The Sedgwick County Commissioners are taking their regularly scheduled weekly meeting to the zoo on Tuesday.
It will be the third time this year that the commissioners are holding their public meeting in the evening and at a location within one of the five districts.
Tuesday’s meeting at the Sedgwick County Zoo in west Wichita is in Commissioner Karl Peterjohn’s 3rd District.
The commissioners will get an update on the county projects in the 3rd District, and hear reports on the juvenile justice and criminal justice programs.
Commissioners will also vote on a proposal to rename the former Internal Revenue Service building “The Ronald Reagan Building” in honor of the 40th president of the United States.
The county bought the building in downtown Wichita in 2014 at the cost of $5 million.
The resolution lists Reagan’s economic and diplomatic policies and says the former president’s “leadership and core values represent the ideals of Sedgwick County.”
The meeting will be held Tuesday at the Cargill Learning Center at Sedgwick County Zoo.
The meeting begins at 6 p.m. with a meet and greet, and then the business portion begins at 6:30 p.m.
This meeting will be recorded and aired on KPTS during the regular commission meeting time on Wednesday, Sept. 14.
