City of Wichita

Layton has been serving as Wichita's city manager since 2009.

An analysis by KMUW found the city fined fewer than 200 property owners it took to court between 2019 and 2023 for housing and building code violations.

The new plan removes most references to climate change, greenhouse gases or environmental justice. But many of its goals, outside of the community-wide greenhouse gas reduction target, remain unchanged.

The Multi Agency Center Board Inc. will take over operations of the current emergency winter shelter on April 1, the first step in establishing the multi-agency center.

The plan sets a target of reducing community-wide greenhouse gas emissions by 50% from a 2021 baseline within the next 10 years.

The city says nearly 77,000 records, including incident and traffic reports, were breached during the attack.

The for-profit and nonprofit developers will ultimately sell or rent the homes to low-income households.

Botanica is exempt from the city’s outdoor water usage restrictions but is attempting to cut back by 10% anyway.

The city of Wichita set aside $5 million in COVID recovery money for an Affordable Housing Fund, which is meant to fund the renovation of public housing units. The city is currently selling its single-family public housing units.

About one-third of the city’s 352 single-family public housing units were still occupied as of last December. The city is offering housing vouchers to the tenants who have to move.
