This meeting was dedicated to a comprehensive, methodical review of the 65-page employee handbook.

  • Handbook Governance: Clarified that while the handbook establishes county-wide policies, independent elected officials maintain statutory discretion over certain operational matters in their offices.

  • Leave and Accrual: Approved several new policies governing direct deposit, leave accrual based on employment classification, and rules for transferring between exempt and non-exempt status.

  • Sick Leave: Established a 25% payout for sick leave, but only for employees with at least 10 years of service.

  • Operational Policies: Updated policies regarding cell phone use (prohibiting use while operating heavy equipment), inclement weather pay (time and a half for essential personnel during closures), and a 90-day probationary period for new hires.

Commission Meeting Minutes: January 26, 2026 (Pages 10–12)

  • Road Vacation: Following a public hearing, the commission approved Resolution 08-26 to vacate a road.

  • Procedural Conflict: The meeting became contentious during citizen comments regarding whether the public must address the commission as a whole or could target individual commissioners.

  • Abrupt Adjournment: Due to escalating tension and procedural disagreements, the meeting was adjourned early (at 5:46 PM) during the public comment section.

Commission Meeting Minutes: February 2, 2026 (Pages 13–24)

  • New Leadership: Joe Allen was officially sworn in as the District 3 Commissioner.

  • IT Infrastructure Tensions: A significant discussion occurred regarding the decision by the Clerk, Treasurer, and Register of Deeds to move to an independent mail server due to security and service concerns with the current IT provider. Chairman Tran expressed concern over the budget implications of decentralized IT systems.

  • Financial Oversight:

    • Approved accounts payable of $114,143.02.

    • Chairman Tran proposed an “operational audit” (estimated cost $20,000) to investigate potential financial irregularities, which was tabled for further discussion.

    • Discussed hiring a “Fractional CFO” service (Baker Tilly) for $5,500/month, to be split with the Sheriff’s Department.

  • Liaison Program: The commission voted to terminate the Commissioner Liaison program (established in July 2025) and return to collective board decision-making to avoid commissioners interfering with day-to-day department operations.

Author: A Little Faith Lift…Finding Joy Beyond Rejection

AWSA (Advanced Writers & Speakers Assoc.)

Several months ago, I wrote about my friend who was having a double mastectomy. Her surgery was complicated because she had zero body fat needed to reconstruct her breasts. When I told Dave, his response did not surprise me. “Did you tell her that you—I mean we—could donate some of ours?” After sharing that with my friend, we both cracked up (she more than I).

My friend is now home from the hospital. We spoke yesterday. The evening before, it hit her: part of her womanhood was permanently gone. Sitting on the edge of her bed, she teared up but then felt a nudge to turn on her television. There was Nick Vujicic, the evangelist born with no legs or arms, speaking about how God had used his disability to give people encouragement. She knew that God had offered her that nudging so she would refuse to feel sorry for herself.

The pity pot can be such a cushy place to stay, can’t it? When life is all about me, it can become my frequent resting spot. But what would life look like if I chose, instead, to find my comfort in Jesus’ loving arms? I would no longer dwell on how my troubles seem to outweigh God’s ability to make things better and would focus on Romans 8:28 which reminds us that all things work together for good “for those that love the Lord” and are called according to His purpose.

“For those that love the Lord.” What does that kind of love entail?

The Bible gives us a great example of Joseph who, though experiencing serious injustices, loved the Lord and refused to live with a victim mentality. Genesis 37:12-28 tells us that his jealous brothers threw him into a pit and then sold him to Egyptian slave traders who sold him to Potiphar, Pharoah’s captain of the guard.

Potiphar favored Joseph and put him in charge of his household…until, that is, Potiphar’s wife falsely accused Joseph of assaulting her and he was thrown in prison. Once released (over a decade later), Pharoah put Joseph in charge of the whole land of Egypt. From the pit to the palace.

You see, Joseph never suffered from self-pity. He always trusted that God would make something good out of something bad, and he was right. God wants to do the same for us. We never should get comfortable on the pity pot, an oppressive trap of the enemy. Matthew 5:14-16 tells us why. You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.

Staying on the pity pot will keep us immobile. Joyless. Stuck on our wants. Unable to forgive and move on. Bitter. Selfish. And in a very, very dark place. If we want our light seen by others, we, like Joseph, must decide where it can shine best.

KS House Bill 2347 Explained

Governor Kelly Signs Bipartisan Bill to
Combat Crime, Bolster Public Safety


TOPEKA – Governor Laura Kelly has signed House Bill 2347 to strengthen public safety by amending and creating laws related specifically to crimes of theft, buying sexual relations, criminal use of a financial card, and unlawful use of a laser pointer.

“This bipartisan bill takes reasonable steps to ensure that Kansans are safe and that crime is being addressed in our communities,” Governor Laura Kelly said. “Enhancing public safety is essential to building a Kansas where businesses and families want to put down roots.”

