Kay County to solicit bids for administration‑building carport despite lack of historic signoff
Summary
Commissioners authorized bids for a carport west of the Kay County Administration Building that would occupy seven parking spaces to shelter county vehicles; Commissioner Jason Shanks said he will proceed "without their blessings" after unsuccessful outreach to local historians and the City of Newkirk.
The Kay County BOCC authorized solicitation of bids for construction of a carport in the west parking lot of the County Administration Building. Commissioner Jason Shanks described the planned structure as occupying seven parking spaces and intended to shelter a trailer, a pickup and two vehicles assigned to the County Assessor’s Office.
Commissioner Shanks said he had attempted to contact local historians and the City of Newkirk about the project but had not received a response; when asked whether the work would be finished before the county centennial celebration, Shanks replied yes and indicated he would "proceed with the project without their blessings." The board voted to solicit bids. The minutes record the authorization but do not include design drawings, estimated cost, or a target construction schedule; follow-up with the County Clerk’s procurement records is recommended for technical details and timelines.
