Two Unified Government committees are scheduled to meet, starting at 5 p.m. tonight.

The Public Works and Safety Committee meets at 5 p.m. Monday, March 22. On the agenda is a grant application to improve criminal justice responses to domestic violence, sexual assault and stalking. The Kansas City, Kansas, Police Department is seeking to apply for a $500,000 grant for this program.
Another item on the agenda is an ordinance that would govern operating hours of the public parks, as well as address hunting and firearms at the parks, camping at the parks and digging within the UG parks.
A revision is proposed to the parks rules concerning boat owners who keep boats at Wyandotte County Lake. All new dock renters would have to be Wyandotte County residents, under the proposal.
The UG Administration and Human Services Committee will begin after the end of the Public Works and Safety meeting.
On the agenda are a presentation of the UG’s 2021 comprehensive fee schedule and an update on CARES Act funding.
Also, the committee will hear a presentation about a $923,365 grant application for COVID-19 infrastructure expansion funds. The grant funding, if received, would provide critical resources in COVID-19 testing and epidemiological surveillance-related activities including testing, contact tracing, surveillance, containment and mitigation to stop the spread of COVID-19.
