PUBLIC WORKS 08-25-08
The Board considered the approval of a resolution conditionally approving the extension of E 400 Road north of N 1950 Road as tabled from the August 13, 2008 meeting.
McElhaney stated he is in support of the road extension, but that the road extension is not intended to create subdivisions.
Johnson stated his support for the road extension but went on to clarify that each individual petition consideration will be based on criteria.
Jones stated he is opposed to the road extension and will support only when the extension is economically viable and makes sense in terms of connectivity or environmental well being. He will also consider the safety factor.
McElhaney moved to approve Resolution 08-36 of the Board of County Commissioners of Douglas County, Kansas, approving the extension of E400 Road. The motion was seconded by Johnson and approved with a 2-1 vote. Jones voted in opposition.
ACCOUNTS PAYABLE 08-25-08
Jones moved to approve accounts payable in the amount of $334,237.05 to be paid on 08/25/08, and a wire transfer in the amount of $257,021.75 to be paid on 08/29/08. Motion was seconded by McElhaney and carried unanimously.
MISCELLANEOUS 08-25-08
Craig Weinaug, County Administrator, updated the Board on the status of the Pro Tem position applicant review process. Weinaug stated Judge Fairchild would like to form a review committee consisting of three judges and three non-judge members (one being an attorney and two non-attorneys). This process would be similar to the process used for district court appointments. It was the consensus of the Board to offer that each Commissioner appoint one of the three non-judge members. This was purely an offer to Judge Fairchild to provide assistance if he chooses.
Johnson moved to adjourn the meeting; Jones seconded and the motion carried.
