AWARDS AND PRESENTATIONS YOUTH SERVICE Wichita's Promise – Youth Community Service Awards were presented. PUBLIC AGENDA Comments by Ronald Gessl. Ronald Gessl Ronald Gessl, Dental Dental Plan of Kansas, asked for support for fluoridating the City’s water supply. Topeka, Kansas City, Lawrence, Salina, Pittsburgh, and other Kansas communities have fluoridated water. Wichita is the fourth largest City in the United States without fluoridation. Council Member Pisciotte Council Member Pisciotte said this matter is on the public agenda because of a strategic agenda to increase the number of fluoridation cities throughout the United States, not because of a ground-swell driven from other kinds of interest in fluoridation. The City Council receives a lot of information and the information is not one-sided. For every person in favor of fluoridation, there is another person against fluoridation. Council Member Pisciotte said the concern is how to provide dental health care to those who cannot afford care. Mr. Gessl Mr. Gessl said fluoridation before the fact lowers the need for dental care. Council Member Pisciotte Council Member Pisciotte stated that for every study showing positive elements of fluoridation, there is another study showing various kinds of problems. Research shows that at least fifty communities have rejected fluoridation by referendum or have rejected fluoridation after having had it in the water system. There are also concerns that only a small portion of the water was actually physically consumed. Council Member Pisciotte also pointed out a warning with regard to fluoride contents on a toothpaste label. There is a dilemma in water fluoridation. Is there an alternative, from partnership, to bring about making fluoridation treatment for citizens possible without putting fluoride in the water? Council Member Cole Council Member Cole said the City Council should hold public hearings and provide the opportunity for opinions to be voiced. Mayor Knight Mayor Knight stated that similar issues have had a history of dividing and water fluoridation is one of those. This issue’s time has come and gone. Today’s research makes it very difficult to pass a referendum to medicate the water. Nothing good can come of this. If the Board of Health wants to make a difference, it can make sure every child is immunized; many children are not even immunized. To place water fluoridation above immunization is a stretch.

Don Barry President of the Library Board of Directors reviewed the Item. Agenda Report No. 00-0124. On November 2, 1999, the City Council approved submission of two grant proposals to the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation for technology grants for six of the twelve libraries and for the addition of a computer training facility to be established at the Central Library. The Library has been advised that both grants have been awarded in a total of $98,950. The Wichita Public Library has offered public Internet access since February of 1997. This access is currently available only from the Central Library and Marina Lakes, Maya Angelou Northeast, Rockwell, Seneca and Westlink branch libraries. Although the library’s technology plan has a goal of extending the access into the remaining six facilities, the library has lacked the resources to do so. Grant KS-98-67202-01-A, valued at $63,300, would add public use computers with Internet access and word processing, spreadsheet, database and publishing software to the Aley, Linwood, Minisa and Planeview branches and would add additional workstations to the Central and Maya Angelou Northeast libraries. Grant KS-98-67202-01-B would fund a ten-seat computer training room at the Central Library giving the library system the ability to provide hands-on training in use of the library catalog, the Internet, and a variety of other information tools and resources. Arrangements have been made to partner with Communities in Schools and the Wichita Area Technical College to offer CISCO academies through the Library. When not in use for training, all of the lab workstations also will be available for public use. The Library relies heavily on grants and special funding for the addition and maintenance of information technology. The value of the equipment and software funded through this grant application is $98,950. The City will be responsible for infrastructure costs related to the expansion of service, including remodeling of the Central Library training room workspace and adding computer cabling and electrical capacity in each of the six affected facilities, in order to operate the equipment. Estimated costs are $91,682 for the computer laboratory project and $16,250 for the branch library project. Additional furniture for the workstations will also be required. The Library has developed a plan that identifies a variety of potential partners to help underwrite these expenses. The Koch foundation will enhance the grant by providing funding, through Communities in Schools, for twenty to twenty-five students from disadvantaged backgrounds. Mayor Knight Mayor Knight inquired whether anyone wished to be heard and no one appeared. Motion -- Knight moved that receipt of the grant funds be approved and the necessary signatures be authorized. Motion -- carried 7 to 0. ENV. PROTECTION ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION RESOLUTION. Chris Cherches City Manager reviewed the Item. Agenda Report No. 00-0125. The City of Wichita has long been involved in environmental concerns that impact, or have the potential to impact, the health and economic viability of the City and the quality of life of its citizens. Examples include initiatives such as the Gilbert-Mosley and North Industrial Corridor groundwater remediation projects, encouragement of Brownfields redevelopment, protection of drinking water resources from potential degradation from confined livestock feeding operations, along with other polluting activities. The proposed Resolution represents a strategy for monitoring potential threats to the City’s environmental resources, and a plan for addressing concerns identified. The intent is to consciously establish a “proactive position,” with emphasis on the long-term impacts of existing and proposed activities within and adjacent to the City. Activities identified in the Resolution utilize current City personnel, its management and governing body resources. The Resolution also anticipates partnerships involving Sedgwick County, other cities and local government entities, the City Council, and the local legislative delegation. If approved, it would be the intent of Staff that the REAP membership be asked to develop similar policies in cooperation with adjacent communities’ plans. Benefits of an aggressive stance toward environmental protection include preservation of the local tax base, provision of an environmental-attractive location for new business, and maintenance of a desirable community for current and prospective residents. Actions identified will be accomplished within current budgetary limits. The central financial consideration stems from the long-term economic value in preserving local environmental resources and maintaining the quality of life within Wichita and its environs. Jack Brown Environmental Health Director reviewed provisions of the Resolution. Mayor Knight Mayor Knight inquired whether anyone wished to be heard and no one appeared. Motion --carried Martz moved that the Resolution be adopted. Motion carried 7 to 0. RESOLUTION NO.

