October 8, 2026 – Board of County Commissioners Meeting

At its October 8, 2026 meeting, the Johnson County Board of County Commissioners approved a contract increase for Waste Management, Inc. to remove and dispose of sludge, grit, screenings, and refuse from county wastewater facilities; the transcript does not state the increase amount. The Board also approved Resolution 26-035 authorizing construction-manager-at-risk collaborative delivery for the Douglas L. Smith Middle Basin wastewater treatment facility digester and solids improvements, estimated at $150–$200 million, and Resolution WD26-036 authorizing progressive design-build delivery for the Brush Creek Pump Station improvements, estimated at $12–$17 million. Both delivery-method resolutions passed unanimously; future design and construction contract awards and funding approvals are expected to return to the Board.

The Board approved RFP 2026-024 for federal representation by McAllister and Quinn at a cost not to exceed $150,000 annually, for one year with options for four additional one-year renewals. The selection followed a close competition, with price and an expanded grant-strategy scope cited in the recommendation; the motion passed with one dissenting vote. The Board also approved the 2027 Public Housing Authority annual plan for submission to HUD. Other updates covered housing vouchers, World Cup coordination, and communications; no additional procurement awards were identified in those reports.
