David Warren Director of Water and Sewer reviewed the Item. Agenda Report No. 03-0526A. On October 3, 2000, the Council approved, and instructed staff to begin implementation of, the Concept Design Plan for the Integrated Local Water Supply (ILWS) Plan. On March 4, 2003, the Council authorized a project to prepare a Hydrobiological Monitoring Plan to evaluate potential environmental impacts of the projects constructed as part of the ILWS Plan. On May 20, 2003, the Council deferred this item two weeks to request more information on the specific tasks included in the preparation of the Plan. The projects that will be completed as part of the ILWS Plan do not require an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS), however the Council authorized an EIS in order to provide assurances to interested parties that the City was committed to doing the water supply projects in a manner that causes little or no environmental damage. The EIS predicts that the environment will improve as a result of the projects in the ILWS Plan, mostly because of an increase in "base flow" in the Little Arkansas River which will occur because after the Equus Beds aquifer has been recharged it will discharge more water into the river. However, no one has ever attempted to utilize only excess flows in a river as a water source, or has attempted to use wells to capture only excess flows from a river, so there is an element of doubt about the actual impacts on the river. As a result of their review of the Draft EIS, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the Kansas Dept. of Wildlife and Parks have recommended that the City establish a Hydrobiological Monitoring (HBM) Plan to measure and monitor any environmental changes that may occur as a result of the projects included in ILWS Plan. This project will contract for the professional services to needed to prepare the HBM Plan. The plan will be developed in cooperation with the City, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks. The objectives of the plan will be to: · Document the existing environmental conditions in the Little Arkansas and Arkansas Rivers. · Detect if changes in the existing environmental conditions occur. · Determine if any detected environmental changes are caused by the ILWS Plan or other unrelated causes. · Provide a scientifically defensible means to evaluate whether the ILWS Plan is causing or significantly contributing to the observed environmental changes. · Recommend management actions or operations changes to mitigate adverse or enhance beneficial environmental impacts if they occur or are expected to occur. The HBM Plan will include sampling plans and protocols for monitoring hydrology, water quality, and flora and fauna communities and species habitat in the portions of the rivers or other areas that could be impacted by the facilities and activities included in the ILWS Plan. These activities are beyond the scope of sampling activities currently performed the City or other entities. After the HBM Plan is completed, the City will have to contract for the services necessary to implement the sampling and monitoring activities identified in the HBM Plan. A Request for Proposals was sent to 62 vendors and advertised using e-procurement. The City received only one proposal in response to the Request for Proposals, from Burns and McDonnell. Staff has reviewed the proposal from Burns & McDonnell, and their proposal meets all of the qualifications and standards established in the Request for Proposals, and recommends that Burns and McDonnell be selected to perform this service. This project will only prepare the Hydrobiological Plan, and a subsequent project will be initiated to actually conduct the hydrobiological sampling and analysis necessary to implement the plan. The Contract with Burns & McDonnell will not exceed $86,700. Funding for this effort is included in the CIP in W-549, which has $7,620,000 allocated in 2003. David Warren Director of Water and Sewer, responding to questions, committed that the plan will be implemented with existing Staff. Mayor Mayans Mayor Mayans inquired whether anyone wished to be heard and no one appeared. Motion -- Mayans moved that the Contract be approved and the necessary signatures be authorized. Motion -- carried carried 7 to 0. NEW BUSINESS 26TH ST. PAVING PETITION TO PAVE 26TH STREET NORTH, WEST OF MADISON. (District I) Neil Cable City Engineer reviewed the Item. Agenda Report No. 03-0560. The Petition has been signed by the developer of Power CDC 3rd Addition, contract buyer of the property. The City of Wichita is the current owner of the property. The paving of 26th Street North, west of Madison is a platting requirement. The improvement district consists of Power CDC 3rd Addition, residential property owned by the City, and several non-City owned homes. Power CDC 3rd Addition represents 65.71% of the improvement district area. The total City owned properties represents 90.4% of the improvement district area. District I Advisory Board sponsored a May 5, 2003, neighborhood hearing on the project. The Board recommended approval of the project with the stipulation that the City Council considers allocating funds to pay the assessments to the non-City owned properties. Power CDC, Inc. is one of the City's designated non-profit Community Housing Development Organizations. It will be building 30 new homes in Power CDC 3rd Addition. 