A PRESENTATION on the City of Topeka Complete Streets Concept was provided by
Braxton Copley, Assistant City Manager, and Dan Warner, Planning Division Director.
Councilmember Valdivia-Alcala stated in the past, there has been a lack of funding for
similar initiatives. She requested to meet with Assistant City Manager Copley to revisit the
Complete Streets concept for the Oakland Area to address speeding and uncontrolled
intersections.
Councilmember Ortiz asked if speed bumps have been eliminated and if so, have they
considered replacing them with calming traffic measures. She asked Staff to review the need for
speed bumps on SE 23rd and Buchanan Streets near Quinton Heights Steel Neighborhood due to
high-speed traffic.
Councilmember Miller asked how the City was promoting bicyclist and pedestrian safety
awareness to motorists as it relates to the Complete Streets concept. He inquired on the cost
comparison of vertical verses horizontal calming traffic measures.
Councilmember Duncan asked if the City has created a maintenance plan for bike lanes
to ensure visibility over time.
In response, Assistant City Manager Copley stated the following:
• He would arrange to meet with Councilmember Valdivia-Alcala and discuss the
concept further for the Oakland area.
• Speed bumps are not a tool used by the City because in the climatic zone they need to
plow streets as well as use other types of equipment during inclement weather
hazards; however, speed tables and/or raised intersections are installed where
necessary. He stated they could review the need for calming traffic measures (vertical
or horizontal) where necessary and warranted.
• The Complete Streets Concept promotes safe and usable streets for all users
regardless of age or ability including bicyclists and pedestrians.
• Bike lanes are inspected and maintained as part of the Pavement Marking Program
4-08-25
121
which also includes crosswalks and long lines to ensure visibility.
• The cost would vary as it relates to calming traffic measures; however, grant funding
was available to assist with costs.
AN UPDATE on the City of Topeka Pothole Program was provided by Steve Groen,
Public Works Director. He highlighted the following and asked citizens to report potholes
online at www.topeka.org/seeclickfix or call 785-368-3111:
• The City was responsible for maintaining 1,600 lane miles of streets, 1,057 lane miles
of alley (1/2 are paved) and 101 bridges.
• The Street Department consists of 51 employees of which 38 are maintenance
workers.
• The City has two patch trucks and four hotbox trailers. In the winter, the City uses
pickup trucks and other dump trucks to accommodate up to seven cold-mix patch
crews; and in the summer, there are up to six hot-mix patch crews.
• The average Pavement Condition Index (PCI) of Streets has consistently increased
from 54.8 in 2016 to 67.7 in 2022.
• The 2025 Pavement Management Program funded by the Citywide Half-Cent Sales
Tax totals $19 million annually. Pavement Management Program cost is $11,050,000.
Contracted Preventive Maintenance Projects total $4 million annually.
• The 2024 Pothole Repair Hot Map
• 2021-2024 Annual Pothole Statistics Summary outlining the number of service
requests received compared to potholes filled.
Councilmember Miller asked if Staff could provide pothole data prior to 2021. He stated
he believes more potholes are being filled because citizens have improved systems for
reporting.
Councilmember Banks asked when the SE 37th Street Improvement Project would begin
and noted, the westbound traffic flow was heavier than the eastbound traffic flow.
Councilmember Ortiz spoke in support of temporarily fixing the street until permanent
improvements are complete. She thanked Street Department employees for filling potholes in a
four-block area of Irvingham to Freemont Streets.
Councilmember Duncan referenced a correlation in an improved PCI score and increased
4-08-25
122
potholes. He asked if there was a different product that would be more effective than the cold
mix to fix potholes in the winter. He suggested Staff start tracking the cost associated with
repairing potholes repeatedly on the same streets compared to applying mill and overlay on the
streets until it is addressed through the CIP process.
Councilmember Kell commended Staff for their work on completing Topeka Boulevard
Street improvements from SE 21st to SE 29th Streets.
Councilmember Hiller expressed appreciation to Street crews for their work in filling
potholes and was pleased the PCI has improved. She referenced the mill and overlay project
used to improve SE 17th Street and Topeka Boulevard due to the poor condition of the road. She
spoke about the importance of prioritizing street repairs with the Citywide Half-Cent Sales Tax.
Councilmember Hoferer reported Topeka was located in an area that has a very high
number of freeze/thaw events annually causing a lot of issues with concrete and asphalt
surfaces.
Mayor Padilla spoke about the importance of utilizing micro surfacing as it relates to
preserving a mill and overlay project.
In response, Director Groen stated the following:
• Data prior to 2021 would have to be extracted from the old software system and
forwarded to the Governing Body.
• Staff have inspected SE 37th Street in an attempt to consider how to improve
conditions at this time. The street is scheduled to be improved over the next three
years in phases.
• The number of potholes directly relates to weather conditions as well as an increase in
awareness and reporting of potholes.
• At this time, cold mix is the only option for winter months.
• Microsurfacing was vital to the preservation of mill and overlay projects.
APPROVAL of CONTRAC NO. 52815 a professional engineering contract between the
4-08-25
123
City of Topeka and Bartlett & West, Inc., for providing design and construction documents for
the City of Topeka Stormwater Pump Station Master Plan and the design and rehabilitation of
the Oakland Pump Station under 2024 Capital Improvement Project No. 161013.02, was
presented.
MINUTES of the regular meeting of April 1, 2025, were withdrawn from the agenda and
placed on the April 15, 2025, agenda.
Councilmember Miller moved to approve the consent agenda as amended. The motion
seconded by Councilmember Banks carried unanimously on voice vote. (10-0-0)
PUBLIC HEARING
A Public Hearing on the advisability of creating a Community Improvement District in
the City of Topeka, Kansas and undertaking and financing of certain Community
Improvement District projects therein; and providing for the giving of notice of said
hearing (Lauren’s Bay Community Improvement District).
ORDINANCE NO. 20556 creating the Lauren’s Bay Community Improvement District
in the City of Topeka, Kansas; authorizing certain projects therein; approving the estimated costs
of such projects; containing the legal description and map of the boundaries of the district;
approving the maximum amount and method of assessment; and approving the method of
financing the projects, was presented.
Braxton Copley, Assistant City Attorney, stated on March 18, 2025, there were several
agenda items related to the Lauren’s Bay Development that was approved by the Governing
Body including the Development Agreement (City of Topeka Contract No. 52744), Resolution
No. 9639 the first step in establishing a Reinvestment Housing Incentive District (RHID) which
has been forwarded to the Kansas Department of Commerce Department, and Resolution No.
9640 setting the April 8, 2025, public hearing to consider the CID. He reported approval of the
4-08-25
124
proposed ordinance would allow future specials on the 16 lots owned by Jim Klausman
controlled entities as well as the three City-owned lots, to be spread out over the course of 20
years that will allow for the reduction of the current amount of the special assessments per month
from approximately $300 to $185 for the lots owned by the Developer who will make a payment
against the principle lowering the overall special assessment amount.
Councilmember Hiller stated in terms of overall special assessment amounts that have
accumulated in the past, she asked Staff to confirm that the CID was being used as a tool to
refinance the remaining special assessment costs by using it to help reduce the payments by
extending the balance over 20 years to be paid by future property owners. It will not be used to
subsidize the costs of the special assessments.
Councilmember Valdivia-Alcala asked if this was the first time the City has utilized a
CID for residential developments instead of commercial developments.
Councilmember Kell inquired about the status of the special assessment costs if the 16
lots enter foreclosure status.
Assistant City Manager Copley confirmed Councilmember Hiller’s statement was
accurate as it relates to the purpose of the CID. He also confirmed this was the first time a CID
was being utilized for residential development by the City. He reported if the lots are sold at
auction, the City would have the ability to bid on the lots up to the amount of money owed for
specials to purchase the lots, providing them with some control over the lots that have
outstanding specials.
Mayor Padilla opened the public hearing and asked if there was anyone present who
would like to speak about the matter.
Daniel Twemlow referenced an article written by the Topeka Capital Journal written over
4-08-25
125
a decade ago claiming the City will have to pay $11.1 million in special assessment
infrastructure costs unless builders develop homes in southwest Topeka’s Lauren’s Bay Estates,
and the situation illustrates why the City should consider taking steps to mitigate the risk
regarding a process which the City forms special assessments benefit district to encourage
development. She reminded the Governing Body that current property owners living in
Lauren’s Bay estates will continue to pay the higher cost specials while the City makes a deal
regarding the 16 lots being discussed. She questioned were the financial loss directly related to
Lauren’s Bay was reflected in the Budget and expressed her disappoint in setting a standard for
future specials that diminishes the confidence of taxpayers in the system.
Henry McClure stated using a CID was a creative solution to lower the special
assessment costs per lot. He asked the City and County to stop blaming each other and Jim
Klausman and moved forward with the project and generate property tax revenue.
Upon no one else appearing, the public hearing was closed.
Councilmember Kell moved to adopt the ordinance. The motion seconded by
Councilmember Dobler carried.
The ordinance was adopted on roll call vote as follows: Ayes: Hiller, Ortiz, Kell, Miller,
Dobler, Duncan, Hoferer and Mayor Padilla – 8. Noes: Valdivia-Alcala and Banks -2.
RESOLUTION NO. 9648 introduced by City Manager Dr., Robert M. Perez, concerning
the Kansas Homeland Security Region J Hazard Mitigation Plan, was presented.
Jason Tryon, Deputy Public Works Director, reported the resolution was discussed at the
