UG Commission to meet tonight

The Unified Government Commission is scheduled to meet Thursday, Sept. 29, at City Hall, Commission Chambers, 701 N. 7th St., Kansas City, Kan.

Several planning and zoning items are on the 7 p.m. agenda.

The UG Commission also will meet at 5 p.m. tonight in the fifth floor conference room to discuss UG boards and commissions, followed by an Encode demonstration.

Among the items on the 7 p.m. agenda are new disciplinary rules involving UG employees who do not comply with the UG’s policy on concealed carry of weapons; changes to the UG’s block party permit policy; a change of zone for the Schlitterbahn East retail development at 1111 N. 98th St.; and renewal of a special use permit for a shelter to provide care for children in police protective custody, at 6031 Nogard Ave.

Also on the agenda is a special use permit for firearm sales, training facility and shopping destination for Frontier Justice Retail Center, 1700 N. 100th Ter., and a preliminary plan review for a small hospital facility at 10544 Parallel Parkway. The facility on Parallel would include eight inpatient beds, an emergency room, imaging suite and small warming kitchen. At the Planning Commission meeting earlier, the applicant declined to disclose whether it was affiliated with any hospital.

Several of the above items are listed on a consent agenda and will not necessarily be discussed at the meeting tonight.

Also at the Sept. 29 meeting, there is a public hearing scheduled for the Wyandotte County Library budget for 2017. According to UG officials at an earlier meeting, this hearing was required because of a clerical error. No changes were planned to the budget.
