(KNZA)-- A group of concerned citizens met with the Nemaha County Commission Monday to talk about the need for the continued services provided by the Seneca and Sabetha Nutrition Program.
Commissioner Dylan Keim explained the county is not wanting to make any changes to the Meals on Wheels Program, but are looking at trying to cut costs involved with the Congregate Meal Program, due to the fact the county is currently spending $15.20 per meal and serving more than 32,000 plus meals each year.
Those present suggested ways to keep the Congregate Meal Program active due to the socialization that it provides to the seniors in the community.
In other business, Rob Quellmalz, with Vanguard Renewables, and others came before commissioners to discuss the possible establishment of an anaerobic digester in Nemaha County, north of Baileyville.
The project would utilize food waste and manure to produce methane gas.
The company would like to have the commission sign off on the solid waste processing facility certification form to submit to the Kansas Department of Health and Environment, along with their permit application for the project.
The commission also accepted the resignation of Ron Heinen from the Goff Fire District #1 Board, and appointed Luke Sourk to replace him on the board.
