Commissioners adopt resolution to fence and gate portion of 7th Avenue
Summary
McPherson County adopted Resolution 2026‑13 to fence and gate a low‑use section of 7th Avenue after township and adjacent landowners requested closure for maintenance reasons; the resolution passed by voice vote.
The McPherson County Board of Commissioners unanimously adopted Resolution 2026‑13 to fence and gate a segment of 7th Avenue after hearing from township and county staff that the roadway segment—primarily pasture—is causing maintenance problems due to unauthorized use and muddy conditions. Staff said adjacent landowners have approved the closure and emergency managers will be coordinated to ensure access for first responders.
The motion to approve the resolution was offered by Commissioner (speaker 3) and seconded; commissioners recorded their votes by name during the roll call: "Chairman Becker," "Commissioner Kieser," and "Commissioner Zielnick" were recorded as voting Aye and the chair declared the resolution adopted. Staff clarified the action is a closure/fencing (not abandonment) and that future reopening is possible if circumstances or ownership change.
The board instructed staff to provide the official resolution number (2026‑13) for public record and to coordinate fencing, keys for emergency services, and signage with township officials before implementation.
