Commission Approves Solar Agreement, Works on End-of-Year Financials

The north wing, east side of the Bourbon County Courthouse.

The commission meeting opened with several members of the audience making public comments.

Public Comments

Lora Holdridge: Register of Deeds

Holdridge explained to the commission that her office was moved out of the computer room last week by Stronghold, the county’s IT department. She keeps the equipment needed to run her office there. She expressed concern about Stronghold and CrawKan moving equipment into the space she had been using. With the understanding that dispatch is moving out, she wondered if she could use that space for her 4 scanners and a six-foot shelving unit and another camera. “I just need all my stuff together in one place,” she said.

Commissioner Mika Milburn-Kee said she is working on a resolution delineating where each department will be housed in the courthouse building.

JD Handly

J.D. Handley spoke to the commission, representing himself. He said the three-minute time limit the commission puts on public comments is disrespectful and unnecessary. “You know the saying, ‘If it’s not broke, don’t try to fix it’? Well, I see a lot of that going on,” he said.

Handly mentioned a Public Works employee politely addressing the commission a few weeks ago and asking them some questions. The commission ignored him, according to Handly, which he sees as very disrespectful. He reminded the commission that the employee is a voter and taxpayer, as well as a county employee. He said they owe him a public apology and an invitation back to the meeting to have his questions answered.

“I am tired of the animosity between the clerk and this commission. It’s putrid,” he said. He said County Clerk Susan Walker is capable of serving as the commission’s administrative assistant and could do so if it weren’t for the petty differences between the commission and her.

“We didn’t elect you people to come in here and sit in these seats and bicker amongst one another,” he said. “Set your differences aside and take care of the county’s business. If you can’t do that, then resign and let somebody else in the seat that can.”

He also said that the outsourcing of human resources and payroll is ridiculous.

“Set your differences aside. If you can’t, step out,” he concluded. A few audience members clapped as he left.

Greg Motley — Freeman

Motley is resigning as a Freeman Board Member to avoid a conflict of interest as the County Commission District 4 Commissioner Elect.

He reported that Freeman is serving the county well, operating at a loss of more than seven figures as they await final approval from the state.

Deanna Betts with Bourbon County Core Community

Bett thanked the commission for their support of the poverty program, Core Community, started two years ago.

Over the last two years, they’ve conducted two classes, bringing eight people out of poverty, which is ahead of the average of 3-4 years it normally takes for a person to get out of poverty.

She said they are partnering with Redemption House to offer their participants wrap-around services.

She said they have contribution agreements with the solar companies, so she advocated signing those, as it would enable Core Community to offer more services and get more people out of poverty.

Approval of Minutes (unofficial until approved) 12.01.25

Postponed to 12-15-2025

Consent Agenda
Approval of 12.05.25 Accounts Payable & Longevity Payroll (sent 12.3.25) $289,244.53
Tax Corrections

Commissioner Samuel Tran brought up expenses and how the county tracks the technology purchased. He also expressed concern about the fact that department heads can spend their budgets on other departments’ needs. While he agrees with the spirit of helping one another, he doesn’t think this is an ethical process for obtaining the equipment.

Commissioner David Beerbower addressed his concern, saying the commission needs to create oversight, starting on the first of the year with the new commission. He also said that there’s an annual inventory of the county’s property to help track the county’s items per statute.

Tran asked who was checking the inventory.

The County Clerk and the Register of Deeds both offered an explanation of the way they purchased technology, but Beerbower said he didn’t want one at that time.

Tran asked Walker to explain the funding of the county’s longevity pay.

Walker started an explanation, but didn’t complete it. She then said he was being disrespectful and that he didn’t understand how things are done.

Tran said he just wants accurate numbers. When Tran wanted to explain the meeting he had with the clerk to the rest of the commissioners, she refused to stay at the table.

Milburn asked to move locksmith charges from the county commission fund to the IT fund. Motion was approved.

Beerbower moved to approve the consent agenda as corrected. Motion carried.

