Chuck Beth, South Central Kansas Economic Development, stated he was the administrator for this grant. He stated that part of the requirements for the grant was the creation of jobs. He also stated that the grant could not be closed out until the public hearing was held and the paperwork was signed to disburse the final funds. Mayor Fagg asked what an LMI job is. Mr. Beth stated that anyone who makes eighty percent or less than the County’s moderate income. BG Products was required to provide 51% of their jobs to LMI households. Mayor Fagg asked if this information was from this quarter. Mr. Beth stated that it was for the last quarter of 2013. Mayor Fagg asked about the 24 people listed. Mr. Beth stated that those individuals were new to BG Products. Mayor Fagg asked about the civil rights demographics. Mayor Fagg asked about the number of persons with disabilities. Mr. Beth stated that the number included the whole County. Mr. Beth stated that the demographics for the City were from the Census data and the other demographics page was specific to BG Products’ employees. Mr. Beth stated that it was only there in the case that the City paid an administrator. Commissioner Chase Locke moved to authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to sign the closing documents for the CDBG grant. Commissioner Nick Badwey seconded the motion. Mayor Fagg asked about the budget. Mr. Beth stated that the budget is negative because BG Products went above and beyond the required expenditure for the grant. Commissioner Bill Young thanked Mr. Beth and BG Products for this opportunity and stated that El Dorado was very lucky to have them. 2 EL DORADO CITY COMMISSION MEETING January 21, 2014 The other Commissioners echoed the sentiment. Motion carried 5 – 0. PUBLIC COMMENTS Mayor Michael Fagg opened the floor for public comments. There were no comments. CONSENT AGENDA Approval of Appropriation Ordinance 12-13 in the amount of $1,094,198.12. Mayor Michael Fagg asked what the prisoner care item was for. City Manager Herb Llewellyn stated that it was the amount paid to the County. Mayor Fagg asked about the clothing line item. City Clerk Tabitha Sharp stated that it was for bunker gear. Commissioner Bill Young moved that the Consent Agenda, as presented be approved. Commissioner Chase Locke seconded the motion. Motion carried 5 – 0. RESOLUTION OF SUPPORT – HOUSING DEVELOPMENT – COHEN-ESREY Scott Rickard, Assistant City Engineer, stated that Cohen-Esrey is applying to the State for tax credits in order to remodel the old middle school into affordable housing. He stated that the Commission passed a similar resolution last year, but the tax credits were not granted to the builders. They are asking for a resolution to reapply for those credits. Commissioner David Chapin asked what a work force tenant was. City Manager Herb Llewellyn stated that he was a member of the work force. Commissioner Chapin confirmed that it would be senior housing and working population. Mayor Michael Fagg asked if the City has any financial commitments to this project. City Manager Llewellyn stated that we did not. Mayor Fagg asked how this would affect other rental properties. City Manager Llewellyn stated that they are aware of the project. Last year the other owners told the Stated that the housing is not needed. City Staff think that better housing is a need in El Dorado. Linda Jolly, Economic Development Director, stated that a third party market study was done to assist with this project. She stated that the developers decided to include workforce individuals in order to not place a strain on existing senior citizen housing. She stated that the majority of the units will be subsidized. Mayor Fagg asked if there was any merit in putting this topic in the paper so that others could voice their opinion. 3 EL DORADO CITY COMMISSION MEETING January 21, 2014 Ms. Jolly stated that the vacancy rate in the existing subsidized units is less than ten percent. She stated that there are housing needs in this community for seniors and individuals with disabilities. City Manager Llewellyn stated that housing is an area that the Commission has requested that staff look at. He stated that this application has to be turned into the State by the end of the month. Ms. Jolly stated that other proposals are still being heard by the Housing Committee, but this one needed to be turned in because of the State deadline. City Manager Llewellyn stated that this could encourage other landlords to do repairs to their rentals in order to compete with the new housing. The end result is a more appealing housing stock in El Dorado. Commissioner Chapin stated he did not feel that the decision should be based on the idea that other rental properties might be hurt by this. He stated that if the Commission based their decision on that, then they would have to limit other businesses from coming to El Dorado. Commissioner Chase Locke stated that he didn’t feel that there are too many other options for the use of that building, and if