CMF EXPANSION	CENTRAL MAINTENANCE FACILITY (CMF) EXPANSION.  (DISTRICT IV)

			Agenda Report No. 05-1037

	The Central Maintenance Facility (CMF), located at 1801 S. McLean Blvd., includes buildings housing the shops and offices for Fleet Maintenance, Central Stores, Water and Sewer Operations, Storm Water, Flood Control, Park Arborist, Street Maintenance, Street Cleaning, Traffic Maintenance and Field Engineering for the Engineering Division of Public Works.  The entire facility is overcrowded, with significant shortages in both interior space and exterior space.  At the present time, the shortage of office space in the building occupied by the various Public Works field maintenance operations and by Field Engineering is critical.  Lack of space is limiting their productivity.   

	Funds were included in the 2004 CIP for CMF Expansion, but this was based on a concept of expansion through land acquisition.  Environmental issues and land availability issues became such that the funds were not initiated and that concept was not pursued.  The current concern is how to provide adequate office facilities within the existing site limitations.

	On June 7, 2005, City Council approved the project, adopted the Resolution and authorized staff to select a consultant to study and recommend solutions to these problems.

	The first phase of this project will be a Concept Study and Preliminary Design for an amount not to exceed $35,000.00.  Once the concept study is completed and viable options are determined, staff will have the information necessary to develop recommendations for Council's consideration.  Then with Council approval, a final design can be developed and implemented.

	A Request for Proposals (FP500052) was issued and proposal received on July 29, 2005. Several responded. The Staff Screening and Selection Committee short-listed and interviewed the firms of Hanney & Assoc., Law/Kingdon, Inc. and Schaffer Johnson Cox Frey. The committee selected SJCF and has negotiated a Contract with SJCF for a lump sum fee of twenty four thousand dollars ($24,000.00). 

	The approved 2005-2014 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) includes $150,000 for CMF Expansion design in 2005 (PB-350404) (Project No. 435405, OCA 792455) and $1.250 million for construction in 2006 - 2007 for a total of $2.650 million.  Authorization of $35,000 for the concept study and design was approved by City Council on June 7, 2005.

			The Law Department has approved the Contract as to Form.

SEWAGE TREATMNT	MID-CONTINENT SEWAGE TREATMENT FACILITIES.  (DISTRICT IV)

			Agenda Report No. 05-1038
		
	The 2000 Sewer Master Plan Update identified the need for a sewage treatment plant in southwest Wichita.  Staff believes the plant will be required by 2008 to provide continued options for area growth, take pressure off of aging infrastructure, and for the Department to provide wholesale sewage treatment options to other local communities. 

	The City conducted a siting study to identify acceptable locations for the plant.  Primary and secondary sites were selected through technical review process and community participation.  A final decision was made by City Council on April 19, 2005.  Following the site selection, the City sent a Request for Qualifications for professional services to permit, design and provide construction management services to consulting engineers registered with Purchasing.  Three proposals were received.  

	The Staff Screening and Selection Committee conducted interviews on July 8, 2005, with the three responding firms.  Staff recommended the professional services team lead by CDM because of the thoroughness of their proposal, the innovative ideas presented for the wholesale service opportunity, water reuse considerations and their focus on the City's minority business initiative.  Staff believes the ideas presented by the CDM team will result in an outstanding project for the City.

	CDM assembled a professional services team including personnel from their local office and CDM's national expertise.  The team includes Poe & Associates, Schaeffer, Johnson, Cox & Frey and Dubois Engineering, a minority business from the Kansas City area seeking to establish a Wichita office.  

			The negotiated Contract includes:
			·	Design and permits for the Mid-Continent Sewage Treatment Facility
		·	An optional treatment facility for the City of Goddard with water reuse for Auburn Hills Golf Course
			·	Updating the City's bio-solids treatment and disposal plan

	The Contract will not exceed $6,172,900.  Funds are available in CIP S-546, Mid-Continent Sewage Treatment Plant, with a budget of $23,500,000.

			The Contract has been reviewed and approved as to form by the Law Department.

Motion--		Vice-Mayor Schlapp moved that the Contract with CDM be approved and the necessary signatures
     --carried		authorized.  Motion carried 6 to 0, (Mayans absent).



JANITORIAL SERV.	JANITORIAL SERVICES CONTRACT-FOR THE FOUR WICHITA POLICE SUBSTATIONS.

			Agenda Report No. 05-1039

	The Wichita Police Substations are 24 hour a day operations utilized daily by police personnel.  These facilities are also used for Environmental Court and Community Meetings on a regular basis.  Due to the needs to keep these facilities clean, it has been advantageous to contract with an outside firm to provide the custodial services.  Responses to a Request for Proposal were accepted by the City's Purchasing Manager on October 4, 2005.  Approximately eight contractors attended a pre-proposal conference and ten proposals were submitted for this work.

	A selection committee composed of seven individuals from different city departments reviewed the proposals.  Each proposal was evaluated on the basis of qualifications, experience, available equipment, personnel, cost and references.  The selection committee conducted interviews with five contractors.  Based on these criteria, Mid-America Building Service, Inc., is recommended to provide these services.

	The annual cost to provide custodial services to all four Police Substations is $35,964.00.  The proposed agreement is for one year beginning November 15, 2005, with the option to extend for two additional years.

			The contract has been approved as to form by the Law Department.

