Council Preview Flags Old Town Parking Agreement Termination, Title Cleanup and New Parking Deal Tied to Property Sale
Summary
City staff told the council the May 27 consent agenda will include terminating expired Old Town parking agreements to clear title for a property sale and establishing a new parking agreement with the incoming owner; an amended agreement related to Old Town parking enforcement and improvements will also be considered on May 20.
City Manager Layton told the Wichita City Council that the May 27 consent agenda includes terminating several expired Old Town parking agreements to allow the sale of a parcel and the establishment of a new parking agreement with the new property owner.
Layton said there are “like, 8 outstanding old, agreements reflecting what this property has been over the years,” which staff are trying to clear so the property can be sold and a single new parking agreement established. He did not specify the parcel address or the buyer in the preview comments and told the council he would provide more information when the item is on the next week’s agenda.
Separately, on the May 20 preview Layton also flagged a proposed amended agreement with the car park to reflect the removal of Delano and changes in the funding of Old Town parking enforcement and improvements. That May 20 item would approve an amended agreement “to reflect the removal of Delano and changes in the funding of the Old Town parking enforcement and improvements,” according to Layton’s remarks.
Why it matters: terminating multiple historical agreements and creating a single parking agreement could change who manages Old Town parking rights, enforcement funding and responsibilities tied to a property sale. The transcript did not include details about the parcel, the purchaser, the proposed terms of a new agreement, or any votes; those details were not specified and staff said they would provide more information on the subsequent agenda.
At the preview stage, council members asked for the location; Layton said he did not have that information on hand and would supply it at the next meeting.
