MUNICIPAL COURT	DOCUMENTS RELATED TO MUNICIPAL COURT OPERATIONS.



Chris Cherches	City Manager reviewed the Item.



	The following Items were considered on March 19, 
1996, and subsequently deferred from the April 2, 1996, Council 
Meeting, and on April 9, 1996, were deferred at the request of 
attorneys Frank Ojile and Jack Focht: 

	

	Organizational Structure of Municipal Court: 
Based upon the recommendations of the Municipal Court Task 
Force, the Law department has prepared a charter ordinance and 
simple ordinance for Council consideration.  The charter and 
simple ordinances revise the reporting structure and reflect the 
powers and duties of the judges and the reporting line of the 
Court Administrator to the City Manager for administrative 
matters, to the Administrative Judge for policy directions of 
the Municipal Court, and for providing services to the judges.  
The charter ordinance also directs the Municipal Court Judges to 
communicate with the City Council, on a regular basis 
(quarterly), the activities of the court and to also provide 
regular (quarterly) written reports.  The recommended action is 
to approve the simple and charter ordinance provisions described 
above.



	Judicial Selection and Compensation: The 
Municipal Court Task Force made several recommendations relating 
to judicial selection and compensation.  One ordinance, relating 
to modifications to the compensation schedule, was approved with 
the adoption of the December 1995, annual salary ordinance.  The 
charter ordinance presented for consideration includes 
provisions to modify:  the selection process for judges (three 
appointments by the City Council and two appointments by the Bar 
Association to the selection committee); and authorize 
participation by the Municipal Court Judges in political 
activity (same guidelines that govern political activity by City 
employees would apply to judges).  The recommended action is to 
approve the charter ordinance provisions as outlined above.



Bill Cather	Bill Cather said improvements are being made to Municipal Court 
operations, including staff additions, and personnel changes, 
and time should be given to see the results.  A three to six 
month deferral is recommended.



Motion --	Cather moved that this matter be deferred six months.  



Council Member Cole	Council Member Cole expressed concern regarding the needed 
improvement in communications between the City Council and the 
Municipal Court.



Council Member Cather	Council Member Cather said he had been receiving 
reports from Judge Gorup and letters from Judge Flaigle.  
Communication is being done on a more regular basis.



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



Harold Flaigle	Municipal Court Administrative Judge said the recent personnel 
changes have made the atmosphere more relaxed and asked that 
there be no action taken on the ordinances at this time.



	Judge Flaigle said the Acting Municipal Court 
Administrator (Roger Clark) had prepared drafts for reports 
which should be ready the first week in July.  The reports 
should be completed on a quarterly basis thereafter.

COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT	FAR WEST SIDE COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT POLICY.



Council Member Ferris	Council Member Ferris reviewed the Item.



	Agenda Report No. 96-333.



	On January 23, 1996, the City Council called for 
the Metropolitan Area Planning Commission to consider possible 
amendments to the Comprehensive Plan regarding the rapidly 
urbanizing area west of Maize Road.  A group of residents 
notified of a proposed rezoning of land at the southwest corner 
of Maple and 135th Street West had not only opposed that 
rezoning, but also questioned the need for any commercial 
development west of Maize Road.   

      

	The current policies in the adopted 
Comprehensive Plan call for limiting the location of larger-
scale buildings and uses serving larger populations to some 
specific areas.  But the plan indicates that local-serving 
commercial development is appropriate at any of the 
intersections of the mile-line arterial road system.  The City 
Council's request to the MAPC was to revisit the existing 
policy, including consideration of the residents' suggestions 
for a "commercial-free zone".   

      

	The City Council also recognized that most of 
the undeveloped land in this area was still unincorporated and 
under the jurisdiction of the Sedgwick County Commission.  If 
any changes in policy were going to be implemented, it would 
require the cooperation of both governing bodies.  Since the 
MAPC members are appointed by both governing bodies, their 
recommendations on this issue would be sent to both governing 
bodies for final consideration.  

