(KNZA)--The Doniphan County Commission has approved a zoning change that will allow for the operation of an events center near Troy.
The Commission on Monday unanimously approved the zoning change request on behalf of Tara Turpin for property located at 926 Highway 7.
The Doniphan County Regional Planning Commission recommended approval of the zoning change from A-1 agriculture to A-1 conditional use.
In other business, proposals were opened from two consulting firms to assist the county with the employee health insurance bid process and human resources.
The Commission voted to contract with Professional Insurance Consultants to provide the services at a rate of $1,250 per month, subject to a review in 6-months.
County Emergency Management Coordinator Julie Meng informed the Commission she has been in contact with MGP Ingredients, of Atchison, to obtain hand sanitizer and is awaiting delivery of other personal protective equipment to be given to emergency service personnel in the county in an effort to combat the coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19).
Commissioners complimented and expressed their appreciation to the residents of Doniphan County for sacrifices made complying with Kansas Governor Laura Kelly and Doniphan County’s emergency orders to shelter in place in order to prevent the spread of the virus.
