Description: These classes are for those wanting to know how City government really works.

Other topics covered will be Police and Fire (“It’s Hot in Topeka”), Water Production (“Refreshingly Topeka”), Planning and Development Services (“Building Blocks”), and challenges with Code Compliance and Housing and Neighborhood Development issues (“It’s a Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood”). Exciting activities and visits (including the Zoo and Gage Park) are planned. The first of eight weekly sessions is Wednesday, June 11 and the last is July 30. Graduation will be Tuesday, August 5, at the City Council meeting.
