PUBLIC AGENDA Paul A. Miller-Drinking water considerations. Paul Miller Mr. Miller stated that he resides at 420 Waverly and complimented the City of Wichita on the good water that they provide for their citizens. Stated that we have wonderful water and should appreciate what we have. Stated that people buy bottled water, which is shipped thousands of miles from the source and it is just plain water. Stated that our water cost 78 thousandths of a cent per gallon, which is what we pay for Wichita water and if you buy it in a bottle you will pay 10,000 times that much, which is more than gasoline. Stated that some of these empty bottles end up in the landfill and some end up in the streets and gutters littering the City. Stated that some of them get recycled, but Wichita does not have a comprehensive recycling program, so most of it becomes litter. Stated that he feels that we have something here that should be promoted. Stated that when people buy bottled water they do not realize that much of it is just tap water and if we have good tasting tap water, why do we pay 10,000 times as much for something that we do not need. Stated that we should be proud of our water and would like to see the City Council include an insert regarding our water, with the water bills so that the citizens would know how good our water is and to get them to reuse those empty water bottles. Stated that there is no reason to keep buying new bottled water and putting these empty bottles in the landfill. Stated that he would like the City Council to promote our product and try to see what we can do to reduce trash that is on our streets and in the landfill.

The statutes also authorize the Secretary to enter into agreements with cities for the maintenance of other connecting links. If the Secretary does not maintain the connecting link, the City shall be reimbursed $3,000 per lane mile for all connecting link mileage within the City limits. Because of the recent completion of improvements to Kellogg from one-half west of Maize to Holland Street, east of Tyler full access control is now provided for this section of US 54 and US 400. As a result, Kansas Department of Transportation (KDOT) will assume the maintenance responsibility for this roadway. The total mileage that the City is responsible for maintaining will be reduced from 43.525 to 35.298 lane miles. The Connecting Links that the City will continue to maintain include: Kellogg (US 54/400) - 119th St. W. to 1/2 mile west of Maize Road Edgemoor to east City limits Broadway/47th St. S.

The decrease of the number lane miles results in a proportionate decrease in the reimbursement. Total reimbursement to the City will decrease from $125,568 to $105,894. This Agreement addresses the Efficient Infrastructure goal by providing funding for maintenance of a vital vehicular transportation route.

OLD TOWN CENTER TRUSTEE REQUEST TO SELL IRB PROPERTY, SERIES VII, 1997 AND XII, 1999, OLD TOWN CENTER. (DISTRICT VI) Agenda Report No. 06-0580 In 1997 and 1999, the City of Wichita issued separate series of Taxable Industrial Revenue Bonds (Series VII-a and VII-B, 1997 and Series XII, 1999) to finance acquisition and renovation of the old Maasco Building, to be operated as the Old Town Center office building. All of the bonds went into default, and the Trustee filed a court action in 2004 to obtain possession of the property. Pursuant to court order, the Trustee obtained possession and has been attempting to sell the property for the benefit of the Bondholders. The Trustee has now signed a conditional contract to sell the property to Remington Commercial Advisors, LLC, contingent upon a favorable Bondholder poll, and approval by the District Court and the City of Wichita. The Trustee has until June 12, 2006 to obtain the approvals, which necessitated setting this item on the instant City Council agenda. Because the result of the Bondholder poll and the request for court approval were not yet known as of the date the agenda report was due, the City approval is framed as conditional upon the approval by Bondholders (usually determined by a the holders of a majority of the Bonds, by principal amount) and the District Court. The Trustee in its professional fiduciary opinion believes that the sale (which, at $2,100,000 is near a 2002 appraised value of the property) represents the best hope of any further recovery for the holders of the defaulted Bonds. Costs of the sale will be covered from the sales proceeds, and hence, it will be without financial cost to the City. Economic Vitality and Quality of Life. Cooperating with the Trustee to assist Bondholder recovery in a defaulted IRB issue is a necessary part of preserving the credibility and integrity of the City's IRB program for future projects. The City Attorney's Office has reviewed and approved the forms of the Special Warranty Deed, Quitclaim Bill of Sale and Assignment of Leases. The Trustee is bound by the powers and duties specified in the Indenture, and is under a fiduciary duty to manage and dispose of trust property in accordance with the best interests of the Bondholders. In view of the sale price that will be realized through the sale recommended by the Trustee, and the Trustee's decision to hold the sale only if the Trustee's recommendation is approved by a favorable Bondholder poll and by the Court, the City's approval of the proposed sale, subject to these same conditions, is lawful and appropriate. Motion-- Vice-Mayor Gray moved that the Resolution conditionally approving the Trustee's request to sell property and the execution and delivery of a Special Warranty Deed, Quitclaim Bill of Sale and Assignment of Leases substantially in accordance with the forms attached to the Resolution as exhibits, and also conditionally approving the execution and delivery of any further documents reasonably --carried necessary to accomplish the sale as requested by the Trustee be adopted.

On January 31, 2006, the Kansas Department of Health and Environment issued a Class V permit for the first phase of the Equus Beds Aquifer Storage and Recovery Project. The Equus Beds Aquifer Storage and Recovery Project (ASR) is the first of its kind in Kansas; thus, regulatory agencies have imposed extensive monitoring protocols to assure that the recharge activities do not have a negative impact on the aquifer. The Class V permit includes a monitoring program for the source water used to recharge the aquifer as well as a monitoring program that uses wells located near each recharge site. Thirty (30) monitoring wells are required, as well as collecting samples from domestic wells near the project area. The Class V permit requires the City to monitor all sites prior to beginning recharge activities, then a quarterly monitoring program the first year, a semi-annual monitoring program in the second year and an annual monitoring the third year. It is anticipated that if the monitoring program shows the project to be safe, monitoring requirements in future phases will be less intense. Cost for the program through fiscal year 2009 is $844,414. The City will pay $644,415 with the USGS assuming $200,000 in cost-share, or 23 percent. Construction has been funded from the CIP; however, the monitoring will be paid for from the Production & Pumping Divisions' operations budget. The Production and Pumping operations budget needs to be increased by $138,000 in 2006, increased by $191,000 in 2007, and the 2008 budget increased by $158,000 to pay for the program. Ensure efficient infrastructure by providing reliable, compliant and secure utilities. The Law Department has approved the Joint Funding Agreement as to form. Motion-- Vice-Mayor Gray moved that the Joint Funding Agreement and the increase in operating budget be --carried approved and the necessary signatures authorized. Motion carried 5 to 0, (Fearey and Mayans absent). CIP FUNDS TRANSFER OF CIP FUNDS. Agenda Report No. 06-0588 Each year the City Council authorizes Water & Sewer Department Capital Improvement Program expenditures for: reconstructing old sanitary sewers (S-4) installing sewer mains for future development (S-5) installing water mains to meet the needs of current development (W-65) replacing old water mains (W-67) Plainview consumer lines (W-70) Subprojects are defined and identified as necessary, or as development is taking place. When the subproject is defined, the cost is estimated and a budget is set up using funds from the appropriate project. When the subproject is complete, the remaining budget is transferred to the main project, available to be used for other subprojects initiated during the same year. Not all projects are completed in one fiscal year; therefore, not all of the funds approved can be spent in the year for which they are approved. Staff requests authorization to transfer 2005 funds remaining in S-4, S-5, W-65, W-67 and W-70 to the current year's budget, and to amend the bond resolutions for the current year. This will clarify spending and bonding authority for projects not completed in one fiscal year, and for funds remaining when subprojects are completed during a subsequent fiscal year. Most 2005 subprojects are substantially complete and the 2005 projects will be closed. This process avoids the need to over budget for projects in order to cover the estimated costs, rather than the actual costs. The following amounts were not used in 2005 and are needed in 2006. Transferring these funds will not increase CIP expenditures. · S-4 $75,995 · S-5 $149,464 · W-65 $3,187,000 · W-67 $1,787,110 · W-70 $73,039 As an Internal Perspective, this is an effective way for maintaining adequate cost accounting. To ensure efficient infrastructure, these projects will provide reliable, compliant and secure utilities. City Council approval is required to transfer CIP budget authority.

