Goodland City Commission Approves Traffic Trailer Purchase and Addresses Local Cat Issues

On December 4, 2023, the Goodland City Commission held a meeting, led by Mayor Aaron Thompson. Vice-Mayor J. J. Howard, Commissioners Jason Showalter, Ann Myers, and Brook Redlin, and other city officials were present.

Sheriff Burton Pianalto and Undersheriff Milton Varney proposed buying a traffic trailer to monitor speed when law enforcement is not around. The trailer, costing around $7,000, would be used to encourage safe driving, particularly near schools.

The Commission approved the Consent Agenda, which included the Election Certification and Appropriation Ordinances: 2023-08, 2023-08A, and 2023-P08, with a unanimous 5-0 vote.

The Commission also discussed two resolutions. Resolution 1619 scheduled a public hearing for 1319 Cherry Street, a property with an ongoing cat issue. Twelve cats have been removed from the property and rehomed. Resolution 1620 scheduled a hearing for 516 W. Hwy 24, Lot 406, where seven unhealthy cats have been euthanized. The property owner will bear the associated costs. Both resolutions were unanimously approved with a 5-0 vote.

In summary, the Goodland City Commission meeting addressed traffic control and animal control issues. The Commission approved the purchase of a traffic trailer, the Consent Agenda, and two resolutions for properties with ongoing cat issues.
