Leave a comment

June 20, 2022 Tuesday 9:00 am
The Bourbon County Commission met in open session with two Commissioners (JimHarris and Lynne Oharah) and the County Clerk present.
Anne Dare, Clint Walker, Deb Lust, Mandy Shoemaker, Ronnie Brown, Jared Pollock,
Marvin Lewis, Donald Coffman, Nelson Blythe, Matt Crystal, Jason Silvers, Susan Bancroft and Matt Quick were present for some or all of the meeting.
Lynne Oharah made a motion to approve the previous meeting minutes. Jim Harris
seconded. Both approved.


Eric Bailey stated Samuel Boez from Kansas Dept of Health and Environment will be here today to inspect our closed MSW landfill. Eric sent an email last Wednesday regarding the soybean permit. He continued that he received an email from them
stating “I just found out yesterday that the permit application is now through internal concurrence and I’m preparing it for the public notice. The public notice will be from June 30 through July 29.” We are moving forward with that.

Our Local Road Safety Program has scheduled a safety workshop here July 19th from 1pm – 5pm. We haven’t
actually decided on a location yet but they will have drawings, pictures, maps to show their recommendations from doing the study. We’ll let you know when a location has
been determined. We are asphalting in Hiatville starting today. We are waiting on distributor truck it has a seal out of pump. Part should be here today. Jed Kello will
be bringing the milling machine in on Friday. We will be milling Yale Road from 65th to the west entrance of the lake. Had a tree go down on Zinc and 245th and it was full of honey bees. Thanked the individual who tried to help us with their tractor.


Sink hole on 200th and Railroad tracks; it’s a concrete culvert the outlet side is blocked. Made contact with BNSF yesterday and they will be here Thursday and will dig it up and replace it. We temperaried the hole for the time being so the road
could be opened up. Culvert crews are working on 215th getting ready for asphalt.


We are scheduling a blast for Blake; the overburden has been removed for this area.
With the new crusher may be able to run quite a bit of material that was left over before from being too big. We may not do as large a blast as originally planned. We completed phase 1 of training for crusher last week. They will have us run it for a
month or two and take us to Nashville to the factory to train on-site there. We got a call last week that the 2007 F750 came available from Premier in KC. We went and looked at it; it has a cat c7 motor 28,000 actual miles. We went ahead and spoke for it. Has a little rust in the bed but we can plate that and be money ahead. Covid is
back and are battling with that a little bit. Lynne complimented the job done on 145th. Eric stated that he was contacted by the Court System on Community Service and was asking Justin about a liability release form. Justin stated the waivers aren’t
bullet proof. If someone gets hurt we could still be sued. Jim and Lynne both approved. Justin stated that we need to focus on the 9 trestle bridges. We have one near Yellowstone that is a problem. Another one in Commissioner Beth’s district that
isn’t used anymore. With your permission we will take pictures of them and sell them or give away. Lynne made a motion to give Justin permission to sell or give away the 9 trestle bridges. Jim seconded. Both approved.
Jarod Pollock, Chairman of Soil Conservation District, presented 2023 budget up; appreciate anything given by the county. We are requesting additional 8.5% from 2022 due to inflation. We have conservation day at Gunn Park; we have to push outreach. A lot of our dollars are spent on outreach to get our message out. We are
very involved in the fair. We held a local work group in Bronson this year to get some information from landowners on research concerns. The last meeting we had a flyer sent out that NRCS is working with ADM on some grants for cover crops which are
gaining some traction. Ronnie Brown thanked Mandy for her work. Ronnie said that times are uncertain and request for funds may change drastically in the future.
Jarod, again, thanked Mandy and stated these funds help get her to training and meetings she needs. Deb Lust stated that we need to get the youth involved as early as possible. We involve them in as many activities as possible. We have to have our
youth come back and be engaged in agriculture. There are a lot of programs for new farmers that available.


Jim made a motion for executive session KSA 75-4319(b)(2) for consultation with an attorney for the public body or agency which would be deemed privileged in the attorney-client relationship for 7 minutes including 2 commissioners, Justin Meeks and
Susan Bancroft returning at 9:43am. Lynne seconded. Both approved. Jim made a motion to return to normal session at 9:45am with no action. Lynne seconded. Both approved. Jim made a motion to go back into executive session KSA 75-4319(b)(2) for

Shane Walker – CIO: Not present
Public Comment: Anne Dare asked what property referred to regarding CHC. Justin stated we can’t disclose, but there is land at the hospital campus that CHC owns and we’re trying to get it back into county name to move forward with other options.
Anne thanked the commissioners for conducting the meetings with order, with respect; there are tough subjects that you tackle, not every meeting but a lot o fmeetings and you work really hard to communicate to the public and let us communicate. I wish there were other entities in town that felt that it was as important as you all do. Ashley thanked Anne Dare and Carol MacArthur for helping
with election material destruction last week.
Lynne made a motion for executive session KSA 75-4319(b)(4) to discuss data relating to financial affairs or trade secrets of corporations, partnerships, trust, and individual