EMS Award

Tom Odin, a neuroscience nurse from St. Luke’s, presented awards for Bourbon County EMS and Scott Township for a stroke call they took on July 10, 2025. The EMS and Scott Township workers called air evac and transported the patient to St. Luke’s in Kansas City. He is doing fine now.

Odin recognized Michael Houston, Todd Miller, Justine Banwart, Dylan Peterson, Robert Kline, Ron Witter, Adam Miles, and Jason Eastwood for their quick response and activation of AirEMS for rapid transport, which made a significant difference in the patient’s outcome.

The commission participated in a number of executive sessions for lawyer client privilege and returned to session with action.

Resolution 39-25 – Contribution Agreement Hinton Creek
Resolution 40-25 – Contribution Agreement Tennyson Creek
Resolution 41-25 – Tennyson Creek exemption from Moratorium
Hinton Creek First Amendment
Tennyson Creek First Amendment
Tennyson Creek Contribution Agreement
Settlement and Release Agreement Tennyson Creek
Settlement and Release Agreement Hinton Creek
Contribution Agreement Hinton Creek

The attorney went over the agreements, which have been made available to the public. There are nine documents which mirror each other. There are solar projects on Tennyson Creek and Hinton Creek. These documents seek to resolve pending litigation between various land owners and the board of commissioners.  The documents included are two proposed contribution agreements, amendments to development agreements signed by previous commissions, and three resolutions for the board’s consideration including an exemption from the moratorium, and approval of contribution agreements for Hinton Creek and Tennyson Creek.

The attorney advised approving the exemption to the moratorium first and considering the rest of the agreements together, followed by the two resolutions for the contribution agreements.

Beerbower moved to accept Resolution 4125, Tran seconded. Milburn asked for a ten minute recess to look over information.

Before beginning on the voting, they opened the floor for public comments.

Pete Owenby asked about battery electric storage systems. Tran said they don’t have enough information since the project is in the formative stage. 800 megawatts is the maximum aloud per the agreement. There’s a 400 foot setback requirements from a non-participants house.

Owenby asked if the solar company will be allowed to move to other sections. Tran said it depends on the landowners’ willingness to lease to them.

Owenby confirmed that the zoning committee does not affect the Tennyson Creek and Hinton Creek projects.

Randy Mcanulty spoke to the commission about his neighbor across the road. This neighbor is leasing land to the solar companies and his property line is 90 feet from Mcanulty’s house.

He expressed concern for how the land will be cleaned up once the solar farms are obsolete, as well as the reduction in property value for those who live near the farms. He expressed concern about the next generations having to clean up the equipment.

“All they’re doing is screwing their family down the road,” he said of those who take a lease check from the solar companies and let them use the land for their projects.

Mary Pimperton thanked the commissioners for hiring an attorney and negotiating a deal the the solar companies. “I think there’s been a very good resolution come to that will allow the county to benefit from the projects.”

“This is a long time coming,” said Tran. His name was on the original lawsuit prior to becoming a commissioner because he is a firm believer that government officials don’t have the right to take away the next officials’ policing power.

Beerbower moved to adopt resolution 4125, exempting Tennyson Creek and Hinton Creek from the moratorium on solar projects. The motion passed unanimously.

Beerbower then moved to adopt the development agreement, contribution agreement, and settlement and release agreements for both Tennyson and Hinton Creek projects. They were all approved unanimously.

Sonia Lala with Small Business Administration Disaster Recovery

On Oct. 24, 2025, a presidential declaration made federal funding available for working capital loans to help with economy injury disaster enabling small businesses and non-profit’s to meet their financial obligations. The loan can be for up to $2 million, 30 year term, first repayment is after 12 months, no application fee. Call 1-800-659-2955 to apply.

Third  and fourth executive sessions with attorney Jacob Millenberg, no action

Culvert Permit – 2222 35th Street

Dustin Hall and Kenny Allen from Public Works addressed the commission, asking for approval to install it. Milburn moved to put it in. The motion passed unanimously.