April 1, 2025, Governing Body meeting and Staff recommends approval as presented.
Councilmember Ortiz moved to approve the resolution. The motion seconded by
Councilmember Valdivia-Alcala carried unanimously by voice vote. (10-0-0)
4-08-25
126
RESOLUTION No. 9649 introduced by the Public Infrastructure Committee comprised
of Councilmembers Sylvia Ortiz, David Banks and Neil Dobler recommending Project Nos.
501108.01, 501109.01 and 501110.01 for restoration, stabilization and rehabilitation of Ward-
Martin Creek, west of the intersection of 11th Street and Collins Avenue, as further described in
Exhibit A, was presented. (Public Infrastructure Committee recommended approval on March
18, 2025.)
Nicole Malott, Deputy Utilities Director, reported the location was adjacent to a sanitary
siphon crossing and there are multiple storm water outfalls in the area, and the degradation
threatens to undercut the siphon, and the outfalls and repairs are necessary to avoid the
structural failure of the nearby infrastructure. Approval would replace approximately 250 linear
fees of rip wrap in the banks and in the channel bed of the Ward Martin Creek, more
specifically on the eastern border of Washburn Park just west of the intersection of 11th and
Collins. The project budget is $552,177 and will be cash funded out of the storm water program.
She stated Staff recommends approval.
Councilmember Banks moved to approve the resolution. The motion seconded by
Councilmember Ortiz carried unanimously on voice vote. (10-0-0)
APPROVAL of the City of Topeka's Fiscal Year 2025 Consolidated Annual Action Plan
and Budget, was presented.
Rhiannon Friedman, Planning & Development Director, stated staff seeks approval of the
funding amounts and corresponding program allocations with the intent to make text
amendments as needed as they move through the process.
Councilmember Hiller moved to approve the City of Topeka's Fiscal Year 2025
Consolidated Annual Action Plan and Budget as presented with the intent to make text
4-08-25
127
amendments as needed. The motion seconded by Councilmember Ortiz carried unanimously on
voice vote. (10-0-0)
ORDINANCE NO. 20557 introduced by City Manager Robert M. Perez, amending
Sections 5.25.010, 5.25.020, 5.25.030, 5.25.050, and 5.25.140 of the Topeka Municipal Code
concerning Ambulance Services and repealing original sections, was presented.
Brandy Roy-Bachman, Assistant City Attorney, reported the previous ordinances
contained numerous references and citations to laws that have since been amended or repealed
or used industry verbiage that was no longer in use. She stated the ordinance was approved by
the Policy and Finance Committee.
Councilmember Ortiz asked if the proposed ordinance relates to the call-service
associated with AMR (American Medical Response).
Amanda Stanley, City Attorney, reported that specific issue was discussed by the
Governing Body as part of the approval of the annual franchise agreement for AMR. The
proposed ordinance established the framework of how to obtain an ambulance service franchise
with the City of Topeka.
Councilmember Duncan, Policy & Finance Committee Chair, stated the issue was
addressed because the language in code associated with ambulance service franchises was
outdated as well as there are a couple ambulance companies that are providing service in the
city limits without an approved franchise agreement. He reported the franchise agreement
ensures companies are licensed by the State and the appropriate people are providing the
transport.
Councilmember Ortiz thanked the Committee for their work and making sure the process
was fair for all companies providing ambulance service.
4-08-25
128
Councilmember Duncan moved to adopt the ordinance. The motion seconded by
Councilmember Miller carried unanimously. The Mayor does not vote. The proposed ordinance
involves a matter of home rule on which the Mayor has veto authority.
The ordinance was adopted on roll call vote as follows: Ayes: Hiller, Valdiva-Alcala,
Ortiz, Banks, Kell, Miller, Dobler, Duncan and Hoferer -9.
DISCUSSION 2026-2035 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) and 2026-2028 Budget (CIB),
was presented.
Josh McAnarney, Budget and Finance Director, stated discussion would continue on
Citywide Half-Cent Sales Tax Programs and Projects. A video was displayed outlining various
Citywide Half-Cent Sales Tax CIP projects that have been completed. He stated the Sales Tax is
to be used exclusively for costs of maintenance and improvements of existing City streets,
gutters, curbs, sidewalks, alleys and street lighting,. The Tax took effect on October 1, 2019 and
expired on October 1, 2029. The 2024 General Fund Sales Tax balance was higher than
expected at $17.5 million. Sales Tax during the COVID-19 pandemic appreciated greatly the
opposite of what was expected resulting in an accumulation of funds due to projects being cut in
the 2020 and 2021 CIP. He reported in this year’s CIP they are proposing to increase the
Pavement Management Fund from $11 million to $14 million per year to spend down that fund
balance. The 2024 Sales Tax Revenue generated approximately $19.9 million.
Steve Groen, Public Work Director, provided an overview of the Citywide Half-Cent
Sales Program projects for 2026-2030 to include the PROWAG Sidewalk Ramp Program
totaling $300,000; Curb and Gutter Program totaling $900,000; Alley Repair Program totaling
$1 million; Pavement Management Program totaling $14 million; Street Contract Preventative
Maintenance Program totaling $4 million; Sidewalk Repair Program totaling $100,000; and
4-08-25
129
Street Light Replacement Program totaling $100,000. The major Citywide Half-Cent Sales Tax
Projects in the CIB include SE Quincy Street from 8th to 10th Streets; NW Menninger Road and
N. Topeka Boulevard; 45th Street from Gage Boulevard to N. Topeka Boulevard; and SW
Topeka Boulevard from 29th Street to 38th Street.
Councilmember Hiller referenced the intent of the Citywide Half-Cent Sales Tax - to
repair the streets to standard. She expressed concern with the CIP proposal outlining $4 million
for annual maintenance, which was not the intent of the passage of the Sales Tax. She stated she
has not yet received a CIP proposal that reserves the Citywide Half-Cent Sales Tax funds for
the street projects that she requested at the April 1, 2025, Governing Body Meeting. She spoke
to her expectation of having itemized project lists for the upcoming year in the CIP.
Director McAnarney reported that the alley projects are completed in tandem with utility
projects as well as the Pavement Management projects which will be sent to the Public
Infrastructure Committee for approval; however, a detailed tentative project list to
Councilmember Hiller.
Councilmember Hiller recommended returning to the practice of including an itemized
list of the current year’s alley and pavement projects at the time the CIP and CIB are approved.
Councilmember Duncan requested a project comparison sheet for the projects being
proposed for the years 2023-2025. He referenced the Street Preventative Maintenance Program
and asked if it was an annual program and if any of the proposed $1 million increase would
offset the anticipated $3 million funding gap in the City’s Street Maintenance Program as a result
of a funding reduction from the State of Kansas Highway Gas Tax Fund.
Finance Director McAnarney reported it has been included in the program for the past
three years at $3 million and it will be increased to $4 million in 2026.
4-08-25
130
Public Works Director Groen confirmed the additional $1 million would not be used to
offset the Gas Tax funding reduction.
Councilmember Ortiz inquired about how alley projects are selected.
Councilmember Duncan asked what the anticipated timeframe for the curb and gutter
repair wait list.
Braxton Copley, Deputy City Manager, reported in conjunction with Maintenance and
Engineering Staff they have redeveloped criteria for by which to judge alley projects ranging
from surface condition to land use as well as underlying utility issues. All alleys have been rated
and ranked on a list accordingly. He stated the curb and gutter repair wait time was up to 1.5
years.
Councilmember Hiller commended Staff for the progress on the curb and gutter program
for reducing the wait time from five years. She pointed out that as they review the CIP in relation
to the City’s operating budget she encouraged the Governing Body to stay in-tune with the use of
Citywide Half-Cent Sales Tax money (cash) to pay for major city projects with the idea if they
reduced the borrowing, it would reduce debt service that in turn would release money that could
be used for preventive maintenance in tight years. She stated the $3 million to $4 million being
discussed corresponds with the funds identified by Staff that could possibly be shifted from debt
service to the operating budget.
Councilmember Duncan inquired about the approval timeline of the CIP and CIB.
Councilmember Dobler inquired on the City’s bonding cap policy requirement.
Finance Director McAnarney reported discussions will continue through April and May
with the hopes to approve the CIP and CIB on May 20, 2025. He stated in 2015, the bonding cap
was set at $27 million over a three-year period.
4-08-25
131
Councilmember Dobler referenced inflation costs and suggested for future discussion that
they revisit the bonding cap amount based on inflation costs at this time as well as anticipated
costs in the future. He noted since 2020 project costs have increased by 40%.
Finance Director McAnarney stated it would be discussed at the April 15, 2025,
Governing Body meeting.
Councilmember Duncan asked if Staff was currently factoring inflation costs in the
project cost numbers.
Public Works Director Groen confirmed they are attempting to factor inflation costs as
well as potential tariff costs.
PUBLIC COMMENT was provided by the following individuals:
Sandar Lassiter expressed concern with the current Fraternal Order of Police Union
Agreement approved by the Governing Body. She stated she believes the FOP should provide
their own insurance for their Police Officers and pay their own attorney fees for an officer that
enters into malpractice, abusive or brutal behaviors. She also stated she believes the citizens of
this city carry a heavy burden paying a city attorney annual salary of $160,000 and who is
allowed to utilize external law firms to assist with work causing additional expenses for the
taxpayers.
Henry McClure referenced the approval of Kansas Senate Bill 104 making it optional for
the Shawnee County Commissioners to create a citizen’s commission on local government. He
expressed concern with allowing the City Attorney to lobby for its passage which he believes has
a direct negative effect on citizen input of local government. He referenced the annual allocation
of $5 million of economic development funds to the Growth Organization of Topeka by the Joint
Economic Development Organization (JEDO) and stated he believes funding would be better
4-08-25
132
utilized for street improvements.

