ITEM: Resolution Number 22-8064
Consideration of a resolution designating the stage at Santa Fe Avenue and Ash Street as a qualified
municipal facility.
BACKGROUND:
As part of the procedure of naming (002) the new stage on the corner of Santa Fe Avenue and Ash
Street, the municipal facility much first be designated a qualified municipal facility.
The stage at Santa Fe and Ash St. was built as part of the downtown revitalization efforts and a request
for a License Agreement for a portion of Campbell Plaza, where the stage structure was previously
placed. Building owners and contractors involved with the Campbell Plaza redesign determined that the
existing stage structure was incompatible with the best use and function of the redesigned plaza.
As a result of design and function challenges, the City Commission approved a license agreement with
Wheat State Hospitality, LLC, with stipulations that a suitable location for the stage structure be secured.
After exploring various options, the northeast corner of the city -owned parking lot at Santa Fe Ave. and
Ash St. was determined to be the best location forthe stage structure to be installed. The City contracted
with Restore Properties, LLC and they installed the new stage in the fall of 2021 and completed
construction in the spring of 2022. Programming has been taking place regularly on the stage and
parking lot since May 1, 2022. Reservations for the space are open to the public and prioritized for Arts
& Humanities and Salina Downtown Inc. to program events for the public.
A Naming of Municipal Facilities Application (003) has been delivered to the City Clerk's office. After
the stage is designated as a qualified municipal facility the City Clerk will verify compliance of the naming
initiative and then it will be reviewed by the Arts & Humanities Commission. When the Arts & Humanities
commission makes a recommendation the name will be brought forward for the City Commission's
consideration.
Installation Budget Expenses
There are no budgetary implications associated with designating the stage as a qualified municipal
facility.
COMMISSION ACTION:
The following have been identified as possible options for consideration by the Commission:
1. Approve resolution number 22-8064 designating the stage at Santa Fe Avenue and Ash Street
as a qualified municipal facility.
2. Direct staff to provide additional information.
3. Deny the recommendation of the proposed designation.

Information supporting the naming of the stage at Santa Fe Ave. and Ash St.
Conversations with downtown stakeholders, Salina Downtown Inc. (SDI) staff and board, Salina
Arts & Humanities (SAH) staff, and Chamber of CommerceNisit Salina representatives about
possible names have been facilitated by SAH staff since the relocation of the stage structure in
fall 2021. During this time, there have been further developments related to strengthening
community identity and pride, some of which were shared by Travis Young with City
Commissioners in the spring of 2022. During his presentation, Mr. Young highlighted the "Love
Salina" campaign. He shared the concept of "Big City Lights, Small Town Love" as an underlying
theme that individuals, businesses, and cultural organizations might adopt with their marketing
and promotion of the community and all it has to offer using this open -source brand.
With this new effort in mind, the SAH staff recommends "City Lights Stage" as the name for the
new stage. Strong public/private partnerships that have been instrumental to the success of
downtown revitalization would be reflected in this name without commercializing the space using
a specific business sponsorship. The key components for this recommendation include:
• City - Refers to the stage being a project of the City
of Salina rather than an organization or business.
There is also an abstracted city map featured on the
stage mural.
Lights - This can be a literal translation of the LED
lighting on the street -facing elements of the stage
and the predominance of lighting as a defining
element in the downtown redesign. It can also be
figurative for the stage activities highlighting
community. The daytime elements of light and
shadow created by the stage roof skylights also
create interesting patterns when the LEDs are not
in use. Finally, the recently completed mural has
visual elements that reference day and night
perspectives of people interacting with a City map.
Physical Improvements
City staff will develop affordable, functional, and
appropriate designed panels that will incorporate the name
of the stage, to be affixed to the front of the stage. Private
funding options will be explored once the design has been
completed. The Design Review Board and City
Commission will consider this addition at a later date.
