County official misses Norman city manager job
Douglas County Administrator Craig Weinaug, longtime Lawrence official, was a finalist for Norman Oklahoma's city manager post but Norman City Council chose Andy Anderson. Weinaug earns 94000 annually in Douglas County and would have faced higher pay and broader duties in Norman. He said he was not actively seeking to leave and would have welcomed more responsibilities.

County weighs Eudora plant dump to curb rising waste costs
Douglas County commissioners consider moving septic tank waste from private haulers to Eudora wastewater plant. Feasibility studies show a new storage tank and pump could handle the county’s waste with costs around 500000, cheaper than Lawrence’s dumping rates rising to 207 per load by 2002. Proposals include a 30 per year countywide fee to fund operations, but some officials oppose broad charges. No action taken and issue to be revisited.
