Mayor Mayans read aloud the proclamation. Recognition Mayor Mayans and Council Members recognized and thanked Tracy Guidry for her work in the City Council Office and wished her well with her new position with the Finance Department. PUBLIC AGENDA Dan Brooks Dan Brooks, District Judge-Downtown transportation and the new arena. Judge Brooks stated that he is here today as a citizen and that he came to talk about the new arena and the planning process for it. Stated that he is optimistic about it and confident that it will be run well and will be a success in terms of its own operation a lot sooner than the pessimists might say. Stated that this is an opportunity to use the arena as a keystone for a comprehensive downtown transportation plan. Stated that he suggests that in planning this that the most important thing to think of, is for this as a car exchanger, a place where people will come and intuitively know where to go and leave their car and have the freedom of downtown. Stated that this is bigger than the arena and this is where we are going with transportation to make cars and downtown Wichita work together and work for the next 50 years. Stated that if you have a downtown transportation system that works, then you no longer have to use half of downtown for parking, which would double the amount of land that you would have available for development. Stated that downtown will never work unless there are people living down there. Stated that he thinks this is a priceless opportunity and encourages the Council to strongly look at this during their planning process. Marydel Grayum Marydel Grayum-Progress Report for the ProKS/Miller Recycling Center's first year of operation. Ms. Grayum thanked the Council for their support that they have received for recycling. Stated that Saturday, August 20, 2005, the Miller Recycling Center will celebrate its first year anniversary. Stated that this will be a day that many thought would never happened and would not have been possible had the City Council not allowed them the use of a City owned building that might otherwise have stood empty. Stated for them, recycling is a matter of quality of life. Stated that she has had a chance to visit with many of the people who come through the center and many have expressed their frustration with the apparent ambivalence of the local government bodies regarding recycling. Stated that citizens often feel that they have no voice and decisions made by national, state, county or local governments and recycling is their one chance to demonstrate their commitment to a better Wichita. Stated that the City Council can do the following things to show their support for recycling: 1) continue to furnish a facility for the recycling efforts; 2) truly support recycling by City departments; 3) see that plastic bottles and cans are collected at the River Festival and the Kansas Flight Festival in addition to the local fund raisers that use public parks and streets; 4) it would be helpful if they could borrow a traffic counter from the Public Works Department so that they could get an accurate count of the number of vehicles entering their facility each month and 5) to see changes in the sanitation regulations that would give financial relief to citizens who choose to recycle, instead of commissioning a study, allow citizens and representatives from the private companies who currently provide trash services to explore equitable options. James Joe James Joe-Concerned Citizen that is troubled by the political activism toward the same status quo pro-government ideology and policies put forth by this body. Mr. James stated that he is troubled by political activism toward the same status quo pro-government ideology and policies put forth by this body. Asked the Council to stop playing landlords and business proprietors and wasting the people's money on failed projects, such as the Hyatt, Ice Rink, Indian Center, Kansas Coliseum, Exploration Place, Century II and most probable the new downtown arena. Asked that the Council quit investing in government and begin investing in the people that they represent and spur the economic growth the way it has always proved to work, which is through the expertise of the private sector. Asked that the tax rate for businesses be lowered and the City will begin to attract businesses. Stated that pro-government policies must stop.

