Leavenworth County, Kansas Board of County Commissioners meeting, November 4, 2026 (the meeting metadata lists November 5). The board approved a $147,977 bid from Brunson Builders to replace the county shop roof, funded through the facilities improvement fund; staff reported receiving four qualified bids and recommended the lowest qualifying bid. The board also approved letters of support for the Guidance Center’s 5310 and 5311 transportation grants and Riverside Resources’ grant request; these were support letters, not grant awards. The board considered an amendment to the gravel and dust-control program, and approved directing the county administrator to draft countywide guidelines and recommend a policy for impact and community-benefit fees on large-scale developments, with representation from all county districts.

Public comments focused heavily on opposition to Project Blue Stem and proposed data centers, including concerns about electricity supply, water, infrastructure costs, and community impacts; no project approval or procurement decision on the data centers is recorded. The board also approved several rezoning requests, agreed to place the animal-control ordinance back on the agenda for November 18, and discussed concerns about the Kansas Association of Counties’ legislative agenda without taking a recorded action on dues. No vote or action was recorded on the election ballot shortage discussed during the meeting.
