The new Patton Junior High School is set to open in August 2022. The approval of a two-year construction plan by the Unified School District 207 school board was made during the monthly board meeting Nov. 25 in MacArthur Elementary School’s cafeteria. The board was presented with two courses of action by Mike Burson, project construction manager with Titan Construction LLC. The two-year completion timeline was weighed against a three-year completion timeline and, while both had advantages, it was determined that the benefits of a shorter construction time would outweigh the benefits of a longer construction time. “I would not have presented a schedule or a course of action tonight that is not something that myself and Titan believes is doable,” Burson said. “If you were to look at the detail of each schedule, we have built in some unforeseen condition time including weather and other unknowns into the schedule. …I’m a very conservative scheduler.”

Advantages to a twoyear projection timeline include the school opening sooner; it will cost $100,000 less in Titan general conditions; there will be less construction administration costs from Hollis+Miller Architects; it will relieve over-crowding at Bradley Elementary School because all sixthgraders throughout the district will move to Patton; and there will be less of an impact on the district administration’s time. Disadvantages to the two-year timeline include a higher construction bank loan total of more than $1 million in interest (if it is not paid off earlier than eight years); the construction loan total will be approximately $5 million higher because of one-less year of Impact Aid funding; and the current labor shortage in the Kansas City area might limit subcontractor competition. No matter the fluctuation in bank loans and interest, the “All In” guaranteed maximum price for completion is $55 million. Though the board approved the two-year timeline, Myron Griswold, board president, did request the addition of safety

concerns with the current Patton and the operation of the current Patton for the additional year be added to the decision matrix for future discussions. It is expected that the twoyear timeline will still be the best course of action with those additions. For the two-year construction timeline, demolition of the former MacArthur Elementary School building is scheduled to begin April 2020, with an overall construction completion date of mid-July 2022. The completion date includes the moving in of all furniture and equipment, Burson said. In addition to briefing board members, Keith Mispagel, superintendent of schools, said he briefed Garrison Commander Col. Harry Hung and Garrison Command Sgt. Maj. Antwone Jones about the projected courses of action during an earlier meeting, and they agreed to the twoyear timeline. The board will continue to receive updates at future board meetings.

Joint gathering shares SHARP knowledge Katie Peterson | Staff Writer

Sexual Harassment/Assault Response and Prevention professionals across the military gathered for a joint SHARP Training and Education Solutions Workshop Nov. 19-21 at the SHARP Academy. Though it was the third annual workshop for the SHARP Academy, for the first time it was open to all branches of service. “All the services are sharing our approaches (to SHARP training) with the goal of identifying and sharing our lessons learned and best practices so that we can learn from each other and take good aspects of how they do it … and see if it’ll apply to our own efforts,” said Col. Christopher Engen, SHARP Academy director. The Department of Defense Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Office sets guidelines for all the services to follow, and then each service execute them in its own ways, Engen said. Eugene Purvis, deputy chief of Basic Officer Leadership Course at the Center of Initial Military Training in Fort Eustis, Va., said he thought bringing the services together to talk about SHARP training practices was a good idea. “Maybe they are doing something or they have some ideas that (the Army) doesn’t have that we can work on, or something

that we’re doing that we can share with them,” Purvis said. “In the Army we have preached across the board, ‘One Army. One Standard.’ … If you got one training (for all services), you’ve got one standard, and I think that is a good thing.”

The workshop began with briefings from DoD SAPRO representative Suzanne Holroyd, senior prevention program manager, who spoke about upcoming changes to SHARP training. Holroyd also asked for feedback from the services about the timeframe

it takes to incorporate new policies into their training. Then, representatives from each branch of service briefed attendees on their service’s programs. The last two days included working group discussions addressing a memo from the secre-

tary of Defense and DoD SAPRO to begin developing preventionfocused training topics and ideas at the junior officer and junior enlisted levels. Engen gave the brief on behalf SEE SHARP WORKSHOP | A2

MCTP officers selected for battalion command program Capt. Orlando Howard | Mission Command Training Program

