Junction City Council set to weigh RV park, vacancy appointment; city administrator search ongoing
In the past two weeks, Junction City's council and planning commission met on several agenda items, but no decisions have been published yet — minutes from those meetings are not available. The most consequential action is set for the upcoming Aug. 25 City Council meeting, where the council will consider an ordinance to allow a public recreational vehicle park, appoint a new council member, and discuss the city administrator position.
