1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,660
Questioner, welcome. Present. Remacation tonight, we have Father John Lansworth, St. John Catholic Church.

2
00:00:09,410 --> 00:00:11,030
Good evening. Good evening. Good evening.

3
00:00:14,250 --> 00:00:34,490
O Lord our God, as we begin this meeting tonight, we will in a moment stand in pledge allegiance to our nation under you, O God, that our country may be indivisible and be a place providing liberty and justice for all of her citizens.

4
00:00:35,470 --> 00:00:41,470
We thank You, O God, for Your blessings that You have showered upon our nation over

5
00:00:41,470 --> 00:00:43,930
these last 250 years.

6
00:00:45,090 --> 00:00:50,230
We thank You, O God, that at the beginning of this City Council meeting we can offer

7
00:00:50,230 --> 00:00:57,550
prayer to You, that we can call upon You to be with us and descend Your grace upon us

8
00:00:57,550 --> 00:00:59,690
as we gather in Your name.

9
00:01:00,790 --> 00:01:07,770
Tomorrow, the citizens of El Dorado and throughout the state of Kansas will go to the polls for

10
00:01:07,770 --> 00:01:12,470
the primary election of candidates to serve the citizens of Kansas.

11
00:01:13,630 --> 00:01:20,570
Let us never take for granted this great privilege of being able to elect leaders in our community.

12
00:01:21,410 --> 00:01:25,410
We pray this night for the candidate seeking public office.

13
00:01:25,410 --> 00:01:32,670
May they be women in men of integrity who seek to serve the people they represent rather

14
00:01:32,670 --> 00:01:36,510
than their own selfish ambition or a political party.

15
00:01:37,390 --> 00:01:43,970
We pray that all eligible citizens may exercise their right to vote and that they will inform

16
00:01:43,970 --> 00:01:50,230
themselves well on the candidate seeking public office and on the important issues that are

17
00:01:50,230 --> 00:01:52,410
placed on this primary ballot.

18
00:01:52,410 --> 00:02:00,970
God. Give us wisdom, O Lord, on how we should cast our votes. Bless, Lord, our mayor,

19
00:02:01,170 --> 00:02:09,030
Bill Young, and commissioners Wilkinson, Scribner, Leachman, and Tipton. As they hold elected

20
00:02:09,030 --> 00:02:16,210
offices in leadership roles for our community, may they never forget their important responsibility,

21
00:02:16,210 --> 00:02:23,250
that they may follow the example of Jesus Christ who came not to be sir but to

22
00:02:23,250 --> 00:02:28,710
serve. Lord bless these elected officials and we thank them for their

23
00:02:28,710 --> 00:02:35,210
service to our city. This prayer we make in the name of your Son and our Savior,

24
00:02:35,870 --> 00:02:43,170
Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. Amen. Thank you. But everyone please rise and join us

25
00:02:43,170 --> 00:02:45,010
now the pledge of allegiance to

26
00:02:48,050 --> 00:02:48,510
the

27
00:02:50,650 --> 00:02:54,370
United States of America and to the Republic for which

28
00:02:54,370 --> 00:03:01,110
it stands one nation under God, indivisible with liberty and justice for all.

29
00:03:01,470 --> 00:03:01,670
We're

30
00:03:10,890 --> 00:03:13,470
going to move on to proclamations. We have a proclamation tonight.

31
00:03:15,450 --> 00:03:21,570
Whereas the National Association of Townwatch, NATW, sponsors a unique nationwide prime drug

32
00:03:21,570 --> 00:03:24,570
Violence Prevention Program entitled National 9-O.

33
00:03:25,250 --> 00:03:30,050
And whereas the 43rd Annual National 9-O provides a unique opportunity for the City of

34
00:03:30,050 --> 00:03:35,410
El Dorado to join forces with thousands of other communities across the country and promoting

35
00:03:35,410 --> 00:03:38,010
cooperative police community crime prevention efforts.

36
00:03:38,670 --> 00:03:44,230
And whereas the residents of the City of El Dorado play a vital role in assisting the El Dorado

37
00:03:44,230 --> 00:03:49,090
Police Department through joint crime, drug, and violence prevention efforts in the City

38
00:03:49,090 --> 00:03:55,190
of the city of El Dorado, and are supporting national night out 2026 locally, and whereas

39
00:03:55,190 --> 00:03:59,770
it is essential that all the citizens of the city of El Dorado be aware of the importance

40
00:03:59,770 --> 00:04:04,910
of crime prevention programs and the impact that their participation can have on reducing

41
00:04:04,910 --> 00:04:07,750
crime, drugs, and violence in the city of El Dorado.

42
00:04:08,690 --> 00:04:13,950
Whereas police community partnerships, neighborhood safety, awareness, and cooperation are important

43
00:04:13,950 --> 00:04:15,690
themes of the national night out program.

44
00:04:16,430 --> 00:04:23,170
Now therefore I, Bill Young, do hereby recognize Tuesday, August 4th, 2026, as National

45
00:04:23,170 --> 00:04:23,590
Night Out.

46
00:04:24,290 --> 00:04:26,850
And I call this observance to the attention of all of our citizens.

47
00:04:27,770 --> 00:04:31,650
In witness thereof, I have herein to you set my hand and cause the official seal of the

48
00:04:31,650 --> 00:04:35,450
City of El Dorado Kansas to be affixed on the third day of August 2026.

