Great Bend Post
The Great Bend City Council will consider several items during tonight’s meeting at City Hall. The consent agenda will include fire department township contracts with Liberty, Buffalo, Great Bend, and South Bend, and also a street closure on Lakin Avenue from Main Street to Williams Street on June 5 from 4-8 p.m. as part of Rocky Mountain Race Week.
The council will also consider updates to the city’s golf cart ordinance. Recommendations include limiting golf car access on higher-traffic corridors to enhance public safety. The revised proposal would prohibit golf carts on any state or federal highways, connecting link, and specified arterial streets within the city, including Broadway east of Patton, 24th Street McKinley, Harrison Street south of 24th Street, Washington Avenue, and Patton Road north of 10th Street. Operation would be permitted only on streets with a posted speed limit of 30 miles per hour or less. The ordinance will also include various registration requirements, including a $30 registration fee.
The council will also consider approving a pavement management plan, a contract with JEO consulting for the Airport Lift Station Rehabilitation project, and a $32,000 city employee compensation study with Evergreen Solutions LLC.
Tonight’s meeting begins at 5:30 p.m. at City Hall.
