Mayor authorized to pursue speed-limit ordinance and meet with housing authority on rezoning
Summary
Mayor Rhonda Taylor was authorized to work with the City Attorney on an ordinance to raise the city speed limit to 30 mph (except near the park) and to meet with the Coffey County Housing Authority about rezoning city-owned Neosho St lots from C-1 to R-2.
Mayor Rhonda Taylor told the council that the sheriff’s department indicated officers could write tickets in city limits for posted speeds and that the council should consider raising the posted limit to 30 mph except in areas around the park. The council asked City Attorney Philip Wright to draft an ordinance to pursue that change.
The council also voted 5-0 to authorize Mayor Taylor to meet with the Coffey County Housing Authority regarding rezoning city-owned lots on Neosho Street from C-1 to R-2 after adjacent land was rezoned and sold to the Housing Authority. No ordinance language or formal rezoning motion was recorded; the action authorized discussions only.