The Army recently selected 16 officers from its deployable combat training center, Mission Command Training Program, to attend the new Battalion Commanders’ Assessment Program. The new program will help determine the Army’s next battalion commanders. It will take place over five days in multiple iterations during January and February 2020 at Fort Knox, Ky. The process will help establish the officers’ ranking to be considered for the coveted positions. They will test on written and verbal communication, interview with behavioral psychologists, and take part in a panel interview with senior Army officers, according to the Army Management Task Force. Gen. James McConville, the Army’s new chief of staff, officially announced the program at the Association of the U.S Army an-

nual conference last month. “We spend more time and more money on selecting a private to be in Ranger regiment than we do selecting what I would argue is one of the most consequential leadership positions in the Army — our battalion commanders,” McConville said, speaking about the rationale for the program. MCTP will deliver an outsized contribution of candidates to the program. Five lieutenant colonels and 11 promotable majors were selected. Most serve as observer, coach/trainers dedicated to increasing the readiness of Army service component commands, corps, divisions and brigade combat teams through large-scale military warfighter exercises. “I’ve always considered myself very fortunate to serve alongside these talented field-grade officers on this outstanding team,” said Col. Shane Morgan, MCTP’s commander. “BCAP selection proves the Army recognizes their

leadership and command potential. “MCTP wishes each of our 16 officers the best, as they compete against the best, with the reward of commanding soldiers at the battalion level,” he said. Lt. Col. Steven Weber, MCTP’s chief of operations, of Winthrop, Minn., was selected for class 11 out of 18. “I didn’t think BCAP would take effect this quickly. So, when I came in that morning and saw my name on the list, it was a surprise,” Weber said. He said the numerous congratulations he received on Facebook made it even more real. “BCAP is a step in the right direction,” Weber said. “I like the fact that the Army recognizes that talent management should be taken very seriously. “This will shape how the Army selects its senior leaders, which is critical because they have a drastic impact on the future of the Army and young soldiers coming in,” he said. “BCAP can help ensure we’re fit to

lead the nation’s young men and women.” Weber pointed specifically to the potential BCAP has to help preclude toxic leadership from the Army’s formations. “We must select the right people for the right

reasons,” he said. Lastly, Weber was optimistic about the opportunity BCAP gives candidates to compete, who may not otherwise receive a high ranking with just a paper review. “It levels the playing

field. I personally don’t have a perfect record with all As on my report card,” he said. “This gives everyone who has the ability a fair shot and equal opportunity to succeed.”

of the Army. He talked about how the Army satisfies DoD requirements through learning that occurs in schools, units and organizations across the Army, and how the Army prepares its sexual assault and response coordinators and its victim advocates. “We’re the only service that has a dedicated academy, so our SARCs and VAs within the Army come to the six-week course that we deliver here in this building,” Engen said. Cindy Stewart, senior Sexual Assault Prevention and Response program analyst for the Navy, which is based out of Arlington, Va., gave the brief on behalf of the Navy. Stewart talked about how the Navy’s training program develops as sailors advance through the ranks into leadership roles. She also emphasized the Navy’s efforts to create a “culture of excellence.” “We’re trying to look at different destructive behaviors and see how those destructive behaviors are interrelated. We’re trying to make sure that, when we’re using

people’s time, they are getting the most out of their time,” Stewart said. “We still have problems and issues with sexual assault and sexual harassment. It is not going away. “We’re putting a lot of money and time and energy and resources into these programs. Congress, and the American people, expect more from the services. They expect us to have a higher standard, live to a higher standard, but then we’re a product of society, so we have to undo,” she said. “We get (the service members) after the first 18 years of their life, so it is about whatever training and what we can do different to shift that thinking and make sure people are living and working in a respectful environment that is promoting trust and dignity and respect.” Susi Eisenbarth, Center for Army Profession and Leadership instructional design team lead, agreed with the Navy’s mindset. “At CAPL, our focus is on leader development and what type of Army values are impor-

tant and how do we actually explain those to our soldiers, and how do soldiers live by the Army values,” Eisenbarth said. “If you have a positive climate in an organization you then shift automatically to, hopefully, less sexual assault and less sexual harassment because it all goes back to if you have a toxic environment that can lead to damaging behaviors in a unit.” Meghan Root, education and training manager for U.S. Air Force Headquarters’ Integrated Resilience Office at the Pentagon, provided the Air Force brief. Root talked about training for SARCs and VAs as well as training across the force, and training projects currently in development. One such program is the Cadet Healthy Personal Skills program (CHiPS) at the U.S. Air Force Academy in Colorado. “One of the benefits that we have as the military that other settings don’t have is we do have policies and senators and leadership that takes this issue very seriously and says, ‘You have to do something about it,’” Root said.

