Summary

The BOCC approved an intergovernmental agreement with the Ponca Tribe to maintain roadways benefiting Kay County residents; the district attorney noted the agreement extends beyond one year but deferred judgment to the board.

The Kay County Board of County Commissioners on March 9 approved an intergovernmental agreement with the Ponca Tribe to perform maintenance on county roadways that benefit Kay County residents. The agreement was approved "as written," and District Attorney Brian Hermanson reviewed and approved it as to form before the board voted.

Hermanson told the board the agreement extends for more than one year and said, "If there is an economic benefit to maintaining the roads, I would be fine with the agreement, but I'll leave the decision to the judgment of the BOCC." Commissioners voted unanimously to approve the agreement.

The approval formalizes a cooperative maintenance arrangement between the county and the Ponca Tribe intended to support roadway upkeep in parts of Kay County; the motion record does not specify project timelines or dollar amounts. For details and exact contractual language, the county clerk’s office records the intergovernmental agreement.
