A rare, Tuesday evening meeting for the Wichita City Council included the approval of a memorandum of understanding between the city and USD 259.
The MOU will allow the district to evaluate Claude Lambe Park's suitability as a possible relocation site for Adams Elementary. It also identifies all or part of the park as the property USD 259 could receive in exchange for district-owned property at the L’Ouverture School site, along with other vacant lots.
A $500 thousand increase in funding was approved for irrigation improvements at Tex Consolver and Auburn Hills Golf Courses, now with a project budget of $5 million. In the past 3 years, the golf enterprise's self-generating fund surplus has grown from $3 million per year up to $7 million per year.
The city approved a lease amendment for Second Light Shelter and Services. Second Light will now be responsible for maintenance and repair obligations at the facility located at 1025 N. Main. That now includes monthly replacement of HVAC filters, electrical system, security system and security camera maintenance, just to name a few.
The council also approved $2.5 million in traffic improvement plans.
