	UNFINISHED BUSINESS

TREATMENT PLANT	NORTHWEST SEWAGE TREATMENT PLANT.

David Warren	Director of Water and Sewer reviewed the Item.

	Agenda Report No. 02-1619

	On January 19, 1999, the City Council approved in concept a plan for a new sewage treatment plant and associated collection system improvements to serve northwest Wichita (S-512). On March 30, 1999, the City Council approved the purchase of site 7a for this plant. On September 28, 1999, the City Council approved a contract with Professional Engineering Consultants for management services for the project. On September 20, 2000, the City Council approved creation of S-512 and a budget of $23.1 million to pay for design and construction of the various projects.

	Construction of the plant, facilities and sewer system improvements to serve the plant is well under way and expected to be completed this Fall. Unfortunately, as the project has progressed, a number of factors have caused an increase in the cost over the original estimate of $23.1 million. These are primarily related to regulatory issues, construction obstacles related to the location of the plant, building capacity for future expansion to avoid higher cost later, and aesthetics.

	The wetlands development and riparian corridor expense included in the budget ($450,000) anticipate federal grant funds that the City has been told would be available; should those grant monies not be available, the cost could increase by an additional $1 million, based on what the City Council at that point decides to include. When staff knows what grant funding is available, and has better cost estimates, staff will bring this part back to the City Council.

	Staff estimates that the project will cost an additional $6 million. Of that, $4 million was factored into the CIP as approved by the City Council on May 14.  Three projects included in the adopted CIP may be reduced, resulting in no increase in the CIP and no additional rate increases. 
	--Delete the 2002 budget for S-5, Mains for Future Development  - $400,000
	--Delete the $600,000 budgeted for Four Mile Creek Interceptor Crossing; instead of being replaced, the interceptor will be relined and paid for from S-4, Reconstruction of Old Sanitary Sewers.
	--Decrease the 2002 budget for S-315, War Industries Sewer Reconstruction, by $1 million, due to savings in the $14.7 million project.

	Two proposed CIP projects were decreased in scope and/or rearranged in the final draft of the Sewer Master Plan in response to the increased cost of the Northwest Sewer projects: 
	--A preliminary recommendation of the Sewer Master Plan was to decommission Plant 1, at a cost of $21 5 million. However, the final recommendation was to spend $5.2 million on remediation of Plant 1. 
	--Another preliminary recommendation was to spend about $32.3 million to build a 7 mgd sewage treatment plant in southwest Wichita. The final recommendation was to spend $1.3 million to upgrade the Cowskin pump station and $19.7 million to build a 3 mgd sewage treatment plant. 

	Responding to questions, the Director of Water and Sewer said Staff does not intent do eliminate the $450,000 aesthetics portion but are encouraging the Kansas Department of Wildlife to release funds for this use.  When funds are identified and committed for that portion of the project, the Item will be returned to City Council for approval.

Mayor Knight	Mayor Knight inquired if anyone wished to be heard and no one appeared.

Council Member Fearey	Council Member Fearey said she hoped the property would be maintained beautifully without cost to the Park Department.

Martz moved that the Resolution be adopted.  Motion carried 7 to 0.  Yeas: Brewer, Fearey, Gale, Lambke, Martz, Pisciotte, Knight.


(Addendum # 1A)
EQUITY FEE	PLANT EQUITY FEE RECALCULATION ORDINANCE.

David Warren	Director of Water and Sewer reviewed the Item.

	Agenda Report No. 1471 A

	Plant equity fees for water and sewer connections were enacted in 1994.  Current fees are based on a 1995 recalculation.  Plant equity fees reflect a "growth pays for itself" policy orientation.

	The fees, as adopted, incorporate a "system buy-in" methodology which recognizes the value of current facilities and improvements that are projected to be built which provide the capacity necessary to serve new customers.  The calculations used in this method involve a recap of current system equity, i.e., relevant asset values, divided by treatment capacity.  Costs are then allocated to new service connections on the basis of meter capacity ratios based on service size.  The basic concept is that new service applicants, in effect, purchase a prorated share of the overall system equity that existing customers have accumulated over time.

