PURCHASING 11-24-03
The Board considered the possibility of allowing Internet auction as a method of disposal. Jackie Waggoner, Purchasing Agent, was present for the discussion. Waggoner explained that E-Surplus Auction was created exclusively for public agencies, private schools and universities as a comprehensive tool to dispose of surplus electronically. Jones made a motion to wave the Purchasing Policy to allow Internet auction as a method of disposal. Motion was seconded by McElhaney and carried unanimously.
PURCHASING & PUBLIC WORKS 11-24-03
The Board discussed bids received for the purchase of two (2) heavy duty tandem dump trucks, two (2) snow plows, and two (2) spreaders for the Public Works Department -- Operations Division. Jackie Waggoner, Purchasing Agent, explained that KCR International, Inc. provided the low bid for the equipment to be purchased and a high trade-in of $12,000 on the 1993 Ford dump truck. Rusty Eck Ford submitted the high trade-in of $7,000 on the 1988 Peterbuilt dump truck. Waggoner recommended that the county pursue E-Surplus Auction as the method of disposal for the two (2) trade-ins. McElhaney made a motion to accept the low bid received from KCR International Trucks, Inc. in the amount of $204,518 and authorize the utilization of E-Surplus Auction for disposal of the two (2) trade-ins. Motion was seconded by Jones and carried unanimously.
PURCHASING 11-24-03
The Board then discussed bids received for the County's fuel contract. Jackie Waggoner, Purchasing Agent, explained that due to unforseen changes to our current fuel contract, bids were recently solicited for a new fuel contract instead of renewing the current contract. Bids were received from Capital City Oil and Fuelman of Mid America with Capital City Oil providing the low bid. However, Capital City Oil has only one location which is a convenience issue for the Sheriff's Office and Youth Services. Capital City Oil has expressed a willingness to install above-ground fuel tanks at location(s) more convenient for their use. Issues to be considered would be zoning and security. McElhaney made a motion to accept the low bid received from Capital City Oil; Jones seconded and the motion carried unanimously.
YOUTH SERVICES & GRANTS 11-24-03
The Board discussed the FY 2005 7th Judicial District Juvenile Justice Authority Grant Application Summary. Pam Weigand, Director of Youth Services, was present for the discussion. Weigand explained that the Planning Team Executive Committee and Douglas County Youth Services staff completed the initial grant review process for the Advisory as they have in years past. The Executive Committee members participating were Bethany Daniels, District Attorney's Office; Judy Culley, The Shelter, Inc.; Ed Brunt, Lawrence Police Department; Trudy Rice, Kansas State Research and Extension Office; and Melissa Boisen. The Executive Committee members interviewed all of the applicant agencies in early November. The applicant agencies were notified of the Committee's preliminary funding recommendations and were advised of their ability to appeal to the Executive Committee. One request for appeal was received from Bert Nash Mental Health Center for the Working to Recognize Alternative Possibilities Program. Following the appeal hearing, it was the decision of the Executive Committee to make no adjustments to preliminary funding recommendations. The following table outlines the Board's recommendations:

RURAL WATER & PLANNING 11-24-03
The Board discussed the Petition for Attachment of Land to Rural Water District #4. John Nitcher, attorney, was present for the discussion. This item was previously discussed on April 16, 2003 and July 9, 2003 and postponed until action had been taken on the expansion of the Urban Growth Area. At its meeting on May 28, 2003, the Planning Commission forwarded the following formal comment on the proposed expansion with the recommended inclusion of the following conditions:
1. Undeveloped properties in the enlargement area and within the 3-mile planning boundaries of Lawrence, Eudora and Baldwin shall be platted before receiving new water meters or service lines from RWD #4;
2. RWD #4 waives their statutory right to compensation for infrastructure and meters located on lands within the island annexations and annexed by the City that meet all of the following conditions:
a. The lands are within the 3-mile planning boundary of an incorporated city of Douglas County;
b. Properties not provided water service by RWD #4 as of the date of the district service area adjustment; and
c. Meters and/or other infrastructure are not reusable by the City upon annexation.
3. RWD #4 will not waive compensation rights for any properties currently receiving service from RWD #4, regardless of the property's location within or outside the 3-mile planning boundary of any incorporated city; and
4. RWD #4 and the City will negotiate a fair market price for compensation to be paid to RWD #4 for meters and/or other infrastructure that is reusable by the City when upon annexation.
Johnson proposed that Condition 1 be stricken. Jones and McElhaney were in agreement. After discussion, Johnson made the motion to approve the Petition for Attachment of Lands to Rural Water District No. 4 subject to the following conditions:
1. RWD #4 waives their statutory right to compensation for infrastructure and meters located on lands within the island annexations and annexed by the City that meet all of the following conditions:
a. The lands are within the 3-mile planning boundary of an incorporated city of Douglas County;
b. Properties not provided water service by RWD #4 as of the date of the district service area adjustment; and
c. Meters and/or other infrastructure are not reusable by the City upon annexation.
2. RWD #4 will not waive compensation rights for any properties currently receiving service from RWD #4, regardless of the property's location within or outside the 3-mile planning boundary of any incorporated city; and
3. RWD #4 and the City will negotiate a fair market price for compensation to be paid to RWD #4 for meters and/or other infrastructure that is reusable by the City when upon annexation.
Motion was seconded by Jones and carried unanimously.
