The Goodland City Commission held their regular meeting on Monday, August 3rd, and discussed many different items, but most notably passed a resolution to put the City of Goodland under a water watch.

Goodland City Manager Kent Brown joined the Good Neighbor Hour to discuss the meeting's most important items.

First and foremost, Brown talked about the Water Watch and what that entails. In simple terms, it's basically just asking the citizens of Goodland to be weary of how much water they are using. City Manager Brown mentioned that in the month of July, the city used a total of around 57 million gallons of water, which was high even for the month of July.

"It's letting people know to voluntarily conserve water...it's just a watch at this point and we're just maintaining vigilance of the water supplies and how it's brought to the customer."

Another important item regarded a new ordinance that will be made for the use of electric scooters and other electric assisted vehicles.

A few other items worth noting include a contract extension for Med-Trans Corporation, what was formally known as Eagle-Med, and the final Park-n-Play event that the City of Goodland is hosting on August 14th at Steever Park. There will be a free BBQ and a free concert.

The last item City Manager Brown mentioned was the resignation of City Commissioner Sarah Artzer. He noted that anyone who has interest in filling that position, bring your information and present your case at the next City Commission meeting. Whoever fills the spot will stay in the spot until the end of 2027.

The next regular meeting for the Goodland City Commission will be on Monday, August 17th.
