Atchison County updates agenda and minutes page for public access
Residents can now track a proposed EMS sales tax and other county actions through Atchison County’s updated agendas-and-minutes page. The page links the agenda trail, minutes, and vote record.
A proposed sales tax to fund Atchison County EMS and the county commission’s other pending business now run through Atchison County’s updated agendas-and-minutes page, which was posted July 16. The page gives residents a direct way to see what commissioners will consider at the courthouse, then check what they actually approved.
Atchison County identifies the page in its Government section as the County Commissioner Agenda and Minutes resource, and that is where the public can look for meeting agendas, minutes, and related records. The county’s own commission video description also makes a key point for anyone following a vote: the video is not the official record of the meeting. Under K.S.A. 19-305, the county clerk is responsible for keeping the official record of proceedings, decisions, and resolutions, including each commissioner’s vote.
That record matters in Atchison County because commission business reaches into daily life. The issues on county agendas can include budgets, tax policy, road and bridge work, department operations, jail and public-safety matters, and long-term planning. Recent county notices have already pointed residents toward a proposed sales tax for Atchison County EMS, and a later meeting summary showed commissioners handling a KDOC Division of Adult Services first-quarter budget adjustment, grading and drainage work up to $15,000, abstracting for the 2026 tax sale, and an IT security upgrade of roughly $6,001.
The county’s paper trail shows how to use the page. A Jan. 7, 2025 commission minute says the board met in regular session at 10:00 a.m. at the Atchison County Courthouse, 423 N 5th St., Atchison, Kansas. That minute names Chairwoman Casey Quinn, Commissioner Allen Reavis, Commissioner Eric Noll, County Counselor Patrick Henderson, and Deputy Clerk Angela Griffin. A June 25, 2024 agenda also lists a regular meeting at the courthouse, 423 N 5th St., Atchison, Kansas 66002.
Atchison County’s 2025 budget lists James Campbell as District 1, Eric Noll as District 2, and Casey Quinn as District 3 on the Board of County Commissioners, with Mark Zeltner as finance director. The budget says the county mission is to show leadership in local government through excellent service and quality workforce, while respecting citizens, maintaining fiscal responsibility, demonstrating accountability, and fairly and equitably allocating resources.
The same online system also sits beside commission videos and other county records, including a May 5, 2026 video posted with 191 views and a description naming Susan Carrigan as Atchison County Clerk. For residents who want to know what county leaders are weighing before action is final, the agendas-and-minutes page is now the clearest path into that record.
