Landfill: Board awards propane bid to Wanklyn; approves $46,125.86 crawler repair and $9,500 rental

Rhonda Carroll, Landfill Director, told the Board she solicited bids for 4,000 gallons of propane. Bids were: Hoover's Inc. at $1.44 per gallon, Sapp Brothers Petroleum at $1.43 per gallon, and Wanklyn Oil Co. Inc. at $1.399 per gallon. Commissioner Carlson moved to accept Wanklyn's bid and Commissioner Mayo seconded; the motion passed unanimously.

Carroll also presented a Foley Equipment repair estimate of $46,125.86 to fix the landfill crawler and a one‑month rental quote of $9,500 to cover operations while the unit is in the shop. The Board approved the repair and the one‑month rental by unanimous motion. Commissioners raised concerns about tractor tires stored in a shed and ongoing cleanup tied to Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE) violations; Carroll said mowing and trash pickup have improved appearances but work remains.
