Transient Guest Tax Committee Meeting July 23, 2026

The City of Topeka's Transient Guest Tax Committee met on July 23, 2026, to discuss updates and funding related to the Sunflower Sports complex. Sunflower Sports provided a detailed presentation on their multi-phase development project, including the completion of phase one, plans for phase two involving installation of turf fields and lighting, and future phase three expansions with additional turf and hybrid fields. The committee discussed parking improvements, lighting installations, and potential event hosting to attract visitors. A key procurement-related action was the authorization to convey property back to Sunflower Sports, which the committee approved by motion, as the special assessments tied to the property had been fully paid off. No other procurement or budget items were addressed during the meeting.