(ZON 2004-62) UNFINISHED BUSINESS WATER SUPPLY WATER SUPPLY PLAN-MODIFIED. (Continued October 3, 2000) Dave Warren Director of Water and Sewer reviewed the item. Agenda Report No. 05-0761 On October 3, 2000, the City Council approved and instructed Staff to begin implementation of the Concept Design Plan for the Integrated Local Water Supply Plan. The Integrated Local Water Supply Plan (ILWS) includes the use of a number of local water supply sources that will be used together to meet water supply needs through the year 2050. Since the plan's approval, Staff has continued to evaluate alternative treatment technologies to see if the use of any would help optimize components of the plan. On March 25, 2003, the City Council approved a Supplemental Agreement with Burns & McDonnell for services necessary to run the computer model to evaluate the results of pilot work on the alternate treatment technologies. Many of the water sources are not firm supplies, in that they are not consistently available, but available periodically. To evaluate whether the supply sources would be adequate to meet future water supply needs, and to determine the combination of sources that would be the most cost-effective, Staff with Burns & McDonnell developed a computerized operations model. Since completion of the ILWS Plan, there have been advances in treatment technology and reductions in the cost of technology, such as ballasted flocculation and reverse osmosis. These present an opportunity to reduce costs. Following the completion of the Reverse Osmosis Feasibility Study, Burns & McDonnell completed evaluation of the alternatives and included them in an Operations Modeling and Economic Evaluation. The evaluation first considered several alternatives that included the use of water from the Arkansas River, and evaluated whether they would improve water availability. The evaluations assumed using reverse osmosis treatment on water obtained from the river that could be acquired any time flows in the river exceeded 50 cubic feet per second. The same analysis was performed with the assumption that flows in the river had to be at least 100 cubic feet per second before water could be diverted. Seven (7) scenarios were evaluated with the aide of a computer model to compare impacts on available water supplies during extreme drought conditions. The evaluation determined that the only scenario that improved water supply availability during extreme drought is one that could capture and treat up to 30 million gallons per day (mgd) of river water at a site near 21st Street and Hoover. A water treatment plant is planned at the 21st Street and Hoover site as part of the ILWS Plan. The modification to the ILWS Plan would include: 1. Ability to divert 30 mgd from the Arkansas River 2. A 30 mgd reverse osmosis treatment plant 3. No changes in the amount of water acquired from Cheney Reservoir 4. An ASR project with a capacity to capture and recharge up to 75 mgd (a reduction of 25 mgd in the size of the ASR project) 5. Acquire 10 mgd from the Bentley wellfield during peak summer days 6. Expansion of 15 mgd in the local wellfield (reduced from original expansion of 45 mgd) 7. Continued water conservation This scenario includes using the reverse osmosis as the first phase of the anticipated 65 mgd water treatment plant at 21st Street and Hoover, with reverse osmosis being used to treat water from the Equus Beds when river flows are too low to be diverted. In addition to evaluating the use of reverse osmosis to treat water from the Arkansas River, Staff has been considering and testing other treatment technologies that could be used as part of the ASR project. This evaluation included an economic analysis of the various treatment alternatives that have been considered and tested to determine if they would result in lower costs, as well as the impact of adjusting the quantities of water captured directly from the river, or from diversion wells adjacent to the river. The original concept was to capture up to 100 mgd from the Little Arkansas River, with 75 mgd captured with diversion wells and 25 mgd captured with a surface water diversion. The evaluation compared the original concept with options to: 1. Capture 10 mgd with wells and 90 mgd with a surface water diversion. 2. Capture 40 mgd with wells and 60 mgd with a surface water diversion. 3. Capture 15 mgd with wells and 60 mgd with a surface water diversion along with 20 mgd of from the Arkansas River (RO treatment) 4. Capture 15 mgd with wells and 60 mgd with a surface water diversion along with 30 mgd of from the Arkansas River (RO treatment) The analysis included evaluating construction costs of the options and ongoing operation and maintenance costs for the various treatment schemes. This information is best displayed by comparing present value costs for each scheme showing the combination of the construction costs, and the anticipated operation and maintenance costs through the year 2050. The Operations Modeling and Economic Evaluation considered the impact of arsenic treatment on water diverted from wells. Some of the test wells located near the Little Arkansas River contained native arsenic levels in excess of the new drinking water standard of 10 parts per billion. The analysis included the financial impact if additional treatment is used to remove arsenic before the water is recharged. It was determined that the overall costs of the 40/60 alternative and the 15/60 with 20 mgd of Arkansas River alternative had the lowest costs, with 40/60 alternative being slightly lower, even with arsenic treatment included. One consideration, not included in the cost evaluation, is access to sites to install the wells adjacent to the river. To implement the original 75/25 option, approximately 53 wells would need to be installed along the Little Arkansas River. The 40/60 option reduces the number of required wells to approximately 28. A reduction in well sites will provide flexibility in selecting and negotiating for sites and help reduce opposition by agricultural producers in the project area, consequently, reducing acquisition costs. The recommended revision is based on the analysis in the Operations Modeling and Economic Evaluation and the conditions in the MOU with the Groundwater Management District. Staff recommends that the ILWS Plan be modified to pursue the 40/60 option, with Phase 2 of the ASR based on capturing and recharging 30 mgd of surface water. Also recommended is that reverse osmosis technology be re-evaluated, prior to Phase 3 of the ASR project, to determine if advances in technology improve the cost-effectiveness of reverse osmosis treatment. Costs for the original 75/25 and 40/60 ASR plans are essentially the same, at $137 million and $138 million respectively, if arsenic treatment is not needed. If arsenic treatment is required, the 75/25 plan will increase by approximately $21 million, the 40/60 plan by $12 million. The Capital Improvement Program includes $7 million in 2005 and $22.88 million in 2006 for W-549, Water Supply Plan. The estimated cost for the portion of the ILWS Plan, as outlined for the next two years, is $17 million. There are no legal considerations.

