	PUBLIC AGENDA

	Gary Williamson-Water Drainage Problems, 5549 North Athenian.

Gary Williamson	Gary Williamson stated that he has been having storm drainage problems for the last three to four years.  He has requested several times to have the drains cleaned out and has had no success.  Mr. Williamson said that a partial drain was installed this year in his back yard, but it is not enough to help with the problem.  Mr. Williamson feels that the drain needs to be installed in front of his house to 57th Street as they did to 53rd Street and in the back to be extended at least to 56th Street.  Mr. Williamson stated that the City stopped 400 feet short of fixing the problem.

	
	Marydel Grayum-Plastic Recycling of Kansas, Inc. (follow-up).

Marydel Grayum	Ms. Grayum stated that she is here again requesting use and space of a city owned building.  She feels that it is important that the City of Wichita be seen as doing something to help with recycling.  Stated that their final recycling drive was very successful and that their goal is to keep items out of the landfill whatever they might be.  She is not asking for money or staffing help but a building or warehouse space, which is a critical part of this plan.

Council Member Fearey	Council Member Fearey suggested that this might be an issue to discuss in a meeting with the county and school district since it is a community wide issue.

Mayor Mayans	Mayor Mayans requested that the City Council allow Carol Schlaser, from Planeview Park to speak on the Public Agenda.

	There were no objections from the Council.

Carol Schlaser	Carol Schlaser reported that the sale of Planeview Park land by the City of Wichita is in violation of the Land and Water Conservation Act.  The Land and Water Conservation fund agreement No. 20-00220, in 1972 was for 130 acres of Planeview Park including the area that the City sold.  These funds were provided by the Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks and the National Park Service and both entities have been notified of the sale of this encumbered land.  The Land and Water Conservation Fund Act stipulates that funded land has to be maintained and available to the public for recreation forever.  Before any sale of this land could occur, first ,everything must be done properly by City law and secondly the State of Kansas Wildlife and Parks must be contacted to be certain that what is being done is not in violation of the Land and Water Conservation Act. 
	
	This park land cannot be sold without the permission of the Secretary of Interior of the United States.  If sale of park land should be allowed, negotiations would probably require the City to purchase replacement park land.  Ms. Schlaser is requesting that the City of Wichita act immediately and not allow demolition or construction on this park land site until the numerous legal issues have been addressed. 

Council Member Fearey	Council Member Fearey stated that this sounds like a bad situation that we might be getting into and if a building permit has been issued for the building at that site.

Gary Rebenstorf	Gary Rebenstorf stated that this issue should be looked into right away.

Council Member Fearey	Council Member Fearey stated that item jj) the improving of 31st North, there are some concerns about the delay and why it took so long. 

Neil Cable	Neil Cable explained that there were complications with this project and the initial scoping of the project is based on similar projects and on their cost information.  There were storm water issues that complicated the design and required a supplemental contract to address the design issues, which caused a delay.  It was bid three times and each time the bids came in over the engineer's estimate they were not able to award.

Mayor Mayans	Mayor Mayans inquired whether anyone wished to speak.

Robbie Carruth	Robbie Carruth stated that he lives at 3210 Woodland and has concerns with the total assessment that they were asked to pay, which have been increased by 36% from what they were originally told.  Mr. Carruth feels that the property owners in the benefit area should have been notified of the increase due to the delay.  Does not feel that they were treated fairly and felt like they were misrepresented.

Raymond John	Raymond John stated that his addition that he developed was taken into the City and a document was signed to give the City authority to take it in.  He is here to protest the paving of Cedar Downs, Cedar Crest and Wheatridge Drive in the Cedar Downs Addition.

Jim Tobin	Jim Tobin stated that he lives at 902 West 31st Street North and read a letter that was written by his neighbor that could not attend.  A petition was approved on July 25, 2000 for an estimate cost of $367,000.00 and final cost received on September 19, 2003 was $497,973.00, which is a 36% increase, which is unacceptable.  It is his understanding that during the planning stage of this project, delays were caused due to design and engineering changes and a leave of absence of the project engineer.  He feels that it would have been a common courtesy to have notified the homeowners since it was prior to construction.

Council Member Fearey	Council Member Fearey inquired about the options that Council has since the street has already been built and if the Council does not take the recommended action on this project.

Chris Cherches	Chris Cherches explained that if the Council wishes to take a different action by reducing the overall assessment by a specific amount, the Council could increase the City's allocation by an amount that they feel would be appropriate.  The funding could be from a number of sources or could be reallocated in the revised budget.  Mr. Cherches suggested that the Council defer this item until the next City Council Meeting so that he could bring back a report to the Council with some possible options to consider.

Motion--	Fearey moved that the public hearing be closed; the assessments be approved; and the Ordinances be
	placed on first reading with the exception of item jj) and that it be deferred to the next Council Meeting
     --carried	for further investigation and discussion.  Motion carried 7 to 0.

MID-CONT. INST.	REQUEST FOR A LETTEROF INTENT FOR INDUSTRIAL REFUNDING REVENUE BONDS-MID-CONTINENT INSTRUMENTS.  (DISTRICT II)

Allen Bell	Director of Economic Development reviewed the item.

	Agenda Report No. 03-1005

	On September 9, 1997, the City Council approved the issuance of Industrial Revenue Bonds in an amount of $4,200,000 to Mid-Continent Instruments. Bond proceeds were used to construct and equip a new aircraft instrument manufacturing headquarters facility and to purchase additional equipment located at Webb Road and 34th Street North.  Mid-Continent wishes to refinance its 1997 Bonds and is requesting City Council approval of a one-year Letter of Intent to issue Industrial Refunding Revenue Bonds in an amount not-to-exceed $3,300,000. 

	Mid-Continent Instruments designs, manufactures and distributes aircraft instruments.  The Company's principal products include a comprehensive lien of gyros, altimeters and autopilot components, clocks, pressure gauges, ammeters and fuel gauges.  Mid-Continent Instruments' instrument program is one of the largest in the world.  The company supplies gyros, altimeters and autopilot components to customers that build and operate aircraft, from light single-engine planes to heavy, twin corporate jets to helicopter operations. 

	Bond proceeds will be used to refund and redeem currently existing debt and pay costs of issuance.  The refinancing of the IRB's will result in a significant reduction in annual debt service payments and will shorten the term of indebtedness by one year.

	An analysis of the sources and uses of project funds is:

		Redemption of Series IX-A, 1997 Bonds	$3,190,000
		Redemption of Series IX-B, 1997 Bonds	55,000
		Costs of Issuance			55,000
		Total Cost of Project		$3,300,000
	The Bonds will be purchased by Banc of America Securities in a private placement.  The firm of Hinkle Elkouri Law Firm, L.L.C. will serve as bond counsel in the transaction. 

