Sarah Hinshaw, 4656 SW 70th St., El Dorado, Kansas, came before the Board and asked how
long the County has been having conversations about battery energy storage systems (BESS)
with Sunco International and if Sunco had leased land by the City of Benton; Commission Chair

(00:07:55)
ITEM #1 - RESOLUTION NO. 26-21 - BUTLER COUNTY COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
Toby Stewart, Community Development Director, came before the Board for approval to adopt
the Butler County Comprehensive Plan via Resolution PC 26-1. In 1968 and 1969, the Planning
Commission adopted parts one and two of a Comprehensive Plan, which outlined existing land
use, housing, population, economy, and planning elements. In 1999, the Planning Commission
prepared and adopted a new Comprehensive Plan, "Butler Vision 2020," which replaced the
1968 and 1969 documents. In 2002, the Planning Commission approved amendments to the 1999
Plan. Over time, it became evident that a new plan should be adopted to replace the current plan.
An agreement was made with Olsson Inc. in 2024, and the project was scheduled to be
completed in mid-May of 2026. On May 5th, 2026 the Planning Commission held a public
hearing and adopted the plan. The Planning Commission recommended the Board of County
Commissioners approve the plan. On May 26th the Board of County Commissioners tabled the
request so the Planning Commission could formally adopt a resolution. On June 2nd, 2026, the
Planning Commission adopted Resolution PC 26-1, a resolution adopting the Comprehensive
Plan and recommending approval and adoption to the Board of County Commissioners. The
adoption included an added goal to the plan, Goal 5.5, which is titled: Protect the Flint Hills

1

ecoregion from large-scale industrial and commercial projects.
Commissioner Herzet motioned to approve Resolution No. 26-21, a resolution approving the
Planning Commission's adoption of the Butler County Comprehensive Plan, Resolution PC
26-1. Commissioner Masterson seconded the motion. Motion carried 5-0.
(00:12:32)
ITEM #2 - CASE 25-CV-259 (CU 25-02) - JOURNAL ENTRY FINDING
Toby Stewart, Community Development Director, came before the Board to discuss the denial of
Case CU 25-02, an application for the conditional use of an event venue located at 6333 SW
Santa Fe Lake Rd., Augusta, Kansas. On May 5th, 2026, the Board reviewed the journal entry
regarding Planning Case, CU 25-02. The court ordered the matter be sent back to the Board of
County Commissioners for findings by the three members of the Board who voted to deny the
application. For review, Staff presented documentation, including transcripts of the original
meetings. At the May 5th, 2026, County Commission meeting the Board made a motion to
remand the case to the Planning Commission to review records and make findings as to why they
denied the case. On June 2nd, 2026, the Planning Commission made its findings.
Commission Chair Murphy read the reasons for denial and the three Commissioners,
Commission Chair Murphy, Commissioner Herzet and Commissioner Jackson, against the
conditional use application stood by and confirmed their decisions.
Terrence Huelskamp, County Counselor, stated he will draft a formal pleading to be filed with
the Court and present it to the Board for review at next week’s Commission meeting
Karen Reed, 28685 Greenwich Rd., Wichita, Kansas, came before the Board stating the reasons
she feels the conditional use permit (CUP) for the event center should be allowed. Mr.
Huelskamp stated the Board cannot discuss this issue due to the court case. Ms. Reed also
questioned the Board on battery energy storage systems leasing land in Butler County.
No action was taken.
Mr. Stewart informed the Board his staff heard about the lease yesterday afternoon for a possible
battery energy storage system but there has not been any permit applications. Meghan Wright,
2499 NW River Valley Rd., Towanda, Kansas, came before the Board with a copy of the land
deed and memorandum of the lease agreement.
(00:32:37)
ITEM #3 - RESOLUTION NO. 26-24, PLANNING AND ZONING FEE SCHEDULE
Toby Stewart, Community Development Director, came before the Board for approval of
Resolution No. 26-24, an updated Planning and Zoning Fee Schedule. The last fee schedule was
approved by the Board in 1997. The Board is the governing body to approve amendments to
administrative fees. The fee schedule presented raises some of the fees while specifically
breaking down some of the Conditional Use fees associated with large-scale commercial and
industrial projects. On June 2nd, 2026, Staff presented and reviewed the fee schedule with the
Planning Commission. The Planning Commission recommended that the Board of County