Ray Trail Director of Finance reviewed the Item. Agenda Report No. 00-0126. In October 1999, the City Council approved enhancements to benefits for employees. Benefit enhancements were enacted to position the City so as to attract and retain a high quality workforce, as well as promote greater equity in benefit levels among employee groups. The benefit enhancements took effect in January 2000. The package of pension enhancements for civilian employees included a two percent (2%, non-compounded) post- retirement adjustment (PRA) to begin following thirty-six (36) months of retirement for Plan 2 members. The Wichita Employees’ Retirement Board submitted a proposal to Plan 2 and Plan 3 participants regarding the implementation of the PRA following twelve (12) months of retirement. The Board’s actuary determined that a six-tenths of one percent (0.6%) increase in employee contribution was necessary to pay for the increased benefit. The result would be a four and seven-tenths percent (4.7%) employee contribution. Currently, Plan 2 and Plan 3 participants contribute four and one-tenth percent (4.1%) of salary. The ordinance-governing Plan 3 provides for a matching employer contribution. Therefore, an increase in the employee contribution would also increase the employer matching contribution. This percentage is included in the City’s total contribution of 6.2% of payroll for WER. A total of 869 ballots, 54.3% of the total, were returned. Sixty-two percent (62%) voted yes to implement the PRA earlier and increase employee contributions and thirty-eight percent (38%) voted no. The Wichita Employees’ Retirement Board voted at its January 16, 2000 meeting that ordinance revisions to implement the revised PRA and contribution increase be placed on the City Council agenda. The additional six-tenths of one percent (0.6%) employee contribution is sufficient to pay for the additional benefit as determined by the actuary. No additional employer contribution is required. Mayor Knight Mayor Knight inquired whether anyone wished to be heard and no one appeared. Motion -- carried Knight moved that the Ordinance be placed on first reading. Motion carried 7 to 0. ORDINANCE An Ordinance amending Sections 2.28.245, 2.28,280 and 2.28,530 of the Code of the City of Wichita, Kansas, pertaining to the incorporation of revisions to the Wichita Employees’ Retirement System, introduced and under the rules laid over. QUARTERLY REPORT QUARTERLY FINANCIAL REPORT FOR THE PERIOD ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1999. Mayor Knight Mayor Knight said it appears the City is still in good shape; however, there are things occurring that give pause for concern. Mayor Knight said it appears that there is some concern over tax exempt products purchased over the Internet. Ray Trail Director of Finance said there was a six percent shortage in the local sales tax stream. While there is no local or state specific data, national trends show six percent of retail sales are occurring over the Internet. The total shortfall is actually $2.4 million for the entire budget year. Mayor Knight Mayor Knight said Internet taxation is not a new proposed tax; rather, the position is that everyone should be treated equally. Council Member Cole Council Member Cole said the Internet tax issue is of concern to localities across the nation.

