Sedgwick County may be selling its property at the northwest corner of Washington and Waterman.
The county bought 50,415 square feet in 2007 to make improvements to the intersection in advance of Intrust Bank Arena opening.
There is 42,876 square feet left that the county doesn't need.
"We call it a remnant," says Steve Claassen , the county's facilities director.
Today, county commissioners will vote on whether to sell the land and how to do it. Most likely, it would be through a public sealed-bid auction.
"Several of the commissioners feel that this will be the most advantageous way and the most fair and transparent way," Claassen says.
"I think that they're committed to getting rid of this property. The question is, is this the proper approach to take?"
One commissioner questions whether the county should sell the land at all.
"Everybody's saying we need parking for the arena," says commissioner Kelly Parks . "I don't know why we'd want to sell that and then go buy something three blocks on the other side or around the arena."
Claassen says there is space for parking.
"It definitely could be a parking lot."
He says some adjacent property owners may have an interest in that, in fact.
Outside interest is what led to the issue coming up in the first place.
"It was prompted by several people who approached senior staff to ask whether it would be for sale," Claassen says. "Those inquiries were then taken to the commission."

Menswear move
East meets West meets Old Town .
Four months after opening in Boulevard Plaza at Lincoln and George Washington Boulevard, East & West Menswear is moving to 924 E. Douglas in Old Town.
That's near the northwest corner of Douglas and Washington.
"It's kind of a different concept," says owner Marquis Henley . "It's not so sporty as the first store was."
Initially, the store focused on men's swimwear and high-end underwear.
Now the store will be renamed East & West Menswear With a New Direction and will sell men's clothing.
"It's kind of a mix of Armani and Banana Republic ," says Henley, who says he'll sell that style of clothing, though not those brands exactly.
Henley once lived in California, and he says he's going for an LA chic style in the store.
He'll even have a DJ stand and have music on the weekends for a lounge feel.
It's something he's seen done in Los Angeles and wants to try here.
Boulevard Plaza is "one of those hit-and-miss locations," Henley says.
Customers had to know about his shop and want those items, he says.
"Now, with moving to a bigger location in Old Town, we'll get a lot more of the foot traffic as well."
The store will open Aug. 3 and celebrate a grand opening Aug. 7.
Finally, an answer
After weeks and weeks of the corporate office at Petland saying it didn't know what was going on with the store here, there's now an answer.
But not from corporate.
The previous owner closed the store at One Kellogg Place at Kellogg and Greenwich this spring.
Now, Brad Bockus , who is retired from the Air Force , is reopening it.
"I love animals," says Bockus, who has a cat, a dog, "a few fish and a little mouse."
The 7,000-square-foot store will remain mostly the same, though it will no longer sell fish.
It will sell bunnies, ferrets, hamsters, dogs and some kittens.
The store also will carry pet products and premium pet food.
Bockus hopes to open sometime in August.
You don't say
"Location matters. Now I'm 100 percent sure that's what I need."
