City Council - Regular Meeting

This council meeting will now come to order on May the 19th, 2026 at 6.30 p.m. Would you please stand for the Pledge of Allegiance and remain standing for the invocation, Reverend Buddy Cook with the Wellington Nazarene Church.

I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America,

Reverend? Let's pray.

Lord, we thank you again for this evening of business that's going to be taken care of. We thank you for our leaders, for the effort that they put forth to prepare all the things that need to be done to care for our community, for our city. Lord, we thank you, Lord. I was reminded that last time I prayed, Lord, we asked for rain on this side of the interstate. And, Lord, we thank you that you brought it to us. And so we pray that you would give us the appropriate amount in the days ahead. Just bless this evening. May your presence be sensed. May your will be done in Jesus' name. Amen.

Amen. Thank you, River. Heidi, can I get a roll call, please?

Sure. Ms. Antonich gave prior notice that she would not be here. Mr. Elmore?

Here.

Ms. Grace? Here. Mr. Hay?

Here.

Ms. Lucas? Here. And Mr. Westmoreland also gave prior notice he would be absent tonight. Mayor Soria?

I am also here.

Yes, I'd like to make an amendment to the agenda regarding a street closing.

You need a second.

I second.

Motion and second. Do we get a motion?

Just say all those in favor.

All those in favor? Aye. All those opposed? All right. Audience participation. Kelley College Sumner Campus Update. Zach Cooper, Director of Sumner Campus. Zach?

Good afternoon, everyone. Glad to see you all here. So last Friday, we actually just concluded our spring semester. So as we get ready to prepare for our summer, a couple of things I want to make sure everyone is aware of. Starting June 1st through July 31st, Cali College, all campuses will actually go to our summer hours. And so we will be opening Monday through Thursday at 7 a.m. and closing at 4.30. We will be closed on Fridays. And again, that's from June 1st through July 31st. Other than that, we'll get ready for our summer classes starting on June 1st. There's still time to enroll, so if you know anyone or even if yourself would like to take some classes, reach out to us. We'll talk about what classes are being offered for fall and summer and see what we can do to get you into those classes. Fall classes will start August 18th, since I mentioned about fall enrollment as well. We are still planning to do some events with Wheat Festival moving forward. Drone Dash and Perplex and Puzzle will be hosted and sponsored by Cali College on our Sumner campus. So I challenge you all to get a team together to compete in Perplex and Puzzle. And even if you have some kids, come out and do some flying of drones and see how they compete in a race for a couple of different prizes. It's a great time. And then we also help sponsor the kiddie tractor pool. To kind of end it, doing a quick update today, I just wanted to take a real quick moment to say thank you for those who helped out for the robotics competition that we had. Really, without your guys' help and support, whether you're just there to help motivate the kids to keep on going or you're there judging, You really did help make an impact on those middle schoolers as they were there. This was the largest group we've had so far with over 200 kids over the two days. And we're making plans for next year on how we can better serve those individuals. So thank you deeply, deeply, deeply. Thank you for your help.

All right. Any questions? Okay, Zach.

You guys have a good rest of your day. Thank you.

Next we have the consent of agenda approval of minutes approval appropriations receive the council correspondence.

Move to approve.

We have a motion a second all those in favor. All those opposed. All right, let's start going with the reports of Marin Council. I'll start with Councilman.

Yeah, I just want to thank Reverend Cook for the invocation, and I also want to thank Jason and his folks. I know you guys have been busy, saw you out and about, and some late nights and long days, I'm sure. So thanks for what you guys are doing and getting those leaks taken care of. That's all I have, Mayor.

Councilman Grayson.

I'd like to thank both of you two, or everyone in the city, for everything that you've done. Because you have been putting in extra hours. And Jason, for your crew, going out to Winfield to help out there. I was in Winfield this morning.

Actually, we're responding in the morning. We've got everything lined out. We're going to respond at 7 o'clock in the morning. But yeah, they got hit pretty hard last night.

They got hit real hard.

Good neighbors. We'll help them out.

And it's appreciated because, again, I was in Winfield this morning, and they need help. So thank you. Okay.

Councilman Harris.

A couple things. Jeff, how is the housing incentive package going? Are you talking about the –

what we talked about coming up with the... Well, as you may recall, some of the discussion centered around working with economic development to put a grant application together for that state grant to... try to put together that program uh so we're working with partners economic development to try to do that um so we're going to try to leverage our dollars and also try to help the entire county attract residences if that wasn't the correct takeaway from that meeting i apologize but um that seemed to be the direction we were going i thought we were going to come up with some kind of you were to get with staff and come up with some kind of package I mean, that was kind of what station economic development were posing was that we would participate and offer like utility incentives and all that kind of thing as part of that attraction package we were going to put to the state. But if you want to go alone, I'll work on that.

