Organizers of KU Big Event seek local projects around Lawrence. Shirley Tarpy, hampered by illness, notes students provide yard work and home tasks each spring after signing up through KU’s service day. The program began in 2000 and follows a campus tradition of student volunteer work.
Residents can sign up online at bigeventku.com or by phone at 864-7469. Volunteers will canvass Lawrence on Saturday handing out sign-up forms door to door. March 31 is the due date for job requests as KU students, faculty, and staff mobilize to help with tasks across the city.
Lawrence city commissioners approved a 25 million Rock Chalk recreation center plan and granted a 100 percent property tax abatement for 10 years to the larger Rock Chalk Park project. The votes were 4-1, with Mike Amyx dissenting, despite a lack of backing from the incentives panel. The panel had not endorsed the abatement earlier, but officials argued the project benefits community health and KU athletic facilities including track and field, soccer and softball stadiums.
City commissioners balked at creating a citywide rental licensing program and halted action Tuesday night. A broad majority favored some form of inspection system but questioned the city’s capacity to oversee about 18 000 rental units. Commissioner Mike Dever called 18 000 dwelling units a huge number.
The today’s forecast calls for mostly sunny skies and a high near 41 degrees. Light winds from the southwest are expected, with dry conditions across the region and no precipitation forecast.
