Wichita Workforce Center 2021 N. Amidon, Suite 1100, Wichita

February 11, 2016 ~ 9:00a.m.

1. Welcome: Commissioner Carol Voran, Chair Commissioner Carol Voran, Kingman County, called the meeting to order.

2. Approval of Minutes from December 3, 2015 Kathy Sexton (Derby) (Council Member Carl Koster, Cheney) moved to approve the minutes from January 14, 2016. Motion adopted.

3. 2016 Work Plan and Regional Branding / Marketing Each year REAP develops an annual Work Plan detailing items of regional significance to be addressed and accomplished in the upcoming year. On October 15, 2015, the REAP Board of Directors adopted the 2016 Work Plan. One of the key items is for REAP to serve as a catalyst to develop a regional strategy to brand and market South Central Kansas to promote economic growth. Keith Lawing discussed REAP helping to convene a number of stakeholders in the region to identify strategies and develop a plan for branding the South Central Kansas region. This activity would be in line with the Blueprint for Regional Economic Growth (BREG) initiative and the regional export plan being led by Kansas Global Services. Some of the interest comes from the work viewed in South Carolina during the city to city trip to Greenville. There needs to be a consistent message for the region. Over the past few months REAP members and staff observed a number of successful models of regional branding and marking. These include the Kansas City region, Northwest Arkansas and Greenville South Carolina. Links to websites for these organizations are below.

Examples of regional branding shown to members: http://www.tenatthetop.org http://www.nwacouncil.org http://www.upstatescalliance.com

Shelly Hansel talked about a small marketing strategy that was done called Travel I35. It included Emporia, ElDorado, Wichita, and Wellington. Visit Wichita originally started some of this work and it was suggested staff reach out to them to see where they were in the process.

REAP Executive Committee Item #2 May 12, 2016 Submitted By: Marla Canfield

Discussion about what makes sense for our region. Who else has a stake in this process? Is REAP is creditable and able to be the convener of the group? The strategy is very important to this process.

The Committee urged staff to move forward with developing some ideas around regional branding. Recommended action: provided actions to initiate creation of a regional branding and marketing strategy for South Central Kansas.

• Paula Downs (WSU)-will gather information about regional branding strategies including costs, methods, and capabilities.

REAP members are also encouraged to make contact with legislators outside of the luncheon if possible. Staff can assist with outreach to specific legislators. Committee would like to see a good mix of city and county members at the lunch. The format of the meeting is discussion-based as opposed to formal presentations. Commissioner Carol Voran and Mayor Terry Sommers will give an overview of REAP and facilitate the discussion among the Delegation and the members.

REAP Executive Committee Item #3.A May 12, 2016 Submitted By: Keith Lawing

Item: Transportation Taskforce Background: REAP has had a long history in focusing on regional transportation issues. The Prosperity Plan highlighted a need for more regional coordination on transportation to enhance the economy. BREG has also identified it as an issue. REAP has coordinated in partnership with WAMPO on a transportation taskforce for past two years. Some common themes repeatedly asked are: How does the region go to the next level? What can be done? Outcomes desired for a regional transportation strategy? How does the region come up with a common investment strategy? How to broaden partnerships with economic development agencies? WAMPO oversee federal funding in a three county area, and understands transportation projects have a regional significance beyond these immediate jurisdictions. WAMPO wants to support an identified regional strategy with federal dollars to align and leverage with state and local resources. Analysis: On April 25, REAP/WAMPO hosted a transportation planning meeting. Invited to the meeting were regional economic development agencies, REAP members, WAMPO members, local community leadership, BREG, private industry, state agencies. Misty Bruckner, WSU, facilitated the conversation and a written summary of the meeting will be provided. Participants discussed enhancing regional transportation cooperation and how to get a process moving forward. The primary action steps that came out of the conversation:

1. Develop a framework 2. Identify regional priorities 3. Action steps for a regional focus on transportation policy issues.

It was recommend REAP take the lead position in developing the framework for a regional transportation model and to begin a coordinated strategy. There will be presentations at upcoming REAP and WAMPO meetings. Attendance at April 25th Meeting:

Bryan Frye City of Wichita Council Member Jennifer Sczambeki Wichita (Regional) KTA Dan Woydziak Butler County Commissioner Tom Jones WAMPO / Park City Council Member Carol Voran Kingman County Commissioner Phil Nelson WAMPO Interim Director Jeff Longwell Wichita Mayor Keith Lawing REAP Jeff Lackey BREG Transystems Marla Canfield REAP Heather Denker BREG GWP Misty Bruckner WSU Dave Unruh Sedgwick County Commissioner

Item: Partnership to promote Eisenhower Airport Background: At the April 21, 2016, REAP Board of Directors meeting, Sonia Greteman proposed a strategy to promote new services by Southwest Airlines.
