RECESS The Council recessed at 11:45 a.m. to Lunch and Workshop session on Alternative Correctional Housing and reconvened in regular session at 1:10 p.m. PRESENTATION DOWNTOWN DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION PRESENTATION. Jerry Jones and Harvey Sorenson presented a plan to the council on a Downtown Initiative that would authorize the negotiation of a contract for services to be provided by the Downtown Development Corporation to the City of Wichita and a three year commitment on "some transitional funding." Jerry Jones Jerry Jones presented background information on the program which is funded by the WI/SE partnership for growth, although it is currently under the Chamber of Commerce management structure. WI/SE has been supporting downtown since 1987. Current management structure has been in place since the fourth quarter of 1992. Staff has traditionally staffed two functions: 1) A marketing and promotion function that was originally done with a downtown group called Downtown United that has now been consolidated into a membership corporation called the Downtown Wichita Association. The Downtown Wichita Association has 420 members and is involved with promotional events, holiday lights, and trolley support. All of the marketing material used to promote downtown has come from the Downtown Wichita Association. 2) Development and planning. Since 1992, the Downtown Wichita Association has been under the advisement of the Core area advisory committee which is now known as the Downtown Development Committee. Harvey Sorenson and Jerry Jones represent the Downtown Development Committee which is made up of downtown business people. City Manager Chris Cherches and Council Member Cole serve on the Downtown Development Committee in the ex Officio capacity. Since 1992, the Downtown Development Committee involvement has been: Supporting the City in a working partnership and collaboration. (First downtown arena project and the downtown convention hotel.) Managing and developing data bases and economic indicator data bases. Involvement in development location and expansion assistance. Working with City staff and the private sector. In a workshop in December of 1995, the concept of a Downtown Development Corporation was discussed. Discussion was that a Downtown Development Corporation was needed to stimulate infill development. Council seemed very interested in the concept of developing the Downtown Development Corporation and asked Jones and Sorenson to work on developing that concept. Jones and Sorenson have been working on the concept since that time. Harvey Sorenson Harvey Sorenson showed a map that indicated some of the City's more strategically located City-owned property and buildings in the downtown area (representing about 38 acres) and said it is not only important to revitalizing downtown but important to the economy of Wichita. The Downtown Development Corporation proposal would serve a staff function and be supportive of the City Council. The purpose of the organization would be to stimulate development of underutilized property and City-owned inventory in downtown Wichita. Downtown, for this purpose, was defined as an area bounded by Orme on the South, Murdock on the North, Seneca on the West and Washington on the East. The organization would be a private, non-profit, public purpose, 501 C-3 organization and would enter into a contract with the City to provide services in connection with carrying out development of downtown land. Pursuant to the mentioned contract with the City, the Downtown Development Corporation would perform services. It is anticipated that, in the first part of the contract period, the Corporation would work City staff and the City Council to develop a City approved asset management strategy and, from that strategy, having the priorities of the City Council established, work with the private sector for the development of the City properties. As part of that development activity, the following would be done: Development of a data base Site planning Market research Feasibility studies These activities do not include approving the disposition of property or approving development which is a staff function and it is not proposed to take any responsibility away from the City Council or any final decisions which would be made in the public chamber. The Downtown Development Corporation believes that the organization can provide several benefits to the City as a whole. By developing City-owned property, the property would be returned to the tax roles; the value of the other parcels adjacent would be increased; and the realtor and development community would be assisted by providing a predictable acquisition process. It is hoped that through all of these things there will be a better downtown--more employers, more employees, more housing, and more of the good things desired for downtown. None of this comes without a cost. The Council is being asked for two things: 1) negotiation of a contract with the Downtown Development Corporation; and 2) that the Downtown Development Corporation be provided with some transitional funding. Initially, approximately $100,000 for calendar year 1997, $150,000 for calendar year 1998, and $175,000 for calendar year 1999 would be needed. A three-year contract commitment would provide time for the organization to be established and provide proof that it can succeed and has value. It is anticipated that by the end of the three-year contract period the Downtown Development Corporation will have developed alternative sources of funding which would allow it to continue without the support of the City funds. A four-year budget has been estimated. For 1997, $227,000 total with the balance provided by WI/SE. Current funding is almost exclusively by WI/SE and private contributions. WI/SE funding would be expected to continue through 1997 and it is hoped WI/SE funding alternative sources for 1998 and 1999 could be found. By the end of the three-year transition, The Downtown Development Corporation hopes to develop alternative sources of funding and, through the services provided, be independent. Harvey Sorenson Harvey Sorenson, responding to a question, said it is believed that the public benefit can be substantial. The organization can assist the city in activities that would otherwise be done in the management disposition of the City's own land. The successful development of the property will likely produce a higher value of in property tax - higher value on the property roles. The value of all of downtown property should rise. Mayor Knight Mayor Knight said part of the City's contribution to WI/SE was for Core area responsibilities. In Wichita, taxpayers have committed well over a hundred million dollars to the Core area which was a result of a lot of planning and a lot of civic participation from previous and some present council members. Council Member Ferris Council Member Ferris said that originally the City contributed $250,000 to WI/SE with one of the major components being development. Now the funding is up to $300,000 (+) more being requested. A small portion is being funded and the City is supposed to come up with more which would be another increase in the WI/SE budget. There is a problem with some of the ways that the funding is being transferred to other things. Council Member Kamen Council Member Kamen said he does not want to set up another organization to do what an organization was set up to do several years before. Council Member Kamen would be wiling to listen to a specific project proposal. As soon as a Downtown Development Corporation is set up, there will be a call for the same type of organization for 21st Street, one for the East side, the West side, South side and on and on. Council Member Cole Council Member Cole said she has worked with the Downtown Development committee enough to know that they do have expertise and it is not seen that the City has the capability of looking for the kinds of development desired - no one is doing that to the degree that it needs to be done. If a tax base increase is desired, now is the time for the private sector to do its part. If council does not come up with an independent structure, it is unknown where else to look for that to happen. Mayor Knight Mayor Knight said it is a mistake to put the Core area in one district. "Clearly, it has a distinctive quality to it that is applicable not only to every citizen in this community but everyone in the region. It sets the tone and quality of our collective personality and a whole lot of other things that certainly go beyond district lines. Core area is a subject that everyone on the council is very familiar with. When you talk about the WI/SE reorganization, that is not a compelling argument. The City Council allocates significant resources for economic development - part of that is to WI/SE, part of it goes to the Convention and Visitors Bureau, and it goes to other places. We have got to get a handle on it and we have got to have a certainty the way we allocate that money again. There will be no decisions today. You have a tremendous product to work with . You have a council that has expressed in many ways the importance of the core area. We appreciate your work." CONSENT AGENDA Knight moved that the Consent Agenda, except Item 16, be approved in accordance with the recommended action shown thereon. Motion carried 6 to 0.