      

	Planning staff organized a workshop on March 12 
with a group of about 30 people representing a variety of 
interests, including residents and landowners from inside and 
outside the city, developers, business interests, and 
representatives of the MAPC and the City's citizen participation 
board for this Council district (CPO 5).  The purpose of the 
workshop was to clarify the issues and the goals held by 
different groups about future development in this area, and to 
identify any areas of consensus.  A wide spectrum of opinions 
was aired at this meeting.  But staff felt there was a consensus 
of the participants to permit some commercial development in 
this area, with additional guidelines to assure more 
predictability on the scale of commercial development at 
different intersections, and higher standards of appearance for 
these developments.  

      



	Staff then prepared a report and sent it to the 
MAPC and CPO members.  The report described current land uses 
and zoning in this area, projected future population growth and 
its attendant need for commercial services, reviewed the pattern 
of commercial development in west Wichita and compared it to the 
pattern in Johnson County, and considered the possible impacts 
of a "commercial-free zone" on surrounding areas.  The staff 
report rejected the idea of a commercial-free zone, but offered 
a "menu" of options for more controlled commercial development 
in this area.       



	The MAPC and CPO 5 then jointly hosted a public 
hearing on the subject of commercial development west of Maize 
Road.  The hearing was conducted at the auditorium of the 
Sedgwick County  Zoo on the evening of March 25.  About 100 
people attended the hearing.  After the Planning Director 
summarized the staff report, the boards took public comments 
from 9 individuals.  The two boards then discussed the issue at 
their regular meetings later that week, and voted on 
recommendations.  CPO 5 approved a motion generally calling for  
commercial developments to be more aesthetically appealing and 
blend in more with surrounding residential areas.  The MAPC 
voted to recommend "no change" in the adopted Comprehensive 
Plan.  They indicated that they were opposed to the idea of a 
"commercial-free zone," and that while the staff may have had 
some good suggestions, the consequences of adopting any changes 
were too far-reaching to be considered so abruptly.

      

	The area west of Maize Road to Colwich Road 
between Kellogg and 21st Street North, unlike other urbanizing 
areas at the edge of Wichita, has a number of arterial 
intersections which were not "pre-set" with 4-corner commercial 
zoning by the County in 1958, for what was then a 3-mile ring 
around the City.  The pattern of development along 119th Street 
West, the first street west of the 1958 zoning ring, has very 
little area developed or available for commercial development, 
in comparison with most of the city's arterial streets.  Some 
residents and developers contend that this difference is largely 
responsible for the strong housing demand in this area.

      

	The staff report acknowledges that some current 
residents express a willingness to drive outside this area for 
all of their commercial needs, but concludes that the idea of a 
large area housing 24,000 people in the future with no local-

	serving businesses would be a mistake.  It would 
add traffic to east-west streets within the area, and add 
traffic and development pressures in established neighborhoods 
to the east.  

      

	On the other hand, staff concurs with the 
concerns expressed by the residents that the current policies do 
not give them much sense of how much commercial development to 
expect at any intersection, or much comfort that it will be 
complimentary to the residential character of the area.  The 
Comprehensive Plan makes some general statements in this regard, 
but they are very general.  It seems reasonable to provide some 
more specific guidelines for this particular area, which does 
not have the typical zoning "pre-sets"-- to encourage commercial 
development which is more  attractive and more genuinely serves 
the needs of the locality; which is more like the "planned 
communities" in many larger metropolitan areas.  These 
guidelines should also lead to fewer misunderstandings and 
conflicts in the future on how this area should develop.

      

	Based on the feedback from the March workshop 
and public hearing, and the discussion at the MAPC and CPO 
meetings, staff would recommend the following policy guidelines 
be adopted as a part of the Comprehensive Plan to guide 
commercial development in this specific geographic area:

	

	1.	The scale of development at the 9 
intersections of Maple,  Central, and 13th Street North with 
119th, 135th, and 151st  Streets West should be limited as 
follows:


	a. 	If an intersection is 1 mile (driving 
distance) from  another of the 9 intersections, or from an 
intersection along Maize Road, which has 24 acres or more 
zoned for commercial uses, it should be limited to a maximum 
of 4 acres at any corner and 8 acres total for all 4 
corners.   

	b. 	If an intersection is 2 miles or more 
(driving distance) from another of the 9 intersections, or 
from an intersection along Maize Road, which has 24 acres or 
more zoned commercial, it should be limited to a maximum of 
12 acres at any corner and 24 acres total for all 4 corners.

	c. 	Businesses at these intersections 
should generally be limited to no more than 8,000 square 
feet in size, with the  exception of groceries and 
drugstores.  (This would be business size, not building 
size.)


