MOUND CITY — The Linn County Commission on Monday heard a report from Sheriff Barry Walker that his department is running out of space to store seized vehicles. There currently are five vehicles in the yard at the Sheriff’s Office, plus several at the landfill and in storage, Walker said. One pickup is costing the county $15 a day for storage, and that is eating up any potential profit from its seizure, the sheriff said. Walker said he was looking for a place to store the vehicles, and he estimated that, at any given time, his agency has three to 10 vehicles to store. He said he will study potential solutions and come back to the commissioners with a suggestion. The sheriff also asked commissioners what to do about an unpaid lodging bill of $104 for an inmate from Parker. A second notice has been sent, and the Sheriff’s Office still has not been paid. Commissioner Mike Page said he would check on the issue and get back with the sheriff. Walker reported that the county also houses prisoners from Linn Valley and La Cygne at times. In other business, the commissioners on Monday: Heard from Walker that he had submitted a medical bill and ambulance bill to Correct Care Solutions and the bill had been reduced from $829 to $300 and ambulance service from $500 to $107. Voted to allow Commission Chairman Herb Pemberton to sign a work agreement with B&R Environmental Services of Lenexa for $9,690 to clean the attic of the Linn County Courthouse. Work is expected to begin by the end of the week. Learned that the scales at the landfill would be delivered Monday and should have been operational Tuesday. Approved a conditional-use permit for Express Fuel to operate a gas station, convenience store and boat storage facility at the former Stat Stop near the intersection of U.S. Highway 69 and Kansas Highway 152. Approved the purchase of software for $4,280 and payment of a $973 per-year maintenance fee for handling the Centerville sewer system billing. The money will come from the zoning department budget. Authorized office manager Melinda Bolling to change county employee cellular service from Verizon to U.S. Cellular. Authorized Pemberton to sign an employee personnel policy regarding cell phones.
