City quorum unchanged by Lawrence commission
The Lawrence city commission kept the quorum at four for another year despite Paul Longabach’s push to raise it to five to allow two members to meet privately. Commissioners argued the risk of abuse remains very slim. The meeting also covered an Arts Center expansion study, fire safety program recognition at KU dorms, and proclamations for the Shamrock Shuffle 5K and St Patrick’s Day Parade.