valuable resources, helping to shape the future of the City of Topeka; and

nurturing relationships—play a vital role in helping children thrive by mitigating trauma and the
negative impact of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs); and

based supports reduces the likelihood of abuse and neglect and ensures children have the foundation
for lifelong well-being; and
WHEREAS, effective child abuse prevention activities succeed because of the partnerships created
between child welfare professionals, education, health, community- and faith-based organizations,
businesses, law enforcement agencies, and families; and
WHEREAS, we acknowledge that we must work together as a community to increase awareness
about child abuse and contribute to promoting the social and emotional well-being of children and
families in a safe, stable, and nurturing environment.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, Michael A. Padilla, Mayor of the City of Topeka, Kansas, do hereby
proclaim the month of April 2025 as:
NATIONAL CHILD ABUSE PREVENTION MONTH
in the City of Topeka and urge all citizens to recognize this month by dedicating ourselves to the task
of improving the quality of life for all children and families.

(CST or CDT).
The City of Topeka strives to include as many suppliers as possible to enhance the competitive sealed bidding process. The city is

Disclaimer
The City of Topeka attempts to maintain continuous access to the supplier portal. However, from time to time, access may be
interrupted or prevented due to maintenance, site problems, Internet problems, or problems experienced by the user due to the
user’s computer system. The city makes no warranty that the supplier portal will be uninterrupted or error-free. Regardless of the
source of any problem, it is the user’s responsibility to ensure that its bid is timely received. Because of the discrepancies inherent
in timing mechanisms (e.g. cell phones, computers, mobile devices), the bid time will be determined based upon the time indicated
on the city server for the Strategic Sourcing application. If the user does not submit its bid at or before the time indicated on the
City server for the Strategic Sourcing application, the bid will be electronically rejected by the Strategic Sourcing application as
untimely.
The City shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or exemplary damages, including but not
limited to damages for loss of profits, goodwill, use, data, or other intangible losses resulting from: (i) the use or the inability to use
the supplier portal; (ii) unauthorized access to or alteration of the user’s transmissions or data; or (iii) any other matter relating to
the supplier portal.
It shall be the bidder’s responsibility to advise the City of Topeka of any specifications, language, other requirements, or
combinations thereof that restrict or limit bidding. Such notification must be submitted in writing and must be received by the
Contracts and Procurement Division no later than five (5) days prior to the bid closing. The specifications were written with the
intent of permitting competitive bidding. The City of Topeka reserves the right to waive minor deviations in the specifications that
inadvertently restrict bidding to a single manufacturer (or vendor) or when such deviations do not alter or deter the City from
accomplishing the intended use or function. Each bid shall include descriptive literature and specifications for the product.
However, the provision of this material shall not be considered a substitute for listing deviations.
Amendments to Bids: To ensure maximum access opportunities for users, events and solicitations shall typically be posted for a
minimum of ten (10) days, and no amendments shall typically be made within the last three days before the event or solicitation is
due. Bidders and vendors are cautioned that the competitive nature of their offers could be affected if their submission does not
include all amendments. For this reason, bidders and vendors are advised to revisit all solicitations to which they intend to respond
three (3) days prior to the due date. It is the bidder's or vendor's responsibility to check the website from time to time for updates
to events and solicitations and to pick up additional addenda and information.
All bids shall be considered firm for a period of forty-five (45) calendar days from the bid opening date, unless otherwise stated in
the bid specification document(s).
If bidders have a concern about bid specifications or any term or condition that they believe restricts competition, bidders must
contact, in writing, the procurement buyer assigned no later than five (5) days prior to bid closing. Upon receipt, the procurement
buyer will research the issue and provide a response within five (5) days. Failure to submit a question or concern within the five (5)
day period will waive any right the bidder may have to challenge the bid or a bid award.

