Atchison County appraiser presents 2026 final values; board holds executive session and adjourns to workshop
Summary
County Appraiser Holley Hackathorn presented the 2026 final values and assessments; the board recessed into a 30‑minute executive session under K.S.A. 75‑4319(b)(1) to discuss personnel matters and later adjourned into a workshop at 11:55 a.m. Several routine motions (agenda approval, consent agenda, workshop adjournment) were recorded as passing 2‑0.
Holley Hackathorn, the county appraiser, presented Atchison County’s 2026 final values and assessments during the June 9 meeting. The minutes record the presentation but do not include numerical totals or parcel‑level impacts; the appraisal totals and their effect on tax rates were not specified in the meeting record.
Following presentations, Commissioner James Campbell moved the board into a closed executive session at 10:26 a.m. to discuss personnel matters of non‑elected personnel under K.S.A. 75‑4319(b)(1). "The purpose of the closed session is to protect the privacy rights of the employee," Campbell said when moving the motion. The board stated the closed session would last 30 minutes and include the three commissioners, the clerk, HR staff, the county counselor and the Road & Bridge superintendent.
The minutes record procedural votes: approval of the agenda (with the addition of Schwab Eaton Phase III Agreement) passed 2‑0; the consent agenda passed 2‑0 while the minutes item was tabled until next week; and a motion to adjourn into a workshop at 11:55 a.m. passed 2‑0. The record does not identify an individual who seconded the executive‑session motion, nor does it include detailed vote roll calls for each motion beyond the tallies recorded.
The board’s certified minutes show the meeting moved into workshop business after the regular session adjourned; the workshop included a discussion with John Funk about a bridge and a separate discussion regarding Benny Taylor and a UTV for the Noxious Weed Department, with no formal actions or funding approvals recorded in the minutes for those workshop items.
The record cites K.S.A. 75‑4319(b)(1) as the legal basis for the executive session on personnel; no further personnel details were disclosed in the minutes.
