The board authorized publication of a notice under K.S.A. 68‑102 for a hearing on April 6, 2026, to consider vacating a 1,984.23‑foot portion of Henry Blumberg Road (182nd Street); the notice will run March 5 in the Oskaloosa Independent.
County Counselor Josh Ney told the Jefferson County Board of Commissioners on Feb. 23 that he sought approval to publish a legal notice under K.S.A. 68‑102 to begin proceedings to vacate a portion of county road right‑of‑way.
The board approved publication of the notice in the Oskaloosa Independent on March 5, 2026, and set a public hearing for April 6, 2026, at 1:45 p.m. at the Jefferson County Courthouse. The legal description provided at the meeting identifies the portion as beginning at Sherman Road and proceeding east 1,984.23 feet along Henry Blumberg Road (182nd Street), referencing Jefferson County Road Records (Book D, Page 290‑291, established 1904).
