Professor seeks re-election to Lawrence City Commission
City planning tops Nalbandian's list
By Sarah Morrison Kansan staff writer
John Nalbandian, associate professor of public administration, will run for re-election to the Lawrence City Commission.
Nalandian said he was seeking a second term because he wanted to continue to work on city development, property tax cuts, job creation and cooperation between the city, county and school board.
Nalbandian said the biggest issue of the campaign would be long-range planning. He said the city would receive a development plan called Horizon 2020 sometime after the election that, if adopted, would be used as a guideline for development in Lawrence for the next 20 years.
"It is very important to this community that growth is planned with
its long-term consequences anticipated. Nalbandian said in a press release. "We must continue to respect the prerogatives of landowners tempered by our concern for the community as a whole."
Nalbandian expressed concern last week that the proposal to add "sexual orientation" to the city's human relations code would become the only campaign issue. But he said that he didn't think the issue would drown out other issues because most of the candidates who had filed were in favor of the proposed ordinance.
Nalbandian said he was inclined to support the proposed ordinance change but would wait until after the staff study was completed to make a decision.
Nalbandian said that if he were elected, he would continue to work on economic development.
"We have developed an innovative economic-development plan targeted toward job creation and economic vitality." Nalbandian said in the release.
The plan includes encouraging home-grown businesses and the recruitment of outside businesses not considered likely to threaten the downtown area.
"The strategies in this plan build on Lawrence's uniqueness, and as co-chair of the economic development board, I would like to continue to provide leadership to implement the plan," he said in the release.
Nalbandian also said he would work to implement the $5 million reduction in property taxes that was supposed to follow the one-cent county sales tax increase passed by voters in November.
During his four-year term, Nalbandian has worked on a development plan for south Iowa street, a capitalimprovements budget, a storm water management task force and the one-cent sales tax proposal.
Nalbandian said he would campaign through brochure distribution and radio and newspaper ads, emphasizing the work he has done during his term and detailing his ideas for future projects.

KSU student making recovery
Chris Reeves was attacked Jan. 15 as he walked home from a computer center on the Manhattan campus.
A resident who lived across the street from the beating scene heard Reeves' screams and called 911. Doctors said the call likely saved Reeves' life.
Reeves, of St. Paul, Kan., was rushed to a Manhattan hospital before being taken to the Stormont-Vail Regional Medical Center in Topeka.
"Every time he turned his head, blood would run out of his ear," said Reeves' uncle, Mike Van Leeuwen of Topeka. "It was pretty messy. It was pretty tough for an uncle to see."
Five males from ages 17 to 22 have been arrested in connection with the beating and robbery. They also are
accused of another battery and robbery that occurred in the same area the next day, according to the Riley County Sheriff's Department and the Potawatonie County Sheriff's Department.
"It's so senseless," Van Leeuwen said.
Reeves, who is 5-foot-7 and 98 pounds, was a member of the K-State forensics team. By November, he had
"There was no reason to beat him up. Any one of those guys could've taken his wallet and left him, unless they thought they were going to kill him so he couldn't tell on them. You never know."
Mike Van Leouwen victim's uncle
qualified in three events for the national forensics tournament in April in Eau Claire, Wis. He holds the school record for completing final rounds at forensics and was on the verge of setting the national record.
Reeves is now
at the Kansas Rehabilitation Hospital in Topeka. He cannot say his name but recognizes family members. On Friday, he remembered for the first time what happened to him, Van Leeuwen said.