Re: Request for Proposal, Stormwater Pump Station Master Plan Professional Engineering and Design
Services—161013.02
Dear Selection Committee Members:
Over many years the Kansas River has shown its devastating power to disrupt the lives of City residents and
damage property. Through the construction of flood control reservoirs and levees, the City has been made
safer in the event of heavy rains coinciding with high river levels. However, the City knows that nature never
sleeps, and constant vigilance and proactive maintenance are needed to protect the City and its people.
To provide this protection, the City operates and maintains a system of stormwater pump stations that pump
and discharge stormwater runoff flows to the Kansas River during times when high river levels coincide with
rainfall and prevent the gravity discharge of stormwater.
Acting proactively to protect the safety of its people, the City is soliciting professional engineering services
to perform a comprehensive evaluation of the condition of its stormwater pump stations. The results of
the evaluation will be used to develop recommendations for prioritized repairs, rehabilitation and other
improvements of the pump stations, and then design such recommended improvements.
The challenge in developing recommendations is the need to achieve multiple goals that can be delivered
in an acceptable timeframe while optimizing spending. The key to delivering on multiple goals is to use a
methodical data-driven approach that can be customized to reflect the City’s preferences and tolerance for
risk and the requirements of regulators, especially the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE).
Bartlett & West proposes using the data-driven asset management methodology we previously used to
deliver improvement plans for the City’s wastewater treatment plants and pump stations. Optimal spending
levels will be identified through consideration of planning, procurement, design, operations, maintenance,
refurbishment, replacement, affordability and risk management concerns. Risk management evaluations
will consider the probability of failure, consequences of failure, redundancy factors, equipment priority
factors and remaining service life for major equipment in the context of each pump station’s most important
functions. These scoring factors will be weighted and used to compute a Business Risk Exposure (BRE) rating
that will then be used to guide decision-making for future planning. Pump station improvements can be
prioritized on a station-by-station basis, or by types of improvements for the overall group of pump stations.

Topeka, KS 66615
(785) 272-2252
www.bartlettwest.com
The foundation of our proposed approach is teamwork. Bartlett & West will work closely as a team with the
City Utilities Department. Our proposed approach will provide a rigorous decision-making process. However,
this process rests on the development of scoring and weighting factors that can only be decided through the
collective participation and input of all City stakeholders. We propose to achieve consensus on the scoring
and weighting factors through working meetings with City stakeholders and Bartlett & West staff. Bartlett
& West’s in-depth knowledge of the pump stations and strong understanding of USACE requirements will
provide the City added value in developing scoring and weighting factors.
Our proposal is our promise. If selected by the City, our company will assign our most experienced staff to
work in close cooperation with the City to develop cost-effective improvement recommendations for the City’s
stormwater pump stations.
We would be happy to meet with you to discuss in depth the specific details of our proposal, and the value
we hope to bring to the City.
Thank you for considering Bartlett & West as a partner to perform this important project for the City of
Topeka.
Sincerely,
Ethan Meyer, PE

PROJECT UNDERSTANDING
The City of Topeka knows that the Kansas River is a force to be reckoned with. Devastating floods are interwoven
into the history of the City. During the 1951 flood in Kansas, massive and unprecedented damage occurred in the
City. The flood reportedly resulted in $34 million of damage in 1951 dollars ($223 million in 2025 dollars) in the
City and struck approximately 7,000 homes and 530 businesses. At least 17,000 people were evacuated from their
homes. As a result of the 1951 flood, flood control reservoirs and levees were built across eastern Kansas. These
systems limited damage during the rains and flooding of July 1993.
In the early 2000s, a study was done to re-evaluate five levee areas along the Kansas River. During the study phase,
the USACE identified vulnerabilities including under-seepage and floodwall stability issues. Improvements were
recommended for four areas of the Kansas River levee. These areas included the Auburndale/Water Works area,
South Topeka, North Topeka and Oakland. Specific improvements included the addition of relief wells and under-
seepage berms, in addition to the construction of the concrete buttresses at the floodwalls. Construction of the
improvements was completed in 2022.
These recently completed levee improvements will make Topeka safer during heavy rains and high waters. The
leveed areas protect 21,000 people, 7,300 buildings and $2.9 billion dollars in infrastructure in the northern part of
the City.
The City knows, however, that a robust system of levees alone cannot protect against the unacceptable risk of lost
life and catastrophic property damage from flooding without a reliable supporting system of stormwater pump
stations. Therefore, it is critical to the safety and health of residents and the protection of property that the City’s
stormwater pump stations operate as designed, dependably and without any interruptions in service. With their
request for proposals to assess their nine stormwater pump stations and develop improvement recommendations,
the City is working proactively to protect its residents and be prepared for emergencies.
Bartlett & West was founded in Topeka 74 years ago, so we understand the importance of this project. Our
company believes in collaborating with communities to build a better future. Building better for the future also
includes managing risk by providing infrastructure to minimize the impacts of probable future weather events and
conditions. With the right investments at the right time, disaster can be avoided. That is a future we all want.
Eight of the pump stations included in the project are located adjacent to the City’s levee system and are designed
to pump and discharge stormwater runoff flows to the Kansas River during times when high river levels coincide
with rainfall and prevent the discharge of stormwater by gravity. The ninth pump station serves the Brittany Place
Mobile Home Park.
A typical pump station serving the levee utilizes vertical turbine pumps that can convey a large amount of flow at
a very low head. Each pump includes its own dedicated discharge pipe that eliminates the need for a valve vault.
The stations also include large slide or roller gates that close to isolate the river from the surrounding areas and
that open to allow flow into the pump stations. The proper operation of these gates is crucial to allow the stations to
function as intended.
PROJECT APPROACH
Our guiding principles are the framework for our everyday conduct to collaborate with the City and deliver this
important project. We will:
• Pay attention to all details and all concerns of the City
• Listen actively and carefully to fully understand the City’s concerns and preferences
• Be respectful of all people involved in the project
• Communicate clearly and frequently
• Be open-minded to diverse views and incorporate various ideas to improve the project
• Ask for continuous feedback during the project so we can improve and make timely adjustments as needed
1
www.bartlettwest.com
Our company believes that we have demonstrated these principles and behaviors on a day-to-day basis in our
project work with the City on many past and ongoing projects.
Bartlett & West proposes partnering with the City to assess the condition and functionality of its stormwater pump
stations using recognized guidance documents in the field and tailoring them to the specific needs and preferences
of the City. Major guidance documents we would include are:
• The United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) Asset Management Framework.
• Water Environment Research Foundation (WERF), Publication 03-CTS-20C, “Condition Assessment
Strategies and Protocols for Water and Wastewater Utility Assets”, 2007.
• “Implementing Asset Management: A Practical Guide”, National Association of Clean Water Agencies
(NACWA), WEF, 2007.
• “Maximizing Public Infrastructure Assets to Minimize Costs and Maximize Performance”, AMSA, AMWA,
WEF, 2002.
• SAE International, “Evaluation Criteria for Reliability-Centered Maintenance (RCM) Processes”, JA 1011 AUG
2009, Revised August 2009.
Our proposed detailed project approach would consist of a kickoff meeting followed by the implementation of six
tasks as follows:
• Task 1 – Develop Asset Ranking Methodology
• Task 2 – Collect and Assess Facilities Data
• Task 3 – Condition Assessment of Stormwater Pump Stations
• Task 4 – Development of Stormwater Pump Station Improvement Recommendations
• Task 5 – Stormwater Pump Station Improvement Design
• Task 6 – Construction Administration
Table 1 (found on page 5) provides a
summary of outputs, decisions and
deliverables that would be associated with
each of the proposed tasks.
Task 1 is highly important. As part
of this task, we will develop a Risk
and Maintenance Strategy Matrix to
assist in decision-making regarding
recommendations. Equipment assets
would be assigned to the five zones: very
low risk, low risk, medium risk, medium
to high risk and high risk based on their
POF (Probability of Failure) and COF
(Consequence of Failure) ratings. Each
risk zone has an associated repair and
maintenance strategy. For example, an
asset with a POF of 10 and a COF of 10 would be in the high-risk zone and need quick attention. The matrix above
is provided as an example. The underlying principle of this example is that POF and COF are generally equal in
importance. The City will likely want to tailor the matrix to their needs based on budgetary constraints and risk
tolerance, and Bartlett & West can help. For example, if there is a higher sensitivity to the risk of consequences of
failure, the high-risk zone could be expanded into COF boxes with a value of 2 to 4. These are issues and decisions
that would be worked through in detailed discussions between the City and Bartlett & West.
Task 2 will consist of the development of and asset registry; and the collection and assessment of available data
and general information for equipment included in the registry.
2
www.bartlettwest.com
Task 3 will consist of the field inspection and condition assessment of all of the stormwater pump stations followed
by the development of recommendations (Task 4) and the design of preferred improvements (Task 5). Our proposed
approach includes a condition assessment of the Oakland Pump Station. We will start the design for the needed
improvements identified for the station immediately following the condition assessment of the Oakland Pump
Station. The specific details of the project schedule could be modified upon the start of the project depending on
the specific preferences of the City and the availability of baseline data.
Bartlett & West will take particular care to address the following items when developing improvement and design
recommendations.
• Communication and coordination with the USACE—The USACE has jurisdiction over the flood control
levees in the City, and any work in and around the levees is subject to their oversight and approval. Bartlett
& West has worked with the USACE on numerous City projects over many years to deliver successful
outcomes. Recent examples of Bartlett & West successful coordination with USACE for permit approval
are the East Side Interceptor, the Ash Street Pump Station Force Main and the realignment of Interstate
I-70.
• Permit Requirements—Improvements to the stormwater pump stations will likely require a variety of
USACE and KDHE permits, and possibly from other regulatory agencies. Bartlett & West will be careful to
determine and address all permit requirements to ensure that planning, design and construction of facility
improvements can proceed smoothly.
• Minimization of flooding risk during construction—Bartlett & West will take extreme care to plan to
minimize the risk of flooding during the construction of pump station improvements. At a minimum,
construction will be planned for dryer months during the year, and temporary bypass pumping facilities
will be included as part of facilities improvement designs. The City and Bartlett & West have successfully
executed this type of challenging work in the past. An example is the Ash Street Force Main Replacement
project when we worked together with the City to replace the influent gates of the Oakland WWTP
headworks in a single night.
GENERAL PROJECT MANAGEMENT
Bartlett & West proposes that monthly progress meetings be held with the City. Our company will on a monthly
basis submit a written progress report that will document the status of the project. We will also communicate with
the City on a steady basis to discuss day-to-day work on the project; and any concerns that may arise as work is in
process.
QUALITY ASSURANCE/QUALITY CONTROL
One of Bartlett & West’s Core Values is “Delivering quality through pride in our work and an attitude of continuous
improvement.” As a part of this core value, we have developed our own internal quality assurance/quality control
(QA/QC) program that is known throughout the firm as our Peer Review Plan.
The Peer Review Plan is a guidance document that lays out a flexible framework for reviewing projects in an
organized, step-by-step approach that is documented and available for review by our clients. Peer reviewers focus
on project elements that may cause constructability issues, liability concerns, excessive project costs, operational
concerns, maintenance concerns and safety issues.
As part of our Quality Assurance/Quality Control program, our team will:
• Plan carefully to execute the project
• Collaborate to head off problems and improve efficiency
• Follow established procedures
• Maintain project documentation
• Check all work for accuracy, completeness and alignment with overall project goals
• Work to improve at all times
3

