The Labette County Commission approved Resolution 2025-44-L on Nov. 17, authorizing county signatures to approve the City of Altamont’s proposed annexation of Idle Hour Lake.
Commissioner Terry Weidert moved to approve Resolution 2025-44-L, which authorizes the commission signatures approving the proposed annexation. Tom Barrett seconded the motion and the board approved it by recorded unanimous vote.
According to the minutes, the resolution will take effect after it is published three consecutive weeks in the county’s official newspaper, consistent with the procedural requirement noted in the motion.