	Mid-Continent agrees to pay all costs of issuing the bonds and agrees to pay the City's $2,500 annual IRB administrative service fee for the term of the bonds.  

	Mid-Continent Instruments received a tax abatement on the property purchased and constructed with the proceeds of the 1997 Bonds.  This property will continue to be exempted from Kansas ad valorem property taxes for the remaining four-year period permitted by Kansas law.

	Bond documents needed for the issuance of the bonds will be prepared by bond counsel.  The City's Law Department will review and approve all final bond documents prior to the issuance of the bonds.

Mayor Mayans	Mayor Mayans inquired whether anyone wished to speak and no one appeared.

Motion--	Schlapp moved that the one-year Letter of Intent to Mid-Continent Instruments for Industrial Refunding Revenue Bonds in the approximate of $3,300,000, subject to the Standard Letter of Intent Conditions, 
     --carried	be approved and the necessary signatures be authorized.  Motion carried 7 to 0.



LEE AEROSPACE	REQUEST FOR LETTER OF INTENT FOR INDUSTRIAL REVENUE BONDS-LEE AEROSPACE, INC.  (DISTRICT II)

Allen Bell	Director of Economic Development reviewed the item.

	Agenda Report No. 03-1006

	On March 16, 1999, the City Council approved the issuance of Industrial Revenue Bonds in an amount of $3.5 million and a five-plus-five year 100% tax exemption on bond-financed property to Lee Aerospace.  Proceeds from the bond issue were used to acquire property and construct a new facility including 30,000 s.f. for manufacturing space and 8,000 s.f. for office space.  Lee Aerospace is now planning to expand its plant space and requests the issuance of a six-month Letter of Intent for IRBs in the amount not-to-exceed $1,200,000.

	Lee Aerospace, Inc., located at 9323 E. 34th Street North in northeast Wichita, is a local corporation founded in 1989.  Lee Aerospace is a leading manufacturer of unheated windshields, flight deck and cabin windows and repairs acrylic aircraft windows, supplying Boeing, Raytheon, Cessna, and Learjet aircraft.
	
	Lee Aerospace has the capabilities to design, develop, test, and manufactures aircraft windows and sheet metal sub-assemblies.  Designs can be produced from concept to production in virtually any size configuration of single-ply or multi-ply flat, curved or compound contoured aircraft windows.  Lee Aerospace brings a unique service to the aircraft industry that has been a vital part of the Wichita community for the past 14 years.

	Lee Aerospace was acquired in 1999 by The Triumph Group, an aerospace conglomerate with headquarters in Wayne, Pennsylvania and over 30 affiliates nationwide.  The association with The Triumph Group has provided Lee Aerospace with the opportunity to expand and diversify its product line and to expand its role as an out-sourcing supplier to the aviation industry.

	Bond proceeds will be used to construct a new facility including 18,000 s.f. for manufacturing space on land already owned by an entity related to the company.   Lee Aerospace will add an additional 20 new jobs over the next five years.  Under the 1999 Bonds, the company agreed to add 50 jobs.  They had added 30 new jobs by September 11, 2001 when the downturn in aviation intensified.  They have since reduced their workforce by 25, to a current level of 55 employees.

	An analysis of the uses of project funds is:

	Land				$1,000,000
	Building and Improvements	167,740
	Landscape			32,260	
	Total Cost of Project		$1,200,000	

	The firm of Hinkle Elkouri Law Firm, L.L.C. will serve as bond counsel in the transaction.  The Bonds will be privately placed with the company's principal bank.  Lee Aerospace agrees to comply with the Standard Letter of Intent Conditions.  The company has re-engaged the services of Hutton Construction to serve as general contractor.  Hutton was chosen in 1999 to construct the company's headquarters and plant, after having advertised in the Wichita Eagle that the work of general contractor was available.  Because the current project is considered a continuation of the original master plan, the company did not advertise for a general contractor this time.  They did, however, advertise for sub-contractors.
 
	Lee Aerospace, Inc. agrees to pay all costs of issuing the bonds and agrees to pay the City's $2,500 annual IRB administrative fee for the term of the bonds.  Under the City's Business Incentive Policy, the Company qualifies for a 100% five-plus-five-year tax exemption on property purchased with bond proceeds.

	The estimated first year's taxes on Lee Aerospace's proposed $1,200,000 expansion would be $28,490, on real property improvements, based on the 2002 mill levy.  Using the allowable tax exemption of 100 percent, the City would be exempting (for the first year) $28,490 of new taxes from the real property tax rolls.  The tax exemption would be shard among the taxing entities as follows:  City - $7,961; Count/State - $7,569; and USD 259 - $12,960.

	The cost/benefit analysis based on the fiscal and economic impact model of the Wichita State University's Center for Economic Development and Business Research reflects cost/benefit ratios as follows:
			City of Wichita		1.70 to one 
			Sedgwick County 	1.90 to one
			USD 375		1.00 to one
			State of Kansas		9.87 to one	

	Bond documents needed for the issuance of the bonds will be prepared by bond counsel.  The City Attorney's Office will review and approve the form of bond documents prior to the issuance of any bonds.

Mayor Mayans	Mayor Mayans inquired whether anyone wished to speak and no one appeared.

Motion--	Schlapp moved that the Letter of Intent to Lee Aerospace, Inc. for Industrial Revenue Bonds in an amount not to exceed $1,200,000, subject to the Standard Letter of Intent Conditions for a term of six-months, and a 100% tax abatement on all bond-financed property for an initial five-year period plus an additional five-years following City Council review be approved, and the necessary signatures be 
     --carried	authorized.  Motion carried 7 to 0.

	Agenda Report No. 03-1007

	Council Member Schlapp momentarily absent.

	The City of Wichita's Domestic Violence Program has been in existence for 13 years. Over this period of time the City has worked in partnership with the Domestic Violence Coalition (a group of professional and interested individuals supportive of a strong and effective Domestic Violence program) to develop and implement recommendations to reduce the incidence of domestic violence in the community.

	At its July 22, 2003 City Council Workshop, the Mayor and Council Members were provided with a briefing on the most recent actions to address domestic violence. The presentation outlined the problems with the domestic violence system and identified actions underway by law enforcement, prosecution and the judicial system.  City staff, working in partnership with the Domestic Violence Coalition, developed a work plan outlining next steps that was also presented to the Council.

	City staff have continued to meet with members of the Domestic Violence Coalition to implement the work plan outlined at the July 22, 2003 City Council Workshop. One of the recommendations was to develop a Domestic Violence Initiative, a broad-based effort to scan the community's response to domestic violence.  One part of the Initiative is to implement a pilot program that utilizes trained volunteers to observe Municipal Court proceedings on domestic violence cases. The pilot program will be expanded to include observation of District Court cases including civil, criminal and family when resources are available.

