A final public hearing was held pertaining to a regulatory amendment concerning special events. Monty Wedel, Planning/Special Projects Director, reviewed input received during public meetings in regard to the proposed regulation. The regulation would impose varying levels of requirements depending upon the size of the event as well as its duration and frequency. Commissioners voted to adopt the regulation as amended.

Assistant County Attorney Wes Garrison described events held celebrating Law Day on May 1. Presentations were made to grade school students by law professionals in the area. The event is funded by the Riley County Bar Association. Commissioner Kearns suggested expanding the event to high school age students by holding mock court trials.
