	PUBLIC AGENDA

	Peter Austin - Fair Fares Campaign.

Peter Austin	Peter Austin, employee of an airline, spoke against Fair Fares as a campaign that works against other airlines within Wichita.  Mr. Austin asked that the City Council not set a preference for any one air company, and that the Agreement with AirTran be canceled.

Mayor Knight	Mayor Knight said he had personally met with most of the major airlines requesting reasonable airfares in and out of Wichita.  The airlines did not respond.  There are only 13 or 14 cities with more expensive airfares than Wichita.  The City is losing business because of airfare rates.

FESTIVAL	CONSIDERATION OF PROPOSED FESTIVAL ORDINANCES.
	(Continued from March 19, 2002)

Gary Rebenstorf	Director of Law reviewed the Item.

	Agenda Report No. 02-1134.

	Wichita River Festivals Inc. requests changes to current ordinances.  The ordinances would essentially make three substantive changes: (1). Recognize Wichita Festivals Inc. as the sponsoring organization for events and activities in addition to the annual River Festival; (2).  Permit admission to be charged for events related to the annual River Festival held on City park property; and (3).  Permit street and sidewalk vending as part of its permit without making separate application for each separate event. 

	The Wichita River Festival currently has its own application and permit procedure established by ordinance.  The proposed changes would make this process applicable to other events sponsored by Wichita Festivals Inc. and would allow the organization to conduct other activities under its issued permits.  The changes would also allow street and sidewalk vending to be included in its permit process without the necessity for separate application.

	Current City Ordinances applicable to City Park and Recreation facilities prohibit the charging of admission for events held on City Park and Recreation property if areas on park property are closed off to the general public.  The proposed amendment would permit admission only for River Festival events and on specific sites approved by the Park and Recreation Department.  The Board of Park Commissioners conducted a hearing on March 11, 2002 and approved this concept.  However, the board wanted a review of the final draft of the ordinances at its April meeting. 

	The Park Board reviewed and approved the proposed Ordinances.

Motion - 	Knight moved that the Ordinances be placed on first reading. 

Council Member Martz	Council Member Martz requested a one-week deferral.

Amended Motion - carr.	Knight moved an amended motion that the Item be deferred to April 16, 2002.  Motion carried 7 to 0.



	NEW BUSINESS

PAVING	PETITION TO PAVE WIEDEMANN AND CHAUTEAU STREETS IN K.T. WIEDEMANN BUSINESS PARK - SOUTH OF KELLOGG, WEST OF GREENWICH.  (District II)

Mike Lindebak	City Engineer reviewed the Item.

	Agenda Report No. 02-1253

	The signatures on the Petition represent 2 of 3 (66.6%) resident owners and 90.18% of the improvement district area.  The project was discussed by the District II Advisory Board on March 18, 2002.  The Board voted 8-0 to recommend approval.

	The project will provide paved access to a partially developed commercial addition.

	The project budget contained in the Petition is $244,000 with the total assessed to the improvement district.  The method of assessment is the fractional basis.  The estimated assessment to individual properties ranges from $12,050 to $56,400 per lot.

	Legal Considerations: State Statutes provide that a Petition is valid if signed by a majority of resident property owners, or by the owners of the majority of the property in the improvement district.

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

Mr. Treadwell	Mr. Treadwell, property owner, questioned the purpose of the replat, and whether the replat was a requirement of the City.

Mike Lindebak	City Engineer explained that he was not aware of any hidden agendas.  The original plat had loop streets and the owner now wants cul-de-sac streets.  The new street design should reduce rather than increase costs.  The new design is also compatible with future Kellogg development.

Motion -- carried	Pisciotte moved that the Petition be approved and the Resolution be adopted.  Motion carried 7 to 0.

					RESOLUTION NO. 02-195

	Resolution of findings of advisability and Resolution authorizing improving Wiedemann from Kellogg Frontage Road South 565 feet and Chateau Street from Kellogg Frontage Road South 738 Feet (south of Kellogg, west of Greenwich) 472-83525, in the City of Wichita, Kansas, pursuant to findings of advisability made by the Governing Body of the City of Wichita, Kansas, presented.

