Commission appoints Tempest Harrison to process county payments while clerk absent
Summary
Facing delayed vendor payments and a short-staffed clerk's office, the commission approved Resolution 2026-007-a authorizing Tempest Harrison to process approved county orders and accounts payable in the CIC system under the CIC administrator's supervision.
The Osage County commission on April 28 approved Resolution 2026-007-a to appoint Tempest Harrison (appraiser's office) to process approved county orders and payments within the Computer Information Concepts (CIC) system on a temporary basis while the clerk's office is short-staffed.
The resolution states Tempest Harrison "is authorized as county staff reporting to Carl Miller, CIC Administrator for Osage County, Kansas, to process approved county orders and payments of accounts payable, payroll, and payment of other county debts within CIC and associated county depository accounts." The board approved the resolution after discussion about unpaid invoices and clerical absences.
Commissioners also agreed to hold standing noon daily calls (open meetings) to monitor payment processing and directed staff to post public notice. The board described the appointment as a stopgap measure until the newly hired county controller is onboard and permanent processes are restored.