DOCUMENT MANAGEMENT
Bartlett & West will maintain electronic files for all documents sent or received. Email will be controlled by using
standardized subject lines to allow for efficient sorting after they are retrieved from electronic project mailboxes.
The end result of our procedures will be a searchable database of documents that are easily and readily retrieved.
PROJECT SCHEDULE
The preliminary project schedule is shown on page 14. However, it is difficult to determine the final project schedule
for all of the pump stations until the condition assessment and resulting report is completed as described in Tasks
4 and 5 above. Also, the exact timing of implementing improvements at the Oakland Pump Station will depend on
City preferences. Sluice gates, stems and controllers have been identified as in need of rehabilitation, and design
and construction work for these components could be performed separately from other improvements that may be
found needed at the station after inspection and assessment.
PROJECT DELIVERABLES
Bartlett & West will provide project deliverables as listed in Table 1 found on page 5 throughout the execution of the
project and at completion of the project. The deliverables will be provided to the City at the completion of each of
the tasks listed in the table.
STORMWATER PUMP STATION CONSIDERATIONS
When evaluating the pump stations, we will utilize methods very similar to those that were used for the WWTP
and wastewater pump station evaluations that Bartlett & West has recently performed for the City. We developed
computer applications to aid in the collection of data on the WWTP and wastewater stations as part of the previous
evaluations and can easily modify those application for use in the stormwater pump station evaluations. We will
also review past USACE inspection reports and any other information regarding the station that is available to
provide a comprehensive evaluation of each station.
As mentioned above, the stations utilize vertical turbine pumps. We are familiar with these pumps as we installed
very similar pumps at Ash Street Pump Station 01b. If it is determined that pump replacement is needed, we will
identify the capacity of the existing pumps and use pumps capable of flows equal to or greater than the existing
pump capacities.
The possible need for sluice gate and roller gate replacements are a concern at the stations. We are very familiar
with gate replacements as we designed the gate replacements at the Oakland WWTP headworks and assisted
City and Contractor personnel during the actual replacement of the gates. The gates were replaced by shutting
down four pump stations influent to the headworks overnight. Two of the same team members that will work on this
project were present overnight during the replacement of these gates to assist the contractor in their replacement
and to monitor surcharge levels in the wastewater system to ensure no discharge of wastewater occurred due to
the work. We have also designed the replacement of large gates at several of the City’s large wastewater pump
stations.
We have identified mechanical, electrical and structural engineers as part of our team to aid in the evaluation of the
stations ancillary systems. They will also identify options for providing emergency backup power at the stations.
This will provide for a comprehensive analysis of all systems at the stations.
Bartlett & West understands the import role these stations play in the protection of the city and its citizens from
extreme flood events, and we are eager to assist the City in their rehabilitation.

8:31 am Start
Braxton Copley provided an overview of the material deal terms as follows:
Material deal terms of the proposed development agreement include payment of past due specials of
$2.25/ sq.ft. of the 16 lots owned by Klauman. This also includes a proposed CID to address the future
specials on not only the 16 privately owned lots but also the 3 COT owned lots to spread these specials
out over 20 years.
Future specials context and reasoning is to place them into a CID allowing the City to issue bonds and
spread-out existing specials over 20 additional years. Taking them from roughly $300.00/ month to
$150.00/ month.
Allowing them to be on the same footing as the surrounding lots previously developed. Comparisons
made to subdivision near lake Shawnee and Dultmeier Construction developed homes at Lauren’s Bay.
Developer is contemplating use of RHID for which we are proposing a cap rate of 7.5% as a not to
exceed in the but for test to be developed by Columbia Capital.
PI Committee approved the overall terms of the deal at their February meeting. It will now go to GB on
3/11 for discussion, and 3/18 action.
Amanda Stanley made a Motion Braxton Copley 2nd the motion to present the development agreement
to the Governing Body.
Braxton provides more context as to why this special were so high on this lots. Shared that using specials
to pay for streets, water, sewer created a large cost burden on each lot and was done by previous
ownership.
We do not have signed agreements from Klausmans team at this point.
All committee members were in favor with moving this forward for Governing Body review.

