Gerry Vernon, Interim City Manager

A basic tenet of government is to be responsive to its citizens. It is very important to me as the Interim City Manager and one that I have encouraged City Staff to also value. I have observed that our response to calls, questions, and concerns has improved. I wanted to take a moment and say thank you to Department Heads, Managers, and City Staff for their efforts in responding quickly and professionally to all the inquiries that we receive day in and day out.

Also, a hats off, respectful nod, and a big thank you to all the veterans for serving our great country.

According to the 515 Report: KDOT is planning to normalize traffic on I-70 through the winter season. The contractor will still be working in the area and have lanes down at times.

The South Washington Roundabout is now open and the contractor has now completed hydro seeding on the project.

The City Commission approved the KDOT Agreement for the bid on the roundabout and paying the city’s share of the project of $192,000.00.
