Sharon Feary Sharon Feary, North 21st Street Economic Development Coalition, urged pursuit of a 21st Street Bridge over the floodway, and that 13th and 25th Streets bridges be removed from consideration. A 21st Street bridge would provide the most benefit to the City as a whole. The bridge is already scheduled to be rebuilt, fewer homes would need to be removed, and traffic volumes in front of retirement homes would not be increased. The corridor would go from county line to county line. The engineering firm that recommended a 13th Street bridge did not consider socio-economic factors. A Task Force including members from neighborhood associations, businesses, Midtown, retirement centers, and the City and County should be developed. The Task Force should consider new traffic counts and all ramifications, including the redesign of the bridge on Kellogg, even without the redesign of I-235. The Kellogg bridge improvement would encourage higher use of Kellogg. Karole Bradford – "Celebrate Safely Campaign." Karole Bradford Karole Bradford said the goal of the "Celebrate Safely Campaign" is to reduce random gunfire at midnight on New Years eve. There needs to be an awareness of the problem of the effects of bullets fired into the air.

A00-13 A00-13 ANNEXATION OF STREET RIGHTS-OF-WAY ADJACENT TO RAYTHEON AND A PORTION OF 119TH STREET WEST, SOUTH OF 21ST NORTH. (Districts II and V) Deferred from August 22, 2000. Steve Lackey Director of Public Works reviewed the Item. Agenda Report No. 00-0840 A. This Item was deferred at the August 22, 2000, City Council meeting. Recently the Public Works Departments of the City of Wichita and Sedgwick County reviewed the arterial streets on the periphery of the City to determine if certain arterial street segments should be annexed and maintained by the City of Wichita. Street segments were considered for annexation if, based on City policy, the street segment abuts the City for a ½ mile or more, or the property on both sides of the street is in the City. This review identified various segments adjacent to Raytheon and a segment of 119th Street West south of 21st Street North. 21st Street North: From Webb Road to Greenwich Road, this segment of 21st Street North proposed for annexation abuts the City for a ½ mile on one side (North). The remaining ½ mile segment is already within the City. Webb Road: From the St. Louis and San Francisco Railroad tracks south to Kellogg, two segments of Webb Road are proposed for annexation. These segments abut the City for more than a ½ mile on one side (West). The remaining segments of Webb Road are already within the City. Greenwich Road: From 21st Street North to Kellogg, two segments of Greenwich Road are proposed for annexation. These segments abut the City on one or both sides for approximately ½ mile or more (East), and the annexation of these segments makes for a more straight and harmonious boundary. 13th Street North: From approximately an 1/8 mile west of Greenwich to the City boundary east of K-96, a segment of 13th Street North is proposed for annexation. The City abuts on one or both sides of this segment (North and South), and the annexation of this segment makes for a more straight and harmonious boundary. Central: From Webb Road to Greenwich Road, two segments of Central are proposed for annexation. The City abuts these segments on one side for approximately ½ mile or more (North). 119th Street West: From 21st Street North to 13th Street North, the majority of 119th Street West is within the City. The remaining section, proposed for annexation, abuts the City on one or both sides (East and West). In addition, Sedgwick County has agreed to maintain segments of roads in eastern Sedgwick County until the City has annexed on both sides of the road in exchange for taking over the streets around Raytheon. This will allow for more efficient and logical service delivery from the City of Wichita and Sedgwick County Public Works Departments. Sedgwick County has also been willing to leave in their Capital Improvement Program the boundary arterial roads that would be subject to annexation. This has resulted in the City of Wichita annexing new and improved roads at the time the areas adjacent to the roads were annexed. The City Public Works Department estimates the annual maintenance costs of the street segments proposed for annexation to be $9,000 per lane mile. The street segments proposed for annexation are all 4-lane arterial roadways. The following shows the estimated annual maintenance cost by street segment: Street Segment Estimated Annual Maintenance Cost 21st Street North $18,000.00 Webb Road $72,000.00 Greenwich $72,000.00 13th Street North $18,000.00 Central $18,000.00 119th Street West $18,000.00 Total $216,000.00 Mayor Knight Mayor Knight inquired if anyone wished to be heard and no one appeared. Motion -- carried Martz moved that the annexation be approved and the Ordinance be placed on first reading. Motion carried 7 to 0. ORDINANCE An Ordinance including and incorporating