These objectives are carried through out several programs and activities outlined within the plan, while the
Division of Housing Services administers most of these activities. The Consolidated Action Plan also aligns with
the City's annual budget and Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) which enables grant funded programs to be
enhanced with City General Fund dollars and Capital Improvement Budget dollars. Additionally, the General
Fund and Capital Improvement Budget (CIB) dollars serve as required match funds to sustain the City's funding
levels through the various federal grant programs. Programs administered include:
Housing Development/Redevelopment

3. Evaluation of past performance
This is an evaluation of past performance that helped lead the grantee to choose its goals or
projects.
The City of Topeka has monitoring procedures in regards to funds provided by HUD. The procedures
were developed to address federal, state and city statutory and regulatory requirements in addition to
providing City staff with a system of ensuring project compliance and accomplishments. The City reports
annually on the progress made toward meeting the goals established for assisting families.
The City has three major monitoring tools: policies, contract requirements and on-site monitoring. All
projects are evaluated to determine if they are eligible, consistent with local, state and federal
regulations and viable.
Projects funded through CDBG, HOME, and ESG will be managed directly through the Department of
Planning. All contracts contain the federal, state and local program requirements by which each sub-
grantee must abide. Contracts are mailed to the agencies for their review before being executed.
Construction projects that require compliance with federal wage standards are monitored by the City's
Purchasing Department and its contract compliance officers to ensure compliance with Davis Bacon,
BABA and Section 3 as well as all other purchasing requirements.
During the project year, City staff schedules monitoring visits with selected sub-grantees. During the site
visit the monitor reviews and records any evidence of performance in the administration of the
program, benefit to low-income households, procurement procedures, record keeping, etc. The City has
standardized procedures that are submitted to HUD.
During the affordability period the units and related rental documents are subject to regular inspection
and review to ensure the units remain affordable as to qualified tenants, rent levels, and that units are
maintained in program acceptable condition.
Past performance evaluations have demonstrated the need for the projects being funded. The City has
met all of its objectives for the 2024 projects: Infill, Major Rehabilitation, Exterior Rehab, Emergency
Rehabilitation, Accessibility, Rental projects and Homeowner projects, Topeka Opportunity to Own
(TOTO) and CHDO projects. Additionally, the Housing Study has identified the need for the continuation
of all current projects for CDBG, HOME, HESG and Continuum of Care. The Citizen’s Advisory Council
also provides feedback on the need of projects and ensures that the City has met its objectives.

1. Introduction
Obtaining the input of citizens, professionals, and other governmental entities is of the utmost
importance during the draft of the Consolidated Action Plan. Effectively planning for a community would
be difficult, if not impossible, without the support of its residents, especially low-income citizens directly
affected by community development projects and programs. It is for these reasons that citizen
participation is strongly encouraged throughout the processes of community revitalization planning.
Provide a concise summary of the jurisdiction’s activities to enhance coordination between
public and assisted housing providers and private and governmental health, mental health
and service agencies (91.215(l))
The City of Topeka coordinates services for housing with private and public assisted entities.
Health Services are provided by the Shawnee County Health Agency, Veterans Administration, Stormont
Vail, Grace Med and Valeo Behavioral Health Care. The range of services provides access to youth up to
the elderly. The collaboration is essential in providing health care to those in need to help maximize
money and service the community. The child welfare agency is Kansas Department of Children and
Families (DCF) and Kansas Children's Service League; they provide runaway youth programs and
collaborate with the CoC in efforts to help alleviate homelessness. Additionally, the Shawnee County
Health Agency is responsible for youth lead poisoning and gives the City of Topeka updates on the needs
in our community.
Positive Connections provides HIV/AIDS services to the community. The collaboration with the City of
Topeka continues as they are a part of the CoC.
The Topeka Housing Authority plays a key role in the coordination of services for housing needs in the
community. The needs of the THA are key in development of services that the City of Topeka
implements. Every effort has been made to reach out to all parties and get feedback on what they see as
areas for growth.
In 2023, the City implemented a new program called Equity Access Shelter (EAS) that is funded by the
City. This program allows coordinated entry of all services available to a participant without the need to
go to each agency. This program is a result of a determination that the homeless population is not
declining and that the unsheltered homeless population is growing. A Committee was formed to
research this population further and found individuals have to find what services are available, contact
multiple agencies, acquire documents and may or may not receive assistance. The EAS program was
developed to enhance the existing process to provide a single point of access, assist agencies with
assessment, use coordinated entry for prioritization, coordinate more effectively with outreach teams,
Annual Action Plan 7
2025
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
provide follow-up for those receiving assistance and for reporting outcomes. The City expanded this
program in 2024 and increased the budget from 1 Full Time Employee to 4 Full Time Employees to
manage phone calls and coordinated entry setup as well as to partner with getting resources for
participants with partner agencies. The EAS program continues to thrive in giving the homeless
population a one-stop shop to provide them resources available from all agency partners and was
approved to continue in the City's 2025 budget.
Describe coordination with the Continuum of Care and efforts to address the needs of
homeless persons (particularly chronically homeless individuals and families, families with
children, veterans, and unaccompanied youth) and persons at risk of homelessness.
The City of Topeka serves as the lead agency for the Continuum of Care. The CoC serves to coordinate
efforts of all community stakeholders and service providers. As the lead agency, the city has ongoing
constant communication with other providers who serve the chronically homeless, families with
children, veterans, and unaccompanied youth. Examples of these providers include: Kansas Service
Children's League, Veterans Administration, Valeo Behavioral Health Care, Topeka Rescue Mission, etc.
These agencies also address persons at risk to help alleviate future homelessness. The EAS Program also
serves the homeless population and the City received funding from Community partners in 2019 for the
Impact Avenues program which also serves the homeless population to identify homeless youth and
move them into housing through a partnership with USD 501 school district. The Impact Avenues
program was expanded in 2024 with the City funding an additional full-time employee and the City
received another grant in 2024 from the Topeka Community Foundation for an additional full-time
employee as well as service funds to continue funding the Impact Avenues program.
Describe consultation with the Continuum(s) of Care that serves the jurisdiction's area in
determining how to allocate ESG funds, develop performance standards for and evaluate
outcomes of projects and activities assisted by ESG funds, and develop funding, policies and
procedures for the operation and administration of HMIS
The chairperson of the HTF annually appoints a monitoring committee. The monitoring committee is
responsible for conducting the on-site reviews and assessing performance standards. Once the
monitoring committee has made recommendations, the reports are provided to the Homeless Task
Force, which is the governing body of the CoC.
A request for proposal is sent out to the public to apply for ESG funds. Once the scores are established,
a recommendation is made to the Homeless Task Force (HTF), the governing body of the CoC.
The City of Topeka manages the HMIS system. ESG agencies report quarterly on the outcomes of their
programs and activities. Each agency funded with ESG funds is required to enter services into the
system. The City of Topeka has policies and procedures for use of the system that each agency must
adhere to. In 2021, the Topeka Rescue Mission began using the HMIS system for direct entry of their

services and this added information was used for reporting purposes and has enabled the City of Topeka
to have full information on shelter populations. In 2023, the EAS program was set-up to do coordinated
entry into the HMIS system for all applicants.

