YOUTH SERVICES 04-14-10
Pam Weigand, Director of Youth Services, presented the Board with a request for approval of the 7th Judicial District Juvenile Justice Authority Funding Application for FY2011. Weigand stated she is facing the Governor's FY2011 budget reduction recommendations for prevention grant funds which will account for approximately a one-third reduction to support community prevention programs. Weigand's Funding Request Summary for FY2011 reflects the possible elimination of five programs: Tutoring for Success USD348 High School; Bulldog Den USD348 Junior High School; Math & Reading Support (MARS) USD348 Elementary; RAMP Reading & Math Program Eudora West Elementary; and the Douglas County Citizen Review Board.
After discussion, Thellman moved to approve the 7th Judicial District Juvenile Justice Authority Prevention and Core Services Funding Application for FY2011. Motion was seconded by Gaughan and carried 3-0.
PUBLIC WORKS 04-14-10
The Board considered the approval of a resolution to amend the County Code to allow issuance of annual permits for moving oversized and overweight loads on county roads. Keith Browning, Director of Public Works, presented the item. Since the adoption of Resolution No. HR-08-11-03 establishing regulations for issuance of oversize and overweight load permits, the department has since received several inquiries about our issuing an annual permit, as opposed to a single trip permit. The current regulations do not provide for an annual permit. State regulations allow KDOT to issue annual permits. Browning proposed a county resolution and Rules & Regulations that match the state size and weight requirements for annual permits. The proposed resolution establishes a $300 fee for an annual permit. The fee for a single trip permit is $50 base fee plus $10 permit.
After discussion, Flory moved to approve Home Rule Resolution No. HR-10-4-2 (which amends HR-08-11-3) requiring permits for oversize and overweight vehicles; delegating permitting authority to the Director of Public Works; and providing for penalties and enforcement; and amending the County Code to allow issuance of annual permits for moving oversize/ overweight loads on county roads. Motion was seconded by Thellman and carried 3-0.
MISCELLANEOUS 04-14-10
Flory gave an update to the Board on the status of the Noise Ordinance. He met earlier today with the Ken McGovern, Sheriff; Steve Hornberger, Undersheriff; Evan Ice, County Counselor; and Charles Branson, District Attorney and feels they are making progress.
MISCELLANEOUS 04-14-10
Linda Finger, Planning Resource Coordinator, stated the Planning Commission will be hearing comments on the proposed environmental chapter of Horizon 2020. It was the consensus that the Board would like a presentation about the chapter as soon as it can be scheduled.
