Lawrence city attorney proposes shifting mayor transitions from April to November to align with a new state election timetable starting 2017. Commissioners weigh when a new mayor takes over and how long they serve as the five member City Commission, not voters, selects the mayor for a one year term. The change includes potential partisan filings for candidates.
The new state law would shift terms for Commissioners Matthew Herbert Lisa Larsen and Mike Amyx ending earlier in 2018 and 2017 respectively, with Soden and Boley terms possibly extended to 2020. The commission may vote on extending mayoral terms to January cycles or keep April elections, with no partisan switch discussed yet. The City Commission meeting is set for Tuesday at City Hall.
Lawmakers discuss a compromise to the 2017 property tax lid law affecting cities and counties. The plan preserves exemptions for growth, new construction, public safety, and mandates, while smoothing inflation via a five year CPI average. Lawrence officials urge local control and caution on timing for votes and budgets.
Lawmakers prepared to let Gov Brownback delay a 100 million payment with interest due next fiscal year. March revenue reports show mixed results with individual income taxes under projections but higher sales and insurance taxes lifting year to date figures. House Dem leader Burroughs warns the shortfall remains grave and calls for a balanced, sustainable plan when the Legislature reconvenes in late April.