PROPERTY ACQ.	ACQUISITION OF LAND AND EASEMENTS BY EMINENT DOMAIN FOR THE NORTH AREA SEWER SANITARY LINE NEAR MERIDIAN AND 53RD STREET NORTH.  (DISTRICT VI)

			Agenda Report No. 05-1045

	On October 21, 2003, the City Council approved the construction and extension of a sanitary sewer line and pump lift station to provide service to newly developing areas in north Wichita.  This project requires the acquisition of utility easements on ten tracts of land for sewer lines and the acquisition of an eleventh parcel for the sanitary sewer lift station.   Temporary construction easements along the easements and around the lift station are also required. 

	One landowner holds title to five of the ten tracts and the lift station site.  Agreement has not been reached on the lift station site.  In addition, while the landowner accepted the City offer of $51,215 for the easements and the City Council approved the acquisition on September 13, 2005, the landowner has yet to sign and return the easements. 

	City staff has been attempting to negotiate a purchase of the lift station site but have been unable to reach an agreement with the owner.  The acquisition was valued at $125,325.  This amount includes payment for the land and acquisition of an access easement and temporary construction easement.  The owner has not accepted or rejected the cash offer.  He has, however, proposed numerous conditions and terms, some not even related to the acquisition.  Staff has attempted to resolve as many of these as they can without impacting the best interests of the City.  Staff will continue to negotiate with the owner, but due to the lack of a firm counter offer and the continued addition of conditions, it is necessary to initiate eminent domain.  This action will include both the lift station site and the easements that the owner contractually agreed to sell to the City but which he has not yet executed and returned.


			The cost of this acquisition will be paid for by the City at large. 

Motion--		Vice-Mayor Schlapp moved that the resolution be adopted; the ordinance providing for the acquisition by eminent domain of certain real property and directing the City Attorney to file the appropriate proceedings in the District Court to accomplish such acquisition be placed on first reading and the

WELLINGTON PL	SALE OF 1847 WELLINGTON PLACE.  (DISTRICT VI)

			Agenda Report No. 05-1046

	The City owns the L. W. Clapp house at 1847 North Wellington Place property.  The 7,738 square foot house has 18 rooms with 7 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms on a 55,575 square foot lot.  The property is zoned two-family and is subject to the Midtown Neighborhood Plan zoning overlay.  The property is listed as a historic structure on the Federal, state and local registers.  The property was placed on the open market in September 2005.  

	The property has been appraised at $375,000 and $470,000.  A broker estimated value at between $375,000 and $525,000 but recommended listing the property at $495,000.

FRONTAGE ROAD	KELLOGG FRONTAGE ROAD, BETWEEN 135TH STREET WEST AND 119TH STREET WEST.  (DISTRICT V)

			Agenda Report No. 05-1048

	The Kansas Department of Transportation (KDOT) has agreed to participate in the funding of a new frontage road on the south side of Kellogg, between 135th St. West and 119th St. West. Sedgwick County has also agreed to participate in the project funding because the west 1/2 mile of the project is not within the Wichita City limits. Sedgwick County has entered into an agreement with KDOT concerning their participation, and a City/County agreement has been prepared that outlines the responsibilities of Sedgwick County and the City.

	The project consists of a two-lane roadway on the south side of Kellogg that will connect to 135th St. West and 119th St. West.  It will reduce the need to connect future development directly to the thru lanes of Kellogg.  The completed project will be incorporated into the Kellogg freeway when it is built in this area.
	The estimated project cost is $2,900,000, with $2,010,000 paid by KDOT, $445,000 paid by the County and $445,000 paid by the City of Wichita. Previous right-of-way purchase will apply to the amount. Funding for the City share is available from under expenditures in the West Kellogg Freeway Program. The funding source for the City share is the local sales tax.

			The Law Department has approved the City/County agreement as to legal form.

Motion--		Vice-Mayor Schlapp moved that the project and the City/County Agreement be approved; the 
			necessary signatures and the signing of State/Federal agreements as required authorized.

	The not to exceed total cost for the installation of the truck scales is $150,000.  There are sufficient funds available for the purchase of this equipment in the 2005 landfill budget.

			All purchases in excess of $25,000 require City Council approval.

Motion--		Vice-Mayor Schlapp moved that the selection of Hammel Scale for the purchase and installation of the landfill truck scales be approved and the Purchasing Manager authorized to issue a purchase order of a 
     --carried		not to exceed amount of $150,000.  Motion carried 6 to 0, (Mayans absent).


WAM			WICHITA ART MUSEUM IMPROVEMENTS (WAM)  (DISTRICT VI)

			Agenda Report No. 05-1050

	The Wichita Art Museum (WAM) is a facility that has been constructed over the years through a series of additions to the small building that originally occupied the site

	The original 1935 building design included the rotunda area.  When the addition designed by Edward Larabee Barnes was added in the 1970's, the rotunda was retained.  The addition was built around and over the rotunda, making it an integral part of the expanded museum facility.
	A mechanical penthouse was constructed on the roof of the Barnes addition directly above the rotunda.  The asphalt roof surface was used as the floor of the penthouse.  Two large multi-zone air-handling units (AHUs) were installed in the penthouse, and a single humidifier dispersion tube extending continuously through eight side-by-side multi-zone ducts provided steam humidification.  Building Maintenance has wanted for some time to replace the old steam humidification system with a modern system having individual controls for each zone.  $165,000 has been included in the CIP for 2006 and 2007 for that purpose.  Future plans have also called for the replacement of the two 30+ year old air handlers due to their age and condition, but funding has not been designated.