	In 2001, as the City Council considered the need to process rate adjustments for the Water and Sewer Utilities, Staff prepared several alternatives that would have the effect of moderating rate impacts to the general customer base.  One of the approved options was to examine plant equity fees and determine the appropriateness of the fees currently being charged in view of many additions that have taken place to plant assets and system capacity since 1995.  Accordingly, Staff hired Black and Veatch (Consulting Engineers) to perform a recalculation of plant equity fees.

	Following is a recap of the current rates by connection size for Water and Sewer and the rates proposed under the recalculation:

		COMPARISON OF CURRENT AND PROPOSED PLANT EQUITY FEES

	Connection Size 	Current Water	Proposed Water	 Current Sewer 	Proposed Sewer 
			Charges		Charges		Charges	Charges
	1" or less	$   940		$   1,060		$  500	$   760
	2"		  3,010		     3,390	 	 1,600	  2,430
	3"		  5,640		     6,400		  3,000	  4,600
	4"		  9,400		   11,000		  5,000	  8,000
	6"		18,800		   21,000		10,000	15,000
	8"		30,100		   34,000		16,000	24,000
	10"		43,200		   49,000		23,000	35,000

	Sewer connection sizes are derived by an association with water connection sizes.  The recalculation encompasses projected capital expenditures in both Utilities through 2005 and is reflective of the substantial investment in facilities that will occur during this period.

	Historical averages indicate that approximately 1,700 applications will be processed annually for water and sewer connections.  The number of annual applications for larger service sizes is extremely variable and hence, no attempt is made to project revenues from these sources.  Using connections up to one inch and 1,700 connections annually as a base, implementation of the revised plant equity fees would produce an additional $204,000 in annual revenues to the Water Utility and an additional $442,000 in annual Sewer Utility revenues.  These additional revenues would be a direct offset to the need for a general rate increase in both Utilities.

	Plant equity fees calculated on the basis of the system buy-in methodology result in the enactment of a rational, legally defensible fee structure.  Given the fact that the components which combine to produce the rates under this methodology (system equity and plant capacity) are changeable over time, it is prudent and appropriate to periodically adjust the rates.

Mayor Knight	Mayor Knight inquired if anyone wished to be heard and no one appeared.

Motion -- 	Pisciotte moved that the Plant Equity Fee changes be approved and that the Ordinances be placed on 
             -- carried	first reading.  Motion carried 7 to 0.

	NEW BUSINESS

HEALTH SERVICES	REQUEST FOR LETTER OF INTENT FOR TAXABLE INDUSTRIAL REVENUE BONDS - WICHITA HEALTH SERVICES, L.L.C.  (District VI)

Allen Bell	Financial Projects Director reviewed the Item.

	Agenda Report No. 02-1620.

	Wichita Health Services, L.L.C., a Kansas limited liability company, has requested issuance of a Letter of Intent to issue Industrial Revenue Bonds in an amount not to exceed $6.3 million.  The bonds will finance the acquisition and rehabilitation of the existing Terrace Gardens Campus, located at the 1300 Block of West Street in northwest Wichita.  The company is also requesting that the property purchased and constructed with the bond proceeds be exempted from ad valorem property taxes for a five-year period.

	Terrace Garden currently consists of a 150-bed skilled nursing facility (39,789 s.f.), a 55-unit residential care facility (35,179 s.f.), and a 100-unit senior apartment unit (63,854), located at the intersection of 13th and West.  The proceeds from the sale of bonds will be used to finance the acquisition and construct certain ADA and regulatory improvements, and refurnish and equip the existing facility including the addition of new entrances and carports to entrances.  The company anticipates adding to the project as research establishes a demand for the various types of care within the local marketplace.