BUTTONWOOD	PUBLIC HEARING ON THE ISSUANCE OF TAX-EXEMPT MULTI-FAMILY HOUSING REVENUE BONDS - BUTTONWOOD TREE APARTMENTS.  (District II)

Allen Bell	Financial Projects Director reviewed the Item.

	Agenda Report 02-1254

	On April 2, 2002, the City Council approved first reading of an Ordinance for issuance Tax-Exempt Multi-Family Housing Revenue Bonds to Buttonwood Tree L.L.C., in an amount not-to-exceed $7,750,000.  The proceeds of the proposed bonds will be used to finance the cost of acquisition and rehabilitation of an existing 216-unit apartment project known as Buttonwood Tree Apartments, located at 9211 East Harry in southeast Wichita.  City Council previously approved a resolution in support of the developer's application for Low-Income Housing Tax Credits.  Due to changes from the original Letter of Intent and structure for the Multi-Family Housing Revenue Bonds, to satisfy the federal tax code, it is necessary to hold a new TEFRA Hearing.

	Pursuant to federal law, a public hearing ("TEFRA Hearing") was held at the time of approval of the Letter of Intent for this project.  Since the original Letter of Intent was approved, a change in tenant has taken place as well as other changes from the original proposed request.  To satisfy federal tax regulations, a new TEFRA Hearing is necessary.  Federal law requires a notice be published at least 14 days in advance of the hearing.  Because of this requirement, it became necessary to hold the TEFRA Hearing in conjunction with second reading of the bond ordinance.

	There is no financial impact on the City in publishing the notice.

	The public hearing held in conjunction with this item satisfies the TEFRA hearing requirement in the federal tax code for tax-exempt bonds.

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

Motion -- 	Pisciotte moved that the public hearing be closed and second reading of the Bond Ordinance authorizing the execution and delivery of documents for the issuance of Tax-Exempt Multi-Family 
              -- carried	Housing  Revenue Bonds in an amount of $7,750,000 be approved.  Motion carried 7 to 0.

					ORDINANCE NO. 45-286

An Ordinance authorizing the City of Wichita, Kansas, to issue its Multifamily Housing Revenue Bonds for the purpose of providing funds to acquire and rehabilitate a residential rental facility located in the City of Wichita, Kansas; and prescribing the form and authorizing execution of various documents relating to the issuance of and security for the Bonds, the lease of the facility, and the sale of the Bonds, read for the second time.  Pisciotte moved that the Ordinance be placed upon its passage and adopted.  Motion carried 7 to 0.  Yeas: Brewer, Fearey, Gale, Lambke, Martz, Pisciotte, Knight.


HUD	HUD CONSOLIDATED PLAN - 2002/2003 ONE-YEAR ACTION PLAN.

Tom Smith	Grants-in-Aid Coordinator reviewed the Item.

	Agenda Report No. 02-1255

	On March 5, 2002, the City Council approved funding allocations for the 2002/2003 Consolidated Plan. The preliminary One-Year Action Plan includes Community Development Block Grant funding allocations,  HOME Investment Partnership funds, and Emergency Shelter Grant funds.  To receive these federal funding allocations, HUD requires cities prepare a One-Year Action Plan listing projects and services to be undertaken, their location and proposed activities. The proposed One Year Action Plan must be submitted for public comment prior to final adoption by the City Council.

	The City's preliminary 2002/2003 One-Year Action Plan lists the federal resources expected to be available from various grant assistance programs to address priority needs (as adopted by the City Council), a description of the activities to be funded by the City Council, the geographic location of the activities and homeless, and other special needs and activities to be undertaken during the fiscal year. The 2002/2003 One-Year Action Plan covers the period beginning July 1, 2002 and ending June 30, 2003.