	Recent stains on the ceiling and upper walls of the rotunda below the penthouse indicate water leaks which constitute a threat to the safety of the art work displayed in that area.  Preliminary investigations by City staff and a professional engineer (who volunteered his services without charge) have determined that water leaking from the old steam humidification system in the ducts in the penthouse above may be finding its way through defects in the old asphalt floor under the air handlers and may be the primary source of these leaks.  However, several other potential sources of water have been found that may be contributing factors. A Request for Proposals (RFP) has been issued and the Staff Screening and Selection Committee has selected an architectural and engineering team headed by Schaefer Johnson Cox Frey (SJCF) to conduct a thorough investigation of all the potential sources of the leaks and to arrive at a schematic plan and budget for resolving the problems.  The fee for this work is $18,600.  The results of the SJCF study will be used to determine the full extent of the repair/replacement work that is needed.  This will form the basis for programming the engineering design and construction to be included in the next phase of the project.

	It is anticipated that the total scope of work required to resolve the cause of the leaks, or potential future leaks, will involve a significant replacement and/or updating of major mechanical/structural components with a total cost exceeding the $165,000 currently budgeted in the CIP.  On October 18, Council approved the allocation of $2.25 million in CIP funds to the CIP Planned Savings Project for use in making capital repairs to City facilities.  Repair to the air handling system at the Art Museum was listed as a potential example of projects to be funded from this money.  A portion of those Planned Savings will be designated as the funding source for any required work that exceeds the $165,000 originally programmed in the CIP, and these later contracts will be brought back to Council for approval.

	The approved 2005-2014 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) includes $15,000 in 2006 and $150,000 in 2007 for a total of $165,000 for the WAM project (Project No. 435416, OCA 792484).  The funding source is General Obligation Bonds.

			The Law Department has approved the Resolution as to Form.

Motion--		Vice-Mayor Schlapp moved that the Project be approved; the Resolution adopted and the necessary 
     --carried		signatures authorized.  Motion carried 6 to 0, (Mayans absent).

							RESOLUTION NO. 05-601

MORATORIUM	EXTEND THE MORATORIUM ON THE ACCEPTANCE AND APPROVAL OF APPLICATIONS FOR AND ISSUANCE OF LAND USE, BUILDING AND DEVELOPMENT PERMITS AND BUSINESS LICENSES FOR ADULT ENTERTAINMENT ESTABLISHMENTS TO COINCIDE WITH THE END OF THE AMORTIZATION PERIOD TO BE ESTABLISHED IN THE UNIFORM ZONING CODE FOR SEXUALLY ORIENTED BUSINESSES IN THE CITY.

			Agenda Report No. 05-1065

	The regulation, permitting and licensing of Adult Entertainment Establishments are currently governed by Chapter 3.05 of the City Code.  Neither Adult Entertainment Establishments nor Sexually Oriented Businesses in the City are currently defined or regulated through the Wichita-Sedgwick County Unified Zoning Code (UZC) within the City of Wichita.  The City Council has approved passed, on first reading, of new zoning regulations that restrict the zoning districts available for location of such businesses, and amortize the existing businesses in districts and locations rendered nonconforming.

	Following enactment of the current moratorium on February 8, 2005 on the issuance of permits and licenses for new Adult Entertainment Establishments, staff has been studying the regulation of such businesses, including proposed comprehensive zoning regulations that would address the negative effects of Adult Entertainment Establishments upon neighboring properties and the community as a whole.  On August 2, 2005, the Council extended the moratorium until November 15, 2005 to allow staff time to (1) draft more specific UZC and licensing ordinance amendment language, (2) present the proposed UZC changes to District Advisory Boards for review and comment; and (3) present final proposed UZC amendments to MAPC in October.  Staff prepared proposed UZC amendments for Council, and has now modified that proposal that conforms to Council discussion.  The proposed UZC amendments are on the Council's agenda today for consideration on second reading, 

	Extension of the moratorium to coincide with the proposed UZC amendments will prevent the creation of new, nonconforming uses within the amortization period, and will allow the due process court proceedings to be completed before existing Adult Entertainment Establishment licensees are effected by the zoning regulation amortization requirements.

Motion--		Vice-Mayor Schlapp moved that an extension of the current Moratorium on the Issuance of new Adult Entertainment Establishment licenses and land use permits, to be effective until December 31, 2007
     --carried		be approved, and the Resolution be adopted.  Motion carried 6 to 0, (Mayans absent).

EVERGREEN PARK	LEASE SPACE AT EVERGREEN PARK HEALTH STATION, 2700 WOODLAND.  (DISTRICT VI)

			Agenda Report No. 05-1052

	Sedgwick County currently leases space from the City of Wichita at the Evergreen Park Health Station at 2700 Woodland.  The County provides medical services to the public at this location.  Upon expiration of their lease at the end of December, the County wishes to consolidate services at their new location on West Central.

		NEW BUSINESS

INFONXX, INC.	PUBLIC HEARING AND REQUEST FOR LETTER OF INTENT FOR INDUSTRIAL REVENUE BONDS, INFONXX, INC.  (DISTRICT II)

Lisa Jones		Industrial Analyst reviewed the item.

			Agenda Report No. 05-1053

	The Greater Wichita Economic Development Coalition has worked with a national site consultant to recruit a new company to Wichita.  InfoNXX, Inc. a major provider of telephone directory assistance and enhanced information services to leading communications companies, businesses and consumers located principally in the United States, United Kingdom, France, and Italy.  As a result of the recruitment effort, InfoNXX will locate a large customer service center in the former MCI Building, near Rock Road and K-96 in northeast Wichita, and hire over 900 customer care representatives.  As an economic development incentive, the City offered InfoNXX industrial revenue bonds (IRBs) and property tax abatement on equipment and furnishings, subject to City Council approval.

