Bourbon County provides a service for those who wish to be in the know about the weekly commission meetings but do not wish to come in person due to the COVID-19 Pandemic.
A YouTube channel was set up by Shane Walker, the information technology director.
YouTube is a video-sharing website on the internet.
“The (Bourbon County) YouTube channel is for nothing more than to broadcast the commission meetings during the pandemic,” Walker said. “We have a small area for meetings. It made sense to set it up so that citizens could view meetings without risk.”
” We are working hard to keep people safe and still allow us to do business for everyone and this is just another part of that effort,” he said.
YouTube will not be used election night because the system had to be taken down so that the Bourbon County Clerk could use the commission room for voting and election duties, he said.
“All Bourbon County employees have access, and can edit our web page and also our Facebook page,” Walker said. “All of our department heads have this ability to put information out to the public.”
The unofficial November 3, 2020 General Election results will be posted on the county website that evening when they have them, according to Kendell Mason, Bourbon County Clerk.

TOPEKA – Kansas surpassed 1,000 Kansas deaths due to COVID-19. In honor of the lives lost and the families they left behind, Governor Laura Kelly has directed that flags be lowered to half-staff throughout the state effective immediately to sundown, Friday, October 30, 2020.
“It is with deep sadness that I announce the passing of 1,007 Kansans who lost their lives to COVID-19,” Governor Laura Kelly said. “One of the many terrible impacts of this virus has been that families are unable to hold in-person services to mourn the passing of their loved ones. Each one of these Kansans was someone’s child, parent, or grandparent. They were part of a community. Today, I’m directing that flags be lowered to half-staff, so that we may honor and remember them.”

The City of Bronson received grant funds to better serve its’ community safely during the COVID-19 Pandemic.
In mid-October, City Clerk Ellen Harper received a SPARK Grant in the amount of $1,200 for providing help to safely serve the town, located in western Bourbon County.
The Strengthening People and Revitalizing Kansas (SPARK) program is charged with leading Kansas forward in recovery from the far-reaching effects of COVID-19, according to its’ website.https://covid.ks.gov/spark-recovery-office/
SPARK Committees are distributing money from the U.S. Coronavirus Relief Fund.
The City of Bronson will use it to provide masks, sanitizers and cleaning products to mitigate the spread of the virus at city hall.
“We put a shield up in our office for when we interact with customers,” Harper said. “And we sanitize.”
In addition, the city is recommending wearing masks and social distancing as part of the plan.
“This is for employees, city council members, or anybody that comes in and wants to use it for council meetings,” Harper said.
As in the rest of America, the way meetings are organized, or if held at all, have changed.
Bronson has already cancelled its annual town-wide event, Bronson Day, because of the virus and will probably cancell the annual Christmas fundraiser as well, Harper said.
