The Labette County Commission approves a Neighborhood Revitalization Plan despite construction having already begun.

 

Previously, any project where construction had already begun the NRP was not approved. Commissioner Cole Proehl says there was some confusion between the property owner and the county, which he and Commissioner Vince Schibi believe was the county's fault.

 

The commission voted 2-1 to approve the NRP, with Commissioner Terry Weidert voting against it. All three commissioners agreed the NRP process is confusing. With a new NRP need for 2025, County Appraiser Melody Kikkert says it would be good to do a workshop to better understand it.

 

In other business, the commission held a hearing for the budget and revenue neutral rate with no one from the public speaking on either. They voted to exceed the revenue neutral rate and approved the budget for the coming year.
