Writ to be filed in road dispute between Labette, Neosho counties
OSWEGO — A dispute with Neosho County over road maintenance will be heading toward legal action.
After a closed session between Labette County commissioners and Labette County Counselor Brian Johnson on Monday, commissioners voted that Johnson should file a writ of mandamus against Neosho County.
The two counties share the maintenance of most of a shared border road, 27000 Road on the Labette County side and 10th Road on the Neosho County side.
The writ of mandamus is a court order compelling a government or agency to perform a mandatory duty.
Further information was not available.
See WRIT, Page 3.
The commission also approved a resolution for a conditional use permit to allow the construction of a 415 foot communications tower at the southwest corner of 13000 and Lyon roads. The tower will have a 10-foot lightning rod at the top, making the total height 425 feet. The action followed a public hearing.
The land is zoned A1 agricultural and the permit was required by the county’s zoning regulations.
