County sides with appraiser in appeals
Franklin County Commission denied a Kentucky Fried Chicken tax appeal and limited Royal Manor’s appeal to one year. The action rebuked amended renderings for 1992 and beyond, citing perjury risks and potential workload increases for county offices. The panel also approved a $4,500 used printer and began talks on a broader tax system update.

Baldwin sees industrial park plan stalled for development guidance
Baldwin city council agreed to delay one action on an upcoming grading plan for the proposed industrial site near US-56 and East High Street until the Baldwin City Development Corp delivers recommendations. The plan should address access via a street with curbs drainage and pond work, to prevent runoff onto the street. In Paola, John Brown Lookout 28 acre tract near a hillside auction is split into residential lots, with $12,500 asking. Local historians seek partial purchase and have started John Brown Lookout Fund at the Miami County Historical Society. Baldwin High School heating improvements cost $126,400 after a $60,050 bid for labor, with existing $66,350 for five roof units, below the original $250,000 estimate.
