The session will open with procedural formalities, including the Pledge of Allegiance, a moment of silence, and roll call, followed by a public comment period limited to two minutes per speaker. Trustees will then vote to approve minutes from seven previous meetings held between July 8 and Aug. 11, 2025.
Under new business, the board will formally accept the resignation of R. Meyers and proceed with appointing a replacement trustee to fill the vacancy. The new board member will join in time to participate in upcoming committee work.

The board will also consider issuing a Temporary Class “B” Picnic License for the Oct. 4 Iola Rural Fire & Ambulance Fall Festival, and waiving the standard $10 fee. Additional agenda items include approval of a Temporary Operator’s License for Todd Donald Snyder to serve at the event and a waiver of the associated licensing fee.