AMENDMENT OF INDUSTRIAL REVENUE BOND DOCUMENTS, BUTTONWOOD TREE APARTMENTS. (DISTRICT II) Lisa Jones Industrial Analyst reviewed the item. Agenda Report No. 05-0762 In April 2002, the City Council approved the issuance of its Multi-Family Housing Revenue Bonds in the amount of $7,750,000 for the purpose of acquiring and rehabilitating an existing 216-unit apartment project known as Buttonwood Tree Apartments, located at 9211 East Harry in southeast Wichita. The Bonds were sold in a private placement. The City Council also approved the developer's application for Low-Income Housing Tax Credits in connection with the Project. The Project was leased to Buttonwood Tree Apartments, LLC (the "Company") and the Company's obligations under the Bond Lease were additionally secured by a note and mortgage in favor of the City. In connection with the financing, the Company entered into a Repair Agreement with the Bondholder Representative and mortgage loan servicer that provided that certain repairs would be made to the property and certain other conditions would be met prior to an expected conversion of the note to permanent financing terms. Although the Project has been acquired and rehabilitated by the Company and is being operated as an affordable housing project, the Company has failed to meet all the conditions to conversion contained within the Repair Agreement and is therefore in technical default under the financing documents. The Bondholder Representative has negotiated a workout agreement with the Company which includes interest rate modifications, an extension of the conversion date to August 1, 2007, and removal of the original managing member of the Company and its replacement by Affordable Multi-Family, LLC, as affiliate of the tax credit investor limited partner. In connection with the workout, the Company and Bondholder Representative are requesting that the City amend the Bond Indenture to modify the interest rate on the Bonds and consent to conforming modifications to the other financing documents and an amendment to the mortgage note. There is no financial impact on the City resulting from the amendment. Mayor Mayans Mayor Mayans inquired whether anyone wished to be heard and no one appeared.

