DECLARATION OF A QUORUM
Roll was called with all Commissioners present and a quorum was declared.
AGENDA ITEM NO. 1: Public hearing to discuss the Expo Center, Aquatics Center, and Economic Development for the proposed Capital Improvement Project List.
The video presentation of Mayor Peterson was played for the meeting. This video explains how the projects were selected and addresses the proposed funding sources that may be used. Mayor Peterson explained that this meeting was a listening session for Commissioners that would allow them to hear from citizens regarding this project.
Regarding capital projects at the Expo Center, Expo Director Mike Jackson addressed those present. Among the items that are included in the Expo Center projects is replacing the existing parking lot, adding 50 amp electrical upgrade for RVs, restroom renovations in the Otto Krause building and Phase II expansion of the conference center.
The proposed Aquatics Center addressed by James Bryce, Director of Operations. He noted that the municipal pool was opened in 1936 and has had several renovations since that time. Currently, the pool is outdated and not ADA accessible. He provided some conceptual drawings that could be chosen for the proposed Aquatics Center, which included zero depth entry, spray features, a splash park and updated restroom and shower facilities.
Tim Burg, Executive Director of the Shawnee Economic Development Foundation spoke of what economic development brings to our community and, further, what could be accomplished with a dedicated funding source. Mr. Burg listed other cities which do have dedicated funding for economic development.