I would still like to see something. I don't know about the rest of the council. That's the council.

Yeah, that's kind of my take away from it also. So definitely discuss it more though.

I'm happy with that.

That was mine also. So do we need another work session or not? or change our focus. I went away with what all of you went away with it. I'd prefer not to have another work session.

I mean, Tim, would you like another one? I don't think we need another work session.

I just need to fine tune the Senate we have now maybe and get it back out there.

That's the direction I will get with staff and we will change direction.

I Didn't want you to change direction just one of this Yeah What would you like I guess I'm not clear we saw what we had back in whatever year that was Maybe we get that keep it and get it back out there to public

But I guess I'm confused as to what specifically you're hoping to see included.

Well, we had an incentive for moving here and building a house or buying a house. I remember the paper he gave us. Yeah, that.

But wouldn't some of that be, I mean, kind of part of the cooperative that they're trying to develop?

Yes.

Yeah. That's what we're talking about tonight.

Yeah, I mean, that's... Okay, we'll just bypass that.

So here's what I'll do. We will develop a plan. I don't know that I'll have it done ahead of the June 1 deadline for applying to the state for the grant that we discussed in the meeting. But I guess in the off chance, or I don't know, I don't know how competitive it's going to be, that we don't get approved, then we'll have our own program. But, you know, we'll... I will work diligently to duplicate efforts. How about that?

Yeah. Okay. I know budget time is coming up. At least I want to. I don't know about the rest of the council. Can I get five years back for each department what they have full-time and part-time people? It's usually on the annual budget. I think we have the full-time and part-time listed, but I'd like to see what the five-year history was.

Yes.

So I'm just going to say, when stuff like this is asked, I don't provide it to only one. You all get it.

That's it.

I don't have anything to say. Thank you.

OK. Well, I've got a couple of things. Maybe three. OK.

I've got four, really.

There's been some miscommunication on the weed notice. So Jeremy or Jamie, I've seen stuff where like, well, they're not even sending us notices and they just come out, which that's hard for me to believe. So somebody just let everybody know how you work the weed notice.

Mr. Mayor, council, regarding weed notices, we go out each week. Co-compliance officer goes and takes patrol, gathers what are in violation, comes back and he'll start putting them together, start looking at the Register of Deeds office, putting ownership together, and then we send those out. Now, what the crux of it, most of this is, is because we are bound by state statute to publish. Now, we don't have an everyday paper And so what we find in this week does not get published until the following week. So they get a lapse of time. So we require 10 days, and then we're going to send them to our mowers. But in all actuality, they get 14 days, maybe even more. Now, when those mowings do go to our city mowers to go mow, we work from oldest to newest. So that's how we work them. And so just, you know, we try to get them on them. Jeremy's crew does a heck of a job to get on them when they can. But remember, we do have our city parks, city. right of ways that we have to do that are priority before we can get to these unless we have a, unless Jeremy has a designated crew to go out there and do these. So just bear with us and we try to get them as fast as we can. But remember, you know, they're going to be growing. That's what the weather dictates. And usually they start settling down once July hits and when the dog days get here and it gets hot. But we just got to make it through and And that's what we do. Um, now when we get to, if it's in violation again, now we don't have to publish. We just send them right to the, to the, and they get to, they get to get them again. And it's a little quicker, but we've got to give them that, that due process that they, that they get.

Okay. So basically they're on the books.

And I do want to, I do want to bring to your attention that notice is good till the end of the year. So we could go mow it. It's still active. Just because they went out and we told them, hey, you need to mow their grass, they mow it. We're still looking at it because it's on our list. And if it's in violation any time, then we're going to send it to the mowers, and we don't have to notice them up because you've already noticed. It's on the original that they get sent.

Okay. Anything, Jeremy, you want to add?

If anyone's saying they're not getting that notice, there's a couple possibilities. I believe that those are sent out registered mail per statute, and that is to the owner, not necessarily the tenant. So if these are rental properties, the renter, the tenant may not be seeing that notice, which is one of the reasons they get published.

So there's a problem right there.

Yeah.

Okay. Right. I would advise there's a lot of young kids are looking to mow yards, uh, $25, 30 versus what is it? First time, a hundred and 150, 150 do the math folks. There's kids out there that want to work. So yes, sir. Okay. Thank you. I appreciate that.

