The speaker said county staff have identified several sites for testing, that the sheriff’s office has assigned personnel to assist, and that the county emergency manager (referred to as Tommy in the record) may provide support during the testing.

The participant said the smoke test will help locate \"holes\" or other defects in the sewer system. The meeting record indicates staff will coordinate logistical support and field assistance when the state conducts the test; no date or formal interagency agreement was recorded during the session.

Separately, a commissioner praised county crews for recent asphalt paving in the Second District, noting work continued in extreme heat and that the resurfaced stretch “turned out nice.” The compliment was directed at county road crews; no contract or procurement action was discussed in the meeting record.

The meeting did not record formal direction to execute repairs following the smoke test; it recorded that staff and public-safety partners will assist the state-run inspection and report findings to the commission for potential follow-up.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Crawford County Live Meeting 08-08- 2025","oneSentenceSummary","County officials said state personnel will conduct a smoke test in a District 2 sewer area near Fourth Street; the county is coordinating assistance from the sheriff's department and the emergency manager.

The commission announced an Aug. 12 work session at 8:30 a.m. to discuss the budget and a Board of County Canvassers meeting at 9:30 a.m. on the same day to canvass ballots from the 2025 primary election, with the regular commission session to begin immediately afterward.

The commission also placed the county audit and other presentations on the August calendar. On Aug. 15, April Schwartz of Varney and Associates is scheduled to present the 2024 county audit. The meeting record also lists Leslie Lecamp of Mosaic and Bob Davis of “Flat Cell TD” to give a county meal presentation on Aug. 15. Separately, the Southeast Kansas Career and Technical Education Center will hold a ribbon-cutting at 3:30 p.m. Aug. 14 at 1301 E. 27th Terrace in Pittsburgh; the announcement noted one or more commissioners may attend.

In new-business remarks, a participant identified as Lisa flagged a regional Southeast Kansas official-district meeting set for Sept. 4 in Franklin County (Ottawa) beginning at 8:30 a.m.; she said commissioners should RSVP so the clerk can record attendance. Commission members discussed additional work sessions to finish budget drafts and set a timeline that would allow completion before the next round of commission meetings.

The announcements were presented as scheduled items; the record does not show votes, budget decisions, or changes to appropriations during the session. The meeting record indicates staff and commissioners will follow up with scheduled presenters and return to budget work sessions as needed.","County officials announced work sessions and public events in August: an Aug. 12 budget work session and canvass of primary ballots, an Aug. 14 ribbon-cutting, and an Aug. 15 audit presentation and meal presentation by outside consultants.",{"_33":87,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":88,"_41":89,"_43":90,"_45":91,"_46":92,"_48":93,"_50":94,"_52":95,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":96,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":97,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":67,"_71":72,"_73":72},6139785,"County schedules inspection of Womer Cole Center fire alarm uplink; survey set for donated parking lot",255,405000,660000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5580369-b813c8f16b6bd8e754b5117b191c1509&start=405&end=660","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5580369-b813c8f16b6bd8e754b5117b191c1509/thumbnail_405000.jpg","/articles/6139785/Crawford-County/Kansas/County-schedules-inspection-of-Womer-Cole-Center-fire-alarm-uplink-survey-set-for-donated-parking-lot","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6139785-2a4932fa634630b541d32524b8ab2d6c/orig.mp4?Expires=1771148717&Signature=K6abWDS4Ts5nJU4o4VPb6~LeuyklyepZs3DMt8SbOOB8zQQ0nWfmx~FDuh8nlkf3Un07bZT~UqudubQJowpTqfS7~hQwMUy8e19BTAIYsgD~tGR4BUsJ1cblI~H0LF1OMNBEPsnuqOJKCZPB28kJfsRWlBqEGF7TPfyDFYTWqcYQEmzmVXrJuxew36lDWI-ospzvOpfk5NTLxjZ06DNfM52uKcnhS3a8RReXaN7sFWlJca5YHy1j-wACQCDMfiowWOaSZIyJcKIh1S9drocgfa9nMmQPRYiyiovuPS-oJQH9QmYauWQd9QuGBy6UMYhbFGloEVPjefeOQHgGt6HzsQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","At a recent County Commission meeting, a meeting participant identified as Carl said he and another county staff member arranged for a vendor to inspect the Womer Cole Center’s fire alarm uplink to determine whether the existing “firebox” communicates with emergency services or needs replacement. Carl said the county will ask the vendor to confirm whether the system is an active communications link or requires a hardware replacement.

The matter arose during a general-business update. Carl said the county will contact a vendor similar to one the sheriff’s department uses, based in Pleasanton, to evaluate the device and report back. He referenced Terry Wright as the manager who described the current system’s behavior: according to the meeting record, Wright indicated the existing unit does not automatically contact the fire department or law enforcement when an alarm is triggered.

Carl also reported progress on a separate but related property matter: the county received donated land directly south of the Womer Cole Center that could be used to expand parking. He said the county will pay for a survey and the transfer process to accept the property. The donation extends to Joplin Street and down to the tree line near the parking area; Carl said the county will confirm exact boundaries before any work begins.

The inspection and the land transfer are separate tasks. The inspection is limited to determining the communication capability of the installed “firebox” and whether the county must replace or rewire it. The land transfer will proceed only after survey work and legal transfer steps are complete.

Next steps, as announced to the commission, are for the vendor to perform the uplink inspection and for county staff to complete the survey work and record the donation. The meeting record does not specify a timeline for the vendor report or the completion of the transfer.","County officials said a vendor will inspect a fire alarm \"firebox\" at the Womer Cole Center to determine whether the system communicates with emergency services and whether equipment must be replaced; the commission also plans a land survey and transfer for a donated parking area south of the building.","actionData","errors"]
