The Public Building Commission of Johnson County adopted Resolution PBC-004-25 authorizing the issuance of revenue bonds in an amount not to exceed $5,110,000 to fund major asset repairs for county facilities.

Leslie Friedel, budget financial planning, said the authorization covers improvements to the Sunset Drive office building, the Sheriff’s Office Operation Center and the New Century Adult Detention Center. Friedel said the commission will enter a cooperation agreement to advance roughly $1,280,000 for the sheriff component until bonds can be issued and that staff expects the issuance process to proceed similarly to the previous authorization, with a likely sale next summer. Friedel also said the financing could be combined with a separate issue for library work and remaining funds for a health services building.

Commissioner Hanslick moved to approve Resolution PBC-004-25; Commissioner Allen Brand seconded. The clerk called the roll: Commissioner Fast — aye; Commissioner Myers — aye; Commissioner Brewer — aye; Commissioner Hanslick — aye; Commissioner Ashcraft — yes; Commissioner Allen Brand — aye; Chairman Kelly — aye. The motion passed with seven votes in favor and none against.

The commission recorded no amendments to the resolution during the meeting. Staff said the item had been contemplated in the county's 2026 major asset repair program and that the cooperation agreement is intended to advance funds for the sheriff component until the bond issuance.