Agenda Report No. 96-607 The proposed merger between the Union Pacific and Southern Pacific Railroads has the potential for significant adverse impacts on the City of Wichita and Sedgwick County. In April, the City contracted with Steven J. Kalish, an attorney in Washington, D. C. who specializes in legal work before the federal regulatory agencies which will consider the merits of the proposed merger. This was a City Manager contract. At the same time Sedgwick County also retained Mr. Kalish and it was agreed that he would represent the interests of the City and Sedgwick County and bill each for one-half of his fees. Since being retained, Mr. Kalish has done significant work before the Surface Transportation Board on behalf of the City and Sedgwick County. Current billings have exhausted the authority under the City Manager contract and it is anticipated that significant additional fees will be incurred in his continuing work before the STB and in connection with the environmental evaluation that will be done over the next 18 months. In addition, recent news that the Burlington Northern might increase train traffic will require additional legal work by Mr. Kalish. It is anticipated that total fees to be paid by the City (one-half of Kalish's fees) will exceed $35,000. These fees will be paid from the tort liability fund.

Funds were budgeted from the HOME Program for this project. Staff budgeting provides for $500,000 from FY 1994 (not 1995) and 1996 in the amount of $250,000 per year. The action that approved funding from FY 1995 and 1996 was a mistake that can be corrected by revising that action to reflect funding from FY 1994 and 1996. If recommended change is not made, FY 1995 will be over budget by $225,000 and FY 1994 will be under budget a like amount.

The Neighborhood Court primarily addresses nuisance, environmental, traffic, and non-DUI drug and alcohol cases with the purpose of providing a visible presence in the community and working in the neighborhoods. The Neighborhood Municipal Court was established by Charter Ordinance No. 159 in April, 1995. Charter Ordinance No. 159 provides that the judge of the Neighborhood Municipal Court shall have the jurisdiction, power, and authority and serve for the term as shall be provided by ordinance of the City. The companion simple ordinance, Section 1.04.150, provides that the term of the judge of the Neighborhood Municipal Court shall expire July 31, 1996, or the date of expiration of funding for the position under the comprehensive communities program, whichever comes first. The simple ordinance further provides that the governing body in its discretion may continue the position for such term as may be provided by ordinance. The proposed amendment to the simple ordinance provides for the term of the judge of the Neighborhood Municipal Court to be extended to December 31, 1997. The term extension is proposed to provide opportunity for the City Council to consider and include the continuation of the Neighborhood Municipal Court as part of the budget deliberations for the Proposed 1997/1998 Budget. The proposed budget provides funding for the Neighborhood Municipal Court. The extension of the judge's term will also allow sufficient time for the pending issues that affect the Neighborhood Municipal Court in the Municipal Court Task Force Report to be reviewed and presented to the City Council for resolution (court administration, rules, judge selection procedures, etc.) Funding for the judge position, as well as prosecution and court staff positions, can continue under the Comprehensive Communities Program grant. Judicious use of the grant funds by the City has permitted the program to operate longer with grant funds than originally projected. It is anticipated that grant funding will be available through December, 1996. A request for extension of the grant funding has been submitted to the Bureau Of Justice Assistance.
