This November, Prairie Village voters will be asked whether they want to do away with the city’s current form of government. The public vote, which the city has confirmed will occur this November, is the culmination of a years-long debate in Prairie Village, which began as a fight over zoning and housing and wound up in a legal battle over city governance. The question about the city’s form of government is also completely separate from the city’s current debate over a new municipal complex, which some residents have been insisting also be put on the ballot. In a statement Monday, the city confirmed that the question, “Shall the City of Prairie Village, Kansas, abandon the mayor-council form of government?” will appear on the November ballot.
