2. Approval of Minutes: February meeting minutes were approved unanimously. (Note
there was no March meeting.)
3. Project Updates:
3.a. Veteran's Plaza Master Plan:
Presentations are scheduled for the Kiwanis and Rotary. Josh will contact Austin
regarding grant applications at local foundations, to raise funds for the construction of the
Veterans Plaza Master Plan project. David will contact Tyson Traw regarding whether
the Committee can use a Design/Build type contract for future construction — this will
have an impact on the total project budget.
Steve stated the informative video on Lake Wichita was used during the Chamber visit to
Washington DC, and the rack cards are done. Steve will check on getting an invoice to
David from Hoegger Communications.
Steve stated he got a response from Dr. Clyde regarding the dredging project, and
everything is delayed until FY-2E, but Lake Wichita is at the head of this list.
3.c. Parks Master Plan: Scott stated that he has submitted two spurs for the Circle Trail
into the City's Capital Projects plan — one from Berends Landing to SAFB, and another
from SAFB up to, and west along Missile Road. Mike stated the construction contract
April 8, 2025
for the Circle Trail section behind Camp Fire will be considered for award at an
upcoming City Council meeting. David stated that the City is working on an Alternative
Transportation grant application for the Circle Trail section from Larry's Marine to
Barnett Road.