	

	2. 	Commercial development is not appropriate 
at corners which have significant environmental features (e.g. 
wooded creek  areas), and the appearance of commercial 
development should have the following characteristics:



	a. 	Freestanding signs which are low, 
small, and monument-style, and overall signage which is 
restrained in extent.

	b. 	Low-key lighting of buildings and 
parking areas.

	c. 	landscape area and plantings which 
generally exceed, and screening requirement which may 
exceed, the minimum standards in the city ordinance.

	d. 	architectural treatments which are 
internally consistent within the development, and are 
compatible with surrounding residential developments in 
terms of exterior colors and materials and roof forms.

      


	The Comprehensive Plan is one of a number of 
factors that the MAPC and governing bodies must take into 
account when considering applications for rezoning.  However, 
the state statutes indicate that a rezoning request which 
complies with the comprehensive plan shall be "presumed to be 
reasonable."   

      

	The MAPC has recommended "no change" to the 
Comprehensive Plan at this time regarding commercial development 
policy west of  Maize Road.  If the governing bodies are 
contemplating any changes to the Comprehensive Plan, then both 
bodies must override the MAPC recommendation and approve the 
change(s) by a 2/3 vote, or else send the issue back to the MAPC 
for reconsideration.



Marvin Krout	Director of Planning said the Comprehensive Plan is just a set 
of guidelines which are presumed to be reasonable.  Developers 
can request something more or less than what is suggested by the 
Comprehensive Plan.



Council Member Kamen	Council Member Kamen said he would like Staff 
to work with the County to see whether recommendations could be 
developed for the area directly to the east of the Wichita city 
limits.  The same recommendations might be used.



Marvin Krout	Director of Planning said dialogue would be continued with the 
MAPC for other areas around Wichita.



Council Member Ferris	Council Member Ferris stated that the current 
Transportation Plan does not show Maple, Central, or 13th 
Street, in the west Wichita area being discussed, as four-lane 
arterials.  If there were to be a larger than 12-acre commercial 
development, the Transportation Plan would have to be modified.  
There needs to be some assurances as to what is involved with 
the Transportation Plan.



	Council Member Ferris also clarified that if 
there were a strip-center of four businesses, 32,000 square feet 
would be allowed.  The 8,000 square feet allowed is per 
business.



	Twenty-first Street, Maize Road, Kellogg, and 
167th Street West are not included as part of the intersections.  
These are considered "major" roads and may have greater 
development.



Council Member Cole	Council Member Cole said this gives an opportunity to do things 
a little differently and concurred that signs, design, and 
things of this type are not discussed to a great degree in the 
current Comprehensive Plan.  



	Disappointment is in that there is not a 
broader consideration than the two or three zoning cases the 
Council has been struggling with.  There has been no direction 
from the Planning Commission which means the Council has to go 
ahead and decide what is to be done without MAPC recommendation.



Motion --	Ferris moved that for the area in west Wichita bounded by 21st 
Street on the north, Maize Road on the east, 167th Street on the 
west, and Kellogg on the South, the scale of development at the 
9 intersections of Maple, Central, and 13th Street North with 
119th, 135th, and 151st Streets West should be limited as 
follows:

	a. 	If an intersection is 1 mile (driving 
distance) from another of the 9 intersections, or from an 
intersection along Maize Road, which has 24 acres or more zoned 
for commercial  uses, it should be limited to a maximum of 4 
acres at any corner and 8 acres total for all 4 corners.   

	b. 	If an intersection is 2 miles or more 
(driving distance) from another of the 9 intersections, or from 
an intersection along Maize Road, which has 24 acres or more 
zoned commercial, it should be limited to a maximum of 12 acres 
at any corner and 24 acres total for all 4 corners.

	c. 	Businesses at these intersections should 
generally be limited to no more than 8,000 square feet in size, 
with the  exception of groceries and drugstores.  (This would be 
business size, not building size.) 

