Gary Rebenstorf Director of Law reviewed the Item. Agenda Report No. 00-0601. The City Council has taken action to implement a new structure for citizen participation. In December, 1999, the District Advisory Board structure was established. Although the overall operation of the District Advisory Boards has proven to be satisfactory, a clarification of the function of ad hoc committees, task forces and study groups is necessary. The proposed amendment to the District Advisory Board ordinance is to clarify the role of ad hoc committees, task forces and study groups created by the District Advisory Boards. Such committees, task forces and groups may be created to advise and report only to a District Advisory Board on district area concerns and problems. District Advisory Boards may not organize Citywide committees, task forces or groups. The City Council is the only body with authority to create these groups. Gary Rebenstorf Director of Law, responding to a question, said two abutting district Council Members could work together on dual issues. Mayor Knight Mayor Knight inquired whether anyone wished to be heard and no one appeared. Motion -- carried Pisciotte moved that the Ordinance be placed on first reading. Motion carried 7 to 0. ORDINANCE An Ordinance of the City of Wichita, Kansas pertaining to District Advisory Boards; amending Section 2.61.030 of the Code of the City of Wichita; and repealing the original of said Section, introduced and under the rules laid over. BACKYARD DRAINAGE BACKYARD DRAINAGE POLICY. Steve Lackey Director of Public Works reviewed the Item. Agenda Report No. 00-0602 City and County staffs have received many complaints from citizens concerning backyard drainage. The majority of complaints were in newer subdivisions where walkout and/or viewout basements are being built and backyard drainage is usually along the back lot line. As a result, the amount of slope away from the house is reduced. This problem is not an issue in older subdivisions with buried basements and where most of the water flows to the street. The Wichita Area Builders Association has actively participated with the City and County in investigating and resolving many of these complaints. Research of backyard drainage systems indicates two conditions are primarily responsible for the problems. First, either the design of the rear yard swale slope was too flat or the original swale grade was altered to enable the construction of a certain type of home on a lot. Second, new homeowners obstruct the drainage by building fences, landscaping yards, or installing outbuildings. While City actions to control what a homeowner does after a home is purchased are limited, policies can be adopted to ensure that the drainage is correct at the time a new home is ready for occupancy. The proposed Policy is a product of City and County staffs and the Wichita Area Builders Association. The Policy requires developers submit a more detailed Master Drainage Plan at the time of final plat submittal. Once approved, the Plan would be recorded with the Sedgwick County Register of Deeds. The developers will have to stipulate the type of home to be built on each lot, consistent with available grades. The individual home site plans, when submitted to the City or County for permits, will have to be consistent with the subdivision’s master drainage plan. Final grade verification will be made at the time of final inspection prior to occupancy. It is the City’s opinion that existing Ordinances and the MAPC Subdivision Regulations are sufficient to allow for the implementation of the Policy. The MAPC reviewed the Policy on April 27, 2000 and voted 13-0 to recommend adoption by the City Council and Sedgwick County Commission. The Policy will be implemented within two months from final City Council and County Commission approval. No additional City financial resources are required to implement the Policy. Mayor Knight Mayor Knight inquired whether anyone wished to be heard and no one appeared. Motion -- carried Pisciotte moved that the policy be adopted. Motion carried 7 to 0.

STREET CLOSURES STREET CLOSURE: TYLER ROAD BETWEEN PAWNEE AND 31ST STREET SOUTH. (District V) Agenda Report No. 00-0619. Ritchie Paving has contracted to accomplish the reconstruction of Tyler Road in an area between Pawnee and 31st Street South. The Contractor is required to mill approximately 3 inches of the two-lane roadway, stabilize the subgrade, install a 3 inch asphalt base course and then install a 2 inch asphalt surface over the travel lanes and shoulders. The Contractor is requesting an approximate 11-day Closure of northbound Tyler Road in the project area from June 20 through June 30, 2000. Because the existing structure of the pavement shoulders is minimal in the project area there is a concern that the pavement may not withstand the pressures and wear of daily traffic. When this concern is combined with areas of minimal width, the idea of safely carrying two-way traffic during the reconstruction was determined to not be possible. After some discussion with area businesses it was determined that the Contractor would be required to maintain southbound Tyler Road traffic and detour northbound traffic to Maize Road. Message boards advising the public of the Closure of northbound traffic have been in place since June 14, 2000. During the Closure northbound Tyler Road will be detoured using 31st Street, Maize Road, and Kellogg/US 54. Southbound Tyler Road access to and from Yosemite Street will be maintained during the reconstruction. The Contractor is responsible for the construction barricades, detour signs and notification of affected businesses and residents. Motion -- carried Knight moved that the street closure be approved.