49
00:04:37,010 --> 00:04:38,810
So, a big night tomorrow night for National Night Out.

50
00:04:41,390 --> 00:04:43,510
We're going to move on to personal appearances.

51
00:04:43,510 --> 00:04:49,610
Personal Appearances are opportunities for organizations or citizens to make special presentations before the City Commission.

52
00:04:50,350 --> 00:04:58,730
Such appearances are scheduled in advance to the meeting by calling City clerk Emerald each at 316-321-9100 by 5 o'clock p.m.

53
00:04:58,970 --> 00:05:00,430
The Tuesday proceeding the meeting.

54
00:05:01,350 --> 00:05:05,330
Presentations are limited to 10 minutes and any presentations for information purposes only

55
00:05:05,330 --> 00:05:10,370
And no actual we take and then tonight we have a couple of personal appearances. We're going to start with El Dorado Inc.

56
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:27,060
Okay,

57
00:05:30,740 --> 00:05:33,940
well, thank you for giving me the opportunity to provide an update on

58
00:05:33,940 --> 00:05:39,540
other activities for the second quarter of 2026. Starting with industrial

59
00:05:39,540 --> 00:05:44,040
recruitment, you'll see on your handout that we submitted 11 requests for

60
00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:48,720
proposals during the second quarter, bringing our year-to-day total to 22. These

61
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:52,940
projects represented a variety of industries including aerospace and defense,

62
00:05:52,940 --> 00:05:57,720
high-tech metal casting, steel parts manufacturing, and semi-conductors.

63
00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:02,280
We're also continuing to see recurring opportunities for our business office

64
00:06:02,280 --> 00:06:07,520
park lots and increase in aircraft-related projects and multiple

65
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:11,920
prospects that could be a good fit for the pioneer building building. On the

66
00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:16,240
development side, the city issue 10 commercial permits last quarter totaling

67
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:21,560
just over $3.3 million, bringing the year-to-date commercial investment to

68
00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:27,480
more than 3.5 million. Some notable projects from last quarter include USD 490s,

69
00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:32,720
chirping of their practice and baseball, softball fields, office remodels at

70
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:38,760
Valmont, and a new storage building on Gordy. Residential activity also remains

71
00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:43,060
steady with four new housing starts during the quarter, representing more than

72
00:06:43,060 --> 00:06:47,860
$500,000 in new investment. Year-to-date we've seen seven new homes

73
00:06:47,860 --> 00:06:50,360
and nearly $1 million invested.

74
00:06:51,260 --> 00:06:53,380
Moving to some of our quarterly highlights,

75
00:06:53,380 --> 00:06:56,880
I submitted two different Opportunity Zone nominations

76
00:06:57,480 --> 00:06:59,100
to the Kansas Department of Commerce

77
00:06:59,100 --> 00:07:00,620
for the Governor's consideration.

78
00:07:01,300 --> 00:07:03,880
One of those tracks is focused on our downtown area

79
00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:07,160
and the other is on a portion of our industrial area

80
00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:09,440
among other areas in Butler County.

81
00:07:09,940 --> 00:07:10,820
As you might recall,

82
00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:14,300
Opportunity Zones are federally designated areas

83
00:07:14,300 --> 00:07:17,340
is that can provide tax incentives for private investment.

84
00:07:18,100 --> 00:07:20,980
So if selected, these designations will help position

85
00:07:20,980 --> 00:07:23,440
those tracks for future private investment

86
00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:24,780
and redevelopment.

87
00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:27,320
And these are based on census tracks.

88
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:30,520
And we expect to hear the governor's decision this fall.

89
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:33,560
I also have the opportunity last quarter

90
00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:36,380
to tour the construction site of the Wichita Internet

91
00:07:36,380 --> 00:07:38,120
Exchange Point, or IXP.

92
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:41,000
It should come online later this summer,

93
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:52,040
and algorithms close proximity to this infrastructure creates another competitive advantage as we continue recruiting industries and businesses that rely on fast, reliable connectivity.

94
00:07:52,700 --> 00:08:08,800
A way that it was described to me in simple terms is to think of it like an airport hub for your internet traffic without one nearby your text or your email has to balance from either Kansas City or Dallas or Denver before reaching its destination.

95
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:17,280
and an IXP and Wichita will allow that connection to happen locally, making Internet service faster, more reliable, and more efficient for everyone in the area.

96
00:08:18,220 --> 00:08:21,860
Business retention and expansion continues to be a priority during the quarter.

97
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:30,620
I met with several existing employers to discuss their future and upcoming growth plans, their workforce needs, and investment opportunities.

98
00:08:31,140 --> 00:08:36,760
Because as you know, supporting the businesses that have already chosen Al Dorado is just as important as recruiting new ones.

99
00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:49,060
We also continue strengthening our partnerships with the Greater Wichita Partnership, our utility providers, and regional and state economic development organizations to keep El Dorado visible and competitive.

100
00:08:50,260 --> 00:08:52,320
Housing remains an important topic as well.

101
00:08:53,300 --> 00:09:06,740
Last quarter, I toured crime craft craftsman homes, new modular housing manufacturing facility in Wichita, to learn more about their innovative housing solutions and how that could help address workforce housing needs.

102
00:09:06,740 --> 00:09:08,400
and communities like ours.

