(KNZA)--Waste Management plans to stop operating the Doniphan County transfer station, effective October 31, 2024.

According to the unofficial meeting minutes, the Doniphan County Commission received a letter from the company at their meeting Monday informing them of their decision not to renew their agreement with the county.

County Clerk Peggy Franken told commissioners she has arranged for Mike Hey, area manager of disposal operations for Waste Management, to attend their May 1st meeting. In addition, she has also asked Northeast Kansas Environmental Services Office Manager Martha Smith to attend.

In other business, County Aging Department Director Diana Crouse-Johnson informed the commission of a water main break at the Highland Senior Center.

She presented a bid for repair of the line and another for replacement of the entire line.

The Commission voted to accept a bid from Engemann Drainage, of Troy, for replacement of the line from the meter to the building at a cost of $1,598.

And on the recommendation of Crouse-Johnson, the commission approved the hiring of Rebecque Turner to serve as the site director of the Wathena senior citizens center on a part-time basis. Turner began work Thursday at a salary of $15 an hour.
