A pair of groups in Wilson County will be receiving budget increases in 2024.

 

The Conservation District, led by Rod Vorhees and Pam Walker, was approved for a budget $25,000 from the County Commissioners, which the state will match. Also, Rural Fire was awarded $92,500 following a presentation from Jason Booth.

 

The commissioners were also asked for council on a permit application from the Kansas Deparment of Health and Environment, which the commission determined was favorable.

 

Additional items of business at this week's County Commission meeting was a presentation from Cheri Nelson regarding National Pollinators Week, and the work being done to educate youth participants. The meeting concluded with the commissioners going into executive session regarding non-elected personnel.
