Ordinance Committee November 10, 2026

The Lawrence City Council Ordinance Committee met on November 10, 2026. It voted to recommend to the full Council an ordinance adding an Assistant Director of Communications position to the Lawrence Public Library’s municipal code. The position was funded in the FY2027 budget, with a salary range of $63,700–$104,000; no additional appropriation was requested. The committee also advanced resolutions recognizing a retiring Lawrence Public Schools coach and honoring a Lawrence servicemember killed in World War II, each with a favorable recommendation to the full Council.

The committee tabled a resolution opposing the state-mandated implementation of accessory dwelling units and voted to resend correspondence requesting responses from the City Attorney, ISD director, and Planning director. Several handicap-parking and street-parking matters were referred to the Police Department, DPW, or DPW Engineering; a public hearing was ordered for a handicap-parking request at 67 Inman Street. No contracts, vendor selections, or other procurement activity were identified.
