County enters KDOT bridge program, sets right‑of‑way payments and raises landfill tire fees
Summary
The commission approved entering KDOT's Local Bridge Improvement Program for the North Island Bridge (Agreement No. 1201-25, Project No. 67 C-5387-01), set right‑of‑way requisitions totaling $2,831.64 for two properties, and increased tire disposal fees at the county landfill effective March 1, 2026.
Road & Bridge Director Mike Brown provided several operational updates and requests. Commissioners approved participation in the Kansas Department of Transportation's Kansas Local Bridge Improvement Program, Agreement No. 1201-25, Project No. 67 C-5387-01, to replace the North Island Bridge. The commission also approved right‑of‑way requisition estimated values for Bridge No. 45-6.2 to the Good Family ($2,086.55) and the Smith Family Trust ($745.09), to be paid from the Road Sales Tax fund.
Separately, the commission authorized an increase in landfill tire disposal fees to $300 per ton (bulk) and an increase of $1 for individual tires, effective March 1, 2026, to reflect rising disposal costs (minutes cite Champlin Tire increasing rates). Brown also noted a KDOT auction on March 24, 2026 and said bidding for the 70th and 4 Bridges overlay would be scheduled at the next meeting.