 Jayhawk 240th Speed Limit

Milburn asked Hall and Allen their opinions. Beerbower confirmed that they were referring to 240th from Jayhawk to old Hwy 54. He said that constituents are asking him to leave it the way it is. Tran said the limit is as low as it is for a reason. Milburn suggested the commissioners take a drive out there before making a decision. They agreed.

The bridge at 110th and Fern is completed and awaiting a final inspection for a new load rating.

Resolution 38-25 providing in kind county facilities for the sixth judicial was approved. The annex is completed under budget and the sixth judicial will be moving over there.

Susan Walker – County Clerk

December 22nd meeting is canceled because Beerbower and Tran cannot make it.

Neither Beerbower nor Tran can make the last two meetings of December. This presents a problem because the necessary budget amendments to close out the fiscal year need to be published 10 days before their hearings, by law. Beerbower said he would try to adjust his schedule to make the Dec. 29 meeting.

October 2025 Financials

Clerk Susan Walker asked how they want to receive financials.

Part of her duties as the clerk is to do maps and road records, requiring a computer and software that her office shares with the Register of Deeds, as they both create maps in their offices.

Old Business

Sale of Real Property Resolution – Milburn-Kee

MIlburn read a resolution to establish a policy to sell property belonging to the county through a realtor.

She then moved to sign resolution 42-25. Motion carried.

New Business

Real Property Relief Application – Herman & Darlene Leihsing/Avis Bosley

Milburn had reviewed the application for 2453 Jayhawk Road in Fort Scott and moved they approve the application. It passed unanimously.

Resolution 42-25 – Transfer of Funds

Tran said he was good with transfers for Road and Bridge, EMS, and Law Enforcement. He was concerned about the inmate fund having enough to cover the sheriff’s needs until the end of the year if they pull the $200,000 that the resolution lists. $58,684 was the total needed to meet the county’s longevity pay. Tran and Beerbower discussed pulling $58,300, but not $200,000.

Tran moved to rescind his previous proposal to move the $200,000 from the inmate fund the to the general fund. Motion carried.

They asked the clerk to work on the figures and will deal with it in the next meeting.

Driver’s License Resolution – Milburn-Kee

The resolution does not replace the county’s contract with the drivers license division for provision of a facility. It moves the driver’s license office to Suite 10 in the courthouse building at the same rate as the rent they have been paying for their current location. Resolution was approved.

Areas of Responsibility Courthouse – Milburn-Kee

Milburn is working to craft a resolution describing how the courthouse space will be allocated to the various departments housed there.

Milburn announced that Wreaths Across America is this weekend, and they will start placing them on soldiers graves at the national cemetery on Saturday at 10am.

Commissioner Comments:

Samuel Tran: part of the confusion at the commissioners’ table is from the inability to listen more than talk. He asked the commissioners to take care to articulate what they mean so he can understand them.

This confusion is very frustrating when he gets conflicting information filled with emotions. “I don’t care about your feelings. I care about the facts,” he said.

David Beerbower: in an effort to communicate what has happened over the last week in the county, he read the definitions of “political gamesmanship” and “playground gamesmanship.” He said what happens behind the scenes is pretty close to playground gamesmanship. He expressed the desire to serve as a statesman, not a politician.

He expressed hope that the commission and county government members will work as a team in the new year.

County Commission Plans to Amend Solar Agreements, Seeks Way to Fund Longevity Pay for County Employees

The north wing, east side of the Bourbon County Courthouse.

Bourbon County Commission Chambers, 210 S National Ave.
Monday, December 01, 2025, 5:30 PM

Consent Agenda
Approval of 11.21.25 Accounts Payable (sent 11.21.25) $93,276.25

Approval of 11.26.25 Accounts Payable (sent 11.26.25) & Payroll (sent 11.25.25) $327,304.73

Commissioner Mika Milburn brought up a dispute with the cost of a new firewall for the sheriff’s department. Commissioner Samuel Tran said it was “mission creep,” that the commission hadn’t approved. Sheriff Bill Martin addressed the commission, saying that the quotes for new phones and a firewall were approved in the Sept. 25, 2025 meeting, to be paid for from the jail sales tax.

