Commission approves traffic, code and contract measures; consent items passed
Summary
The Goodland City Commission approved its consent agenda and passed a traffic resolution, two code ordinances and a professional services agreement to outsource large plan reviews; formal votes were unanimous or voice-approved and staff said related costs will be passed to applicants where applicable.
The Goodland City Commission approved its consent agenda and moved forward with a series of administrative and code items in its July meeting, including a stop-sign resolution, two annual code adoptions and a professional services agreement for plan review.
Commissioners approved the consent agenda (minutes and appropriation ordinances) by voice vote after no public comment. The commission then adopted Resolution 2026-12 to add a two-way stop at 16th Street and Wyoming, a change staff said was requested by the police department after safety concerns at that intersection.
The commission voted to adopt Ordinance 18-23 (the 2026 Standard Traffic Ordinance) and Ordinance 18-24 (the 2026 Uniform Public Offense Code). Police staff characterized most UPC changes as standard annual updates; the only highlighted substantive change was a 25-foot unlawful-approach buffer for first responders.
For capital-project permitting, commissioners approved a professional services agreement with an outside plan-review firm (referred in the packet as Safe Veil LLC / State Building LLC; staff also referenced SafeBuild) to serve as an as‑needed backup for large plan-review packages. City staff said plan-review costs for such third-party reviews will be billed to applicants rather than paid from the city budget.
No formal roll-call tallies with complete individual vote names are recorded in the packet beyond the voice approvals; minutes show motions, seconders and verbal approval. The commission adjourned at the end of reports.
What’s next: Staff will implement the contract for plan review as needed and follow through on state code adoption procedures; the stop-sign change will be handled by public works once ordinance paperwork is complete.
