This series contains topical records used in various board and commission meetings concerning the operation of the City of Lawrence. Many of the records reference agenda items and issues brought before the City Commission by various boards, commissions, and sub-committees. This series also includes records concerning possible city development projects and zoning.

These materials arrived at Spencer Library loosely grouped by issue topics within the three terms Rundle served as a city commissioner. Spencer staff imposed some organization on this series to help create easier access to collection records, including grouping issue topics and the papers of individual city boards and commissions together, while maintaining the chronological distinctions between each of Rundle's terms. As certain records encompass multiple topics and city boards, staff used their best judgement in grouping the records by the predominant topic or city board. Original titles were largly kept and any staff descriptive work with folder titles is marked within [brackets]. This series may overlap and contain duplicative material from other series in the collection.
