The Ellis County Commission once again will consider purchasing a new fire truck for Company 6 in Ellis at Monday’s commission meeting.

Earlier this summer, the commission delayed a vote on the purchase and instructed Director of Fire and Emergency Management Darin Myers to reach out to the Kansas Forestry Service about purchasing a used truck.

According to information provided to the commission by Myers, the Kansas Forestry Service they do not have a truck that fits the department’s current needs.

In other business, the commission will consider a conditional use permit for a bed and breakfast on Munjor Road south of Ellis and a permit for a Midwest Energy Substation on Mount Pleasant Road south of Hays.

The commission will meet at 5 p.m. as the Public Building Commission with the regular meeting to follow at the County Administrative Center at 718 Main St.