This Item was withdrawn from the Agenda. MMRS METROPOLITAN MEDICAL RESPONSE SYSTEM CONTRACT. Agenda Report No. 00-0604. The US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has invited the City to submit a proposal for development of a Metropolitan Medical Response System (MMRS) to create an enhanced ability to deal with the health and medical consequences of a nuclear, biological, or chemical terrorist incident. Wichita is among twenty- three cities included in the third tier of federally supported MMRS planning. The contract proposal is non- competitive; HHS has set aside funding specifically for Wichita’s program. The list of contract components represents elements required by the HHS request for proposals. Local health, fire, law enforcement, emergency medical, and emergency preparedness agencies have long been involved in responding to natural disasters and hazardous materials incidents. In recent years the possibility of terrorist use of weapons of mass destruction (WMD) has resulted in the need for expanded local response capabilities. The potential for attacks involving biological agents requires response capabilities in excess of those necessary for chemical exposures or physical damage subsequent to a natural disaster. A comprehensive health surveillance network is necessary to provide early indication of biological incidents to mitigate secondary spread, and biological attacks place substantially different demands on local health care facilities. Contingency planning for such events requires enhanced coordination of public and private sector entities involved, training specific to the risks presented, and acquisition of additional equipment and supplies necessary for an appropriate response. In addition to mitigating the effect of potential terrorist activity, the MMRS project holds the possibility for substantial collateral benefits. Enhanced health surveillance involving the Health Department, local hospitals and clinics, and other institutions will allow early identification of infectious disease trends and provide for more timely interventions. Improved capabilities in the emergency response sector will allow more effective handling of natural disasters or accidental occurrences. Preliminary discussions concerning the project have included representatives from the local and state health departments, all five local hospitals, local emergency medical service staff and local emergency preparedness agency personnel. Representatives from all sectors agree that enhanced planning and response capabilities are necessary, and have committed to participation in the MMRS development process. Additional stakeholders will be identified and included in the planning process. HHS has allocated $ 400,000 in the current federal fiscal year for the contract, with an option for $ 200,000 in additional funding for federal FY2002, subject to the availability of funds. MMRS development efforts will be funded entirely by the contract, including the Health Department’s indirect costs and administrative fees. Upon approval by HHS, the contract document will be submitted to the Department of Law for approval prior to execution. Motion -- Knight moved that the Health Department’s application for the contract be approved and the Director of Community Health be authorized to sign the contract, subject to approval by the Department of Law. Motion -- carried carried 7 to 0. FLEET MAINTENANCE CONTRACT FOR FLEET MAINTENANCE OPERATIONS REVIEW. Agenda Report No. 00-0605. The City of Wichita Fleet and Buildings Division of Public Works is responsible for the operation and maintenance of nearly 1,800 automobiles, light trucks, heavy trucks, and heavy equipment used by nearly all City departments. A Request for Proposal (RFP) was developed to contract services to evaluate the fleet operation and performance as well as provide recommendations for changes in service delivery, operational efficiency, and cost effectiveness of the fleet maintenance operation. The RFP was sent to 14 vendors, of which four (4) responded. A committee consisting of representatives from City Manager’s Office, Public Works, Water, Transit and Finance reviewed the proposals. DMG Maximus was selected based upon their demonstrated knowledge of fleet maintenance operations at least as large as the City’s, current maintenance practices and technologies, proven expertise to prepare a written evaluation, references, and cost. Funds are available in the Fleet and Buildings Internal Service Fund. City Council must approve contracts and budget transfers in excess of $10,000.

The State of Kansas receives Emergency Shelter Grant funds under the Stewart B. McKinney Homeless Assistance Act. These funds are in turn awarded to local units of government on behalf of homeless service providers throughout the state. The Kansas Department of Commerce and Housing issued a Notice of Funding Available (NOFA) for the 1999 Kansas Emergency Shelter Grant Program (KESGP). Private non-profit agencies are eligible to receive the funds, however the application must by submitted by the local governmental entity. Several agencies have submitted requests to the City for the KESGP funding. The KESGP funding is competitive on a statewide basis. The projects included in this application will be evaluated against all projects submitted by other city and county governments throughout the state. The grant application includes funds for the following agencies and activities: Catholic Charities Anthony Family Shelter and Emergency Services - Funds are requested for operating and maintenance costs of $8,602. Catholic Charities Harbor House - Funds are requested for operating and maintenance costs of $6,000.