2

5

Commissioners approve the fee schedule and made no recommendation to change any of the fees
presented.
Commissioner Masterson states he is concerned with how the fee increases will affect smaller
businesses applying for CUP
Commissioner Herzet motioned to approve Resolution No. 26-24, a resolution updating and
amending the Planning and Zoning fee schedule. Commission Chair Murphy seconded the
motion. Motion carried 5-0.
(00:52:33)
ITEM #4 - EMS COT AND LOAD SYSTEM PURCHASE
Scott Stueven, Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Assistant Director, came before the Board
for approval to purchase two patient loading and cot systems for the new ambulances from
Stryker for a total cost of $124,524 and allow the EMS Director to sign all purchase documents.
Each EMS ambulance utilizes a power cot and loading system to safely move and secure patients
for transport during an emergency and have been in use for 12 years. The system has prevented
injuries to both patients and employees by providing a powered system for lifting and securing
the patient into the ambulance. Power cots and power load systems are the industry standard for
modern EMS operations. Through trial, staff can confirm that the useful life of these systems is
six years of service. The $124,524 includes a preventive maintenance agreement and three
employees who are trained to provide minor maintenance to ensure proper use and function. All
nine ambulances require a system. When EMS ordered two ambulances in 2024, staff opted to
not include these systems due to the manufacturer warranty starting upon purchase versus
waiting until closer to deliver, but did lock-in the reduced RMA cost, which is being
recommended by staff. The two bids from Stryker are as follows:

Commissioner Masterson motioned to approve the purchase of two patient loading and cot
systems for the new ambulances from Stryker in the amount of $124,524 and allow the EMS
Director to sign all purchase documents. Commissioner Woydziak seconded the motion.
Motion carried 5-0.
(00:58:27)
ITEM #5 - PUBLIC WORKS 2026 EQUIPMENT PURCHASES
Curtis Mader, Public Works Director, came before the Board for approval to solicit bids for
equipment and outright sell five items without replacement. Public Works develops and
maintains an equipment replacement plan for all of its divisions. This plan is used as a tool to
help budget for equipment replacement and is incorporated into the County’s current Capital
Improvement Plan (CIP) and adopted budgets. Equipment, however, is operated until it is ready
to be replaced. Several pieces of equipment are ready for replacement or purchase in 2026. The
Board was presented a list of equipment needing replaced.
Commissioner Masterson motioned to approve Public Works to solicit bids for the equipment
listed and outright sell the five items presented without replacement. Commissioner Herzet
seconded the motion. Motion carried 5-0.
(01:06:28)
ITEM #6 - MOTOR GRADER REPAIRS
Curtis Mader, Public Works Director, came before the Board for approval of a quote from
Murphy Tractor in the amount of $11,173.79 for motor grader repairs. Public Works delivered
the John Deere motor grader to Murphy Equipment for inspection and repair, where it was
determined that the differential head has failed and will need to be replaced. In addition, there is
a knocking noise in the motor that Murphy Equipment believes is related to a lifter requiring
adjustment. While the grader is in the shop, several 2,000-hour service items will also be
completed. Murphy Equipment provided an estimate of $10,940.95; however, this amount may
change if additional unforeseen issues are discovered during the repair process. The final invoice
for the repair and service of the John Deere motor grader is $11,173.79.
Commissioner Jackson motioned to approve the invoice for repairs performed by Murphy
Tractor in the amount not to exceed $12,000. Commissioner Woydziak seconded the motion.
Motion carried 5-0.
(01:20:34)
ITEM #7 - DEPUTY AND SPECIAL CORONER APPOINTMENTS
Will Johnson, County Administrator, came before the Board for approval of Resolution No. 2625 appointing Deputy Coroner and Special Coroners for the Thirteenth Judicial District of the
State of Kansas. The Board of County Commissioners of the County of Butler County, Kansas,
pursuant to K.S.A. 22a-226, is required to appoint a District Coroner as Butler County has the
largest population in a multiple-county Judicial District. The District Coroner, with the approval