Anything from council on this?

Okay. Uh, next I have, uh, Jeremy, I went out to the prairie lawn today. It looks really, really good. It's going to look really good for this weekend. So I talked to one of them out there and told them that I just wanted to drive out there and everything's looking good. So kudos to the gentleman out there working. And I believe you have a lady out there, so I don't want to leave her out, okay? And then... Swim pool. We're ready for it. Correct.

Uh, so Jason just kind of asked me a question on that.

Uh, Jason's laughing. I don't know about that.

Yeah.

Uh, yes, we're, we're, uh, tying up loose ends, but we, we started filling, uh, late last week, uh, finished out over the weekend. I believe that our chemicals are balanced. Everything seems to be running fine. But as Jason said, you didn't find any unexpected leaks. No, we did not. So yeah, we've got the finishing touches, putting umbrellas and canopies up. But the water system seems to be working well right now. Splash pad is actually ready to open.

OK.

Uh, so we're just kind of, you know, wait until the temperatures get sure. You know, sixties this week, you didn't expect that, but, um, and you might notice that, uh, there's a new surface on that splash pad. It's not just the bare concrete this year. So kind of leave that as a teaser. If you want to go out and look at it, uh, you'll see some different coating, different color on it.

So, okay.

Uh, we should be. Uh, raring to go on the 29th for opening day. Okay.

Is, is recreation department has enough lifeguards? I know all over the place where they don't have enough lifeguards, so they're doing all right.

The report that Cody provided, uh, park board last week, uh, he is, uh, Kind of at his minimum number, as far as preference of lifeguards. The last, I think, two or three weeks, they've been sending, I think there was 28 to certification. So that's kind of the minimum number he'd like to see. They usually have more and end up running at 28. So we'll see how that goes.

I've seen something where a few remarks saying, well, they always open on Memorial Day, but again, that is not on us. I think Cody's still trying to get his lifeguards going and everything, correct?

If I remember correctly, maybe school's getting out just a little bit later.

Yeah.

So that plays into it, the availability for staffing and a number of things.

Okay, but I know that, yeah, Councilman Hayes is saying that there is a shortage of staff seen something on the news last week where even Wichita and all those places are having a hard time trying to find lifeguards.

And I certainly don't want to speak for Cody and the rec center, but I would imagine if anyone's still interested, they may contact them and see what can be done there.

I can remember years ago where kids just wanted to get up and sign up and be a lifeguard. And now times have changed. But anyhow, OK, so that's all marked off. A memorial day weekend folks. I would like to see a lot of folks show up on the last year we had a lot of people show up some of the city workers were there there were on their own time and anyhow, I'd like to see some of the council show up. I know Jan you're going to be out of town, but it is it is you just need to be there and and just It's emotional. And we have to remember that every flag out there represents somebody that has died for our freedom or passed away later on in life, but they have fought for our freedom. And we need help on Monday taking them down. Last year we had a we were surprised that we had a lot of folks show up in it. We had him down and hope on our hour and a half normally takes longer than that. But folks please we need we need your support we need your volunteer so please show up out there I would they start racing flags of 8. but a lot of the folks start getting there at 7.15, 7.30, and it's just something that once you do it, you'll be back. I've been doing it for the last 30-some years plus, and it never gets old. So we need your help, and it's just show up, please. Thank you.

Saturday.

This Saturday. This Saturday. Anyhow. All right, let's see. That's all I have. And I just, Jeremy, I want to thank you guys for being out today. I seen they were cutting some trees down that did get blown over. And Jason, I know you guys have been busy. So thanks to all your crew. And Jason, thank you for sending the group to Winfield tomorrow. I was going to ask you about that, but Jan beat me to it. But it's like you say, it's a neighborly thing to do because we never know when it's going to hit us. So I want to thank everybody for doing what they have to do. Okay. Let's move on. Reports of city officials. Jeff?

We have a street closing request for a new event that's going to go along with Wheat Fest. It's a kiddie parade that will involve bicycle decorations and potential prizes. And it's going to be... over uh by the yellow building um new addition we'll see how it works um they seem excited about it i need a motion motion motion to approve second have a motion a second all those in favor aye aye all those opposed okay heidi you're up

Let's see, I'm up twice. So the first one was a park board application. So mayor and council, I regret to inform you that yesterday I got a phone call that Mr. Templeton was withdrawing his application due to some health concerns. Okay.