	On March 26, 2002, the City Council informally considered uses for prior year CDBG funding totaling $1,380,000. It is recommended the prior year funding be reallocated for Heartspring demolition, homeless facilities renovation, ADA improvements and deferred maintenance on City facilities.

	The 2002/2003 One-Year Action Plan totals $7,635,019 and is comprised of grant funds in the amount of $6,026,000, estimated income (primarily from revolving funds such as Historic Loans) of $219,000. The balance of funds includes funds from prior year projects.

The City has met all federal requirements to proceed with issuance of a preliminary One-Year Action Plan. A thirty-day public comment period is required, beginning April 11, 2002 and ending on May 10, 2002.

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

Motion --	Knight moved that reallocation of prior year funds, the additional projects, and the proposed 2002/2003 One-Year Action Plan as an amendment to the City's Consolidated Plan be approved; and 
	implementation of the public comment period be authorized.

Substitute Motion --	Fearey moved that reallocation of prior year funds, additional funds, and proposed 2002/2003 one-year action plan be approved to read as follows:

ASSEMBLY REPORT	WICHITA ASSEMBLY REPORT.

Cathy Holdeman	City Manager's Office reviewed the Item.

Mike Hill	Mike Hill presented the Assembly results.

	Agenda Report No. 02-1256

	The Wichita Assembly: Community Reconnection: A New Beginning for Offenders convened on the Wichita State University campus on February 1 and 2, 2002.  The purpose of the Assembly was to provide a forum where community members representing social and housing services, criminal justice, neighborhoods, business, education, government and the religious community could discuss the challenges associated with offenders re-entering the community.  Participants were provided with background papers on offender re-entry issues. The Assembly included guest speakers who provided insight on how to address the needs and concerns of offenders, victims and law-abiding citizens. Additionally, the Assembly provided time for work groups to discuss and provide recommendations on housing, employment, community services and community safety issues.

	The participants of the Wichita Assembly provided recommendations in four areas: Community Safety; Employment; Community Services; and Housing.  The recommendations recognized the need for a public private partnership that engages the entire community.  In each of the four areas, participants recommended the need for an Offender Re-entry Task Force to be appointed by the City of Wichita and Sedgwick County for the purpose of reviewing and implementing the recommendations generated at the Assembly and evaluating the effectiveness of existing boards.

	Participants also recommended the development of re-entry plans for offenders and the creation of advocacy teams to help establish effective programs for offenders. They concluded that stronger relationships need to be developed with the business community to identify employment and training opportunities for offenders. In addition, the community needs to work to develop a better service delivery network for offenders and to also develop a means for victim-offender reconciliation. Finally, the participants determined that the community needs to work to develop affordable housing and to increase communication to area residents to remove stereotypes and the fear associated with offenders returning to the community.

	Agenda Report No. 02-1262

	Wichita Indochinese Center (WIC) and Mennonite Housing Rehabilitation Services (MHRS), city designated Community Housing Development Organizations, were awarded HOME funding by the City Council in the amount of $225,000, April 23, 1996.  WIC is the primary agent with MHRS providing construction services. The HOME funding is to be utilized by the agencies to create affordable housing opportunities in the Planeview Local Investment Area.  

	WIC and MHRS have requested amendment of the funding agreement in order to complete additional projects under the agreement.  At this point, one single-family home has been completed.  Two additional sites were previously purchased for redevelopment.  The completed home is under contract and it is anticipated that closing will occur within the next 30 days.  Since HOME funds were utilized for purchase of the two additional sites, a HOME-eligible project must be completed at both sites.  The agencies are requesting an extension of the construction completion period, until June 30, 2003.

	The contract amendment will not provide for any additional funding, other than the amount originally approved by the Council.  The funding provided under this agreement is part of the City's mandatory HOME CHDO set-aside, and can only be re-allocated for other CHDO projects if not used for this project.

	HOME regulations require the completion of a project on sites acquired with HOME funding.  An amendment to the funding agreement will be approved as to form by the City Law Department.