Board of County Commissioners Agenda Item Report
Agenda Item No. 2
Submitted by: Frank Williams
Submitting Department: Emergency Medical Services
Meeting Date: June 16, 2026
SUBJECT
EMS Ambulance Replacement Bids
RECOMMENDATION
If agreeable, consider allowing the Butler County EMS staff to solicit Ambulance manufacturer bids as
proposed by staff
ATTACHMENTS
• 2026 Butler County Type II Specifications 1.0.docx
• 2026 Butler County Type III Specification 1.0.docx
• Vehicle Fleet Purchase Planning Outline 2026 (Stueven).docx
BACKGROUND
Each year, as part of the ongoing Capital Improvement Plan (CIP), the need to maintain the ambulance
fleet, which is critical to ensure safe and dependable 911 EMS response and patient care transport
vehicles in an emergency. Staff reviews mileage, miles traveled, age, total number of in-service and out
of service time, maintenance cost and fuel cost results in a recommendation as to when and which
ambulances to replace. The purchase is reviewed and approved in the annual CIP process.
ANALYSIS
The standard fleet of EMS ambulances is nine total; Six front-line and three reserve/spare ambulances.
The current ambulance fleet includes four box style (Type III - Ford E450) ambulances and five van
style (five Type II Ford Transits) ambulances. Our goal is to maintain a fleet of half Type II and half
Type III trucks. To maintain a safe and reliable fleet of ambulances based on the current data, the
average replacement timeline is recommended at one ambulance every eight months. The annual
average mileage for our trucks is about 30,000. With a replacement of life of about 5.5 years. Meaning
those trucks will hit between 150-170k miles in their lifetime. We have pushed our trucks well beyond
that, and maintenance has become very expensive. In order to manage these costs effectively and
dispose of trucks before they become significantly more expensive to maintain, we aim to implement a
more predictable replacement cadence. This approach will enable the fleet to systematically address
aging units while maintaining cost control. This year is a priority year because of the long wait times for
Type III (Box) production. Currently ordering a truck now would put our delivery out to mid to late
2029. Osage manufacturing has agreed to put us in the cue and have delivery of our box units in 2028.
This means that our current box trucks will gain a possible additional 60k miles before their delivery.
This is the importance of making sure we don’t get behind again. The estimated cost includes
replacing the power load and power cot system with each ambulance purchase this is due to limited
service life of about 6 years. EMS is requesting to order two (2) Type 3 ambulances and one Type II
ambulance, which would allow for delivery of one Type III truck in 2027 and two (2) Type III
ambulances in 2028. See attached bid specifications and long-term replacement plan for further details.

11

Another consideration is the addition of another Full-time ambulance in the future and this will put us
in a much better shape to ensure our fleet is ready to fill that role.
FINANCIAL CONSIDERATION
Approved in CIP for 2 ambulances purchased and 1 ambulance donation. EMS Reserve funds currently
exceed 1.5 million in unencumbered cash. These ambulances would be encumbered for delivery
estimated in 2027 and 2028.
LEGAL CONSIDERATION
Standard purchase contract
COMMISSIONER SIGNATURE REQUIRED
No
RECOMMENDED ACTION
I, ________________ move to approve/disapprove staff to request bids from Osage Manufacturing for
two Type III and one Type II ambulance.

Vehicle Fleet Purchase Planning Outline 2026–2036
Date: April 27, 2026

Current Fleet Overview
The existing fleet consists of 9 active vehicles with the following key statistics (as of 2026):




Total current mileage: 1,489,678 miles
Average years of service (YOS): 5.7 years
Projected 2026 average annual mileage per vehicle: 30,246 miles

Several vehicles are approaching replacement age/mileage thresholds (notably the 2017 models
with 9 YOS and mileage exceeding 240,000 miles). This plan maintains fleet reliability by
budgeting for steady replacement of vans and box trucks.

Planned Vehicle Purchases & Delivery Schedule
The table below outlines the budget-year order counts and expected delivery schedule for
Vans and Box Trucks over the next 10+ years.
This plan provides a consistent replacement cadence (approximately 1–2 vehicles per year per
type), allowing the fleet to address aging units while controlling costs.

*2026 Box Truck Deliveries include a special adjustment (marked with *).
Orders represent vehicles budgeted and placed in the given fiscal year.
Deliveries represent vehicles expected to arrive and enter service that year (may reflect
lead time from prior-year orders).

