Emporia City Commissioners have a pair of jampacked agendas ahead of them for their upcoming action and study sessions Wednesday.
As part of their action agenda, commissioners may adopt commission strategic planning goals and an extension of a memorandum of understanding with Birds Rider Inc. for the city’s sidewalk scooter program. Commissioners will also consider four ordinances for the rezoning of property at 224 E. 6th Ave. and 1116 Constitution from high density residential to general commercial and 1104 Burns Street from low-density residential to medium-density residential.
A conditional use permit for a child care center at 1022 Grand Street, a rescheduling of commission meetings in June and July and a change order for the Sixth Ave. water main improvement project will also see consideration.
During its study session, commissioners will review a request to purchase the historic Carnegie Building before discussing an update to floodplain management regulations. HR policies, water demand, supply and rates evaluations and a KDOT grant for an airport runway extension will also be discussed.
The meetings will begin at 11 am inside the Municipal Courtroom at White Auditorium.
Following these meetings, commissioners will then convene with Lyon County Commissioners and the Regional Development Association of East Central Kansas for the entities’ annual joint meeting. That meeting is scheduled to begin at noon.
