The City of Dodge City will remain in Phase 1 of the plan to reopen city-owned facilities and operation for an additional two weeks, beginning Monday, May 18th, 2020. This decision was made in response to Governor Kelly’s announcement that she had revised her Ad Astra: A Plan to Reopen Kansas, to include a Phase 1.5. “I want to reiterate that the City’s plan only applies to the city-owned facilities and operations,” said City Manager Cherise Tieben. “While we do have the authority to be open as an essential operation, we feel it is in the best interest of our employees and our community to follow the intent and spirit of the Governor’s orders.  We continue provide almost all of our services that were offered previously; we are simply doing the work in a different fashion.”
