County administrator seeks $5,000 for zoning policy updates; appraiser vehicle to be sold
Summary
County Administrator Truette McQueen asked the Commission for an additional $5,000 in the 2026 zoning budget toward a roughly $10,000 update of zoning policies last revised in 2009 and mentioned including solar farms and battery storage guidance; commissioners agreed to attempt funding under contractual services and to sell the appraiser's Rendezvous vehicle.
County Administrator Truette McQueen told the Commission he is seeking $5,000 of additional funding in the 2026 zoning budget to support an update of zoning policies that have not been revised since 2009, estimating the total project at about $10,000. McQueen said the updates should reflect legislative changes and add guidance on solar farms and battery storage; he noted the county plans the substantive work for 2027 but would prefer to fund the work in 2026 under contractual services with assistance from K‑State if available.
On related capital items, the Commission discussed the appraiser vehicle and reached consensus to sell the Rendezvous rather than retain it for county use. The request to add $5,000 will be incorporated into continued budget discussions; no final appropriation vote occurred on May 12.