	The Domestic Violence Initiative is obtain more information on the response by shelters and other victim service providers and offender services. Actions will be outlined on how to better utilize the media for better awareness of this community-wide problem. Prevention will play a key role reducing the incidence of domestic violence so the efforts by the school system and agencies involved in prevention programs will be studied. The role of the faith community and health care providers will be examined to look for ways to improve community response. Finally, the City, along with members of the Domestic Violence Coalition, will work on amendments to domestic violence legislation.

	Municipal Court proceedings are open to the public and observation is allowed.

Mayor Mayans 	Mayor Mayans inquired whether anyone wished to speak and no one appeared.

HARRY/MCLEAN	HARRY AT MCLEAN INTERSECTION IMPROVEMENT.  (DISTRICT IV)

Neil Cable	City Engineer reviewed the item.

	Agenda Report No. 03-1009

	The Capital Improvement Program (CIP) includes a project to improve the intersection of Harry at McLean.  On April 3, 2002, District Advisory Board IV sponsored a neighborhood hearing on the proposal.  The Board expressed support of the project.

	The original project was to provide left turn lanes at the north and south approaches to the intersection.  However, it was subsequently decided that traffic conditions warrant adding a left turn lane at the west approach to the intersection.  It is most cost effective to add this left turn lane to the present project and this change is supported by KDOT.  Drainage will be improved.  New traffic signals will be installed.  The available right-of-way will be landscaped.  The project is scheduled for construction in 2004.

	The estimated project cost is $990,000, with $250,000 paid by the City and $740,000 by Federal Grants administered by the Kansas Department of Transportation.  The funding source for the City share is General Obligation Bonds.  The original project is included in the approved 2002-2011 CIP for 2005 ($350,000 GO, $500,000 Federal), page 72.  The revised project is included in the proposed 2004-2013 CIP for 2004 ($250,000 GO, $740,000), page 19.

	Mayor Mayans	Mayor Mayans inquired if anyone wished to speak and no one appeared.

PAWNEE IMPROV.	IMPROVEMENT OF PAWNEE, WASHINGTON TO HYDRAULIC AND THE INTERSECITON OF PAWNEE AND WASHINGTON.  (DISTRICT III)

Neil Cable	City Engineer reviewed the item.

	Agenda Report No. 03-1010

	The Capital Improvement Program includes projects to improve Pawnee, between Washington and Hydraulic, and the intersection of Pawnee and Washington.  The District III Advisory Board held April 2, 2003, and September 3, 2003, neighborhood hearings on the projects.  The Board voted 9-0 to recommend approval.

	The proposed improvements consist of widening Pawnee between Washington and Hydraulic to provide four through lanes and a center two-way left turn lane.  The roadway will be shifted north with properties acquired on the north side of Pawnee.  Left turn lanes will be provided at all four approaches to the intersection of Pawnee and Washington.  The north approach of the intersection of Pawnee and Washington will be widened.

	The estimated cost of the Pawnee, Washington to Hydraulic, improvement is $2,825,000, with $1,600,000 paid by the City and $1,225,000 paid by Federal Grants administered by the Kansas Department of Transportation.  The estimated cost of the Pawnee and Washington intersection improvement is $1,385,000, with $625,000 paid by the City and $760,000 by Federal Grants administered by the Kansas Department of Transportation.  The funding source for the City share is General Obligation Bonds.

Council Member Fearey	Council Member Fearey inquired why the District Advisory Board recommended this option.

Neil Cable	Neil Cable explained that it was the preferred option of the four that were presented and that there were a couple options that were more expensive than this one.  The original project was to center the roadway and widen it without the need to acquire as many properties.

Council Member Fearey	Council Member Fearey stated that it looks to her like we are spending more money than was budgeted and also acquiring property which will be off the tax rolls.

	Council Member Brewer momentarily absent.

Council Member Gray	Council Member Gray stated that he would prefer that in the future if there are multiple options available and they are presented to the District Advisory Boards, that the Council Members also have those options available to them so they can have a more insightful decision.

Mayor Mayans	Mayor Mayans inquired if anyone wished to speak.

Carolyn Brand	Carolyn Brand stated that she owns the property located at 2351 Ellis.  This property was acquired by her father in 1942 and the property has since been signed over to her.  She and her husband are currently renovating the house, which they have stopped pending the decision of the City.  She is objecting to the roadway going north and that it would be more advantageous to the City to go with the original plan which is down the center and leave the properties alone.  She is asking that the Council consider the monetary difference.

Laura Cooper	Laura Cooper stated that she lives at 2355 Laura and that it would be cheaper to go on the north side instead of the south side because the south side of Pawnee is commercial.  Ms. Cooper is asking how long will it take to get their property appraised.

Lisa Dean	Lisa Dean stated that she lives at 2351 Victoria and she also agrees with Ms. Cooper and would like to be bought out.

Ken Farris	Ken Farris stated that he lives at 2348 Ellis and that the option that has been chosen will put the roadway five feet from his house.

	Council Member Schlapp momentarily absent.

Trish Foreaker	Trish Foreaker stated that she owns a business one block east of Washington on Pawnee and that at the neighborhood meeting it was geared more towards the homeowners.  Would like the Council to look at this closely for everyone involved and would think that the City would want to take the most cost effective approach.

No name given	Stated that he agrees with Council Member Gray and feels that the Council Members should have more information given to them regarding the different options.

Inaudible	Stated that he owns a business located at 1027 East Pawnee and that if this project goes through on the north side, Pawnee will be closed for almost a year, which would affect his business.  He is requesting that the Council Members review the option that would be the best for everyone.

Clifford Witherspoon	Clifford Witherspoon stated that he lives at 2347 Pattie Street and would like to know if he will be given a date for when he will be moved out of his home and will the City offer any assistance with relocating his family into a decent area.

Neil Cable	Neil Cable stated that he would advise people to visit with Property Management, John Philbrick, regarding relocation and the buyout.

Council Member Martz	Council Member Martz stated that he would like to have the opportunity to see what the other choices are and to defer this matter until the next Council Meeting.

Council Member Lambke	Council Member Lambke stated that he does not like the idea of deferral and that there were two DAB meetings held and everyone had an opportunity to voice their opinions and that this is the option that was recommended by the DAB.  This project is urgently needed and to delay it is not to anyone's advantage and would like to get this project started so the property owners can make plans and know how much money they will have to relocate.

Motion--	Lambke moved that this item be deferred until the next City Council Meeting.  Motion carried 
     --carried	7 to 0.