	2. 	Commercial development is not appropriate 
at corners which have significant environmental features (e.g. 
wooded creek areas), and the appearance of commercial 
development should have the following characteristics:

	a. 	Freestanding signs which are low, small, 
and monument-style, and overall signage which is restrained in 
extent.



	b. 	Low-key lighting of buildings and parking 
areas.

	c. 	landscape area and plantings which 
generally exceed, and screening requirement which may exceed, 
the minimum standards in the city ordinance.

	d. 	architectural treatments which are 
internally consistent within the development, and are compatible 
with surrounding residential developments in terms of exterior 
colors and materials and roof forms.

	And; that this be adopted as an amendment to 
the Comprehensive Plan.

	CITY COUNCIL AGENDA



WOOLWORTH PROPERTY SITE	DISCUSSION OF ESTIMATED COST FOR LANDSCAPED 
PARKING AREA FOR SHORT-TERM PARKING -

LANDSCAPED PARKING AREA	WOOLWORTH PROPERTY SITE.  (Requested by 
Council Member Kamen)



Council Member Kamen	Council Member Kamen said that when the 
Woolworth building was originally demolished, the plan was to 
establish a vest-pocket park which would be an entrance to the 
State Office Building.  It is no longer possible to make this an 
entrance to the State Office Building.  



	At the present time, it is the City's policy 
to establish a vest-pocket park at this location by using 
voluntary contributions.



	Council Member Kamen asked that information 
be provided regarding the cost to develop this area into a well-
landscaped parking area rather than a vest-pocket park.  This 
should be discussed during the Capital Improvement budget 
hearings.



Council Member Cole	Council Member Cole spoke in support of the current plan for a 
vest-pocket park which she said was never dedicated to the State 
Office Building but was to serve as an area of green along 
Douglas.  The fact that the situation is different with the 
State Office Building does not negate the fact that this is the 
site for a vest-pocket park.



	Of significance is that the approval to 
demolish the Woolworth building was required from both the state 
and local Historic Preservation Boards and approval was based 
upon using the area as a park and the City agreeing to create a 
facade look.  The Woolworth building block was the only intact 
block and the facade would take care of the concern with regard 
to creation of a hole.



	A commitment has been made and there are 
private fund raising efforts going on at present.  Council 
Member Cole said she is involved in the fund raising and 
additional moneys are being sought for the park development.



	Also of concern is any kind of curb cut in 
the middle of the block with parking traffic going in and out.



Chris Cherches	City Manager said that because this area was in close proximity 
to a national and state historic building (Kress Building), the 
City Council had to create Findings before the building could be 
demolished.  The Findings were based on the fact that the City 
would make a park and continue the block facing in the area to 
carry out the theme of the block.



	If the use is to be changed, the City would 
have to go back through the process.



Council Member Kamen	Council Member Kamen said he thought the 
facade could be retained whether the area is used for parking or 
for a park.  Landscaping can also soften the effect of a parking 
area.



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



Motion --	Kamen moved that the City Manager provide the Council with 
necessary information including the cost of surfacing parking 
and the number of parking spaces that could be made available, 
the architectural drawings for the facade and screening, the 
process necessary with regard to historic preservation 
requirements, the cost of the planned park, how much has been 
donated (and by whom) toward the pocket park.  The information 
should be provided on or before the CIP budget hearing time.



Mayor Knight	Mayor Knight said that if there is serious consideration to 
amending the present plans the public needs to be engaged before 
there is Council determination.

	The City Council approved the Fox Pointe 2nd 
Addition development on March 26, 1996.



	The proposed Agreement between the City and

design of Lateral 130, War Industries Sewer; Storm Water Sewer 
No. 474; and Water Distribution System No. 448-89019 (west of 
Webb, south of 29th).  Because MKEC provided subdivision

the Northwest Transmission Facility (water main from the Hess 
Pumping Station to Hoover Road) and on April 4, 1995, the City

water line in conjunction with a pedestrian bicycle bridge 
across the river west of Cowtown near Riverside Medical Center 
and on November 14, 1995, the City Council approved a 
Supplemental Agreement with PEC to design the bridge.



	Because this project ties into other proposed 
aesthetic improvements (Riverbank Improvements, Arkansas River

PEC to prepare additional plans for lighting and bike path 
improvements.



	Payment to PEC will be made on a lump sum

FOR JPTA SERVICES.



	Agenda Report No. 96-339.



