Morton County denies $8,590.18 invoice from attorney Colin Wood for former sheriff's defense
Summary
The Board voted unanimously to disallow payment of a $8,590.18 invoice submitted by attorney Colin Wood for representation of Thad Earls, citing lack of prior budget approval and failure to coordinate with the county liability provider (KCAMP).
The Morton County Board on June 15 voted to deny and disallow payment of an $8,590.18 invoice submitted by attorney Colin Wood for representation of Thad Earls in Morton County District Court Case No. 2025-CV-24. Commissioner J.W. Finn moved the disallowance, citing the absence of prior budgetary approval under K.S.A. 19-805 and the Sheriff's failure to coordinate with the county's liability carrier, KCAMP; Vice-Chairman Ed Anderson seconded and the motion carried by unanimous roll-call vote.
The motion also stated the invoice related to an unauthorized attempt to use public funds to finance a civil action against the county's governing board and legal counsel. The Board recorded the disallowance in the minutes and no payment was approved.