26th Street North is the south boundary of the addition. State Statutory guidelines provide that district boundaries include all properties within 1/2 block of the street to be paved. This results in seven non-City owned properties being included in the 26th Street improvement district for a side street assessment. The lots in Power CDC 3rd Addition are to be assessed for both front and side streets. The estimated project cost is $355,000, with $312,000 assessed to Power CDC 3rd Addition, $9,600 assessed to existing City owned homes, and $3,400 assessed to non-City owned properties. In addition, $30,000 is to be paid by the City for intersection pavement. The funding source for the intersection construction is General Obligation Bonds. The assessments to existing City owned homes will be paid by Housing Services Department funds. Funding options include: 1. Assess the project in accordance with the Petition submitted by the developer of Power CDC 3rd Addition. 2. Assess the entire cost to Power CDC Third Addition. 3. Use General Obligation Bond funding to pay the assessments to properties outside Power CDC Third Addition. State Statutes provide that a Petition is valid if signed by a majority of resident property owners or owners of the majority of the property in the improvement district. Mayor Mayans Mayor Mayans inquired whether anyone wished to be heard and no one appeared. Council Member Brewer Council Member Brewer said there has been some concern about how residents in the area could pay the assessments; however, most of these residents will qualify for the Deferral Program. Motion -- Brewer moved that funding option No.1 be selected; the Resolution be adopted; and the necessary -- carried signatures be authorized. Motion carried 7 to 0. RESOLUTION NO. 03-261 Resolution of findings of advisability and Resolution authorizing improving 26th Street North from the west line of Lot 1, Block 1, Power CDC Third Addition, to and including the intersection of 26th Street North and Madison Avenue; the west half of Madison Avenue, from 26th Street North to the north line of Lot 14, Block 1, Power CDC Third Addition; Piatt Circle, from the north line of 26th Street North to and including the cul-de-sac; and a sidewalk on one side of 26th Street North, from the west line of Lot 1, Block 1, Power CDC Third Addition to Madison Avenue, (north of 26th Street North, west of Grove) 472-83774, in the City of Wichita, Kansas, pursuant to findings of advisability made by the Governing Body of the City of Wichita, Kansas, presented. Brewer moved that the Resolution be adopted. Motion carried 7 to 0. Yeas: Brewer, Fearey, Gray, Lambke, Martz, Schlapp, Mayans. IRB - YMCA REDEMPTION OF RECREATIONAL FACILITIES REVENUE BONDS - YMCA. (Districts I & IV) Allen Bell Financial Projects Director reviewed the Item. Agenda Report No. 03-0561. On August 11, 1998 the City Council approved the issuance of Recreational Facilities Revenue Bonds in an amount not-to-exceed $9 million to the Wichita YMCA. The bond proceeds were used to construct and equip a new YMCA South Branch facility and renovate Camp Hyde. The YMCA is requesting City Council to approve an early call of a portion of the bonds. Section 302 of the Bond Indenture provides that the Issuer may elect to redeem Bonds subject to optional redemption upon receipt of a written request of the Tenant. The Issuer shall at least 45 days prior to the redemption date give written notice to the Trustee directing the Trustee to call the Bonds. Because of the proximity of the August 1 call date, the Tenant gave notice on May 12, 2003, and has requested the City to ratify it. The City received notice from the Tenant of a request to call a portion of the bonds and of the company's intention to redeem $750,000 on August 1, 2003. Notice has been given to the bondholders. There is no financial impact to the City resulting from the proposed redemption. The Letter of Credit reimbursement agreement with Bank of America will be the direct source of funds for the redemption. The City will continue to receive its annual administrative service fee as provided for under the Bond Documents.

David Pendergraft Fireworks Task Force Chair reviewed the Item. Agenda Report No. 03-0562. On March 4, 2003, the City Council appointed a Fireworks Task Force, comprised of representatives from area District Advisory Boards to develop recommendations on the sale and use of fireworks within the City of Wichita. The Task Force held eight (8) meetings - each having a different and specific topic for discussion and review. Members discussed issues such as: charitable sales, public safety, enforcement challenges, community education, and community acceptance. In addition to the public hearing segment of each meeting, the Task Force conducted a separate public hearing on May 6, 2003. Interested citizens and representatives of community organizations, together with professional public safety staff, were given an opportunity to voice their opinions/views about the proposed recommendations of the Task Force and Fireworks Policy being considered. The work of the Task Force involved considerable research relative to fireworks policies in other cities, presentations from experts relative to enforcement issues, information from various organizations dependent upon firework sales for fund raising, and public input. Listed below are the recommendations of the Task Force: · Amend the current ordinance to reflect current recommendation · Maintain the use of safe and sane fireworks in Wichita. (6x6 feet. up and out) · Impose a 2300(11 p.m.) hour fireworks curfew for sale and shooting of fireworks · Minimum of $300 fine for illegal fireworks use · More efficient way of issuing citations · Stricter enforcement · Initiation of a pre-Fourth of July media information blitz · Policy for tent permits - should be in accordance to the City's ordinance (effective from 2004) In addition to its report, the Task Force considered recommending to the City Council forming a new Task Force in 2004-2005 to review how the (above) recommendations are satisfied and any new policies that might be considered. Continuance and improvement of past efforts to enforce the existing laws will require allocation of additional personnel, either diverting resources from other patrol activities or requiring overtime in order to maintain patrol service levels. Even with additional public safety personnel, enforcement of the after hour and illegal fireworks discharges will be a challenge to effective enforcement without community support. To enforce the recommendations of the Fireworks Task Force will require strict enforcement utilizing an aggressive enforcement approach by Police and Fire personnel during the week surrounding July Fourth. The cost for additional enforcement is estimated to cost approximately $17,000 (assuming 16 additional Police Officers and Fire personnel on the streets during designated shifts). Mayor Mayans Mayor Mayans stated that celebration of protection of Country and freedom is very important. For patriotic reasons, the Mayor said he believed the City could put up with some of the inconveniences for celebration. The main problem - what is purchased outside the City limits - is not addressed. Council Member Brewer Council Member said the City might look at allowing all resources available enforce the existing laws. Also, the City might look at making fireworks the responsibility of the parent, not the child. Council Member Lambke Council Member Lambke spoke in favor of approving the recommendations for enforcement the upcoming July 4th. It is illegal to use fireworks any place in the County - except within incorporated areas. Council Member Martz Council Member Martz said his primary concern was enforcement of the curfew. Simplifying the method of giving citations is good. Additional officers are a concern because of budget constraints. Council Member Martz said he would be more in favor of using current shift officers and making issuance of citations easier. Council Member Schlapp Council Member Schlapp expressed concern regarding the already busy July 4th and the additional duties required to enforce a curfew after 11:00 p.m. The City needs to look at illegal fireworks being brought into the City. An education blitz is also a great idea. Council Member Gray Council Member Gray said speed violation can receive a much lower fine and do much greater damage than illegal fireworks. The current fine should be retained until there is a greater need for an increase in the future. The citation forms should be easier to use. Increasing the fine to $300 would only cause increased danger for enforcement officers. Council Member Fearey Council Member Fearey said there have been many telephone calls to the police, and citizens have said they would testify in court; however, citations were not written. David Pendergraft David Pendergraft, responding to questions, said the curfew would help avoid certain hours of fireworks discharges. Imposing restrictions goes with education. An education program would let the residents know the restrictions. An 11:00 p.m. curfew would allow enforcement officers know that any fireworks discharged were illegal. Increased fines get additional attention. It is believed that additional duties for the officers will decrease with each passing July 4th. Mayor Mayans Mayor Mayans inquired whether anyone wished to be heard. Larry Garcia Fire Chief said the current Ordinance prohibits the use of fireworks in the City. Exemptions have been made to allow certain types to be legal so non-profit organizations can take advantage of fireworks sales in the City. If the Council wanted to fully impose the current Ordinances - all fireworks would be banned on July 4th. The Fire Chief encouraged the City Council to ride with enforcement officers this coming July 4th. A three-year program was instigated by the Police and Fire Departments with a focus on public education and stepped-up enforcement efforts. Police officers have a greater barrier to issuing citations due to the long citation process. Terry Shackelford Larry Shackelford said each of the revolutions have ended in rockets. It is a part of tradition to celebrate independence with fireworks. When the River Festival closes, fireworks are displayed. Restrictions are based on the whims of a few and not the needs of many. Bob Schreck Bob Schreck said a $50 ticket is "no big deal," but a higher fine gets attention. Motion -- Mayans moved that the recommendations be returned to the Task Force to be reworked. Subst. Motion -- Lambke moved that the recommendations be approved and Staff be directed to implement the -- failed recommendations. Substitute motion failed 4-3. Nays: Gray, Mayans, Schlapp, Martz. -- carried Motion carried 4-3. Nays: Lambke, Fearey, Brewer. PHONE PROGRAM CELLULAR TELEPHONE ALLOWANCE PROGRAM. Ray Trail Director of Finance reviewed the Item. Agenda Report No. 03-0563. The City has a long-standing practice of providing cellular phones to authorized employees where telecommunications away from office or work site is necessary for employee safety/security, quick response for customer services, reduced travel to and from respective work areas, better management of time, and public safety. Once a cellular phone is authorized and budgeted, each department is