Under House Bill 2347, criminal penalties will increase for buying sexual relations, which includes increasing the minimum fine from $1,200 to $2,000 and implementing more stringent educational and treatment programs for offenders.

“House Bill 2347 ensures that Kansas law enforcement possess the tools necessary to protect our most vulnerable citizens,” said Senator Kenny Titus, District 18. “Enhanced penalties and enforcement tools contained in the bill will reduce the demand for human trafficking and allow for easier prosecution of scamsters using gift cards to take advantage of vulnerable Kansans.”

The bill also amends criminal use of a financial card to include gift cards when used to commit fraud or to inappropriately obtain money, goods, property, or services. Additionally, House Bill 2347 would make theft of a motor vehicle that is valued between $500 and $1,500 a severity level 10 nonperson felony.

“From addressing theft to cracking down on fraud, House Bill 2347 makes wide-ranging changes to combat crime in Kansas,” said Representative Dan Osman, District 48. “I’m proud to support this bipartisan, commonsense legislation that will make Kansas communities safer.”

House Bill 2347 also creates the crime of unlawful use of a laser pointer when knowingly directing light at an on-duty law enforcement officer or an aircraft in flight. Anyone who commits the crime may be subject to assault or battery charges.

In addition to House Bill 2347, Governor Kelly also signed House Bill 2183, which codifies existing practice related to judicial deference to state agencies’ interpretation of rules and regulations.

KS New Program To Help Inmates Re-enter Society

SENT, Inc., the Kansas Department of Health and Environment, and the Kansas Department of Corrections Launch Community Health Worker Workforce Development Program

TOPEKA, Kansas. – SENT, Inc., in partnership with the Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE), the Kansas Department of Corrections (KDOC) – specifically, Topeka Correctional Facility (TCF), and Kansas Correctional Industries (KCI), and Health Legacy and Restorative Pathways, is proud to announce the launch of a new Community Health Worker (CHW) Workforce Development Program.   This innovative initiative is designed to strengthen community health while creating meaningful employment pathways for individuals preparing to reenter society.

Through this partnership, individuals currently residing at TCF who have completed KDHE’s CHW certification program are now certified as paid SENT employees while completing onsite, hands-on job training in the CHW role. The program operates as a 7-month work-release internship, providing participants with real-world experience, professional accountability, and workforce readiness during the final phase of incarceration.

“Our top priority at the Kansas Department of Corrections is ensuring that individuals return to their communities with the tools necessary for long-term success,” said Secretary of the Kansas Department of Corrections Jeff Zmuda, “This partnership with SENT, Inc. and the Kansas Department of Health and Environment is a model for effective reentry. By providing residents at the Topeka Correctional Facility with professional certification and real-world experience as Community Health Workers, we are not only strengthening the local healthcare workforce but also creating a proven pathway toward meaningful employment and a stable future.”

Health Legacy and Restorative Pathways has played a critical role in the success of the program by teaching the CHW coursework at TCF and coordinating required service-learning activities. These efforts ensure participants are able to fulfill KDHE certification requirements while gaining practical, community-based experience rooted in restorative and trauma-informed practices.

Participants work alongside SENT’s Community Wellness and Neighbor Advocacy teams, supporting neighbors through health resource navigation, benefits assistance, proactive case management, and connection to critical social and healthcare services. Their work directly strengthens access to care, reduces barriers to essential resources, and supports health equity across Shawnee County.

“By providing certification, on-site training, and connections to housing and healthcare, the program helps participants build careers and furthers equitable access to trusted, community-based care,” said Secretary of the Kansas Department of Health and Environment Janet Stanek. “We’re proud to support a model that strengthens neighborhoods and creates opportunities for Kansas communities.”

Beyond job training, participants are connected to services and resources that include housing navigation, case management, employment readiness resources, and access to healthcare and counseling—all critical components for reducing recidivism and supporting long-term stability after release.

The program was launched with two CHWs, with plans to scale as funding and capacity allow. SENT and its partners view this initiative as a replicable model for combining public health workforce development with successful reentry strategies—strengthening both individual outcomes and community well-being.

“This program represents what is possible when workforce development, public health, and reentry efforts align,” said Jill Rice, Operations Director of SENT, Inc. “These Community Health Workers have earned their certification, are doing meaningful work, and are gaining the experience and stability needed to successfully transition into long-term employment. At the same time, our neighbors benefit from increased access to trusted, community-based health support.”

About SENT, Inc.

SENT, Inc. is grassroots 501(c)(3) nonprofit based in Topeka, Kansas, dedicated to the holistic transformation of neighborhoods in Shawnee County. SENT intentionally walks beside neighbors through loving relationships and strategic development, with a focus on Community Wellness, Education, Housing Development, and Behavioral Health.

This approach aligns with the Department’s vision of transforming lives by creating opportunities for personal and professional advancement, reducing recidivism, and easing the long-term demand for public resources.