KEYSTONE APTS. PUBLIC HEARING: RESOLUTION OF SUPPORT FOR LOW INCOME HOUSING TAX CREDIT APPLICATION, KEYSTONE APARTMENTS. (DISTRICT III) Mary K. Vaughn Director of Housing and Community Services reviewed the item. Agenda Report No. 05-0765 The City has received a request from Midwest Ventures, LLC (Midwest), for a City Council resolution of support for its application for Low-Income Housing Tax Credits in connection with the renovation of the Keystone Apartments. The State of Kansas requires developers/owners to obtain a resolution of support from the local government, when submitting applications for financing through the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit Program. Under the City's adopted Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) policy, developers/owners must present proposed LIHTC projects to the applicable District Advisory Board (DAB). The policy requires a subsequent review by the Housing Advisory Board (HAB) and the City's Development Coordinating Committee (DCC). The Planning Department and the Office of Central Inspection (OCI) also review the project for design appropriateness. Once the project is reviewed and approved by the DAB, the HAB, DCC, Planning and OCI, it is forwarded to the City Council for a public hearing, with a staff recommendation regarding the resolution of support for the LIHTC application. On April 19, 2005, at the request of Midwest, the City Council adopted a resolution of support for a proposed LIHTC project involving a "Phase I" renovation of one-half of the units within the Keystone complex. The Council adopted the resolution following review and recommendation for approval by DAB III on March 2, 2005, the HAB, OCI and the Planning Department, in accordance with the City's LIHTC Policy. Midwest submitted an application for the tax credits but did not receive an allocation during the first round application process. The Kansas Housing Resources Corporation, administrator of the State of Kansas' LIHTC program, encouraged Midwest to re-submit its application, and recommended an increase in the project scope to include renovation of the entire apartment complex, which consists of 180 units. The Keystone Apartments are located at 758 S. Sylvan Lane, directly north of Southeast High School. The apartment community offers one and two bedroom apartments in four-plex style structures. The City's Low Income Housing Tax Credit Policy requires a set-aside of 20% of the units (36 total units) for market rate tenants. Midwest Ventures has agreed to comply with this requirement. Thus, the LIHTC application will provide funding toward renovation of 144 units. The proposed renovation will include replacement of exterior siding, windows and doors, roof repair, complete interior remodeling, and resurfacing of the parking lots. The modified project plan has been reviewed by the Housing and Community Services Department. DAB III voted to approve a recommendation for adoption of the resolution of support by a 9-2 vote during its August 3, 2005 meeting. The HAB and the DCC continue to be supportive of the project. The total project cost is estimated to be $1,630,550. The applicant intends to finance the project utilizing funding from the sale of the tax credits in the approximate amount of $1,135,940. The balance of the construction cost will be financed with a private bank loan in the approximate amount of $393,812, and the owner's equity investment. The City will not directly participate in the financing of the project. In accordance with City Council Resolution No. R-95-479, Midwest has notified property owners within 200 feet of the proposed project, in order to allow them the opportunity to provide comment to the City Council regarding the project. This resolution also requires that the Council hold a public hearing. Upon closing the public hearing, the Council may vote on a motion to approve the resolution of support for the application of low-income housing tax credits. The resolution document has been approved as to form by the City Law Department. Mayor Mayans Mayor Mayans inquired whether anyone wished to be heard and no one appeared. Motion-- Skelton moved that the public hearing be closed; the Resolution be adopted and the necessary --carried signatures be authorized. Motion carried 7 to 0. RESOLUTION NO. 05-440 A Resolution establishing support for an application for low income tax credits, as required by the State of Kansas, presented. Skelton moved that the Resolution be adopted.

