Jerry McKenzie with MGT of America is scheduled to attend. Awerkamp welcomed additional questions and concerns from the Commissioners. Pearl noted costs associated with McKenzie s previous review of the electric rate structure in Awerkamp will provide McKenzie with the handout and request an estimate on charges for his services. 1 st Street Drainage Drippe` and Awerkamp provided a list of potential contractors and proposal for bidding the project, to include two options. This will be put out to bid after Drippe` more clearly refines some of the specifics. Pearl noted his concern with the amount of time spent on this drainage issue. Pearl and Cordell have been contacted by other residents with drainage problems that may also need to be addressed. Resolution No Sidewalks Awerkamp and Bryan updated the Commission on the recent sidewalk replacement in the area of 4 th Street and Bertrand Avenue. The resident at 311 W Palmer has requested a 5 foot sidewalk instead of a 4 foot sidewalk. The resident agreed to pay for the concrete for the 1 foot difference and finishing that section.

Previously approved items include the following: (1) Installing a backstop for a practice field at the Flats; (2) Organized parking on 5 th Street from Lasley to the main ball diamond at Riverside Park, (to include installing millings, striping, bumpers, etc.); (3) Repair the fireplaces, cosmetically, in the shelter houses (not necessarily to be functional); (4) Decking at the baby pool gets warm (can we apply a covering, etc.) (5) No Loitering and/or Anyone under 18 to be accompanied by an adult signage for the shelter houses to prevent more vandalism. Due to the number of kids enrolled in the summer ball program, there is not enough practice fields at Riverside Park. Awerkamp reiterated the need for patience as the park improvement area will be utilized after the grass is well established. Pearl stressed the need for communication between the city and the Recreation Department prior to any improvements to the new area. Cordell noted that Sean Juno, was hired as the Clubhouse Manager/Recreation Director, and begins work May 11 th.

Notices were mailed as required and the St. Marys Planning Commission held a public hearing on April 27, 2015, for the purpose of receiving public comment regarding a request by Native Hardwoods, LLC., represented by Bob Awerkamp, to rezone an approximate acre parcel located in Section 14, Township 10S, Range 12E, in Pottawatomie County, Kansas, from the Light Industrial District (I-1) to the Agricultural Zoning District (A-1). The purpose for the rezoning was to conform the land to its actual use (a tree farm) and that due to the drainage/location in the floodplain; the property would probably never be used for industrial purposes. The Planning Commission voted unanimously to recommend to the city commission that the Native Hardwoods, LLC. zoning map amendment request, which would rezone the property in question from the Light Industrial District (I-1) to the Agricultural Zoning District (A-1), be approved.

VOTE: AYE Drippe`, Moats, Pearl, Bryan. Motion carried. Commissioner Awerkamp returned to the discussion.

Resolution No Second Amendment to the Agreement Creating the KPP Adopting this resolution would authorize city officers to execute the second amendment to the agreement creating the KPP. After discussion, a motion was made by Bryan and a second by Awerkamp to adopt Resolution No as presented. VOTE: AYE Drippe`, Awerkamp, Moats, Pearl, Bryan. Motion carried.