(DISTRICT V) Agenda Report No. 06-0589 On April 15, 2003, the City Council approved expenditures for a 24-inch water main to be constructed along 29th Street North from 119th Street West to 135th Street West. The Water Master Plan identified this project as necessary to ensure adequate service levels now and in the future. Bids were opened for construction on April 14, 2006, with the low bid received being $694,847. The budget for this project was originally set at $500,000 so a budget increase will be required. The increase is necessary to successfully let the project and have adequate funds for engineering and inspection. Capital Improvement Program project (CIP W-905) was included in the 2003 approved CIP. Due to inflation and the uncertainty of oil prices, the project was not successfully bid for the original projected budget of $500,000. An increase is required of $250,000 to bring the total budget to $750,000. The project will be funded from Water Utility revenues and reserves, and/or a future revenue bond issue. The construction of this water line will ensure efficient infrastructure and enhance the quality of life by providing reliable public utilities and water service to citizens that will be adequate and provide for future growth. The Law Department has approved the amended Resolution as to form. Motion-- Vice-Mayor Gray moved that the budget increase be approved; the Resolution adopted and the --carried necessary signatures authorized. Motion carried 5 to 0, (Fearey and Mayans absent).

DRYING BEDS SEWAGE TREATMENT PLANT MEDIA REPLACEMENT AND DECOMMISSION OF DRYING BEDS. Agenda Report No. 06-0590 Drying beds are a mechanism for dewatering wastewater treatment solids. The beds at Plant 1 have not been used for several years and the State of Kansas is requiring the City to close the beds, remove concrete containment walls and cover the units with soil. Enough soil has been accumulated to cover the beds, but until a recent inspection, Staff was not aware that the concrete would have to be removed. Quotes for the concrete removal were requested. Biofilter media is an important part of the odor control systems at Plant 2 and the Cowskin Creek Water Quality Reclamation Facility (CCWQRF). Wood chips are the media that provide a substrate for the growth of microbes responsible for consuming the odorous chemicals from the air collected throughout the plants. Plant 2 has been operating the biofilter for five years and has seen enough deterioration of the media to require them to be changed. The unit at CCWQRF has been in service three years and the media have deteriorated in a less uniform manner. The state is mandating the decommissioning of the drying beds at Plant 1. The need for the concrete removal is a new requirement and represents the largest expense. Biofilter maintenance at Plant 2 and CCWQRF is an important part of the odor control program at both facilities and both of the beds require replacement. The CIP was originally set up for improvements of the Plant 2 treatment system. The Plant 2 project will be complete by the end of June with the completion of the computer upgrade project. Bids will be taken for the removal and disposal of the concrete from the beds, and Staff will complete the closure. Bids will also be taken for the media replacement. CIP S-513, Sewage Treatment Plant 2 Improvements, will have remaining funds of $1.7 million and be available for the mandated projects at Plant 1 and the CCWQRF. Total cost for the two projects will be $275,000. The drying bed decommissioning at Plant I will cost $50,000. Media replacement is expected to cost $225,000 for the change out of the units at Plant 2 and CCWQRF. These items impact the infrastructure by providing reliable, sanitary, safe and compliant utilities. The Law Department has approved the Resolution as to form. Motion-- Vice-Mayor Gray moved that the expenditures be approved; the Resolution adopted and the necessary --carried signatures authorized. Motion carried 5 to 0, (Fearey and Mayans absent).