13TH ST. BRIDGE	13TH STREET BRIDGE OVER COWSKIN CREEK-WEST OF 119TH STREET WEST.  (DISTRICT V)

Neil Cable	City Engineer reviewed the item.

	Agenda Report No. 03-1011

	The 2002-2011 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) includes a project to replace the 13th Street Bridge over Cowskin Creek.  On April 7, 2003, the District V Advisory Board voted unanimously to recommend approval of the project.  On May 6, 2003, the City Council approved a design concept that provides for a 265 foot long, 5 span structure, that will carry four lanes of traffic.

	The existing bridge is an old County two-lane structure that is functionally obsolete.  Floodwaters from Cowskin Creek overtop the bridge on a frequent basis.  The elevation will be 1.3 foot higher than the existing bridge.  The 13th Street approaches to the bridge will be built to a four lane arterial standard from west of Azure Street on the west side of the bridge to Cedar Park Street east of the bridge.  The project is scheduled for letting this winter.  A SECOND phase of the project will widen 13th Street to four lanes east of Cedar Park to the west approach of the 13th and 119th Street West intersection.

	The budget contained in the current CIP is $1,855,000 with $655,000 paid by the City and $1,200,000 by Federal Grants administered by the Kansas Department of Transportation.  The current project estimate is $3,020,000 with $1,020,000 paid by the City and $2,000,000 by Federal Grants administered by the Kansas Department of Transportation.

ESCORT SERVICES	ORDINANCE AMENDMENT PERTAINING TO LICENSING QUALIFICATIONS AND FEES FOR ESCORT SERVICES.

Gary Rebenstorf	Director of Law reviewed the item.

	Agenda Report No. 03-1013

	On August 26, 2003 and September 23, 2003, the City Council conducted workshops on the current ordinances relating to the licensing and activity of escort services conducting business within the City of Wichita.  As a result of information presented and discussed at the workshops, the Council requested that the city's ordinance be amended to provide additional health screening requirements for persons seeking to be licensed and do business as escorts, increase the fees charged for escort services and individual escorts to adequately offset the costs of such regulatory activity, and increase the maximum fine for violations of the ordinance.
	
	The proposed ordinance amendment impacts certain sections of Chapter 3.07 of the City Code and addresses the licensing fees for escort services, escorts and escort service runners, as well as imposing additional health screening requirements for escorts.  Specifically, Section 3.07.050 and 3.07.180 are amended to increase licensing fees from $100 to $500 for escort services, and from $25 to $100 for individual escorts and escort service runners.  These fees will be charged on an annual basis, as is required under the current ordinance. The proposed amendment to Section 3.07.170 also sets forth a requirement that all escort license applicants be screened for certain communicable diseases as a condition of obtaining or renewing such a license and establishes a new requirement (Section 3.07.195) that requires additional screening if the city's designated health officer has probable cause to believe that the licensee has contracted a communicable disease.  The proposed amendments also provide that the maximum fine for violation of the ordinance be increased from $500 to $1,000.

	The increase in licensing fees will generate additional revenue to compensate for the costs associated with licensing and regulating such activity, as well as costs associated with enforcement efforts required of the Wichita Police Department.

SRO'S	SCHOOL RESOURCE OFFICERS.

Norman Williams	Police Chief reviewed the item.

	Council Member Gray momentarily absent.

	Agenda Report No. 03-1014

	Approve the addition of 10 new police officer positions funded from appropriated reserves. 

	In May 1997, the Wichita Police Department implemented the School Resource Officer (SRO) program in six USD 259 high schools (Heights High School had not yet been annexed into the City). In 2000, the SRO program was expanded to include fourteen middles schools in USD 259 and Heights High School. A Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) grant of $985,285 was also secured in 2000 and utilized to fund eight SRO positions over a three-year period.

	The COPS grant expired in 2003 and the City funded all twenty-one positions from the City's General Fund.   Nine officers assigned to the SRO program were redirected to staff two new patrol beats that were created to address the growing populace on the east and west sides of the City. The new beats enhanced response times, balanced service calls and provided better service to newly annexed areas.
	
	The School Resource Officer Program has become a valued program by the School District as the officers mentor students, work to address the needs of at-risk children before they become involved in criminal behavior, and provides some educational programming relating to safety and security. The presence of a SRO also creates a more secure atmosphere within the schools.  The Board of Education has expressed its support for the continuation of this program at fifteen middle schools (Stuckey Middle School opened this year) and seven high schools. The School District is willing to share in the cost of adding 10 SROs during the current school year and the Fall of 2004.
	Two City Council Members, Council Member Martz and Council Member Schlapp, were asked to work with two School District elected officials (Connie Dietz and Kevass Harding) to devise a plan for reinstating ten SROs.  It was agreed that officers would be added to schools as they became available. A recruit class is scheduled for January 12, 2004 to train individuals for vacant positions (currently there are eleven vacant positions).  Once these officers are trained they can be assigned as School Resource Officers.

	School District and City Council representatives have agreed to share the cost of funding ten School Resource Officers positions. The School District has pledged $250,000 towards the cost of staffing (salaries, clothing and equipment) and the City is requested to provide a matching amount. Funds will be utilized during the current school term (and possibly in the Fall of 2004). It is proposed to utilize City General Fund Reserves for the City share of this program. A more permanent source of funding will need to be determined for future years by both the City and the School District.

Mayor Mayans 	Mayor Mayans inquired if anyone wished to speak.

Kevass Harding	Kevass Harding introduced himself as a school board member and stated that they have already taken  $250,000.00 from their reserves for this project; and  that this is a great endeavor as a partnership where the City Council and the School Board can come together to increase the SRO's in our schools, not just for security reasons, but also for mentors.

Norman Williams	Chief Williams reported that it takes 30 weeks of training for new offices and that they will open that position up for the veteran officers to apply for.  They will not put inexperienced officers into the schools.

Council Member Martz	Council Member Martz stated that the Council is recommending a one-year funding and an attempt to find continuing funding.  This is an effort to get the SRO's back into the schools this year and these funds are to be used as needed.

Motion--	Mayans moved that the ten (10) positions as School Resource Officers to be deployed as staff becomes available subject to a contribution of $250,000 by USD 259 be authorized and up to $250,000 from the General Fund reserves to cover the City's costs of these additional positions through 2004 be approved.

EXTERNAL AUDIT	EXTERNAL AUDIT SERVICES.

Kelly Carpenter	Assistant Finance Director reviewed the item.

	Agenda Report No. 03-1015

	Council Member Martz momentarily absent.

	Federal and State law, as well as City policy, require all City programs to be audited annually by a certified public accounting firm.  A separate audit of the City's pension plans is required to meet certification requirements of the Government Finance Officer's Association.  In addition, the City's Federal Forfeiture Program is required to be audited each year, as is the Passenger Facility Charge Program and federally funded grant programs, all in accordance with federal regulations.  