Was he the only one? Yes.

Oh, okay.

We're bypassing that one.

Okay. So we start all over again on that then? Mm-hmm.

So I'll put that back out maybe the first of June. If you keep it out there all the time, sometimes people become immune to looking at it. So if you leave it for a little bit and then maybe re-advertise later, you might get somebody. So the second one is Combined Trade Board. We, if you recall, we put out the annual public notice and local media sent out to everybody in February and ended on March 20th. However, we didn't receive any applications for the combined trade board. We had multiple openings. However, one application was received from Chad Leonard. He's a mechanical contractor. So per council procedure, if only one application is received, we can review it. and approve the application tonight if you so choose. Combined trade board only meets as needed. So if you guys are okay with that, we need a motion to appoint and a second. This will fill the remainder of the term for the mechanical contractor that began April 1. So it'll go through, or May 1, sorry, May 1. It'll go through April 30th of 2030. It's a four-year term.

Yes. So this board seems to have been FBO. Isn't it something we have to

It is required under the building code. They are the venue for appeals if they disagree with Mr. Cornejo's interpretation of the applicable codes. That's why there's members who are supposed to be in the various trades like plumbers, electricians, and et cetera. So we do have problems just because we don't have the incumbent contractor base that we used to have. I do think it's still an important board to have, and we do try to kind of beat the bush's and find folks who are interested in it. But again, without some of those specialties in the community anymore, it is difficult to find people to sit on the board. So luckily, in the little over three years I've been here, we haven't had one. But yeah, it would be something that would be potentially problematic. So there could be a different way we could look at maybe doing some kind of adjudication. generally you do want people in the specialties to help interpret the code when it comes to a differentiation of opinion between the authority having jurisdiction, which is the city and, you know, contractors in the field. So, um, yeah.

Um, I guess Jamie can speak to, yes, it's, you know, we, we, although we don't meet, uh, the guys that I do have, especially, and I want to, Talk specifically with the electricians. The electrical code, that changes a lot. And the two electricians that I have on now are code, wise code, and they could recite the code. And I'd hate to be able to lose them and dissolve anything because those are kind of the issues that if anybody's going to question anything, it's usually the electrical code.

Oh, so we have people.

Yeah, and I'll ask and we'll reach out. That's usually the one that gets the interpretation of them because with Wichita and with Evergy and everything like that, it always comes to what we want to interpret.

Oh, gotcha. I thought openings meant it was completely open. No, no.

We just have several.

Okay. With that clarification, never mind then. Thank you for explaining. Thank you. Move to approve. Second.

We have a motion and a second. Just a voice vote.

All those in favor?

All in favor? Aye. All those opposed?

Or do you want a roll call? Okay. Okay. Let me do a roll call then. Sorry. So Grace and then Elmore. So Mr. Hay.

Yes.

Ms. Lucas? Yes. Mr. Elmore?

Yes.

And Ms. Grace? Yes. So that is four yes votes to appoint Chad Leonard to the Combined Trade Board.

All right. Congratulations, Chad. Okay. Jamie, you're up. Update on 1310 and 1312 North Beach.

Mr. Mayor, council, um, at our last meeting, uh, we brought you a nuisance property also with some bids to clean it up. Uh, you motion and approve to give the owner 30 days to, to clean that up. Um, I am, I'm here to report the progress. I did take a inspection on last Friday, took some pics that are in your packet. Um, The lot has changed pretty significantly. He's made a lot of positive work. Still has a little bit to go in the back, but now you could actually I can actually walk back there. There's a path now. So, I mean, I know we giggle at it, but he's made some significant progress, still making it. And I'm pretty optimistic that with the remaining days that he could get most of it, if not all of it, done. Hopefully the weather cooperates with him that he can do it. But he's been doing a pretty good job, and I feel optimistic about it.

How's it going with Mr. Kurtz helping him?

I believe he's been out there once or twice when he came in and talked to us, myself and Jeff, and made mention of it. So he's getting a little help from them, but he's been on it. And I drive by. At least once a day on my way through inspections and just curious how far he's come. And he's been out there every time. Good deal.

Thank you, Jamie.

Appreciate it.

Thank you.

Thank you. Thank you.

Okay, Jeff, we have a street closing request.

So you approved a street closing at the last meeting for the library's kickoff event. Due to the potential for rain this week, they have asked to move it to the 28th.

Motion to approve.

Second.

