Topeka’s governing body has three new members as it prepares Tuesday to consider rescinding the action it took last month aimed at outsourcing the city’s program that provides grant funding to social service agencies.
The governing body, which consists of the nine city council members and Mayor Michelle De La Isla, plans to meet at 6 p.m. in its chambers at 214 S.E. 8th. The Shawnee County Commission won’t meet Monday because of the Martin Luther King holiday.
New Topeka City Councilwoman Christina Valdivia-Alcala proposed last week that the city’s governing body rescind the action it took Dec. 17 in a 7-2 vote to authorize city staff members to solicit proposals from anyone interested in operating the program through which the city provides grant funding to social service agencies. Votes from six governing body members would be needed to undo that.