	The name of the nursing center will be changed to LakePoint Retirement and Rehabilitation Center - Wichita.  The company will operate and manage senior housing, assisted living, skilled nursing and Alzheimer/dementia care on the Project campus.  The senior housing will provide housing, meals and housekeeping for residents having the occasional need for medical attention.  The assisted living is for those residents needing regimented medical support.  The skilled nursing unit will help those individuals needing full-time 24-hour medical services.  The special care unit will provide dementia care to those residents needing full-time supervisory services.
	The company predicts that approximately 130 to 140 full-time employees will be employed at the facility with a few additional part-time employees.  This will include retaining the 45 jobs currently existing at the facility.

	An estimated analysis of the uses of project funds is:

	USE OF FUNDS

	Building & Land				$5,125,000
	Building Improvements			     525,000
	Architect				       25,000
	Equipment & Furnishings			       50,000
	Interest					     300,000
	Contingencies				       50,000
	Acct., Finance, Legal Cost			     225,000
	Total cost of Refinancing Project		$6,300,000

	The firm of Hinkle Elkouri Law Firm, L.L.C., will serve as bond counsel in the transaction.  Municipal Financial Group, of Blue Springs, MO, will serve as financial advisor to Wichita Health Services.  The bonds will be privately placed with one or more accredited investors.  Wichita Health Services, L.L.C. agrees to comply with the Standard Conditions contained in the City's IRB Policy.

	Wichita Health Services requests property tax abatement in conjunction with the IRBs.  The City's IRB Policy specifically prohibits granting a tax abatement for existing property.  The Policy also requires that an amount equal to 20% of the bond amount be spent on rehabilitation of the property.  Wichita Health Services proposes to spend $600,000 initially and an additional $660,000 on future rehab within a five-year period, subject to market feasibility.  Staff recommends against making an exception to the IRB Policy for this project.

	Wichita Health Services, L.L.C. agrees to pay all costs of issuing the bonds and agrees to pay the City's $2,500 annual IRB administrative fee for the term of the bonds.

	Bond documents will be prepared by the bond counsel for the project.  The City Attorney's office will review all final documents prior to the issuance of any bonds.

Mayor Knight	Mayor Knight inquired if anyone wished to be heard and no one appeared.

Motion -- 	Fearey moved that the six-month Letter of Intent for Taxable Industrial Revenue Bonds to Wichita Health Services L.L.C. in an amount not to exceed $6,300,000, without property tax abatement, subject to the Standard Letter of Intent Conditions and subject to meeting all requirements of the City's IRB 
              -- carried	Policy, be approved; and the necessary signatures be authorized.  Motion carried 7 to 0.

CORR. HOUSING	PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO ALTERNATIVE CORRECTIONAL HOUSING ORDINANCE - LICENSING/SITING CRITERIA.

Kurt Schroeder	Superintendent of Central Inspection reviewed the Item.

	Agenda Report No. 02-1622

	In May of 2001, spacing requirements were enacted by the City Council for alternative correctional housing facilities having a sex offender population.  Section 20.08.120 of the City Code provides that any new alternative correctional housing facility may not be licensed and any existing such facility may not be relicensed if it is within 1,200 feet of several various uses, including public or private preschools; elementary, middle and high schools; day care centers; public parks or playgrounds; private businesses that primarily serve children or youth under age 18; residences or agencies that provide on-site services to persons with developmental, physical or mental disabilities; taverns or drinking establishments; adult entertainment establishments; and residential zoning districts.

	At the time the Council enacted Section 20.02.120 of the Code, it was apparent that three existing alternative correctional housing facilities would be ineligible for relicensing due to the spacing requirements.  These facilities are Mirror, Inc. at 3820 North Toben, Mirror, Inc. at 236 South Pattie, and Dodge House at 735-739 North Topeka.  The City Council directed the Alternative Correctional Housing Advisory Board (the Board) to study the issue of reintegration of sex offenders into the Wichita community, and to formulate a recommendation for the Council regarding alternative correctional housing facilities that house sex offenders.

	The Board has worked diligently on this assignment (beginning in July 2001), gathering facts, listening to presentations from experts in this area, and weighing various alternatives in an attempt to determine the best course of action to recommend to the Council. As part of this process, the Board also thought it important to seek additional public input from District Advisory Boards, neighborhoods and other effected groups. The members of the Board considered full and complete public input a necessary and vital component of any recommendation/s that it might present to the Council.