103
00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:11,020
And I also continued working in meeting

104
00:09:11,020 --> 00:09:14,480
with local developers, property owners, and businesses

105
00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:16,640
on different development opportunities

106
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:17,560
throughout the community.

107
00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:19,500
And then as you know, in April,

108
00:09:19,680 --> 00:09:21,480
elderly wing hosted an economic forum

109
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:23,540
to provide information and answer questions

110
00:09:23,540 --> 00:09:25,400
on emerging industries.

111
00:09:26,060 --> 00:09:27,920
And then just before I finish,

112
00:09:28,060 --> 00:09:30,100
I would just like to take a moment to say thank you.

113
00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:32,260
Over the past several months our community

114
00:09:32,260 --> 00:09:34,480
has navigated some really challenging conversations.

115
00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:48,520
And so not only commission mayor but city staff, I commend you for your efforts in your thoughtful leadership and countless hours that you've put into the better amount of our community.

116
00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:56,720
So I believe we all share the same goal of building a better and stronger El Dorado and I look forward to continuing that work with you all.

117
00:09:57,100 --> 00:10:00,960
And thank you again and I'm happy to answer any questions you may have.

118
00:10:07,980 --> 00:10:08,720
Thank you.

119
00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:09,360
Thank you.

120
00:10:09,660 --> 00:10:10,000
Thank you.

121
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:10,520
Thanks for all your work.

122
00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:12,400
Thank you.

123
00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:14,920
Next, personal improvements.

124
00:10:15,020 --> 00:10:16,680
We have an update from Albertan Main Street.

125
00:10:29,010 --> 00:10:29,410
All right.

126
00:10:29,530 --> 00:10:33,930
Well, good evening, commissioners, city staff, members of the community.

127
00:10:34,950 --> 00:10:39,190
My name is Aniland Stoll, and I have a privilege to have serving as the new executive director

128
00:10:39,190 --> 00:10:40,390
of El Dorado Main Street.

129
00:10:41,450 --> 00:10:46,250
My first, I'd like to thank you, thank the City Commission, our board, our volunteers,

130
00:10:46,250 --> 00:10:52,110
local businesses and everyone who's helped keep mainstream moving over the past several

131
00:10:52,110 --> 00:10:52,510
months.

132
00:10:52,970 --> 00:10:58,030
I know this organization has experienced a season transition and I am grateful for everyone

133
00:10:58,030 --> 00:11:00,550
who have stepped up to serve during that time.

134
00:11:01,730 --> 00:11:05,590
A little about me I was born and raised in Oklahoma before making Kansas my home.

135
00:11:06,370 --> 00:11:11,910
Over the years I have had the opportunity to work in nonprofit leadership most recently

136
00:11:11,910 --> 00:11:18,210
with Alzheimer's Association and previously as the RSVP Director and Dodge City serving

137
00:11:18,210 --> 00:11:24,030
the communities across Western Kansas. Throughout my career, one thing has remained constant.

138
00:11:24,950 --> 00:11:29,450
I enjoyed bringing people together, building relationships and helping communities grow strong.

139
00:11:30,810 --> 00:11:35,950
My husband, our young son, and I recently have made El Dorado our home less than a month.

140
00:11:37,030 --> 00:11:43,950
So, while we're new to the community, we're already experiencing the kindness and the welcoming spirit that makes the city special.

141
00:11:44,410 --> 00:11:47,790
We are excited to build our lives here and become part of this community.

142
00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:56,360
As I've settled into the role over the past few weeks, I've spent so much time listening.

143
00:11:57,120 --> 00:12:04,160
I've met with business owners, volunteers, board members and community leaders, and residents.

144
00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:08,020
because I believe the best way to serve the community is the first to understand it.

145
00:12:09,460 --> 00:12:13,260
Main Street is about much more than buildings or organizing events.

146
00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:16,860
It's about supporting the businesses that invest here,

147
00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:18,540
encourage entrepreneurship,

148
00:12:19,300 --> 00:12:22,260
preserving the character that makes downtown unique,

149
00:12:22,740 --> 00:12:25,160
and creating a place where people who want to gather,

150
00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:27,380
work, shop, and make memories.

151
00:12:28,780 --> 00:12:33,100
As your executive director, my commitment is simple.

152
00:12:33,100 --> 00:12:44,780
I want to continue to learn, build strong partnerships and work alongside our board, our businesses, our volunteers, the city and our community to support the vibrant downtown.

153
00:12:45,700 --> 00:12:53,460
I don't pretend to have all the answers, and I believe the best ideas often come from the people who live and work here every single day.

154
00:12:53,460 --> 00:12:59,800
If you own a business, volunteer, have an idea or simply want to introduce yourself.

155
00:13:00,300 --> 00:13:03,380
I hope you'll stop by Main Street Office or reach out.

156
00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:07,180
I look forward to getting to know you and hearing your stories.

157
00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:09,120
You don't know our address.

158
00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:10,820
It is 116 West Pine.

159
00:13:11,780 --> 00:13:20,700
My email is director at elderrightomainstreet.org and our phone number is 316-321-3088 and

160
00:13:20,700 --> 00:13:26,140
And I've personally connected our main street office number straight directly to my cell phone.

161
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:28,020
So I don't want to miss a call from you guys.

162
00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:33,900
I'm honored to serve this community and I'm excited to see what we can accomplish together

163
00:13:33,900 --> 00:13:34,900
over the years to come.

