NEW BUSINESS - RESOLUTION 2022-19: Designation of Brenda Kaiser, Human Resource Director, as Barton County’s KPERS Agent: -Matt Patzner, Director of Operations, provided details. The Kansas Public Employees Retirement (KPERS) Act of 1961 provides in K.S.A. 74-4902(6) for the designation of an agent for each participating employer through whom system transactions and communications are directed. In addition, this agent acts as a local contact for employees for retirement system information, transactions, forms and publications. The adopted Resolution names Brenda Kaiser, Human Resource Director, as the agent with the Director of Operations as an additional signer.
RESOLUTION 2022-20: Rescinding Resolution 2004-19, Fees for Issuing Kansas Driver’s Licenses, Adopted June 14, 2004: -Mr. Patzner provided details. In 2004, the Commission adopted a Resolution authoring a $3.00 fee, per the issuance of each driver’s license, to be accessed to the Kansas Department of Revenue, to offset housing the Driver’s Licensing Office at the Courthouse. As that agency is no longer housed in the building, the Resolution was rescinded.