(A06-14) NEW BUSINESS TIF RESOLUTION CONSIDERING THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A REDEVELOPMENT DISTRICT, TAX INCREMENT FINANCING. (DISTRICT II) Allen Bell Economic Development Administrator reviewed the item. Agenda Report No. 06-0591 A local real estate development company, Loveland Properties L.L.C., has requested assistance from the City of Wichita in the redevelopment of property located near Douglas and Hillside, through the use of tax increment financing. Procedures for the use of tax increment financing require the establishment of a redevelopment district following a public hearing on the matter. At this time, the City is being asked to adopt a resolution setting the public hearing for July 11, 2006. The area proposed for redevelopment is shown on Exhibit 'A'. The area is bounded on the south by Douglas Avenue, on the west by Hillside Avenue, on the north by First Street and includes property parcels adjacent to the east of Rutan Avenue. This is an area that qualifies as a "conservation area" under the state TIF statutes. This area was the site of the original Wichita Clinic Building, which has recently been demolished. In 1988, the building was purchased by the State of Kansas and served as the regional office of the Kansas Department of Social and Rehabilitative Services (SRS). In 1995, the building and adjacent parking lots were purchased by the City of Wichita and Sedgwick County as part of the project to consolidate state agencies into the former Dillards Building in downtown Wichita. It was sold to Rusty Eck and has remained vacant since 1995. Loveland Properties proposes to purchase the former Clinic/SRS site and other property within the proposed redevelopment district and construct a mixed-use commercial development. The general plan for redevelopment calls for construction of a high-rise apartment/condo building with an attached parking structure, brownstone-type town homes and retail space. Tax increment financing would be used to pay for eligible redevelopment costs, which include (without limitation) land acquisition, demolition, site preparation, utilities, landscaping, paving, and public infrastructure. Tax increment financing allows the increased tax revenue that results from the redevelopment of property to be reinvested in the redevelopment project. Once a TIF district is established and a redevelopment project plan is adopted by City Council, the increment of increased tax revenue is set aside by the County Treasurer, to be used by the City to repay bonds issued to finance certain improvements that are specified in the redevelopment project plan. After the bonds are retired, the property tax increment is distributed to the City, County and School District. The first step in establishing the tax increment district is the adoption of a resolution which states that the City Council is considering the establishment of the TIF district and sets the date for a public hearing on the matter. The earliest date a public hearing could be held for this project is July 11, 2006. After closing the public hearing, the City Council may adopt an ordinance establishing the redevelopment district. The final step in the approval process involves the adoption of a detailed project plan and approval of a development agreement. The initiating resolution directs the City Clerk to publish the resolution in the City's official newspaper and to mail copies, by certified mail, to the owners and occupants of all property located within the district and to the Board of County Commissioners and Board of Education. The resolution also includes a map of the proposed district and a proposed district plan identifying potential redevelopment project areas and a general description of buildings and facilities to be constructed or improved. Tax increment financing falls under the City's Economic Development Incentive Policy, and as such this project will be subject to the provisions of said Policy, unless specifically waived or adjusted by the City Council. For example, it may be necessary to waive or adjust the requirement that projects must show a cost-benefit ratio of at least 1.3 to one in order to receive incentives. As a commercial redevelopment project consisting of housing and retail businesses, it is unlikely the project will qualify under that requirement. The cost of mailing the Resolution to all owners and occupants of property located within the proposed district will be charged to Economic Development Fund and will be ultimately financed with TIF revenues. The developer will be required in the development agreement to provide satisfactory guarantees for the payment of any shortfall in TIF revenues available for debt service on any "full faith and credit" TIF bonds issued by the City. Economic Vitality and Affordable Living and Quality of Life. Redevelopment of blighted areas, and declining areas, are needed to avoid economic stagnation. Business prospects and workers seeking to relocate are attracted to a new city that takes care of its older sections. State law allows cities to establish redevelopment districts in areas that are considered conservation areas based on findings that a majority of the structures in the area are at least 35 years old and the area is not yet blighted but may become blighted due to dilapidation, excessive vacancies or building abandonment. Such findings shall be set forth in the ordinance presented to the City Council for adoption following the public hearing on July 11, 2006. During a 30-day period following the public hearing, the Sedgwick County Board of County Commissioners and the USD 259 Board of Education will have the right to veto the establishment of the redevelopment district. Vice-Mayor Gray Vice Mayor Gray inquired whether anyone wished to be heard and no one appeared. Motion-- Schlapp moved that the resolution providing notice of consideration for the establishment of the proposed redevelopment district and setting a public hearing for July 11, 2006 be adopted. Motion --carried carried 5 to 0, (Fearey and Mayans absent). RESOLUTION NO. 06-342 A Resolution stating the city of Wichita is considering the establishment of a Redevelopment district for the Douglas and hillside redevelopment District under authority of K.S.A. 12-1770 Et Seq, presented.

WEAVER PUBLIC HEARING AND TAX EXEMPTION REQUEST, WEAVER MANUFACTURING, INC. (DISTRICT I) Allen Bell Economic Development Administrator reviewed the item. Agenda Report 06-0592 On December 19, 2000, City Council approved a five-plus-five year 100% ad valorem tax exemption for Weaver Manufacturing, Inc. (Weaver Manufacturing) on an expansion project that resulted in constructing additional manufacturing space and purchasing new equipment. On December 18, 2001, City Council also approved a 94.75% five-year tax exemption on manufacturing equipment, and March 4, 2003, Council approved a 100% five-year tax exemption on manufacturing equipment. Weaver Manufacturing, Inc., located at 1005 E 17th in northeast Wichita, was locally formed in 1942. Weaver is a machine shop supporting Wichita's aircraft industry and over the years has experienced growth in sales and production. In response to an increase in production, Weaver expanded its existing facility to include acquisition of new manufacturing equipment in the amount of $316,890. The company is now requesting approval of an Economic Development Tax Exemption on additional new equipment in conjunction with the expansion project. Weaver Manufacturing, Inc. manufactures precision component aircraft parts in support of Wichita's major aircraft manufacturers. Weaver specializes in engine attachment rings for aircraft, which are the rings that hold the jet engines onto a plane's wing. Weaver also manufactures structural component parts such as floor beams and seat tracks. Weaver utilizes precise equipment to machine component parts up to 80" to 125"in length. By using the latest in computer technology, the company has built a reputation for producing high quality, close tolerance machined parts as well as tooling and prototype work. Weaver's expansion project will result in the purchase of new manufacturing equipment. The new equipment will be purchased by a 60%-owned affiliate, TDR, Ltd, and leased to Weaver Manufacturing, Inc. by such affiliate. Staff conducted a site-monitoring visit on June 5, 2004, and as a result of the 2003 expansion, Weaver is on target with its job commitment and is in compliance with all the terms and conditions under which the City granted the exemption. Weaver currently employs 56 employees and projects to add an additional 4 new jobs over the next five years by expanding operations through acquisition of new manufacturing equipment. Weaver exports 100% of all production out of Kansas via Spirit Aero systems, Boeing, B.F. Goodrich and Nordam, Cessna and Vought Aircraft. Weaver Manufacturing Inc./TDR, Ltd's, expansion project is itemized in Exhibit I. Under the Economic Development Incentive Policy, Weaver Manufacturing is eligible for the following property tax abatement: TAX EXEMPTION ELIGIBILITY ELIGIBLE % INCENTIVE EXPLANATION 19.00% New Job Creation: Weaver Manufacturing will create at least 4 new jobs. 6.00% Capital Improvements: Weaver Manufacturing will invest at least $316,890. 25.00% Sub Total Business - Incentive Eligibility (Maximum allowed is 100%) 20.00% Location Premium: Weaver Manufacturing is located in the central redevelopment area. 45.00% TOTAL EXEMPTION ALLOWED UNDER ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT INCENTIVE POLICY Under the City's Economic Development Incentive Policy, Weaver and TDR, Ltd are eligible for 45% tax exemption for a five-year term on the identified personal property. A notice of public hearing has been published. Weaver Manufacturing has agreed to comply with the conditions set forth in the Economic Development Incentive Policy. The estimated first year taxes on the proposed $316,890 expansion would be $7,702 on personal property, based on the 2005 mill levy. Using the allowable tax exemption of 45 percent, the City would be exempting (for the first year) $3,466 of new taxes from the personal property tax rolls. The tax exemption would be shared among the taxing entities as follows: City - $975; County/State - $924; and USD 259 - $1567. Wichita State University Center for Economic Development and Business Research calculated a cost-benefit analysis indicating benefit-to-cost ratios, which are as follow: City of Wichita 3.94 to one Sedgwick County 4.20 to one USD 259 1.31 to one State of Kansas 5.86 to one Economic Vitality and Affordable Living. Granting an ad valorem property tax exemption will encourage the business to create new job opportunities and stimulate economic growth for the City of Wichita and Sedgwick County. The City Attorney's Office has approved the Ordinance as to form. Vice-Mayor Gray Vice-Mayor Gray inquired whether anyone wished to be heard and no one appeared. Motion-- Brewer moved that the public hearing, be closed; the Ordinance granting Weaver Manufacturing, Inc. and TDR, Ltd. a 45% tax exemption on the identified personal property for a five- --carried year term placed on first reading and the necessary signatures authorized.

