Councilman Bixby, Don't you think your letting those down who elected you to get the City back on track? I being one of them. Stay and do what the people elected you to do, help change City Hall for the better! Don't bail now! Remember who who would pick your replacement. Then Nothing changes. Councilman Peak Can Not do it alone! STAY, Do what you were elected to do.
I would like to know why the council is not considering putting a Police station near downtown where it should be, putting it on property they already own, being the old city shop & the home to the north. It would accomplish two things, keeping P.D. Downtown & It could be built to fill All the Depts. needs. Also a City Hall could be built there also. I just hate to see everything leaving our wonderful downtown like the Post Office decided to do. I Do applauld Councilmen Bixby & Peak for trying to save taxpayer money with everythingt else going on such as the Industrial site south of town.
I agree with both of you, But to add another thing, What I just Can Not understand, is hiring a firm to pick the next City Administrator. I know Our City Council are bright enough to put Ads in the Kansas League of Municipaliies, In addition to the Kansas City Star & Wichita Eagle. Why are WE (The City) spending our tax money to pick someone who they will not ever be working with? The Mayor & Council will be the ones dealing with Him/Her and should decide who is the best fit for our community. Thank you.
I believe the sewer rate hike was a good plan. It is so much better than a mill levy increase, as it has everyone paying a share instead of just taxing property owners. This effects renters as well. I am thankful to have the services we have today.
I believe this is an exspense to the City that could have been avoided by the Mayor & City council by advertising themselves. $11,000.00 could have been used on other projects. it is the Mayor & Council who will be working directly with the new administrator. There is already a job description for the job and a couple ads placed, one being in the Kansas Municipalities magazine & a couple major papers I believe would have been sufficient. I believe we have a group of perfessional Council members to do interviews and make a choice as to whom would be best suited & best fit for Our City. Just my opinion.
Old_Vet, I have to agree with you, Governor Brownback has kept his promise and anytime you have someone trying to keep government smaller is okay in my book!! Thanks Old_Vet for your Highly thought out ideas.
What seems to be the problem folks? What's ALL the fuss? NOBODY HAS DIED THERE!!! YET!!! That's what their waiting for folks!! Of course I'm being sarcastic, but really it's sad that's what it takes to get something done!! SOMEONE HAS TO DIE!! Look at K-10, They finally had a death!! WAKE UP City of Tonganoxie & State of Kansas!! I know we're just taxpayers & Voters. Our lives aren't "WORTH" much!! Speed limit may help, Stop light is the answer!!
I believe this is a great idea with the Cities budget consrants they way they are today. I've always thought the speed should be 45 MPH as it is on the South side near Washington. I truly believe this WILL cut down accidents in the area with the lower speed also some regulat enforcement, (Not talking about a speed trap) Just enforcement with a sign warning folks that the speed limit will be vigorously enforced.
I do agree with Paula. The Officers need to keep a dress uniform for specials of which they participate. Also, I would like to see them keep the Chieftain emblem. Chief Tonganoxie is why we have that name and would like to keep that heritage alive! Chief Brandau, Please keep the Chieftain!!

City sewer rates hiked 5 percent
I believe the sewer rate hike was a good plan. It is so much better than a mill levy increase, as it has everyone paying a share instead of just taxing property owners. This effects renters as well. I am thankful to have the services we have today.
