Summary
The board approved accounts payable of $60,194.43 and the Oct. 6 minutes, heard brief department head updates from multiple county officials and held two executive sessions on non-elected personnel with no action taken.
Ottawa County commissioners on Oct. 13 approved accounts payable totaling $60,194.43 and approved the commission minutes for Oct. 6, 2025; both motions passed 3-0.
Department heads provided brief updates to the commission: Keith Coleman (Facilities Director), Chris Smith (Public Works Director), Jeff Ebel (County Attorney), Marie Ballou (Emergency Management Director), Lou Anne Snavely (Health Department), Shelby Walker (Register of Deeds), JoDee Copple (County Treasurer) and Tammi Cox (County Clerk). Public Works Director Chris Smith reported the recent tire recycling event "went well." The commission held two executive sessions under the non-elected personnel exception to the Kansas Open Meetings Act; each returned with no action taken.
Why it matters: Routine approvals kept county operations current; department head reports gave commissioners operational status updates on facilities, public works, emergency management and health services.
