Overbrook authorizes mayor to sign KDHE consent order tied to 60% state loan forgiveness for wastewater project
Summary
The council approved Mayor Jon Brady signing a KDHE consent order that sets project completion dates as part of a 60% state loan forgiveness package for the wastewater project. Council voted 5‑0 to authorize the mayor to sign the order.
The Overbrook City Council on Dec. 11 authorized Mayor Jon Brady to sign a Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE) consent order that accompanies approval for 60% state loan forgiveness toward the city’s wastewater project.
During Special Reports the council was told the state has approved 60% loan forgiveness and that KDHE submitted a consent order establishing specific project completion dates. Council Member Carol Baughman moved to authorize the mayor to sign the consent order; Hanna Smith seconded and the motion passed 5‑0.
City staff did not provide specific completion dates in the public minutes; the consent order itself was presented for signature. Council did not record any amendments to the order during the meeting. The action advances the wastewater project by formalizing KDHE’s timeline requirements while preserving the available loan forgiveness.
Council members did not request a follow‑up vote on modifications; next steps are administrative—signed acceptance of the consent order by the mayor and adherence to the KDHE schedule. The council’s approval was recorded as a unanimous 5‑0 vote.