PUBLIC HEARING: RESOLUTION OF SUPPORT FOR LOW INCOME HOUSING TAX CREDIT APPLICATION, WINDRIDGE APARTMENTS. (DISTRICT IV) Mary K. Vaughn Director of Housing and Community Services reviewed the item. Agenda Report No. 05-0766 The City has received a request from Michaels Development Company (MDC) for a City Council resolution of support for its application for Low-Income Housing Tax Credits in connection with the acquisition and renovation of the Windridge Apartments. The State of Kansas requires developers/owners to obtain a resolution of support from the local government, when submitting applications for financing through the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit Program. Under the City's adopted Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) policy, developers/owners must present proposed LIHTC projects to the applicable District Advisory Board (DAB). The policy requires a subsequent review by the Housing Advisory Board (HAB) and the City's Development Coordinating Committee (DCC). The Planning Department and the Office of Central Inspection (OCI) will also review the project for design appropriateness. Once the project is reviewed and approved by the DAB, the HAB, DCC, Planning and OCI, it is forwarded to the City Council for a public hearing, with a staff recommendation regarding the resolution of support for the LIHTC application. MDC proposes to acquire and renovate the Windridge Apartments, which are located at 2502 Wildwood Street. The apartment complex offers 136 units of one, two, three and four bedroom apartments. Amenities include common area playgrounds and a clubhouse. The project is currently subsidized under a project-based Section 8 rental assistance contract with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Families occupying the apartments receive monthly rental assistance, based on household income level. The apartments were originally constructed in 1969, and then renovated in 1987 with funding provided through the Housing Tax Credit Program. The project has always been 100% subsidized. The City's Low Income Housing Tax Credit Policy requires a set-aside of 20% of the units (in this case, 27 total units) for market rate tenants. MDC is asking for a waiver of this requirement. The tax credit policy allows for a reduction in market rate units if the project is to be occupied by special needs populations, or if there are extenuating circumstances, or if market conditions support a deviation from the guideline. In this case, the developer is asking for a waiver due to market conditions. According to the Market Conditions and Project Evaluation summary prepared by Novogradac and Company, units offered as market-rate would not be successful unless the entire project was re-positioned as a market-rate development. In addition, given the current surplus of market-rate product in the vicinity, it is unlikely that the project could attract market-rate tenants. Thus, rent levels for market-rate units would have to be positioned low in order to attract market-rate tenants. Should rent amounts for 20% of the units be reduced without the benefit of financing under the tax credit program, the financial viability of the project could be compromised. The proposed renovation of the apartments will include plumbing and HVAC upgrades, new kitchen and bathroom cabinets/countertops/sinks, new flooring, new windows and roof repair. The "hard cost" of the renovation is expected to be $2,705,300. As required by the tax credit policy, OCI and the Planning Department have reviewed the proposed project. Additional landscaping will be required along the public streets, and new tree plantings in the open space/common areas. There will also be some requirements for the upgrading of parking and accessible routes to assure ADA parking access to ADA apartments/buildings/units, and to common areas, such as the clubhouse and the office. The District IV Advisory Board approved a recommendation of adoption of a resolution of support for the project during its July 6, 2005 meeting, by a 7-0 vote. The HAB also approved recommendation of adoption of a resolution during its July 20, 2005 meeting, by a 7-0 vote. The DCC has also recommended adoption of the resolution. It should also be noted that the City Council approved adoption of a resolution of support for this project on March 16, 2004, however the investor/developer did not pursue the project. The total project cost is estimated to be approximately $9,225,851, including an acquisition cost of $4,500,000, renovation costs of $2,705,300, and project "soft" costs in the amount of $2,020,551. Project "soft" costs include architectural fees, relocation expenses, market studies, loan fees, developer fees, project reserves, etc. The applicant intends to finance the project utilizing proceeds from the sale of tax credits in the amount of $4,386,101, a permanent loan in the amount of $3,823,013, a seller's note in the amount of $577,326, and interim income and reserve balances in the total amount of $439,411. Rent amounts, net of utilities, for the apartments, are as follows: One-Bedroom, $400; Two-Bedroom, $525; Three-Bedroom, $625; Four-Bedroom, $725. In accordance with City Council Resolution No. R-95-479, TRC has notified property owners within 200 feet of the proposed project, in order to allow them the opportunity to provide comment to the City Council regarding the project. City Council Resolution No. R-95-479 also requires that the City Council hold a public hearing. Upon closing the public hearing, the Council may vote on a motion to approve the resolution of support for the application of low-income housing tax credits.