	To assure a thorough public input process, the City Council passed a resolution on March 19, 2002 that placed a moratorium on the enforcement of spacing requirements as they would apply to the relicensing of existing alternative correctional housing facilities.  This moratorium applied for 90 days, and extended the re-licensure deadline for existing alternative correctional housing facilities for up to 90 days (or until August 3, 2002).

	Since the moratorium was passed, the Board and staff have made presentations to all six (6) District Advisory Boards (also notifying effected neighborhoods and other interested parties of these DAB presentations), have reviewed the input received from the DABs, have conducted a final public hearing at the ACH Board's June 13, 2002 meeting, and have held several additional ACH Board sub-committee and regular Board meetings to finalize the ACH Board's recommendations to the City Council.

	On June 27, 2002, the Alternative Correctional Housing Advisory Board met to finalize its recommendations for amendments to the City ordinance governing Alternative Correctional Placement facilities. The proposed ordinance, as amended, would allow certain existing, licensed facilities that house sex offenders, and that fail to meet the 1,200' distance separation requirement, to continue to house sex offenders, PROVIDED that a number of enhanced program operation and facility security/supervision requirements can be achieved within ninety days.  Furthermore, the proposed ordinance amendments provide for increased auditing and monitoring of existing facilities that house sex offenders.

	The proposed amendments include the following enhanced security, supervision and community education requirements for existing facilities that house sex offenders:

	·	Facilities must development and implement an enhanced facility security/supervisor plan.  If the facility contracts with a government agency (such as the Kansas Department of Corrections (KDOC) or the Federal Bureau of Prisons), such plan must be reviewed and approved by the contracting agency.  If the facility has no such contract, the plan must at a minimum comply with at least eight (8) additional security provisions as outlined in the amended ordinance.  These additional security provisions include best practices/guidelines from Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED), KDOC standards/practices, and practices/guidelines from the American Correctional Association.  

	·	Facility operators, owners and/or managers must show a commitment to work with the surrounding neighborhood and the Wichita Police Department to engage neighbors in community education and dialogue relating to personal safety, and to inform neighbors of all existing education, training, and personal safety programs offered by the police department.

	·	Facility operators, owners, and/or managers must show a commitment to maintain continued communication with police officers assigned to the neighborhood, encourage periodic visits to the facility and surrounding businesses by such police officers, and facilitate training and education programs provided by police for neighborhood audiences.

·	The population of sex offenders at such facilities shall be limited to fifty percent (50%) of the facility's total licensed capacity at any given point in time.  The facility shall maintain at all times a current list of residents who are sex offenders.  The list shall be submitted on a monthly basis to the Office of Central Inspection in accordance with the rules and regulations governing such submissions, and to the chief of police, or the chief's designee.  A copy of this list shall also be maintained on the premises of the facility at all times and shall be made available upon request to the program auditor or any duly authorized officer or agent of the city, or any law enforcement officer. 

	.	Facility operators, owners, and/or managers shall be responsible for disclosing to the neighborhood residents and businesses the plan for supervision of sex offenders housed in such facility.  

	In addition to the above, the proposed amendments subject non-conforming facilities (that are not under contract with a government agency) to additional program and security audits/random checks by the program auditor, duly authorized agents of the City, any law enforcement officer and/or any private contractor hired to perform additional security investigation/auditing.

	The enhanced standards will require additional premise inspections by the Office of Central Inspection and the Wichita Police Department, and may require additional program auditing by the current program auditor or a private security auditor.

Mayor Knight	Mayor Knight inquired if anyone wished to be heard.

Margalie Bradley	Alternative Correctional Housing Board said that without facilities, sex offenders would be housed in the community at-large, and urged approval of the Ordinance.  

Motion -- 	Pisciotte moved that the Alternative Correction Housing Licensing Ordinance amendments be approved; and the Ordinance be adopted on first reading.  Motion carried 7 to 0.

