The Ellis County Commission approved a resolution supporting Operation Green Light during its Tuesday meeting.
The campaign is a national initiative led by the National Association of Counties and the National Association of County Veteran Service Officers to honor U.S. veterans by illuminating public buildings in green from Nov. 4 to 11, the week before Veterans Day.
Northwest Kansas Homeland Security Appointment
The commission reappointed Communications Director Jeff Ridgway to serve as Ellis County’s representative on the Northwest Kansas Regional Homeland Security Council for the 2026–2028 term.
Ellis Coubty Library Board Appointments
The commission approved a charter resolution that would allow it to appoint one of its members each year to serve as the ex officio representative on the Ellis County Library Board instead of automatically assigning the chairperson.
A discussion of a Kansas State 911 Board mapping grant, which funds the indoor and outdoor geographic mapping of critical infrastructure, was postponed to a later meeting.