certain blocks, parcels, and tracts of land within the limits and boundaries of the City of Wichita, Kansas, introduced and under the rules laid over. A 00-13 (The Council took up Item 15; action is shown in Agenda order.) TELECOMMUNICATION MASTER TELECOMMUNICATIONS ORDINANCE. Deferred from September 19, 2000. Jeanne Hernandez Internal Auditor reviewed the Item. Joseph Pajor Natural Resources Director reviewed issues of where facilities will be placed and excess capacity of conduit. Joe Lang First Assistant City Attorney summarized legal aspects of the Ordinance Council Member Rogers momentarily absent. Agenda Report No. 00-0921 A. On September 19th, the City Council considered the proposed the Master Telecommunications Ordinance. Action was deferred to allow Council further study and assurance the Ordinance meets current and future needs of the community. In developing the proposed Master Telecommunications Ordinance, Staff held educational meetings and considered comments from the telecommunications industry. Outside expertise in the telecommunications field was retained for consultation during the process. To assist the City in reviewing the issues raised by the City Council and industry, Public Technology, Inc. (PTI) was requested to apply its knowledge of telecommunications best practices in local governments and compare this information base to the proposed Ordinance under consideration by the City Council (PTI is the technology arm for the National League of Cities, the National Associations of Counties and the International City/County Managers Association). In PTI's opinion, the Proposed Master Telecommunication Ordinance contained the elements being adopted by cities nationally. Ron Marnell, former cable/telecom industry executive, reviewed the Ordinance and consulted with Staff. Comments and recommendations from Mr. Marnell's review are incorporated in the Ordinance today. City staff developed the Master Telecommunications Ordinance for the management of multiple telecommunication franchises. The Ordinance sets forth the elements of individual franchise agreements; each franchisee will be required to comply with the Ordinance. The benefits of such an Ordinance include the following: 1) Establishes local policy concerning telecommunication providers and services. (Once established, the Ordinance will facilitate competition and establish standards for the utilization of public rights-of-way); 2) Designed to protect the public interests and promote advanced telecommunication infrastructure; 3) Compensates the City for occupancy of the rights-of-way; 4) Requires all facilities-based telecommunication providers to register. (From registration, a determination will be made on whether a franchise or license will be granted.); 5) Provides the flexibility to change as technology and regulations change. (Previous franchises had to expire before the City could eliminate outdated terms and conditions.); 6) Reduces the time negotiating lengthy franchise agreements; 7) Changes franchise compensation method from access line to gross receipts. (Gross Receipts compensation keeps up with change in technology, while a per access line fee quickly outdates the actual use of the rights-of-way and associated fees). The compensation terms are applied to all users in a fair and consistent manner. 8) Places the burden of proof on the telecommunication-provider to account for fees associated with rights-of-way use, if they choose to "bundle" services in a billing system; 9) Treats all users of the rights-of-way substantially the same; 10) Requires co-location of facilities to minimize damage, disruption and reduced street costs and inconvenience to this City. From the November 21, 2000 workshop, several changes have been considered and incorporated into the proposed telecommunication ordinance. Changes were made to clarify the intent of the ordinance; however, the most material changes are outlined in this Agenda Report, as follows: Bundled Services. As telecommunication companies provide new services, discounts and bundling of services is inevitable. The Ordinance requires the franchisee to account for gross receipts subject to a franchise fee and for discounts to be applied equally to all services. Otherwise, all bundled services will be subject to a gross receipts fee. This language is similar to proposed legislation at the state level to account for sales subject to state and local sales tax. Registration. The ordinance requires facility-based telecommunication companies to register so a determination can be made on whether they provider needs a franchise or a license. A license may be required for placement of facilities for internal use of an applicant. Gross Receipts. This definition was clarified to include the sale of accounts receivables and specific data services. The City Attorney has also issued an opinion that the City has the legal authority to require a franchise based upon gross receipts and that the amount of compensation sought is reasonable. Pass