Reno County explores assuming Harvey County childcare licensing

The Reno County Commission on Tuesday will be asked to consider a request from the state that the local health department take over child care licensing for facilities in Harvey County as well as Reno County. Reno County has operated a licensing and inspection program within the county, on behalf of the state, for years. Its purpose is to ensure the operational quality of licensed childcare facilities in the county, in addition to providing “education and recruitment for new childcare providers.” In early 2020 the Kansas Department of Health and Environment reached out to Reno County about absorbing the Harvey County CCL program, according to a memo in the county’s agenda packet.

‘We are going to see some evictions.’ Kansas ban shielding tenants, homeowners expires

As Kansas locked down to fight the coronavirus and tens of thousands of residents lost their jobs, they could still take comfort in a state-imposed pause on evictions and foreclosures tied to the pandemic. No longer. Last week, Gov. Laura Kelly allowed an executive order that had shielded renters and homeowners since March to expire. The governor didn’t publicly announce the change, but the order wasn’t included in a list of directives re-issued in recent days. Her office confirmed the expiration on Monday.

Extra caution needed on Kansas roads during harvest

It’s a busy time for farmers in Kansas with harvest underway and hay season in full swing. The Kansas Highway Patrol would like to remind motorists to use caution and patience when traveling around farm trucks, tractors, combines and other implements. “As the busy farming season is underway, each traveler in Kansas needs to be more aware of increased farm implement and truck traffic,” said Lieutenant Adam Winters, KHP Public Information Officer. “In Kansas, we have many trucks exiting and entering the roadways at any given time. Traveling around these vehicles requires extra caution.” Most farm equipment is not designed to travel at highway speeds and may only travel 15-25 mph. Farm equipment is often wider than the lane of traffic so extra room should be allowed when sharing the road. Caution should be practiced on all roads, but especially on busy rural roads with unmarked intersections.

Johnson County voters will decide future of liquor-by-the-drink rule in November

ohnson County voters in November will decide whether they want to end the last vestiges of the county’s dry liquor laws and allow businesses to sell alcoholic drinks without also having to sell food. The county commission unanimously voted to put a ballot question in the general election that will lift a three-decade restriction – a move much sought by the new micro-brewers who have begun to open around the county. Brewery owners have been on a campaign since last year to get the law changed that requires them to make at least 30% of their gross sales in food in order to also sell alcoholic drinks. They’ve said the food sales add a layer of difficulty to their small operations, and lifting the rule would even the playing field.
