Agenda Report No. 97-075. Ritchie Paving, Inc. recently received City Council approval for one- and three- week closures along McLean to allow storm drainage installation in advance of the street paving. This work was initially delayed because of poor weather, but is now under way. McLean between Maple and Douglas is now closed. Ritchie has now requested that the closure between Maple and Douglas be extended indefinitely to allow for the reconstruction of the street in this area. Ritchie has also requested that McLean from Maple to Kellogg be closed at the time the Maple- Lewis bridge is closed for reconstruction. If approved, these closures will allow the paving contractor to begin immediate removal of McLean between Maple and Douglas and expedite the completion of the new roadway. These closures have been noted in the contract with Ritchie. Ritchie advises that beginning the construction of the section from Maple to Douglas at this time will allow this section of roadway to be completed prior to the River Festival. Agenda Report No. 97-076. Cornejo and Sons, Inc. has contracted to construct improve- ments to East Bank streets near the new hotel and the Lewis/Maple Street bridge and has requested permission to close the streets during construction, beginning January 29. These improvements include installing new water, sanitary sewer and drainage lines, as well as the complete reconstruction of several streets, including Lewis between Main and the Arkansas River. Because of the complexity of the project, the need to complete the work as soon as possible and the concurrent construction of other projects in this area, it is recommended that Lewis be closed to through traffic during construction. The contractor is responsible for construction barricades and signing during this project and notification of adjacent businesses and residents. This closure is being coordinated with the work on the Waterwalk project, the hotel, and the McLean paving project. It will also be coordinated with the Lewis Street bridge replacement. This project is identified as project #CA-9601 in the 1996- 1997 CIP book, page 6. The City Council approved the project on April 2, 1996. Agenda Report No. 97-077. KGE and SWB have begun relocation of their utilities in advance of street reconstruction on Seneca between McCormick and Pawnee. The outside lanes of Seneca will be closed as necessary as this relocation work progresses. Along the west side of Seneca, south of Orient, KGE will need to install poles to allow a triple use (transmission, distribution and street lights). It will be necessary to close Seneca to all traffic for approximately 30 minutes as the poles are being erected. These 30 minute complete closures will be scheduled as weather conditions allow and will occur between 9:30 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. with an attempt to install one pole per day.

On July 18, 1995, the City Council approved the design of Project S-315 (interceptor Relief Sewer-Priority 1) as part of the Sewer Capital Improvement Program 1995 - 2004. On November 26, 1996, the Staff Screening and Selection Committee selected the team of Professional Engineering Consultant, P.A./Brown & Caldwell (PEC/BC) to provide requirements and concept design of Phase I of the Wichita Wet Weather Holding Facility. The City of Wichita Water and Sewer Department has determined that to reduce the chances of sewage surcharging in the War Industries Interceptor Sewer, a Wet Weather Holding Facility or a parallel interceptor sewer should be constructed. The project's objective is to provide the City with a modern, efficient and economical facility to protect customers from property damage, and protect the environment from damages when heavy rain events cause the War industries Interceptor Sewer and its branches to exceed the designed capacity and become surcharged. Preliminary engineering indicates that the best means of accomplishing this objective is by constructing a reservoir to hold the high flow. The selected engineer will confirm and evaluate sites for the facility before beginning actual design work. There are no other practical and economical alternatives to improve hydraulic performance of the War Industries Interceptor Sewer. Payment to PEC/BC will be made on an hourly basis not to exceed the amount of $35,000 and will be paid from Sewer Improvement Funds or a future bond issue.

