ITEM #4 – CONSIDER A DEED TRANSFER FOR COUNTY OWNED PROPERTY

Will Johnson, Administrator, came before the Board for approval of transferring county owned property to the Kansas Department of Corrections. In the late 1980’s when the county and the City of El Dorado were competing for the location of a new state prison, both the city and county jointly purchased land owned East of El Dorado where the El Dorado Correctional facility is now located. Administrator Johnson stated that he has initiated communication with the Department of Corrections and the City of El Dorado of our intent to clean up the title work and remove the property from the County’s fixed asset list.

Norm Manley, Butler County Legal Counsel, prepared the necessary deed to effect the change.

The consensus of the Board was to table the transfer of county owned property located at the El Dorado Correctional facility to the State of Kansas through the actions of a Corporation Quitclaim Deed, until the Commissioners researched the transfer.

APPROVAL OF ADDS & ABATES

Commissioner Woydziak motioned to approve Adds & Abates #2212. Adds in the amount of $2,643.74 and Abates in the amount of $14,506.90. Commissioner Doll seconded the motion. Motion carried 5-0.

OTHER ITEMS OF BUSINESS

Administrator Johnson shared changes to the Decommission Security Agreement. Norm Manley, Butler County Legal Counsel, has approved the changes. The Board will approve the letter of credit and the escrow account at a later time.

It was determined that the Commissioners would like someone to take notes at the Commissioner’s Retreat on Monday, March 14, 2005 at Terredyne Country Club.

ADJOURNMENT
