Tea Pot owner briefs council on plan to remove tower in KDOT easement, aims for Sept. 18 completion
Summary
Julie Gooch of the Tea Pot told the council she is hiring an engineer and will seek bids to take down a tower located in a KDOT easement; she named Ramon Lujan as the city point of contact and said she hopes to finish the project by Sept. 18, 2026.
Julie Gooch, representing the Tea Pot, presented a handout and described plans to take down an existing tower that sits in a Kansas Department of Transportation (KDOT) easement.
Gooch said she is "hiring a engineer for plans" and that the city should contact KDOT because the tower is inside a KDOT easement. She asked that Ramon Lujan serve as her city point of contact and said she would like the project completed by "September 18, 2026." The minutes state the legs of the old tower "will not be used, but could be used for something else or scrapped and the money used for another project in the city."
The council did not record a motion on the item; the minutes list no formal action but note follow‑up with city maintenance and KDOT would be needed if the project proceeds.