NORTHWEST SEWER	NORTHWEST SEWER IMPROVEMENTS PROGRAM MANAGEMENT - SUPPLEMENTAL.  (District V)

	Agenda Report No. 02-1264

	On January 19, 1999, the City Council approved a plan for a new sewage treatment plant and improvements to serve northwest Wichita.  The selection of a consultant to perform project management tasks was approved on September 28, 1999.  Tasks included the development of plans, specifications, and project estimates for the design and construction phase.  Plans for the supporting sanitary sewers, lift stations, and water lines are being prepared.

	An interceptor sewer and 12-inch water line along 21st Street, from west of 119th Street west to 135th Street west, were to be located within the easement, adjacent to the street right-of-way.  The easement was to be obtained from the property owners and discussions led Staff to believe an agreement would be reached.  The property owners then decided that the tree removal was excessive to allow construction and negotiations stalled.

	Project completion is scheduled for 2002; therefore it is important to avoid further delay.  To avoid delay, it is necessary to redesign the water and sewer lines to allow construction within the existing street right-of-way.  Staff requested a Supplemental Agreement for the redesign from the project manager.

	The estimate for the construction of the treatment facility and improvements to the basins is $23.1 million.  The Supplemental Agreement No. 2 is for $29,217.  Funding is available in CIP S-512, Northwest Sewage Treatment Plant and Basins 1, 2, 3.  The project will be funded by revenues and/or bond sales.

Northeast/North Central Redevelopment Project, $230,000, with a total project cost of $1,071,400.  Hilltop Redevelopment Project, $185,000, with a total project cost of $511,500.  MHRS utilizes private sector construction loans in order to leverage the HOME funding allocations.  Relocation expenses and Developer fees are eligible HOME program expenses.  Additional HOME funding has not been requested and will not be provided under the agreements.  Funding levels are sufficient to provide for the additional expenses.

	The amendments to the funding agreements will be approved as to form by the City Law Department.

WATER	WATER RECYCLING AND RE-USE PROFESSIONAL SERVICES.

	Agenda Report No. 02-1266

	As the conservation of water becomes more critical, the need to examine the feasibility and beneficial reuse of recycling water resources has become necessary and timely. Millions of gallons of usable water are daily discharged from public and private ground water clean-up projects, municipal wastewater treatment plants, and various commercial and industrial activities. City Staff is suggesting that such water resources that are now discharged into the sanitary sewers, storm sewers and the water ways in the City that may have a have potential re-use be evaluated. Staff is proposing that the current and future quantity and quality of these water resources within the community be determined along with the feasibility for re-use and recycling of this water for various activities such as irrigation, industrial process water, heating and cooling, fire-fighting, water features, commercial car washing, industrial boilers, concrete manufacturing, and other beneficial uses. To initiate this study, Staff issued requests for proposals to professional environmental engineering firms (Council's direction on January 18, 2002).

	In response to the request for proposals the City received four (4) four water re-use and recycling proposals from environmental engineering firms.  The Staff Screening and Selection Committee met on March 28, 2002 and interviewed all four of the firms who submitted proposals.  CDM's proposal best addressed all of the tasks outlined and provided a number of innovative approaches regarding the use of both groundwater remediation water as well as gray water from wastewater treatment sources.  Based on these interviews and review of the proposals the Committee is recommending the firm of Camp Dresser and McKee (CDM) to conduct the water re-use feasibility study.

	Cost of the proposed feasibility study is estimated to be less than $60,000.

	A contract defining the scope of services will need to be negotiated and approved as to from by the Law Department.

WATER MAIN	INSTALLATION OF WATER MAIN IN KELLOGG FROM SEVILLE TO 119TH STREET WEST.  (District V)

	Agenda Report No. 02-1267

	The City of Wichita provides treated drinking water to 368,000 people.  The service population is projected to increase to over 450,000 by 2010.  To ensure that future water needs of the service area are met, the Water and Sewer Department initiated a study of its water system.  The Water System Master Plan was completed in November 1999, with a number of significant system improvements recommended to ensure adequate service levels now and in the future.

