(attached), and why certain improvements should be done collectively such as the Pickle Ball and
Tennis courts.
Mayor Morrison recessed the meeting at 2:06 p.m. The meeting reconvened at 2:21 p.m.
Discussion continued regarding the inclusion of a beverage service area in the Plan Design for
beverage sales during events, Tennis in the City dates to 1976, the number of courts required for
team tournaments, the sufficient amount of stormwater area based on the Plan design,
completing the Project in two phases with underground improvements starting first, Mr.
Mingonet's caution in over -design for stormwater improvements, support for going forward with
$150,000 for stormwater design, and starting a memorial paver program which would need to be
vehicular and pedestrian rated. Administrative/Financial Services Director DeLeo discussed the
importance of financing the Project. Discussion continued regarding areas and structures to be
demolished, impacts on Friday Fest and moving the event to a temporary location, and the lowest
point in the Center Street Basin area located in proximity to the Civic Hub Project. Capital Projects
Deputy Director Carlisle discussed how the middle 300 block of Fillmore, Taylor and Magnolia,
contains a high concentration of impervious surfaces, is the lowest area, and acts as a gully taking
on a lot of water. Discussion continued regarding utilizing the Mead & Hunt Center Street Basin
Stormwater System Analysis for KHA's design work, and how this discussion crystallized the scope
and direction of the Project. Shannon Roberts, resident and property owner, discussed concerns
including the overall flow and aesthetic design of the Civic Hub Master Plan, sufficient parking
and opportunities for Federal Funding. Discussion continued how the Civic Hub area will become
a greener space and a significant buffer along State Road A1A, desire to maintain existing trees,
moving the entry way arch feature to face State Road A1A, and preservation of the mural on Taylor
Avenue. KHA Engineer Randy Gonzalez, advised how the City needs to conduct a study to identify
the total volume needed for the new underground stormwater exfiltration system to handle both
the Civic Hub area first and the Presidential Streets second, to find out which of those streets the
City intends on treating/receiving stormwater from. City Manager Morley discussed possible
Council consensus based on the input received. Discussion ensued regarding providing KHA
access to all City stormwater studies, request for costs of more studies, and KHA study costs will
be based on the City studies already done to avoid duplication of data. Council reached
consensus for KHA to bring back a final conceptual design and a proposal for a Civic
Hub/Presidential Streets stormwater exfiltration system volume study within the next two
months. Discussion ensued regarding support for the Plan, thanks to Staff and KHA, and desire
to pursue grant funding opportunities for this Project.
Council Member Davis requested, out of respect and courtesy, that any consideration of future
meetings of Council, to schedule them at 4:00 p.m. or later, unless they are of an urgent nature.
Mayor Morrison made note of the request and thanked Council Member Davis