All those in favor? Aye. All those opposed? Okay. We have no public hearings. We have no ordinance, but we do have resolutions. The first resolution authorizing the city manager to execute a purchase order with Central Power Systems and Services of Wichita, Kansas. for the purchase of a tandem vibrating asphalt roller in the amount of $41,774.80. Jeremy. It's on. Approved in this year's budget, we have $50,000 to replace our 1996 BOMAG roller.

That is a single drum roller on the front with pneumatic tires on the rear. With it being a 1996, it's just getting kind of old. It still works, but it's a long ways from what it could be. So that's coming out of the special city highway fund. So basically, I guess, in a way, funded by the state. So before sending out to bid, street supervisor Adam Erber brought in three different units to have the crew demo they actually took it out in the field did some patches and utility cuts and and a number of things and got a good feel for at least three of these machines so uh... they were pretty familiar with what came in on the bids uh... we when we sent those out we were looking at both new and used models so out of three vendors we i believe got five bids six bids Two of those were used. One of those, within two days of opening bids, was sold. And then the other one, for about $4,000, we could get into $3,700, we could get into a brand new model. So then we started focusing on the new ones. The prices, for the most part, three of the four new ones, they were within about $4,000 a piece, so they were competitive. Ultimately, a lot of it, obviously looking at price, but a lot of it came down to the demos of the machines, and staff felt that the DynaPak from Central Power Systems, even though about $1,100, $1,200 more than the CAT, They felt that it just was a better machine. It had a couple of features that they really liked, one of which, and probably the main one, is that you can turn the drums off respectively. And most of the others, it was both drums or no drums. And the DynaPak, you can run one front or rear, depending on what type of job you're doing. The other was kind of a safety issue, the step. Doesn't sound like a big deal, but getting on and off of it has an actual step kind of out there that you can get to easily. The cat, it's kind of tucked in there. Kind of felt that getting off of the machine, if you were in a hurry, we could end up slipping off of it. Not that you're as high up as a loader, but those were kind of the two main issues. We kind of felt that $1,100 and some change was probably worth getting that feature on the drums. So staff, we are recommending the DynaPak. And we are also going to trade in. We're getting $8,500 trade-in value on our old machine. So we're recommending the DynaPak.

Nice. You said 8,500 for trade-in?

Correct. In your memo, you say this, well, it's the level of finished compaction required for modern asphalt repair and paving. How has asphalt changed in the last 15, 20 years?

Well, they're always playing with the mix. You're seeing a lot more recycled material in those mixes. I'm not a big fan of them. I don't think they last quite as long. Different emulsions and oils, they compact a little differently. So I think that's probably the biggest thing on the biggest changes in the asphalt material itself.

What kind of things are they, when you said it's different?

Well, they're adding a lot more recycled materials. So like when we go do a mill and overlay, those millings, a lot of plants will take that, and they'll crush it down even finer, and they'll put it into the hoppers, remelt that down. So you're getting a 15% to even a 50% mix of recycled material in there versus just virgin, brand-new asphalt. with the double drum does that increase your efficiency when you're out there compacting these oh yes and you know there's there's times that you want to use both drums there's sometimes you roll with no drum and then sometimes depending on what you're doing you just want one going so with not that we're doing we're really not doing new stretches of block after block but Some of the patches do get large enough where you would use those features. So you do get more compaction right off the bat. It's going to allow you to do a little bit thicker layer, you know, if you got both drums beating on that. Okay.

Thank you, Jeremy. And it is available?

It is available July 6th.

Any other questions?

I move that we approve the resolution.

Second. All righty. Can I get a roll call vote, please?

Sure. Ms. Grace? Yes. Mr. Hay?

Yes.

Ms. Lucas? Yes. Mr. Elmore?

Yes.

So that is four affirmative votes for resolution number 6448.

Second resolution, authorizing Jason, this is you, authorizing the city manager to execute purchase order with a pure what?

Pure air.

Pure air, okay. For the purchase of chlorine scrubber media in the amount of $82,045.

Mayor, council, this is scrubber media for the chlorine scrubber at the water production plant. Chlorine is our main chemical that we use for disinfection. So we have the two-ton chlorine cylinders out there that we use for disinfecting the water. When you do a chlorine changeout on a cylinder, I mean, you are going to lose a little bit of chlorine gas every time. So when that happens, the scrubber is going to pick that up. So over the course of time, the material gets saturated and it doesn't do what it needs to do. The last time we checked it, it is getting to the point of saturation where it won't contain what we need it to contain. So this is not only a safety feature for the staff and recommended by KDHE, it is also a safety measure for the patrons of the lake that are out there around the water production plant. Unfortunately, we looked. Mike researched and researched and researched because I did not want to bring a single vendor quote to you guys, but there is only one vendor that will provide this media. So what you have in front of you today is $82,045 for just the media. $93,000 is in this year's budget to complete this project. We're hoping we can find a vendor to come in and replace the media for that balance. It's got to be done, so we're getting the ball rolling, and we will be bringing back the next piece of it, which is probably the replacement of the actual media.

