City pool tops discussions, decisions, and donations, for the year – Year in Review 2022

Looking back at the top stories published each year in the Pratt Tribune is always a trip down memory lane. Sometimes it is hard to believe all that has happened in just one year, other times it’s just hard to understand how time flew by so quickly. Sometimes looking back at a year in review helps one understand the bigger picture, the slice of life, all that we have to be thankful for here in Pratt, the Gateway to the High Plains.

Improvement district created for Sandy Creek Addition

After months of consideration, the City of Pratt passed ordinance 2215 creating a Community Improvement District for the Sandy Creek Addition. The community improvement district is allowed to levy ‘specials,’ special taxes or fees, from the area within the district in order to fund special projects for the improvement of properties within the district. “This is something we’ve been working on for quite a while. It is a necessary part of the game plan for Sandy Creek and the specials,” Mayor Deeds said.

IN MEMORIUM

We share these names of those who passed in the year 2022, as published in the Pratt Tribune, Kiowa County Signal and St. John News.
