The Junction City Commission has decided to have the city participate in the Flint Hills Regional Council this year, 2024.
On Feb. 6 the governing body heard from multiple area residents asking them to reconsider keeping the City as a member of the Council.
On Jan. 3rd the city commission had let die for lack of a second a motion renewing the annual membership to the Council. The City had not budgeted for membership this year.
Tuesday night the commission vote to continue membership was 4-1 with Jeff Underhill voting no. Commissioner Ronna Larson favored having a seat at the table, noting the importance of being part of the region now.
On a separate note, Geary County Commissioner Trish Giordano has been elected the chair of the Flint Hills Regional Council.
