Public works and emergency-management updates: no bids for courthouse door bid, tax credits deposited, storm cleanup underway
Summary
Public works reported no bids received for a courthouse boiler‑room door project and outlined storm‑damage assessment; county received $192,426.82 in Kansas rehabilitation tax credits and emergency management reported arrival of air packs and progress on Station 4 construction.
Public Works Administrator Jeremy Myers and Administrative Services Manager Caitlin Ross gave a biweekly update that included: no sealed bids were received for the courthouse boiler‑room double‑door project (staff will reissue the request for proposals); the county received $192,426.82 from the Kansas rehabilitation tax‑credit program, which was deposited into the CIP fund; and chip‑sealing operations were delayed by heavy June rainfall but scheduled to resume.
Emergency Management Director Gary Burgess reported an increase in call volume (about a 25% year‑to‑date increase compared with the same period last year), confirmed delivery of seven pallets of air packs for local agencies, and said Station 4 concrete and north‑wall work are underway. Burgess also summarized coordination around FreedomFest storm planning and submitted paperwork for two storm periods (June 4–15 and June 18–30) for possible federal disaster declaration.
Staff said they will reissue the boiler‑room RFP and follow up on contractors’ timelines, continue FEMA/state damage reporting, and proceed with chip‑sealing when weather permits.
