Council questions who is responsible for Ness Road resurfacing; attorney to contact Labette County
Summary
Council reviewed photos showing deterioration on Ness Road and debated whether resurfacing is the city's or Labette County’s responsibility; Attorney Myers will contact the county to clarify maintenance and resurfacing obligations.
Councilmembers reviewed photographs of Ness Road presented at the April 10 meeting and discussed whether responsibility for resurfacing falls to the City of Altamont or Labette County. The minutes record questions and discussion but do not include a council decision assigning responsibility; Attorney Myers was asked to contact the county to clarify jurisdiction and possible resurfacing responsibilities.
The discussion is preliminary: staff and the council will await the county’s response to determine whether the county will resurface Ness Road south of 4th Street to 7th Street or the railroad tracks, or whether the city must plan and fund the work. No timeline or funding commitment was recorded in the minutes.