	The City of Wichita is a Grant 
Recipient/Program Administrator for the Job Training Partnership 
Act (JTPA) in Service Delivery Area (SDA) IV which comprises the 
counties of Butler, Cowley, Sumner, Harper, Kingman and 
Sedgwick.  The Private Industry Council (PIC) of SDA IV provides 
policy guidance for the use of JTPA funds in this area.  The 
City of Wichita, PIC, and the Hugo Wall School of Urban and 
Public Affairs, Wichita State University have a three party 
contract for the Hugo Wall School to provide oversight and 
consulting services for JTPA related activities.  The current 
contract terminates June 30, 1996 but contains an option to 
renew the contract for one additional one year period.  PIC and 
the Hugo Wall School have agreed to exercise the contract 
extension clause for one year, July 1, 1996, through June 30, 
1997.  All other terms of the present contract would remain the 
same.



	The terms of the present contract include the 
Hugo Wall School agreeing to have a representative present at 
all PIC meetings, at certain PIC committee meetings, and at 
meetings of the Kansas Council on Employment and Training; 
review and analyze all documentation submitted by the grant 
recipients to PIC; provide consultation with and written 
recommendations to PIC members; and facilitate the annual PIC 
planning retreat.



	The maximum contract amount is for $18,996.  
JTPA funds are used to pay for contract services and the 
contract amendment obligates no general fund moneys.

	Agenda Report No. 96-340.

the proposal of the YWCA to provide services for female victims 
of domestic violence, and a one year contract was implemented 
July 1, 1995. 



	Because of staff changes, funds budgeted for 
salaries are underspent.  Cost of Worker's Compensation has also 
declined.  The YWCA desires to transfer $14,457 of Personal 
Services' funds to Contractual Services and Commodities to pay 
other operating expenses of the Women's Crisis Center.



	There is no change in the contract amount of 
$151,200.

CENTURY II/LIBRARY	CENTURY II/LIBRARY HEATING AND COOLING EQUIPMENT ENERGY PLANT. 
(District VI)



	Agenda Report No. 96-341.



	The City of Wichita had an Agreement with 
Stormont Trice Corporation, Stormont Trice Development 
Corporation and Stormont Trice Management Corporation to provide 
cooling, water heating and related services for the Hyatt-
Regency Hotel in a new combined energy plant.  On March 5, 1996, 
the City Council approved $2,535,000 as the City's share and 
$2,103,000 as the Hotel's share.  Renovation of the existing 
plant was scheduled for 1995, but this work was abandoned in 
light of the Hotel involvement.  The Hotel Developers have now 
stated that they prefer to install equipment in the hotel 
building which will provide the heating and cooling needed by 
the hotel and not be a part of a combined energy plant. 



	The City of Wichita had engaged Professional 
Engineering Consultants, P.A. (PEC) to provide architectural and 
engineering services related to the energy plant construction.  
The design for the combined plant was essentially completed and 
ready for bid.  The elimination of the new building now results 
in the need for some redesign work. 



	The original Century II/Library/Expo Hall 
equipment must still be replaced.  It is now more economical to 
renovate the City's existing energy plant rather than to 
construct a new plant.  The existing Contract with PEC provides 
for these services in an amount not to exceed $205,052.  Because 
the initial design was for a combined energy plant, redesign 
work will need to be done on the existing plant.  A Contract 
Amendment is submitted for approval which increases the Contract 
by $50,903 to $255,955.



	The Capital Improvement Program (PB-129) has 
a total of $4,638,000 for construction of a new combined energy 
plant.  The City is responsible for $2,535,000 in General 
Obligation Bonds, with the rest to be amortized and paid back by 
the Hotel Developers.  The deletion of a combined energy plant 
results in the funds identified as Other being reduced from 
$2,103,000 to $500,000 for a total revised budget of $3,035,000.



Motion --	Knight moved that the Contract Amendment be approved and the 
Mayor be authorized

MHRS/WIC CHDO APP.	MENNONITE HOUSING REHABILITATION SERVICES (MHRS) AND WICHITA 
INDOCHINESE CENTER (WIC)COMMUNITY HOUSING DEVELOPMENT 
ORGANIZATION (CHDO) APPLICATION FOR HOME FUNDS PROGRAM. 
(District III)                                                                       

	Agenda Report No. 96-342.