Expected Resources

Introduction
The Department of Planning administers a variety of federally funded housing and neighborhood programs that have widespread economic
impacts. Four of the primary funding sources are from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). They include: 1)
Community Development Block Grant, 2) HOME Investment Partnership Grant, 3) Shelter Plus Care Grant, and 4) Emergency Shelter
Grants. These programs are identified and administered through the City’s approved 2021-2025 Consolidated Plan, the annual Consolidated
Action Plans, and the Continuum of Care. In addition to the federal funds, Department of Planning receives matching funds for the HOME
Program as well as funds for Youth & Social Services, Special Alcohol, the EAS program, and Impact Avenues from the City General Fund and
private funds are received for the Property Maintenance Repair program KDADS Program and Impact Avenues Program. In addition, CIP funds
are also allocated to identified Targets from the City’s General Fund. For 2025, the City is looking at 3 additional Grants to leverage their current
Accessibility Program, Weatherization program and for Lead Grant Remediation for the City’s Rehab Programs and is hopeful those funds will be
obtained to further leverage the current programs and expand them. The Accessibility Program Grant is for an additional $2,000,000 for
Accessibility projects in the Justice 40 Target Map area for Seniors and the grant application has been submitted. The Weatherization Program
Grant is from EECBG for $176,910 for 10 additional Weatherization projects in the Justice 40 Target Map area and was awarded for 2025. The
Lead Grant is for $4,000,000 for 180 households in the Justice 40 Target Map area over 4 years and has been awarded to the City to begin in

Explain how federal funds will leverage those additional resources (private, state and local funds), including a description of how
matching requirements will be satisfied
The department’s Dreams 1, 2 & 3 program leverages $330,000 in federal housing funds to acquire $1.7 million investment from the city’s
capital improvement funds. The combination of these funds is used to target housing and infrastructure needs in the city’s most blighted and
lowest income neighborhoods.
The City has been awarded $750,000 from FHL Bank running from 2019 through 2021 and was awarded a new FHL Bank grant for another
$750,000 running 2022 through 2024. The City will use this money in combination with their current Rehab programs to address fixing existing
Code Violations. The City was awarded a $500,000 grant running from 2019 through 2023 from Advisors Excel for the Impact Avenues program
that worked in conjunction with HESG activities for Homeless Prevention, and Rapid Rehousing. The City has expanded this program in 2024 and
was awarded another $150,000 for services from Topeka Community Foundation and $150,000 from Advisers Excel in addition to a grant funded
FTE from Topeka Community Foundation for $62,890 and 1.5 FTE's funded through the City of $117,255 to expand these services in 2024. The
City received a grant from Topeka Housing Authority in 2021 for the Emergency Housing Voucher (EHV) program that worked in conjunction
with HESG activities for Rapid Rehousing. The City received a grant from Kansas Department for Aging and Disability Services (KDADS) for
$222,765 that will also work in conjunction with the HESG activities for case management through the HMIS system and funds 1 FTE. The City
approved a new program in 2023 called Equity Access Shelter (EAS) that was funded through the City's general fund for 2 FTE positions that
created a single point of access to assist agencies with assessment and use coordinated Entry in the HMIS system for prioritization to coordinate
more effectively with outreach teams, provide follow-up for those receiving assistance and reporting outcomes. The City has expanded this
program in 2024 to 4 FTE’s for outreach services totaling $261,760. The City is providing $698,000 in Social Service grants to agencies to provide
social service activities as well as $720,534 for the Special Alcohol Program.
The City uses our Shelter Plus Care Grant as match toward our ESG grant and all sub recipients provide match on what is awarded to them on
each reimbursement request. Sub recipients receive ESG funds for Homelessness Prevention, Rapid Rehousing and Shelter activities. The City
provides $100,000 in HOME matching activities through the City's General Fund. The City provides Outreach match for our Shelter Plus Care
Grant in the amount of 5.5 FTE’s as well as case management service match with MOU's in place for 2025 with service providers for the Shelter
Plus Care Grant.

OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
If appropriate, describe publicly owned land or property located within the jurisdiction that
may be used to address the needs identified in the plan
City owned land is often converted to assist the department with infill housing for low to moderate
income households. The land is also used for empowerment projects to build on, or create parks and
sidewalks for neighborhoods.
Land is also used to help partner with service providers with the same mission to help provide
affordable housing opportunities.
The City has set up a Landbank and it has begun operating in 2024. The City hopes to use the Landbank
for donated property to help economic development for the LMI community. The City also has set up a
Housing Trust Fund with $1,000,000 and is currently working on strategic ways to make it self-
sustaining.
Discussion
The City is leveraging federal, state, and local funds to enhance affordable housing opportunities in
Topeka. In addition, we are using our partnerships with affordable housing and social service providers,
as well as other community stakeholders and residents. These collaborations enable the City’s
Department of Planning to maximize the HUD objectives. The City has increased what they give to
Social Services and new programs Impact Avenues and Equity Access Shelter in 2024. In addition, a
Homeless initiative took place in 2024 through Bloomberg Consulting and has identified 3 major
strategies to address the homeless population. The City will be collaborating with partners to
implement these strategies in 2025.

Description of the geographic areas of the entitlement (including areas of low-income and

As adopted by the Neighborhood Element of the Comprehensive Plan, the City's goal is to commit up to
60% of annual Consolidated Plan funding for neighborhood development activities into high priority
intensive care or at-risk neighborhoods or areas. Neighborhood development is defined as any
combination of housing, economic, or capital investment that substantially leverages outside resources
to advance the long-term revitalization of a neighborhood or portion thereof. Five-year funding targets
are established to implement adopted neighborhood revitalization plans for each planning area. At a
minimum, the total funds spent for housing development in high priority areas will be as indicated
during the five-year period of this plan. With minor exceptions, spending in these areas will be
concentrated in multi-block areas that have been strategically identified through a neighborhood/area
plan process for multi-faceted housing in-fill development and rehabilitation.

Table 8 - Geographic Distribution
Rationale for the priorities for allocating investments geographically
Based on the neighborhood health model of intensive care, at risk, out patient,
and healthy neighborhoods, treatment for neighborhoods should be
based on a “continuum of care” approach. Those neighborhoods that are most distressed (intensive
care) require the most intervention and therefore, will require sizeable resources and attention. But if
all relevant resources are devoted to an intensive care area, an at-risk neighborhood
or an unstable outpatient neighborhood may fall prey to blighting influences themselves. To avoid
“pushing the blight around”, a four-pronged approach, or continuum of care, should be employed (these
neighborhoods are not inclusive of all neighborhoods in Topeka and do not represent an absolute
commitment to funding).
Discussion
Based on the Strategic Plan, the City allocates its non-administrative CDBG and HOME to projects and
activities that benefit low to moderate income people. Geographic distribution is used to determine
where disasters are most likely to occur. With the increase of disasters due to climate change, the City
has a plan in place to leverage dollars for future savings by building client resilient homes that will stand
up to disasters, including going above building patterns for roofs with better nails to resist wind and
rain, using energy efficiency and stud reinforced room design to withstand tornadoes.

The City of Topeka has recognized the need of homeless services based on information gathered from
the Topeka/Shawnee County Homeless Task Force (HTF) and census data. The HTF involves agencies
who are sub recipients of ESG funds and others who are funded by the Continuum of Care. There has
always been a level of assistance provided to address homelessness in the community.

