City of Paola and USD 368 officials are working together to finalize a ballot question that would ask voters in November to approve the creation of a joint recreation commission. The possibility of a joint rec commission in Paola has been discussed for years, but the issue has come to the forefront recently because Paola is considering constructing a new sports complex in Wallace Park. During a June 1 work session, Paola City Council members directed Paola City Manager Sid Fleming to reach out to Paola Superintendent Matt Meek about the possibility of forming a task force with city and school district representatives to discuss the creation of a joint rec commission.
