May 19, 2026

Riley County approved a memorandum of agreement to provide WIC services on Fort Riley and discussed a WIC grant application that county staff say faces a funding shortfall; staff asked to return next week with corrected budget numbers before final approval.

The full story

The board recessed as the county Board of Health so David Adams, interim health department director, could present a memorandum of agreement between Riley County and the U.S. Army Garrison Fort Riley to provide WIC clinic services on the base. Adams highlighted three provisions: the county may terminate the agreement if KDHE funding is reduced or eliminated; the agreement will be renewed annually and reviewed mid-year; and Kathy Jones is the county's designated signatory for the agreement.