	The western portion of the City is expanding resulting in the necessity to extend a 16" water line along Kellogg to 119th Street west.  This will increase volume and stabilize pressure for that portion of the water system.  The original concept was to extend a single 16" main along the north side of Kellogg to serve properties on both sides of Kellogg; however, installation of water service lines under the Kellogg Freeway is no longer allowed by the Kansas Department of Transportation.  Water lines will now be required on both sides of Kellogg to serve the adjacent properties.  Coinciding with the Kellogg paving project, a 16" water main will be constructed along the north side and smaller 12" and 8" mains installed under Kellogg to provide service to the south side.  Construction will be at a reduced cost compared to installing water lines after the completion of the Kellogg project.

	This project was approved as part of the 2001 CIP for $950,000. Since water lines will now be required on both sides of Kellogg, the current estimate is $2.1 million.  The project will be funded from Water Utility revenues and reserves, and/or a future revenue bond issue.

EPA	SECURITY PLANNING GRANT APPLICATION - EPA.

	Agenda Report No. 02-1268

	In response to the attacks of September 11, 2001, the EPA received a supplemental appropriation from Congress to improve the safety and security of the nation's water supply.  The appropriation of $89 million is intended to reduce the vulnerability of water utilities to terrorist attacks and to enhance their security and ability to respond to emergency situations.  On March 31, 2002, the EPA announced financial assistance available to large drinking water utilities.  The City of Wichita is one of the jurisdictions eligible to apply for up to $115,000 in funding.  Grant funds may be used to pay for the vulnerability assessment that is being conducted by HDR.  Applications are due by April 29, 2002.

	The City has prepared a grant application for funding for submission to the EPA.  The value of the grant will not exceed $115,000.  The monies may be used to develop a vulnerability assessment (VA), emergency response/operating plan (EOP), security enhancement plans and designs, or any combination of these.

	The City is requesting a total of $115,000 in grant funds.  The Wichita Water and Sewer Agreement with HDR is not to exceed $149,600.  The grant does not require matching funds, and no local funds are required.

EXIGENCY PUR.	EXIGENCY PURCHASE - LOADING BRIDGE.

	Agenda Report No. 02-1269

	Gate 12 at Wichita Mid Continent Airport has been designated as the AirTran gate.  The gate can facilitate two aircraft overnight.  Gate 12 needs a loading bridge prior to the start of service from AirTran on May 8, 2002.  Airtran and the Airport staff have located one (1) refurbished 60/119 Jetway Loading Bridge to support AirTran opening date.

	The City Manager approved the purchase of the loading bridge through the issuance of an emergency Purchase Order.

	The Purchase Order was issued to Ambridge Services for $174,000.

INTERNET PERMITS	PERMITS ON THE INTERNET - CENTRAL INSPECTION.

	Agenda Report No. 02-1270

	The Office of Central Inspection (OCI) currently uses the Tidemark permitting and development tracking system for building, trade and sign permits, and to issue and track contractor business licenses, testing and certifications.  Contractors and homeowners communicate and make application with OCI via telephone, fax, or by coming to OCI offices in City Hall.  Each year, OCI issues about 8,000 permits for residential and commercial building construction, remodeling and repair; about 19,000 permits for electrical, plumbing, sewer or mechanical work; and about 1,500 permits for business signs.  Each year, OCI also issues about 2,500 contractor business licenses and about 5,500 electrical, plumbing, sewer and electrical trade certificates.

	Technology has recently become available to allow permits and licenses to be applied for and issued over the Internet.  Permitting on the Internet would allow contractors and homeowners another, more efficient way to conduct business with the City.  OCI staff could check applications and issue permits electronically, and customers would be able to receive permits and make payments from their computers.  Customers would also have the ability to check the status of permits and permit activity, and to schedule and cancel permit inspections over the Internet.   The technology could also be expanded to allow customers and citizens the ability to check the status of Planning Department cases and/or to electronically submit comments on Planning Department cases being tracked by the Tidemark system, or to submit neighborhood code enforcement complaints into the Tidemark system via the Internet.

