Commission approves signage at 'Old Allen' and eases entrance approval for hard‑surfaced roads
Summary
The Board approved two new signs to flank the 'Old Allen' Santa Fe Trail marker and approved a change to the entrance application that removes the requirement for Commission approval of entrances on hard‑surfaced roads; County Engineer said the sign cost would be negligible.
County Engineer Wayne Scritchfield presented two related public-works items: a request from the Heart of the Flint Hills Chapter of the Santa Fe Trail to install two signs alongside the existing "Old Allen" marker, and a proposed change to the county's entrance-application process.
Scritchfield said the sign installation would require negligible county expense and recommended approval; the Commission approved the signage request 3-0. He also presented a change to the new-entrance application that "removes the requirements to have all entrances on hard surfaced roads approved by the County Commission," and the Commission approved that change 3-0.
Both motions passed unanimously; Public Works staff will direct Road & Bridge to install the signs and update administrative procedures for the entrance-application process.
