The Crawford County Board of Commissioners met May 22 in Girard and approved a series of routine motions, vendor payments and scheduling items.
The board unanimously approved the consent agenda (motion 26-244), which included the May 19, 2026 minutes and authorization for the chairman to sign prior-week vouchers. County Clerk Lisa Lusker presented a list of motions for the record and signature (motions 26-236 through 26-243), covering appointments, a temporary expansion of alcoholic beverage sale hours for the FIFA World Cup, and multiple authorized executive-session recesses for personnel and security matters.
Separately, the board approved payment of a Tyler Technologies annual invoice for $27,581.30 after Ms. Lusker reported the charge was $1,541 higher than last year (motion 26-246). Commissioner Tom Moody moved and Commissioner Carl Wood seconded the motion; Commissioners Moody, Wood and Chairman Bruce Blair voted in favor.
The commissioners also approved appointing Chief Deputy Matthew Peters as the Crawford County representative to the Southeast Kansas Homeland Security council, effective June 1 (motion 26-240), and authorized publication of a Notice of Intent to Vacate a platted street in Opolis with a public hearing set for June 16 (motion 26-241).
