Cottonwood Falls
The Chase County Leader News reported that the Cottonwood Falls City Council appointed a new Planning Commission at its April 21 meeting. The council had suggested earlier that the city reestablish its planning commission. The city has an ordinance from 1975 that created a planning commission. The last members of the commission were appointed in 1999 and when those terms expired, new members were not appointed. The council approved six members to the commission at the meeting. The ordinance calls for a seven-member commission. The council is still looking for one more member outside the city of Cottonwood Falls.