	InfoNXX Inc. & Subsidiaries is requesting the issuance of a six-month Letter of Intent for Industrial Revenue Bonds in an amount not to exceed $6 million.  Bond proceeds will be used to finance the cost of equipping a customer service center facility.  InfoNXX is also requesting the City Council's approval of a 100% five-year tax exemption on bond-financed property, plus a second five-year exemption upon City Council approval.  

	InfoNXX was founded in 1992 and has grown to become the largest non-carrier directory assistance provider in the world.  The Company has been consistently rated among the top third-party directory assistance ("DA") companies in the country by a national rating agency.  In the U.S., the Company provides non-branded, outsourced DA and related services under contract arrangements primarily to leading wireless carriers such as Sprint PCS, Verizon Wireless, U.S. Cellular and Dobson, among others.  InfoNXX also provides outsourced DA to various cable telephony carriers and competitive local exchange carriers such a Cox Communications, Comcast, and XO.

	InfoNXX has committed to hire at least 944 new employees over an 18-month period, at a weighted average wage rate of  $9.82 per hour.  The Company will lease the former MCI Building at 8400 East 32nd Street North from its current owner. 

			An analysis of the uses of project funds is:

			USES OF FUNDS
			Software		$513,000
			Licenses		  834,980
			Telecom Equipment	1,783,852
			Computer Equipment	1,141,589
			Furniture & Fixtures	   440,000
		 
			Total Cost of Project:	$4,713,421

	The firm Hinkle Elkouri L.L.C. will serve as bond counsel in the transaction.  The Company will purchase the Bonds and as a result there is no need for an underwriter.  The Company agrees to comply with the City's requirements contained in the Letter of Intent.  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	2.82 to one	
			County	1.78 to one	
			USD 259	1.23 to one
			State               	5.78 to one

InfoNXX 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 Economic Development Incentive Policy, the project qualifies for a 100% tax exemption on property purchased with bond proceeds, based on creation of 944 new jobs and the investment of $6 million.  Because of the competitive recruitment effort, GWEDC recommended the term of abatement be increased to 5+5 years.  In addition to the property tax abatement, the project will qualify for a sales tax exemption on bond-financed property worth $344,000.

	The estimated first year's taxes on InfoNXX's proposed $4,713,421 expansion would be $81,756 on personal property improvements, based on the 2004 mill levy.  Using the allowable tax exemption of 100 percent, the City would be exempting (for the first year) $81,756 of new taxes from the personal property tax rolls.  The tax exemption would be shared among the taxing entities as follows:  City - $22,949; County/State - $21,820; and USD 259 - $36,986.

	Bond documents needed for the issuance of 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.

Vice-Mayor Schlapp	Vice-Mayor Schlapp inquired whether anyone wished to be heard and no one appeared.

Motion--		Vice-Mayor Schlapp moved that a Letter of Intent to InfoNXX Inc. for Industrial Revenue Bonds in an amount not-to-exceed $6 million, subject to the Letter of Intent conditions, for a term of six-months; 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 application for a sales tax exemption on bond-

HUD			HUD CONSOLIDATED PLAN PROCESS.

Mary K. Vaughn		Director of Housing and Community Services reviewed the item.

			Agenda Report No. 05-1054
			
	The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) provides annual funding for programs, which serve or benefit low to moderate-income persons.  This funding is a part of the HUD Consolidated Plan process and includes three funding sources:  Community Development Block Grant (CDBG); HOME Investment Partnership (HOME) and Emergency Shelter Grant (ESG).  HUD requires local governments to submit annual amendments to the Consolidated Plan to receive funding.  Each year the City of Wichita submits a One-Year Action Plan, outlining specific activities to be funded through the CDBG, HOME and ESG programs. In order to receive its annual allocation, the City must have an approved One-Year Action Plan.

	City staff annually develops funding estimates and makes recommendations for funding categories to the City Council. After discussion, the City Council approves allocation categories and amounts and staff issue Requests for Proposals and applications to agencies, which can provide the designated services.  In addition, the availability of funds is posted on the City's website, to attract applicants other than those directly solicited.

	Unofficially, HUD estimates reduced funding for the 2006/2007 CDBG program.   Therefore, staff has recommended funding categories and reduced amounts for 2006-2007, based on priorities of homeownership and based on Consolidated Plan priorities.  Staff estimates that funding for HOME and ESG will remain the same, and therefore no changes in 2006-2007 HOME and ESG funding categories are proposed.

	Staff will adjust funding categories and amounts once HUD announces final allocations.  All staff modifications will be presented to the City Council for final approval after RFPs and applications have been received and reviewed.

	Staff prepared the following funding estimates for 2006-2007:  CDBG - $3,107,364; HOME - $1,903,630; and ESG - $126,690.  These are all Federal funds; the only fund source requiring a match is HOME.  In the past, match funds of 25% have been achieved through creative partnerships with community agencies and have not required General Fund match support.

	All proposed Council actions and program activities are consistent with Federal regulations and requirements. 

Council Member Fearey	Council Member Fearey asked the City Manager what kind of affect would moving the community education section to the Parks Department, have on their budget.

George Kolb		City Manager stated that he does not know at this time but that the impact would not be felt until the end of June, which is the end of the CDBG period.  Stated that we could probably find a way to maintain the programs at least through the next budget year.  Stated that this is still under consideration, whether or not we need to re-engineer that program and figure out exactly where it should go.  Stated that he does not have a specific action plan to the Council to consider at this time but will by the next budget cycle.  Stated that we are attempting to re-engineer the community educators in the Parks and Recreation Department.  Stated that several recreation facilities have community educators and it would not be a great shift to include the program activities of the current community educators funded through the CDBG.  Stated that this is one option that they are taking a hard look at.

