The Lansing City Council on Sept. 25 adopted multiple ordinances: Ordinance 11‑40 to amend the city zoning map as recommended by the Lansing Planning Commission, Ordinance 11‑36 to adopt the 2025 edition of the Uniform Public Offense Code, Ordinance 11‑37 to adopt the 2025 Standard Traffic Ordinance and Ordinance 11‑38 to update municipal court fine, bond, fee and cost schedules.
Council members noted that the motion for Ordinance 11‑40 required clarification because the September 18 motion previously approved the planning commission recommendation but did not explicitly adopt the ordinance. At this meeting a motion was made and passed to adopt Ordinance 11‑40 to amend the Lansing zoning map as recommended by the Lansing Planning Commission.
Ordinance 11‑36 adopts the 2025 edition of the Uniform Public Offense Code published by the League of Kansas Municipalities, with changes as outlined in the ordinance. Ordinance 11‑37 adopts the 2025 Standard Traffic Ordinance, second edition, also published by the League of Kansas Municipalities, with the changes noted in the ordinance. The council approved both ordinances by roll call votes.
Ordinance 11‑38 updates the schedules of fines, bonds, fees and costs set by the municipal court judge. The staff noted that K.S.A. 12‑4305 requires the adoption of these schedules by ordinance to implement any changes; the council adopted Ordinance 11‑38 with no changes to the schedules.
Each ordinance passed on recorded roll call votes during the meeting; the record shows no amendments to the ordinances during the council discussion.