	The Wichita Area Builders Association (WABA) supports the project.  WABA surveyed their membership earlier in 2001, and their support is based on the results of that survey and subsequent follow-up meetings between City staff and the WABA Industry Board.  The City's IT/IS Advisory Board reviewed and recommended the project at their January 9, 2002 meeting.

	Purchase and installation of the software and hardware required to submit, issue and track permits, licenses and certificates on the Internet is estimated to cost about $205,000.  Funds are available in the OCI fund.  Reserving funds in a project account would allow OCI and Information Technology staff to begin the upgrade process prior to adoption of the 2002 Revised budget.

	Budget transfers over $10,000 require City Council approval.

VAC2001-00060	VAC2001-00060 - VACATE 20-FOOT UTILITY EASEMENT SOUTHWEST OF THE WEST HARRY/SOUTH MARKET STREETS INTERSECTION.  (District III)

	Agenda Report No. 02-1278

	Staff Recommendation:	Approve.
	MAPC Recommendation:	Approve. (unanimous)

	The applicant is requesting to vacate a 20-foot, north-south utility easement, located south of Harry Market Street and on Main Street.  The applicant proposes to expand the existing Harry Street Elementary School.  City departments and representatives of the private utilities have reviewed the vacation request and have determined the easement can be vacated with the relocation or guarantee of the relocation of the manhole in the easement.  The applicant has provided a guarantee.

	No one spoke in opposition to this request at the MAPC's advertised public hearing, and the MAPC voted to approve the vacation, adopting the findings of fact that are incorporated in the Vacation Order.  No written protests have been filed.

	A certified copy of the Vacation Order will be recorded with the Register of Deeds.

VAC2001-00002	VAC2002-00002 - VACATE ALLEY SOUTHEAST OF THE MERIDIAN AVENUE SOUTH/IRVING STREET INTERSECTION.

	Agenda Report No. 02-1279

	Staff Recommendation:	Approve.
	MAPC Recommendation:	Approve. (unanimous)

	The applicants are requesting that the platted 20-foot alley be vacated.  The vacation of the alley would extend the applicants' property lines to the middle of the alley, an additional 10 feet for the 3 properties.  The vacated alley would move the interior side yard setback on all 3 properties.  This would allow the applicant, the City of Wichita, on the north side to build a fire station without encroaching into the interior side setback.  City Departments and Representatives of the private utilities have reviewed the vacation request and have determined that there are utilities in the alley; therefore the alley will be retained as an easement.

	No one spoke in opposition to this request at the MAPC's advertised public hearing, and the MAPC voted to approve the vacation, adopting the findings of fact that are incorporated in the Vacation Order.  No written protests have been filed.

	A certified copy of the Vacation Order will be recorded with the Register of Deeds.

AIRPORT	SUPPLEMENTAL AGREEMENT NO. 3 - SKYCAP SERVICES.

	Agenda Report No. 02-1281

	Harrison Armstrong has managed the skycap operation on Wichita Mid-Continent Airport for a number of years as an independent contractor.  Mr. Armstrong is responsible for managing the program, maintaining adequate staffing, and providing baggage handling and passenger assistance services to the general public, from 5:00 a.m. until 10:30 p.m. on a daily basis.

	Provision of this service as a management arrangement, allows the WAA to contract with an individual on an independent contractor basis, and assigns the responsibility for the supervision of those employees to that individual.  Mr. Armstrong is responsible for hiring and training these individuals, as well as assuring that payment of employees and working conditions are in accordance with all applicable wage and hour and other employment laws.  The supplement is through November 30, 2002.  At that time, the associated costs for maintenance of this program will be reviewed and submitted for approval.