Bourbon County Commissioner Lynne Oharah Resigns

Leave a comment
Lynne Oharah
Lynne Oharah resigned  from the Bourbon County Commission as the District 1 Commissioner on July 13, 2022.
“I served seven and one-half years as commissioner,” Oharah said. “I enjoyed being a commissioner and I feel we did a lot of good things. I want to thank all of my constituents for putting up with me…and I sincerely wish Bourbon County the best of luck in the future.”
The resignation came about because the commission could not find a person to fill the position of Bourbon County Medical Facility Director at the former Mercy Hospital building which the county now owns, Oharah said, so he applied. The facility now houses Community Health Center of Southeast Kansas Clinic and Ascension Via Christi Emergency Department, I Am Rehab and a beauty salon.
Oharah started as the new director on July 13, 2022.
“The reason I resigned was that we could not find anyone to fill the Bourbon County Medical Facility Director position,” he said. “Some of my background was managing central offices, telephone switching offices in Western Kansas, for 10 years. Larger offices in places like Dodge, Garden City, Scott City and Liberal. The medical facility is the same concept, just more regulations, so it’s a good fit.”
The facility is 177,00 square feet and there are two other employees who work to keep the building maintained.
The Community Health Center of Southeast Kansas Clinic, 401 Woodland Hills, just off Hwy. 69 south of Fort Scott.
Ascension Via Christi operates the emergency department at the former Mercy Hospital building.
The Bourbon County Republican Committee will meet on  Thursday, August  4 from 6 to 8 p,m.  at the Empress center, 7 N. Main St. to decide on a new county commissioner.
“Voting is by committee members, one man and one woman from from the 18 different precincts,” Mark McCoy, chairman, said. “We will select one person that night and send to the governor’s office for approval. To be eligible the candidate must reside in the first commission district and be a member of the Republican Party.”
The first district is north and west of Fort Scott to the Allen and Linn County lines.

Bourbon County Eco Devo Looks at Housing Issues

Bourbon County REDI Conducts Housing Study

The third step in a three-part process to look at how Bourbon County can improve its local economy is about to get underway.

The entire process has been led by the team from Bourbon County Regional Economic Development Incorporated (“REDI”) and has already looked at the workforce and retail industry in the area. Now, the REDI team, with the help of Goldstone Consulting Group is conducting a housing study.

“Housing is a key factor in helping our community thrive,” said Robert Harrington, President of Bourbon County REDI. “Housing is a major driver of economic growth, generating higher property values, which in turn allows for more services and support for the community on many levels.”

The Community Housing Needs Assessment done by Goldstone Consulting Group will look at the various types of housing in the community. “Our team looks at the demand for housing across all spectrums in a community,” says Traci Anderson, Manager of Consulting Services for Goldstone. “Without good housing choices in a community, it can be a challenge to increase economic opportunity.”

Bourbon County residents have an opportunity to provide input in the housing needs assessment. An online survey is now available for residents to provide information regarding their current and future housing needs. “No personal information will be collected that can be used to identify residents,” said Harrington. “This information will benefit us in planning the future of Bourbon County.”

Residents can access the survey at: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/BourbonCoHousing

Data from the survey, along with the sources, will be compiled to determine future trends and needs in the community. “When completed, the assessment will be shared with developers, builders, realtors, and the general public,” said Harrington. “The final report will be used to guide new and renovated housing developments in Bourbon County.”

Landmark Bank Fort Scott houses the office of Bourbon County Regional Economic Development Inc. and is located at 200 S. Main Street, Fort Scott.

Kort Stock looks at the chickens in the poultry section of the Bourbon County Fair on Monday evening.

The Bourbon County Fair runs until July 22 at the fairgrounds on South Horton Street in Fort Scott.

The 4-H Building was quiet on Monday evening, but entries had been judged and many young people went home with a ribbon for their entries in a variety of departments.

Meanwhile, animals were being weighed in the Show Pavilion on the fairgrounds.

Carson Wunderly and her dad, Fred, line up a cow to be weighed on the first night of the Bourbon County Fair.

The community is encouraged to come to see the results of the work that 4-H Club youth have completed for the year.

“I know it’s going to be warm, but I hope everyone comes out to support the kids,” Mark Crystal, vice president of the Bourbon County Fair Board, said. “There are a lot of nice looking animals, and they have put a lot of work into getting the animals ready for judging.”

In addition to animals, produce, crafts, and other departments can be viewed for both 4-H youth and community members.

Temperatures are forecast to be over 100 degrees for the next week.

“It wouldn’t be the Bourbon County Fair if is wasn’t the hottest days of the year,” he said.

Rachel Martin, who has two daughters in 4-H, Juley and Katie, puts up a fan in the cattle area at the Bourbon County Fair.

Animal owners keep fans on them and provide water to keep the animals from overheating.

New this year is the Chicken Mary’s Dinner that will be served by the Fort Scott Future Farmers of America Organization.

“It’s $9 for a chicken dinner on Thursday night, July 21, at the Huebenet Pavilion,” he said. Chicken Mary’s is located in Yale, near Pittsburg and is well known for its’ chicken meals.

Also new this year is a circus for the community on Thursday, which will be set up in the grandstand arena, he said.

The King Ryder Circus will be from 5:30 to 9:30 p.m. and includes jugglers, daredevils on motorcycles and a clown, according their information on Facebook. Cost is $5 to $15.

“They called and wanted to know if they could come,” Crystal said.

Dakota Foulk won the 4-H Woodworking Top Exhibit and also the Woodworking Overall Champion.