	On March 14, 1995, the City Council awarded 
1995 HOME funds as part of the City's allocation of Consolidated 
Planning Grant Funds.  The Council approved awarding $450,000 in 
1995 HOME CHDO funds to joint projects in Planeview and Midtown 
North, in a partnership between Mennonite Housing Rehabilitation 
Services, Inc., (MHRS) and the Wichita Indochinese Center, Inc., 
(WIC).  



	City staff from several departments, as well 
as MHRS, WIC, and the Enterprise Foundation under the HOME 
Technical Assistance Program, have been working together to 
develop location and development strategies.  The Planeview 
Development Strategy will be used to guide this and companion 
projects as they develop.



	This proposed project is a partnership 
between WIC, MHRS, and the City of Wichita.  The project will 
acquire houses and lots in Planeview and build or rehabilitate 
the homes for sale to low-and moderate-income home buyers.  The 
properties will be acquired and rehabilitated by MHRS and their 
partners.  



	The funding will act as a revolving loan fund 
for the purchase and rehabilitation of the units.  After the 
units are sold with conventional financing, $15,000 in 
assistance will be available to home buyers in the form of a 
grant or zero-interest, deferred-payment loan.  The assistance 
can be used for down payment, closing costs, and modifications 
for accessibility.  Some of the buildings acquired may be 
demolished and developed as green spaces and off-street parking.

 

	Funding for this award will be allocated from 
the FY 1995 HOME Investment Partnerships Program Budget in the 
amount of $225,000.00. This project will commence with Bank 
financing, HOME funds, and Federal Home Loan Bank funding. 



	A program of this size is subject to Davis-
Bacon Act wage requirements.    



Motion --	Knight moved that the project agreement be approved and the 
Mayor be authorized to sign; and an amendment to the 1995 Home 
Program Description reflecting the

       -- carried	grant award be approved.  Motion carried 6 to

PROGRAM. (District VI)                                                                       

	Agenda Report No. 96-342.



	On March 14, 1995, the City Council awarded 
1995 HOME funds as part  of the City's allocation of 
Consolidated Planning Grant Funds.  The Council approved 
awarding $450,000 in 1995 HOME CHDO funds to joint projects in 
Planeview and Midtown North in a partnership between Mennonite 
Housing Rehabilitation Services, Inc., (MHRS) and the Wichita 
Indochinese Center, Inc., (WIC).



	MHRS is ready to proceed with the Midtown 
North project as originally  submitted to City Council.  The 
MHRS proposal addressed five (5) of the top 20 needs identified 
in the 1995-1996 Consolidated Plan.



	MHRS will acquire houses and lots in the 
Neighborhood Initiative area of Midtown North, concentrating on 
census tracts 1, 2, 3, and 82.  Homes will be built and 
rehabilitated for very low-income families through Neighborhood 
Homes, the affordable home ownership program of MHRS.  All 
families will be at 50% or lower of the area median income and 
must attend home ownership training.  HOME money will be used 
for acquisition, rehabilitation and home buyer assistance.  A 
maximum of $15,000 ($12,500) will remain with the property.



	Funding for the project will be allocated 
from the FY 1995 HOME Investment Partnerships Program Budget in 
the amount of $225,000.  MHRS will match this project with no 
less than $95,000 of its own funds, nonfederal grant-in-kind 
services.

	Agenda Report No. 96-344.



	The Kansas Criminal Justice Coordinating 
Council administers the Edward Byrne Memorial State and Local 
Law Enforcement Assistance Grant which grant provides federal 
assistance to states and local units of governments for law 
enforcement programs in 26 approved categories.



	The proposed grant application is to be

Offender Program is to make Wichita a safer community by 
reducing the number of crimes committed by repeat offenders.



	The proposed grant application is for $31,800

	Agenda Report No. 96-346.



	The East Kellogg/Oliver Improvement Project 
received final approval and findings of no significant impact on 
all historic and environmental issues from the Federal 
Government in September 1995 and the City was given permission 
to begin active acquisition in the corridor.  At the time of the 
granting of permission, there were 54 tracts not under contract.  
Council approved the hiring of Land Acquisitions, Inc. to 
negotiate the remaining property acquisitions and relocations.  
One of the parcels to be acquired is located at 443 South 
Terrace (North 60 feet of Lots 7 and 8, Block 10 in Lincoln 
Heights Addition to Wichita) and is owned by Mary E. Mouser.  
The property has 7,800 square feet of land and is improved with 
a 1,889 square foot single family residence.  The property is 
currently occupied by the owner.  

