Fifth Judicial District Judge W. Lee Fowler has decided to appoint former former 8th Judicial District Chief Judge Michael Powers to serve as a Special Master in the case involving the Junction City - Geary County dispute over EMS Service costs. Right now the two sides are about $150,000 apart on the amount of money the County should pay for 2024.
Junction City Attorney Britain Stites noted that there will be a 60-day Discovery period, and Powers has authority to resolve Discovery disputes.
The City has been seeking $1.8 million while the County has suggested $1,650,000.
