Manhattan city commissioners on Tuesday unanimously agreed to move forward with plans for an installation at the Union Pacific Depot to honor former legislator, city commissioner and retired physician Roger Reitz.
Reitz, 93, was a member of the Kansas Senate from 2005 to 2013. He also served in the Kansas House from 2002 to 2005. In addition to his time on the city commission, Reitz served on the Manhattan-Ogden USD 383 school board.
Parks and recreation director Aaron Stewart said Reitz was “a significant contributor to the restoration of the depot.”