Council Member Brewer	Council Member Brewer stated that he understands what our Housing Director is doing and supports it but regarding the issue of community educators, which is a big factor in our districts and the services that we are providing to the citizens, that he would personally like to be involved in that process regarding how you are going to go about doing this.

George Kolb		City Manager stated that he thinks that what the Housing Director is bringing forward today, is a separate issue related to funding and the lack thereof and she has prioritized this based on community development priorities set by the Council as to what should be funded out of CDBG.  Stated that we have not had a chance to look at this in depth so that we can bring back a recommendation to the Council.  Stated that we are just as concerned as the Council is about this and are in the preliminary process of trying to address those issues.  Stated that the Council will be kept advised as they move forward.

Council Member Fearey	Council Member Fearey stated that it was mentioned that a high priority is home ownership and it has the most funding.  Asked if later on if it would be possible if it were the Council's decision, to move some of that funding into summer jobs and community educators.

Mary K. Vaughn		Director of Housing and Community Services stated that the impact on that would be that they would do fewer home repairs.

Vice-Mayor Schlapp	Vice-Mayor Schlapp inquired whether anyone wished to be heard.

Cybill Strum		Ms. Strum stated that there are a lot of people who are on a fixed income and do not have a lot of money to fix up their homes.  Stated that the Council should compromise and that some of the money should go to homes and some to education.

Motion--		Brewer moved that public hearing be closed; funding categories and reserve amounts for 2006-2007 Consolidated Plan funding, based on funding be approved and when starting this process, regarding what we are going to do with addressing the community educator, that the Council be involved in this process when addressing this issue.  Also to include when the Council is brought in that they also include one of the community educators that we have in the Park and Recreation Department and also

ELECTRICAL CODE	ORDINANCE CHANGES TO THE CITY OF WICHITA ELECTRICAL CODE, TITLE 19 OF THE CODE OF THE CITY OF WICHITA.

Kurt Schroeder		Office of Central Inspection reviewed the item.

			Agenda Report No. 05-1056

	The National Electrical Code (NEC), published by the National Fire Protection Association, is updated every three years in order to keep current with changing industry standards and practices. The 2005 NEC is the most current edition.  Presently, the City of Wichita is enforcing the 2002 edition of this code, as adopted and amended in Title 19 of the Code of the City of Wichita. 

	Similarly, ASME Standard A17.1, Safety Code for Elevators and Escalators, and ASME Standard A18.1, Safety Standard for Platform Lifts and Stairway Chairlifts, both published by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, are revised and updated about every four years to keep current with changing industry safety standards.  The 2004 and 2003 editions of these codes (respectively) are the most current editions. Wichita is presently enforcing the 1996 editions of these codes, as adopted and amended in Title 19.  
	The Board of Electrical Appeals (Board), along with Office of Central Inspection staff, have recently completed their review of the most current editions of the 2005 NEC, the 2004 Safety Code for Elevators and Escalators and the 2003 Safety Standard for Platform Lifts and Stairway Chairlifts.  Beginning in March 2005, the Board and OCI staff solicited input from various electrical trade organizations, elevator trade companies, the Wichita Area Builders Association and other interested individuals as they reviewed the new electrical codes and elevator safety standards.  At its September 13, 2005 meeting, the Board voted unanimously to recommend to City Council that the 2005 edition of the National Electrical Code, the 2004 edition of the Safety Code for Elevators and Escalators and the 2003 edition of the Safety Standard for Platform Lifts and Stairway Chairlifts be adopted by reference in Title 19, with proposed local amendments, as the electrical wiring/elevator installation code for the City of Wichita.  

	There are only a few significant changes to the national model codes/standards that will effect the local construction and electrical/elevator trade industry.  Most of the recommended local amendments are included to clarify the intent of certain code sections, or to codify local procedures and/or policies that have been in place and implemented for many years.  Significant changes include:

		·	Implementation of the NEC requirement for installation of arc-fault circuit breakers in bedrooms of newly constructed homes, and in bedroom additions to existing homes. This requirement was amended out of Title 19 during the 2002 NEC adoption process to further study the technology, and to more fully gage its performance (both nationally and within unincorporated Sedgwick County which has been enforcing the arc-fault circuit requirement since 2001).  Previous concerns expressed by the homebuilding industry related to reliability, cost and testing of arc-fault circuit equipment have been addressed, and local homebuilders (primarily represented by the Wichita Area Builders Association) are now supportive of this new technology as a reliable and effective life-safety device.

		·	Amending NEC Section 406.8(B)(1) & (2) to only require in-use weatherproof covers (commonly referred to as "bubble covers") in situations where a cord will be plugged into the receptacle while unattended, as in a timer or transformer for low voltage lights or an outside appliance that is continually plugged in.  This is in response to problems seen in maintaining the effectiveness of such "bubble covers" in many outdoor outlet situations.  For most exterior outlets, the more common metal flip-cover protectors will still be allowed in lieu of the "bubble covers".

		·	Replacing the "mobile home service technician" member of the Board of Electrical Appeals with a certified elevator mechanic. There has rarely been Board discussions that specifically affect mobile home service technicians, while there are frequent discussions of matters that relate to elevator codes, installations and technologies.  The specific knowledge and input of a certified elevator mechanic will be extremely valuable to the Board.

