1. Call to Order and Introduce New Member: David called the meeting to order at 10:00
am and declared a quorum. He introduced our newly appointed member, Mr. Rick
Hernandez, who is a local architect. He also welcomed Mr. Charlie Peters, who is a land
owner in the Boat Ramp area, and attended the meeting.
2. Approval of Minutes: December meeting minutes were approved unanimously.
3. Project Updates:
3.a. Veteran's Plaza Project: David summarized the project history for the new attendees,
and explained that the design is nearly complete, with questions remaining regarding the
flagpole, the restroom, and lighting. The Committee and Staff agreed the following: First,
the flagpole will be 35 feet and the City will NOT be responsible to put flags on the pole at
any time—that will be handled by Veterans groups for special events. Second, the
restroom will remain on the plans as an Additive Bid Alternate. Blake explained the City
would prefer to have a restroom at this site in the future, as more amenities are
constructed and visitor traffic will be much higher, with longer stays at the site.
Agreement was reached that when bids are received, a final decision will be made, with
the most likely outcome that the restroom will not be awarded now, but rather project
funds will be reserved for construction of the restroom in the future. Third, site lighting
will be provided that matches the existing lights in the Boat Ramp parking lot.

Blane will get these decisions to the design firm, and KHA will proceed to final plans and
specs, with advertisement to commence when plans are complete. Target for City
Council consideration to award the construction contract will be late March or early April.
Also, Blake will find out how funding transfers from the Community Foundation will work.
3.b. Lake Deepening: No updates.
3.c. Kayak Launch Grant: David called Mr. Daniel Streeter on his cell phone, so he can
join the discussion on this item. Terry explained the latest quote from AccuDock
increased by$5,000 for engineered stamped drawings. This cost can be avoided if we
are OK with stamped shop drawings, and the Committee agreed unanimously this is
fine. With this, Terry said the delivery time is 4-5 months after the order is placed.
Robert then explained that we must execute a contract between the City and TP&W
before the Launch is ordered, and this contract will be complete in March or April. This
puts completion of the Launch in the August time frame.
Daniel Streeter then explained he wants to proceed with his business, Puddle Pilots
LLC, to rent jet skis, kayaks, and paddle boats at Lake Wichita Park. The Committee
voted unanimously to express support for his business.
4. Discussion of Brick Sales and Fundraising Initiatives: David stated that several
more brick orders have been processed by Polar Engraving. Steve stated that he has not
been notified of any other prospective donations.
5. Other Business Matters: None.
5.a. Website Changes: David will contact Crystal Byrd to get our website content updated.
6. Adjournment: The meeting adjourned at 10:55 am.
