t sure looks like the City Commission is going to be talking with candidates for the open city manager position soon. Commissioners will meet Tuesday, but instead of adjourning the meeting when they are done with business, they will recess the meeting until Nov. 8, a Sunday. When the commission gets back together then, it will immediately call an executive session, where commissioners will talk about personnel matters behind closed doors. My understanding is that the executive session is to interview candidates for the city manager position, which commissioners are seeking to fill after David Corliss earlier this year left the job to take a similar position in Colorado. The commission is scheduled to meet in executive session from about 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. The justification for the executive session is to “protect the privacy of non-elected personnel.” I don’t have any word on how many candidates the commission may be interviewing at that time, but the length of the session would indicate multiple candidates. The executive session will just be one part of the process. Commissioners have said they do intend to narrow the field to a list of finalists. They plan to release the names of the finalists and hold an event to allow the public to meet the finalists. It looks like November could be a busy month on that front. — This is an excerpt from Chad Lawhorn’s Town Talk column, which appears daily on LJWorld.com.

If you don’t want your child to trick-or-treat at a registered sex offender’s house in Kansas, then you’re going to have to do a little research first. Kansas, unlike other states, does not place any Halloween restrictions on registered offenders, according to state statutes. There are no signs indicating a sex offender’s home, no ban on doling out candy and, at least in Douglas County, no law Inside: enforcement specifically as- Tips on safe signed to monitor the moves of trick-orformer sexual predators on the treating. 2A child-friendly holiday. “The state of Kansas does not have any law that specifically places any restrictions on registered sex offenders regarding Halloween or contacting children on Halloween,” Douglas County Sheriff’s Office spokeswoman Sgt. Kristen Dymacek said. “Other states do, and I think that’s where some of the confusion comes into play.”
