Summary

County staff described Resolution 2026‑08 to set a May 12 public hearing for the Stonewood North CID, citing petition thresholds and an estimated $256,276 cost for road improvements beginning in 2027; the commission adopted the resolution to publish notice.

County staff described a resolution (listed in the packet as Resolution 2026‑08) to set a public hearing on May 12 for the Stonewood North Community Improvement District, east of Hays. Staff said the petition met minimum thresholds — at least 66% of landowners signed and 75% of the land is developed — and that the improvement estimate is $256,276, with the first work (a double seal coat) planned in 2027 and a 1‑inch asphalt lift targeted about five years later.

"Basically, what resolution 2026‑08 states is to set a public hearing, which is notated in the resolution for May 12 at your regular commission meeting at 08:30 AM," staff said. The resolution also outlines financing terms, CID boundaries, and a required certified‑mail notice to property owners and their right to file a protest petition. Commissioner Nathan Leiker moved to adopt the notice resolution; the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote.

The motion authorizes the county clerk to publish two consecutive weeks of notice of the hearing and proceed with the next steps of the CID process should the commission choose to advance the project after public comment. Staff said additional procedural steps and potential protests will be handled through the established process.
