City restricts 12th St. parking near Dollar General Less than two weeks after Dollar General relocated to their new building at the corner of US83/12th Street in Scott City, complaints have started coming in. The Scott City Council dis-
cussed traffic issues which have arisen at the site, primarily due to 12th Street (on the south) which is narrow and the ability of vehicles to enter and exit the parking lot from a single drivein onto 12th Street.
“There are vehicles parking on 12th Street and it’s too narrow,” noted Councilman Gary Eitel during Monday’s meeting. Vehicles parked on the street, combined with those using the one entrance, are creating safety issues for vehicles that are
stopped on US83 and waiting to turn west onto 12th Street. City Attorney John Shirley advised the council that a second entrance on US83 Highway wasn’t permitted by the Kansas Department of Transportation.
In hopes of reducing congestion the council instructed that signs be posted which prohibit parking on the south side of 12th Street from US83 to Court Street and prohibit parking in the one-half block west of US83 on the north side of 12th Street.
Swimming pool manager resigns; city extends application deadline Having been advised that Cheryl Kucharik will not apply for the job of swimming pool manager for the upcoming year, the Scott City Council has decided to extend the job application process for an additional two weeks, until Feb. 14. Kucharik has been a long-time pool manager, but hinted to the council she may not seek the position again this year. She didn’t make the decision official until after the deadline for applications. The city received one application for manager and one for assistant manager, but neither was opened at Monday’s meeting. “There’s a chance that other people may apply for the position if they know that Cheryl isn’t applying,” noted City Clerk Brenda Davis. “Most people are going to assume that it was her job as long as she wanted it.” Applications for manager and assistant manager will be accepted until 5:00 p.m. on Fri., Feb. 14. Approve Banners The council approved the purchase
Council “We assumed you were ignoring us,” said Mayor Dan Goodman. “I can understand why you would think that and it certainly wasn’t our intent,” replied Robbins. “What we did was in good faith based on what we’d been told.” Robbins appeared at the last council meeting in response to another letter from the city that was received on Jan. 27. She said they would prefer keeping the fifthwheel at its current location and asked if it was possible to apply for a zoning variance. Shirley
of 30 new light pole banners that will have a sunflower design to be located along US83 Highway at a cost of $2,040. The only objection was raised by Councilman Fred Kuntzsch who said that a snowflake design, which is a banner the city already has, or the sunflowers “mean nothing.” “Why not promote something about your town?” asked Kuntzsch. “That would be money well spent.” Appoint Committees Mayor Goodman made appointments to two committees - one to evaluate recently adopted changes to water rates and the other to evaluate the creation of a full-time financial clerk position at City Hall. Committee assignments include: Water rates: Council members Josh Gooden, Perry Nowak, Jack Schmitt and Everett Green, and Public Works Director Mike Todd. Financial clerk: Council members Fred Kuntzsch, Bo Parkinson, Gary Eitel and Jon Brunswig, and City Clerk Brenda Davis.

advised her that a variance couldn’t be allowed for the purpose she would be requesting. Robbins said they have made arrangements to relocate the trailer to a different site in town. However, the violation of city ordinance also raises another issue for the WKCAC. According to guidelines regarding the distribution of sales tax grants, an organization is not eligible if it is in violation of city ordinances. Because of Robbins’ and Fyler’s connection to WKCAC, the organiza-
tion was declared ineligible for a sales tax grant in 2014. In 2013, WKCAC received $28,000 through the grant program. “We’re in the process of addressing this situation and we don’t want the Western Kansas Child Advocacy Center to be held liable for something we did,” Robbins urged the council. The council agreed to allow WKCAC to apply for a grant if the fifthwheel is removed by the time the first distribution of funding is made on April 1.
