County approves small tax refund and sets public meetings, schedules dust‑control work session

Crawford County commissioners handled routine business including a small tax‑roll correction, scheduling for public and work‑session meetings, and operational updates from public‑works staff.

Lisa presented a personal property tax‑roll correction for Timothy and Patricia Harrell asking for a $17.22 refund from the 2023 rolls because a 2005 Freightliner was not removed from personal property after a motor‑vehicle plate was issued; the commission authorized the correction and signed the required documents.

Commissioners discussed salt logistics and road‑crew workloads, with one commissioner noting room for three loads of salt and plans to check hauling options and whether existing contracts apply. They also noted a tractor delivery expected in three to four weeks and asked staff to obtain written pricing for a skid loader before proceeding.

Staff announced upcoming KDOT public meetings on U.S. Highway 69 at PSU Overman Student Center and Sacred Heart Catholic Church on Feb. 26–28 and set a work session on dust control for 09:45 one week out. Public hearings were listed for March to consider vacating platted alleys and streets in Cherokee and Crestview Subdivision; one or more commissioners may attend the KDOT meetings.

The commission adjourned after a final motion to close the meeting.

Ending: The tax refund will be processed and staff will finalize dust‑control logistics and meeting participation.
