Three executive sessions, the capital improvement program budget, and a discussion of single-use plastic bags are on the Salina City Commission agenda for Monday.
Commissioners are scheduled to begin with study session at 2:30 p.m. Monday in room 107B of the City-County Building, 300 West Ash Street. The topic of the study session is the June 28 Housing Summit report overview and recommendations. A time for public comment is scheduled for 3:45 p.m.
The regular commission meeting is scheduled to begin at 4 p.m. in room 107 of the City-County Building. A time for public comment is scheduled near the beginning of the meeting.
Commissioners are scheduled to consider a resolution redefining the city limits of Salina. According to information in the commission meeting packet, the city is required by state law to "declare by resolution the entire boundary of the city" before Dec. 31 of each year. This year, the boundary was changed to include the south water treatment facility property on South Ohio.
A resolution to adopt the 2020-2024 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) also is on the commission agenda. According to the meeting packet information, the CIP includes an "anticipated schedule of Capital projects and Capital outlay for the next five years along with anticipated funding sources. Also included are projects that have been identified but are not programmed into specific years because further work is needed to define scope and/or funding source."
The proposed CIP was presented to the city commission during two study sessions on June 7 and Oct. 28, and no changes have been made since the October study session, the packet information states.
Commissioners are also scheduled to consider a change to the city's 2019 mill and inlay project to include the resurfacing of Santa Fe Avenue from Crawford Street to Mulberry Street at a proposed cost of $252,593.24. According to the meeting information, "adding this work into the 2019 project rather than including it in the 2020 project utilizes remaining sales tax funds that staff put on hold to ensure the City had adequate funds to cover Streets CIP project contingencies."
The packet information noted that "once completed, this section of Santa Fe will be striped similar to Santa Fe south of Crawford. Currently the section features four traffic lanes and parking between intersections and five traffic lanes without parking at intersections; the proposed configuration will convert one of the traffic lanes into two bicycle lanes between Crawford and South Streets."
Commissioners also are scheduled to consider three executive session requests. They are as follows.
A request for executive session (trade secrets) "to discuss the subject of a specific economic development prospect based upon the need to discuss data relating to financial affairs or trade secrets of corporations, partnerships, trusts, and individual proprietorships."
A request for executive session (legal) "to discuss the subject of negotiations with Saline County relating to the Expo Center Lease agreement with legal counsel."
A request for executive session (personnel) to discuss the city manager's performance evaluation.
Other items on the city agenda include the following.
Consider adopting Resolution No. 19-7779 authorizing the mayor to execute an agreement with Union Pacific Railroad Company (UPRR) for a Pipeline Crossing and Encroachment of railroad property at the intersection of Mulberry Street and Fourth Street.
Consider authorizing the addition of a Power-LOAD cot system in the 2019 remount ambulance for the fire department.
Discuss single-use plastic bag use in Salina.
