In addition to signing the petition, we encourage all individuals to send public comments to both Commissions. The general comment email for the Planning Department is planning@lawrenceks.org. Additionally, it can also be helpful to submit general public comment to the City Commission before it appears on their agenda. The email for the City Commissioners general comment is commissioners@lawrenceks.org. 

While we encourage each individual to write their own thoughts, below are some topics that we highlight. Click the links to learn more:

1. Floodplains and wetlands: their benefits, their role in flood mitigation, their role in climate change regulation

2. HINU, lack of Tribal/Nation consultation,  and lack of respect for culturally sensitive topics, such as child burial sites, Haskell's history as a residential school, and artifact collection onsite 

3. The City breaking the Development Code and lack of adherence to County/City documents affirming conservation
