Thank you. Anyone else? Any comments from the public?
I don't have it in front of me. Sean, do you know?
I will bring it back to the commission for action.
Second. We have a motion and a second to approve the Third Amendment to the Phase II Development Agreement with Salina Destination Development. All those in favor? Aye. Opposed? That item passes 5-0. That will bring us to item 6.1.
Questions or comments? Does the applicant wish to address the commission?
Any questions for applicant? Any comments from the public? Okay, if not, I will bring it back to the Commission for action.
We have a motion and a second, approving ordinance number 26-11298, annexing the subject property into the City of Salina. May we have a roll call, please?
Aye. That item passes 5-0. Okay, that will bring us to other business. Is there an item a commissioner would like to bring before the group?
So I guess your question was whether we wanted to review our current policy. And I guess I don't think that's a bad idea. to review and familiarize ourselves with it and perhaps familiarize the public with it. The thing that bothers me about some of the things I've seen here recently is what the people on the outside see for our community. Our community is better than that and we need to do better. I know we sit up here and we try to be respectful and we would like to see that work both ways. So
Yeah, and I think, again, I think there is a void there. We've tried some things, and so... I would concur that we have the city manager work on how that would look. And if he needs to work with you, Commissioner Norris, that'd be fine with me to help do that. Because information is knowledge. And I think that's part of our problem right now.
Not quoted here: it may name a member of the public. Hear it at the meeting.
You would give the package to the city clerk, and then she'll get it to us and to the city manager?
Before anybody else comes up, I meant to do this under other business. Have you addressed the RFP and all that with Prairie Paws?
Lucille, just FYI, when we were going through our budgeting process, we moved that roundabout back into 2030.
Okay, it looks like we have an executive session. Do we want to take a five-minute break prior to that? How long do we need?
Hold on just a second. Could we have... Please have a little, even if you're leaving the room, a little quiet so we can read this. Thank you.
Do we have a second? Second. We have a motion and a second to recess into executive session for 20 minutes following a five-minute break to discuss the potential acquisition of specific real estate, the identification of which would be contrary to the public interest based upon the need for a preliminary discussion of the acquisition of real estate pursuant to KSA 75-4319-B6. The open meeting will resume in this room at 7.20. Who will be attending?
All those in favor? Aye. Opposed? We'll be back here at 7.20.
Well, as soon as they come back on, there we go. Okay, we have no further business. Second. We have a motion to say all in favor? Aye. Opposed? See everyone in a couple weeks.
Okay, it is 4 o'clock. I will call the August 24th Salinas City Commission meeting to order. I will look to staff for confirmation the Kansas Open Meeting Act required notice has been properly provided. Yes. Thank you. May we have a roll call?
Here. Will those who are able please stand for the Pledge of Allegiance and a moment of silence.
Thank you. Okay, we have no public hearing, so we'll bring us to the consent agenda.
Okay, is there an item a commissioner would like to have removed? Any comment from the public? I would like to make the comment that we do still have board openings, so anyone who's interested can contact the city clerk's office to apply. All those in favor of approving the consent agenda, I need a motion. I need a motion first. How about a motion?
Second that. We have a motion and a second to approve the consent agenda. All those in favor? Aye. Opposed? That item passes 4-0. That will bring us to administration.
