Commissioners highlight local events, childcare center visit and voter registration reminder
Summary
Commissioners used the July 14 meeting to promote local events that support an EMS sales tax proposal, note a visit to a new child care facility, and remind residents that July 14 was the voter registration deadline.
At the start of the July 14 meeting, commissioners made several brief community announcements. Commissioner James Campbell said Atchison has a busy summer schedule and suggested that increased visitor traffic reinforces the case for a one-cent EMS sales tax; he encouraged residents to research the proposal and visit the county website.
Commissioner John Calhoon said he had visited the First Steps Child Care Learning Center, called it a ‘‘great new facility for our community,’’ and said he would attend the Northeast Kansas Community Action Program (NEKCAP) board meeting later in the week in Hiawatha. Calhoon also reminded residents that July 14 was the last day to register to vote.
Chairwoman Casey Quinn noted she would attend an upcoming NEKES meeting and thanked Michelle Urban, host of KAIR Radio’s "Better Living," for inviting the commissioners to participate on the program.
The comments were brief and informational; no formal agenda items or votes were attached to these announcements.