“(All the services) have the same mission and that is to help survivors and decrease perpetration of sexual violence and educate folks on the impact of sexual violence on our mission as well as our culture as a whole. “There is still so much work to be done, but we’re not alone in doing it,” she said. “We all really care. We just have different approaches to it, and learning from each other is always beneficial.” Christina Gonzalez, prevention and response assistant branch head of the U.S. Marine Corps Headquarters’ Behavioral Programs in Quantico, Va., provided the Marine Corps brief. Gonzalez said the Marine Corps has three different types of SARCs, including command SARCs, installation SARCs and force SARCs. The Marine Corps also provides rank-specific annual training and pre-command workshops. “We do facilitate a training with role-plays and breakout groups with colonel mentors who mentor the new lieutenant

Social norms keep changing.

If we can’t keep up, or at least try to keep up, we get behind. “Being able to continue to develop and get new ways of teaching the same things, it really benefits people on having more respect and that enhances readiness, that enhances deployability,” she said. “Ultimately, for me, I see it as like a mettle of international security because a ready force makes a safer world.”

CAC welcomes first liaison officer from Mexico Tisha Swart-Entwistle | Combined Arms Center Public Affairs

In June 2019, Lt. Col. Ezequiel Monjaraz and his family joined scores of other military families when they moved to Fort Leavenworth. For Monjaraz and the Combined Arms Center, this was not the typical military move. Monjaraz moved from Mexico City to Kansas to serve as the first international liaison officer to CAC from Mexico. Bob Greene, director of the International Liaison Program at CAC, said the idea for a liaison officer from Mexico embedded somewhere in the U.S. Army came up more than a year ago. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In looking broadly at what their (Mexican Armed Forces) target areas were â&#x20AC;&#x201D; leadership, development, education and specifically doctrine â&#x20AC;&#x201D; CAC was the best fit,â&#x20AC;? Greene said. The ILO program was established to facilitate the mutual exchange of information within the CAC core functions, Greene said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve done is try to solidify that in order to increase interoperability,â&#x20AC;? Greene said. According to his records, Greene said there have been liaison officers around CAC since the mid-1960s and the program was formalized in 2009.

School board mentary School added an Educational Dome Theater. In 2012, the hardware and software components were updated from Spitz to SkySkan. Over the last seven years, the technology has required more frequent maintenance and upkeep. Therefore, Mispagel and Rich Holden, USD 207 chief financial officer, briefed the board with three possible courses of action during the Oct. 28 board meeting at the board office. The courses of action included maintaining the current hardware, slowly replacing hardware and software components as needed, or upgrading the entire system all at once. The board approved replacing the entire system during the November board meeting as recommended. Advantages to the full system replacement include having state-of-theart projection and

Mexican Armed Forces Liaison Officer Lt. Col. Ezequiel Monjaraz, British Army Liaison Officer Col. James Walker and Fort Leavenworth Garrison Commander Col. Harry Hung listen to announcements during the Leavenworth-Lansing Chamber of Commerce Military and Business Social Nov. 6 at the C.W. Parker Carousel Museum in Leavenworth, Kan. Monjaraz is the first international liaison officer from Mexico embedded with the Combined Arms Center.

