The current $15 connect and disconnect fee for disrupting gas service will likely be altered soon.
The Louisburg City Council gave city staff direction to draft an ordinance to raise the fee to $50 per service interruption.
City Administrator Jeff Cantrell said residents were abusing the low fee by shutting off gas service during the summer, which is burdensome to city staff and public works crews. The problem, he said, was it cost the city more than $15 to cover the cost associated with the routine servicing and monitoring of gas lines.

After a brief history on the now-repealed truck-route and parking ordinance for the city, the Louisburg Planning Commission discussed the status of the city’s lack of regulation regarding the issue.
“So now we have nothing,” said planning commissioner Nate Apple at the July 28 meeting.
Planning commissioner Les Page added, “We’re being reactive, not proactive.”
The City Council’s removal of ordinance 744 was not the only action of which the planning commission disapproved.
The commissioners took a consensus vote to decide if the governing body should send the council a letter denouncing their newfound plan to provide two two-week moratoriums for the ordinance prohibiting garage sale signs — once in both the spring and fall.
In other business at the July 28 Louisburg Planning Commission meeting at City Hall, the planning commissioners approved a collection of proposed revisions to the city’s zoning and subdivision regulations.
All the amendments were intended to positively impact the Kansas Highway 68 Corridor along with some housekeeping changes in the language of some regulations. |

When Steve Town accepted Louisburg Mayor Curt Shreckengaust’s appointment to Sid Mitchell’s vacant seat on the Louisburg City Council last month, an opening was created on the Louisburg Park Board.
And when Mike Behrhorst recently informed the City Council that he would be moving to Iowa for work-related reasons, the number of active Park Board members was reduced to four.

Louisburg residents will have the opportunity to speak their mind during two public hearings at Monday night’s Louisburg City Council meeting.
The first public hearing will focus on the 2010 budget, which calls for a 2.88-mill increase of this year’s budget. In doing so, a city staff position that is currently filled could be eliminated.
The second focuses on Steve Graue’s request to be able to sell wine at the Louisburg Farmers Market. Because of a portion of Kansas Senate Bill 212, which was passed earlier this year, Kansas farm wineries can sell at farmers markets.
Graue, owner of Graue Vineyards and Middle Creek Winery, said he has a state liquor license and all the permits needed to sell the wine at the farmers market.

One city employee may lose his or her job after a recent decision by the Louisburg City Council.
A full crowd filled the council chambers at the council’s Monday night meeting, and several spoke about their desire for the council to do what was necessary to keep the mill levy flat, or have as small of a rise as possible.
As a result of that public feedback as well as a lack of viable options, council members indicated their intention to potentially eliminate a currently filled staff position, which would put the city’s anticipated mill levy increase at approximately 2.88 mills.
“It was a very tough decision,” said City Administrator Jeff Cantrell. “Nobody was happy to participate in it. It was a painful decision, and the city will lose a quality employee if it happens.”
A final decision will be made at a public hearing at 6 p.m. Aug. 17 in the council chambers.
