The Ottawa Cyclones host opponents on their home court as part of a pivotal matchup. Key players and game details are featured on Page 8 with likely updates on standings and venue notes.
Ottawa city attorney Bob Bezek and planning director Wynndee Lee told the Monday study session the interlocal agreement with Franklin County was not about annexation or expanding services. They said it establishes the legal framework for transferring jurisdiction and issuing notices and voting obligations between the county and city, not altering land use or creating extra authority. The extraterritorial control dates to the 1970s, with updates to the comprehensive plans from 2003 to 2005 and shared regulations needing county approval for the agreement to proceed.
A Monday proposal outlines a new local House district map with a dashed black and green line. The plan moves Kansas House District 9 toward the Franklin Anderson county border, likely removing Rep. Bill Otto from Franklin County and transferring his area to District 5, now led by Rep. Bill Feuerborn. Reps. Terri Lois Gregory and Willie Prescott would continue as delegates for districts crossing Franklin County.
Kansas House Redistricting Committee proposed a plan to redraw 125 districts that would remove Rep. Bill Otto from Franklin County. The map aims to reflect 2010 census shifts, retaining Prescott Gregory and Feuerborn for Franklin County representation while Ottawa would gain three representatives. The plan, part of broader redistricting for House, Senate, Education, and U.S. Congress, awaits final approval and governor signature.
