Minutes for SB53 - Committee on Local Government
Short Title
Establishing the membership of the Sedgwick county charter commission which, if created, will review and recommend changes regarding the structure of county government.
Minutes Content for Tue, Jan 26, 2021
Commissioner Lacey Cruse testified on behalf of The Board of County Commissioners in Sedgwick County in support of SB 53. Ms. Cruse summarized the bill's purpose as to establish a charter commission and correct a gap inadvertently left open by the Kansas legislature when it granted Sedgwick County urban status during 2018. The current law forces the Sedgwick charter commission to only have Johnson County members instead of Sedgwick County members and stakeholders.
Commissioner Lacey Cruse responded to questions from committee members. (Attachment 3)
There being no further questions or conferees, Chairperson McGinn adjourned the meeting at 10:28AM. The next meeting is scheduled for Thursday, January 28 at 9:30AM.