Performance Contracting consists of a contractual agreement between a building owner and a contractor that generally provides building improvements with no cost to the owner. Most of the savings will be produced by changes such as equipment replacement or modification, lighting upgrades and adjustments in operating procedures that result in energy savings. The savings that result from the reduced use of energy is then shared by the contractor and the owner, resulting in not only energy savings but reduced expenditures by the owner. Buildings that are evaluated by the Performance Contractor which show potential for a savings will be included in the program. Buildings that are evaluated but do not show a potential for savings will not be included. The City of Wichita invited thirteen firms to respond to a Request For Qualifications (RFQ). Of the five firms who responded, three were asked to respond to a Request For Proposal (RFP). These three firms were invited to survey and analyze City Hall to evaluate the candidates’ approach to Performance Contracting. The three firms were then interviewed. As a result of the City Hall analysis and interviews, the Staff Screening Committee recommended Control Systems International (CSI) as best suited to meet the needs of the City. Many of the buildings to be evaluated in the Performance Contract already have energy savings measures in place. However, with new technology available some of the measures in place are now obsolete. Additionally, CSI demonstrated the ability to find energy savings measures that had not been considered previously. Benefits that may be realized from Performance Contracting include not only energy savings, but also could provide better environmental control, better lighting, and more reliable equipment. Additionally, the Performance Contractor will monitor the energy usage throughout the contract period and evaluate the usage compared with the weather conditions. If they note a discrepancy they will investigate with the goal of quickly resolving any situation that may be wasting energy. The Performance Contract will be set up in a manner that CSI will guarantee the City a minimum savings. Should the savings fall short of the guarantee, CSI will make-up the difference. Should savings exceed the guaranteed amount, the City will enjoy all of this excess savings. The savings would continue to be guaranteed throughout the contract period, which could last up to ten years. The total expenses resulting from the Performance Contract and the remaining utility costs will be less than is currently being spent on utilities. Financing for each individual project can be undertaken through a financial institution, directly as a capital project, a Savings Incentive funded project, or part of other authorized budgetary sources. Each project proposed will be brought back to City Council for review and approval. Motion -- Knight moved that the project be approved and the necessary signatures be authorized.

The City has periodic occasions to utilize outside marketing assistance in the preparation of specialty promotions or presentations. This is particularly the case when special expertise, or production equipment/techniques are required (e.g., development of videos, etc.). As an example, Wichita and Sedgwick County, along with other larger urban centers in Kansas will be competing for $350 million in special highway enhancement funds. A State committee evaluating proposed urban highway projects based on economic impact is conducting a hearing in Emporia on February 3, 2000. A City-County-Chamber-University contingent will be attending to make an extensive presentation. The use of outside expertise to produce the extensive presentation is necessary within the short timeframe before this presentation. An initial task is the marketing assistance on the highway proposals. The proposed agreement then provides marketing support services to the City to address specific needs and initiatives, as necessary to augment internal marketing resources. Services are directed only upon written authorization by the City and paid on a time and material basis. To provide the marketing assistance, proposals were solicited for marketing assistance. After reviewing competitive proposals, the Greteman Group was chosen to provide this assistance. The services under this agreement are not to exceed $35,000 during the year. Costs will be paid from Local Sales Tax funds for the highway proposal marketing services; City funding for other projects will be identified on a case- by-case basis.

(District II) Agenda Report No. 00-0133. The Wichita Barbarians Rugby Club, Inc. proposes to donate and install permanent field lighting at Harrison Park. The club purchased previously used lights and new poles at a cost of $4,000.00. In addition, the club will pay for installation of the lights and have received a bid from Sims Electric Service, Inc. for $5,000.00. In October, 1993, the Department of Park and Recreation entered into a “Non-Exclusive Use Agreement” with the Wichita Rugby Club for use of the rugby field at Harrison Park located at 1300 S. Webb Road. Since that time, this public/private partnership has been very successful. The rugby club has invested considerable resources in field maintenance such as seeding, mowing, irrigation, aerification, fertilization and installation of goal posts at a cost of approximately $12,000.00. The club utilizes the field weekly from September through November and when the club is not using the field, it is available for soccer, football and other activities. Park staff contacted businesses and residents located near the field (since there were no neighborhood associations in the area) and reviewed the proposal. There were no objections. In addition, CPO East Council for District II voted unanimously to recommend approval of the proposal. Approval of this proposal will necessitate expenditure of approximately $1,000.00 from the Park and Recreation Department operating budget for installation of an electrical meter box. The Park Department will also assume payment of the monthly electrical bills estimated at approximately $30.00 per month. The Law Department has revised the Non-Exclusive Use Agreement to reflect that the lighting system is a donation and will not be removed by the rugby club at termination of the contract.

WATER MAINS WATER MAINS FOR FUTURE DEVELOPMENT. Agenda Report No. 00-0134. This project is included in the ten-year Capital Improvement Program (CIP #W-65) and provides for the City’s share in funding major water main extensions to serve future developments and newly annexed areas. The Water Master Plan indicates the need to extend the water distribution system wherever future growth and development is occurring. These projects are identified when a petition for water system extensions is received. The Water Utility pays for links and over-sizing of the water system in developments. Funds are also used to design and relocate water mains for future Public Works projects. This project (CIP #W-65) is budgeted for $3,000,000 in 2000 and will be funded from future revenue bonds and/or Water Utility cash reserves.
