City Of Kingman

🚧 Big News for Kingman! 🚧
The City of Kingman was notified today that it has been awarded a $1.5 million grant from KDOT to continue the reconstruction of U.S. Highway 54! This latest funding will support improvements from Broadway to just east of Douglas. This will continue progress to be made through two prior KDOT grants totaling $2.25 million for upcoming U.S. Highway 54 reconstruction from Main to Broadway.
This is the third KDOT grant awarded to Kingman for U.S. 54 reconstruction — and with the City responsible for only 5% in matching funds, it’s a major win for our community’s infrastructure and budget. 🛣️💰
This is just another example of City staff working to find grant money for projects. Thank you to KDOT for helping to keep Kingman A Great Place to Land!

KDOT will be hosting a meeting on July 30 at the Expo Center to present information about the long-awaited Kingman Bypass for U.S. 54. The meeting will be from 4:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. The QR Code on the flyer will take you to the KDOT website for more information about the bypass.

Just a reminder that City offices will be closed on Friday, July 4th.
Hope everyone has a safe and fun Independence Day!

The fireworks season is upon us as a community. We wanted to make sure everyone understood the local rules that govern fireworks in the city limits with the changes that occurred in state legislation this year. These ordinances are included in this post. In summary, legal fireworks (those purchased from fireworks stands) can be discharged from 6 a.m. to 12 a.m. (midnight) from June 27 to July 4. However, one may possess legal fireworks year round now, but the discharge dates and times are unchanged. Everyone please be safe with fireworks and be sure children are properly supervised when fireworks are being discharged!

The big party on Sherman will kick off at 6 p.m. Preparations are underway. The live music and food trucks are ready for the crowds!

This snake would like to apologize for the power disruption last night at the tie line substation.

Public Works will be opening the limb pile west of the shooting range by Noon today. The site will be open for two week. Remember, ONLY tree limbs are allowed. No other material is allowed, even if wood (lumber, fencing, etc.).

Just a reminder that the next City Commission meeting will be TUESDAY, June 24 at 7 p.m. Utility hearings will be held at 6 p.m. on this date as well for customers needing to make payment arrangements on past due bills.

That very loud clap of thunder on Saturday was our water tower taking a direct lightning strike. It did a number on the tower's electrical system, but City staff had an immediate response to keep the tower functioning and water flowing. Initial repairs were done with more still needed. Many thanks to our staff members for their hard work on their day "off."

In observance of Juneteenth, City offices and General Public Transportation will be closed Thursday, June 19, 2025.

Many thanks to the Kingman High School Football Team for moving three pallets of donated toys for our Childcare Zones Grant through the Kansas Department of Health and Environment!

Your eyes do not deceive you! The pictures are in fact of a Budweiser Truck parked outside of the Kingman Fire Station. And yes, that is a pallet of cans off of the Budweiser truck. However, those cans are full of water. Special thanks to Anheuser-Busch and the National Volunteer Fire Council for their generous donation of a pallet of clean drinking water for our fire department, which will be shared with our county partners. The 2,352 cans of water will help our firefighters stay hydrated when it's needed the most!

Due to the active weather and rain, we will keep the limb collection site behind the firing range open until Monday, June 9. The hours will remain 8 a.m. to 7 p.m.

We are proud of our newest police officers, Andrew Knudsen and Kyle Mandeville, who graduated from the Kansas Law Enforcement Training Center last Friday. They have started their duties on our police force this week. Congrats, Andrew and Kyle!

We are happy to say that the resident that dumped the privacy fence in the tree limb pile was found and removed the fencing material from the pile. As a result, the dump area for branches is back open.
