Homees that have been converted into boarding houses for University of Kansas students in the Oread neighborhood often cannot accommodate children's parking needs, according to Mike Widen, assistant city manager.
Although apartment complexes and boarding houses must provide a certain number of parking spaces, boarding houses often do not provide them, Wildgen said. He said inspection was difficult because the city did not always know which houses had been converted into boarding houses.
The problem was compounded because cars could be parked on the street in the Oread neighborhood for seven days before they were towed. In other parts of the city, cars are limited to two days.
Also during the winter break, the city commission and members of the delegation to the Kansas Legislature met and discussed easing the impact of property tax reappraisals. The reappraisals will begin in 1990.

The city commission considered charging developers for development costs to keep the mill levy down and to try to cut taxes at the city level, said Mayor Bob Schumm.
"The center business district will be impacted dramatically as well as the homes around the district."
Schumm said. "The reappraisals will especially hurt marginal and new business owners."
Downtown property taxes will double or triple, Schumm said. Homes will be taxed by 12 percent and by 18 percent of their commercial value.
The commission will delay its efforts until the April election.

"The city commission is in lame-

primary." Schumm said.
Amyx and Louie McElhaney began their county commission terms Jan. 9.
He added that because of the April election, the commission decided not to fill the seat vacated by Mike Amyx, who won the second county commission fee and had to their city commission before his term ended.
One of Amyx's first proposals was to change the meeting times. The county commission now meets at 9 a.m. mondays and 7 p.m. Wednesdays on a trial basis. Amyx's campaign is holding county meeting meetings during the day forced interested residents to take time away from work.
before its inception Amyx served almost six years as a city commissioner and was mayor of Lawrence twice.
In addition, the county and city have filed an inter-interal agreement to ensure that the proposed $40 million, 14.3-mile southwest trafficway, which would link Kansas Highway 10 and the Kansas Turnpike, remains a limited access roadway.
