There were no citizens present for the hearing.
Atchison County Clerk Susette Taylor presented the rates for approval. The commissioners approved the following 2021 levy rates:
• Atchison County General Revenue Fund, .4928.
• Atchison County Road & Bridge Fund, .4928
• Atchison County Solid Waste Landfill, .0000. (Due to prior voluntary rollbacks, that rate must be held at .0000 for 2021 as no additional funds are needed at this time for landfill operation.)

Gary and Sid Cooper were present to ask the commission if an old painting that was currently in the Atchison County Museum could be moved to the courthouse, repaired, and displayed. It is an oil painting that is believed to be of the early founding fathers of Atchison County. The building that served as the museum has been sold and this is a picture that should be preserved. The commission agreed to take the portrait and look into having it repaired. She also presented a drawing of the Atchison family crest, which will also be displayed in the courthouse.
Rhonda Wiley, E-911/Emergency Management Director, reported that she had sent a letter, a copy of the Atchison County Flood Plain Permit, and a flood plain permit to Larry and Patti Hecker on July 28 requesting them to sign for compliance with the Atchison County ordinance. The commission requested that she allow 30 days for a response before taking any further action.
There being no further business, the commission adjourned.
