The Reno County Commission held their meeting on Monday, December 23rd instead of their normal Wednesday because of the Christmas holiday. 

During the meeting, Don Brittain, Public Works Director, told the commission that a portion of 82nd Avenue had to be renamed. As part of a resolution, Brittain recommended that they rename the portion of 82nd Avenue to North Serviss Avenue, in honor of longtime Public Works employee David Serviss who passed away in August, 2024. 

Serviss' family members were at the meeting to accept a road sign showing the new name of North Serviss Avenue. 

This portion of 82nd Avenue is part of an agreement to take over maintenance of what used to be K-14 and K-96 from the intersection of Dean Road to the eastern city limits of Nickerson and from the western city limits of Nickerson to the Rice/Reno County Line. 

The next Reno County Commission meeting will be held at 9 a.m. on Wednesday, January 8, 2024, in the Veterans Room of the Reno County Courthouse
