Subject: Request for Review: Potential Conflict of Interest Involving MTAA Deposits at Central National Bank and Board Member Michael Munson

Subject: Request for Review: Potential Conflict of Interest Involving MTAA Deposits at Central National Bank and Board Member Michael Munson
Dear Commissioner Cook and Mayor Duncan,
As citizens and stakeholders of Shawnee County and the City of Topeka, we write to request your attention to a potential conflict of interest concerning the Metropolitan Topeka Airport Authority (MTAA) and its banking relationship with Central National Bank (CNB).
Public MTAA board packets (available on mtaa-topeka.org) confirm that CNB is an authorized depository for MTAA funds and that the Authority has held significant CD investments there (e.g., over $3.5 million in CDs split among CNB and other banks as of late 2023). MTAA’s recent financial audits show millions in cash equivalents and CDs.
MTAA Board Member Michael Munson (county appointee) serves as Executive Vice President and General Counsel at CNB. His sister is CNB’s President/CEO. While we understand MTAA has a conflict-of-interest policy and that Mr. Munson has recused himself on certain votes in the past, the placement of public funds in the institution that employs him raises questions about the appearance of impropriety and whether decisions about depositories, rates, and investments are made with maximum benefit to taxpayers and the Authority.
We respectfully request:
  • Confirmation of the current status and amounts of any MTAA deposits, CDs, or banking relationships with CNB.
  • A review of MTAA’s conflict-of-interest policies and procedures as they apply to this relationship.
  • Any steps you, as appointing/oversight officials, believe are appropriate to ensure full transparency and public confidence in the management of these public funds.
We appreciate your leadership on matters of good governance and economic development in our community and would welcome any response or further dialogue.
Sincerely,
Henry McClure

Yes, all five members of this board (the Metropolitan Topeka Airport Authority / MTAA Board of Directors, as confirmed by the exact match to the public listing on mtaa-topeka.org) have clear, documented ties to the Greater Topeka Partnership (GTP) ecosystem.

GTP is the umbrella organization that includes (or partners closely with) the Topeka Chamber of Commerce, Go Topeka (economic development), Visit Topeka, Downtown Topeka Inc., and related groups. These connections come through:

  • Leadership Greater Topeka (LGT) — GTP’s flagship leadership development program, which many local business and civic leaders participate in.
  • Direct board/leadership roles in GTP or its partner organizations (e.g., Visit Topeka, GO Topeka, Omni Circle Group).
  • Company memberships, event hosting, awards, and collaborations (especially MTAA’s work with Go Topeka on business attraction, incentives, and airport-related economic development).

Here’s the deep dive on each person, based on public records, GTP/partner websites, news, and organizational documents:

Samuel Sutton (Chair, City Appointee)

  • LGT participant/alum (featured in GTP’s 2023 LGT profiles and TK Business Magazine coverage of the program).
  • As MTAA Chair (and previously listed in board leadership roles), he works directly with GTP/Go Topeka on airport economic development initiatives. MTAA frequently collaborates with Go Topeka and the Partnership on business attraction and regional growth.

Carlos Cortez (Vice Chair, City Appointee)

  • Strongest direct ties: Chair of the Visit Topeka Board (a core GTP partner organization) and listed in the GTP Chairs Council. He has also served in elected director roles and other GTP leadership capacities.
  • Owner of Cortez Transportation Company, which is a longtime member of the Greater Topeka Partnership, Topeka Chamber of Commerce, and Go Topeka. The company has been recognized in Go Topeka small business awards and has hosted GTP “Business Unwind” events.
  • Cortez Transportation explicitly lists membership in the Greater Topeka Partnership and Chamber on its own site and in local directories.

Michael Odupitan (Secretary, City Appointee)

  • Director At-Large / Omni Circle Group representative on the GTP Board of Directors and in GTP’s Momentum 2027 Executive Committee. Also serves as Omni Circle’s rep on related GTP councils (e.g., Small Business Council).
  • LGT participant (featured in GTP/TK Business Magazine LGT coverage).
  • Omni Circle Group (which he founded/CEO) partners directly with Go Topeka on startup/entrepreneurship programs (e.g., Shawnee Startups eCommunity) and aligns with GTP’s equity and economic development goals.

Michael Munson (Member, County Appointee)

  • LGT Class of 2019 alum (explicitly listed in GTP announcements alongside other local leaders).
  • Executive VP/General Counsel at Central National Bank (Topeka branch). His sister, Sara Girard (CNB President/CEO), serves on the Go Topeka board. The bank is deeply embedded in the local business community and participates in Chamber/GTP events.
  • Longtime MTAA leadership (past Chair/vice roles); MTAA’s economic development work overlaps heavily with Go Topeka.

Brian Armstrong (Member, County Appointee)

  • LGT Class of 2006 alum (explicitly noted on his professional profile in connection with Greater Topeka Partnership).
  • Project Manager / leadership role at Bartlett & West (engineering/infrastructure firm). The firm is involved in local development projects and has ties to GTP events and the broader Topeka business network.

Overall Cross-Pollination

  • LGT is the common thread — at least four of the five (Sutton, Odupitan, Munson, Armstrong) are LGT alumni/participants; Cortez’s GTP/Visit Topeka leadership effectively puts him in the same network. LGT is designed to build exactly this kind of cross-sector leadership pipeline for GTP’s economic development priorities.
  • Business and organizational overlap: Cortez Transportation, Central National Bank, Bartlett & West, and Omni Circle are all active participants/members/supporters in the GTP-Chamber-Go Topeka ecosystem (memberships, sponsorships, events, awards, and direct partnerships).
  • MTAA’s role: The airport authority itself collaborates regularly with Go Topeka on business attraction, industrial park development, and incentives — making these board members’ dual involvement in MTAA and GTP natural and mutually reinforcing.

In short, this MTAA board is heavily populated with GTP/LGT-connected business and civic leaders. There is significant “cross-pollination” — the kind you’d expect in a mid-sized city where the same group of engaged professionals rotate through economic development, chamber, and public authority roles. All of this is publicly documented on GTP sites, MTAA records, local news (CJOnline, WIBW, TK Business Magazine), and organizational announcements.