Commissioner David Beerbower moved to table the issue for a week to iron out the disputes as to when the approval was given.

There was also a dispute about which fund should pay for the mapping services needed to redistrict Bourbon County to 5 districts.

Beerbower said it needed to be paid for regardless of where it comes from.  Milburn said she wants to be sure the commissioners’ fund doesn’t get spent without the commission’s direct order. They decided to pay for it from the general government fund.

The remainder of the consent agenda was approved.

Emerson and Co. regarding longevity, insurance

Emerson, County Clerk Susan Walker, and Dr. Cohen addressed the commission.

Emerson addressed the need for the commission’s approval of a quote for COBRA administration, FSA, and HSA. The commission so voted.

Emerson also said that they need to address when the new insurance deduction amounts should be collected from the employees. Until now the process has been to collect them the month prior to their due date in order to have the funds on hand to pay at the beginning of the following month. However, with the new employee navigator integration, funds will not be collected in advance, and the start date of the deductions will be the first payroll in January. Manual deduction entries will need to be added in December, 2025. Emmerson recommended making the change.

Blue Cross Blue Shield requires the county to pay a month in advance, per County Clerk Susan Walker. She said that if they don’t do the deductions in the previous month, the county may not be able to pay for their premiums.  She said the county had already planned to manually enter everything by the cutoff date of Dec. 3.  She said this problem will come about each December.

She said that employee navigator doesn’t allow for automated employer contributions, so they have to be manually entered.

The clerk also said that they would have to change benefits availability to 30 days after first hire date for county employees. Tran and Cohen both said that is standard industry policy. Tran said he had no problem with that.

Emerson recommended finding out what the cash flow amount shortage would be. The clerk told the commission that the amount needed is approximately $8,800.

Milburn moved to follow Emerson’s recommendation. Tran seconded with a discussion.

Handbook — Dr. Cohen

Cohen brought his current copy of the handbook. He asked for the commissioners’ individual input, then plans to take it to the elected officials and department heads, receive their input and comments, and make changes, then bring a final document to the commission for approval by the first of the year.

Cohen also brought a recommendation to the commission to have them fund an administrative assistant position for the commission. That assistant would cover matters related to personnel, records, benefits, and more.

“It’s become abundantly clear that you need a person that’s accountable to you and you only,” he said. He also said that the funding for that position would come from existing funds currently allocated elsewhere.

Milburn said that up until 2025, the commission had that person in the position of county clerk.

Tran does not oppose the position but has concerns about how they would pay for the person.

Beerbower said funding is the number one issue as well. Cohen said he thought they could find the money and that the commission should approve the decision to fill the position contingent upon finding the funding.

The motion was passed to move forward with recruiting for the position, pending funding.

Tran said they should look at the inmate housing fund to pay insurance for employees and for the commission’s administrative assistant.

Beerbower said he was not willing to do that.

Longevity pay — Dr. Cohen

Cohen addressed bridging, which is when an employee leaves and then returns. He recommended not giving them longevity pay, per his recommendation. He said that if the bridged time is shorter, continuing longevity pay may be a good idea, so long as they return to their original position. He recommended that as a consequence for employees who leave and want to come back.

Beerbower, Milburn, and Tran agreed with Cohen. They agreed that if an employee leaves and is paid out, they cannot come back at the same level they left.

Victory Foronberry, from county corrections, asked about a problem with longevity pay. Tran and Beerbower spoke to her. One of the problems was that a funding stream they voted to use to cover it was contested.

Longevity pay approved by previous commission was put into each department’s budget, but most departments didnt have it in their budgets for this last paycheck.

Tran said they did what they thought was best at the time, but within 72 hours of the commission’s decision, the revenue source was contested.

Davis asked the commission to leave the longevity as is and pay it to the employees. He said that their decision to add a new position, although it is pending the ability to find funding for it, was a terrible decision and makes the entire commission look like they put county employees second.

Sheriff Bill Martin said he doesn’t know who would contest using the inmate housing revenue to pay the employees their longevity.