DRUG ELIMINATION PUBLIC HOUSING DRUG ELIMINATION GRANT. Agenda Report No. 00-0607. The Quality Housing and Work Responsibility Act of 1998, otherwise known as the 1998 Housing Reform Act, included amendments to the Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1988, which allowed HUD to change the Public Housing Drug Elimination Program from a competitive application process to a formula allocation based on the size of the public housing program. Prior to this change, housing authorities that had high concentrations of housing stock in large developments were at an advantage in applying for these funds. Other 1998 changes in the law allows activities “in and around,” rather than “on the premises of” public housing, and allowed the funds to be used to fight violent crime as well as drug- related crime. These changes make the PHDEP available to and usable by the Wichita Housing Authority. HUD has issued a Notice Of Funding Available (NOFA) making 127,126 available for the Wichita Housing Authority upon submittal of an acceptable application. Staff has prepared an application in accordance with the NOFA. The activities included in the application focus on preventive activities for youth; programs aimed at families, which will increase the overall family functioning, thus working to prevent substance abuse and crime; supportive services such as child care, transportation, etc., to enable public housing residents to access existing substance abuse treatment programs and services; and a gun buy-back program to remove guns from public housing neighborhoods. The gun buy-back program would be implemented by the Police Department. The regulations require that any subgrantees be identified in the application. In anticipation of this application, the Housing Services Department issued an RFP for youth programs that would provide drug intervention/prevention programs in and around public housing. A review panel consisting of city staff from the Housing Department, Park Department, and representatives from Sedgwick County and the United Way evaluated the proposals and selected Big Brothers Big Sisters to receive a contract in the amount of $85,950 to provide 200 youth ages 6 through 18 in public housing areas one-to-one matches and/or additional multi programmatic leadership development activities in collaboration with other community agencies. The application has been submitted to the Board of Housing Commissioners for review at their June 15 meeting. The amount of the application is $127,166. No local funding will be committed. Motion -- Knight moved that the application and grant award be approved; the Contract with Big Brothers Big Sisters be -- carried authorized; and the necessary signatures be authorized.

The FEMA program provides funds for the purchase price and 85% of closing costs and demolition costs not covered by insurance. Any costs not funded by FEMA will be paid from the Property Management Special Revenue fund contingency. A budget of $127,100 is requested. This includes $119,850 for the acquisition, $6,500 for demolition and $750 for closing costs and title insurance. FEMA’s participation will be used to offset this amount when received.

Agenda Report No. 00-0612. The City of Wichita has a tradition of open local government and the Kansas Open Records Act (K.S.A. 45-215 et seq.) is complementary to that spirit of openness. Since 1984, the City Manager has designated the City Clerk as the official records custodian of the City under the Kansas Open Records Act. Administrative Regulation 70 establishes the procedures for City official and employees to provide for public access to records of the City consistent with the requirements of the Act. Each Department has designated records custodians to facilitate that public access. The 2000 Legislature amended the Kansas Open Records Act by 2000 H.B. 2864, effective July 1, 2000. These changes require Council action to designate a local freedom of information officer and necessitate changes to AR 70. The resolution reflects official Council action to designate the City Clerk, currently Pat Burnett, as the local freedom of information officer (LFIO) of the City. AR 70 has been revised to update the procedures to be followed by City officers and employees in granting access to records. The statutory duties of the LFIO are supplementary to the existing duties of the “records custodian” and include the following: 1. Prepare and provide educational materials and information concerning the open records act; 2. Assist City officials and members of the general public in resolving disputes relating to the open records act; 3. Respond to inquiries relating to the open records act; 4. Prepare a brochure and other information about the Act, the rights of a requestor, the responsibilities of the City, and the procedures for inspecting and obtaining a copy of public records. A draft of the brochure prepared by the City Clerk is included. The LFIO and the departmental records custodian are required to display and distribute this brochure to the public at appropriate offices in the City. Information sessions and training is currently underway for management staff and records custodians. These sessions provide and information on the changes to the law enacted this year as well as a refresher on the requirements of the Act The brochure is consistent with the requirements of the Kansas Open Records Act. Motion -- Knight moved that the documents be received and filed; and the Resolution be adopted. Motion carried -- carried 7 to 0. RESOLUTION NO.