Monjaraz is currently scheduled to be here for two years. The agreement with each country is different, but Greene said that each officer is here for at least two years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some countries stay three

and some request extensions,â&#x20AC;? Greene said. Monjaraz said this assignment is a great opportunity for him as well as his country. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is an opportunity to learn and make contacts and share ex-

periences,â&#x20AC;? Monjaraz said. This is not Monjarazâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first assignment as a liaison officer in the United States. In 2014, he served at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t worry, it is much

colder in Ohio right now,â&#x20AC;? Monjaraz said about spending his first winter in Kansas. The international liaison officers donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work for CAC while they are here; they work for their parent country and take direction from their respective military attachĂŠ in Washington, D.C. Greene said he develops an engagement plan so he can expose the officers to what is going on in CAC. The officers also have their own individual engagement plans based on direction from their home countries. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So, really, their duties are to push and pull information,â&#x20AC;? Greene said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Using doctrine as an example, we just got done updating our doctrine, and that is important to our partners because they want to align their doctrine with ours.â&#x20AC;? Greene said he shares the new information that is cleared for release, and the liaisons would then reciprocate. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We get an opportunity for them to reach back to their country and share similar information with us, and we get the opportunity to increase interoperability,â&#x20AC;? Greene said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We strengthen our relationships around the world because we all know that none of us are doing anything by ourselves.â&#x20AC;?

animation in high definition quality, updated and current curriculum activities across all grade levels, and providing flexibility in diverse and additional curriculum programs across subjects and grade levels. Disadvantages include an upfront cost and learning how to use the updated system equipment and software. With the boardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s approval, work is scheduled to begin summer 2020, and training for the new system will also be scheduled.

Normandy Field bathroom upgrade Though USD 207 built the bathroom facilities north of Normandy Field many years ago, the installation is in charge of maintaining them. Therefore, as part of that agreement, the bathrooms are locked each year beginning Nov. 1. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was not winterized,â&#x20AC;? Mispagel said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But now

there is a lot more traffic and use.â&#x20AC;? Because of that, families and other residents often come to the district office to use the restroom, which are not considered public facilities. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a victim of our own success,â&#x20AC;? Holden said. Therefore, Mispagel and Holden recommended that updates be done to the bathrooms, including adding insulation and updating the heating system, so that the bathrooms can be used all year. The board approved the request, which will not exceed $45,000, and the facilities should be open by January 2020.

Semester credit The school district will grant semester credit to transitioning families who depart after Dec. 5, 2019, or after May 8, 2020. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That is two weeks before the last day of semester and two weeks before

the last day of school,â&#x20AC;? Mispagel said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is really based on military orders.â&#x20AC;?

Licensure Recently, Mispagel has had discussions with Kansas Rep. Jeff Pittman, Kansas Lt. Gov. Lynn Rogers and his wife, Kris Rogers, about military spouse licensure in regard to teaching positions in the district. The goal is to expedite licenses in Kansas for military spouses who are licensed in other states, Mispagel said. Mispagel will present a request to the state board of education in February. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are supportive of putting language in licensure that will expedite military spouses. So, if we are interested in hiring a military spouse that has a license in another state, I can call the licensure office, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll pull that out of the time, date stamped pile,â&#x20AC;? Mispagel said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;First in, first out. â&#x20AC;Ś I see that as a

victory for many of our spouses.â&#x20AC;? Additionally, Mispagel will brief Kansas Gov. Laura Kelly Dec. 19 to tell her about impact aid and how it works in Kansas. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Currently, the state gets 70 percent of our impact aid and we get 30 percent. In 47 other states, school districts get 100 percent of the impact aid,â&#x20AC;? Mispagel said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(Kelly has) asked to be briefed on what it looks like in Kansas, why it is that way, and what are some other options, so that is an opportunity that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m pretty excited about.â&#x20AC;? Mispagel said he will continue to update the board during upcoming meetings.

Principalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s report During the meeting, MacArthur Principal Tyler Fowler updated the board about programs and other initiatives happening at the school. The report included a

performance by the Mustang Kickers dance team, a Site Council update by president Allison Fritz and programs that implement the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Learn. Lead. Achieve.â&#x20AC;? initiative.

Holiday closures All district buildings will be closed Dec. 20-26. At that time, all lights will be shut off and the boilers will be lowered to 50 degrees Fahrenheit, with the exception of MacArthur, which runs on a geothermal system. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is an energy-conservation opportunity,â&#x20AC;? Mispagel said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We do the same in the summer.â&#x20AC;? All board meetings are open to the public. For an overview of the meeting and the minutes, visit https://www.boarddocs.co m/ks/usd207/Board.nsf/Pu blic. The next USD 207 board meeting is at 4:30 p.m. Dec. 16 at the board office.