ORDINANCE An Ordinance exempting property from ad valorem taxation for economic development purposes pursuant to Article 11, Section 13, of the Kansas Constitution; providing the terms and conditions for ad valorem tax exemption; and describing the property of Weaver Manufacturing, Inc., so exempted, introduced and under the rules laid over. CHILD SAFETY ACT CHILD PASSENGER SAFETY ACT AMENDMENT, SECTION 11.38.370. Gary Rebenstorf Director of Law reviewed the item. Agenda Report No. 06-0593 City of Wichita Ordinance 11.38.370 is known as the Child Passenger Safety Act. Currently, the ordinance requires children under the age of four years to be placed in a proper child safety restraining system that meets or exceeds the standards and specifications contained in the federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 213. Children four years of age, but under the age of fourteen, must be restrained in a safety belt manufactured in compliance with federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 208. During the 2006 state legislative session, House Bill No. 2611 was passed, which places more stringent requirements for safety restraints of children in motor vehicles. Effective July 1, 2006, this bill continues to require children under the age of four years to be in an appropriate child safety restraining system. However, the bill will require that children fours years of age, but under eight years of age, and who weighs less than 80 pounds, or is less than 4 feet 9 inches in height, must be in an appropriate child passenger restraining system that meets or exceeds the standards and specifications in federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 213. For children eight years of age but under fourteen years of age, or who weighs more than 80 pounds or is more than 4 feet 9 inches in height, must be in a safety belt manufactured in compliance with federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 208. Under the current version of the law, $10 of the fine and court costs shall be waived if the driver convicted of violating the child safety seat provisions provides proof to the court that they have procured or purchased a proper child safety seat. Under the law effective July 1, 2006, $60 of the fine is waived upon proof of purchase or procurement of a proper child safety seat, and such proof is provided to the Court. For those violating the provisions mandating child safety seats for those from four years of age to eight years of age, and who weighs less than 80 pounds or is less than 4 feet 9 inches in height, then a warning citation shall be issued for this violation until June 30, 2007. Currently, the Wichita Police Department does not issue warning citations, or have a warning citation form. When officers issue warning citations in this instance, they will utilize the current citation, and indicate at the top, that it is a warning. Copies of the citations will be forwarded to Municipal Court for tracking and statistical purposes. Amendment to City of Wichita Ordinance 11.38.370 must be adopted, as city ordinance cannot be less restrictive than state statute. Provide a safe and secure community. The ordinance amendment has been prepared and approved as to form by the Law Department. Vice-Mayor Gray Vice-Mayor Gray inquired whether anyone wished to be heard.

GREENWICH RD GREENWICH ROAD IMPROVEMENT, BETWEEN 26TH AND 29TH STREET NORTH. (DISTRICT II) Jim Armour City Engineer reviewed the item. Agenda Report No. 06-0595 The 2005-2014 Capital Improvement Program adopted by the City Council includes a project to improve Greenwich, between 26th and 29th St. North. District II Advisory Board sponsored a May 1, 2006, neighborhood hearing on the project. The Board voted 11-0 to recommend approval of the project. The project will provide four through lanes on Greenwich and a continuous center two-way left turn lane. The intersection of Greenwich at 29th will be paved with left turn lanes at all four approaches. A storm water sewer will be constructed to improve drainage. Construction is planned to begin later this year. The estimated project cost is $1,700,000 with $500,000 paid by the City and $1,200,000 by Federal Grants administered by the Kansas Department of Transportation. The funding source for the City share is General Obligation Bonds. This project addresses the Ensure Efficient Infrastructure goal by improving a vital arterial street. It also addresses the Economic Vitality and Affordable Living goal by providing a public improvement necessary for the private sector's development of the surrounding area.

SEC. 5.66.010 AMENDMENTS TO SECTION 5.66.010 OF THE CODE OF THE CITY OF WICHITA, KANSAS, PERTAINING TO CRIMINAL DAMAGE TO PROPERTY. Gary Rebenstorf Director of Law reviewed the item. Agenda Report No. 06-0607 The Kansas Legislature increased the jurisdictional amount for the misdemeanor crime of criminal damage to property. Under the existing state statute, K.S.A. 21-3720, criminal damage to property was a misdemeanor offense if the property was damaged in an amount less than $500, or if the damaged property had a value under $500. The amendments to K.S.A. 21-3720, found in Senate Bill 366, raise the amount of damage to under $1,000, or the value of property damaged is under $1,000. The amendments to 5.66.010 must be passed, in order to comply with the mandates of state statute, K.S.A. 21-3720, regarding jurisdictional limits for the crime of misdemeanor criminal damage to property. Municipal criminal ordinances cannot be less restrictive than state criminal ordinances. Provide a Safe and Secure Community. This amendment will allow the Police Department and Law Department to continue to charge and prosecute criminal damage to property violations. The City of Wichita Law Department drafted the amended ordinance and approved it as to form. Vice-Mayor Gray Vice-Mayor Gray inquired whether anyone wished to be heard and no one appeared.

SEC. 5.42.035 AMENDMENTS TO SECTION 5.42.035 OF THE CODE OF THE CITY OF WICHITA, KANSAS, PERTAINING TO UNLAWFUL USE OF A FINANCIAL CARD. Gary Rebenstorf Director of Law reviewed the item. Agenda Report No. 0608 The Kansas Legislature increased the jurisdictional amount for the misdemeanor crime of criminal use of a financial card. Under the existing state statute, K.S.A. 21-3729, violation of criminal use of a financial card was a misdemeanor offense if the money, goods, property, services or communication services obtained within a seven-day period are of the value of less than $500. The amendments to K.S.A. 21-3729, found in Senate Bill 366, raise the jurisdictional amount of goods or services obtained during a seven-day time period to less than $1,000. The amendments to 5.42.035 must be passed, in order to comply with the mandates of state statute, K.S.A. 21-3729, regarding jurisdictional limits for criminal use of a financial card. Municipal criminal ordinances cannot be less restrictive than state criminal ordinances. Provide a Safe and Secure Community. This amendment will allow the Police Department and Law Department to continue to charge and prosecute violations of criminal use of a financial card. The City of Wichita Law Department drafted the amended ordinance and approved it as to form. Vice-Mayor Gray Vice-Mayor Gray inquired whether anyone wished to be heard and no one appeared. Motion-- Vice-Mayor Gray moved that a public emergency be declared and the ordinance making the recommended amendments to City Code Section 5.42.035 be adopted on first reading..

