The Cherokee County Board unanimously renewed five three-year FEMA leases for properties in Galena, Kansas, covering addresses recorded in county minutes, and recorded each motion and vote during its Oct. 20 meeting.

The Cherokee County Board of Commissioners unanimously approved five three-year renewals of FEMA leases for residential properties in Galena during its Oct. 20 meeting. Emergency Management Director Matt Haviland presented the leases; Commissioner Myra Frazier moved each renewal and motions were seconded and passed unanimously.

The leases approved were recorded in the minutes as follows: Toby VanCleave (8314 Cherry Lane, Galena), Rick Wammack (7486 SE PawPaw, Galena), Robert B. Jones and/or Rosa M. Jones (7927 SE Watermelon, Galena), Gary and Ramona Elderidge (7730 SE Watermelon, Galena), and Ronda Walker (address recorded in the minutes as "00000 SE 78th Terrace," Galena). The minutes note each renewal as a three-year lease and that all motions passed without recorded opposition.

The renewal approvals were presented during the Emergency Management agenda item and no subsequent appeals or remands were recorded in the minutes.
