Recommendation by Neighborhood Revitalization Program Review Committee to Add
Twenty-Two Residential and Two Commercial Properties to the Program
The Governing Body heard from Lucas Neece, Director of Neighborhood Services, who reviewed
the twenty-two residential structures and two commercial properties to add to the Neighborhood
Revitalization Program:
• Neighborhood Revitalization Program Review Committee recommends all twenty-two
residential structures and two commercial properties be included in the NRP
• The City of Ottawa's portion on the residential projects of the tax rebate amount per year
for years one through five is $12,522.47 and $8,414.70 a year for years six through ten
• The difference is because the rehabilitation projects only benefit from a five-year rebate,
while new residential benefit from a ten-year rebate
• Residential rebate from the City of Ottawa for this group of projects is expected to total
$104,685.85 over ten years
• Commercial total over ten years is $29,907.15

results of the compensation study and reviewed:
• The last city employee compensation study began in 2013, with final implementation in
April 2015 and pay ranges were adjusted annually until 2019
• During the 2023 budget process, staff recommended an RFP be issued to analyze both
current pay practices and pay grades as a comparison against the relevant market for all
positions in fiscal year 2023
• The project kicked off in April 2023 with a job description review, employee questionnaires,
and discussions with each department supervisory staff
• Study led to several key recommendations, including establishing a compensation
philosophy aligned with the average market, adopting a new salary range schedule with a
40% spread and three market points to improve recruitment and retention
• Implementation steps include adjusting employee salaries to at least the minimum of the
new range and offering one-time placement within that range for years in their current
position
• Further evaluation of specialty pay was recommended
• Operational guidelines suggest annual salary schedule adjustments based on indicators,
annual salary adjustments for employees, and conducting citywide external market reviews
every three to five years
• Policy recommendations include new hiring practices, annual gross wage and
merit/performance adjustments, controlled in-range market adjustments for retention,
elimination of current specialty pays and procedures for promotions, demotions and pay
grade changes
• The recommended Compensation Schedule and pay changes will go into effect on January
6, 2024, which is the first day of the first full pay period in 2024
• Total cost of compensation study contract is $41,275 (not including travel expenses)
• Increase in compensation of City of Ottawa employees will impact the salary, benefits and
overtime line items of all funds budgeted approximately as follows:
o General Fund $580,000
o Auditorium Fund $50,000
o Risk Management Fund $7,000

• Policy recommendations of the Consultant include new hiring practices, annual gross wage
and merit/performance adjustments, controlled in-range market adjustments for retention,

grade changes
• Compensation policy amendments would become effective upon adoption of the resolution
• Policy amendments include:
o Reorganization of policy sections for ease of use
o Section 2.2: Compensation expanded to include new hires, gross wage
adjustment, annual performance merit adjustment, market adjustments,
promotions, demotions, top-of-the-range/red circle, position pay grade changes,
and special pay increases.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Brian Silcott – City Manager
FROM: Michael Haeffele - Director of Public Works
SUBJECT: 2018 Adopted Airport Master Plan Update
DATE: December 11, 2023
___________________________________________________________________________________
Introduction:
As the sponsors to a General Aviation (GA) airport that receives federal funding for projects, every ten
years GA airports must submit a master plan that outlines potential projects that will qualify for federal
funding. The last update to the Airport Master Plan was adopted on October 3, 2018. Updates to the
master plan are completed annually starting with the Airport Board recommendation to the City
Commission for approval. Once the City Commission approves the updated plan, it is submitted to the
FAA for final approval. Some of the projects included in the master plan include taxiway lighting,
rehabilitate taxiway, runway 18 obstruction removal, construct connecting taxiway, upgrade AWOS, and
construct wind-cone with segmented circle.
In the master plan, there are chapters on Facility Requirements and Development Alternatives. The
purpose of the facility requirements was to look at current and future levels of airfield capacity while
identifying the requirements to meet projected demand. The facility requirements were based on the
type of aircraft currently using the airport and projected types of aircraft to use the airport. The purpose
of the chapter on development alternatives was to look at the different ways development at the airport
can be accomplished. The alternatives were to show the FAA that we explored different options prior to
selecting the preferred alternative. Both sections, facility requirements and development alternatives,
were built to support the short, intermediate, and long-term project lists.
Summary of Airport Facility Requirements:
Facility requirements outlined in the 2018 adopted master plan include paving the crosswind runway,
extending the primary runway to 5,500 feet (an addition of 700 feet), constructing a maintenance hangar
and storage hangars, installation of Medium Intensity Taxiway Lights (MITL), upgrading Runway 17/35
with 4 light PAPI system, installing 2 light PAPI system on Runway 13/31, perimeter fencing, fiber
extension for internet, Jet-A Fuel tank and pump.
Current status of the Facility Requirements
• Paving crosswind runway – not started
• Extending runway 17/35 to 5,500 feet – not started
• Construct maintenance hangar – not started
• Construct storage hangar - not started
• Install MITL on taxiway – completed 2021
• Upgrade PAPI lights on Runway 17/35 – not started
• Install 2 light PAPI system on Runway 13/31 – not started
• Perimeter fencing – not started
• Fiber extension for internet – not started
• Install Jet-A fuel tank (6,000) and pump – completed in 2018