164
00:13:35,620 --> 00:13:40,280
And thank you for welcoming my family and me to El Dorado, I truly look forward to serving

165
00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:40,860
this community.

166
00:13:42,300 --> 00:13:43,660
And if there's any questions for me.

167
00:13:44,580 --> 00:13:45,480
Welcome to El Dorado.

168
00:13:46,140 --> 00:13:46,640
Glad to be here.

169
00:13:46,700 --> 00:13:47,160
Glad to have you.

170
00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:56,500
Thank you so much, and we're looking forward to big things from you, sir.

171
00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:57,200
Thank you.

172
00:13:57,560 --> 00:13:58,000
Thank you.

173
00:14:00,560 --> 00:14:01,960
That's it for personal appearances.

174
00:14:02,260 --> 00:14:08,140
We're going to move on to public comments, persons who wish to address the city commission regarding any matter that is under the jurisdiction of the city commission.

175
00:14:08,300 --> 00:14:09,400
May do so when called upon.

176
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:13,940
Comments on personnel matters, matters pending in court and land use matters are not permitted.

177
00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:16,860
Land use public hearings are held during the planning commission meetings.

178
00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:18,180
Is there anyone here for public comment?

179
00:14:18,180 --> 00:14:18,960
We'll

180
00:14:29,910 --> 00:14:31,370
move on to the consent agenda.

181
00:14:32,170 --> 00:14:43,690
On tonight's consent agenda, we're considering the approval of City Commission meeting minutes from May 13th, 2026, June 10th, 2026, June 29th, 2026, then July 1st, 2026.

182
00:14:43,810 --> 00:14:45,130
So I have a motion to approve the consent agenda.

183
00:14:45,890 --> 00:14:47,650
I move we approve the consent agenda.

184
00:14:48,810 --> 00:14:49,670
Motion is second.

185
00:14:49,750 --> 00:14:50,590
All those in favor say aye.

186
00:14:50,930 --> 00:14:51,190
Aye.

187
00:14:51,570 --> 00:14:53,810
Those opposed, same side, motion carries.

188
00:14:54,210 --> 00:14:59,890
There's nothing for all business, we're going to move on to new business items, agenda item number nine, consideration of approved local business receipt for

189
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:16,500
Project number 637 in finding that Pearson, construction LLC submitted the lowest and best bid directed the city manager to award the contract to Pearson construction LLC in the amount of 394,405 dollars, 85 cents, contingent upon the contractor furnishing all required bonds and insurance.

190
00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:27,020
Yes, Mayor commissioners, this project is on K-2-3-4, so Central Avenue, from Boyer Road

191
00:15:27,020 --> 00:15:28,540
to Avenue Road.

192
00:15:28,900 --> 00:15:36,380
It would be a mill, an overlay, but an overlay would be an ultra-thin overlay, a new type

193
00:15:36,380 --> 00:15:40,000
of product that the city started using last year.

194
00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:45,140
We've had good luck with it so far that they will look for us to stretch those sales tax

195
00:15:45,140 --> 00:15:52,280
dollars out further that we have. So we did this project out. We did have three

196
00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:57,860
bitters on it. Pearson construction submitted the low and best bid and we did

197
00:15:57,860 --> 00:16:05,740
end up getting a very good price at $394,000. The way this works is the city was

198
00:16:05,740 --> 00:16:12,620
awarded a grant to the Kansas Farm of Transportation. We're 90% of the cost

199
00:16:12,620 --> 00:16:16,920
are reimbursed to the city by K-DOT and 10% is our obligation.

200
00:16:21,130 --> 00:16:22,210
It's awesome that it came into.

201
00:16:22,730 --> 00:16:27,310
Yes, and it's a heavily traveled road over 18,000 vehicles a day.

202
00:16:28,330 --> 00:16:32,370
It needs some surface treatment just to protect the rest of that base.

203
00:16:32,870 --> 00:16:36,750
You know, often we may hear there's other roads in our worst condition.

204
00:16:37,190 --> 00:16:41,710
You know, we've got to keep up on those roads or build the cherry forest

205
00:16:41,710 --> 00:16:44,670
and the cost will increase and increase and increase and increase.

206
00:16:44,670 --> 00:16:51,050
So this will be a thin mill, smoothed out, thin overlay, and give us some more life.

207
00:16:51,430 --> 00:16:53,890
Scott, we either do like one line at a time, how would they?

208
00:16:54,290 --> 00:16:56,530
Yep, it's so trapegal be open through the direction.

209
00:16:56,750 --> 00:16:58,610
Okay, it'll be just cut down the one line.

210
00:16:59,370 --> 00:16:59,430
Yep.

211
00:17:00,090 --> 00:17:01,230
Do you know when they're going to do it?

212
00:17:01,810 --> 00:17:02,810
It'll be this fall.

213
00:17:03,070 --> 00:17:03,290
Let's go.

214
00:17:06,190 --> 00:17:06,330
Great.

215
00:17:06,570 --> 00:17:06,730
Great.

216
00:17:07,190 --> 00:17:12,790
I move to accept the BIDs received for project number 637 and finding that Pearson construction

217
00:17:12,790 --> 00:17:24,110
Section LLC submitted the lowest and best bid direct the city manager to award the contract to Pearson Construction LLC in the amount of $394,405.85.

