CANEY, Kan. — City staff used the March 3 council meeting to update members on infrastructure and public-safety items, including meter installations, pothole repairs and a proposed Verizon cell tower.
Mayor Joshua Elliott reported that meter installs are underway and potholes have been filled. Police Chief Ike Dye raised concerns about truck routes and road signage, noting the city would work with KDOT on signage, and mentioned a radio scramblers grant routed through the county Sheriff’s Office. City Administrator Andrea Sibley provided an update to the council about Verizon cell-tower planning; no final decision or permit was recorded in the excerpt. City Clerk Wendy Wickham announced a workshop to review Ordinance Chapter 15 (Utilities) and Chapter 14 (Traffic) after the March 17 meeting.
Public Works Andy Long was noted as not available to give a report during the meeting. Councilmembers asked that traffic-speed changes (Highway to High Street) and ATV/UTV complaints be added to the workshop agenda.
The staff updates were informational; any regulatory or permitting steps for the Verizon tower or traffic changes would require future agenda items and formal council action.
