Atchison County to consider Meade Road water‑line update; clerk orders five Purple Heart signs
Summary
Road and Bridge interim superintendent Emily Sternsdorff reported that the local Rural Water district asked the county to update water lines on Meade Road; staff will obtain a quote. County Clerk Susan Carrigan said she will order five Purple Heart roadway signs and staff will check with KDOT about placement.
Emily Sternsdorff, Road and Bridge interim superintendent, told the Atchison County Commission on June 9 that the Rural Water district has requested the county update water lines at Meade Road and that Rhonda Snyder is preparing a quote for the work. "Rural Water district would like us to update the lines now. Rhonda Snyder is working on quote for the commission," Sternsdorff said.
Commissioners did not act on the request at the June 9 meeting; staff will bring cost estimates and scope details back to the board for further consideration next week. The minutes do not specify cost, timeline, or whether state or federal funds would be sought (not specified).
On signage, County Clerk Susan Carrigan said she will order five Purple Heart signs for county roads and that Sternsdorff will contact the Kansas Department of Transportation to determine whether the county can add the signs to existing county signage. Carrigan said, "The clerk will order 5 signs and Emily will reach out to KDOT to find out if we can add to the existing county signs."
A request from the Sheriff's Office to use reserve funds for a purchase was discussed and tabled until the next meeting; the commission took no final action on that budget item on June 9.
Next steps: staff to provide a quote for Meade Road water-line updates and report back at the following meeting; Clerk's office to order Purple Heart signs and confirm KDOT permission for placement.