218
00:17:24,530 --> 00:17:28,410
Continent upon the contractor furnishing are required bonds and insurance.

219
00:17:28,910 --> 00:17:31,330
Second, motion a second further discussion.

220
00:17:32,290 --> 00:17:40,370
Which one to make a comment, Scott, you mentioned that there are, we all know that there's other roads that are in

221
00:17:40,370 --> 00:17:43,610
We could put our own worst shape and we can send it a potential in worst shape.

222
00:17:44,070 --> 00:17:52,170
We also recognize it through the planning process and through this process that this state doesn't necessarily contribute to some of those other roads.

223
00:17:52,310 --> 00:18:01,770
With this being a state highway, it opens this up for an opportunity to be able to capitalize on some state funds to be able to get $3 million worth of work done for $300,000.

224
00:18:02,310 --> 00:18:11,830
And it allows us to extend the life of the SAS at the long-term best dollar spent as we went through the paper management plan to be talking about that.

225
00:18:12,190 --> 00:18:14,550
So I appreciate the work that you get from us.

226
00:18:14,950 --> 00:18:16,730
Any other questions or comments?

227
00:18:17,890 --> 00:18:18,870
All those with favor say aye.

228
00:18:19,230 --> 00:18:19,530
Aye.

229
00:18:19,910 --> 00:18:20,710
There's a post same sign.

230
00:18:21,270 --> 00:18:21,970
Motion carries.

231
00:18:21,970 --> 00:18:30,430
agenda item number 10 consideration and ordinance amendment section 10-04-10.04.010.010.010.010.010.

232
00:18:30,490 --> 00:18:34,650
The operator municipal code pertaining the traffic and traffic and incorporating by reference

233
00:18:34,650 --> 00:18:39,710
the standard traffic ordinance for Kansas City's 53rd edition with certain omissions, changes

234
00:18:39,710 --> 00:18:44,030
and additions, prescribing additional regulations, providing certain penalties and repealing

235
00:18:44,030 --> 00:18:44,890
fire ordinances.

236
00:18:44,890 --> 00:18:45,790
Yeah.

237
00:18:50,860 --> 00:18:52,580
Tell us about it.

238
00:18:54,020 --> 00:18:56,780
Good evening mayor and city commissioners.

239
00:18:57,440 --> 00:19:02,340
As you said mayor, we're asking that you guys adopt two city ordinances tonight for

240
00:19:02,340 --> 00:19:08,180
the 42nd edition for the Uniform Public Offence Code and then for the 53rd edition for the

241
00:19:08,180 --> 00:19:09,260
standard traffic movements.

242
00:19:10,120 --> 00:19:16,680
With that there were some amendments as far as statutes as well some new statutes added

243
00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:22,820
into U-Poc and STO, so if you guys have a few minutes, I'd like to just take a quick overview of those.

244
00:19:24,460 --> 00:19:29,960
For your uniform public offense code, there were several definitions that were amended,

245
00:19:30,700 --> 00:19:35,420
dealing with financial use of financial crimes.

246
00:19:36,420 --> 00:19:38,820
Use of financial card crimes, things of that nature.

247
00:19:39,580 --> 00:19:43,060
There was also definitions that were added that also pertain to that.

248
00:19:43,060 --> 00:19:53,820
The reason for the amendments on those definitions and the addition of those definitions were the support to criminal use of the financial card or gift card.

249
00:19:54,360 --> 00:19:57,980
And a lot of those new definitions are pertaining more to the gift cards.

250
00:19:58,660 --> 00:20:07,860
That way law enforcement and the courts have more authority to take action on fraudulent reports going with gift cards specifically.

251
00:20:07,860 --> 00:20:12,040
The statute prior to that was very limited when it came to the gift cards.

252
00:20:12,740 --> 00:20:17,440
It was always there for the financial cards that it lacked there with the gift cards.

253
00:20:18,340 --> 00:20:22,040
There was also a definition added in the epoch for first responder.

254
00:20:22,940 --> 00:20:27,760
What that definition is for, it's to support the new statute that was put in place for

255
00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:32,060
unlawful approach to the first responder, which is section 3.5.1.

256
00:20:32,740 --> 00:20:37,840
Ultimately what that's doing is allowing first responders to have that

257
00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:46,440
distance from public for scene safety, um, things of that nature. Um, there was also some definitions

258
00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:54,200
that were put in place for agriculture as far as hay, grain, livestock, um, machinery. Uh,

259
00:20:54,200 --> 00:21:01,800
those definitions were put in place, uh, specifically for the section 6.1 theft, um, and it also

260
00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:06,960
included enhancement penalties for theft of certain agriculture assets. So those are kind

261
00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:19,540
when it comes to the SKO. One of the big ones is they added the definition for real quick.

262
00:21:24,070 --> 00:21:25,030
Hands-free

263
00:21:25,030 --> 00:21:35,590
device. So the new statute now, section 126.2.1, use of wireless communication devices and school

264
00:21:35,590 --> 00:21:42,390
zones or construction zones, what that new statute is doing is when reduced speed limit

265
00:21:42,390 --> 00:21:48,410
is being enforced or active in a school zone, or when workers are present and required

266
00:21:48,410 --> 00:21:54,210
warning signs are present in construction zones, you're going to have to use hands-free

267
00:21:54,210 --> 00:21:58,050
when using your device as you can no longer as a global device.

