Public Works Project Manager Mike Freeman presented the County Engineer's/Road Supervisor's Annual Report for 2025, which the county submits to the Kansas Department of Transportation (KDOT) for inclusion in statewide infrastructure data. The minutes record that the report's data are compiled into the Kansas Local Infrastructure Planning Tool (KLIP), which displays historic county variables — assessed valuation, annual funding, population, pavement maintenance, bridge maintenance and more — and offers a future scenario planner to estimate funding needed to maintain current service levels.

The report is used by staff to adjust assumptions such as paved and unpaved roadway miles and bridge deck area to determine the level of service achievable under different funding projections. The transcript does not include verbatim quotes from Mike Freeman's presentation; the minutes instead summarize the report's content and KLIP's role in county infrastructure planning.
