Ellis County updates moving-permit policy, approves resolution allowing broader oversized loads
Summary
Public Works presented and the commission approved Resolution R2026-02 to expand moving permits beyond over-height loads to cover over-length, over-width and overweight loads; commissioners set the maximum penalty under state statute and approved the resolution 3-0.
Brandon McKay, director of Public Works, told the commission the county’s current moving-permit process covered only over-height loads and needed to be updated to include over-length, over-width and overweight loads. "So right now, our moving permits only deal with over height loads," he said, and staff proposed expanding the permit and adding clearer penalty language.
Commissioners discussed the penalty and noted the statute allows a maximum fine; staff said the penalty can be set up to $500 under KSA 8-1901 and the board chose to adopt the maximum. Commissioner Nathan Leiker moved to approve Resolution R2026-02 establishing policy for moving building structures and other oversized loads on county roads; the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote, 3-0.