268
00:21:58,770 --> 00:22:05,010
There are some exceptions to that, if you're trying to report an emergency situation, if

269
00:22:05,010 --> 00:22:07,090
your setting station area, things of that nature.

270
00:22:07,830 --> 00:22:09,990
So, that's one of the big ones in STO.

271
00:22:10,470 --> 00:22:11,730
So, if you guys have any questions,

272
00:22:12,010 --> 00:22:12,970
we'll be glad to try to make some.

273
00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:17,240
Let's take a motion.

274
00:22:18,860 --> 00:22:25,420
I know the proven ordinance amending section 9.04.010

275
00:22:26,020 --> 00:22:29,320
of the El Dorado Municipal Code pertains

276
00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:32,480
to traffic and incorporating by reference

277
00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:34,940
the uniform public offense code

278
00:22:34,940 --> 00:22:38,240
for Kansas City's 42nd edition.

279
00:22:40,210 --> 00:22:40,930
Do I have a second?

280
00:22:41,250 --> 00:22:41,610
I'll second.

281
00:22:42,630 --> 00:22:45,090
Motion to second any questions on the epoch.

282
00:22:47,050 --> 00:22:48,230
All those of you in the skip?

283
00:22:48,890 --> 00:22:49,370
Yeah, we'll go back.

284
00:22:49,550 --> 00:22:50,370
Yeah, okay, all right.

285
00:22:51,270 --> 00:22:52,450
This, yes, so this is.

286
00:22:52,690 --> 00:22:53,570
Yeah, he got one ahead.

287
00:22:53,950 --> 00:22:54,650
Sorry, Henry.

288
00:22:54,910 --> 00:22:56,510
This is number 11.

289
00:22:56,670 --> 00:22:58,750
This is the epoch, which he just explained to us as well, so.

290
00:22:59,750 --> 00:23:01,190
All those in favor say aye.

291
00:23:01,450 --> 00:23:01,690
Aye.

292
00:23:02,150 --> 00:23:03,050
There's a post same sign.

293
00:23:03,950 --> 00:23:04,430
Motion carries.

294
00:23:04,710 --> 00:23:06,250
Do I have an emotion for the STO?

295
00:23:06,250 --> 00:23:14,270
I will move to approve an ordinance amendment section 10.04.010 of the El Dorado Municipal Code

296
00:23:14,270 --> 00:23:18,470
pertaining the traffic and in court region by reference the standard traffic ordinance

297
00:23:18,470 --> 00:23:24,930
for Kansas cities, 53rd edition with certain emissions, changes and additions, prescribing

298
00:23:24,930 --> 00:23:30,530
additional regulations, providing a certain penalties and repealing prior ordinances.

299
00:23:31,110 --> 00:23:31,350
Second.

300
00:23:31,350 --> 00:23:37,950
motion a second. Any questions or comments about the STF? All those in favor say aye.

301
00:23:38,310 --> 00:23:38,530
Aye.

302
00:23:38,950 --> 00:23:40,970
There's a post same time. Thanks, Joe.

303
00:23:41,270 --> 00:23:41,470
Thank you.

304
00:23:41,610 --> 00:23:42,010
Appreciate you.

305
00:23:44,450 --> 00:23:49,730
Nothing on the agenda for discussion items are meant to city commission advisory board updates and we're going to start with Commissioner Wolff.

306
00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:56,480
I'm sorry.

307
00:23:56,480 --> 00:24:04,820
Office 15, which is a week from Saturday, the Friends of the Library are celebrating the

308
00:24:04,820 --> 00:24:08,820
50th anniversary of Bradford Memorial Library.

309
00:24:09,360 --> 00:24:17,180
There will be a reception, that Saturday afternoon, from 2 to 4, with refreshments and a special

310
00:24:17,180 --> 00:24:25,540
medication. So if you're free the 14, between two and four, it's wrong. 14 to 50. 15.

311
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:31,620
Or I can say 14, though. It's stuck in my mind. We'll show up about days of only

312
00:24:31,620 --> 00:24:36,580
the restaurants on Saturday. You can read a big book. There have books on the

313
00:24:44,860 --> 00:24:56,040
I don't have anything though. I did see today the school lights are starting to flash and preparation for school. I can't bring 30 that time but that's coming so I might just start being aware of that.

314
00:24:57,680 --> 00:25:01,820
Mr. Tipton, I do have a question when you get paid.

315
00:25:02,860 --> 00:25:04,740
Okay, we'll get some questions. Go ahead.

316
00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:08,960
I notice there's no scoreboard until you first ball state.

317
00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:12,940
I was told. So, any idea when that's going to be back?

318
00:25:13,260 --> 00:25:15,120
It's supposed to be ready for the season.

319
00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:17,080
Okay, just curious. Probably shortly.

320
00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:21,740
Who pays school zones?

321
00:25:35,930 --> 00:25:41,370
I don't have any advice report updates and I appreciate you mentioning that I noticed

322
00:25:41,370 --> 00:25:45,650
that as well that the rights reflection so it's, at the time of year we need to show

323
00:25:45,650 --> 00:25:47,230
So paying extra attention, slow down.

324
00:25:49,490 --> 00:25:51,390
Baseball, summer baseball stop-offs season's over.

325
00:25:51,490 --> 00:25:52,290
The one that's finished up.