Another audience member asked the commission to use the inmate housing fund to pay employees what they were promised.

Janet Harper, who works in the appraiser’s office, said that the money sent out on that stub, which was not paid by the county, was her grandchildren’s Christmas.

Tran moved to pull the inmate housing fund and put it into the general fund. Milburn gave a second with discussion.

Sheriff Bill Martin said he came to the commission offering them a 60/40 split a couple of months ago, and they wouldn’t take it. Asking to take all of it is an insult to the sheriff’s office. He said they should only take out what it costs to meet longevity pay requirements.

Clerk Susan Walker said that her projections show that a lot of the inmate housing money will be needed for the sheriff’s budget amendment, and the commission should speak with his financial advisor before moving the money.

“Everytime we try to do something, we’re getting our legs chopped off,” said Tran.

Tran then amended the motion to pull $200,000 from the inmate housing fund. Motion carried with Beerbower voting against.

Tran proposed that they take $55,100 from the general fund to pay for the longevity pay.

Beerbower moved to leave 2025 longevity as it has been and make the changes in 2026.

“We didn’t create this mess. We’re trying to fix this mess,” said Tran.

The motion to pay longevity through the end of 2025 carried, Milburn opposing.

Sheriff Martin said that his 2025 budget was created by two other individuals without input from him. The outgoing commissioners at the time told him his budget was “screwed.”

He asked why Tran made the comment about him choosing to sue the commission. Tran replied that he knew Martin had been “done dirty,” in the past and he wanted to help him. However, Martin’s continuous referral to the requirement that the county give his department what it needs to function seemed like a threat of suing the commission.

Tran said that as an executor for the county, he will take care of the county, and give the Sheriff’s department what it needs, but maybe not what it wants.

Sheriff Martin said the conversation should have happened in his office one-on-one. He told Tran that they (the commission) are confusing everyone with the numbers game. He said he appreciated Tran’s honesty.

Tran and Martin each accused the other of not reaching out to communicate about their issues outside of an open meeting.

Lines of Communication – Susan Walker, county clerk

Walker told the commissioners she needs direction from them about how they intend to communicate with her.

“I’m having trouble getting responses, and it’s very difficult for me to do my job,” she said. “It is very hard for me to do my job as clerk if I cannot get a hold of you,” she said.

Walker said she can’t set up meetings if she can’t get a hold of anyone. She asked for clarification about expectations.

“For the most part, I think that communication works well, especially by the email,” said Beerbower.

Solar Litigation

Beerbower said that the commission has been in litigation with solar developers over agreements signed with the 2024 commission. They are working to find a solution outside of court via mediation.

Next week, the commission will be voting on resolutions to change the moratorium that will exempt these two companies from moving forward with their projects. They will also vote to amend the development agreement, including setbacks for battery systems and emergency training.

There have also been some settlements on pilot money that include settlements totaling about $320,000 per year paid to the county for the next ten years.

Counsel will send to the clerk the needed information for the resolutions, which will be voted on in the December 8th meeting.

Jackie Demott with the appraiser’s office spoke to the commission. She said that while folks have issues with solar, bringing businesses into Bourbon County will help solve the county’s funding issues.

“Maybe you need to start thinking about, not just what is best for each individual, but what is best for the county. What’s going to bring this revenue in?” she said. She suggested they form a committee to bring businesses into the county.

Planning Commission — Bob Johnson

County attorney Bob Johnson attended the new Planning Commission meeting before Thanksgiving. They discussed the procedure going forward, as well as hiring a part-time individual who has helped neighboring counties with their planning commissions.

District 3 Vacancy — Bob Johnson

The Kansas Secretary of State’s legal team has said the commission can either have the replacement for the District 3 come from the old district, or from the newly created District 3, which is preferable and makes more common sense, but either option passes statutory guidance.

The commission passed a resolution for the correct political party to appoint a commissioner for the new district 3 when current district 3 commissioner, Mika Milburn, becomes the commissioner for district 5 in January 2026. That commissioner will hold office until January 2027 with the person elected in November of 2026 is seated on the commission.