ZON2005-00058 ZON2005-00058-ZONE CHANGE FROM TWO-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL TO NEIGHBORHOOD OFFICE. GENERALLY LOCATED WEST OF OLIVER AVENUE AT THE NORTHEAST CORNER OF CENTRAL AND CRESTWAY AVENUES. (DISTRICT I) John Schlegel Planning Director reviewed the item. (Council Member Skelton momentarily absent) Agenda Report No. No. 06-0596 MAPC Recommendations: Denied (5-5) at May 4, 2006 meeting. Denied (6-5) at February 2, 2006 meeting. MAPD Staff Recommendations: Denied. DAB Recommendations: Denied (7-1). The applicants are requesting "NO" Neighborhood Office zoning on a platted 0.22-acre site, which is currently zoned "TF-3" Two-family Residential. The site is located on the northeast corner of Central and Crestway Avenue. The site's current structure appears to be what was originally a single-family residence (approximately 1,428-square feet, single-story, wood lap siding, built in the late 1920s) facing Central with a detached single car garage in the back. Access to the garage is off of Crestway. There is a paved alley (which is blocked off by a fence located east of the site) abutting the back of the site by the garage with a graveled area abutting the east side of the garage. There is a six-foot wooden privacy fence around the back yard of the site. The applicants propose to convert this residential structure into an office. It appears the applicants have already begun the conversion and have a sign posted in the front yard advertising the business. The applicants were advised that the Unified Zoning Code (UZC, Art. IV, Sec. IV-E) permitted the proposed business as a "home occupation, office facilities." The applicants have stated that the office will be operating without an occupant on the site, thus canceling any possible "home occupation" status. They also want a larger on-site sign than what was permitted for a home occupation. Staff advised the applicants that a variance could be applied for, in regards to the sign they wanted and that is currently on site, if the office was operated as a "home occupation". "TF-3" zoned lots that have been developed as duplexes are east of the site, extending up to where the block ends at Terrace Drive. The next block east of the site is zoned "TF-3" and "MF-20" Multifamily Residential and is developed with duplexes and four-plexes with the exception of the eastern most corner property being zoned "GO" General Office. This "GO" zoned property is almost two blocks away and is the nearest nonresidential zoning on the north side of Central. The "GO" zoned property is also the western most extension of the commercial ("LC" Limited Commercial) zoning located around the Central and Oliver Avenue intersection, specifically on the north side of Central. South of the site, and across Central Avenue, properties are zoned "TF-3" and "SF-5" Single-family Residential with development being overwhelming single-family residential. There is "LC" zoning almost two blocks east of the site on the south side of Central. Similar to the previously mentioned "GO" zoning, it is the western most extension of the commercial ("LC") zoning around the Central and Oliver Avenue intersection. "TF-3" zoning and a mixture of mostly single-family residences and some duplexes are located west, across Crestway Avenue, from the site. The nearest commercial/office zoning west of the site is seven blocks away. "TF-3" zoning and a mixture of mostly single-family residences and a few scattered duplexes are located north of the site. The Metropolitan Area Planning Commission (MAPC) heard this request at their February 2, 2006 meeting. The MAPC recommended denial (6-5) citing the findings found in the staff report. One property owner spoke in opposition citing concerns with increased traffic and the impact it would have on their shared driveway with the applicant. Staff received no written protest to the request. District Advisory Board I (DAB I) reviewed this request at their March 6, 2006 meeting. One person spoke against the request at the DAB meeting. DAB I recommended denial (7-1). The Wichita City Council heard this request at their April 4, 2006 meeting and recommended (unanimously) that the request be returned to the MAPC for reconsideration. The MAPC reconsidered this request at their May 4, 2006 meeting and recommended denial (5-5). A tie vote is deemed to be a recommendation of disapproval. There are findings in the staff report to support denial. No one spoke against the request at the MAPC meeting. Promote Economic Vitality and Affordable Living. Should the City Council approve the request an ordinance will be prepared reflecting the Council's direction. Council Member Brewer Council Member Brewer stated that there was a lot of discussion between the District Advisory Board (DAB) and they were close to being a split vote. Stated that this weekend he drove by and looked at the sign and based on the information that they have and the nature of the business, he feels that there is no reason to not approve this. Motion-- Brewer moved to approve the zoning change from Two-family Residential to Neighborhood Office. --carried Motion carried 5 to 0, (Fearey and Mayans absent). ZON2006-00014 ZON2006-00014-ZONE CHANGE FROM LIMITED INDUSTRIAL TO GENERAL INDUSTRIAL FOR READY MIX CONCRETE AND ASPHALT PRODUCTION FACILITIES. GENERALLY LOCATED 500 FEET SOUTH OF TULSA, 500 FEET EAST OF HYDRAULIC AND WEST OF I-35. (DISTRICT III) John Schlegel Planning Director reviewed the item. Agenda Report No. 06-0597 MAPC Recommendations: Approve, subject to re-platting with no Protective Overlay (11-0). MAPD Staff Recommendations: Approve, subject to re-platting and a Protective Overlay. DAB Recommendations: Approve, subject to staff recommendations. (8-2). The application area consists of undeveloped 18.21 acres and a portion of two platted lots that is generally located 500 feet south of Tulsa, 500 feet east of Hydraulic and west of I-135. The contract purchaser wishes to develop the site with ready mix concrete and asphalt production facilities. The contract purchaser owns "LI" zoned property north of this site, which is used for similar production. All property surrounding the site is zoned "LI" and is vacant or developed with industrial uses. Across Hydraulic, 500 feet west of the site, is "LC" Limited Commercial and "MF-29" Multi-family Residential zoned property, developed with a church, a retail use, a postal facility and single-family residences. DAB III heard this request on April 18, 2006. Both DAB members and citizens raised concerns of permitted uses under "GI" zoning, environmental and dust issues and offers to donate land to the City for a fire station. The DAB recommended approval of the request, subject to staff recommendations, including a Protective Overlay, by a vote of 8-2. Conditions of the Protective Overlay include: landscape buffering along I-135, limiting the site to one plant located at least 850 feet from Hydraulic and limiting access to the site from Tulsa Street (no direct access from Hydraulic would be permitted). MAPC heard this request on April 20, 2006 and no citizens spoke in opposition to the zone change request. The action of the MAPC was to approve the request without the staff recommended Protective Overlay by a vote of 11-0. Promote Economic Vitality and Affordable Living. The Ordinance has been reviewed and approved as to form by the Law Department. Council Member Skelton Council Member Skelton stated that this request was discussed with local neighborhood associations and the DAB and at both of these meetings, citizens discussed conditions that would ensure this request does not have a negative impact on the area. The original protective overlay as recommended by staff and approved by the DAB can be seen in the MAPC minutes for this case. Stated that to ensure that the neighbors are considered, he wishes to propose a protective overlay with conditions that would limit the applicant to one concrete or asphalt plant on the site and would keep the plant over 850 feet from the residential area. Stated that this would ensure that the code required screening and landscaping are also included. Motion-- Skelton moved to recommend approval of the zone change request, subject to re-platting the property within one year and subject to Protective Overlay #171 with the following conditions: 1) The site shall be limited to one concrete or one asphalt batching plant; 2) no asphalt or concrete plant shall be located within 850 feet of Hydraulic Avenue; 3) the applicant shall comply with all landscaping requirements of Chapter 10.32 of the Code of the City of Wichita applicable to GC or LI zoned property; 4) the applicant shall comply with all applicable provisions of the Wichita-Sedgwick County Zoning Code relating to required screening of GI zoned property; 5) no rock crushing shall be permitted on the property and 6) the applicant shall comply with all federal, state and local rules and regulations, health codes, environmental codes, and operational standards for concrete and asphalt production --carried equipment and facilities.

