Commissioner reports Crisis Intervention Center open house; EMS schedule could be affected by road work

Smith County Commissioners · April 20, 2026

Summary

Commissioner Brady Peterson described an open house at the Crisis Intervention Center in Hays; commissioners and EMS representative noted planned C Road work could affect response times and Keith Wangerin will attend a KEMSA board meeting.

Commissioner Brady Peterson told the board he attended an open house for the Crisis Intervention Center in Hays and described the building layout and rooms available for people experiencing mental-health crises.

The minutes also record that Keith Wangerin will be gone to attend a Kansas EMS (KEMSA) board meeting and that the road department’s planned work on C Road could affect EMS response times. The minutes state, "the work could affect EMS response time for calls," but do not include any operational directives or mitigation plans tied to that possibility.

No formal action on EMS staffing or response protocols was taken at the meeting; follow-up coordination between road and EMS leadership would be necessary to manage any temporary service impacts.
