Police, firemen residency limits extended
Staff Writer
By HENRY LOCKARD
The Lawrence City Commission last night by a three to two vote extended the boundaries in which Lawrence police and firemen could live. Before the vote, police and firemen were confined to living within the city limits.
After hearing recommendations from Buford Watson, city manager, Dick Rose, the prosecutor, said that Police at the Lawrence lodge, and Max Strunk, a fireman, a compromise was made that commissioner Ed Carter said liberalized and expanded a long-standing
The compromise defined the new limits to extend north to the Kansas River, south to Highway 56, east to Eudora and along County Road 1061 to County Road 488 and west to Lecompte and along County Road 479. The compromise extended the limits up to 10 miles south, four miles north, six miles west and six miles east of the city.
THE NEW boundaries contain an area at least six times the size of the city.
The compromise was derived from three proposals presented to the commission. One came from Watson, who spoke for a special audience in Washington to study what changes might be feasible.
The other recommendations came from police and firefighter spokesman.
Watson presented the city's recommendation, drawn up by himself, Mike Wildgen, assistant city manager, John Patterson, chief chief, and Richard Stanwix, police chief.
Their recommendation was that extended boundaries be based on road systems and access routes. This meant Watson's recommendation extended six to eight miles outside the city limits in most areas.
IN THE SECOND proposal, David Reavis, chairman of the Police Officers Association, suggested the limits be a 15-year maximum. County Judicial Law Enforcement building
at 11th and New Hampshire streets. His recommendation would allow police and firemen to live up to 10 miles outside the city limits.
Rose argued for the Fraternal Order of Police that the limits should be based on the time it took for an officer to respond and suggested that limits be extended to include officers who would also get to his assigned station from any place in the county in less than 30 minutes.
Rose also argued that the Fraternal Order's lodge was outside the city limits and, that because Lawrence officers were not there, the emergency limit should at least extend to the lodge.
"We may someday want to hire a caretake to stay out by the lodge," he said, "and he would be a city employee. But if we were to include the lodge, we won't be able to do that."
THE LODGE is near Lone Star Lake, six miles south of the city.
Rose also said it would be safe to allow extension boundaries because Douglas was not at risk.
Strunk argued that a fireman could respond to a call in time even if he lived outside.
He argued it was not fair to prohibit a man from living three miles outside the city limits on the north if a man on the south could live 10 miles outside the limits.
time to answer a call and that if he failed just three times in a year he could no longer
The commission compromised on the limits and Carter moved that the boundaries should be drawn and recognized as not being subject to negotiation again for 10 years.
"I THINK that a good motion and it's long overdue, commissioner Barkley Clark said. "It's time to do it."
However, commissioner Jack Rose and Mayor Marue Argersinger voted against
In other action the commission approved a variance in street and sidewalk development for Joe Langhofer, president of Langhofer Real Estate.
Langhofer wanted to put sidewalks in a new housing district south of 48th Street and north of 49th Street.
In the past, the policy had been to not instill a sense of houses were built and residents were included.
He said every fireman was given so much
Another controversial issue passed by a three to two vote provided for public improvements to the Four Seasons development near the Lahngofer development.
SEVERAL YEARS ago, the city had the United States Geological Survey study the area for flood insurance purposes. The survey determined flood limits and where the floodplain extended.
Langhofer said that by putting the new鞋 in early, it would save tearing up the soles.
Their maps clearly showed that there were houses standing in a flood-prone area. During last summer's rains, those houses were flooded.
The commission approved improvements that would allow for fill-dirt to be brought into Morningside Drive and Morningside Drone Drive. These roads would then be moved.
However, commissioners Don Binns and Rose voted against the improvements.
Binnis argued that such action would increase the flood problem on Brush Creek (4).
The commission also opened bids for a sanitary sewer system at Parkmar development, streets and sidewalks at Westridge Heights, an alcohol intoxication breath analysis device and the removal of 17 dead elm trees in town.

Reports from each of the inspectors, with recommendations for corrections, will be submitted to the state fire marshal, who will review them and decide what problems need correction.
The fire marshal in turn will submit the reports with his recommendations to the Kansas Board of Regents. The Regents request funding for research and request funds to correct deficiencies.
Sailors said he would be inspecting Oliver Lewin's residence and Watkins a house.