		·	Inclusion of a new requirement that a water well electrical permit, separate from any residential "combination" building permit, be required for water well installations. This will minimize confusion and/or delays at the final building occupancy inspection for new houses that are served by water well (for irrigation and/or non-potable drinking water purposes).  This amendment was developed with feedback from the industry, WABA and the Environmental Services Department.

		·	Electrical permit fee increases.  The minimum or base permit fee remains unchanged at $25 (increased about 10 years ago), but most of the specific permit work item fees (number of circuits, number of outlets, number/size of electrical service, number of motors, etc.) have not been significantly increased for about 40 years.  Even with the proposed fee increase, Wichita will have electrical permit fee rates that are very low relative to peer cities in this region.

		·	Elevator permit and safety inspection fee increases.  These fees have not been increased for about 15 years.  The proposed amendments increase the minimum elevator permit fee from $15 to $25 (consistent with all other trade permits minimum fees), and increase the fees for routine annual elevator inspections by $5 and for 5-year full load safety tests/inspections by $50 (from $150 to $200).

		·	Addition of new language requiring that an identification tag be located at the telephone terminal in a building with an elevator to identify the telephone line/number that is assigned to the emergency telephone in the elevator.  This is a life safety code enhancement, is not difficult to achieve, and has the support of the industry and the Building Owners and Managers Association (BOMA).

	The proposed amendments on electrical and elevator permits will increase annual OCI revenues by approximately $150,000.00. 

			The recommended ordinance revisions have been approved as to legal form by the Law Department.

A05-06R	A05-06R CAYWOOD, LLC AND DONNIE E. COOK, REQUEST TO ANNEX LANDS GENERALLY LOCATED SOUTHWEST OF THE INTERSECTION OF 63RD STREET SOUTH AND CLIFTON STREET.  (DISTRICT III)

			Agenda Report No.05-1060

	The City has received a request to annex 51.4 acres of land generally located southwest of the intersection of 63rd Street South & Clifton Street.  The annexation area abuts the City of Wichita to the west of the proposed property.  The property owner proposes to develop the property for single-family use.  The proposed property consists of a replat of Woodvale Addition, in addition to property that is currently being reviewed for plat approval.  

			Analysis:  
	Land Use and Zoning:  The proposed annexation consists of 51.4 acres of property currently zoned "SF-20" Single-Family District and "RR" Rural Residential.  Upon annexation, the zoning of the subject property will change from "SF-20" and "RR" to "SF-5" to allow for the lot sizes being platted.  Directly west of the proposed property lies the Big Arkansas River, and the west side of the River is developed "SF-5" Single-Family Residential and "RR" Rural Residential.  The properties to the east and south of the proposed annexation are zoned "RR" Rural Residential.  The properties directly to the north of the proposed site are zoned "SF-20" and "RR." 

	Public Services:  The City of Wichita signed a water agreement with the City of Derby on November 8, 2005 for the sale of water by Wichita in the El Paso Water Company, Inc., Service Area.  Baughman Company is currently working with the City of Wichita for sewer extensions to serve this proposed property.  The nearest sewer connections are approximately 1 mile to the north.

	Street System: The subject property currently has access to 63rd Street, Clifton Street and Vassar Street.  Clifton Street and Vassar Street are paved, two-lane roads.  According to the Sedgwick County Capital Improvement Program 2005-2009 and the Wichita-Sedgwick County MAPD Transportation Improvement Program 2004-2008, improvements are being made to the east of the proposed annexation property on 63rd Street South between Buckner and the Butler County line.  The County is currently upgrading 63rd Street to a four-lane paved road.  63rd Street South is a major commuter route to McConnell and Boeing and connects south Wichita with Derby and Butler County.

	In addition, the Sedgwick County Capital Improvement Program 2005-2009, the Wichita-Sedgwick County MAPD Transportation Improvement Program 2004-2008 and the City of Wichita Capital Improvement Program 2005-2014 has scheduled improvements to the west of the proposed annexation property.  These improvements include the widening of Hydraulic from 57th Street to 63rd Street, and the widening of 63rd Street South between Broadway and Hydraulic.

	Public Safety: Fire services to this site can be provided by the City of Wichita within a nine (9) to ten (10) minute approximate response time from City Station No. 19 located at 4440 South Broadway.  Upon annexation, police protection will be provided to the area by the Patrol South Bureau of the Wichita Police Department, headquartered at 211 East Pawnee.

	Parks:  South Arkansas River Greenway, a 158-acre park, is located about 3/4 of a mile to the south of the proposed annexation site.  It is expected that this parcel will remain a protected undeveloped area along the Arkansas River south of Wichita.  In addition, according to the 1996 Parks and Open Space Master Plan, a pathway is proposed along the west and southwest side of the subject property. 

	School District: The annexation property is part of the Unified School District 260 (Derby School District).  Annexation will not change the school district.

	Comprehensive Plan:  The proposed annexation is consistent with the Wichita-Sedgwick County Comprehensive Plan.  The proposed annexation property falls within the 2030 Wichita Urban Growth Area as shown in the Plan.  

	The current approximate appraised value of the proposed annexation lands, according to County records, is $203,040 with a total assessed value of $24,703.  Using the current City levy ($31.406/$100 x assessed valuation), this roughly yields $756 in City annual tax revenues for the property.  The future assessed value of this property will depend on the type and timing of any other developments on the proposed annexation property, and the current mill levy.  At this time, the property owner is seeking final approval of a plat to develop 109 single-family units on the subject property within the next five years.  The value of each developed lot is estimated at $88,000, so the total value after development is complete is estimated at $9,592,000.  Assuming the current City levy remains about the same, this would roughly yield $34,643 in City annual tax revenues. 