	Cost to the WAA for the management of this program is $82.01 per day.  This is a slight decrease from the previous period, and reflects the current cost of providing this service.  In the event that increased coverage is required, an additional $3,000 is included in the supplement, which would allow adjustment of the daily rate, if the increase can be substantiated.

Motion -- 	Knight moved that the Agreement be approved and the necessary signatures be authorized.  Motion
             -- carried	carried 7 to 0.


AIRPORT	WICHITA MID-CONTINENT AND COLONEL JAMES JABARA AIRPORTS TELEPHONE EQUIPMENT MAINTENANCE AGREEMENTS.

	Agenda Report 02-1282

	The Wichita Airport Authority (WAA) owns and operates the telephone systems on Mid-Continent and Jabara Airports.  Tenants are re-billed for use of the system equipment and for telecommunication services, which are purchased at a volume discount and resold with a markup that still results in a savings for the users.  Net revenues to the WAA are in excess of $300,000 per year.

	Two local companies provide maintenance with Rolm/Siemens certified technicians - Comm Link, Inc. and Siemens Communications.  Mr. John Herde, from Siemens Communications, informed airport personnel that Siemens was not interested in providing maintenance to the Mid-Continent Airport equipment because the CBXII is a product they no longer support. Additionally, Mr. Herde stated that Siemens elected not to bid for the Jabara Airport maintenance agreement.   Comm Link is the current provider of these services at both airports, and has been since 1996.

	The agreement amount for Mid-Continent Airport is $64,550.16, and $9,640.08 for Jabara Airport.  These amounts are identical to the amounts included in last year's agreements.  Funds are included in the current operating budget for this service.  The agreements are for one year and include a 60-day termination and payment cancellation clause.

Motion -- 	Knight moved that the Agreements be approved as sole source supply and the necessary signatures be 
             -- carried	authorized. Motion carried 7 to 0.


AIRPORT	TIME SAVER - LIMOUSINE SERVICE.

	Agenda Report No. 02-1283

	In November 2000, Time Saver entered into an agreement with the Wichita Airport Authority to provide shuttle services to/from Wichita Mid-Continent Airport.  This company operated with a KCC license, transporting people from outlying Kansas communities to Wichita.  They did not have a license to transport customers within the City of Wichita, however.  Time Saver recently changed ownership, and the new owner is desirous of providing services within the Wichita area.  In order to provide this service, it is necessary to enter into an airport limousine agreement with the Wichita Airport Authority and obtain a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity to be approved by the City Council.

	Currently, Time Saver has four vans intended for use in this program.  The vehicles have been inspected by the Wichita Transit.  Services will include transportation within the City of Wichita and other Kansas communities.  Two other shuttle services and three taxicab companies now serve Wichita Mid-Continent Airport.

	Revenue to the WAA will be $100 per month ($50 for the opportunity to do business on the airport, and $50 for use of the phone board in the terminal building).

Motion -- 	Knight moved that the Agreement be approved and the necessary signatures be authorized.  Motion
             -- carried	carried 7 to 0.

(Item 31)
AIRPORT	LAND ACQUISITION BUDGET.

	Agenda Report No. 02-1284

	On April 10, 2001, the City Council approved a 2001 Capital Improvement Program  (CIP) project for pre-acquisition expenses associated with the planned purchase of land adjacent to Wichita Mid-Continent Airport.  An amount of $40,000 was approved to allow for preliminary costs such as appraisals, surveys and environmental assessment fees associated with the purchase of this land.

	During the pre-acquisition process, it has been determined additional legal fees and environmental expenses will be incurred. The property pre-acquisition process is being handled through the City of Wichita Property Management Department in accordance with AR 47 and FAA regulations.

	The additional expenses will cost approximately $65,000.  The 2002 CIP allows for land acquisition expenses. A portion of the costs will be eligible for reimbursement under the Federal AIP grant program and the Passenger Facility Charge program.  The remainder will be funded with General Obligation Bonds paid by airport revenues.  After the increase, the total budget for Mid-Continent Airport pre-acquisition expenses will be $105,000.
