A special meeting of the Unified Government Commission has been scheduled for 3:30 p.m. Tuesday, May 3, to discuss the posting of the county administrator position, according to a meeting notice from the clerk’s office.
Some UG commissioners have recently commented that the UG had not yet placed a job posting for a permanent UG administrator. Cheryl Harrison-Lee is currently the interim UG administrator.
Some commissioners have been stating that the interim UG administrator also has an economic development consulting job with the city of Kansas City, Missouri.
UG Commissioner Christian Ramirez posted April 21 on Facebook that “Wyandotte County residents deserve to have an Administrator who is going to devote their entire time to its growth and prosperity.”
He continued that he thought it was a conflict of interest for an administrator to be working for both of these cities, as she would be overseeing economic development projects in both cities. Ramirez called on the mayor to start a permanent search for a county administrator.
The hybrid format meeting at 3:30 p.m. Tuesday will be carried on UGTV cable television, on YouTube and on Zoom. It will be in the Commission Chambers at City Hall, 701 N. 7th St., Kansas City, Kansas.
The public may view the special session from the Commission Chambers on the lobby level at City Hall.