326
00:25:53,830 --> 00:25:56,010
So we're getting ready for school summers

327
00:25:56,010 --> 00:25:56,450
about over.

328
00:25:56,670 --> 00:25:58,090
So we're going to start school back up.

329
00:25:59,070 --> 00:26:00,430
And it's always an exciting time

330
00:26:00,430 --> 00:26:01,690
when we were talking to kids about school.

331
00:26:01,690 --> 00:26:03,510
I know they're not short, but about usually a bit of that.

332
00:26:03,750 --> 00:26:07,470
I think parents are going to come back, so it's all I got.

333
00:26:07,530 --> 00:26:09,890
Probably right now I need everybody to vote tomorrow.

334
00:26:10,110 --> 00:26:12,630
Yes, tomorrow is part of us to get out to vote tomorrow.

335
00:26:13,330 --> 00:26:21,590
already look. City Manager Dave. Yes, tomorrow is a primary election, polling locations will

336
00:26:21,590 --> 00:26:27,330
be open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. There are three polling locations on right now, one

337
00:26:27,330 --> 00:26:33,210
Cabinet Church, Trinity United Methodist Church, and the 7th Center, polling locations may have

338
00:26:33,210 --> 00:26:38,090
changed since the last election. So make sure you check the other pay website to bring

339
00:26:38,090 --> 00:26:40,690
We are pulling location and the mine has been changed.

340
00:26:41,110 --> 00:26:42,550
I'm sure many others have as well.

341
00:26:43,330 --> 00:26:45,970
So be sure to check that before you make your trip out

342
00:26:45,970 --> 00:26:47,510
to folks tomorrow.

343
00:26:48,430 --> 00:26:50,370
As was mentioned, the El Reydo Police Department

344
00:26:50,370 --> 00:26:54,070
might state the international line out on August 4th

345
00:26:54,070 --> 00:26:54,490
at this part.

346
00:26:54,690 --> 00:26:56,250
That'll be from 5 to 7 p.m.

347
00:26:56,630 --> 00:26:59,690
The event will feature food, games, and prizes.

348
00:27:00,330 --> 00:27:01,850
It's a great opportunity to get out and interact

349
00:27:01,850 --> 00:27:04,870
with first responders, red and four school experts.

350
00:27:04,870 --> 00:27:07,310
so we encourage everybody to come down to the other event.

351
00:27:08,470 --> 00:27:10,510
Our community college, Grizzly Best Brade,

352
00:27:10,610 --> 00:27:14,590
will take place downtown on Saturday, August 22nd of 10 a.m.

353
00:27:15,350 --> 00:27:18,110
This break this year will celebrate the Centennial

354
00:27:18,110 --> 00:27:20,050
anniversary of our community college

355
00:27:20,050 --> 00:27:21,850
if you're interested in a float.

356
00:27:22,650 --> 00:27:23,730
I know the Chamber's got some information

357
00:27:23,730 --> 00:27:24,990
about what the city does as well.

358
00:27:26,210 --> 00:27:30,230
But big plans will attend that parade on the 22nd.

359
00:27:31,390 --> 00:27:34,230
If you're interested learning more about the city's budget,

360
00:27:34,230 --> 00:27:38,990
I will be providing a much-learned presentation at Eldrath Seager Center on Friday, August 7th,

361
00:27:39,590 --> 00:27:44,210
and 11 a.m., the presentation will focus on the proposed 2027 budget.

362
00:27:45,150 --> 00:27:50,010
The commission's next work session on August 12 will feature a discussion on the proposed

363
00:27:50,010 --> 00:27:56,090
budget in preparation for the upcoming budget, the revenue, and the schedule for September 7th.

364
00:27:56,210 --> 00:28:00,330
So get informed about that proposed budget.

365
00:28:02,550 --> 00:28:12,930
Judge Satterfield scheduled it. They hear it from the city's request of declaratory judgment on the citizen initiated petition concerning the ordinance for having data centers about our energy storage systems.

366
00:28:13,290 --> 00:28:21,190
The area will take place on Friday, August 14, at 10 a.m. in corporate in the A, at the public county judicial center.

367
00:28:21,890 --> 00:28:27,690
It will be a person, so the public is aware that they have each to attend if they would like to do so.

368
00:28:29,470 --> 00:28:35,170
The recent natural change, all not working purchases in excess of $50,000 will be placed

369
00:28:35,170 --> 00:28:38,170
on consent agenda for the Commission's repeal consideration.

370
00:28:39,150 --> 00:28:45,590
Curly the city's purchasing policy allows the city manager to purchase $200,000, but in

371
00:28:45,590 --> 00:28:53,110
an effort to be more transparent on a wider variety of purchases, it may change so that the

372
00:28:53,110 --> 00:28:57,450
the public to kind of see purchase purchases about $50,000 on the agenda.

373
00:28:57,690 --> 00:29:02,770
So that'll be, you know, becoming ribbon revisions to the person policy, to the commission

374
00:29:02,770 --> 00:29:07,570
for approval to make it more formal, but that direction is ready to provide it to staff

375
00:29:07,570 --> 00:29:09,470
as of the meeting at this week.

376
00:29:09,910 --> 00:29:11,090
So I have a question about that.

377
00:29:11,290 --> 00:29:11,450
Yeah.

