Coming Up at City Council

Recent business includes the proposed amendment to City Code to allow certain fowl (chickens) within the city limits. At the request of a resident at the November 12th (2020) meeting, Building Official Ed Beaudry drafted a proposed amendment and presented it to City Council on December 10th. Council requested time to review the proposal, and then gave feedback at the January 14th (2021) meeting.

A final version of the proposed amendment will be presented at the February 11th meeting. Council will then vote on the measure.

A print version of the City newsletter is now being distributed quarterly inside the Miami County Republic. Contents will mirror what's published digitally, but also include unique pieces from local leaders and other highlights. If you or your business is interested in sponsoring future editions, please give us a call.

Work has begun on installing the new pedestrian bridge along the Flint Hills Trail trailhead connection in Osawatomie.

Trail Work Continues

After feedback from Osawatomie Trail Task Force members, City Council voted to approve a resolution at this week's meeting that spells another step forward for trailhead amenity completion. A design for a trail waystation and informational kiosk has been approved, and will begin construction soon. Other trailhead facilities, such as a restroom and bike repair station, will also be installed this spring/summer.

Current COVID-19 guidelines and local orders must still be observed inside our facilities and at any event hosted in our facilities.
