Shawnee County commissioners approve consent agenda and $2.19 million in vouchers, including culvert payment

Shawnee County commissioners approved their consent agenda and a voucher report that the county clerk said totaled $2,191,464.30 at the May 21 meeting.

County Clerk Lisa Schmidt told the board the largest single payment in the report was $174,255.48 to Bettis Asphalt Construction for a culvert replacement project on Southeast Bington Road over a tributary to Lynn Creek, paid from bridge project funds. "The significant payment out of that voucher report was a payment of $174,255.48 to Bettis Asphalt Construction that was for a culvert replacement project," Schmidt said.

Commissioner Bill Ripon moved to approve the consent agenda and related vouchers; Commissioner Kevin Cooker seconded. The motion carried unanimously.

The item was handled on the consent docket and required no further debate. The board proceeded to the rest of the agenda.
