The Montgomery County Commission will meet today with several items from Public Works on the agenda

County Public Works Director Brandon Beurskins will appear before the commission and present quarterly cash receipts from the department. Beurskins will also discuss an agreement with the Kansas Department of Transportation over reimbursement from the state for a detour on US-160. The agreement will cover additional maintenance expenditures by the county for County Roads 5700, 4400, and 5500 due to increased traffic caused by the detour. The amount of compensation from the state is set at no more than $148,000. There is also an executive session scheduled to allow commissioners to discuss confidential financial matters with County Administrator Jonathan Booe and County Attorney Melissa Johnson.

Today’s meeting begins at 9am in the Commission Room on the lower level of the Judicial Center in Independence. The public is invited to attend in person or to view the meeting online via the County’s website.
