Unified Government committees today will hear a proposal for temporary inmate housing agreements, as well as a temporary dispatch center relocation, and a proposal from a resident to decriminalize marijuana.
The UG Public Works and Safety Committee will meet at 5 p.m. Monday, March 18, at the fifth floor meeting room, City Hall, 701 N. 7th St., Kansas City, Kansas. The Administration and Human Services Committee meeting will follow.
The Public Works and Safety Committee will consider a resolution for the temporary housing of inmates. Under the resolution, the UG would enter into inmate housing agreements with Miami, Jackson, Andrew, Leavenworth and Butler counties.
According to agenda information, there has been a continued increase in jail inmate population in Wyandotte County. The resolution would allow the county administrator to enter into agreements that follow a recommended form.
Also on the agenda is an agreement between the Kansas City, Kansas, Police Department and the Bonner Springs Police Department for traffic enforcement and limited law enforcement at the Renaissance Festival and the Providence Medical Center Amphitheater in Bonner Springs.
The Public Works and Safety Committee also is scheduled to hear a discussion about the Adopt-a-Spot program, where community groups or individuals would be able to adopt a place in Wyandotte County and keep it cleaned up.
The Administration and Human Services Committee tonight is scheduled to hear an update on the project to renovate the Public Safety Dispatch Center. As part of the renovation, the dispatch center would be temporarily relocated to the Johnson County Dispatch Center.
Also scheduled is an appearance by Murray Anderson Sr., a resident, to request decriminalization of the use of marijuana.