ZON2006-19 ZON2006-19-ASSOCIATED WITH CON2006-17, ZONE CHANGE FROM SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL TO LIMITED COMMERCIAL AND A CONDITIONAL USE TO ALLOW A CAR WASH WITHIN 200 FEET OF A RESIDENTIAL ZONING DISTRICT. GENERALLY LOCATED AT THE SOUTHEAST CORNER OF WEST MAPLE STREET AND SOUTH ILLINOIS AVENUE. (DISTRICT IV) Agenda Report No. 06-0602 MAPC Recommendation: Approve, (11-0) subject to staff recommendations except the following: (1) Change condition "C" of the Conditional Use to "All proposed lighting shall comply with Art. IV, Sec. IV-B.4 of the UZC. Plus, no proposed pole lights (including base, standard, and fixtures) shall be taller than 14 feet south of the vacuum stations." (2) Change condition "D" of the Conditional Use to "The site shall comply with all provisions of the Landscape Ordinance and the applicant shall submit a landscape plan for approval by the Planning Director, which shall include evergreens planted every 15 feet in the south landscape buffer between Lot 20 and Lot 22, Block 3, Quincy Addition." Staff Recommendation: Approve, subject to replatting within one-year and conditions. D.A.B. Recommendation: Approve, (8-0) subject to staff recommendations and adding the following as condition "H" of the Conditional Use: "The applicant shall provide a security gate at the main drive, which shall be locked when the facility is closed for business." The applicant is requesting a zone change from SF-5 Single-family Residential to LC Limited Commercial and a conditional use to allow a 24-hour car wash to be located within 200 feet of residential zoning in the LC Limited Commercial zoning district. The approximately one acre site is located on the southeast corner of the intersection of West Maple Street and South Illinois Avenue, one block east of West Street. The site is currently zoned LC Limited Commercial on the north nine lots and SF-5 Single-family Residential on the south four lots. The north nine lots (LC) are currently vacant, but appear to have been used as a parking lot at some point in the past. The two center lots (SF-5) are vacant and the two southernmost lots (SF-5) are developed with one single-family residence. Quik Trip Corporation, owner of the property immediately west of Illinois Avenue from the subject property, is proposing the car wash as an ancillary use to their existing convenience store. A mix of commercial and industrial zoning with predominately neighborhood retail/commercial uses typifies the land use pattern along the West Street and Maple Avenue frontages. Single-family zoning and development interspersed with multi-family and two-family zoning and development characterizes the area south of Maple Avenue between West Street and Friends University. Immediately across Maple Avenue from the subject property is developed with a small strip retail center, which includes hair salon and automotive services. Immediately east of the subject property is a small neighborhood bar/drinking establishment. Southeast of the site is a small pocket of multi-family use zoned MF-29 Multi-family Residential. A single-family residence zoned SF-5 abuts the site to the south. The applicant has submitted a site plan that illustrates three major changes to the existing site that will require replatting as a remedy. First, two existing points of access onto Maple Avenue will be closed and replaced with one large drive onto Illinois Avenue. This will include dedication of complete access control on Maple Avenue. Second, the site plan shows the closing of the existing alley between the north nine lots and four south lots. Third, the existing setback along Maple Avenue is being reduced from 20 feet, as required by the Unified Zoning Code (UZC), to 15 feet. Also at platting, the applicant will be asked to dedicate right-of way on the northern 20 feet of Lot 4, which fronts on Maple Avenue, to match the existing right-of-way along the rest of the subject property. At the DAB IV hearing on May 3, 2006, the DAB voted (8-0) to recommend approval of the zoning change and the Conditional Use, subject to replatting within one year and subject to the conditions recommended by staff and adding the following as condition "H" of the Conditional Use: "The applicant shall provide a security gate at the main drive, which shall be locked when the facility is closed for business." At the MAPC hearing on May 4, 2006, the MAPC voted (11-0) to recommend approval of the zoning change and the Conditional Use, subject to replatting within one year and subject to conditions recommended by staff, except: (1) Change condition "C" of the Conditional Use to "All proposed lighting shall comply with Art. IV, Sec. IV-B.4 of the UZC. Plus, no proposed pole lights (including base, standard, and fixtures) shall be taller than 14 feet south of the vacuum stations." (2) Change condition "D" of the Conditional Use to "The site shall comply with all provisions of the Landscape Ordinance and the applicant shall submit a landscape plan for approval by the Planning Director, which shall include evergreens planted every 15 feet in the south landscape buffer between Lot 20 and Lot 22, Block 3, Quincy Addition." The original staff recommendation for condition "C" was to prohibit lighting taller than 14 feet throughout the site and for condition "D" was to use evergreens, rather than shade trees. The conditions of approval recommended by the MAPC are: A. The car wash shall be developed according to the site plan and maintained in compliance with all the requirements of Section III-D.6.f of the UZC regarding supplementary use regulations for car washes. B. The site shall comply with all provisions of Section IV-C of the UZC, pertaining to compatibility standards. C. All proposed lighting shall comply with Art. IV, Sec. IV-B.4 of the UZC. Plus, no proposed pole lights (including base, standard, and fixtures) shall be taller than 14 feet south of the vacuum stations. D. The site shall comply with all provisions of the Landscape Ordinance and the applicant shall submit a landscape plan for approval by the Planning Director, which shall include shade trees planted every 15 feet in the south landscape buffer between Lot 20 and Lot 22, Block 3, Quincy Addition. E. The site shall be developed in general conformance with the approved site plan. All improvements shall be completed before the facility becomes operational. F. At platting, the applicant shall dedicate complete access control to Maple Street and shall dedicate 20 feet of right-of-way to Maple Street from Lot 4, Block 3, Quincy Addition. G. After a review of the development and upon appropriate findings, any violation of the conditions of approval will allow the Conditional Use to be declared null and void. Promote Economic Vitality and Affordable Living The ordinance has been reviewed and approved as to form by the Law Department. Motion-- Vice-Mayor Gray moved that the findings of the MAPC and the zoning change and the Conditional Use to permit a car wash, subject to replatting within one year and subject to the recommended conditions be approved and the Planning Department be instructed to forward the ordinance --carried for first reading when the plat is forwarded to the City Council.

