# 09/14/2026 Riley County Commission Meeting

The Riley County Commission held a meeting on September 14, 2026, where several procurement and budget-related topics were discussed. Key procurement actions included approval of a purchasing card request for the Emergency Services Department to facilitate operational purchases, and the approval of a resolution ordering abatement of a public nuisance at a property, with an estimated cost of $4,500 to be assessed to the property owner if unpaid. Budget discussions covered the Riley County District Court's 2027 annual budget submission, year-to-date budget and expenditure reports highlighting personnel costs and inmate housing expenses, and motor vehicle transaction fees. The commission also discussed the possibility of increasing the motor vehicle transaction fee to address funding shortfalls, referencing recent state legislation allowing counties to set their own fees. Additionally, updates on various public works projects and capital improvements were provided, including bridge and road maintenance, playground equipment installation, and transfer station operations.
