No description available.
ch all right so uh let's go ahead and get
this shindig started floor is yours Mr manager most recent yeah whatever I I got the Grays don't worry about
that yeah heavy as a head where the crown rest right all right thank you well I look twice as old
as you Becky don't yes I do well okay so um page one um we have uh two folks on the public agenda
uh nothing to highlight on page two on page three number one of Unfinished Council business would
approve 18 180-day option for the city's purchase of Park Elementary School for the development of
the Mac does does that give us time to negotiate the price I mean 50 cents is less than $1 so um
okay the price is established in the option okay Bob can I ask a question so if this passes Tuesday
then it goes to the state and we anticipate their up to 45 day process but hopefully not that long
correct so will we immediately begin and I might ask this Tuesday just so the communities clear
because people have asked me will we immediately be able to begin the zoning change and such or do
we have to wait until the state makes a decision so the zoning change has been filed I think as of
yesterday and we're anticipating that that will go to mapc I believe in August and comes to the
council oh July excuse me July okay thank you and then it comes to the council the very beginning of
September right late okay okay because they have to go MC and then the we have environmental review
that's probably the most important okay okay thank you the um Council uh new Council business
item number one would approve a reduction of the boundaries for the chicken and pickles
CID is this the first thing we've ever done a reduction in boundaries it is since I've been
here I have a recollection we took some property out of a CID once before okay okay this is the
we when we voted on this two weeks ago was just to open the public hearing to set a date set
the date for the public hearing public hearing that will continue on correct y number two would
approve a Grant application and awards from the state of Kansas for cyber security hardware
and software is this just a coincidence in timing I believe it is is it here I I believe
it was okay okay yeah um on the planning agenda number one would consider a request to allow
outdoor entertainment for a property owner in the vicinity of Tyler in West 21st Street
there were petitions filed u in opposition on page four number two that I mentioned that's
District Five um number two is District Four that's a zoning change uh I believe there was one
protest petition filed and then number three is a continuation of an item was brought to
you on June 18th for a setback vacation that's all I have on that page
I don't have anything on page five Page 6 3A um would approve
a contract for the identification of options for the use of the existing
main water treatment plant um so we'll be bringing recommendations after
the Consultants finish with their work uh number four it would approve an
agreement for design of the new Patrol West facility P that's all on page six on page seven
number six would approve public art design for the West link Library project number seven would
approve a memorandum of understanding with the VA in United Way for two-year funding of the
veterans ride Transit free program which has been very successful yeah and I might pull that
item just for the recognition I'm in the greater witch area veterans advocacy board and we were
working even with Senators Moran and Marshall and Congressman Estus trying to secure funding and
we now that we have this security for a little bit we'll continue to seek additional funding some
folks within that advocacy board um said that if if this program went away it could tip some of
our most vulnerable veterans into homelessness because they might not be able to get to a job
they might have to you know now pay for the bus and then they can't pay their rent and so this
is just a tremendous partnership between the VA and United Way so super grateful and thankful
and want to make sure they get some recognition well said that's all I have on page seven on
page eight number nine would approve a grant Award with uh from the FAA for an update of
the Eisenhower airport master plan so that's to start that work that's all I have other
than to note that I think you have an alumni in the audience like was a new staff member and
I thought oh wow W I'm not sure what we're doing on our review process but yep I'd like to uh
recognize uh former council member Brian fry a two-term councilman here so um always good
to see him back around and I hope your badge works for all all the floors that you need to to
visit during your time up here so uh with that any further questions all right well everybody have
a good weekend and stay cool out there right d
