City Commissioners celebrate Lawrence's 149th birthday
Lawrence City Commission members enjoyed cookies and tackled zoning and median issues at their weekly meeting last night.
David Dunfield, mayor, proclaimed the week of Sept. 17 to 23 as "Constitution Week." Representatives from the Betty Washington chapter of Lawrence's Daughters of the American Revolution accepted the official proclamation.
Bill Crowe and Marci Francisco of the Sesquicentennial Commission handed out cookies in honor of Lawrence's 149th birthday.
Commissioners discussed the median in the 4100 block of W. Sixth Street. The median was put in place to prevent drivers from turning left from the central exit of the Hy-Vee grocery store.
Doug Garber, owner of the property at 4101 W. Sixth St., raised concerns with the median. He said the barrier did not allow cars traveling west on Sixth Street to turn into his business.
The City Commission voted to allow The Chocolate Factory to place two eight-foot by four-foot signs on the Riverfront Plaza tower. City approval was required because the tower is located on city property. The Chocolate Factory is located in the lobby of Springhill Suites by Marriott, 1 Riverfront Plaza.
There will not be a City Commission meeting on Tuesday, Sept. 30, because it will be the fifth Tuesday of the month.
The meetings are broadcast live on Sunflower Broadband channel 25.

City gives dog owners time to comply with new ordinance
WICHITA- The city has decided to give dog owners a little breathing room
if they violate a new ordinance that makes it illegal for them to leave their dogs tied up all the time.
Under the ordinance that took effect Friday, dog owners could face fines of up to $500. But most people who violate it will get off with a warning for now because animal control workers said they wanted to work with dog owners and give them time to comply with the new rule.
Animal control workers will not drive the streets looking for dogs that are tethered but will investigate complaints, he said. Enforcement will be on a case-by-case basis.
The Associated Press
At least 28 cities and six counties nationwide, Including Austin, Texas, and Palm Beach County, Fla., restrict the tethering of animals. Wichita's ordinance does not prohibit tethering but prohibits tying up dogs for more than one hour at a time.
KU Med changing hospital name effective Sunday
KANSAS CITY, Kan. — KU Med, the hospital on the campus of the University of Kansas Medical Center, is changing its name to University of Kansas Hospital, effective Sunday.
Officials said the current name had caused confusion between the hospital and KU Medical Center, which includes the University's Schools of Medicine, Nursing and Allied Health.
KU Med said the name change "will allow clearer distinction between the hospital and university functions, while at the same time showing our affiliation with the life science schools of the University of Kansas."
The hospital is governed by an independent state authority.

Question of the day
How do I find my new 7-digit KUID number?
