RENO COUNTY, Kan. — As part of his monthly report to the County Commission filed as part of the July 12 agenda, Reno County District Attorney Tom Stanton let Commissioners know that at a future date he plans to come to them to approve a Cremation Permit Fee to be assessed for the coroner issuing a permit to cremate bodies in Reno County.
Fees for this service are assessed in all but two Kansas counties. Reno County is one of the two that has not done so yet. Stanton would like commission approval, because the fees will not be processed through his office, but rather through the county's general accounting system. The funds received will go to the county's general fund and be used to help offset the cost of the contract between the county and the County Coroner.
Stanton did not say in his report when he plans to bring this to the commission.
The Board of Reno County Commissioners meets Wednesday at 9 a.m. in the Veterans Room of the Reno County Courthouse.
