(KAIR)--The sale of the Atchison County-owned Atchison Senior Village is being considered.

That follows action of the Atchison County Commission last week, with the matter voted on following an executive session apparently focused on that issue.

According to the unofficial minutes of the meeting, the closed door session included all three County Commissioners, County Counselor Patrick Henderson, Atchison Senior Village Administrator Lindsey Wood, Former Atchison Senior Village Administrator Interim David Mercier, Human Resources Director Jodi Moore, and Finance Director Mark Zeltner.

Following the conclusion of the executive session, Commissioner Dr. Allen Reavis made the proposal that a broker firm be hired to assist in selling Atchison Senior Village to another health entity.

During the following discussion, Commissioner Casey Quinn, who serves as an ex-officio member of the Senior Village Advisory Board, said, according to the meeting- minutes, that the move would be in the best interest of the Senior Village residents and the County.

A unanimous vote was given to Reavis’ motion, and the County will now move forward with the broker firm search.

The Commission, last week, also appointed a new County Appraiser.

Selected for that role is Holley Hackathorn, whose appointment becomes effective July 24, and expiring July 24, 2025.

She is hired on an annual salary of $78,000.

The resolution appointing Hackathorn to the role was approved unanimously.