responsible for implementing and managing cellular phone use from the multiple-approved carriers. At this time, 151 cellular phones are in use. The average monthly cost is $53.22. The City's Policy on cellular telephones (Employee Cellular Telephone Policy) would be subject to change if an allowance program is implemented. The Mayor has requested a review and consideration of replacing the use of City cellular telephones with an allowance program. After an examination of the listing of phones, their designated use and costs, it appears feasible to consider changing the current policy of issuing City-owned cellular phones to providing an allowance to those users warranting a cell telephone. Reviewing the inventory of current users and their required duties/usage, along with the differing service contract charges, a proposed tiered-allowance approach tailored to two or three levels of users may be the most feasible approach toward implementing an allowance program. For example, the following tiers reflect how such a program could be established: 1. Light Local Users - Employees requiring a cellular phone for limited use primarily because: A. Their work can take them to dangerous areas during all times of day/night; and B. Their work requires they be accessible after hours for callback duties; or C. They spend much of their working shift out of their offices and need to be accessible during office hours (when away) to respond to assistance-type calls, callbacks, changing work locations, and other situations where work flexibility is important. Examples: Includes some Police staff, child care licensure and inspection staff, information technology service staff, career development staff, environmental inspectors, etc. For this group, a typical cellular telephone plan offering monthly 250 peak minutes and 1,000 off-peak minutes of airtime in Wichita (and large portions of Kansas) has a base rate of $35.00. 2. Heavy Local Users - primarily field assigned personnel spending little time in an office or work station who: A. Frequently need to reach City Hall-based staff or work supervisors on the telephone; and B. Frequently need to reach contractors and other field-based personnel to carry out their responsibilities. Examples: Includes some Police staff, field engineers and inspectors, supervisory personnel in Water, Parks, and Public Works. For this group, a typical plan offering 3,000 minutes monthly has a base rate $50. 3. Heavy Local/Roaming Users - primarily senior/departmental management staff frequently away from their offices on call 24-hours/day, City Council members who need accessibility, and Intergovernmental Relations and Public Information staff who may often travel outside of Wichita. Examples: Includes designated senior City management staff, Mayor and Council Members, Department Heads, and such positions as the Intergovernmental Relations, Public Information staff, facilities management, etc. For this group, a plan offering 600 (total) minutes monthly, any time and anywhere, has a typical base rate of $75. Other Options - There are a number of options available for consideration with cell phone uses - be it from City-provided cellular phones or through an allowance program. Some of these options are listed. a) Using the lowest base tier service plan and allow exceptions to those employees who illustrate the need for additional usage in their working assignments and/or minimizing such use by use of land-line calls wherever possible. b) Requiring employees to reimburse the City for all private calls. (This option presents an administrative expense and problems with proper enforcement); c) Investigate a "pooled airtime agreement" or purchasing a block of minutes to accommodate differences in usage patterns to avoid additional costs that might be incurred by heavier cell users who exceed their contract time; d) Allow designated personnel to use their own personal cell phones and reimburse them for work-related calls. Likewise, it may be possible that if the City, along with the County and Schools, could join together to negotiate cellular phone service contracts, additional savings or cost reductions may result to all jurisdictions. The above three-tiered allowance program offers flexibility to meet the current uses/needs -with a few exceptions - and could be implemented based on a competitive monthly service rate - using the current rates of $35/$50/$75 - as examples of how a tiered program could be initiated. Implementation: If an allowance program is implemented, the initial steps would be to review the current uses and users of assigned cellular telephones to ascertain if the designated position requires a cell phone to effectively carry out the employee's responsibilities, the appropriate tier rate that best fits the requirements and needs of the position. It is possible that some users may not fit precisely within these categories and may experience higher cellular telephone usage at points-in-time, i.e. seasonal work, assignments out of town (i.e. Intergovernmental Relations, etc.). In those instances, the individual could submit for reimbursement of extraordinary costs on a case-by-case basis with proper supporting documentation. Likewise, a small number of City cellular telephones are shared among a number of employee users/shifts and may be retained, but limited to local base service only. Implementation of the allowance program would have to be phased-in until all current cellular telephone contracts expire to avoid any penalties. Based on initial evaluations of usage, it is projected that of the