CALL TO ORDER:
DECLARATION OF A QUORUM: Roll was called with seven Commissioners present.
AGENDA ITEM NO. 1: Discussion and possible consideration of City of Shawnee staff prioritization of Capital Improvement Projects.
City Manager Brian McDougal explained to those present the method staff used to determine project priority. Department Heads were asked to rank Capital Improvement Project on a scale of 1 – 5, with 1 being the most critical need. After all Department Heads provided their rankings, Stephen Nolen compiled data which listed them in staff’s priority order. It should be noted that any Department Head with capital items on the list was not allowed to rank their own projects. A copy of staff’s prioritized capital project ranking is included as an attachment to these minutes and are incorporate herein.
After the rankings were presented, Commissioners questioned staff regarding the purpose of the capital item and/or the ranking of the item. Among items discussed in greater detail included the low ranking of improvements to the Municipal Auditorium and the high ranking of the resurfacing of the parking lot at the Expo Center. Other items discussed were the need to upgrade the City Hall radio tower antennas and to construct a new tower north of Shawnee and Regional Park phases and equipment. Questions were also asked of staff regarding the Fire Department and Street improvements.
Mayor Peterson questioned staff regarding additional personnel needs once these projects have been completed.
It was determined that the list provided was a very good beginning and helpful to see staff’s priorities. Commissioners will also prepare priority lists to be compared with staffs’ list at a later date. Mayor Peterson stated that she hopes the list of a projects and priority rankings will be helpful to other groups, as well as future Commissions.
Staff will again review the projects and funding of the projects based upon long range re-payment options, grants, pay-as-you go, etc. Additionally, projects that are connected will be grouped together to be considered as a whole, rather than separate projects.
AGENDA ITEM NO. 2: Adjournment
There being no further business to come before the meeting, a motion was made by Vice Mayor Sims, seconded by Commissioner Stephens to adjourn the meeting. Motion carried 7-0. (3:12 p.m.)