	

	The acquisition was appraised at $105,000 and 
the review appraiser concurred with this value.  This amount was 
offered to the owner and accepted.  As this acquisition has been 
approved as part of the Kellogg/Oliver Interchange Project, 
Federal funds will be available to offset 80% of the the 
transaction cost.  The subject tract was approved for 
condemnation but continued negotiations proved successful. 



	Funds have been budgeted in the 1994 Capital 
Improvement Program.  The funding source will be General 
Obligation bonds paid by local sales tax revenues.  A budget of 
$152,000 includes: $105,000 for acquisition, $5,000 for eventual 
demolition, $40,000 for relocation and $2,000 for closing costs, 
title insurance, etc.



	Council action has approved $17,781,134 of 
Local Sales Tax for right-of-way acquisition for this project.  
There is also $8,820,000 of Federal funds earmarked for 
acquisitions on an 80%/20% basis for a total budget of 
$26,601,134.  The total project encompasses 75 acquisitions.  
Excluding pending Council action, 34 parcels have been acquired, 
one is under contract, and the rest are in condemnation.  Total 
expenditures to date total $5,657,552.  An additional $568,388 
has been approved for a total encumbrance of $6,255,940.

	SETTLEMENT OF EMINENT DOMAIN APPEAL--CASE 
#95C89 (WESTLINK ROLLING HILLS PROJECT). (District V)                                                                      

	Agenda Report No. 96-348.



	In July 1994, the City acquired, by eminent 
domain, an easement for drainage and sewer purposes from two 
properties along the Westlink-Rolling Hills tributary.  Both 
property owners appealed the court award in this condemnation.  
The City has settled the appeal of one owner and the second 
owner has made a proposal to settle his appeal.  The appeal is 
being handled for the City by its outside eminent domain 
counsel.  Trial is set for this summer.



	The City paid a court award of $16,500 to 
acquire this easement.  The landowners' expert appraisal witness 
values the easement taken by the City at $84,000.  The City's 
expert appraisal witness values the easement at $6,000.  The 
costs of trial will be approximately $10,000 and almost all of 
this cost will be avoided if the case is settled..  The owners 
have agreed to accept an additional $13,500 to dismiss their 
appeal.  An additional consideration is a defect in the title to 
the City's prior easement for this drainageway.  The landowners 
have agreed to execute such documents as are necessary to clean 
up the title defects  and to make clear that the City has an 
easement for both drainage and sanitary sewer purposes.



	The costs of the settlement will be paid from 
the public works project.



Motion --	Knight moved that the settlement payment of $13,500.00 be 
approved.  Motion

       -- carried	carried 6 to 0.  (Rogers absent)




	PAYMENT OF LANDOWNERS' FEES AND EXPENSES--
COLE MOWER (ICE RINK).  (District VI)



	Agenda Report No. 96-349.



	In September of 1995, the City filed eminent 
domain proceedings to acquire the property at the southwest 
corner of McLean and Maple in connection with the Ice Rink 
Project.  In December, the City Council decided to abandon the 
acquisition because the award of the court-appointed appraisers 
was too high.



	Upon abandonment of an eminent domain 
proceeding after the filing of the award of the court-appointed 
appraisers, the City is obligated to pay the landowners' 
reasonable costs and expenses (including attorney fees).  The 
court has established these reasonable costs and expenses to be 
$10,000.



	The costs are part of the redevelopment 
portion of the Ice Rink Project and will be paid from those 
project costs.  



	The City is obligated to pay the judgment 
forthwith or interest will accumulate at the rate of 10% per 
annum.



Motion --	Knight moved that payment of the judgment for costs and expenses 
in the amount of

       -- carried	$10,000 in Case No. 95 C 2500 be authorized.  
Motion carried 6 to 0.  (Rogers absent)

	On October 8, 1985, the City Council approved 
the issuance of $1,900,000 in Industrial Revenue Bonds, Series 
XVI-1985, to finance the purchase of land, machinery and 
equipment and to expand its facilities through the construction 
of two metal buildings consisting of 20,000 and 15,000 square 
feet located adjacent to the existing Casco facility to be 
leased to and operated by Casco, Inc.



