Delaware County authorizes condemnation proceedings on Kansas Dry Creek Road project
Summary
The Board voted unanimously Nov. 18 to file condemnation proceedings on the Kansas Dry Creek Road Project; a public commenter had earlier urged clearer signage for 911 on Dry Creek and Daytown roads.
The Delaware County Board of Commissioners voted Nov. 18 to authorize filing condemnation proceedings for the Kansas Dry Creek Road Project.
Commissioner Jake Callihan moved to "file and move forward with condemnation proceedings" on the project, a motion seconded by Commissioner David Beck and carried unanimously by roll call. The board cited direction from Pam Ireland during the discussion.
The action follows public comment from resident Rocky Carroll, who urged clearer signage in the Dry Creek area to aid 911 response. Carroll said, "There should be two signs, Dry Creek Road and Daytown Road," and raised the issue in conjunction with agenda item #21. The board recorded the comment and moved forward with legal steps on the project.
The board did not set a public hearing date in the minutes; the motion authorizes county staff and legal counsel to begin the condemnation process and related filings. Further procedural steps — including any required notices, appraisals or hearings — will be scheduled following the filing of documents.
What happens next: County legal and engineering staff will prepare and file the condemnation paperwork as directed; the board will receive updates as the legal process proceeds.