(Item No. 26) ZON2000-00016 & ZON2000-00016 – ZONE CHANGE FROM “B” MULTI-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL TO GO” GENERAL CON2000-00014 OFFICE; AND CON2000-00014 – CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT TO ALLOW ANIMAL CARE LIMIT (SMALL ANIMAL CLINIC), GENERALLY LOCATED SOUTH OF CENTRAL, EAST OF STRATFORD DRIVE – 7015 EAST CENTRAL. (District II) Agenda Report No. 00-0616. MAPC Recommendation: Approve, subject to conditions. Staff Recommendation: Approve, subject to conditions and the additional provisions of a Protective Overlay (6-4) The applicant is seeking a zone change from the “B”, Multiple-family Residential district to the “GO”, General Office district, and a Conditional Use Permit for “animal care, limited” (small animal clinic) on property located south of Central, east of Stratford Drive (extended) (7015 E. Central). The property is currently developed with an office building containing space for four tenants, two of which are currently occupied. The applicant indicates all services and kennel spaces would be located indoors. Surrounding land uses are: single family residential (“SF-6”, Single family Residential) north of Central; multi- family residential (“B”, Multi-family Residential) on the east and south; and a synagogue (“SF-6”, Single family Residential) on the west. Access to the site is via two access points located on Central. Screening fencing currently exists along the south, east and west side of the property. The “Unified Zoning Code” allows “animal care, limited” in the “GO” district if “no noise or odor is discernable at the property line, all animals shall be harbored indoors and treatment of animals shall be limited to dogs, cats and other small animals.” On May 25, 2000, the MAPC heard this case. Four adjoining property owners spoke in opposition. They cited potential decrease in property value and the enjoyment of their property caused by the additional uses which the “GO” district would permit, potential increase in noise and odor and difficulty of gaining the applicant’s cooperation in addressing fence maintenance issues. They also indicated this was the third time they have had to protest a more intensive zoning request on this property. In their opinion, the current zoning is appropriate. Approval of “GO” zoning would introduce more intense uses in a residential setting. MAPC recommended approval of the request, subject to: 1. Protective Overlay No. 73 which restricts uses to those permitted in the existing “B” Multi-family district, plus animal care, limited and general office uses as described in the “office, general” definition contained in the Unified Zoning Code. 2. The site shall be developed and utilized in general conformance with the site plan submitted with this request. 3. Any violation of the conditions of approval shall render the conditional use permit null and void. Motion -- Pisciotte moved that having reviewed the recommendation of the MAPC, this Item be denied based on the following facts: 1) The property in question is zoned “B” Multifamily, a residential category. Although medical office uses are permitted in this district, they have been recognized as one of a limited number of non-residential uses that have been allowed as exceptions in this district for decades in the City’s zoning code. All of the land for more than ¼ mile in all directions is zoned in even more restrictive residential categories, and with the exception of the temple to the west, is developed with residential uses. Approving any kind of commercial zoning district, even the proposed General Office district, would be out of character with the pattern established in this area and could be used as justification for additional rezoning changes on this property or other properties in the vicinity. 2) The applicant has not demonstrated that the property is unsuited for the uses that are permitted by the present zoning category. This building has been well-occupied for years for medical office uses. Other uses, such as residential uses and private clubs, are also permitt4ed under the current zoning. 3) The Land Use Guide of the Comprehensive Plan depicts this tract and the adjacent apartments as appropriate for “high density residential” use, surrounded by lower density residential use. This appears to recognize the intent to limit the uses permitted on this property rather than expand it to allow additional commercial uses. 4) Significant neighborhood opposition has been registered with regard to this zoning change, as documented in the minutes of the MAPC hearing, and through written protests filed by 12 property owners representing 57.7 percent of the land surround and within 200 feet of the property. Similar neighborhood opposition led to the denial or withdrawal of previous rezoning requests for this property in 1984 and 1986. -- carried Motion carried 7 to 0.