Through Service. This is a new definition and means the facilities merely pass through the City from one point to another and does not serve individual customers. The franchise fee is $2.50/linear foot annually for use of the right of way. Agreement. This clarifies that a franchise or license granted under this Ordinance is effective with an executed written agreement setting forth the particular terms and provisions to occupy the rights-of-way. Amendment and Renewal. A franchise is not amended or extended until violations have been cured or corrective action plan has been developed and approved. Co-location and Additional Facility Requirements. Upon a determination that a franchisee is unable to co-locate and the City Engineer has determined the facilities should be underground and excess capacity is required, then such additional conduit shall at the option of the franchisee, be it owned by the City or Franchisee. If owned by the City, then a credit of the franchise fee shall be made in the amount of the incremental cost of the labor and material of installing the excess conduit. All franchisees will be subject to the $1.81/access line fee per month until the expiration of the SWB ordinance in July 2002. At this time, the franchise fee will be applied to 5% of Gross Receipts. Franchise fees will most likely increase as new communication services are being deployed through facilities in public rights-of-way. Mayor Knight Mayor Knight inquired if anyone wished to be heard. Les Deppershmidt Les Depperschmidt, Southwestern Bell, asked that action on the Ordinance be postponed and said the proposed ordinance contains provisions and requirements that would be a considerable hardship and in violation of the Kansas Constitution. Many concerns have not been addressed. Unnecessary costs must be avoided to allow successful competition. Mr. Depperschmidt asked that discussions be reopened to ensure meaningful dialogue between the industry and City. Motion -- carried Pisciotte moved that Ordinance be placed on first reading. Motion carried 7 to 0. ORDINANCE An Ordinance authorizing the grant of franchises to telecommunications and open video system providers to construct, operate, and maintain communications systems using the right-of-way in the city of Wichita, Kansas, prescribing the terms and conditions of said grants; creating Chapter 3.93 of the code of the city of Wichita, introduced and under the rules laid over.

The estimated cost of the project is $52,000 with the total assessed to the improvement district. The proposed method of assessment is the fractional basis. The estimated assessment rate is $1,325 per tract. State Statutes provide that a Petition is valid if signed by a majority of resident property owners or by owners of the majority of the property in the improvement district.

(District II) Mike Lindebak City Engineer reviewed the Item. Agenda Report No. 00-1234. The Capital Improvement Program includes an ongoing program to relieve traffic congestion in the Rock Road Corridor (CIP No. MS-200004, page 51). One element of the program is improvements to the intersection of Rock Road at 21st Street. The City Engineer's Office staff has presented the plan to affected property owners, tenants, and to the District Two Advisory Board. The design plan needs to be finalized so that detailed construction plans can be completed. The design plan includes street widening and access modifications (non-mountable median) on Rock between Rockhill and 21ststreet and 1000' east and west of Rock on 21st. The intersection of 21st Street at Bradley Fair Parkway is to be signalized. Staff believes the current proposal satisfactorily addresses the concerns of the majority of the adjacent businesses. McDonald's requested an eastbound left turn lane on 21st Street. This is not being recommended because of its close proximity to Rock Road and the effect it would have on safety and the interruption to eastbound through traffic and westbound left turning traffic. The CIP budget for the improvement is $2,000,000. The funding source is a combination of General Obligation Bonds, special assessments, and Federal grants administered by the Kansas Department of Transportation. Mayor Knight momentarily absent. Council Member Martz momentarily absent. Council Member Cole momentarily absent. Mayor Knight Mayor Knight inquired if anyone wished to be heard. Bob Kaplan Bob Kaplan, representing Sundance Apartments, said the same medial cut for Bradley Fair could also be used to benefit Sundance. While Sundance can be accessed through another entry, it is requested that alternate access also be provided at the southbound medial cut for Bradley Fair or at the north property line of Sundance. Matt Raper Matt Raper, restaurant owner in the Tallgrass Plaza, spoke in support of 98 percent of the plan. Accommodations were also requested at East 21st Court. Twenty-first and Rock Road is a destination, not part of through traffic. A left-turn lane to stack three to four cars was also requested.