How long does this media last?

Well, that's going to depend on how much use you get. We do our best to limit the the change-outs when we do the cylinder change-outs to the minimal, but.

How old is the current one then, I guess?

I think it was replaced in 14.

Okay, so fairly decent amount of time.

Yeah, yeah.

Motion to approve. Second. Motion to second. Heidi, can I get roll call?

Let me get caught up here, sorry. Ms. Grace? Yes. Mr. Hay?

Yes.

Miss Lucas, yes. And Mr. Elmore.

Yes.

So that's four yes votes for resolution number 6449. Great.

Third resolution. Jeff, a resolution authorizing the city manager to execute an agreement with professional engineering consultants PA, Wichita, Kansas for design bidding and construction administration services in the amount of $152,600.

So the memo in the packet kind of laid out some of the history of this. The very condensed version is that we were issued a permit to develop a water right. We have been trying to find sources of funding to help us develop this water right for a number of years. We are coming up on the end of the expiration of the current permit. Indications of KDHE says they want some concrete progress or they probably will not consider another extension of our permit. So this would start the engineering process for us to move forward on the design and potential bidding once we have the design for the wells so that we don't potentially lose this water right, which is very important for the future of the community when it comes to secure and adequate quality and quantities of water. So this is something that we're going to move forward. As we kind of mentioned in the memo, there was an opportunity when we had an industrial development that kind of fell through. We also tried to use the same TA funds that we used for that dam project evaluation that we brought to you, but they did not feel that that was a strong enough linkage. So Try as we might, we have not been able to find somebody else to pay for this, so we need to start the process so that we can make sure that we can develop this right and don't potentially lose it, because if we do lose it, we go back into the line and no guarantee that we'll get the same allocation if we have to go back through the process.

Quick question. So I understand that we've been trying to get funding sources for this to fully engineer it, develop it, put it in, but that's been kind of rough. Is there any potential for us to self-fund it both the engineering as we're proposing right here and the development and then sell the water like a water bank sort of scenario if it's excess to the amount of water that the community currently needs. So at least it'd be generating revenue while we're, you know, hopefully expanding and growing to need it ourselves.

Katie, she looks like DWR typically doesn't allow municipals to sell in that fashion. I mean, they do in irrigation rights and things like that. But basically, the permits we have as a city are the creation of finished water versus banking of it. Because of how our treatment strategy works, where we are blending both surface water and groundwater, making sure that we have enough surface water and wells that aren't impacted by runoff and various things that leach into the soils. It's important for us to kind of diversify our locations and trying to make sure that we can do this. And that is kind of what we're doing. because we haven't been able to find someone to help us leverage we're kind of starting this process with a self-funding um obviously when it comes to construction we're going to try real hard to find someone to help us pay for the the actual well but uh at least to start the design we're we're gonna go on our own okay thank you jeff questions from council move to approve

Second. We have a motion to second. Artie, I need a roll call vote.

Ms. Grace? Yes. Mr. Hay?

Yes.

Ms. Lucas? Yes. Mr. Elmore? Yes. That's four yes votes for resolution number 6450.

Okay. Last resolution. A resolution authorizing the city manager to execute an agreement with professional engineering consultants, PA, Wichita, Kansas, for the design, bidding, and construction administration services in the amount of $67,500. Jeff.

So this is related to the RHID and the Crestview Heights projects we've been talking about to try to build out that second part of the addition. This is to do the design work that we'll need to apply for the various permits and things through KDHE to extend the water sewer lines. It also will include some stormwater and street and curb and gutter design to try to help us deal with conveyance of stormwater. We fortunately aren't under the stormwater permitting yet, but it's coming. So this will get that started based on our discussions with both the developer and our bond council and financial advisory team. We believe that this is an eligible expenditure under the RHID, so we can use the rebates eventually to help pay best back but we need to do this work so that we can size the temp notes and then ultimately the bond issue that would be used to construct these improvements for the subdivision I just want to thank you Jeff for working getting this thing going like you have been I know it's been a lot of a lot of work so thank you for for doing that so