The drawing above shows the ultimate layout plan for the runway and crosswind runway. As you can
see in the drawing, the runway is extended to the south and the crosswind runway is shown as being
paved with a paved taxiway.
Paving of the crosswind runway, extension of Runway 17/35, and all hangar construction have not been
completed due to lack of participation of FAA and these projects were not included in the short-term
project list (Table 6B, pg. 4). Reasons for not completing above projects has been FAA funding, the cost
for the taxiway lights was almost $300,000 for construction and nearly $100,000 for engineering services.
This drained our entitlement funding to the point of needing to let it build back up before we could start
another project.
Entitlement funding is federal dollars that are set aside for the Ottawa Municipal Airport to complete
approved projects. These funds equate to $150,000 per year and can build up to $600,000 total, if not
used at that point the funds are lost to the city and are redistributed to other cities with approved projects.
The City of Ottawa has never had to forfeit these dollars because we do a good job of managing the
entitlement funding and keeping up with projects listed out in the master plan.
Currently the City of Ottawa is paying debt off from the construction of a nested 10-unit T-hangar that
was completed in 2015. It has been my understanding for the last 8 years that the city did not want to
incur more debt to build hangar space until the current T-hangars were paid off or paid down to the point
that we could combine the debt without having an outlandish payment.
Below are tables 6B from the Airport Master Plan that show the short term, intermediate term, and long-
term improvement projects that the city has been working on.

Of the projects listed above, we have completed or mitigated all the projects except for the Taxiway
Rehabilitation. Since the time of the completion of the master plan, KDOT has completed another
pavement assessment and deemed the taxiway no longer eligible for rehabilitation and replacement was
recommended.
We are currently in the design phase of the taxiway reconstruction and final design should be submitted
to the FAA, KDOT and the city for review and approval very soon. With that said, the design phase is
approximately 50% complete.

20 Year Planning Horinzon Total Cost $11,105,400 $9,936,860 $8,542,840 $1,159,500
The table above is the long-term list of projects. The ideal situation with the master plan is that this list,
or parts thereof, will be the starting point for the next master plan that will need to be completed in 2028.
Recommended Development Alternatives:
• Runway Alternatives, extend the runway approximately 1,000 ft. – not started due to cost and
FAA not ready to fund and is on the long-term list of projects
• Crosswind Runway Alternatives, move runway, extend to 3,400 ft, and add full length parallel
taxiway – not started, this is a long-term project that was not meant to be completed during this
master plan’s 10-year life span
• Landslide Alternatives – no additional hangar space has been built due to lack of funding from the
FAA and we are still paying the debt on the existing 10-unit T-hangar and is on the intermediate
term list of projects
Challenges and Obstacles:
The biggest challenge or obstacle the airport faces is the lack of funding, whether it is on the city side or
the FAA side. As major projects are finished, it takes four to six years to build the entitlement funding
back up to a point that another project can be started. As funding builds within our entitlement funding,
we are completing projects that are outlined in the master plan.
When comparing the facility requirements and development alternatives to Table 6B on pages 4 and 5,
we have only had the obstacle of having enough funding. While also comparing them, it is also easy to
12.11.23 Agenda Pkt Page #37
Back to Agenda
understand that we are on track with the plan as the approved project list for the short-term projects is
near completion.
Next Steps and Future Plans:
The next step for the current project, Reconstruct Parallel Taxiway, is to get the final design approved by
the FAA, KDOT, and the City of Ottawa. Once the plans are approved, we can apply for funding for
Federal Fiscal Year 2025, with construction to begin in late 2025 or 2026. Once this plan is completed,
we can reevaluate the intermediate term projects and decide which projects are priority and begin
working on that list as entitlement funding becomes available.
Conclusion:
In conclusion, you can see that the Facility Requirements and Recommended Development Alternatives
support the short term, intermediate and long-term project lists. It may not appear that we have
completed much from the facility requirements and development alternatives sections of the master plan,
however; we have completed some major projects such as the relocation of the connecting taxiway,
segmented circle and wind cone, installation of MITL on the taxiway, and mitigated the runway 17
obstacle (power lines) on Rock Creek Road. All these projects were on the short-term project list.
Although not on the list and not federally or state funded, the bottom portion of metal siding on the
office/lounge area was replaced in 2022 due to rust.
Looking back over the last five to eight years, the airport has had some major improvements and
mitigated a major safety issue of power lines on Rock Creek Road. From looking at the short,
intermediate, and long-term project lists, the airport is on track and keeping up with the master plan as
funding allows.