	In 1999, the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) issued Statement No. 34, Basic Financial Statements - and Management's Discussion and Analysis - for State and Local Governments.  This statement has brought significant changes to the City's financial statements.  The most important changes in the new Financial Reporting Model include the following:

	Government-wide reporting
	Infrastructure reporting
	Depreciation accounting
	Basis of accounting

	Other changes (necessitated by GASB Statement No. 34) impacted budgetary reporting, spending focus for tax-supported activities, reporting of trust funds, and a narrative analysis to accompany the basic financial statements.  The staff, with the assistance of current external audit firm, Allen, Gibbs & Houlik, L.C., have implemented GASB Statement No. 34, which became effective for the City of Wichita on January 1, 2002.

	In 2003, a Request for Proposal for audit services for the years 2003 through 2007 was extended directly to 17 certified public accounting firms and posted on the City's web site.  Two firms responded, Allen, Gibbs & Houlik, L.C. and KPMG LLP.  Based on the scope of services offered by the respective firms and the not to exceed cost over the five years proposed, the audit firm, Allen, Gibbs & Houlik, L.C. is recommended to provide external audit services at a fee of $151,488 for fiscal 2003.  Ancillary services that may be requested in addition to those within the scope of the audit will also be billed at a lower rate than the competing firm.

	Allen, Gibbs & Houlik, L.C. has provided audit services for the past five (5) years and is knowledgeable with respect to the current accounting issues and financial reporting practices of the City.  AGH is a locally owned certified public accounting and consulting firm located in Wichita.  AGH employs approximately 110 professionals plus staff support and provides a range of services, including audit, assurance services, federal and estate tax services, benefits, outsourcing, technology and business consulting.

	The proposed (not-to-exceed) fees for audit services provided by Allen, Gibbs, and Houlik are as follows:

	Financial	Federally	Pension		
	Year		Statements	Forfeited	Plans	HUD	Total
					
	2003		136,200	2,900	10,200	2,188	151,488
	2004		140,290	2,990	10,500	2,252	156,032
	2005		144,500	3,080	10,815	2,319	160,714
	2006		148,830	3,170	11,140	2,395	165,535
	2007		153,300	3,270	11,475	2,456	170,501

	The cost of audit services for the City's general financial statements is funded proportionately by the entities subject to audit (e.g. General fund, Enterprise Funds, etc.).  Audit services pertaining to the Federal, pension, and Self-Supporting Municipal Improvement District (SSMID) are paid from those funds or entities.

	Kansas law requires an annual audit of City financial records by a certified public accounting firm (K.S.A. 75-1122) in accordance with the minimum standard audit program (K.S.A. 75-1123).

Mayor Mayans	Mayor Mayans inquired if anyone wished to speak and no one appeared.

Motion--	Mayans moved that the contract for external audit services for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2003, with a four one-year options for renewal with Allen, Gibbs & Houlik, L.C., be approved and the

REALIGNMENT OF	REALIGNMENT OF MCCORMICK WEST OF K-42 HIGHWAY.  (DISTRICT IV)
MCCORMICK

Neil Cable	City Engineer reviewed the item.

	Agenda Report No. 03-1016

	On July 1, 2003, the City Council approved an agreement with Newman University for the design of a project to relocate McCormick along the north perimeter of the campus.  Newman University agreed to contribute $50,000 for the concept design plans.  The Staff Screening and Selection Committee has selected MKEC Engineering Consultants to prepare construction plans.
	The City Council approved the agreement with Newman University with the understanding that construction funding will be programmed into the 2004-2013 Capital Improvement Program.  The discovery phase of the contract funded by Newman University can be approved now.  The design phase for construction and bid documents can be approved later as a supplemental agreement after the proposed CIP is approved.

	The current estimated design cost is $165,000 with $115,000 paid by the City and $50,000 by the Newman University contribution.

CSBG	CSBG REVIEW COMMITTEE APPOINTMENTS.

	Agenda Report No. 03-1017

The City of Wichita receives federal Community Services Block Grant (CSBG) funds to provide services to low-income persons.  Federal law governing the use of these funds mandates the existence of a board to participate in the development, planning, implementation, and evaluation of the CSBG program.

When the Council restructured advisory boards and commissions in December of 1999, it created the CSBG Review Committee to provide citizen input for the CSBG program in accordance with federal mandates.  The Council chose to base the membership of the Committee within the District Advisory Boards in order to take advantage of the special knowledge base of the DAB members.

The Committee is comprised of three sectors: public, community, and low-income.  The City Council appoints the public and community representatives.  Those nominees who are not appointed to the public and community positions will have the opportunity to stand for election by low-income residents in the four quadrants of the City.  All terms are two years; members may serve two consecutive terms.

SANITARY SEWERS	RECONSTRUCTION & REHABILITATION OF SANITARY SEWERS.

	Agenda Report No. 03-1029

The Sewer Maintenance division of the Water & Sewer Department maintains the sanitary sewer system.  Preventive maintenance includes the use of closed circuit cameras in evaluating old sewer lines. The sewer lines found to be in the poorest condition are then scheduled for reconstruction or rehabilitation. Reconstruction and rehabilitation of sanitary sewers helps to prevent stoppages, backups, and failures, and reduce inflow and infiltration into the system. Thus, maintenance costs are reduced, as well as inconvenience to customers.  In addition, the City is legally responsible for adequate maintenance of the sanitary sewer system and can be held liable for damages from sewage backups.

As Staff identifies problems in the system, they are grouped together to form a subproject funded by Capital Improvement Program S-4. The subproject is then constructed using the standard bidding process.  Staff establishes a reasonable budget for each subproject, so that the lowest bid can be accepted and unforeseen circumstances resolved.  When each subproject is closed, any remaining budget authority is transferred back to S-4 to be reallocated. 

At present, there is about $1.3 million in budget authority that was approved in 2002 and was not needed for the projects to which it was originally assigned. However, there are recently identified projects for which these funds could be used.

Each year City Council approves an expenditure of about $3.5 million for reconstruction/rehabilitation as part of the Capital Improvement Program (S-4).  Since the Water & Sewer financial plan assumes that the funds will be spent, there is no negative financial impact from extending to 2003 the authority to spend the funds.  If identified problems in the sanitary sewer system are not corrected, operating costs would eventually increase.

City Council has the authority to approve the use of these funds for the year 2003.  If identified problems in the sanitary sewer system are not resolved, legal liability is created. 

Motion--	Mayans moved that the transfer of $1.3 million from the 2002 budget to the 2003 budget be approved;
     --carried	the expenditure be authorized and the amended Resolution be adopted.  Motion carried 7 to 0.