(Council Member Skelton momentarily absent) Cathy Holdeman Assistant City Manager introduced Maryann Fountain, Sedgwick County Comcare. Maryann Fountain Sedgwick County Comcare reviewed the item. Agenda Report No. 05-0767 At its March 18, 2004 meeting the City Council authorized the issuance of a competitive Special Liquor Tax Request for Proposals (RFP) for the funding of 2005 calendar year projects. City staff issued a comprehensive RFP, which incorporated the City Council's guidelines for funding established at its December 1999 meeting, and solicited proposals in four categories: (1) alcohol and substance prevention and treatment programs; (2) detoxification programs; (3) case management programs; and (4) innovative projects. At its November 9, 2004 meeting the City Council acted on Coalition recommendations and selected seventeen (17) programs for funding in 2005. The contracts are written to be renewable contingent on funding and performance. At its May 24, 2005 Workshop, the City Council received a presentation on Special Liquor Tax issues and programs. Council Members were asked to provide policy direction on the allocation of funding to providers, including both treatment and prevention programs, funding for administrative services, the role of the Special Liquor Tax Coalition and the needs of the community. Based upon the workshop discussion, staff will continue to utilize the Special Liquor Tax Coalition to assess needs and make funding recommendations to the City Council on both prevention and treatment programs that serve various age, ethnic and gender groups. Additionally, programs will be required to successfully perform as evidenced though outcome-based measurements. Staff of COMCARE, which is the outside fund administrator, has conducted current program monitoring with all programs successfully meeting their outcomes and has reviewed first and second quarter outcome results with the Coalition. The consensus of Coalition members, based on these programs successfully meeting their specified program outcomes, is to recommend renewal of the program contracts for 2006. Wichita ACTS, Inc. has been providing community-based case management services to at-risk youth and their families since 1995. Program outcomes addressed include reducing the number of unexcused hours of school attendance, reducing the number of out of school suspensions, and increasing GPA levels. Using these criteria, 80% of the students exiting the Wichita ACTS program during 2005 have done so successfully. A Wichita ACTS, Inc. funding provider has discontinued its funding and now ACTS has a significant funding shortfall that threatens their existence. The organization has approached the City and requested funding for a twelve-week life skills program that will take place in the schools and a Parenting Wisely Program conducted in students' homes. ACTS anticipates serving 250 students per year and outcome measurements will be used to document the success of the program in meeting substance abuse prevention goals. The Council is being requested to approve 2006 contract renewals with the seventeen currently funded programs and to allocate $50,000 in 2005 Special Liquor Tax contingency funding for a 16-month contract with the Wichita Acts Program. If approved all contracts will run through December 31, 2006.

(DISTRICT V) Agenda Report No. 05-0768 MAPC Recommendations: Approved, vote (10-0). MAPD Staff Recommendations: Approved. DAB Recommendations: Not applicable. The applicant is requesting a zone change to "LC" Limited Commercial and an amendment to Protective Overlay (P-O) #11 on platted property currently zoned "GO" General Office. The subject property is located on the north side of Maple, approximately 300 feet west of 135th Street West. The objective of the zone change and P-O amendment is to allow for a 130 square foot sign for a banking facility. A previous Conditional Use on this property (CON2003-16) permitted the bank facility in GO zoning, and a previous amendment to P-O #11 (ZON2003-26) allowed for bank and office uses. Under existing GO zoning, this site is limited to 32 square feet of signage per tenant. The applicant desires a 130 square foot sign. LC zoning on this site without a P-O would permit signage up to 160 square feet. The applicant is not requesting changes to other provisions of the protective overlay. Existing provisions of P-O #11 require monument signs limited to 20 feet in height, limit light poles to 14 feet in height and restrict the amount of building lighting, requires additional landscaping, requires building materials with architectural compatibility and use of materials similar to surrounding residential uses and limits building height to 35 feet and two stories with the second story limited to 25 percent of the total building floor area. P-O #11 also limits the use of the property to: office, general; medical service; and bank or financial institution with a drive-through window. The property to the east is developed with a brick medical office building. West of the site is a single-family residential subdivision. The property to the south is zoned "LC" Limited Commercial (DP-225 Auburn Hills Commercial C.U.P.) and developed with neighborhood commercial uses, including a drive-through bank. The northeast and southeast corners of the intersection of 135th Street West and Maple are zoned "LC" with a grocery store, other retail and vacant commercial land. The surrounding area beyond the commercial uses at the intersection are zoned "SF-5" Single-family residential and being developed with single-family uses except for the Auburn Hills Golf Course to the south. The MAPC heard this request on July 14, 2005. No members of the public chose to speak at this public hearing. The action of the MAPC was to approve (10-0) the zone change request and amendment to P-O #11, subject to staff recommended conditions. The ordinance has been reviewed and approved as to form by the Law Department. Motion-- Mayans moved to concur with the findings of the MAPC and approve the first reading of the ordinance establishing the zone change to "LC" Limited Commercial and amending P-0 #11.

