The Board unanimously approved employee and vendor claims totaling $1,138,327.89, authorized payroll for Kaylee Poock at $46,000 annually through Resolution 26-49, approved a liquor license for the Buchanan County Fair Association and placed multiple manure management plans on file.
The Buchanan County Board of Supervisors on April 20 approved routine but sizable fiscal and personnel items, including employee claims, county vendor claims and a payroll authorization for an employee in the County Attorney’s Office. Motions were made and seconded by Supervisors John Kurtz and Keith Wieland and carried by unanimous vote.
The minutes record approval of employee claims totaling $567.77 and vendor claims of $1,135,628.98; the detailed claims listing in the minutes shows a final total of $1,138,327.89. Notable recorded items include a fee/payment to UMB Bank, N.A. of $828,243.75. The Board also approved payroll authorization for Kaylee Poock, Legal Assistant/Crime Victim Coordinator in the County Attorney’s Office, at an annual salary of $46,000 effective April 20, 2026. Resolution 26-49 documents the payroll authorization and clarifies that the County Auditor is authorized to issue biweekly paychecks for the position; the County Attorney is an elected official and personnel decisions for elected officials are addressed via payroll authorization to the Auditor in the resolution text.
During the meeting the Board approved a liquor license for the Buchanan County Fair Association. The Board also voted to place multiple manure management plans on file for operations in several townships (WB Farms, AJPA LLC, Bear Creek Bacon LLC, DJS Farms, Mossner Site, Francios Site). Those plans were stored in the county records; the minutes do not record additional action beyond placing the plans on file.
Ambulance Director Kimberly Lingenfelter provided an update on Buchanan County Ambulance Service; no formal action was taken on the report. The Board heard additional board and commission updates and public comments before adjourning at 9:31 a.m.