75

Year-by-Year Needs Summary
When we need Vans (steady, lower-volume replacement):




2026: 2 vans delivered (1 ordered)
2027: 1 van delivered (2 ordered) – peak order year for vans
2028–2036: 1 van delivered each year (1 ordered most years)

When we need Box Trucks (slightly higher and more variable volume):






2026: 2 box trucks delivered (2 ordered) – immediate high need
2027: 0 box trucks delivered (1 ordered)
2028: 2 box trucks delivered (1 ordered)
2030, 2034, 2035: 2 box trucks ordered each year (higher replacement cadence)
All other years: 1 box truck delivered/ordered

Overall 10-Year Totals (approx.):



Vans: ~12–13 ordered / delivered
Box Trucks: ~14–15 ordered / delivered

This balanced schedule ensures the fleet remains operational, minimizes downtime for highmileage units, and aligns with projected annual mileage usage. The plan can be adjusted annually
based on actual mileage, maintenance costs, or operational changes.
Recommendation: Review and approve the 2026 orders (1 Van + 2 Box Trucks) immediately to
stay on track with the 5.7-year average fleet age.

76

Vehicle Replacement Criteria Explanation
Here is a clear, detailed breakdown of the replacement criteria used for planning the fleet
purchases (based on the provided fleet data and the 10-year order/delivery schedule).

1. Primary Replacement Triggers (Used to Identify Vehicles Needing
Replacement)

trigger
(YOS)

Vehicles that hit both
Age + Mileage high YOS AND high
mileage get replaced
Combination
first

Rationale / Details from Your Data
Vehicles at 9 YOS (33G & 77G – both 2017
models) are highest priority. Average fleet YOS is
currently 5.7 years. The plan aims to keep the
average age from rising much higher.
High-usage vehicles (e.g., 03G, 70G, 93G)
accumulate miles faster and wear out sooner. 2026
projected average is 30,246 miles per vehicle.
Four vehicles already exceed or approach 200k
miles: • 77G: 251k • 03G: 250k • 33G: 240k • 70G:
184k (nearing threshold)
Classic “age AND usage” rule. The 2017 models (9
YOS + 240k–251k miles) are the most urgent.

2. Supporting / Secondary Factors




Maintenance & Reliability Trends — Older, high-mileage vans (especially 2017
models) have rising repair costs, which justifies proactive replacement.
Fleet Average Targets — Goal is to maintain ~5–6 years average age and control total
mileage exposure.
Operational Needs — Split between Vans (lighter duty, more frequent replacement) and
Box Trucks (heavier duty, slightly higher volume in some years).

3. How the Criteria Drive the 10-Year Purchase Plan




2026 is a priority year because multiple vehicles (especially the two 9-year-old units) are
at or past replacement thresholds → 2 Box Trucks + 2 Vans delivered.
Steady-state cadence (mostly 1 Van + 1–2 Box Trucks per year) prevents a large wave
of replacements later and keeps the fleet young.
Vans vs Box Trucks:
o Vans: More predictable 1-per-year replacement after 2027 (steady light-duty
needs).
o Box Trucks: Slightly higher volume in certain years (2026, 2028, 2030, 2034,
2035) — due to increase time of production and to maintain placement in line.

77

4. Prioritization Order for Upcoming Replacements (Inferred)
1.
2.
3.
4.

Immediate (2026): 77G & 33G (2017, 9 YOS, 240k+ miles)
Near-term (2026–2028): 03G (250k miles), 70G (184k miles, 6 YOS)
Mid-term: 65G, 86G, 93G (5 YOS but solid mileage)
Newer units (23G, 68G) will be monitored as they approach 7 YOS.

Summary of Replacement Philosophy






Proactive, mileage-and-age driven rather than “run to failure.”
Targets keeping the fleet under ~5–6 years average age.
Targets keeping the fleet between 150-175K total miles per truck.
Balances budget by spreading purchases (1–3 vehicles per year total).
Allows for flexibility: the plan can be adjusted annually based on actual maintenance
costs, unexpected failures, or changes in annual mileage.

Estimated Cost of Replacement
We are considering soul source purchasing due to recent events surrounding our last 2 vehicles purchased
from AEV/ARV.
Transit Van:
Unable to meet our design specs due to manufacturing limitations. Cabinet placement in the vehicle
decreased the size of the workspace making the vehicle uncomfortable for crews. They are working out
of it, but most of the crews do not like working in it.
Ford E450 Box:
Although beyond their control, a recall caused this vehicle to be delivered over 3 months late. Multiple
issues were found after delivery of the vehicle.





AC was found to have a leak and needed repaired.
Incorrect groundings were used under the vehicle, needing to be replaced.
Side Skirting was loose and needed repaired
Incorrect placement of the load system required the truck be taken back to Missouri to be
reinstalled and new flooring placed.