(DISTRICT V) Agenda Report No. 05-0769 Staff Recommendation: Approve. MAPC Recommendation: Approve (Unanimously). The applicant is requesting consideration for the vacation of the restriction of uses in the plat's text for platted Reserve E, Forest Lakes West Addition. The uses that have been set-aside for Reserve E include: drainage purposes, landscaping, irrigation systems, entry monuments, pedestrian improvements and utilities confined to easements. The applicant requests the vacation to allow the additional uses of a neighborhood pool, a parking lot and a restroom/pump house while retaining the existing allowed uses in Reserve E. There are no manholes or sewer and water lines in the reserve. There is a 150-foot KGE/Westar easement in Reserve E. The Forest Lakes West Addition was recorded with the Register of Deeds on October 16, 1997. The MAPC voted (12-0) to approve the vacation request. No one spoke in opposition to this request at the MAPC's advertised public hearing or its Subdivision Committee meeting. No written protests have been filed.

(COUNTY) Agenda Report No. 05-0770 Staff Recommendation: Approve. MAPC Recommendation: Approve (Unanimously). The applicant proposes closing this unimproved portion of West Street, located north of its intersection with 55th Street South, to control access onto the abutting properties and eliminate illegal dumping. This portion of West Street right-of-way (ROW) dead-ends on its north side against the Wichita-Valley Center Flood Control easement. There are no plans to extend West Street across the Wichita-Valley Center Flood Control easement. There are no manholes, sewer or water lines in the ROW. Westar has equipment in the ROW. Public Works uses the ROW as access to the Wichita-Valley Center Flood Control easement. If the vacated ROW is gated, access must be provided for utilities, Public Works and Fire. West Street at this location is an unimproved Waco Township road. This site is located in an unincorporated portion of Sedgwick County (District #2) and within the City of Wichita's 3-mile ring jurisdiction. This triggers the requirement that the Wichita City Council must first consider the vacation request before it proceeds to the Sedgwick County Board of County Commissioners for final action. The MAPC voted (12-0) to approve the vacation request. No one spoke in opposition to this request at the MAPC's advertised public hearing or its Subdivision Committee meeting. No written protests have been filed.

(7-5) The five Planning Commissioners that voted in opposition had concerns regarding lot sizes and drainage. A number of people spoke in opposition to the plat stating that the proposed one-acre lots do not fit in with the larger existing lot pattern. Opponents also expressed concern over existing drainage problems, and the impact water wells would have on their wells. This unplatted site, consisting of 28 one-acre lots on 34 acres, is located in the County, but within three miles of Wichita's city limits and is zoned SF-20, Single-family Residential District. Petitions, 100 percent, and a Certificate of Petitions have been submitted for future sewer and water improvements. Paving improvements will be handled by the County. County Code Enforcement has approved the use of an on-site alternative sewer system.

SUB2005-53 SUB2005-53-PLAT OF REMINGTON PLACE FOURTH ADDITION, LOCATED SOUTH OF 21ST STREET NORTH AND EAST OF WEBB ROAD. (DISTRICT II) Staff Recommendation: Approve the plat. MAPC Recommendation: Approve the plat. (12-0) This site, consisting of four lots on 1.76 acres, is a replat of a portion of Remington Place Third Addition and is located within Wichita's city limits. This site is zoned SF-5, Single-family Residential District. Municipal services are available to serve the site. A Restrictive Covenant was submitted to provide four off-street parking spaces per dwelling unit on each lot that abuts a 32-foot street.

Agenda Report No. 05-0778 Harrison Armstrong manages the skycap operation on Wichita Mid-Continent Airport as an independent contractor. Mr. Armstrong is responsible for managing the program, maintaining adequate staffing, and providing baggage handling and passenger assistance services to the general public on a daily basis. Wichita Mid-Continent Airport serves approximately 1.5 million passengers each year. Provision of skycaps to assist travelers is a service that Wichita's travelers have come to appreciate. Typically, this level of service is featured at larger airports. Although the airlines are not in a position to provide skycaps, it is recommended that the airport expend the effort and assist in providing this service to the traveling public. Cost to the WAA for the management of this program is $31,666 per year. The agreement is for a two-year period, and then month-to-month thereafter. In the event increased coverage is required, an additional $3,000 per year is provided for in this supplement, which will allow adjustment of the established rate, if the increase can be substantiated.
