County expresses interest in KDOT S.T.E.P. model that would reimburse sheriff overtime

Smith County Commissioners · September 29, 2025

Summary

Ryan Lewis briefed the commissioners on KDOT S.T.E.P. campaign model options; Smith County indicated interest in model 2, which would make the sheriff's office eligible for reimbursement of overtime hours tied to the campaign.

Ryan Lewis outlined multiple S.T.E.P. (Safety Traffic Enforcement Program) models available through the Kansas Department of Transportation and said that if Smith County participates in model 2, the sheriff's office would be eligible for overtime reimbursement.