(Item No. 15) HPC2000-11 HPC2000-11 – APPEAL OF DENIAL FOR DEMOLITION OF 520 NORTH BROADWAY. (District VI) Marvin Krout Director of Planning reviewed the Item Agenda Report No. 00-1241. HPB/Staff Recommendation: Deny the application. The Catholic Diocese is requesting approval of the demolition of 520 N. Broadway and the one storey pizza restaurant building at 516 N. Broadway for the purpose of constructing a "soup kitchen." The pizza restaurant building is not a significant historic structure and may be demolished. The American Foursquare, gambrel roof, two storey brick building is a historic structure in its own right, and is within the "environs" (500 feet, parcel line to parcel line) of the Old Sedgwick County Courthouse and the Soldiers and Sailors Civil War Monument, 504 N. Main, which are listed in the National Register of Historic Places as well as the Register of Historic Kansas Places and the Wichita Register of Historic Places. "Environs" means the historic property's associated surroundings and the elements or conditions which serve to characterize a specific place, neighborhood, district, or area. Under the Agreement between the Kansas State Historic Preservation Officer and the City of Wichita: Performance of project reviews under K.S.A. 1995 75-2724, the State has delegated responsibility to the City's Historic Preservation Board to make the official determination that a " proposed project will encroach upon, damage, or destroy any historic property included on the National Register of Historic Places or the Kansas Register of Historic Places or the environs of such property" (Item 2 of the Agreement executed October 26, 2000). Staff provided an evaluation of the request citing the Standards and Guidelines for Environs Review 1998, adopted and published by the Kansas State Historic Preservation Office. The Standards and Guidelines for Environs Review specifically address the categories of demolition, parking and site modification by listing recommended and not recommended actions in the following manner: 1. Demolition: – --Recommended: Retain the features that define the characteristics of a listed property's environs when possible. --Not Recommended :Demolition of character-defining features or structure(s) with no plans for compatible replacement features or structures. HPB Justification: The environs of each property will be recognized as a physical record of its time, place, and use. Changes to the environs that have acquired historic significance in their own right should be retained and preserved. The building at 520 N. Broadway, constructed in 1910-1911, has gained historic significance in its own right and as part of the environs of the Old Sedgwick County Courthouse. The structure, other than minor interior changes, maintains the original exterior materials and footprint. 2. New/Infill Construction: Recommended: New construction should relate to the set-back, size, form, patterns, texture, materials and color of the features that characterize the environs of listed properties. Not Recommended:New construction that is inconsistent and/or not compatible with the character of the environs of the listed property; new construction that destroys existing relationships within the environs of a listed property. HPB Justification: The new construction is not compatible to replacement in regard to mass or scale of the existing structure. The replacement structure is a one-story facility that makes no attempt to replicate the multi-storied structures surrounding it. There has been an effort made to simulate exterior materials as to color and texture. Demolition of this structure further allows the erosion of the environs of the Old Sedgwick County Courthouse. At the November 13 Historic Preservation Board meeting, the Board determined that demolition of the home would substantially damage the environs of the two nearby landmarks, and they requested that the Design Review Committee meet with the architect and Catholic Diocese representative to discuss alternate site development plans. A meeting was held November 28. Those present were: Brad Doeden, architect; Donna Rheault, Catholic Diocese; Marvin Krout, MAPD; Kurt Schroeder, OCI; Loren Dienes, Plans Review; Paul Cavanaugh, Stan Shelden, Randal Steiner, Claire Willenberg, and Kathy Morgan. The architect had drawn two new schemes for this project: 1. Re-arrange and move the proposed new dining hall south, so that the 4-square home on the north end of this site does not need to be demolished. The diocese could back out of purchasing the house altogether; they need to decide whether to close on December 20. One downside would be that the dining hall would be next to a vacant building, and that could turn into an "attractive nuisance". It would also reduce the number of on-site parking spaces originally planned for volunteers, which means they would need to rely more on using the existing church parking lot at the corner of Broadway and Central. For the most part, except for Saturday night mass, they do not expect that the church and dining hall will be in use and needing parking at the same time. In either case, the applicants will need to seek relief. 