The Reno County Board of Commissioners will meet on Wed., Nov. 13, at 9 a.m. in the county courthouse’s Veterans Room.
The first business item concerns the expected approval of the purchase of a new fire engine for Fire District 9 (Haven and St. Joe) due to a pump failure, leaving the district with only one functioning unit.
The commissioners will elect their voting delegate and alternate for the Kansas Association of Counties annual conference.
A lease agreement with the Public Building Commission (PBC) in which the county will lease some properties from the PBC, including the law enforcement training center, fire station improvements, and sublease from Fire District Nos. 3 and 7.
Most of the agenda concerns replacements and appointments to county boards, including updates to the Reno County Health Department’s Advisory Board guidelines, replacement appointees to that board, and renewal of appointments to the Reno County Council on Aging and the Public Transportation Commission.
The commission will discuss adopting a water conservation policy and will finish the meeting by selecting professional services for the new EMS station on West 5th Ave.
The commission will adjourn into two executive sessions, one regarding a potential real estate acquisition and one to discuss non-elected personnel.
