The Montgomery County Department of Emergency Management has been approved to participate in the Kansas state emergency management performance grant, it was announced Monday at the county commission meeting. Assistant Emergency Manager Lee Miller says the county has participated in this program in prior years, and that all prerequisites have been met to continue this opportunity.

 

Miller says the program sends funds to each of the 50 states. Other topics on the meeting agenda were a presentation from Yerkes & Michels in Independence regarding tax and accounting information, as well as a Human Resources executive session with Director Becky Lewis.

 

The Montgomery County Commission meetings take place each Monday at 9 a.m. in the lower level of the Judicial Center in downtown Independence. The meetings are always open to the public, and also streamed live on Facebook and Zoom.
