The public is welcome to audit this meeting in accordance with the Kansas Open Meetings Act (KOMA). This is not a convening of the Governing Body, but rather a convening of the working group, who alongside coach Brianna Sylver, are working to develop effective solutions to address homelessness in Topeka in a proactive and thoughtful way.
No public comment will be accepted during the meeting. Those who attend must simply audit and may not detract from the working group’s discussions.
