A significant contribution to Flint Hills Technical College gained approval from Lyon County Commissioners Thursday morning.
During their regular action meeting commissioners approved an appropriation of $72,650 to Flint Hills Technical College. The appropriation was requested during the previous budgeting cycle and was included in the 2023 fiscal year budget.
The allocation will fund the purchase of equipment for the college’s dental hygiene, information technology, multimedia design, network technology and health occupation technology programs.
In other business, commissioners approved a two-year, $7,112 renewal of IT support through Sonicwall for the Courthouse and Extension offices. Commissioners also approved a nearly $9,300 quote for what’s called a retro reflectometer and related accessories for the Highway Department. An emergency repair to a Courthouse chiller — with a price tag of over $17,000 — also gained unanimous approval.
Lyon County Commissioners will reconvene for their weekly action meeting next Thursday at 9 am inside of the Lyon County Courthouse Commission Chambers.