2. Incorporate the home into the design of the dining hall facility, using the ground floor for administrative offices and the 2nd floor for a caretaker's dwelling. All those present liked this design best. The downside is that it will cost more to rehabilitate the home and add to it than to demolish the home and build new. Discussion then moved to whether the City Council could provide funding assistance, and the possibility of applying to the state historic grant program. The Design Review Committee then voted to approve either alternative that allows the structure to remain and thereby not create a significant negative impact (4-0). If the Diocese were to choose either one, they could proceed with permits (subject to dealing with the parking waiver) and will NOT have to come to the City Council to request approval to demolish the home. Since meeting with the Design Review Committee the architect estimated the cost difference between the plan that would involve demolition and the plan that would incorporate the home into the design of the dining hall. The cost difference, included in the attached submission by the Catholic Diocese, was estimated by the architect at $150,000 in construction, plus $3300 per year in additional operating costs. While staff feels that some of these costs may be inflated, there clearly is a substantial difference in construction cost between the two alternatives. It is possible for the City to assist in bridging the gap in construction cost; however, the Council would need to weigh the value of providing this assistance against the opportunity costs of utilizing the funds to assist in other preservation efforts. In addition, the architect makes the point in the submission that, while the dining hall has been designed for an initial occupancy of 250-300 diners, the demand could easily increase to 450-500, and the option to incorporated the home into the design reduces the expansion potential for this facility. The City of Wichita has the responsibility of implementing state law K.S.A. 1995 Supp. 75-2724. In order to approve the request of the Catholic Diocese, the City Council needs to find that there is no "feasible and prudent alternative" to the demolition of 520 North Broadway. If the City finds that no feasible and prudent alternative exists, the State Historic Preservation Office must be given five days notice of the City's determination, by certified mail. Additionally, "any person aggrieved by the determination of a governing body may appeal such determination" to the district court. Discussion was had and consensus was that, if possible, arrangements would be made to move the building; the greater need being feeding the homeless. Mayor Knight Mayor Knight inquired whether anyone wished to be heard. Donna Roe Donna Roe, Catholic Diocese, said the Diocese has been unable to find a more suitable location. The name of the soup kitchen will be "The Lords Diner." Donna Roe also requested support of the project and said the Diocese will work with the City to see if there is an option to demolition of the house. Motion -- Cole moved that the Certificate of Appropriateness be approved; finding that there is no feasible alternative; requested that the City take steps, within a timeframe to be established by City and Diocese, to get estimates for demolition and removal; an organization be sought to assist in the removal and rehabilitation of the home; and -- carried consideration be given to use of some of the Historic Preservation Funds, if necessary. Motion carried 7 to 0. OLD TOWN CINEMA OLD TOWN CINEMA DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT. (Subject to Removal) Allen Bell Financial Projects Director reviewed the Item. Agenda Report No. 00-1242. On August 8, 2000, the City Council designated Bill Warren, George Laham and David Burk as Preferred Developer for the Old Town Cinema Project. The trio has formed a development company called Cinema Old Town, L.L.C. to carryout the Project. The City Council action gave the Preferred Developer 120 days to negotiate the terms of a development agreement with the City. The attached Development Agreement is the result of that negotiation. The proposed Old Town Cinema Project is composed of four principal elements, carrying a total combined estimated cost of $20.6 million, detailed as follows: Developer-financed portion: $11.3 million -- 6-screen, 1250-seat Warren Theater -- 55,000 sq. ft. retail/office space City-financed portion: $ 9.3 million -- 390-car, two-level parking deck -- Public plaza -- Street improvements Under the terms of the proposed Development Agreement, the Developer will be responsible for acquiring all land upon which the privately-owned improvements will be constructed, including the theater and the retail/office buildings. The City will acquire the land upon which the parking deck and public plaza will be located. The City will vacate a portion of Moore Street, south of Third, which will serve as part of the theater site, and will lease City-owned property located at Second and Mead to the Developer for 50 years for $1.00 to serve as part of the site for the retail/office development. The Developer will be responsible for design and construction of all elements of the proposed project, as detailed above, subject to City approvals. The two-level parking deck will include approximately 14,000 sq. ft. of retail shell space on the ground level, facing the public plaza. This space will be owned by the City, as part of the parking deck, and leased to the Developer. The parking retail space lease, which is incorporated by reference in the Development Agreement, has an initial term of five years at the rate of $1.00 per year, with one five-year renewal option at the rate of $2.50 per sq. ft. per year. The City Council has previously approved the establishment of the Old Town Cinema Redevelopment District in order to allow the use of tax increment financing to finance a portion of the public improvements included in the project. Under the terms of the Development Agreement, the City will be required to extend the Old Town Zoning Overlay District to include the project area. The zoning overlay will allow the Developer to satisfy its off-street parking requirement by participating in the Old Town Parking District and paying monthly parking fees to the City, based on the off-street parking requirements specified in the zoning overlay. The City's obligation to proceed with the Old Town Cinema Project is conditioned on the City's ability to acquire its portions of the project site for an amount not-to-exceed $1,534,292. This amount is based on a price of $7.70 per sq. ft. for land currently owned by D.D. Realty, and $20.00 per sq. ft. for