Many opportunities to give in holiday season Katie Peterson | Staff Writer

The holidays are fast approaching, which means the community is busy making travel plans, buying gifts and spending time with family. It is also a time to remember those less fortunate, and Fort Leavenworth has multiple ways residents can give back.

Angel Tree The Better Opportunities for Single Soldiers Angel Tree will be in the Post Exchange lobby Nov. 29 through Dec.18. The Angel Tree, now in its 12th year, is a program intended to help provide holiday gifts to children of activeduty soldiers who are unable to provide gifts for their children themselves. “We have seen what an impact the Angel Tree program has been for military families that just need a hand up for each Christmas season,” said Jeff Honey, BOSS adviser. “We would like to continue to ensure that families know that BOSS would like to provide a way to support the Fort Leavenworth families, big or small, when it comes to having presents under the tree for their children this year. “If we can focus on others’ wants and needs during the holiday season, it gives a different perspective and outlook on our blessings that we have as we spend time with family and friends over the Christmas season,” he said. “I would hope that (donators) would remember back to a time when they may have been going through tough times, and they would feel the hope and joy that someone blessed them to get them through that tough time in their life. It helps us not take family or life for granted, and we capture every second we can with our loved ones this season.” To donate, select a tag from the tree and take it shopping. Purchase an ageand gender-appropriate gift, present the angel tag to the cashier for a 10 percent discount, and place the tag and unwrapped gift in a collection box by the registers by close of business Dec. 18. Angel Tree tags range from newborn to 18 years old. “We ask that (donators) stay as close to that description (on the tag) as possible in order for the children to get what they have requested,” Honey said. For more information or to add a family in need (through Dec. 11), call 684-1703.

Commissary food drive On Nov. 21, volunteers gathered in the stock room of the Fort Leavenworth Commissary to put together 95 holiday meal baskets for families in need for Thanksgiving, a result of donations made by Liberty Fruit Company and Commissary patrons. Now, patrons have an opportunity to help again for

Commissary sales store clerk. “It gives people a good feeling to know that they are helping others out. I purchase, too, and I feel good when I do that.”

Schools

Through Dec. 18, shoppers can select an angel ornament from the Better Opportunities for Single Soldiers Angel Tree, which will be set up in the Post Exchange lobby Nov. 29, and then purchase an age- and gender-appropriate gift for the child described on the ornament. Gift collection boxes will be by the registers. The gift donations will go to local families in financial need.

Christmas. “This time of year is always a little tough for folks, and I think it tends to be a little tougher for our service members. I know we say ‘thank you for your service,’ but I am not sure they really know how much we really appreciate them,” said Regenia Singletary, Fort Leavenworth Commissary manager. “This simple gesture is one way for everyone to express their thanks. A lot of people think if they can’t do something big then ‘why bother,’ but they have no idea that it is the little things that make the

biggest impact. “Don’t stop giving, even if it is a can of food to a shelter or your change to a donation can at the local convenience store,” she said. “Every time you give, you are helping make someone’s day or lifetime.” Christmas baskets will include a ham, stuffing, potatoes and gravy, corn, ingredients for a green bean casserole, sweet potatoes, dinner rolls and cake and cookie mixes. To help, patrons can donate money at the registers or purchase an individual item through Dec. 16. The goal for Christmas is 100-

120 families, Singletary said. “It takes about five patrons to build one basket,” Singletary said. “Our cashiers have done an amazing job promoting the cause and are eager to know if we have reached our goal.” For more information, talk to a Commissary cashier. “(Donating) is important because there are a lot of people out there who are less fortunate than others, so it is our job as federal employees to help people out,” said Lisa Dunn, Fort Leavenworth

