– City Council discussed issue with alley south of the post office near 432 Elmore. Resident Deanna Posik requested no parking signs be posted along the alley. Because a used portion of the alley is on her private property, the City is not in the position to post the no parking signs. She may post signs if she would like. This seems to be more a dispute between neighbors that should be resolved between the two parties. Council advised for the City Clerk to send a letter to Miss Posik.

– Paul Bahnmaier spoke to the city council and Thanking Superintendent Rance Roberts for doing a great job cleaning the streets.
Additionally this is a re-apportionate year, we hope Lecompton will stay with Douglas County. There could be re-alignment with the State Senators. Paul is planning to meeting with Barbara Ballard, so if the City has anything they would like to bring up, Paul would be happy to speak with her on our behalf during their zoom meeting.
