The Shawnee
County Commission on Monday will consider initiating eminent domain to acquire
three lots the county needs for its project to replace the Willard Bridge.
The Topeka City Council won’t meet this coming week because that
body meets only on the first three Tuesdays of each month, and the coming week
brings the month’s fifth Tuesday.
County Commissioners Kevin Cook, Shelly Buhler and Bob Archer will
meet at 9 a.m. Monday in their chambers in Room B-11 of the Shawnee County
Courthouse, 200 S.E. 7th.
Commissioners will consider approving a resolution Cook sponsored
that would authorize county counselor Rich Eckert to initiate eminent domain
proceedings to take three lots necessary for the Willard Bridge project. The
lots are located on Wabaunsee Street in the city of Willard, according to the
resolution.
Government entities use eminent domain to acquire private property
for public use. Entities must provide just compensation to owners of properties
they condemn.