The park may be accessed through entrances located off 13th Street North. Also, W.B. Harrison Park, a 40.15 acre community park, is located approximately three (3) miles south and west of the property proposed for annexation. The Wichita-Sedgwick County Parks and Open Space Master Plan: Parks and Pathways indicates potential future park sites near the northeast corner of 127th Street E and Harry and at the southeast corner of 13th Street N and 143rd Street E. There are no existing neighborhood parks in the vicinity of the subject property. School District: The property is located in Unified School District 259 (Wichita School District). Annexation will not change the school district. Urban Growth Area & Policy 32: The property is located within the current Policy 32 urban service area as well as the 2010 and 2030 urban service area boundaries, as depicted in the 1999 Update to the Comprehensive Plan, recently adopted by the Metropolitan Area Planning Commission on March 16, 2000. The property proposed for annexation is currently vacant, although the assessed value is $1,632. The future assessed value of this property will depend on the timing of development, the type of development and the current mill levy. However, the applicant projects an overall assessed value of $18,500,000 when development is completed. The property is eligible for annexation under K.S.A. 12-520.

A 00-07 A 00-09 A 00-09 – REQUEST FOR ANNEXATION OF PROPERTY GENERALLY LOCATED SOUTH OF 21ST STREET NORTH, EAST OF 135TH STREET WEST. (District V) Agenda Report No. 00-0618. The City has received a request from the City Water and Sewer Department to annex a 4.8 acre area situated south of 21st Street North and east of 135th Street West. The site, located approximately ½ mile from the current city limits, was recently purchased by the City of Wichita for the purpose of constructing the Northwest Treatment Plant Pump Station. An unoccupied single-family residential home is presently situated on this property. Land Use and Zoning: The annexation site consists of one (1) undeveloped contiguous tract of land zoned “SF-20” Single Family Residential. Land to the north, south, east and west of the site is zoned “SF-20” Single Family Residential. Upon annexation, the “SF-20” Single Family Residential zoning of the subject property will convert to “SF-6” Single Family Residential. Construction of the pump station will require a later filing and approval of a Conditional Use permit. Development of the pump station is expected to be completed within two (2) years. Public Services: The City Water and Sewer Department indicates that the subject property will have access to sanitary sewer as part of its function. Most of the sewer lines will be in 21st Street North, adjacent to the site, and will connect to the station. The size of the lines is still under consideration, however the lines could be from 16” to 24”. As for water, a 12” water main exists in 21st Street North ending at Tealbrook. Also, the installation of 16” water mains, (in 135th Street West from 29th to 21st , and in 21st North from 135th to Tealbrook), are projected for completion within two (2) years. Street System: The property proposed for annexation will have access to 21st Street North, a two-lane unimproved section line road, which serves the area as the nearest major east-west road. The site will also have access to 135th Street West, a two-lane unimproved section line road, which serves the area as the nearest major north-south road. Currently, there are no plans to further improve that portion of 21st Street North or that portion of 135th Street West in the City of Wichita 2000-2009 C.I.P. or the 2000-2004 Sedgwick County C.I.P. Public Safety: The Wichita Fire Department can serve this site within an eight (8) to ten (10) minute approximate response time from City Station #16 located at 1632 N. Tyler Road. Upon annexation, police protection will be provided to the area by the Patrol West Bureau of the Wichita Police Department, headquartered at 661 N. Elder. Parks: Sunset Park, a 19 acre neighborhood park, is located approximately three (3) miles east of the property proposed for annexation. The park may be accessed through entrances located at 17th and Keith Streets. Additionally, Swanson Park, a 93 acre special use park, is approximately three (3) miles southeast of the property proposed for annexation. The Wichita-Sedgwick County Parks and Open Space Master Plan: Parks and Pathways indicates plans for two (2) future parks near the area proposed for annexation, one near the intersection of 21st Street North and 135th Street West and the other near Maize Road and 29th Street North. School District: The property is located in Unified School District 266 (Maize School District). Annexation will not change the school district. Urban Growth Area & Policy 32: The property is located outside of the urban growth area of the City of Wichita as shown in the 1996 update to the Wichita-Sedgwick County Comprehensive Plan. Although the property is located outside of the current Policy 32 urban service area, the property is located within the 2010 urban service area, as depicted in the 1999 Update to the Comprehensive Plan, recently adopted by the Metropolitan Area Planning Commission on March 16, 2000. The property proposed for annexation is currently vacant with the exception of a few unoccupied, farm related structures that will be removed prior to the development of the site. The total appraised value of the property is $97,930, resulting in an assessed value of $87,800. Using the current City levy ($31.406/$1000 x assessed valuation), this roughly yields $2,758 in City annual tax revenues for the property. However, the property will become tax exempt due to the development of the pump station The property is eligible for annexation under K.S.A. 12-520.