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

Motion--		Vice-Mayor Schlapp moved that the annexation request be approved and the Ordinance placed on
     --carried		first reading.  Motion carried 6 to 0, (Mayans absent).

A05-14R		A05-14R REQUEST BY PEARCE SCHNITZLER FARMS AND R & R REALTY, TO ANNEX LAND GENERALLY LOCATED NORTHWEST OF 53RD STREET AND MERIDIAN.  (DISTRICT VI)

			Agenda Report No. 05-1061

	The City has received a request to annex approximately 24.72 acres of land generally located northwest of the intersection at 53rd Street and Meridian.  The annexation area abuts the City of Wichita to the east.  In addition, a plat is currently being requested for this proposed annexation area, in which a Wal-Mart store is being proposed.  

			Analysis:  
	Land Use and Zoning:  The proposed annexation consists of approximately 24.72 acres of property currently zoned "SF-20" Single-Family Residential.  Upon annexation, the property will automatically convert to "SF-5" Single-Family Residential.  In addition, a request will be made to rezone the property for Limited Commercial use. 

	Property to the north, west and south of the subject property is zoned "SF-20" Single-Family Residential, while property to the east is zoned "LC" Limited Commercial, "GO" General Office, and "SF-5" Single-Family Residential.

	Public Services:  There is an existing 20" water line in Meridian along the east side of the subject property.  As part of the platting process, the developer is being required to extend water along 53rd Street, on the south side of the property.  The nearest current sewer line is located at Meridian and Keywest; but this area is currently in the design phase to extend a sewer main to service this property and a large area surrounding the property. 

	Street System: The subject property borders 53rd Street to the south and Meridian to the east.  Meridian is a paved 4-lane roadway with improvements at the intersection to add the 5th lane.  53rd Street is paved and is currently 5-lanes at the intersection and tapers back to 2-lane west of Meridian.  The City of Wichita Capital Improvement Program (CIP) 2005-2014, the 2004 Transportation Improvement Program, and the Sedgwick County Capital Improvement Program 2005-2009 do not call for improvements near the proposed annexation site.  

	Public Safety: Fire services to this site can be provided by the City of Wichita within a four (4) to five (5) minute approximate response time from City Station No. 13 located at 3162 W. 42nd Street North.  Upon annexation, police protection will be provided to the area by the Patrol North Bureau of the Wichita Police Department, headquartered at 3015 E. 21st Street North.

	Parks:   The Brooks Tract Park is currently being developed, which is 272-acres that is located approximately 1 mile to the southwest of the proposed annexation site.  In addition, Hellers Park is a 32-acre park, located approximately 2 miles to the southeast of the proposed annexation site.  Hellers Park has a half-mile dirt trail and is designated as a Wichita Wild Habitat Area.  According to the 1996 Parks and Open Space Master Plan, a pathway has been proposed that would run along the south boundary of the subject property.

	School District: The annexation property is part of the Unified School District 262 (Valley Center School District).  Annexation will not change the school district.

	Comprehensive Plan: The proposed annexation is consistent with the Wichita-Sedgwick County Comprehensive Plan. The annexation property falls within the 2030 Wichita Urban Growth Area as shown in the Plan.  

	The current approximate appraised value of the proposed annexation lands, according to County records, is $5,572 with a total assessed value of $1,6712.  Using the current City levy ($31.828/$1000 x assessed valuation), this roughly yields $52 in City annual tax revenues for the property.  The future assessed value of this property will depend on the type and timing of any other developments on the proposed annexation property, and the current mill levy.  At this time, the property owner is anticipating that the property will be developed within the next three years.  The total appraised value of this limited commercial development after completion is estimated at $12,534,908.  Assuming the current City levy remains about the same, this would roughly yield $98,418 in City annual tax revenues. 

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

Council Member Fearey	Council Member Fearey stated that this is a request for annexation and the proposed use on this is for a Walmart Store and that would require a rezoning.  Asked if the annexation today have any bearing on the rezoning.

John Schlegel		Planning Director explained that it does not and that the annexation that is being requested is consistent with the Wichita/Sedgwick County Comprehensive Plan and whether or not that rezoning request is granted or not when it comes before the City Council, this annexation would still be in conformance with that plan and they would still recommend that the Council approve the annexation.  Stated that this does not constitute an approval of the rezoning request.

Motion--		Fearey moved that the annexation request be approved and the Ordinance placed on first reading.

			Agenda Report No.05-1062

	The City has received a request to annex 155.53 acres of land generally located southwest of the intersection of Pawnee Street and 127th Street East.  The annexation area abuts the City of Wichita to the north.  The property owner anticipates that the proposed property will be developed with approximately 380 "SF-5" Single-Family Residential units, as well as, approximately 390,000 SF of office and/or commercial property.  An isolated road segment is also included with this annexation.

			Analysis:  
	Land Use and Zoning:  The proposed annexation consists of approximately 148 acres of property currently zoned "SF-20" Single-Family Residential, which upon annexation will convert to "SF-5" Single-Family Residential.  The proposed annexation also consists of approximately 7.33 acres of "LC" Limited Commercial property, which will remain "LC" Limited Commercial upon annexation, unless otherwise requested.

	Property to the west and south of the subject property is zoned "SF-20" Single-Family Residential, while property to the east is zoned "SF-20" and "LC."  Property to the north of the subject property is zoned "SF-5" Single-Family Residential and "LC" Limited Commercial.