					ORDINANCE

	An Ordinance amending Section 20.08.120 pertaining to the exemption of certain existing Alternative Correctional Housing Facilities from spacing requirements related to such facilities that house sex offenders, and creating Section 20.08.125 of the Code of the City of Wichita pertaining to additional standards required of such Alternative Correctional Housing Facilities and repealing the original of Section 20.08.120,  introduced and under the rules laid over.


BUDGET	2003 ANNUAL OPERATING BUDGET AND REVISIONS TO THE 2002 BUDGET.

Ray Trail	Director of Finance reviewed the Item.

	Agenda Report No. 02-1623.

	The City Council has received the City Manager's Proposed 2003/2004 Budget (including tax increment financing districts).  The Council is receiving public comment at its weekly Council meetings.

	The proposed 2003 annual operating budget is $354,301,280.  Interfund transactions and appropriated fund balances increase this amount to $471,183,935.  The inclusion of expendable trust funds, as required by law, is an additional $50,311,130 for a total of $521,495,065.  The estimated mill levy for this budget would be 31.474 mills, no change from the levy for the current 2002 adopted budget.

	The General Fund property tax levy is $46,952,520 (including a delinquency allowance) at an estimated 21.474 mills.  The levy for the Debt Service Fund is $21,982,550 (including a delinquency allowance) and is estimated at 10.000 mills.

	The dollar amounts, after they are set in the published notice of hearings on the proposed budget, cannot be exceeded, although the City Council may determine subsequently to reduce the mill rate.  Formal hearing and adoption of the budget is scheduled for August 13.  If subsequent actions result in an increase to the budget, a process of republication, hearings and certification will be required.

	In addition to action on the 2003 Budget, it is requested that action be taken to amend the 2002 adopted budget - as contained in the proposed budget submitted to the City Council:

	1.	The Special Alcohol Programs Fund increases $862,070 to accommodate earlier actions by the Council to implement a case management system for client tracking subsequent to receiving treatment services, and to make available $250,000 for innovative pilot programs in the area of alcohol dependency treatment.
	2.	The Economic Development Fund increase of $3,962,820 is necessary to affect the economic incentive program for lower air fares previously approved by the Council.
	3.	The Equipment Motor Pool Fund (Fleet) is increased $5,233,840.  The Fire Fleet Maintenance operation has been merged with the rest of the City's operation.  The budget has been adjusted upward and is offset by a transfer from the General Fund.  Due to the continuing fluctuation in fuel prices, a contingency is included for increased fuel costs.  Finally, contingencies are included for flexibility and to implement elements of the Fleet Study, as needed.
	4.	The Stationery Stores Fund requires an additional $455,970.  The new all-in-one printer/copiers create a financial shift.  The IT Fund formerly received revenue from network printers.  Many of these have been replaced by copiers, the revenues for which are accounted for in the Stores Fund.  Beginning in 2003, major components of Stationery Stores will be consolidated into the IT Fund.  

	Publication of the notice of formal hearing will set the maximum dollars that may be expended in each fund.  The City Council may subsequently reduce expenditures required (and proposed tax dollars to be levied) but not increase them.


	As required by law, the proposed budget will be published with appropriated balances.  State statutes require formal public hearings prior to approval of the annual operating budget and for budget amendments of published funds.  The 2003 Budget must be adopted by the City Council on August 13, and will be filed with the County Clerk by the statutorial date of August 25.

WATER SYSTEM	WATER DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM IMPROVEMENTS ALONG OLIVER FROM DOUGLAS TO KELLOGG.  (District II)

	Agenda Report No. 02-1627

	On July 2, 2002, the Staff Screening and Selection Committee selected Duling Construction Company, Inc. to design and replace a water line along Oliver from Douglas to Kellogg.  An Agreement has been prepared.

	Replacement of the older and undersized water mains is necessary to maintain a reliable water distribution system.  The existing two-and one-half inch water main in Oliver from Douglas to Kellogg is undersized, unreliable, and must be replaced.  The water main connects to other mains in the area and also provides water service to the residents along that portion of Oliver.  The water main currently serves in excess of fifty-eight residences and commercial properties.  Fire protection in the area is minimal and the existing water main will not support additional fire hydrants.


