Ottawa to vote on splitting public safety department
The June 1 ballot asks if the Department of Public Safety should be divided into police and fire. City Manager Randy Wetmore provided tentative budgets for both options at a study session. Separate departments would cost about $35,288 more than a combined DPS, with totals of $1,592,046 versus $1,556,758. Commissioner Fred Heathman suggested shaving the director’s salary by roughly $5,000 to lower costs.

The Kansas DSHS faces a $16 million shortfall, and federal Medicare reductions of $5.7 billion are contested, though some restores exist. New auxiliary officers were installed and gift shop sales were reported.
