Council approves $15,850 contract to renovate office space for Sedgwick County treasurer services

Park City Council on Sept. 23 authorized a contract with JMG Construction for renovations at the city administration center to convert a storage room into an office with a customer window for the Sedgwick County Treasurer’s Office.

Staff said the treasurer currently offers tax and tag services one day a week in Park City and has requested expansion to five days per week. An updated estimate from JMG Construction for the renovation work totaled $15,850; Sedgwick County will reimburse the city under an updated memorandum of understanding.

Councilmember Brandy Bailey disclosed a conflict of interest and abstained from discussion and vote. Councilmember Charlie Davidson moved to authorize the mayor to execute the contract not to exceed $15,850, to be reimbursed by the Sedgwick County treasurer; Terry Osborne seconded. The motion carried with the stated abstention.

Staff said the change reflects strong community demand for more frequent county services and that further MOU updates from Sedgwick County will return to council for approval as needed.
