All board members present
Today was a very short meeting, adjourning just before 10 a.m.
Clancy Holeman, Counselor, discussed the upcoming shift of responsibility for the City/County Health Dept to Riley County alone. The question was posed as to how the City will transfer their Health Board funds to Riley County. The city charter ordinance states that there are several ways possible to do this. (It is actually even possible that they could retain the funds although it wasn’t clear how they could justify this). The BOCC all agreed that they need to know how much money is held by the city and that will go to the county citing the need for time to plan for the transfer which is scheduled for the beginning of January. McCulloh opined that the shift to the county was not necessarily a bad thing but there are many complicated issues to deal with and time is short. The topic will be discussed at the next city/county meeting.
The press conference included the announcement of a salsa contest - the relish, not the dance - sponsored by the Kaw Valley chapter of Our Local Foods Kansas. The recipe must include at least 2 fresh ingredients grown locally in Kansas.
Leon Hobson announced three roads where liquid dust control will be applied.
The county fair starts this week. Extensive information on the events was in a special section of the Manhattan Mercury.
The Law Board Agency is scheduled for noon.
