Hello All,

I reached out to each of you through your email address on November 8, 2024 inquiring information on K.S.A 19-2670. I've heard nothing back from any of you with an answer, guidance or direction of any kind. However, Mr. Bill Riphahn has viewed my LinkedIn account on many occasions, which is rather creepy. Not sure of the reason for that, but you have my email address and I would welcome a response.

Since two weeks had passed and no response, I did reach out to Governor Laura Kelly's office and I've attached the response along with my reply back. It's another disappointing effort to get an answer when entities and people "pass the buck". Is it really so difficult within your PAID duties to respond? If it's not within your perimeters and apparently not a concern with Governor Laura Kelly, can any of you suggest another entity or person, who can provide the information?

Mr. Robert Williams inquired about this same issue during a couple of meetings and to this date, and last I knew, he's not received an answer. During one of the meetings, it was put forth, "it was Wyandotte County", if my memory is correct. Clearly that makes no sense whatsoever, but trying to get clear and concise information is like playing the game TWISTER.

At least some guidance and direction would be appreciated. Thank you for taking the time to read and hoping some guidance and or answers will be on the horizon soon.

Sincerely,
Rhonda Underwood

Thank you for your response; however, while your response states the City of Topeka Citizen Advisory Council "may serve a similar purpose" did not answer my question. This is a State Legislative Statute, not City nor County. I sent an email to Shawnee County Commissioner's with inquiry and it's not been answered as of this date.

It's very distasteful to continue to get the run around when our entities don't want to be clear with direction, but rather shift you to "someplace else". Discouraging at it's finest.

Thank you for taking the time to contact our office and share your concerns  regarding a citizen's commission on local government . 

 

Per K.S.A 19-2670, the members of this commission are comprised of government officials from various points of local government and 18 other individuals who are appointed by the government officials on the commission. The statue lists specific positions that would be on this board, like the county commissioners. We suggest you look up who fills these positions and reach out to them for more information. Additionally, Shawnee County may be able to assist you. You can can reach their office at (785) 251-4040 or at 200 SE 7th Street, Topeka, KS 66603

 

T he City of Topek also has a Citizen Advisory Council which may serve a similar purpose to the council in the statute. You can find their meeting attendance roster and member contact information  here.

 

Thank you once again for reaching out .    I hope this information  is  helpful.  Should you have  additional questions,  please visit our website at www.governor.kansas.gov or contact our office at (785) 368-8500 or   correspondence@ks.gov .