PARK VILLA	PARK VILLA ROOF REPLACEMENT.  (DISTRICT IV)

	Agenda Report No. 03-1031

Park Villa, located in North Riverside Park, is a historic structure built in 1912. Park Villa is constructed of reinforced concrete faced with cobblestones and a tile roof. It is a one-story building with a porch on all four sides. The name of the building is inscribed over the four entrances in black and white tile. The style of the building is Spanish Revival with a gabled roof and battlements at the ends of the gables. The exterior of Park Villa is faced with old cobblestones from City streets with trolley tracks down them. 

In 2002, the City Council approved the use of federal Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds for deferred maintenance on publicly owned properties. These one-time projects included projects to repair and upgrade a number of park facilities. Park Villa roof replacement was originally included in the list of potential sites for use of CDBG funding. Due to funding limitations, the City Council approved $55,000 in CDBG funds for the ADA improvements for Park Villa to ensure compliance with accessibility standards, but not the roof repairs.

Public Works Department has recently evaluated the roof of Park Villa in North Riverside Park and determined the roof to be in a seriously deteriorated condition.  Water damage has occurred to rafters and soffits.  This condition will worsen and needs to be replaced before winter.  To prevent further damage, Public Works recommends the roof be replaced with tiles to match the existing roof. 

The total estimated cost of the roof replacement is $50,000. CDBG funds can be made available from savings from completed projects to fund the roof replacement.

City Council approval of the budget transfer is required. 

Council Member Fearey	Council Member Fearey explained that the reason that she pulled this item was because it is a project to replace the roof tile of one of the City's historic buildings.

Motion--	Fearey moved that the City Council approve the budget transfer of $50,000.00 in CDBG funds for the Park Villa Roof replacement and that public works coordinate the project with the Historic Preservation 
     --carried	planner to ensure that it is done to Historic Preservation standards.  Motion carried 7 to 0.



BLOCK GRANT	2003 LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT BLOCK GRANT.

	Agenda Report No. 03-1032

The City has received notification that it is eligible to receive year 2003 Local Law Enforcement Block Grant (LLEBG) funding.  This is the City's seventh year to receive funding under the LLEBG program.  The federal award of $166,519 requires a 10 percent local match of $18,502.  In the past, the City Council has approved the use of Narcotic Seizure funds for matching purposes.  The total project budget will be $185,021.
The LLEBG agreement states that before any obligation or expensing of funds can occur, an advisory board must be established and allowed to provide non-binding recommendations toward obligating and/or expensing of such funds. On October 2, 2003, the Advisory Board convened to make non-binding recommendations on the use of 2003 LLEBG funds.  The Board approved 2003 LLEBG funding as follows: $59,207 for Municipal Court service officers, and $125,814 for police equipment and overtime.  A public hearing is needed before obligation or expensing of LLEBG funds can occur.

Financial Considerations:  The 2003 LLEBG federal award is $166,519.  The local match of $18,502 will be funded from Narcotics Seizure funds.

A public hearing is needed before any obligating or expensing of LLEBG funds can occur. 

Motion--	Mayans moved that the LLEBG grant application and budget be approved and the necessary signatures 
     --carried	be authorized.  Motion carried 7 to 0.


SNOW/ICE BUDGET	SNOW AND ICE BUDGET ADJUSTMENT.

	Agenda Report No. 03-1033

The Adopted 2003 Snow and Ice budget appropriated $85,790 for de-icing materials and miscellaneous other commodities.  In March of 2003, a budget adjustment for an additional $100,000 from the Street Maintenance budget was requested and approved by the City Council.

The City's three salt storage facilities (Central Maintenance Facility, West Substation, and Northeast Substation) were completely stocked at the end of 2002.  However, eight snow and ice storms from late December through mid-March made it necessary to order additional material on numerous occasions.  One of these storms, on Sunday, February 22nd, was the 3rd worst February snowstorm in Wichita history, which dumped 10+ inches of snow on the City.  Material stockpiles were exhausted and materials (sand/salt, calcium chloride and straight salt) were ordered to replenish the supply.

Presently, the City's salt storage facilities are full, but funds for additional materials have been nearly depleted.  With the onset of winter weather, additional salt and sand will undoubtedly be needed.  It is imperative that adequate materials be kept on hand to ensure the safety of the traveling public.

The 2003 Snow and Ice commodities account currently have a balance of $2,300.  Each of the three salt domes holds 2,000 tons of material, and although storage facilities are currently full, the estimated cost to restock these facilities one time is $125,000.  To ensure that funds are available to respond to winter storms through the end of the year, it is requested that an additional $125,000 be transferred from the Street Maintenance budget to the Snow and Ice budget to purchase materials as needed.

Funds are available in the Street Maintenance commodities budget to allow the requested transfer of funds to the Snow and Ice budget.  

All budget adjustments over $10,000 require Council approval.

Motion--	Mayans moved that the budget adjustment of $125,000 for 2003 snow and ice materials expenditures
     --carried	be approved.  Motion carried 7 to 0.

DR02-01	DR02-01: TWELVE-MONTH REVIEW OF A MORATORIUM ON THE PROCESSING OF CERTAIN PERMITS FOR CERTAIN PROPERTIES IN THE HISTORIC MIDTOWN NEIGHBORHOOD PLAN AREA.  (DISTRICT VI)

	Agenda Report No. 03-1050

On May 14, 2002, the Wichita City Council adopted a moratorium on the processing of certain permits for certain properties in the Historic Midtown Neighborhood Plan area described as the area bounded by 18th on the north, the UP/BNSF Railway to the east, Murdock to the south and the Arkansas River to the west.  The Historic Midtown Neighborhood Plan boundaries are described above.  The moratorium was adopted for a period of up to one (1) year, subject to review after six months, with a determination by the City Council of the length of time for continuation of the moratorium and/or modification of any of its provisions.  It has now been twelve months since the moratorium was adopted.

The area within the scope of the moratorium includes certain properties zoned commercial currently used for residential purposes.  The intent of the moratorium is to protect the neighborhood from non-residential encroachment while the Steering Committee of the Historic Midtown Neighborhood Plan is afforded an opportunity to develop the neighborhood plan.  The moratorium applies to the processing and granting of building permit applications for new non-residential construction or additions on lots zoned commercial or industrial of predominantly residential character.
 
The moratorium was adopted to protect those established residential areas of the Midtown neighborhood from incompatible uses or development that could otherwise be allowed under existing industrial or commercial zoning that may ultimately be determined inappropriate.  In addition, the moratorium was adopted to provide City Staff adequate time to continue working with neighborhood stakeholders in the development of the rezoning initiative.  The moratorium was also adopted to ensure that new development during this time occur in a manner that is compatible with the reuse possibilities associated with the abandoned UP rail right-of-way extending from Murdock Street to 15th Street and Broadway.  This Corridor represents a significant planning element of the Historic Midtown Neighborhood Plan, and the City desires to ensure a full range of planning options for those lands located within this segment of abandoned right-of-way.