CUP2005-00009 CUP2005-00009 (DP-282) AND ZON2005-00006-EXTENSION OF TIME TO COMPLETE THE PLATTING REQUIREMENT FOR THE FOLIAGE COMMERCIAL COMMUNITY UNIT PLAN AND A ZONE CHANGE FROM SINGLE-FAMILY TO LIMITED COMMERCIAL. GENERALLY LOCATED NORTH OF 13TH STREET AND WEST OF WEBB ROAD. (DISTRICT II) Agenda Report No. 06-0603 Staff Recommendation: Approve extended platting deadline of May 3, 2009. On May 3, 2005, the City Council approved the creation of DP-282 Foliage Commercial CUP and a zone change from "SF-5" Single-Family to "LC" Limited Commercial on approximately 7.14 acres generally located north of 13th Street and west of Webb Rd. Approval of the request was subject to the condition of platting the property within one year. As the applicant indicates in a letter , the applicant is not ready to develop or begin platting. The applicant requests a three-year platting extension to May 3, 2009. Staff recommends that an extension of time to complete platting requirements be granted. The City Council may deny the request for an extension of time to complete platting; however, denying the extension would declare the CUP and zone change null and void and would require reapplication and rehearing if the property owner still desired a CUP and zone change. Promote Economic Vitality and Affordable Living. No legal documents are required to enact the granting of the platting extension. The granting of a platting extension is indicated via letter to the applicant noting the extended platting deadline as granted by the City Council. Motion-- Vice-Mayor Gray moved that the extended platting deadline of May 3, 2009 be approved. --carried Motion carried 5 to 0, (Fearey and Mayans absent). CUP2006-06 CUP2006-06, ASSOCIATED WITH ZON2006-07-CREATE DP-295 STONEBRIDGE COMMUNITY UNIT PLAN; ZONE CHANGE TO LIMITED COMMERCIAL. GENERALLY LOCATED AT THE SOUTHEAST CORNER OF 37TH STREET NORTH AND MAIZE ROAD. (DISTRICT V) Agenda Report No. 06-0604 MAPC Recommendations: Approve, subject to staff conditions, vote (11-0). MAPD Staff Recommendations: Approve, subject to conditions. DAB Recommendations: Approve subject to MAPC conditions (8-0). The applicant proposes to create a commercial Community Unit Plan containing approximately 36 acres with 11 parcels zoned "LC" Limited Commercial for commercial development on the southeast corner of Maize Road and 37th Street North. Currently the property is zoned "SF-5" Single-family Residential. Parcels 1-10 are parcels located along Maize Road and 37th Street North. They range in size from 0.9 acre to 2.23 acres (Parcel 1 - 1.55 acre, Parcel 2 - 1.27 acre, Parcel 3 - 1.39 acre, Parcel 4 - 1.38 acre, Parcel 5 - 2.23 acres, Parcel 6 through 9 - 0.97 acre each, Parcel 10 - 0.90 acre). Parcel 11 is the main parcel. It has 23.27 acres and is connected to Maize Road and 37th Street North with a main entrance off each street frontage. A portion of this parcel will be used for drainage/detention purposes. Most likely this will be in the area directly east of the Parcels 1-4 and along the southern edge of the tract. Allowed uses would be those permitted by right in the LC district except: adult entertainment establishment, correctional placement residence, asphalt/concrete plant, pawn shop and storage-outdoor as a separate use. Additionally, convenience stores, service stations, auto repair, car washes, restaurants with drive-in or drive-through windows, and taverns and drinking establishments would be prohibited within the south 200 feet of Parcels 1 and 11 and within the east 150 feet of Parcels 10 and 11. Overhead doors would be prohibited within 200 feet of residential zoning and overhead doors could not be facing residential zoning. Car washes would be prohibited within 200 feet of residential zoning, and, in those areas where not prohibited, would be subject to the additional requirements of the supplementary use regulations of Sec. III-D.6.f of the Unified Zoning Code. Outdoor storage and display is permitted on Parcel 11 as an accessory use. Screening of outdoor storage and display would be per standards for the LC Limited Commercial district, except that outdoor storage would be allowed to increase from 10 percent to 20 percent, which is the amount allowed in LC subject to a conditional use approval. The approval of this use in the CUP would be considered granting the conditional use for additional outdoor storage area, but would be subject to site plan review by the Director of Planning, with concurrence of the Zoning Administrator and Traffic Engineer, to ensure compliance with LC site design standards for outdoor storage. Maximum building coverage and gross floor area is shown as 35 percent for Parcels 1-8, 30 percent for Parcels 9 and 10, and 27 percent for the area of Parcel 11 (not including the area used for detention). Total maximum building coverage and gross floor area for the CUP would be 30 percent. Building height is shown as 45 feet for Parcel 11 and 35 feet for Parcels 1-10. The total number of buildings is proposed as 16, with one building on each of the smaller parcels and five on Parcel 11. Building setbacks are shown as 35 feet on along Maize Road, 37th Street North and exterior property lines. Internal building setbacks on parcels are shown as 15 feet. If a parcel is developed with a building of more than 100,000 square feet of gross floor area, the building setback increases to 100 feet on the south and west property lines and 35 feet on the interior parcel boundaries. Buildings would have uniform architectural compatibility of character, color, texture and same materials (further defined as similar to surrounding residential areas), and would use earth-tone colors predominately. Parking lots would have similar or consistent lighting elements, limited to 25 feet in height, and reduced to 15 feet in height within 100 feet of residential zoning with residential use. Parking would be per code, but allows for use of Parcels 6-10 as parking areas for Parcel 11 if needed by future development, particularly if the CUP is developed with a shopping center type of building rather than a big box type of use on the main parcel. A six-foot masonry wall would be constructed along property abutting residential zoning. The Sedgwick County bike path is shown on the CUP as a 10-foot asphalt sidewalk. The CUP requires a site plan to provide for smooth internal flow of vehicular traffic and for pedestrian connections between buildings and with the arterial sidewalk system. Monument signage requested slightly exceeds the amount allowed by the Wichita Sign Code, and it is recommended the overall limit on sign face area of 0.8 times linear frontage be added. The number of signs requested is 14 monument signs, 11 signs with a maximum height of 20 feet and an maximum sign face area of 150 square feet, plus three signs with a maximum height of 30 feet and maximum sign face area of 200 square feet. This is equivalent to 17 signs (signs that are 30 feet in height are counted as occupying two sign locations by the Wichita Sign Code), which is the number of signs allowable based on the linear frontage of the CUP. Spacing of 100 feet is requested only between the 30' signs and 20' signs, rather than 150 feet apart. Otherwise, the signs would be spaced 150 feet apart. Portable and off-site signs are prohibited. Window displays would be limited to 25 percent of window area and signs on the rear would be prohibited. The property currently is zoned SF-5 and is in agricultural use. The property to the east and south is owned by USD#266 Maize School District. A portion of the 280 acres is developed with Maize South Middle School and the remaining land is being held for future school development. The property to the west of Maize Road is in large lot residential use or agricultural use, but has been platted and is being zoned for commercial use. A 25-acre tract on the northwest corner of Maize and 37th Street North is zoned LC and approved for commercial development (DP-262 37th & Maize Commercial CUP), but is currently undeveloped. The property to the north of 37th Street is located in the city of Maize. An eight-acre tract is being developed with an institutional use (Wichita State University) and approximately 25 acres is available for commercial use. At the District V Advisory Board meeting held May 1, 2006, the board voted (8-0) to approve subject to the MAPC recommendation. A question was asked if agreements were in place for improvements and maintenance of 37th Street North and Maize since the jurisdiction is split between Wichita and Maize. The responsibility has been determined by an agreement between the two jurisdictions. At the MAPC meeting held April 20, 2006, they voted (11-0) to approve subject to staff ecommendation. No citizens were present to speak on the proposal. No protests have been received. The recommendation is that the application be APPROVED subject to platting within one year and subject to the following conditions: A. APPROVE the zone change (ZON2006-07) to LC Limited Commercial subject to platting of the entire property within one year; B. APPROVE the Community Unit Plan (DP-295), subject to the following conditions: 1.

