City panel drafts ex parte zoning safeguards in Kansas ruling era
Lawrence city commissioners discussed creating procedural safeguards for ex parte contacts in zoning hearings after a Kansas Supreme Court ruling. The proposed rules would require disclosure of lobbyists outside hearings, with staff to draft final procedures. The board also set MLK Week observance, approved consent items, and moved ahead on zoning and public works agendas.

Lawrence Commission weighs replica trolley purchase
A majority of Lawrence city commissioners favor buying a replica trolley to link downtown with the Riverfront Plaza but want more data. They directed Acting City Manager Mike Wildgen to draft a route, weekly hours, and operating cost, and to study leasing versus purchasing a 1990 diesel model at about 90 000 dollars.

Traffic safety panel delays speed limit change on West Eighth
Lawrence Traffic Safety Commission postponed a plan to curb speeding on West Eighth Street between Lawrence Avenue and Kasold Drive. City engineer Terese Gardner said traffic volume is light and readings show no speeding problem, and more data on a safe speed will be prepared by February. The panel also proposed removing parking on Indiana Street north from 19th Street and on Louisiana Street north from 21st Street.
