Former mayors oppose city building plan in Ottawa
Ottawa commissioners heard skepticism from two former mayors, George Marshall and Allen Loyd, about forming a public building commission to fund and manage a new recreation facility. They warned the move could circumvent public votes and raise bond costs, noting state law restricts ownership and financing. The plan envisions a commission sharing powers with the recreation commission, with city oversight and property tax revenues likely supporting facilities.

Public safety officials in the Kansas City metro area pressed U S representatives for more federal funding to bolster emergency preparedness for biological or chemical attacks. City fire chief Richard Dyer and Johnson County officials warned tight local budgets cannot absorb added costs, while planners emphasize national scope and the need for integrated response across agencies.
