Various local officials said Monday they need a formal process for making decisions together for things like CiCo Park. During Monday’s intergovernmental luncheon, Manhattan, Riley County, K-State and USD 383 officials discussed potential changes and updates to the fairgrounds and CiCo park, which is owned jointly by USD 383, Riley County and Manhattan. As previously reported, a task force looking at possible relocation or additions for the Riley County Fairgrounds and said it would like to see a venue that could host all kinds of live events. Former county commissioner and fairgrounds task force member Dave Lewis said it is important to expand the task force to include officials from the Manhattan city government, USD 383 and K-State because those entities could benefit and have a stake in the expansion.