property owned by Raytheon Aircraft Co. Negotiations with Raytheon are on-going. Funding for the City's financial obligations under the Development Agreement was approved by the City Council on November 28, 2000 as part of the 2001-2010 Capital Improvement Program. The proposed Development Agreement, Parking Structure Retail Lease and SE Parcel Ground Lease have been prepared by Developer's Counsel and approved as to form by the City Attorney. Mayor Knight Mayor Knight inquired whether anyone wished to be heard. David Burk David Burk urged approval of the project. Motion -- Cole moved the Development Agreement, subject to minor modifications approved by the City Representative and City Attorney, be approved. Council Member Lambke Council Member Lambke said he could not support a project requiring 45 percent from the taxpayers. -- carried Motion carried 6 to 1. (Lambke, no) EMP. UNION EMPLOYEE UNION CONTRACTS AND SALARY ORDINANCES. Mark Manning Senior Budget Analyst, Department of Finance, reviewed the Item. Agenda Report No. 00-1243. Contracts for the next three years, 2001-2003, have been negotiated with the following employee unions and are presented to the governing body for approval: Fraternal Order of Police (FOP) International Association of Fire Fighters (IAFF) Service Employees' International Union (SEIU) Teamsters Union (Transit) Teamsters Union (Airport Safety) The revised ordinance implements the compensation agreed to in these five contracts, as well as the compensation for all other City employees, not represented by a union. The ordinances further addresses maintenance of internal pay equity among various positions. An analysis of the non-represented ranges was completed to determine appropriate compensation for ranges for a three- year period. This analysis was completed to address compression problems and equity issues. The salary ordinances submitted include a three-year schedule consistent with the method used to deal with bargaining units' three- year plan. While the ranges proposed indicate an increase for classifications, all increases will be based on merit and annual general pay adjustments determined by the City Manager. Review of position classifications is an on-going process within the City's organization. Revisions in job classifications are often required because of changing services, regulatory requirements and organizational changes.

Agenda Report No. 00-1244. The City has received a request from Wichita Air Services, Inc. and Jack P. DeBoer for the development of an airplane hangar at Jabara Airport to be leased to Wichita Air Services, Inc. Staff has negotiated a Letter of Intent with DeBoer to serve as the preferred developer for this project. Wichita Air Services, Inc. (WASI) is a business owned by Jack DeBoer which restores and refurbishes vintage aircraft. Currently located in part of an older hangar at Wichita Mid-Continent Airport, WASI is wanting to expand its aircraft restoration operations and provide space to store corporate aircraft. WASI has been unable to locate suitable existing space at either Mid-Continent or Jabara Airport for lease and has requested the City to develop an 18,000 sq. ft. hangar at Jabara Airport, on a "build to suit" basis. To facilitate the timely construction of the hangar at an affordable cost, WASI has also requested to serve as preferred developer and contract for the construction work. Staff has prepared a Letter of Intent outlining the responsibilities of the City and WASI in the development and leasing of the new hangar, and to serve as a guide for a more detailed development agreement. Under the terms of the Letter of Intent, the City will lease approximately 50,000 sq. ft. of land located at Jabara Airport in the area designated in the Airport's Master Plan for corporate hangars. WASI will construct the 18,000 sq. ft. hangar and associated improvements on this site, including a ramp, parking, landscaping and utility extensions. The Airport Authority will lease the project site to the City, pursuant to its established ground lease procedures, and will construct an access road and utility extensions to the site. The City will lease the completed hangar to WASI and DeBoer, subject to a 15-year lease. The cost of the hangar and associated improvements will be financed by the City and fully amortized over the term of the lease from payments received from WASI. A proportional share of the cost of the road and utilities paid by the Airport Authority will be assessed to the leased project site. Assessment payments will be spread over the 15- year term of the WASI lease and paid from lease payments. The cost of building the hangar and associated improvements will be financed with general obligation bonds to be paid from project lease revenue. Based on an estimated total development cost of $1 million, the lease rate for the hangar will be $6.50 per sq. ft., and $0.12 per sq. ft. for land outside the hangar's footprint. If actual costs differ significantly from estimates, the hangar lease rate will be adjusted accordingly. The Law Department has approved the form of the Letter of Intent and will prepare the hangar development agreement for Council approval. It is recommended that the City Council designate Wichita Air Services Inc. and Jack DeBoer as preferred developer of a corporate hangar at Jabara Airport, approve the Letter of Intent and authorize the necessary signature. Mayor Knight Mayor Knight inquired if anyone wished to be heard and no one appeared. Council Member Martz momentarily absent. Motion -- Pisciotte moved that Wichita Air Services, Inc., and Jack DeBoer be designated as preferred developer of a corporate hangar at Jabara Airport; the Letter of Intent be approved and the necessary signatures be authorized, with the understanding that the project will be reviewed by the Airport Advisory Board at the earliest opportunity; -- carried and a report regarding the project be approved.