TO: Mayor and City Commission
SUBJECT: Removal of No-Parking in the 500 Block of S. Poplar
INITIATED BY: Lucas Neece, Director of Neighborhood Services
AGENDA: Items for Presentation & Discussion
Recommendation:
Place proposed updated parking ordinance amending Section 12-317 of Municipal Code on the
December 20, 2023 regular City Commission meeting agenda.
Background:
Parking is restricted in the 500 block of S. Poplar dating back to the former use of the building on the
east side of the block as an elementary school. The building is now used by Grace Community
Fellowship, which has different parking needs from an elementary school. I was approached by the
pastor of the church about their need for additional parking.
Analysis:
This change to parking on S. Poplar would help meet the needs of the church for parking during
Sunday services without burdening the City, and importantly, without converting any grass areas to
pavement, which would negatively impact stormwater and several quality of life indicators, including
air quality and open green space.
Financial Considerations:
There is no direct financial cost to the City.
Legal Considerations:
Ordinance has been reviewed by City Attorney Blaine Finch. Approve as to form.
Recommendation/Actions:
Place an updated parking ordinance on the next City Commission meeting agenda. (see above)

City of Ottawa Back to Agenda
City Commission Study Session
December 11, 2023
SUBJECT: 2024 Cereal Malt Beverage Licenses
INITIATED BY: City Clerk
AGENDA: Items for Presentation & Discussion
Recommendations: It is recommended, with consensus from the Governing Body, to place the 2024
Cereal Malt Beverage Licenses on the Next Regular Meeting Agenda, December 20, 2023 for
consideration of approval.
Background: CMB is defined in K.S.A. 41-2701 and amendments thereto, encompassing beer
containing not more than 6% alcohol by volume when sold by a retailer licensed under the Kansas
Cereal Malt Beverage Act. There are two types of CMB licenses:
• An Enhanced Cereal Malt Beverage license permits the sale of enhanced cereal malt beverages
in original and unopened containers, not for consumption on the licensed premises.
• An Enhanced Cereal Malt Beverage license for the sale of any CMB for use or consumption on
the licensed premises and not for resale in any form.
Analysis: The list of applications for Enhanced Cereal Malt Beverage (CMB) Licenses for the 2024
calendar year is provided. These applications have been thoroughly reviewed and approved by the
Police Department and the City Attorney, with no grounds for denial. Upon approval, a report and
appropriate fees will be submitted to the Kansas Department of Revenue. A State CMB stamp, crucial
for validating the license, is affixed to each CMB license. The City Clerk collects the CMB Stamp and
license fee at the time of application. The City of Ottawa, approved through the Kansas Bureau of
Investigation (KBI), utilized free record checks for cereal malt beverage licensing purposes during the
2024 application process.
For Consumption on the Premises: (Renewals)
• John Duncan, Pizza Time Pub LLC: 208 S Main Street
• Juana and Richard Uht, Pizza Village, Inc.: 330 S Main Street

of office and found that they create an overly long period between the election of commissioners and
the taking of office by those commissioners elect.

expired in April 2019, shall expire on the second Monday in January of 2020, when the city officials
elected in the November 2019 general election take office.
Section 2. Ratification. All other provisions of Charter Ordinance 2015-20 shall remain in full
force and effect.
Section 3. Repeal and Codification. That portion of Section 2-101(b) of the 2015 Municipal Code
