Parsons City Commission Convenes Feb. 16, Covers Municipal Business and Hearings

The Parsons City Commission made the Feb. 16, 2026 regular meeting available on Vimeo as the official meeting video, and the city report noted the session “covered municipal business and public hearing items.” The report fragment preserved with the video states that typical agenda elements include public comment and departmental reports, ending with the incomplete phrase “or,” leaving the full list of agenda components unspecified.

Regular meeting logistics are unchanged: the Commission meets at 6 p.m. on the first and third Mondays of every month in the City Commission Room at 112 S. 17th St., Parsons, KS 67357. Commission Work Sessions convene at 4:30 p.m. on the Thursday BEFORE the first and third Mondays of every month in the City Commission Room listed in city materials as 112 S. 17th, Parsons, KS 67357. The two address formats appear on the city site fragments and are recorded verbatim in city navigation content.