Add General Provision 10K: The total amount of sign face area of freestanding signage along each arterial street shall not exceed 0.8 times the linear frontage. 4. Any major changes in this development plan shall be submitted to the Planning Commission and to the Governing Body for their consideration. 5. The transfer of title of all or any portion of the land included within the Community Unit Plan does not constitute a termination of the plan or any portion thereof, but said plan shall run with the land for commercial development and be binding upon the present owners, their successors and assigns, unless amended. 6. All property included within this CUP and zone case shall be platted within one year after approval of this CUP by the Governing Body, or the cases shall be considered denied and closed. The resolution establishing the zone change shall not be published until the plat has been recorded with the Register of Deeds. 7.

Agenda Report No. 06-0605 The Wichita Airport Authority acquired the residence at 4700 North Webb Road along with approximately 78 acres via eminent domain because a portion of the property lies within the runway protection zone and the runway approach protection zone for Colonel James Jabara Airport. This tract was acquired to prevent incompatible development in the protected area. Because monies from the Federal Aviation Administration were utilized in the purchase, the prior owner is eligible for reimbursement of certain relocation costs. Pursuant to the Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act, the prior owner is eligible for reimbursement for moving costs, costs associated with acquiring a replacement dwelling and a housing price differential payment. Based on the actual costs of the relocation, these amounts are $2,500.00 for moving, $849.50 for closing costs, and $54,500.00 for the housing price differential, resulting in a total payment of $57,849.50. The payment will be funded with General Obligation Bonds paid by airport revenues. A budget increase in the amount of the payment is requested. The Airport's contribution to the economic vitality of Wichita is promoted by acquisition of land that provides sufficient runway protection. The Law Department has reviewed the settlement and approved the Authorizing Resolution as to legal form.

Consent Agreement between the City of Wichita, the Boys and Girls Club of South Central Kansas, Inc. and --carried Intrust Bank. (District I). Motion carried 5 to 0, (Fearey and Mayans absent). (Item 10e) BOYS/GIRLS CLUB CONSENT AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF WICHITA, THE BOYS AND GIRLS CLUB OF SOUTH CENTRAL KANSAS, INC. AND INTRUST BANK (DISTRICT I) Agenda Report No. 06-0558 On June 21, 2005, the City Council approved leasing a portion of the former Heartspring site at 2400 North Jardine to the Boys and Girls Club of South Central Kansas ("Boys and Girls Club"). The Boys and Girls Club plans to build a facility to replace their existing facility at 21st Street North and Grove. The facility will provide a wide variety of services and programs for at risk youth. The Boys and Girls Club is currently securing funding for the project. Much of the funding that the Boys and Girls Club has raised for the project consists of donations that will be paid over several years. To allow timely construction of the facility, the Boys and Girls Club is seeking financing from INTRUST Bank, N.A. ("INTRUST") in anticipation of the donor pledges expected to be collected. INTRUST requires security for the proposed loan, in the form of a leasehold mortgage on the Boy's and Girls Club's interest in the project. The lease between the City and the Boys and Girls Club prohibits such a mortgage without the City's consent, and also provides that if the proposed facility ceases to be used for the purposes discussed in the lease, the land and the improvements will revert to the City. These lease terms preclude INTRUST from securing the loan to the Boys and Girls Club with the facility, unless the City is willing to sign a consent agreement to allow the leasehold mortgage and provide INTRUST with protection against reversion of the building to the City. A consent agreement has been drafted between the City, the Boys and Girls Club and INTRUST whereby the City's right to terminate the leasehold and take the building will be subordinated to Intrust's interest. This means that instead of being able to take back the property, including the building, if the youth facility use were discontinued, the City would have to let INTRUST market the remaining term of the leasehold to a buyer that would use the property for the type of recreational youth facility contemplated by the lease. The consent agreement also contemplates that after three years of unsuccessful marketing attempts, the City would reasonably consider approving a sale of the leasehold to a buyer with a different use, so long as such use is still consistent with the existing platting and the surrounding uses in the Planned Unit Development. At the time of any sale of the leasehold interest by INTRUST, sale proceeds allocable to the land would be paid to the City, and proceeds allocable to the buildings financed by INTRUST would be paid to INTRUST to the extent necessary to fully satisfy its mortgage, with any excess proceeds going to the City. There is no immediate financial impact associated with approving the consent agreement. Support a dynamic core area and vibrant neighborhoods. The proposed facility will increase neighborhood vibrancy by providing multiple services for all youth in the area. The Law Department has approved the consent agreement as to form. Motion-- Brewer moved that the agreement be approved and the necessary signatures authorized. Motion --carried carried 5 to 0, (Fearey and Mayans absent). Motion--carried Vice-Mayor Gray moved to close the regular meeting. Motion carried 5 to 0, (Fearey and Mayans absent).