POLICE TRANSCRIBING TRANSCRIBING SERVICES – POLICE DEPARTMENT. Agenda Report No. 00-1252. In the past, the Police Department has utilized TIVEN Medical Billing Agency for assistance in transcribing tapes from the Dictaphone cassette system, to eliminate backlogs. On November 18, 1998, the Council approved a one- year contract with TIVEN, with two one-year extensions. During the first year of this agreement, the Police Department was been able to eliminate approximately 1/3 of the backlogged tapes on hand. Subsequently, the first extention of this contract was approved by Council on September 21, 1999. After this extension, the Police Department was able to eliminate another 1/3 of the backlogged tapes. In addition, on November 2, 1999, the City Council approved the purchase of a new digital dictation system for the Police Department's Records Section. This new system provided Police with a very modern and efficient means of storing and typing officer reports and case notes, using digital recording, rather than cassette tapes. This system is more efficient and should allow the department to remain current concerning verbal transcriptions. There are still 670 tapes (1/3 the original backlog) that have not been transcribed from the previous Dictaphone system. In an effort to reduce the backlog, the second extension of the TIVEN contract is needed. There is a remaining supply of approximately 670 tapes that have not been transcribed from the old units. One final transcription effort with TIVEN should eliminate all cassette taped reports and allow the compete transition to the new digital dictation system. Salary savings due to unused salaries are available to fund the contract.

AMENDMENT - CAMP DRESSER AND MCKEE – GILBERT AND MOSLEY. Agenda Report No. 00-1253. On October 24, 2000, the City Council approved the remediation design concept for the Plumes ABE groundwater remediation (clean-up) system for the Gilbert and Mosley project and authorized staff to negotiate a contract amendment with Camp Dresser & McKee (CDM) for construction of the system. These negotiations have resulted in the development of the Eighth Amendment to the Gilbert and Mosley Project Agreement between CDM and the City. The amendment consists of two parts: Amendment 8a includes the engineering and consulting activities to be performed by Camp Dresser & McKee Inc. (CDM Inc.). Amendment 8b includes the construction costs for the Plumes ABE groundwater treatment system to be performed by CDM Engineers & Constructors Inc. (CDM E&C). The proposed contract amendment includes work activities consisting of construction and installation of the groundwater remediation system and treatment building, completion of this work is expected by the end of 2001. In addition to the installation of the remediation system the contract includes the cost of constructing a basic building to house the ground water treatment equipment in Herman Hill Park. As part of the contract negotiations staff has directed CDM to develop plans for an enhanced treatment building design that would integrate environmental education components, displays, water re-use options, other amenities and features. These enhanced building design concepts will be presented to the Council at a later date as construction options to the basic building included in the current contract. The proposed budget for the Amendment 8a engineering and consulting activities is $3,757,532. The proposed budget for the Amendment 8b Plumes ABE groundwater treatment system is $5,160,403. The total proposed budget for the Eighth Amendment to the Gilbert and Mosley is a "not to exceed" amount of $8,917,935 to be funded by revenues from the Gilbert and Mosley Tax Increment Finance (TIF) district which includes payments from responsible parties. The Law Department has been involved with the negotiations of the contract with CDM, and has approved the Eighth Amendment as to form and content.

