City of Shawnee

The scheduled meeting did not take place due to a lack of a quorum.

The meeting focused on addressing operational challenges following a tornado event. The authority approved a resolution to temporarily stay rental rate increases for tenants through the 2023-2024 fiscal year. Additionally, the authority granted the City Manager the power to execute aircraft storage leases and lease amendments to facilitate tenant retention and relocation efforts.

The board considered and approved a budget amendment for Fiscal Year 2022-2023 totaling $3,000,000 for the Shawnee Municipal Authority Fund. The amendment facilitates the transfer of funds to the Grant Fund to address emergency service contract costs necessitated by the April 19, 2023, tornado event.

The meeting was convened to address agenda items for the Shawnee Airport Authority. There was no new business presented or discussed during the session, and the meeting concluded with the adjournment by the Chair.

The board discussed the appointment of a new chairperson and vice-chairperson, ultimately deciding to defer the matter. The meeting also addressed a variance request for the installation of a 120-foot sign at 4830 N. Harrison Avenue. The board reviewed staff reports, considered public comments regarding traffic and signage height, and heard arguments from the applicant before voting to deny the request for the 120-foot sign.