	On July 21, 1987, the City Council approved 
the purchase by Casco of a portion of the unimproved land under 
the bond issue and on May 22, 1990, the City Council approved 
the assignment of the Lease from Casco, Inc. to Casco Plastics, 
Inc.



	Under the provisions of Article XVII, 
Sections 17.1 and 17.2 of the Lease Agreement for the bond 
series, Casco Plastics, Inc. has the option, if all outstanding 
bonds have been paid, to purchase the facility from the City of 
Wichita for the sum of $100.  The City of Wichita on April 5, 
1996, received a notice from Casco Plastics, Inc. of its 
intention to exercise its option to purchase the facility.



	Under the terms of the Lease, the City is 
required to convey the real property and facility securing the 
IRB issue to the Tenant, once the Tenant has paid the purchase 
price and other considerations as listed under the provisions of 
the Lease Agreement, including the payment of all outstanding 
bonds.  The City has received a check in the sum of $100 from 
the Casco Plastics, Inc. which represents the purchase price for 
the facility.  The City has also been notified by the Trustee, 
Bank IV, N.A., in a letter dated April 1, 1996, that all the 
Company's Lease obligations and all the outstanding bonds have 
been paid in full in accordance with their terms.



	The purchase price is $100 and other 
considerations as listed under the provision of the Lease 
Agreement to redeem and retire all outstanding bonds.  This 
price includes without limitations, principal, interest, 
redemption premium, and all other expenses of redemption, and 
trustee fees, but after the deduction of any amounts described 
and provided for in the Lease Agreement and available for such 
redemption.



	The City is contractually bound to convey the 
IRB Project property to the Tenant by special warranty deed, 
once all the conditions established in the Lease have been met.

Deed and Termination of Lease Agreement and authorizing the 
Mayor to sign, be adopted.

SWIMMING POOL REPAIRS	BONDING RESOLUTION FOR SWIMMING POOL REPAIRS.



	Agenda Report No. 96-352.



	At the April 9, 1996, meeting, City Council 
approved capital funding in the amount of $70,300 to be used for 
repairs to various municipal swimming pools.  The Park 
Department requests that the Resolution be approved and signed 
by the Mayor so that bonds may be issued by the City of Wichita 
to make these funds available for the approved repairs.



	The City Council has determined that funds 
should be made available for repairs to swimming pools in 1996, 
with a cost not to exceed $100,000.  It was further determined, 
after receiving an estimate of needed repairs to various 
swimming pools that funds from general obligation bonds in the 
amount of $70,300 would be used for these repairs.   The funds 
will allow "emergency" repairs to ensure the safety of pool 
patrons in 1996, but are not sufficient to completely 
rehabilitate the pool system. 



	General obligation bonds will be issued by 
the City of Wichita in the amount of $70,300 to cover estimated 
costs for swimming pool repairs.



Motion -- carried	Knight moved that the bonding resolution be adopted. Motion

	MAPC Recommendation:	Approve plat. (8-1) 



	Petitions, all 100%, have been submitted for 
sanitary sewer, municipal water, and paving improvements.  A 
Certificate of Petitions has also been submitted.  In order to 
provide for the ownership and maintenance of Reserves, the 
applicant has submitted a restrictive covenant.  To provide for 
off-street parking, for lots adjacent to narrow streets, this 
covenant also requires that four (4) off- street spaces be 
provided  for each such lot.  In order to allow for the platting 
of a street with a narrow or nonstandard right-of-way 
dedication, a 15-foot street, drainage, and utility easement was 
platted with this restrictive covenant also restricting how this 
easement can be used.  In order to assure access among the lots 
of this Addition, cross-lot circulation agreements have been 
provided.  A zone change (Z-3155) from "R-5" ("MF-18") to "LC" 
("LC") zoning has been approved for this site subject to 
platting.  This plat has been reviewed and approved by the 
Planning Commission, subject to conditions and recording within 
30 days.  The negative MAPC vote was in regard to the platting 
of areas involving floodways and/or floodplains.
