Loading...
Summary
The Coffey County Commission approved a payroll step for a custodian and authorized three real‑estate mortgage releases requested by the Coffey County Housing Authority, all by unanimous votes. Commissioners also discussed housing authority bylaws and upcoming agenda follow‑up.
The Coffey County Commission on April 13 approved a payroll step change for a janitorial/maintenance custodian and authorized three real‑estate mortgage releases at the request of the Coffey County Housing Authority.
The chair opened the meeting by asking the board to approve a payroll step for Sarah Burch, moving her wage classification from step 22 to step 23 and increasing her hourly pay from $18.90 to $19.00 effective April 10, 2026. The motion carried 4‑0 after a second and a brief roll call.
Commissioners then voted, each by unanimous 4‑0 votes, to authorize the chairman to sign mortgage releases acknowledging satisfaction of debts for three properties tied to Housing Authority borrowers. The releases covered: Lori S. A. Brown (tract beginning at the northeast corner of Block 13 in McPadden’s Third Addition, City of Waverly; recorded in volume M313, pages 3–4); Robert C. Colter and Lita L. Colter (Lot 2 and adjacent vacated alley in Blocks 34 and 35, City of Burlington; recorded in volume N‑310, pages 268–269); and Jordan Stone (described tracts in Gridley and part of Meyer’s Addition; recorded in volume M313, pages 291–293). Each motion was moved and seconded on the floor and passed unanimously.
In discussion, commissioners questioned whether the board should include a modified legal description in the minutes when a survey changes property boundaries; staff said the revised description will be filed with the register of deeds and the board agreed to revisit precise motion language next week to ensure a clear paper trail.
The commission also discussed the housing authority’s bylaws (some dated to 1993) and two vacant housing‑authority board seats. Commissioners asked that the housing authority director (Lindsay) and at least one board member attend next week’s meeting so the county can discuss lease, budget and bylaw updates before the upcoming budget process.
The meeting closed the item with no additional formal action on bylaws; commissioners agreed to place housing authority governance on a future agenda.