The moratorium included the following provisions:
1.	Moratorium on the processing and granting of building permit applications for new non-residential construction or additions on lots zoned commercial or industrial, within certain predominantly residential areas.
2.	Moratorium on the processing and granting of building permit applications for all conversions of residential structures, and on all demolition permit applications for residential structures within the Historic Midtown Neighborhood Plan Area;
3.	Moratorium on the processing and granting of building permit applications for new construction or additions on all property located within the abandoned UP Rail Right-of-Way between Murdock St. and 15th St. and Broadway.

On November 19, 2002, City Council approved to continue the moratorium on building permits, conversions and demolitions as stipulated in Resolution 02-233 for one full year from the adoption date of said resolution to give the Historic Midtown Neighborhood Plan Steering Committee time to continue to develop the neighborhood plan within a reasonable timeframe.

The land use concept has been completed, and six standing subcommittees have provided recommendations for the formulation of goals and objectives.  

The draft neighborhood plan has been completed and is currently open to community input, review and comment.

A survey of businesses has been conducted and results have been tallied.

The neighborhood plan is nearing completion and the community is engaging in an active dialogue on its contents.  There is general consensus on the land use concept and on the manner in which the community should be redeveloped.  It is now possible to provide analyses and recommendations to individual zoning and redevelopment cases.  While the moratorium was intended to provide time to develop policies and recommendations, these have been developed and the moratorium is no longer needed.  

Neither the continuation nor the expiration of the moratorium itself involves no additional funding on the part of the City.

The City has the authority to establish a development moratorium for specific purposes and a limited time, which was set forth in the resolution establishing the development moratorium.  Furthermore, the City also has the authority to extend the moratorium for an additional 6 to 12-month period, or other reasonable time period.

Motion--	Mayans moved that the expiration of the Development Moratorium in its current form be allowed.
     --carried	Motion carried 7 to 0.


A03-22	A 03-22-REQUEST TO ANNEX LAND LOCATED NEAR THE SOUTHWEST CORNER OF THE INTERSECTION OF 29TH STREET NORTH AND MAIZE ROAD.  (DISTRICT V)
(This Item was pulled from the Agenda)


A03-23	A 03-23-REQUEST TO ANEX LAND LOCATED AT THE SOUTHWEST CORNER OF THE INTERSECTION OF THE KANSAS TURNPIKE AND SOUTH GREENWICH ROAD.  (DISTRICT II)

	Agenda Report No. 03-1052

The City has received a request to annex 49.45 acres of land situated near the southwest corner of the intersection of the Kansas Turnpike and S. Greenwich Road.  The annexation area abuts the City of Wichita to the east, north, and west of the property.  The property owner seeks to develop the property as 160 single-family residential lots and 16,000 square feet of office units.  The applicant is undertaking the process for a replatting of the property.  It is anticipated that the site will be fully developed for residential use in five years.  The applicant plans to request General Office "GO" and Single Family "SF-5" zoning for the proposed annexation.

Land Use and Zoning: The annexation area is presently vacant and zoned "SF-20" Single Family Residential.  The properties adjoining the proposed annexation area to the east are in agricultural use and zoned "SF-5" Single Family Residential. The lands adjoining the proposed annexation to the south are zoned "SF-20" Single Family and currently in agricultural use.  Lands directly to the west of the proposed annexation area are currently in residential use and zoned "SF-5" Single Family Residential.  Lands to the north are zoned General Commercial "GC" and currently vacant.  Lands directly to the north east of the proposed annexation area are zoned Single Family Residential "SF-5" and currently in residential use.

Public Services:  Both public water and sewer service are currently available to the property.  The property has access to public water service by way of a twelve-inch waterline running along Greenwich Road.  Public sewer service is available by way of a sewer line running along Morris Street to the southwest of the proposed annexation.  

Street System: The subject property has frontage along Greenwich Road, a two lane paved arterial.

Public Safety: Under the City-County first response agreement, fire services to this site currently can be provided within an seven (7) to eight (8) minute approximate response time from City Fire Station #15 located at 7123 E Lincoln.  Upon annexation, police protection will be provided to the area by the Patrol East Bureau of the Wichita Police Department, headquartered at 350 South Edgemoor.

Parks: W.B. Harrison Park, a 40-acre park, a bike pathway is proposed half a mile to the south along Harry Street in the 1996 Parks and Open Space Plan.  

School District: The annexation property is part of the Unified School District 259 (Wichita School District).  Annexation will not change the school district.

Comprehensive Plan: The proposed annexation is consistent with current amendments to the Wichita-Sedgwick County Comprehensive Plan. The annexation property falls within the 2010 Wichita Urban Service Area as shown in the Plan.  

The current approximate appraised value of the proposed annexation properties is $33,580 with a total assessed value of $1,074. Using the current City levy ($31.406/$1,000 x assessed valuation), this roughly yields $151.54 in City annual tax revenues for the property.  The future assessed value of this property will depend on the type and timing of any redevelopment and the current mill levy.  However when development is completed, the property owner projects an overall appraised value of $14,400,000 for residential use and $2,966,280 for commercial use, resulting in a combined assessed valuation of $17,366,280.  Assuming the current City levy remains about the same, this would roughly yield $538,354 in City annual tax revenues.

The property is eligible for annexation under K.S.A. 12-519, et seq.

Motion--	Mayans moved that the annexation be approved and the Ordinance be placed on first reading.  Motion 
     --carried	carried 7 to 0.

AIRPORT	FARMING LICENSE-JABARA AIRPORT.

	Agenda Report No. 03-1057

On April 8, 2003, a project was approved to purchase 26.6 acres of land situated within the runway protection zone and the runway approach protection zone at Jabara Airport.  The land is located at 45th Street North and Greenwich Road, and was acquired to prevent further development in this protected area.  The land is zoned Rural Residential and was in agricultural use at the time of purchase.

The crop grown on the acquired property is brome grass.  Recommendations provided by the U. S. Department of Agriculture/Wildlife Services indicate that this crop is compatible with airport operations because it is not a large wildlife attractant.

In addition, FlightSafety is requesting City Council amend the December 18, 2001, Letter of Intent to increase the not-to-exceed amount by an additional $1 million.  The proposed amended amount of the Letter on Intent is not-to-exceed $3,500,000.

