City Commission

Just got out of the city commission worksession.
The most interesting thing perhaps, was a proposal brought up by Mayor Jay Warren. He asked City Attorney Tamara Niles to look into the possibility of getting the city some representation on the county commission.
He noted that cities pay a lot of taxes into the county, so he would like to have more representation.
His proposal is to add a member  from Arkansas City, and one from Winfield, to the county commission. That would make the county commission have five members instead of its current three.
It was not a formal proposal, but he was just raising the question.

  2. this is all about the creation of the tiff district, the city needs approval from the county and the school district, with it the tiff is dead.
    the city has no business's currently interested in a tiff district for industrial use, what they want is a retail tiff. this is not good for the community, it will not create local jobs. it will not create sales tax that is usable now, it will not lower your property taxs,, all you may gain is another place to stuff your gut