current 151 authorized cellular phones, the breakdown of users generally would be as follows: Allowance # Users $35/mo 81 $50/mo 50 $75/mo 20 If all of the current users were offered the cell telephone allowance, assuming of course, that there will be no reductions, the resulting average monthly cost across all users would be $45.26. Using this number of users and tier cost assignments, this would produce an average savings of $7.96, or $14,414.64 (minimal) annually for all currently authorized cellular telephones (spread across all funds within the budget). Like any allowance, the cellular telephone allowance would subject the employee to income taxation (employees would be eligible to deduct any business expenses if they itemize on their tax return). During this budget session, cell phones are being evaluated to ascertain the current need by users. Undoubtedly, there will be a reduction in the number of cellular phone uses with the reductions in operating and overhead costs. Even with the three-tied program, anticipated savings will occur because of these budget reduction scenarios. Ray Trail Director of Finance, answering questions, said the City currently has a moratorium regarding cell phones. The City also expects to see some decline in the overall number of cell phones. A possible approach would be discussion with County and School District officials regarding joint RFPs. The City is also look at multiple or single contracts. There are cell phones that are prepaid, some with calling cards and prepaid minutes, and some that provide local service only. Every user will be evaluated for the kind of service needed. If this matter is to come back to the City Council before a Program is to be implemented, it might be best to answer questions as the matter proceeds through the budget process, and after dialogue with the County and School District. The final recommendations should be ready by the first to middle part of August. Discussion Discussion was had with consensus that Staff should do additional research and study in to available options, and discussions should be held with the County and U.S.D. 259. Mayor Mayans Mayor Mayans inquired whether anyone wished to be heard. Paul Tobia Paul Tobia asked whether there would be savings with the proposed program. Mayor Mayans Mayor Mayans explained the expected minimum savings of $14,000 per year. Bill Blasey Bill Blasey said a look should be taken at available options including wireless products. Motion -- Mayans moved that the cellular telephone concept be approved; and Staff be instructed to do additional research and study regarding available options, and have discussions with Sedgwick County and U.S.D. -- carried 259; and the recommendations be returned to the City Council. Motion carried 7 to 0. CITYARTS CHANGE ORDER FOR CITYARTS BUILDING. Ray Trail Director of Finance reviewed the Item. Agenda Report No. 03-0564. On March 4, 2003, the City Council approved the relocation of the CityArts facility to Old Town. As the CityArts project has proceeded to design and review by the Design Council, an opportunity has been identified to expand the new facility to add a roof top space above the three story building as a venue for large group gatherings. This special event area would be an outdoor space with a covering canopy that would allow for more rental activities and use-flexibility in addition to having a unique view of Old Town and the Plaza area. The estimated cost of the proposed CityArts roof top event space and signage is $397,860. Rental income on the roof top space would enhance the CityArts operating revenues increasing the facility's financial self-reliance in future years (Note: few park and recreation facilities generate revenue totally offsetting operating expenses; the additional revenue generating space will serve to reduce future operating tax subsidies). Finance staff has been developing prospects for debt re-financings on several outstanding bond issues. It is projected that these re-financings will provide a savings to the capital program in an amount sufficient to cover the cost of the infrastructure enhancements offered in connection with the recent bond package for an economic development project (approximately $300,000), the cost of this change order, with a substantial residual that can be incorporated into future Capital Improvement Program financing on other projects as well. Ray Trail Director of Finance explained that an amount not-to-exceed $110,000 would allow work to be completed to preserve the option for the remainder of the work to be completed at a later date. This change was initiated by the City - not the developers. The dollar amount proposed is within the amount it should be. The City has unit prices, based on the original bid, that gives Staff the amounts that should be allowed on change orders. Mayor Mayans Mayor Mayans inquired whether anyone wished to be heard and no one appeared. Motion -- Fearey moved that a change order be approved for the footings and work to allow for future expansion in an amount not to exceed $110,000; and that Staff be encouraged to get the amount as close as possible to $96,000; the necessary signatures be authorized; and the Resolution be adopted. Motion -- carried carried 5 to 2. Lambke, Martz - No. RESOLUTION NO. 03-263 A Resolution authorizing expanding the new facility to add a roof top space above the three story building as a venue for large group gatherings, presented. Fearey moved that the Resolution be adopted. Motion carried 7 to 0. Yeas: Brewer, Fearey, Gray, Lambke, Martz, Schlapp, Mayan.
