But St. Joseph was in the process of selling the school building when the bonding was awarded. Now local lawmakers are seeking a change in the law. I can t fault them for that, said Sen. Jeff Howe, R-Rockville, of St. Joseph s building sale. You ve got to make the decisions the best you can at the time you re making them.
Bonding is never a sure thing, Howe said. And the 2020 bonding bill wasn t passed until October during the Legislature s fifth special session of the year.
Howe authored a bill to change the bonding provision for St. Joseph. He said it s been folded into a larger technical corrections bill.
Applications are being accepted for the Leavenworth County Planning Commission.
The terms of four members of the Planning Commission are set to expire at the end of June.
Krystal Voth, director of the Leavenworth County Planning and Zoning Department, said the members whose terms are expiring can reapply for the positions. But other county residents can apply for the positions as well.
The Planning Commission makes recommendations to the Board of County Commissioners regarding changes to zoning regulations as well as things such as applications for preliminary and final plats.
The Planning Commission also acts as the county’s Board of Zoning Appeals.