378
00:29:11,710 --> 00:29:15,850
So, you know, we've gone through this process to change the purchase and policy, procurement

379
00:29:15,850 --> 00:29:22,430
and purchase and policy and increase your millennia for emergency situations in the event

380
00:29:22,430 --> 00:29:27,850
that we lose the pump at the water treatment center or something and it needs to take place

381
00:29:27,850 --> 00:29:28,750
before our next meeting.

382
00:29:29,010 --> 00:29:33,130
So in the new policy, we'll start with a capability, but we'll just have it on the consent

383
00:29:33,130 --> 00:29:33,410
agenda.

384
00:29:33,710 --> 00:29:36,410
I mean, I don't want those emergencies to go unanswered.

385
00:29:36,430 --> 00:29:36,870
Okay.

386
00:29:36,970 --> 00:29:37,650
We don't have any questions.

387
00:29:37,870 --> 00:29:43,910
So the way it will be structured is that emergency purchases will be made subject to a

388
00:29:44,590 --> 00:29:45,750
post approval by commission.

389
00:29:46,090 --> 00:29:49,090
So we're not going to delay an emergency purchase.

390
00:29:49,090 --> 00:29:52,230
So if a pump goes up, for example, I'm going to move forward with being in their place,

391
00:29:52,710 --> 00:29:54,870
but then it'll be on the Commission's agenda for subsequently.

392
00:29:55,650 --> 00:29:56,270
Okay, I understand.

393
00:29:56,430 --> 00:29:59,850
I just wanted to add, just as background, the reason we changed that was for that reason.

394
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:07,780
We've ran into that situation a few years ago where it was 13 days until the next commission meeting and it has gone out of the water treatment plan.

395
00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:16,320
We'll also have our revised public comment policy. It's going to be review on the executive mission team tomorrow.

396
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:34,960
He has provide response to the city's in grade up on the electric transmission lane that runs through the grade work.

397
00:30:35,840 --> 00:30:37,400
I'm starting to agree with you right now.

398
00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:44,000
Yeah, I just, and David can send this out to you now via you all as well.

399
00:30:44,940 --> 00:30:50,240
I did ask him to come in person, they felt it was easier, better for them just to respond to the email.

400
00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:59,620
And basically, they just stated that in 2023, they made the upgrades to the 69 KBW transmission line.

401
00:30:59,620 --> 00:31:11,260
from the Scully substation from Conor Avenue to the Southwest trafficway north to a half-mile north of 6th Avenue in the orchard street.

402
00:31:13,300 --> 00:31:14,800
I'll just go that way.

403
00:31:14,960 --> 00:31:19,960
The project enhances reliability for the community and strength from the power grid regionally.

404
00:31:20,940 --> 00:31:29,080
We're across where possible are standard practices to rebuild existing lines and their original alignment to meet modern safety and reliability.

405
00:31:29,080 --> 00:31:36,040
Byability standards, the new polls are about 30 feet taller than the existing polls from the 1950s.

406
00:31:36,260 --> 00:31:44,560
The new transmission line was engineered and constructed to operate at 69 KB and the all national electric safety codes.

407
00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:52,800
The easement with secure through this corridor for the project would not support a higher voltage line.

408
00:31:53,480 --> 00:31:57,120
We currently have no plans to increase the voltage of the transmission line.

409
00:31:57,120 --> 00:32:04,500
If we were to increase the voltage, it would require us to obtain additional e-svets and communicate with effective rate vendors.

410
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:10,780
So functionally, they're saying the same voltage that was on prior is on today.

411
00:32:11,060 --> 00:32:23,180
They raised the pole height by 30 feet to meet the national safety code, or electric code, and they have no plans to upgrade that line.

412
00:32:23,180 --> 00:32:30,100
And if they so did, they would have to give additional use nuts in it, pretty much.

413
00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:30,960
Sorry.

414
00:32:31,120 --> 00:32:32,780
Any plans for additional line?

415
00:32:34,340 --> 00:32:40,740
Did they say an additional line if they needed more power than the board or no, but it

416
00:32:40,740 --> 00:32:42,480
would not be over $69K.

417
00:32:43,060 --> 00:32:43,300
Okay.

418
00:32:47,090 --> 00:32:47,710
Appreciate it.

419
00:32:47,730 --> 00:32:48,310
I appreciate it.

420
00:32:48,390 --> 00:32:50,030
I guess that would end if I fail.

421
00:32:52,440 --> 00:32:56,820
Yep, and they had sent that last Wednesday and I totally forgot that I received that

422
00:32:56,820 --> 00:33:02,020
or that's what we got that prior and I just had to hang it up for the meeting and told them I forgot that I received that.

423
00:33:02,240 --> 00:33:02,360
Okay,

424
00:33:05,020 --> 00:33:12,520
so David, will you be able to get that sent out to us as well as posting that statement?

425
00:33:12,740 --> 00:33:12,800
Yeah.

426
00:33:13,640 --> 00:33:14,360
Thank you.

427
00:33:14,880 --> 00:33:15,780
Anything else from you?

428
00:33:16,260 --> 00:33:16,840
I think that's it.

429
00:33:18,040 --> 00:33:19,920
There's nothing else. I consider motions we adjourned.

430
00:33:20,520 --> 00:33:21,400
No, we adjourned.

431
00:33:21,860 --> 00:33:22,120
Second.

432
00:33:22,120 --> 00:33:24,320
motion a second all those who care to say hi
