Anonymity remains for Atchison Co concerns

(KAIR)--Anonymous feedback will remain in place as part of the newly revamped Atchison County website.

The decision follows a reassessment of the issue by County Commission Chair Casey Quinn and discussion regarding the matter at this week- meeting of the Atchison County Commission.

The revamped website came online earlier this month, complete with the ability to provide anonymous input for the County leaders. Quinn, following receipt of anonymous feedback that she initially deemed abuse of the platform “in an inappropriate manner,” had planned to push to see it removed.

However, Quinn Tuesday told her fellow Commissioners that input provided by her 3rd District constituents led to a change of mind.

2nd District Commissioner Eric Noll said that while he does not believe each submission should be read aloud during the Commission- public meeting, he does see it as a useful tool for receiving feedback.

1st District County Commissioner, Dr. Allen Reavis, spoke in opposition to keeping anonymity in place.

Following further discussion regarding the Citizen Anonymous Feedback Form, it was decided by Quinn and Noll, despite Reavis’ opposition, to keep the form in place, but make the change that only County Commissioners, and no other employees of the County, receive the forms.
The decision was made on consensus, with no vote needed to keep the form in place.