	Payment will be on a lump sum basis of $158,430, and will be paid by Operating Revenues.

KCC	KANSAS CORPORATION COMMISSION FY2003 GRANT.

	Agenda Report No. 02-1632

	For the past eighteen (18) years Wichita Transit has filed for KCC funding to support the local rideshare program and special transportation development/ coordination activities.

	This year's grant will be a continuation of that effort, which includes mostly labor costs, with training and marketing, to promote all ground transportation services from buses to vans to carpools.  Major employers will be targeted for some level of corporate sponsorship of public transit.  Additionally, staff will be conducting continuing research on the feasibility of implementing Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) type of service for our operations, including the automatic vehicle locator (AVL), geographic information system (GIS), and electronic fare collection per Wichita Transit's Operational Plan.  Finally, staff will continue its brokering effort to place/match individuals for transportation services available throughout the region.

	The KCC grant request is for $27,000.  KCC will be used as the 20% local match to the FTA (80%) funds ($108,000) for a total project cost of $135,000.  There will be no City funds used to support these activities.

	The City's Law Department will review the contract prior to execution as to form.

KS CLINKS STEP	2003 AND 2004 KANSAS CLICKS STEP APPLICATION.

	Agenda Report 02-1633

	The KANSAS CLICKS special enforcement program provides overtime pay for officers enforcing occupant protection laws.  This program is designed to help local police departments and sheriff's officers dedicate officer time and resources to ensure citizens are wearing safety belts.  This is the third year for the program and the second year of participation for the Police Department.  The program is managed by the Kansas Department of Transportation - Bureau of Traffic Safety and emphasizes seatbelt enforcement during four specific periods: Thanksgiving Holiday, Child Passenger Safety Week, Memorial Day/Buckle Up America Week, and Labor Day.

	Since October 1, 2001, the Police Department has participated in the STEP grant project.  With grant funding the Police Department has utilized 1109 overtime hours during four designated weeks for traffic enforcement and public education. In grant overtime status, the officers stopped 2364 motorists, issued 1880 citations, and distributed 4244 educational fliers.  Additionally, the officers conducted four DUI check lanes, effected 37 DUI arrests, issued 462 citations for seatbelt violations and 177 citations for child passenger safety violations, conducted one child safety protection checkup and participated in a second checkup.  As of May, the department recorded 3696 traffic accidents, an 11 percent increase, as compared to the same time period in 2001.  The Police Department recorded 27 fatality accidents in 2001, and 12 fatality accidents through May 2002.  Increased enforcement and education will potentially reduce the number of these fatality accidents and increase awareness of the seat belt law.

	The Kansas Department of Transportation will reimburse the Police Department for work completed and actual costs incurred for commodities not to exceed the amount of the grant, which is currently estimated at $35,000.

SE TRANSM. LINE	SOUTHEAST TRANSMISSION LINE.  (Districts I and III)

	Agenda Report No. 02-1634

	On February 5, 2001, the City Council approved the Wholesale Water agreement to provide water to the City of Derby. The project will also reinforce the southeast portion of the City's water system.

	On June 19, 2001, the City Council approved spending $5.7 million to construct a 30" supply line from Dayton Street to the point of connection for Derby at K-15 and 63rd Street South, to provide water service to the City of Derby.  The June 19 agenda report also stated that the overall system improvements required to serve Derby would be $8.5 million, which included the $5.7 million allocated on June 19.

	MKEC was hired to prepare the design. The final design recommended a slightly different alignment, which would be more cost effective, and a 36" supply line.

	The 36" water line is anticipated to be installed by the Summer of 2003.  The first of three phases is under contract for construction. Phase 2 project plans are complete and bids will be received in late July. The Phase 3 project plans are being prepared and it is anticipated that this phase will be let for construction in the near future.

