Commissioners with light agenda Tuesday

Posted Sep 12, 2022 1:58 PM

HUTCHINSON, Kan. — The zoning case for a proposed coffee shop in Yoder is on what is a light agenda for the Board of County Commissioners on Tuesday.

The county planning board already approved the case for Lawrence Street Properties, LLC for a conditional use permit to establish a coffee shop with drive-thru window at 9805 S. Yoder Road which is at the southwest corner of E. Red Rock Road and S. Yoder Road.

Also on the agenda is the destruction of 2020 Presidential General Election material, as statute says national ballots should be kept for 22 months. At the expiration of such time, the county election officer shall destroy them without previously opening any of the envelopes, in the presence of two electors of approved integrity and good repute, members of the two leading political parties. Such electors shall be designated by the board of county commissioners.

Public Works is set to put a pair of pressure washers on the PurpleWave auction site.

Also the commission will vote on the appointments of Dave Yoder as the Fire Chief and Todd Strain as the Assistant Fire Chief of Reno County Fire District 8.

The purchase of three vehicles for the Reno County Sheriff's Office will be voted on as well. The department wants to buy three 2023 Ford Interceptor SUVs from Midwest Ford in the amount of $42,868 each for a total of $128,604.

The commission will designate a voting delegate and alternate for the Kansas Association of Counties (KAC) annual conference effective October 5, 2022 until the 2023 KAC Annual Conference and receive the annual report from the county's Information Technology department.

The Board of County Commissioners will meet at 9:00 a.m. on Tuesday, September 13, 2022, in the Reno County Annex Conference Room at 125 W. 1st Avenue.
