Salina commission schedules special session to discuss Chamber funding and baseball facility proposal
Summary
The Salina City Commission agreed to schedule a special meeting Wednesday at 2:30 p.m. to meet in executive session to finish negotiations on a Chamber of Commerce funding agreement and to consider a newly received proposal related to baseball facilities.
Salina City Commissioner Linkowitz announced the commission will hold a special meeting Wednesday at 2:30 p.m. to enter executive session for two agreement negotiations: a final discussion on the Chamber of Commerce funding agreement and consideration of a recently received proposal regarding baseball facilities.
The special meeting was described by a commissioner during the Jan. 13 City Commission meeting as intended to conclude in time for a separate photo opportunity showcasing a new barricade the police department has taken delivery of; the barricade was described as partially funded by the city, the Law Enforcement Excellence Fund and the Daryl Wilson Foundation.
Why it matters: both items under discussion involve funding and contract terms that the commission said require private deliberation with staff and negotiators. The city indicated the need for an executive session to protect negotiating positions on agreements.
Details: a commissioner asked colleagues and staff to confirm availability for the Wednesday afternoon meeting; the stated agenda items were (1) a final conversation related to the Chamber of Commerce funding agreement and (2) consideration of a recently received proposal related to baseball facilities. Commission discussion did not include the text of any proposed agreement, dollar amounts, or vendor names at the Jan. 13 meeting.
No formal vote on contract terms occurred during the Jan. 13 session. The commission indicated staff will schedule the meeting and finalize logistics. Any formal action on the agreements is expected to be announced after the executive-session deliberations and any permitted public motion or vote.
A review and documentation of the meeting schedule and any resulting motions will be posted to the commission’s agenda materials after the special meeting.