Board of County Commissioners Agenda Item Report
Agenda Item No. 3
Submitted by: Curtis Mader
Submitting Department: Public Works
Meeting Date: June 16, 2026
SUBJECT
Landfill Tires
RECOMMENDATION
Consider approving the Landfill policy to allow bulk tire loads to be accepted at $300/ton or the
individual tire rate. Also allow the landfill to ship out tires to a recycling facility.
ATTACHMENTS
• 2027 fees.doc
• 2026 Tire Recycling Analysis.pdf
BACKGROUND
Butler County has historically allowed tired to be dropped off at he landfill for a fee, we then cut the
tires, and added them to the landfill MSW site. Attached is the fees schedule for tires.
ANALYSIS
The landfill has observed negative impacts associated with the disposal of whole tires. These impacts
have been correlated with increased damage to scraper bars, scraper teeth, and wheel seals on the CAT
compactor; damage to the seals occurs when the scraper bar is not installed on the compactor, allowing
wire from the tires to become wrapped around the seal. It has also been reported that similar damage
occurred prior to 2024; however, repairs were often deferred because the damage would repeatedly
occur under the same operating conditions. Based on discussions with equipment operators, several
operational issues have been identified. Tires must be placed in shallow pits excavated by a dozer;
however, because tires do not compact, they act as a spring when buried. As equipment travels over
these areas, the tires tend to shift and resurface. Additionally, tires frequently become lodged between
the sheepsfoot drum and the scraper bar, resulting in excessive stress where either the scraper bar or the
teeth fail. Larger tires present further challenges, as they can become entangled around the compactor
drum or rim and must be manually cut off, increasing both downtime and labor requirements. Lastly, if
a fire breaks out at the landfill and tires catch on fire, they are extremely difficult to extinguish. In
discussions with the City of Salina, Harvey County, and Reno County, it was noted that these entities do
not accept tires for disposal in their landfills. Additionally, during a recent landfill design class attended
by operators and owners from across the country, no participants indicated that they dispose of whole
tires in their landfills. Some facilities do accept tires; however, they transport them to other locations for
recycling rather than landfilling them. A cost breakdown detailing these impacts is attached.

Board of County Commissioners Agenda Item Report
Agenda Item No. 4
Submitted by: Will Johnson
Submitting Department: Administration
Meeting Date: June 16, 2026
SUBJECT
Multiple Occupancy Private Space Policy in County Facilities
RECOMMENDATION
Consider approval of Resolution 26-31 establishing a Multiple-Occupancy Private Spaces policy for
Butler County.
ATTACHMENTS
• Multiple Occupancy Private Space Policy Resolution - clean.docx
• county_sb244_guidance_Whitesheet.pdf
BACKGROUND
During the 2026 Legislative Session the Legislature passed SB 244 (bathroom bill), which established
criteria for multiple-occupancy private spaces (bathrooms) in public facilities. The bill required public
entities to establish a policy prior to July 1, 2026 to require public entities to post and enforce
requirements for the allowance of individuals of one sex are only allowed in multiple-occupancy private
spaces (bathrooms) in a public building. Single-occupancy private spaces are not covered as only one
person at a time is allowed in them. The law requires public entities to identify the covered facilities,
confirm facility designations, review signage and establish a complaint review process.
ANALYSIS
Resolution 26-31 establishes a policy to conform with the requirements of SB 244 which required
adoption and implementation prior to July 1, 2026. The Policy defines out the spaces to be covered, the
designation of facilities, exceptions to the policy, reasonable steps to ensure compliance, complaint
reporting, review and investigation. The County will provide training on the policy to Department
Heads who will then be required to train their direct reports. Facilities management has already
reviewed signage for compliance but will now document on the forms included in the policy. A copy of
the implementation guidance from the Kansas Association of Counties is attached for further
information.

County Implementation Guidance | SB 244

County Implementation Guidance on SB 244
Multiple-Occupancy Private Spaces in County Buildings
This guidance adapts the Kansas Department of Administration white sheet for county government operations and
pairs it with the enacted text of House Substitute for Senate Bill 244. It is intended as an operational starting point for
counties, not as legal advice for any specific factual situation.

