Discussion Summary

1.	Pete Giroux and Jim Weber presented an overview of the changes proposed in the 
County's 2007-2011 CIP. New projects and previous project adjustments were 
reviewed with the Committee.

2.	Jay Newton presented a summary of major projects currently under consideration 
in the City's CIP.  No CIP update is likely this year, but the long-term goal is to 
do an annual update. A key initiative currently underway is the development of a 
CIP database project tracking system that will track all CIP-funded city projects. 
In response to a question from the Committee, Jay was going to investigate 
whether or not there was a city sewer extension project planned along Ridge 
Road, north to 53rd Street North. Elizabeth Bishop also stated that there was a 
need for a corridor study along that portion of Central Avenue, east of Hillside, to 
address issues related to road widening and commercial redevelopment of the 
corridor.

3.	Janet Miller gave a presentation on the current PROS (Park, Recreation, Open 
Space) initiative of the Park Board to update the 1996 Park and Open Space Plan 
over the next 18-24 months. The goal is to utilize a community-based, regional 
approach in updating the Plan. Visioneering Wichita has agreed to play a 
coordinating role in the process of reaching out to the visioneering community 
partners. The Park Board has recently approved an RFP to hire a consultant to 
complete the City's portion of the Plan update. Scott Wadle then gave an 
overview of the PROS process that would be utilized in updating the Plan. 
Following Scott's presentation, the Committee commented that it was important 
to consider School District facilities and private recreation facilities in the 
inventory of community recreational assets. The Committee also agreed that it 
was important to assess current recreation trends and the needs/desires of 
community residents. Public involvement in this Plan update process will be 
important. 

4.	Scott Knebel and Harland Priddle gave a brief presentation on the recently 
completed K-96 Corridor Economic Development Plan, and its implementation 
agenda. Reno and Sedgwick Counties undertook this plan in partnership with Mt. 
Hope, Maize, Haven and South Hutchinson, with the goal of coordinating and 
promoting the development of the K-96 corridor. The Sedgwick County Board of 
Commissioners has indicated support for this plan, and has proposed that it be 
adopted as an amendment to the Wichita-Sedgwick County Comprehensive Plan. 
The city councils of Maize and Mt. Hope have already adopted this plan, as has 
the Reno County Board. The Committee requested that a presentation on the Plan 
be made to the MAPC at the July 6th meeting, and that further Advance Plans 
Committee meetings be held over the next month or two to review the 
ramifications of the implementation items contained in the Plan.

5.	The next Committee meeting will be held on July 6th at 7:35 a.m.  

Meeting was adjourned at 9:32 a.m.