a reliable company such as Cohen-Esrey wanted to develop it, we should encourage them. Commissioner Bill Young stated that the Kansas Housing Corporation will not approve the application if they feel it is not needed. He stated that this letter of support will help to keep the old building in tact and part of the community. He stated that it would also increase the neighborhood revitalization possibilities. Mayor Fagg stated he didn’t feel it was good to make a decision on this without further publicizing it to the community. Commissioner Young stated that if there was money involved in the process or they were asking for tax breaks, he would believe that it needed to be further vetted. This company is just asking for support to apply for tax credits at this time, something that is available to all developers. Mayor Fagg asked if the property would go back on the tax rolls. Mr. Rickard stated that it would, with a 95% rebate for five years. Commissioner Nick Badwey moved to approve Resolution 2727, a Resolution supporting the application to the Kansas Housing Resources Corporation for housing tax credits by Cohen-Esrey Affordable Partners, LLC. Commissioner David Chapin seconded the motion. Motion carried 5 – 0. AN ORDINANCE AMENDING TITLE 10 OF THE EL DORADO MUNICIPAL CODE PERTAINING TO SCHOOL ZONES AND SPEED ZONES Scott Rickard, Assistant City Engineer, stated that staff are asking the City Commission to consider an ordinance reducing the speed limits on North Main and an ordinance extending the school zone.

  • El Dorado Wildlife Area Newsletter 11-20-2014
    El Dorado Wildlife Area News Area News – Fall 2014 2014/2015 Hunting Outlook: Upland Birds: The fall hunting outlook for quail on the area is fair. Hunters should see quail numbers that are again increased as compared to last fall. Quail production in recent years (2007-2010) was believed to have been hampered by heavy rains, cool temperatures, and significant flooding during the critical reproductive months of May, June, and July. The 2011 and 2012 reproductive seasons however were notably different. Rather than too much moisture and associated cool temperatures, both years were marked with record breaking excessive heat and drought. Quail production during those years is believed to have suffered as well. More moderate weather conditions in 2013 and 2014 are believed to have resulted in improved production, as several coveys were observed or reported early this fall, but current quail populations remain below levels observed during 2005 and 2006 when quail populations were very good. Within most habitat areas, natural vegetation and area crops should provide good food and cover conditions for wildlife, including quail, and should help to sustain breeding populations into next spring. The wildlife area lies outside the primary range of ring-necked pheasant. Hunters occasionally encounter pheasants on the area, but numbers are low. Male bobwhite. Waterfowl: The fall hunting outlook for waterfowl on the area is fair. Waterfowl populations are reported to remain strong following another good production year within breeding habitats to the north. Habitat conditions however here are not nearly as strong as those experienced last year. Abundant precipitation and a slight flood in June kept lake levels full, or nearly so, for much of the summer.

  • El Dorado State Park Master Plan 2021
    El Dorado State Park Master Plan 2021 Purpose The purpose of this master plan is to guide current and future operations and development at El Dorado State Park. Reference to this plan will ensure that operations at El Dorado State Park meet the needs identified in the Statewide Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan (SCORP) 2020. This plan is required by the Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF); accepting such funds dedicates the park in perpetuity to outdoor recreation. Many LWCF funds were utilized in the development of El Dorado State Park after its initial completion in the mid 1980’s. Grant funding from LWCF, the Recreational Trails Fund, and many others are critical to development of recreational opportunities in all Kansas state parks. Guidance from this plan also ensures that development will be in alignment with the Department mission statement: • Conserve and enhance Kansas’s natural heritage, its wildlife and its habitats—to ensure future generations the benefits of the state’s diverse, living resources; • Provide the public with the opportunity for the use and appreciation of the natural resources of Kansas, consistent with the conservation of those resources; • Inform the public of the status of the natural resources of Kansas to promote understanding and gain assistance in achieving this mission. Park history and background El Dorado State Park is a 4,000-acre facility located adjacent to the 8,000 surface acre El Dorado Reservoir. Adjacent to the park is the 4,000-acre El Dorado Wildlife Area. The lake encompasses almost 100 miles of shoreline, depending on water level.