Core Requirement

Immediate County Need

Each multiple-occupancy private space in a county
public building must be designated for use only by
individuals of one sex. Single-occupancy private
spaces are not covered.

Each county should identify covered buildings,
assign a responsible official for each building,
confirm existing designations, and establish a
written notice / complaint response process.

1. Purpose and scope
This document is written for counties that own or lease buildings open to employees, elected officials,
contractors, detainees, program participants, or the public. It is designed to help counties organize a practical
response to the portions of SB 244 that apply to county buildings and county procedures.
This guidance does not attempt to answer every legal question. Counties should coordinate with their
county counselor or county attorney, human resources staff, sheriff, district court contacts where applicable,
and building managers before issuing final local direction.

2. Quick Implementation Checklist for Counties
1. Governance Authority - For counties, responsibilities under the act generally rest with the
governing body, or the board of county commissioners, unless those duties are delegated or
assigned to other county staff or elected or appointed officials.
2. Identify covered facilities – Review county-owned or leased buildings to identify multipleoccupancy restrooms, locker rooms, showers, or changing areas.
3. Confirm facility designations – Ensure multi-occupancy private spaces are designated for
either males or females consistent with SB 244.
4. Review signage – Verify signage clearly identifies the designated use of covered facilities.
5. Establish a complaint review process – Determine how the county will receive and review
complaints alleging violations.
6. Consult legal counsel if questions arise.

3. County-focused reading of the statute
Statutory term

County takeaway

Public building

A building owned or leased by a governmental entity. Counties should
inventory county-owned and county-leased buildings and then decide
which specific official or body will administer the law for each
building. The term “public building” does not include a building owned
by a county that was leased to a private entity prior to the effective
Kansas Association of Counties | Prepared for county operational planning | Page 1

94

County Implementation Guidance | SB 244

date of House Substitute for SB 244 on February 26, 2026.

Multiple-occupancy private space

A facility designed or designated for simultaneous use by more than
one person where a person may be in a state of undress in the
presence of another person. The statute lists restrooms, locker
rooms, changing rooms, and shower rooms as examples.

Single-occupancy private space

A facility for one person at a time, including a single-toilet restroom
with a locking door designated as unisex or a family restroom or
changing room. These spaces are not subject to the one-sex
designation requirement.

Sex / male / female

SB 244 incorporates the definitions in K.S.A. 77-207. Counties should
quote the statute directly if they include definitions in any local written
policy rather than paraphrasing more broadly than the law itself.

Reasonable steps

The law does not define this phrase. Counties should focus on
documented operational steps they can prove: signage, written
procedures, designation decisions, staff instruction, and prompt
response to written notices or complaints.

4. Exceptions to the Law
Individuals using multiple-occupancy private spaces shall use the room designated for use by that
individual's sex as defined by K.S.A. § 77-207, unless one of the following exceptions applies:
a. For custodial purposes;
b. For maintenance or inspection purposes;
c. To render medical or other emergency assistance;
d. To accompany and provide assistance to an individual who needs assistance using the
facility;
e. For law enforcement purposes;
f. To render assistance necessary in preventing a serious threat to proper order or safety;
g. To provide coaching or athletic training during athletic events, provided such individual is a
member of the coaching or athletic training staff and such individual ensures that no
individual of the opposite sex is in a state of undress prior to entering such multiple occupancy private
space;
h. A child who is under nine years of age may enter a multiple-occupancy private space
designated for use only by individuals of the opposite sex if accompanied by an individual
caring for such child.

5. Recommended county implementation steps
1. Identify all county buildings that are county-owned or county-leased and determine which of those
contain multiple-occupancy private spaces.
2. For each covered building, identify the responsible county decision-maker or administrator who will
receive notices, coordinate investigation, and document corrective action.

Kansas Association of Counties | Prepared for county operational planning | Page 2

95

County Implementation Guidance | SB 244

3. Confirm which existing restrooms, locker rooms, changing rooms, and shower rooms are already
designated male or female. Where signage is missing or unclear, correct it.
4. Identify any available single-occupancy private spaces, family restrooms, or similar spaces that may be
offered without changing the statute’s designation rule for multiple-occupancy spaces.
5. Adopt a short written local procedure covering: who receives written notice, who investigates individual
complaints, what records are kept, and how the county documents a cure if an issue is raised.
6. Coordinate with county human resources and legal counsel so that implementation is read consistently
with ADA obligations, workplace harassment rules, and existing safety protocols.

