Osage County signs project programming request to secure $640,000 KDOT safety grant, local match estimated $97,000
Summary
County staff told commissioners Osage County was selected for a $640,000 KDOT high‑risk rural roads safety project for FY2028; commissioners approved a project programming request certifying local funds will be available, with the county's share estimated at $97,000.
Osage County commissioners approved a project programming request on March 24 that certifies the county will provide required local funds to supplement federal transportation money for a high‑risk rural roads safety project.
County staff member Ryan Fine told commissioners that the county was selected by the Kansas Department of Transportation (KDOT) for a safety project and that KDOT released $640,000 in federal funds for the work programmed in fiscal year 2028. Ryan said the county’s portion is estimated at $97,000 but “it could be higher in the future,” and recommended commissioners sign the programming request so the project can move forward.
A commissioner moved to "approve the project programming request as presented from Ryan Fine," another commissioner seconded, and the motion carried. The transcript records the motion, second and “Motion carries,” but does not include a numeric roll-call tally.
The programming request certifies that Osage County has or will have sufficient funds available to meet the local cost share when required to supplement federal funds for the project. Commissioners signed the request after the vote.
