DOCUMENT DESCRIPTION:
AN ORDINANCE introduced by City Manager Jim Colson, amending City of Topeka Code Section
9.05.080 and specifically repealing said original section, repealing Chapter 8.20 and Section 9.45.120
in their entireties, as well as, creating Section 9.05.090 all concerning the adoption of the 2012
Uniform Public Offense Code and amendments thereto. Final Reading. (Deferred from the meeting of
November 13, 2012.)
Voting Requirement: Majority vote of the Governing Body, including the Mayor.
(Approval would adopt the 2012 edition of the UPOC and amendments. The City is currently operating under
the 2011 edition.)
POLICY ISSUE:
As discussed at the November 27, 2012, Work Session, staff has prepared an amended ordinance for
consideration which will take the place of the deferred ordinance. This amended ordinance will adopt the
2012 UPOC except for Domestic Battery, Cruelty to Animals and Smoking.
Previously, the Council decided to exclude Domestic Battery from adoption in the UPOC. Cruelty to Animals
is covered in the city code. By excluding smoking sections from adoption in the 2012 UPOC, the City
smoking ordinance will remain in effect.
Previously, Prostitution sections were excluded in the adoption of the UPOC because that was Item covered#9
in City Code. It is the opinion of the police and prosecutors that the reason for the City’s prostitution code
section no longer exists. By adopting the proposed ordinance, prostitution violations will now be covered in
the 2012 UPOC, and the City code’s provisions will be repealed.
Adoption of the 2012 UPOC will legalize the transporting of a loaded firearm in an occupied vehicle
because that prohibition was left out of the 2012 UPOC.
If the ordinance is adopted as amended a new ordinance amending only those sections of the current
smoking ordinance which staff believes are legally defective will be presented for consideration. With the
amendments, those defective sections will be as strict as state law and those current sections which are as
strict or stricter than state law will remain in effect. The City will continue to have its own smoking
ordinance. Also, at the Police Chief’s request, a new ordinance which makes it unlawful to possess a
firearm in the commission of certain misdemeanor crimes will be presented for consideration. In the opinion
of the Police Chief, the effect of the new ordinance would help offset the elimination of the prohibition of the
transportation of a loaded firearm in an occupied vehicle.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff is requesting that the Governing Body move to adopt the ordinance as amended.
BACKGROUND:
The City’s standard practice is to adopt the most recent edition of the Uniform Public Offense Code for
Kansas Cities (UPOC) as compiled and published by the League of Kansas Municipalities (LKM). The City is
currently operating under the 2011 edition as provided in TMC 9.05.080. The LKM has now published the
2012 edition.
This ordinance adopts the 2012 UPOC except for Section 3.1.1 pertaining to domestic battery and Section
11.11 pertaining to cruelty to animals. Domestic battery is excepted because those offenses are prosecuted
by the district attorney. Cruelty to animals is excepted because the provisions related to that offense are in
TMC Section 6.05.040.
In previous years when adopting the latest edition of the UPOC, the City omitted the sections regarding
smoking and prostitution. The smoking section was omitted because the City adopted a smoking ordinance
as provided in TMC Chapter 8.20. K.S.A. 21-6114 provides that any city may regulate smoking within its
boundaries so long as the city’s regulation is at least as strict as that imposed by the Kansas Indoor Clean
Air Act. The City’s code section may not comply with that state requirement. This ordinance as originally
proposed repeals the City’s code sections pertaining to smoking and adopts the equivalent of the Kansas
Indoor Clean Air Act as contained in Section 10.24 of the UPOC.
The prostitution section was omitted because the City adopted the prostitution offense and related offenses
in TMC Section 9.45.120. Law enforcement and prosecutors agree the reason for adoption of the City code
section no longer exists. Therefore, this ordinance repeals the City code section, and the UPOC’s provisions
regarding prostitution are adopted.
Additionally, the LKM opted to divide Section 10.1, Criminal Use of Weapons into two sections. One
section pertains to criminal use of weapons and one section relates to the criminal carrying of
weapons. When this was done, the provision regarding the transportation of a loaded firearm in an occupied
vehicle was inadvertently left out (the LKM advises this omission will be corrected in the next edition of the
UPOC). In prior years, this provision was in Section 10.1(a)(5). The omitted section is important for the
protection of law enforcement officers. Thus, in Section 2 of the ordinance as originally proposed,
transporting a loaded weapon in an occupied vehicle is adopted. This is the same offense as contained in
previous adopted editions of the UPOC.

SUMMARY REPORT
City of Topeka Lease Purchase Agreement with US Bancorp.
The Lease Purchase Agreement that is being presented for governing body action is to fund the
acquisition of new police vehicles.
SPECIFIC LEASE INFORMATION
Term: Three (3) Years in Arrears
First Payment Due: December 7, 2013
Out Year Payments Due: December 7, 2014 and December 7, 2015
Payment Amount: $296,318.56 (principal and interest)
Principal Amount: $870,000
Interest Rate: 1.09%
Total Interest: $18,955.67
Total Payments: $888,955.67 (total principal and interest)
During the 2013 budget discussions, the City Council directed staff to use up to $300,000 in
2013 police department salary savings to fund the acquisition of new police vehicles. The
Council further directed staff to pursue lease purchase options. Contracts and Procurement
solicited competitive lease purchase proposals. US Bancorp was the lowest responsible bidder
offering 1.09% interest rate. The proposed lease purchase agreement contemplates a total
principal of $870,000 to fund new police vehicles. Identical payments will be made on
December 7, 2013 and on the same date in years 2014 and 2015.
It is estimated that the principal amount will fund the acquisition of 27 to 34 new vehicles
including emergency vehicle equipment necessary to equip the vehicles (emergency lighting,
sirens, consoles, prisoner partitions, gun racks, etc.). The total number of vehicles purchased is
dependent on the makes and models selected. The majority of the vehicles will be black and
white patrol vehicles slated for front-line use.