The Neighborhood Initiative supports numerous programs and activities to foster neighborhood actions which lead to economic, family and social stability. Neighborhood Centers, or lighted schools, are one way to bring together local residents and community agencies and organizations to address neighborhood concerns and to implement programs that address the needs of youth and family. The first Neighborhood Center was established at the Colvin Elementary School/Community Center in August, 1995. Start-up of a second Neighborhood Center is being proposed at the Northeast Magnet School located at 1847 North Chautauqua Street. The City will work in partnership with U.S.D. 259 to utilize the Northeast Magnet School facility, either totally, or in part, as a multipurpose Neighborhood Center. This school is strategically located in the neighborhood, accessible to residents, and available for other uses after the school day ends. Using the Northeast Magnet School is a cost- effective, practical and additional way to use one of the City's largest public investments. In is envisioned that this Center will provide programs for academic improvement and enrichment, vocational improvement, leisure and recreational programs, programs relating to job and life skills, health and human services, and social services. Once the Northeast Magnet School has been designated, a Neighborhood Council will be formed with membership comprising area residents. The purpose of the Council is to define the needs and services that are desired by area residents. The City will appoint a Neighborhood Center Coordinator to work with the Council, School Principal/teaching staff and area residents. The Coordinator will be responsible for working with residents and the Council to develop and coordinate programs at the Center. The Coordinator will also collect information from residents on neighborhood problems and work with them on possible solutions; mobilize volunteers; seek needed funding; as well as other tasks to serve the needs of the neighborhood. (It is anticipated that the services, programs and activities provided at the Northeast Magnet School could differ from those provided at the Colvin Neighborhood Center depending on the needs of area residents.) The School District has indicated its support for the development of Neighborhood Centers (Lighted Schools) and believes that schools can be used for such purposes. School staff has been working with City staff to coordinate the implementation of this program. The City will fund the cost of the Neighborhood Center Coordinator. Bureau of Justice Grant funds were received to initially fund two Neighborhood Center positions. The Colvin Coordinator has utilized the grant funds and approximately $50,000 remains to fund this second position along with office expenditures associated with the Center. The School District has agreed to donate office space for the Neighborhood Center staff. Margalee Wright Margalee Wright, BOE, said that on January 27, 1997, the Board of Education has passed a Resolution on this Item. Progress is being made in the community by having several Neighborhood Centers. It is hoped the progress continues.

Employees of the Airport Authority (Public Safety personnel and Building Maintenance employees) recently voted to have the Teamsters Union represent them. Under action by the Court and PERB, the City, together with the Airport Authority, will negotiate with the Teamsters for wage/benefits. The City is required to negotiate for compensation-type issues; the Airport Authority for working rules/requirements. Because this will be the first labor contract with the Teamsters Union, it is important that the initial documents adequately establish the positions by both parties and that the airport may continue to operate to best serve the public. The Teamsters Union has advised the City that it will have legal representation to lead its negotiation team, along with the employee and Teamster representation to assist in these negotiations. The firm of Martin, Churchill has represented the City and the Airport Authority in prior labor issues and is familiar with the background and labor issues. The City Attorney has recommended the Churchill firm based on the experience of the firm and its familiarity with the Airport/Teamsters litigation issues. The contract is for an amount not to exceed $15,000. The Council has options on how to pay the legal services costs: (1) defray total cost from City's General Fund; (2) allocate total cost from Airport Budget; or (3) share cost between City and Airport authority. The Airport Authority feels that under the current administrative charges with the City, it is already paying for such services; however, the Cost Allocation for administrative services does not include outside legal services for labor contract negotiations.

Z-3215 (Council Member Ferris present) OFF AGENDA ITEM SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT. Motion -- Ferris moved that the rules be set aside and an Item be taken up off the Agenda. -- carried Motion carried 7 to 0. Council Member Ferris Council Member Ferris said three to four months ago there was a joint meeting with the Sedgwick County Commission in regard to waste management. The meeting was fairly productive and staff was asked to meet and return with another meeting in 30 days. Since that time has passed, Council Member Ferris requested a status report from the City Manager and that another meeting be scheduled. Chris Cherches City Manager said City and County Staffs met relative to some of the issues that were discussed at the joint meeting. City Staff developed a number of questions from a City Council workshop, and a meeting was held with the County Staff in consultation with the County Commissioners. Responses to each of the questions were given to the City Council shortly after that meeting. To this date, there has not been a subsequent joint meeting scheduled. Council Member Ferris Council Member Ferris stated that, perhaps, rather than waiting until both staffs have every issue resolved and every question answered, the City Council and County Commission should again meet and be brought up to speed. Mayor Knight Mayor Knight asked the City Manager to set up a joint City/County meeting. Council Member Cole Council Member Cole suggested that, at the next joint meeting, a short report on the past meetings and what has transpired might be presented. Council Member Ferris Council Member Ferris said he also would be interested in how Sedgwick County is doing on their time table, whether they are going to be able to accomplish their goals, and whether there is anything the City needs to be doing to get information to the County. An effort needs to be made to keep the lines of communication open between the Governing Bodies.
