Votes at a glance: appointments, payroll and routine county business approved Oct. 30
The Riley County Board of County Commissioners approved multiple routine and governance items during its Oct. 30 meeting. Short descriptions and outcomes follow; all actions were recorded in the meeting transcript by voice vote as "Aye" unless otherwise noted.

• Taxable corrections: Commissioners moved and approved the list of taxable corrections as presented. (Motion moved and seconded; voice approval recorded.)

• Payroll and accounts payable: The board moved, seconded and approved payroll and accounts payable for the presented period.

• Minutes: The commission approved the minutes of the Oct. 27 meeting.

• Appointment — Food & Farm representative: The commission approved a resolution and signed a letter appointing Tiffany Hopelt as the county representative to the Food & Farm body (transcript item presented and approved by voice).

• Lease — RCPD substation: County counselor Jacob Hansen presented a lease renewal for the Riley County Police Department substation noting a modest increase in rent. The board moved and seconded authorization for the chair to sign the lease as presented; the motion carried by voice vote.

• KAC voting delegate: The commission appointed Greg McKinley as the voting delegate for the Kansas Association of Counties 50th (KAC 50) event, with John Ford named first alternate and Catherine Fotis named second alternate; motion carried.

• Final plat and easements (Lakeside Heights Unit 8): The commission acknowledged the final plat and accepted easements and rights‑of‑way as shown (see separate article).

• Executive session follow‑up: After an attorney‑client executive session regarding pending litigation, the board stated the record should reflect that actions will be taken consistent with consensus reached in that session; no further details were provided in open session.

Notes on vote records: The meeting transcript reflects voice votes and procedural motions; specific roll‑call tallies or individual named votes were not recorded in the transcript for most items. Where a formal resolution or numbered item was cited in the transcript, the resolution number was recorded as read; in two places the transcript used the number "103025" for different items (juvenile facility authorization and a final‑plat acknowledgement). That inconsistency is noted in the clarification section below.
