A proposal to dissolve the Manhattan Urban Area Planning Board and replace it with a new Manhattan planning board with expanded duties and Pottawatomie County representation prompted questions from Riley County commissioners Monday about the city’s annexations into Pott County and the potential impact on county residents and services.
Riley County commission chairwoman Kathryn Focke on Monday questioned why county-appointed representatives should have a role in planning decisions involving another county.
“I do have a problem with Pottawatomie County being included in the whole planning area,” she said.