FlightSafety International, Inc. was organized in 1951, and purchased by Berkshire Hathaway Inc., in December 1996.  FlightSafety provides training for operators of aircraft and ships.  Training activities include advanced training of pilots, air traffic control procedures and new aviation developments.  Training is provided both in the private (Cessna, Learjet, Raytheon) and public sectors (U.S. Air Force and U.S. Navy).  In addition to aircraft training, FlightSafety provides necessary training to allow pilots to obtain licenses for operation of large oceangoing vessels.  FlightSafety also offers maintenance training for certain aircraft.  

The expansion consists of construction a building addition and the acquisition of seven new flight simulators.  Only the building addition is being financed with Airport Special Facility Revenue Bonds.  The proposed increase of $1 million will allow for an increase in building costs.  The simulators will be financed with the issuance of City industrial revenue bonds later this year.

Payment of the bonds will be guaranteed by Berkshire Hathaway.  The City has received copies of Berkshire Hathaway's audited financial statements for the year 2002.  Based on this, Staff has determined that revenues available from the project will be sufficient to cover bond payments.  FlightSafety agrees to pay all costs relating to issuance of the bonds.

Bond documents required for the issuance of the bonds will be prepared by Hinkle Elkouri Law Firm, L.L.C., bond counsel.

Motion--	Mayans moved that the amended Letter of Intent to FlightSafety be approved; the Resolution relating to the issuance of Taxable Airport Special Facilities Revenue Bonds for FlightSafety International in an amount not to exceed $3.5 million be adopted and the necessary signatures be authorized.

HOUSING	PUBLIC HEARING-FIVE YEAR AND YEAR 2004 ANNUAL AGENCY PLANS.

Mark Stanberry	Housing Services Director reviewed the item.	

Agenda Report No. 03-1060

On October 21, 1998, the Quality Housing and Work Responsibility Act of 1998 (QHWRA) was signed into law as part of the FY 1999 Appropriations Bill. One provision of the Act is the mandate for public housing authorities to prepare a five-year plan showing the needs and goals for that period (updated every five years) and a more detailed annual operating plan.  The annual plan must include, among other things, information on the housing needs of the locality, population served, method of rent determination, operation policies and procedures, capital improvements, unmet housing needs of families with income less than 30 percent of median income, homeownership efforts and efforts to coordinate programs and other items. 

Section 511 of the QHWRA requires the board of directors of housing authorities to conduct a public hearing to discuss the housing authority plans and to invite public comment regarding the plans.  In the event that the Housing Authority Board receives public comment, written or oral, which is deemed significant enough to amend the plans, the Housing Authority Board may amend the plans and certify the plans as amended.  After the Housing Authority Board has considered comments submitted at the hearing and approve the WHA Five-Year and Year 2004 Annual Plans, subject to any amendments, the WHA staff will transmit the policies and programs via an electronic template for submission.

The certification of the Five-Year Plan and the Year 2004 Annual Plan is required for compliance with the Quality Housing and Work Responsibility Act of 1998.

The 2004 Capital Fund Budget is a part of the 2004 Annual Plan and represents the official approval of the Wichita Housing Authority's Governing Board.

Motion--	Mayans moved that the Resolution H 03-05 relative to the required certifications for submission of the Wichita Housing Authority Five-year Plan and the 2004 Annual Plan be adopted and the necessary 
     --carried	signatures be authorized.  Motion carried 8 to 0.


SECTION 8	SECTION 8 MONTHLY STATISTICAL REPORT.

	Agenda Report No. 03-1061
			
	The Section 8 Housing Assistance program provides rent and utility assistance through vouchers and certificates. The Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Program provides subsidy vouchers to tenants based upon a rent set by the landlord and tenant, with an upper rent limit set by Housing and Urban Development (HUD).  Portable voucher options are provided to families that have received a Housing Choice Program Voucher and have elected to utilize their rental assistance in another state or a city within Kansas.

	The Shelter Plus Care Program provides rental assistance to the hard-to-house homeless families who are chronic substance abusers, mentally ill or have AIDS or AIDS related illnesses.  This program consists of 102 coupons to assist eligible families that are eligible for all bedroom sizes.

	The Moderate Rehabilitation program was established to upgrade substandard rental housing and provide rental assistance for lower-income families.  This program consists of fifty-eight (58) units owned and operated by Helping Our People Economically (HOPE), Inc. that are eligible for studios, one, and two bedrooms units.

	Section 8 works with approximately 700 landlords and is approved by HUD to administer 2,663 voucher allocations for tenants. 

	Housing units must be inspected prior to tenant occupancy, 120 days after occupancy and annually thereafter to ensure the landlord is maintaining the housing unit in compliance with housing standards. Section 8 is also required to perform exit inspections to ensure no damage occurred above the customary living usage.

	Following is a breakdown of assistance provided through the Section 8 Program for August 2003.
 
	Program			Number	     Number	Over (Under) Annual Lease-					Allocated    Committed	Committed	Up		Annual
									Rate
	Housing Choice Voucher	  2366	        2471	105	2471		104.4%
	Shelter Plus Care		    102	          110	    8		
	Moderate Rehabilitation	      58	            33	(25)		
	Portable Vouchers	      44	            44	0		
					
	TOTAL			  2570	         2658	   88		

	Due to many variables such as voucher and certificate holders finding and leasing a property that does not require the maximum subsidy, Housing Services is able to assist additional units and remain within budget.

Motion--carried	Mayans moved that the Report be received and filed.  Motion carried 8 to 0.


PUBLIC HOUSING	PUBLIC HOUSING CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS.

	Agenda Report No. 03-1062
			
	The Wichita Public Housing Authority (WHA) rents publicly owned housing to low-income households at an affordable rate based upon income and family size. Rent is based upon 30 percent of the household adjusted gross income. The WHA owns various single-family houses, primarily located in the inner City, and four apartment complexes: Greenway Manor, McLean Manor, Rosa Gragg and Bernice Hutchinson. WHA receives additional funding from Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to improve the physical condition of the public housing properties through renovation and rehabilitation.

	The City of Wichita Housing Authority (WHA) administers a Capital Fund Program for all necessary capital improvements and corrections of deficiencies in the public housing rental inventory.  The inventory includes 226 elderly-disabled apartments and 349 single-family dwellings.  The Program is also used to upgrade the management facilities of the WHA to assure the ability of staff to serve the housing needs of low-to-moderate income families.  The report covers the current status of all Capital Fund improvement projects.

	The 2002 Capital Fund grant is in the amount of  $1,159,577.  To date, HUD has not made the final formula allocations for the 2003 Capital Fund Grant; however, an initial increment has been computed in the amount of $901,220. HUD has advised staff that the WHA will ultimately receive an amount within 6% of the 2002 allocation.  The 2003 through 2006 budgeted amounts are estimated on the basis of the 2002 grant amount.
