Two UG committees to meet tonight

Two Unified Government committees are scheduled to meet on Monday, Dec. 6.

The UG Public Works and Safety Committee will meet at 5 p.m. Dec. 6.

On the agenda is a resolution from the Kansas City, Kansas, Fire Department for a lease-purchase agreement for defibrillators, reusable sensors and case review subscriptions.

Also on the agenda is a quarterly update on the Fire Department.

The UG Administration and Human Services Committee meeting will follow the PWS Committee meeting.

On the agenda for the AHS Committee meeting:

  • A request to extend the moratorium on enforcement of pre-existing murals prohibited within certain zoning districts.
  • Considering making permanent the suspension of some sections of the code of ordinances concerning COVID-19 emergency ordinances. These sections have to do with sidewalk and street vending, farmers markets, mobile food vending, exterior sales in commercial districts, food trucks and others.
  • Amendments to the UG’s human resources policy on donated sick leave.
  • Consideration of a new UG policy on paid childbirth and parental leave.

One thought on “Two UG committees to meet tonight”

  1. “An amendment to the ordinance on a vehicle stipend for the mayor. The amendment provides for a monthly stipend for the mayor’s vehicle costs. Currently the ordinance provides for a UG car, fuel and maintenance for use while in office.”
    So if the mayor gets a free car, free fuel, and free maintenance, WHY does he need to get a stipend? For what? He already gets a salary of around $140,000 (?). That isn’t enough? Giving him a stipend just adds to cost of doing “business” which will no doubt SOMEWHERE raise taxes. I say this is a stupid idea.