6. Complaint, investigation, and cure framework for counties
Topic

What the statute says

County operational recommendation

Entity notice

Before a person complains to the
Attorney General, the person
must first give the governmental
entity written notice describing
the violation. If the county does
not cure by the end of the third
business day after receipt, the
person may file with the Attorney
General.

Counties should designate one intake
point for notices and immediately log the
date and time received. A written sameday routing protocol matters because the
first deadline is only three business days.

Attorney General investigation

If a complaint is filed, the Attorney
General investigates and may
request supporting documents
and a statement on whether the
county has complied or intends to
comply.

Counties should keep a standard
response packet: building identification,
photos of signage, any adopted
procedure, and a dated summary of the
county’s corrective steps or compliance
position.

Cure period

If the Attorney General
determines action is warranted,
the office must give written notice
describing the violation, the
location, the proposed penalty,
and that the penalty may be
avoided by curing the violation
within 15 days after receipt.

Because the statute does not define cure,
counties should think of cure as prompt
corrective action tied to the identified
violation and documented in writing. That
could include correcting signage,
confirming the designation decision,
changing local procedures, or otherwise
eliminating the specific condition
identified by the notice.

Individual complaints

Upon receipt of a complaint that
an individual entered a covered
space in violation of the law, the
governing body or chief
administrative officer must
investigate and, if a violation is
found, provide written notice to
the individual with the
date/location, repeat-offense

Counties should adopt a short appeal
procedure now rather than waiting until
the first complaint. The statute requires
one, but does not provide the template.

Kansas Association of Counties | Prepared for county operational planning | Page 3

96

County Implementation Guidance | SB 244

warning, and administrative
appeal procedure.

Penalties

Governmental entities that fail to
comply with the act may be
subject to civil penalties of
$25,000 for a first violation and
$125,000 for each subsequent
violation. The act provides a 15day cure period after notice from
the Kansas Attorney General
before a civil penalty may be
assessed. If the violation
continues beyond that period,
each day may be treated as a
separate violation.

Counties should avoid improvisation.
Written procedures, timely intake, and
documented correction steps are the best
risk-management tools when the statute
leaves details open.

Separate penalties apply to
individuals. A second individual
violation may result in a $1,000
civil penalty, and a third or
subsequent violation may be
prosecuted as a class B
misdemeanor.

7. Practical notes for counties
•

•

•

•

Existing male/female signage: The state white sheet states that already-designated state spaces remain
designated consistent with SB 244. Counties may use the same practical approach, but should still verify
signage is present, legible, and assigned at each covered location.
Different county facilities: County courthouses, jails, health departments, parks buildings, public works
facilities, and administrative buildings may present different operational issues. Counties should avoid
assuming that one building protocol automatically fits every facility.
Independently elected officials and shared buildings: When multiple county offices share one building,
counties should decide in writing how notices, investigations, and responses will be coordinated so that
deadlines are not missed.
Facility alterations: The statute permits a county to establish single-occupancy private spaces, but it
does not require construction or remodeling. Counties should evaluate any proposed physical alteration
as a separate operational and fiscal decision.

8. Suggested sample language counties may adapt
County Implementation Statement. The county will designate each multiple-occupancy private space in
each county public building for use only by individuals of one sex, consistent with SB 244 and K.S.A. 77-207.
The county will maintain a written notice and complaint response process, identify a responsible official for
each covered building, and read this implementation statement consistently with applicable federal law,
Kansas Association of Counties | Prepared for county operational planning | Page 4

97

County Implementation Guidance | SB 244

including the Americans with Disabilities Act, and with existing workplace harassment and safety policies.

9. Suggested next steps for distribution
•
•
•

Issue this guidance with a short cover email to county commissioners, administrators,
counselors/attorneys, sheriffs, and facility managers.
Ask each county to identify a primary point of contact for SB 244 notices and questions.
Update this guidance after any Attorney General complaint protocol, formal state guidance, or court
decision clarifies the cure process or other unresolved terms.

10. Frequently Asked Questions
•

Does SB 244 require counties to build new restrooms?
No. The law does not require construction or renovation.

•

Are single-user restrooms allowed to remain gender neutral?
Yes.

•

Does the county need to monitor restroom use?
The statute requires reasonable measures but does not require monitoring.

•

What happens if a complaint is filed?
Counties may review the situation and document actions taken.
