Lawrence City Commission not meeting Tuesday

The Lawrence City Commission will not meet Tuesday because, under a schedule change passed in June, there are no meetings after the third week of every month.

The commission holds regular meetings on the first and third Tuesday of each month. The second Tuesday of the month is dedicated for work sessions, during which commissioners talk about issues but don’t vote on them.

The old schedule called for commissioners to meet every Tuesday except the fifth Tuesday of a month. The change was at the recommendation of City Manager Tom Markus.

Commissioners will next meet on Tuesday, Sept. 6, for a regular meeting starting at 5:45 p.m. at City Hall, 6 E. Sixth St.