	Public Services:  There is an existing 12" water line along Pawnee, coming from Greenwich and ending at the northwest corner of the subject property.  There is also an existing 8" sanitary sewer at the northwest corner of the subject property; but in addition, a 10" sewer line is planned that will cross Pawnee approximately 1/4 mile west of 127th Street.

	Street System: The subject property borders Pawnee Street to the north and 127th Street East to the east, which are both paved, two-lane arterial roads.  The City of Wichita Capital Improvement Program (CIP) 2005-2014 does not call for improvements to roads along the subject property, but has scheduled improvements to the west of the subject property that would widen Pawnee Street from Greenwich Road to Webb Road and Greenwich Road from Pawnee to Kellogg to a four or five lane road.  The 2004 Transportation Improvement Program and the Sedgwick County Capital Improvement Program 2005-2009 does not call for improvements near the proposed annexation site.  

	Public Safety: Fire services to this site can be provided by the City of Wichita within a nine (9) to ten (10) minute approximate response time from City Station No. 15 located at 7923 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 S. Edgemoor.

	Parks:   The W.B. Harrison Park, a 40.15-acre park, is located approximately 3 miles to the northwest of the proposed annexation site.  Amenities at the park include two tennis courts, a softball diamond, a rugby field, a children's play area, a jogging trail, a fishing pond, picnic tables and two parking areas.  According to the 1996 Parks and Open Space Master Plan, a pathway has been proposed that would run along the north boundary of the subject property along Pawnee, and then south through the property and then east along the south side of the subject property.

	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 the Wichita-Sedgwick County Comprehensive Plan. The annexation property falls within the 2030 Wichita Urban Growth Area as shown in the Plan.  

	The current approximate appraised value of the proposed annexation lands, according to County records, is $72,310 with a total assessed value of $13,235.  Using the current City levy ($31.828/$1000 x assessed valuation), this roughly yields $594 in City annual tax revenues for the property.  The future assessed value of this property will depend on the type and timing of any other developments on the proposed annexation property, and the current mill levy.  At this time, the property owner is anticipating that approximately 380 single-family housing units and approximately 390,000 sq. ft. of office and commercial property will be developed within the next twenty years.  The total appraised value of this residential development after completion is estimated at $47,500,000.  Assuming the current City levy remains about the same, this would roughly yield a total of $171,555 in City annual tax revenues. The total appraised value of the office and commercial development after completion is estimated at $9,400,000.  Assuming the current City levy remains about the same, this would roughly yield a total of $73,804 in City annual tax revenues.  In sum, after the residential, commercial and office developments are complete, the appraised value of the subject property is estimated at $56,900,000 and should roughly yield a total of $245,359 in City annual tax revenues.

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

			HOUSING AGENDA

SECTION 8		2006 PAYMENT STANDARDS-SECTION 8 HOUSING CHOICE VOUCHERS.	

			Agenda Report No. 05-1063

Mary K. Vaughn		Director of Housing and Community Services reviewed the item.

	Payment standards represent the amount of rent paid to owners, plus tenant paid utilities, and are established by Housing Authorities based on current Fair Market Rents.   The Department of Housing and Urban Development published a notice of Fair Market Rents (FMRs), effective October 1, 2005.  These FMRs are calculated to be at the 50th percentile of rents in the Wichita area, and include an allowance for utilities.  

	The Quality Housing and Work Responsibility Act (QHWRA) of 1998 requires that Housing Authorities operating Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Programs, establish Section 8 Voucher Payment Standards between 90% and 110% of the Published Fair Market Rent for each bedroom size.  The payment standards are used to calculate the amount of the monthly subsidy paid to landlords. 

	The QHWRA also includes a provision that a family, which initially receives Section 8 tenant-based assistance, may not be required to pay more than 40% of its adjusted monthly income for rent and utilities.  In order to determine appropriate rent rates for the WHA based on the latest published Fair Market Rent schedule, staff reviewed requests for tenancy and actual rents for the months of January through October 2005.  As a result of the staff review, Housing and Community Services recommends that the current payment standards for 0-2 and 4-6 bedroom sizes be calculated at 100% of the 2005 FMR.  The Department further recommends that payment standards for 3 bedroom units be calculated at 105% of 2005 FMR to meet the average rate of rent.   

	Following is a table of the October 2005 FMR, the current payment standards and the recommended increase or decrease in payment standards based on bedroom sizes:
			BEDROOM SIZE
					0	1	2	3	4	5		6

			FMR (10/1/2005)		439	492	635	816	930	  1069		1209	

			Current Pymt. Standard	429	492	658	886	963        1044		1180

			Recommended Standard	439	492	635	856	930        1069		1209

Decreasing the payment standards will help the Wichita Housing Authority (WHA) maintain the current number of households served.  Wichita Housing Authority recommends these standards in order to meet its goal of assisting as many households as possible, in light of continued decreases in Housing Assistance Payment funds by HUD.    

Motion--		Inafay Grays-McClellan moved that the revised Payment Standards for the Section 8 Voucher Program to be effective for January 1, 2006 for new clients and current clients who are relocating, and as of April 1, 2006 for current clients as determined by their recertification dates be approved.  Motion 
     --carried		carried 7 to 0, (Mayans absent).

Under that law, technical colleges became political subdivisions of the State.   

	The Aviation Education Center located on Airport property is used by WATC.  The existing Agreement on Conveyance of Real Estate covering such property is an agreement between the Wichita Airport Authority and USD 259.  The agreement provides for assignment with the consent of the non-assigning party.