Bradley and MacArthur Elementary Schools student councils are adopting families through Catholic Charities for the holidays. The Bradley student council is adopting a family of five, which includes a 9-year-old, an 11-year-old and a 15-year-old. “Encouraging small acts of kindness during the holiday season will teach children that generosity and giving can be one of the best gifts of all,” said Allison Pierce, Bradley student council faculty representative and English as a second language teacher. “Modeling and sharing the importance of giving will inspire students to be kind and charitable as they continue to grow up.” To donate, take a gift tag off the bulletin board by the Bradley front office, purchase the item and return it to the school by Dec. 6. Gifts range from clothing and toys to household items and toiletries. “Every donation, no matter the size, adds up,” said Ally Jackson, Bradley student council faculty representative and fourthgrade teacher. The MacArthur student council is adopting eight families — one for each grade, preschool through sixth grade — for the holidays. Families range from four members to nine. “It is so important for our students to participate in this service project so that they can realize not all families have a home to live in or clothes to wear or toys or food or everyday things that they may take for granted,” said Colleen Hilaire, MacArthur student council faculty representa-

tive and preschool teacher. “This project helps our students to think of others instead of just themselves this holiday season. At the end of the service project, when they see everything we collect, they are all filled with so much joy. They feel happy that they had a part in making someone else’s Christmas special this year.” To donate, MacArthur families can contact their student’s teacher for needed items and return items to the school by Dec. 12. Patton Junior High School’s National Junior Honor Society is also helping Catholic Charities with a warming tree that will be in the Tiger Pit Dec. 2-13. “The warming tree has become a tradition at Patton Junior High and something the students continue to be passionate about,” said NJHS faculty representative Jennifer Heronema, Patton instructional impact coach. “A focus of the NJHS chapter is to stimulate a desire to render service, to promote leadership, to develop character and to encourage good citizenship in the students of secondary schools. “The warming tree allows NJHS students to model leadership and community involvement for students at Patton Junior High,” she said. “Additionally, it is important for students to give during the holidays to remember to help those in need that might not have the conveniences or resources that they have.” Students and families are encouraged to bring canned goods, gloves, hats and coats. All donations can be dropped off at the school office. As holiday plans continue to form, don’t forget about families in need and help any of these projects.

Now, SFL-TAP is offering similar resources to veterans and family members with the addition of team member Dwayne Pratt, Disabled Veterans Outreach Program veterans employment representative. “The people who work in (SFL-TAP) are contracted to assist transitioning military, which excludes the veteran and family community,” said Brett Rosene, SFL-TAP transition services manager. “I have been working with the state for a couple of years now trying to bring in some of their expertise with employment from their workforce part-

how to answer interview questions in a positive manner. Additionally, Pratt said there are training and edu-

cation programs through the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act he can recommend. “Anything they need to help them get a job, we can work with to help them do it,” Pratt said. “If we don’t have the resource readily available right then, we can find somebody that does provide a resource to give them that help.” For example, Pratt said he has worked with Goodwill and the Disabled American Veterans Thrift Store to help veterans shop for appropriate interview attire. He said he hopes to work with local barbershops in the future. “(This service) is needed,” Pratt said. “If we can’t help support the family members then that is one more thing for the soldier to worry about. If we can take that load off and help support the family members also, it is less burden and it helps support the family all to-

gether.” Youths ages 16-24, military spouses, veterans and transitioning service members are eligible to use this service. Pratt is available Monday and Wednesday at the Resiliency Center, 600 Thomas Ave., and Tuesday and Thursday at the Workforce Center, 515 Limit St., Leavenworth, Kan. On Fridays, Pratt will be at either location. “Utilize this resource,” Rosene said. “There are a lot of opportunities that the state provides that we at SFL-TAP are not experts in, but Dwayne is. Initially, Dwayne is here Mondays and Wednesdays, but if we see a demand for his services start to increase, the state Department of Commerce has already stated that they would increase his time here if needed.” For more information, call 684-2539 or (913) 6511855 or e-mail Dwayne.Pratt@ks.gov.

Residents responsible for snow, ice removal Fort Leavenworth Frontier Heritage Communities

Fort Leavenworth Frontier Heritage Communities removes snow and ice from starts, stops, hills, school sidewalks and crosswalks, public sidewalks, roads and parking lots in residential areas only if there are two or more inches on the ground. Residents are responsible for the removal of snow and ice between any common sidewalks or roads and the front or back doors and driveways. During a snowstorm or unsafe weather conditions, snow and ice removal will be delayed until weather conditions return to a safe status. Residents are asked not to use

salt products to de-ice around their homes because it can damage the concrete. For more information about snow and ice removal, see the Resident Guidelines and Community Handbook or call (913) 682-6300.