	The entire project, including planned improvements in Wichita, was estimated to cost $12.3 million including the revised pipe line size and alignment. Of that, $5.7 million has been allocated and funded the first phase of the project, and will fund a portion of the second phase.  The $5.7 million was part of the CIP to build the portion of the line from 31st St. S. to the point of connection with Derby at 63rd St South and K-15 (W-884).

	Another $3.8 million was to be reallocated from future CIP projects. However, those projects were inadvertently merged into the original $5.7 million and then deleted from the CIP, rather than creating additional funding.

AIRPORT	LAND USE AGREEMENT - JABARA AIRPORT.

	Agenda Report No. 02-1641

	On December 19, 2000, the City Council approved a Letter of Intent for the development of an 18,000 sq. ft. executive hangar at Col. James Jabara Airport to be leased to Wichita Air Services, Inc. (WASI) and Jack P. DeBoer, and designated these two jointly as Preferred Developer for the construction of the hangar and related developments.  The Letter of Intent called for the negotiation of a development agreement and lease.  These documents were subsequently approved by the City Council on February 6, 2001, along with a Resolution authorizing the issuance of General Obligation Bonds of the City of Wichita to pay all or a portion of the costs of constructing an aircraft hangar and associated improvements.

	The agreements approved by the City Council addressed the arrangement between the City of Wichita and Wichita Air Services, Inc. and Jack P. DeBoer. The cost of the hangar and associated improvements were financed by the City and amortized over the term of the lease from payments received from WASI and DeBoer.  Lease payments also covered the land lease payments to the WAA.  In that the Wichita Airport Authority holds title to the land, the City of Wichita then entered into an agreement with the Wichita Airport Authority.

	The term of the land lease between the City and the WAA mirrors the term included in the agreements previously approved by the City Council between the City and WASI and DeBoer.  However, the land rent schedules varied in that the City's agreement with WASI included a land rental amount of $.12/sq.ft. over the initial term, and the agreement between the City and the Wichita Airport Authority reflected an escalating land rent schedule, ranging from $.0985/sq.ft. during the first year to $.1428 during the 15th year.  The City is desirous of amending its agreement with the Wichita Airport Authority to reflect the $.12/sq.ft. rate which is included in the City's lease with Wichita Air Services.  The revenue difference over the 15-year period is less than $500.

	Since 1992, the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has awarded the City of Wichita Housing Authority modernization funds through the Comprehensive Grant Program and in beginning in 2000 the Capital Fund Program for the purposes of updating units and management systems in the Public Housing Division.  Housing authorities share the national allocation, which is determined by a calculation using various characteristics of each housing authority.  HUD regulations allow a housing authority to revise its approved annual budget when changes to the budget are required due to construction and administrative cost changes, HUD Notices, disasters, and emergencies outside the control of the housing authority.

	The revisions being proposed are items that have been approved by HUD in the present Capital Fund Five-Year Plan.  The major revision to the 2001 budget is an increase in the transfer to the Public Housing Operations Budget from $150,000 to $240,000.   The 2002 budget is being revised to reflect the change in the actual funding of the 2002 Capital Fund Grant and the increase in the transfer to the Public Housing Operations Budget from $150,000 to $230,000 and $90,000 to $275,000 in non-dwelling structures for the Section 8 Office/ Public Housing Office modifications.

The residents of the four complexes are responsible for the housekeeping of their individual apartments.  The complexes have common interior areas that are maintained by a janitorial service.  Common areas include laundries, cafeterias, lounges, restrooms and hallways.

	The physical condition and interior maintenance of these complexes have been a concern of the staff and the Kansas City Regional HUD Office.  Funding for the janitorial services is a part of the Public Housing operating budget.


	The Housing Services Department issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) to janitorial contractors.  Included in RFP was the methodology of award by a technical evaluation.  The technical evaluation was done in order to insure that an experienced, professional janitorial contractor would maintain the complexes. Nine responses were received for the RFP.  Staff has reviewed and evaluated the proposals and recommends that River City Building Maintenance be awarded the contract at $21,745.92 for one year with two, one-year options.

	Funding for this project is a part of the adopted 2002 Public Housing Operating Budget.