EATON AMENDMENT AMENDMENT TO MASTER DISBURSEMENT AGREEMENT – EATON PLACE PROPERTIES. (District I) Agenda Report No. 00-1254. On August 24, 1999, the City Council approved the issuance of Industrial Revenue Bonds for the Eaton Place project in three series: Series A bonds in the amount of $6,520,000 to permanently finance a portion of the apartment complex; Series B bonds in the amount of $1,000,000 to finance the equity contribution to the residential portion of the project; and, Series C bonds in the amount of $5,000,000 to provide bridge financing for a portion of the residential and commercial components of the project. Series C bonds were to be issued in scheduled increments throughout the project and redeemed by various sources of non-bond funding committed to the project, including HOME and CDBG funds, the proceeds of historic and housing tax credits and developer equity. Under the terms of the Master Disbursement Agreement for the project, the City reimbursed a portion of the eligible Series C bond residential costs from CDBG and HOME funds. MetroPlains has used all of the available Series C bonds for the project, but has not drawn all of the CDBG funds. In order to draw the remaining CDBG loan funds, MetroPlains Development LLC, the Preferred Developer, has requested the City amend the Master Disbursement Agreement to permit the reimbursement of a line of credit in lieu of issuance of additional Series C bonds. The amendment to the Master Disbursement Agreement does not increase the City share of the project cost or change the total project budget.

Negotiations have been underway, assisted by Council Member Bob Martz, for negotiation of new contracts. New proposed golf professional contracts have been tendered to the four golf professionals. Negotiations are underway but may require some additional time to conclude. For that reason it is necessary to extend the current contracts for one additional month through January 2001. The golf professionals have concurred in the contract extensions. The existing contract provisions regarding payments to the golf professionals and sharing of golf course revenues will remain in place for this one month. The contract extensions will be subject to approval as to legal form by the Department of Law. Motion -- Knight moved that Agreement/Contract be approved and the necessary signatures be authorized.

Horizon Telecommunications has approached the City about placing a tower to provide wireless service in an approximately 2,500 square foot portion of the maintenance area of McDonald Golf Course. The site is located east of Roosevelt at approximately 10th Street if it existed in the area. The site has been reviewed and accepted by appropriate staff. The lessee has sought and received the appropriate approvals and conditional use permits to allow the tower to be built. The proposed tower will be 140-feet tall and will accommodate up to four service providers. The lease agreement provides for a five-year term with three five-year options. Annual base rental is $8,400 per year with annual three percent increases. If the facility is leased to three users, the base rent is increased to $10,200. If a fourth user is added, base rent becomes $12,000 per year. Until such time as all four spots on the tower are leased, the City shall have the right to utilize one spot at no cost to the City. The lessee agrees not to interfere with the public purpose of the area and to make sure the leased area is secure. The City will receive rent revenues as described above. The lessee shall be responsible for all costs of installation, operation and maintenance of the facility and the leased land upon which it is constructed.

(District 1) Agenda Report No. 00-1257. On July 13, 1999, the Council approved a HOME CHDO Agreement with Power CDC in the amount of $130,000 for development costs relating to the construction of 10 single family homes on the site of the former Piatt Manor Apartments at 2104 N. Piatt. Subsequently, on April 18, 2000, the Council approved the implementation of the project. At this point two newly constructed homes have been sold and are near completion, with closings scheduled for December 12. Power CDC has sold 3 additional homes and construction is scheduled to begin by December 8. The construction time frame will be approximately 4 months. There is also a need to construct a model home for viewing by potential buyers. However, with the start of construction on the three pre-sold homes, the HOME funds provided under the grant agreement will be depleted to the point that no additional homes, whether they are pre-sold or a "spec" model. There is a high level of interest in these homes, and Power CDC continues to work with potential buyers in order to obtain permanent mortgage financing. Staff recommends an amendment to Power CDC's funding agreement in order to provide an additional $70,000 in additional HOME development funding for the project, so that construction can begin on additional homes.
