Mayor Whipple stated there was an article in the Wichita Eagle yesterday regarding the old Mead's Corner building and that there will be a bank on the bottom level. Mayor Whipple stated that his question for the City Manager is concerning sales tax and if we are going to have problems paying back the bonds if there is a business in that area that does not generate much sales tax. Mayor Whipple stated he assumes that banks do not generate as much sales tax as a coffee shop. Mayor Whipple asked if the City Manager could respond to that for those who are watching. Robert Layton, City Manager, stated that is in the CID District and the CID proceeds will be used for converting the street to two-way and we have adjusted the boundaries to recognize the loss of that revenue and anticipated sales tax revenue from that location. Stated we will still take bids for the full length but we will take it in segments so that we can downsize. Stated in all likelihood we will be forced to reduce the size of the project. Council Member Frye stated that was a pay as you go CID and inquired if there was also proceeds from the sale of the parking lot that also helps cover some of the cost for the Emporia two-way. Robert Layton, City Manager, stated yes and it is already incorporated into the project that we think we can fund. Council Member Frye inquired as to how far we think we will be able to make it two-way with the limited funds. Robert Layton, City Manager, stated he will send the information out to the Council and Mayor. Stated we do have what we believe the boundaries are.  Page 3 CITY COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS AUGUST 25, 2020 Council Member Frye stated it makes sense and he believes Second Street to Dewey is what was approved when we did the design approval. Vice Mayor Claycomb stated it was further than that because Third Street was going to be converted to a stop sign. Stated she believes it is Dewey to Central. Council Member Frye stated it might have to be scaled Second Street to Dewey. Stated it would be good for clarification with the limited funds of how far we are going to be able to make that. Robert Layton, City Manager, stated he may have that information shortly and is waiting on the response to come through. Stated it is now a $400,000 project. Council Member Frye inquired if the $400,000 is the parking lot proceeds. Robert Layton, City Manager, stated we had a little bit of Capital Improvement Program funding tied to it as well. Vice Mayor Claycomb stated the sale of the parking lot was $300,000. Council Member Frye stated that if the entire first floor is a bank there is no sales tax generated from that. Mayor Whipple stated that is what he figured. Stated it was a good question that he figured since we have open discussion we might as well address it. Robert Layton, City Manager, stated the important thing to note is there is no debt that has incurred. Stated it is pay as you go and we are not left trying to find an alternative source. Mayor Whipple stated these questions about it came up today and he knows there are people concerned about it on the internet and understands if we do not have all of the answers right now as it was a little bit off the cuff. Stated if we need to discuss this further next week we can. Robert Layton, City Manager, stated that there is no Capital Improvement funding. Stated it is the $300,000 as the Vice Mayor said from the sale of the parking lot plus $100,000 from the sale of the lot to Planet Hair adjacent to their building. Stated he will go ahead and send something out regarding the boundaries and what we think we can get done with the $400,000 allocated. MOTION: Mayor Whipple moved to adjourn the meeting. Motion carried 7 to 0.