AP-60 Public Housing – 91.220(h)
Introduction
The Topeka Housing Authority’s mission is to successfully provide accessible, affordable housing.
Success is defined as: Putting applicants, tenants and participants first; market competitiveness; and
fiscal strength and integrity.
In general, THA is well respected in the Topeka community by elected officials, staff and provider
agencies. In the past 5 years the stock of THA owned/supported housing has increased from 1,739 units
to 2,231 units between HCV, THA, and THA, Inc.
THA typically maintains 95 to 100 percent occupancy for public housing units, meaning there are few
units available at any given time. According to the 2023 annual report, 58 percent of public housing
residents and 55 percent of voucher recipients are single-person households, indicating a strong need
for one-bedroom units. Slightly more than 10 percent of residents and voucher holders are seniors 62
and older.
Actions planned during the next year to address the needs to public housing
Over the next year the Topeka Housing Authority hopes to increase the total number of Section 8
vouchers. Additionally, the THA hopes to increase their landlord base so participants have a better
chance of finding affordable housing.
Another goal of the THA is to increase the number of employed adults by 5%, while taking affirmative
measures to insure fair and equal access to affordable housing.
Actions to encourage public housing residents to become more involved in management and
participate in homeownership
THA encourages and supports Resident Associations at each public housing development. These groups
provide valuable insight to staff and the THA Board of Commissioners on a number of different topics.
If the PHA is designated as troubled, describe the manner in which financial assistance will be
provided or other assistance
THA was designated as Troubled as of October of 2023. This is largely due to low cash on hand as a
result of increased cost of operations due to the economy. Another driving factor was decreased
occupancy as a result of the large amount of Emergency Funding particularly for rent and utilities that
many of THA’s Public Housing Residents used to move to other homes outside of Public Housing. THA
and THA’s Board of Commissioners are working with HUD on a plan to get back to standard performer

designation.
THA has greatly improved their vacancy and are currently at 5%. This has had a positive impact on the
financial side of THA as well and they anticipate receiving an updated PHAS score taking away their
troubled status.
Discussion
Currently THA has 744 public housing units divided among 9 sites in Topeka. The oldest development
was built between 1959-1963 and the newest developments were constructed in 2011. THA maintains
our properties to the best of their ability with the funding that is available. Some of the older designed
units need being redeveloped and we are exploring and competing for different funding options to
rehabilitate or reconstruct the older units. All THA units are part of a PHA plan.

AP-65 Homeless and Other Special Needs Activities – 91.220(i)
Introduction
The City of Topeka has implemented many successful strategies to prevent homelessness,
encourage individuals living on the street to moving to housing, and provide services to those living in
emergency shelters with the goal of successful permanent housing placements. The City leveraged the
HMIS grant to update the HMIS system and begin coordinated entry and to bring the Topeka Rescue
Mission on board to entering their data for 200 beds into HMIS to capture data that had never been
captured in the past. The City implemented a new program called Equity. Access. Shelter. (EAS) that
uses coordinated entry into HMIS as a single point of access to assist agencies with
assessments. Coordinated Entry will be used for prioritization to more effectively coordinate with
outreach teams and provide follow-up for those receiving assistance. Reporting outcomes will be
enhanced through the Coordinated Entry into HMIS. This program is City funded and will leverage
federal HUD HESG funds also going through the HMIS system. The City expanded the EAS program from
1 FTE to 4 FTE positions in 2024 to help with the increased need for good data going into HMIS to
improve the City’s scoring for the City’s Shelter Plus Care Grant.
The City also entered into a Boundary Spanner Agreement with Kansas Department for Aging and
Disability Services (KDADS) in 2022. The Boundary Spanner program is a collaboration between KDADS
and the City of Topeka as the Continuum of Care Lead Agency. The Boundary Spanner takes referrals
from KDADS and other State and Community agencies within Shawnee County for consumers that meet
the federal block grant definitions of Serious Mental Illness, and/or Co-Occurring Disorder. This position
ensures that Behavioral Health Consumers who are homeless or at risk of being homeless are connected
to housing and services. This collaboration also leverages HUD HESG funds through the HMIS system.
The City received a grant from Advisors Excel and Topeka Community Foundation for the Impact
Avenues program that was based on Impact KCK, a program in Wyandotte County. Impact Avenues
helps to significantly reduce student homelessness in Topeka schools in an effort to assist qualifying
students in attaining a high school diploma and to help their families retain stable housing and
employment, among other key skills. The program in Topeka will be the first to use the Continuum of
Care as a support network to assist these families. The Impact Avenues program was expanded in 2024
from 1.5 FTE’s to 2.5 FTE’s, 1 funded from the grant and 1.5 funded by the City.
Describe the jurisdictions one-year goals and actions for reducing and ending homelessness
including
Reaching out to homeless persons (especially unsheltered persons) and assessing their
individual needs
The City of Topeka has a partnership with the Topeka Rescue Mission (TRM), which is the homeless
shelter. The TRM has an outreach team that goes out every day to find and assess homelessness in the
Annual Action Plan 104
2025
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
community. Once individuals have been identified as homeless an assessment of their needs is
completed and appropriate referrals and guidance are provided. The City has routine contact with this
outreach team and participates in the referral process when possible.
Outreach efforts are also recognized at the monthly Homeless Task Force meeting, in which the City
plays a large role. This meeting is attended by all service providers who directly work with people who
are homeless or near homelessness.
The City completed a Homeless study through Bloomberg that looked at Homeless strategies in 2024
and have identified 3 strategies to implement in 2025 to address the increasing homeless population in
Topeka. The City is looking to partner with other agencies to implement these strategies.
Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons
The City of Topeka uses Emergency Solutions Grant funds to help provide Rapid Re-Housing to eligible
participants for deposit and first month’s rent. The City of Topeka allows 100% of the cost to be funded
through ESG funds. No funds are spent beyond the deposit and first month’s rent. When participants
apply for homeless prevention, the City can pay up to 100% of the eligible costs to prevent
homelessness. The participant can receive ESG assistance only one time a year to be eligible.
In addition to this program from HESG Rapid Rehousing and Homeless Prevention, the City utilities their
Shelter Plus Care program for rental assistance and utility assistance for those that are homeless and
have a disability and the Impact Avenues program for Rental assistance and utility assistance for
homeless students.
Helping homeless persons (especially chronically homeless individuals and families, families
with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth) make the transition to
permanent housing and independent living, including shortening the period of time that
individuals and families experience homelessness, facilitating access for homeless individuals
and families to affordable housing units, and preventing individuals and families who were
recently homeless from becoming homeless again
The City of Topeka utilizes ESG funds for rapid re-housing. In addition, the City offers social service
agencies approximately $430,000 in funding, of which 25% is spent on emergency services. These
emergency services help to fund additional rapid re-housing activities. The transitional housing agencies
in our community are very aware of these funds to help individuals transition into permanent housing.
The goal of all our transitional housing agencies is to transition all individuals immediately into
permanent housing. Our CoC and ESG funded agencies give priority to chronic homeless individuals.
Veterans are referred to the HUD VASH program, which has been able to successfully house all the
homeless Veterans. Families with children are given extra services at the mission so they can
successfully transition to permanent housing and not return to homelessness, as well as the Impact
Annual Action Plan 105
2025
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
Avenues program. The HMIS system is used to identify homeless through coordinated entry through the
EAS program.
Helping low-income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless, especially extremely
low-income individuals and families and those who are: being discharged from publicly
funded institutions and systems of care (such as health care facilities, mental health facilities,
foster care and other youth facilities, and corrections programs and institutions); or, receiving
assistance from public or private agencies that address housing, health, social services,
employment, education, or youth needs.
The City of Topeka uses both ESG funds and general fund money for Homeless Prevention. An RFP
process goes out and local agencies can apply for prevention funding. Each agency is required to income
qualify and enter each applicant in the HMIS system. Homeless Prevention assistance is geared towards
helping those from becoming homeless. The agencies work with the institutions to help people move
into permanent housing and prevent them from entering into homelessness. The Emergency Aid
meeting meets monthly to discuss who has available funding to help with prevention. The network of
providers frequently discusses issues related to prevention and best practices for reaching other
mainstream resources.
Discussion
The City of Topeka continues to monitor its goal to end homelessness in our community. It is well
understood that this is a community effort and everyone must work together to maximize resources and
to offer the best possible services. The City is looking to address homelessness by partnering with other
agencies to initiate the 3 strategies identified in the Homeless Study through Bloomberg Consulting to
help reduce the homeless population.

AP-75 Barriers to affordable housing – 91.220(j)
Introduction:
The Barriers to Affordable Housing are as follows:
Public policies affect the low to moderate income households more dramatically. An increase in the
sales tax rate has a much more negative impact on low income households. This is due to a greater
proportion of their income going to consumables and sales taxable items.
Demographics of the Community - The City of Topeka has a large majority of low to moderate income
individuals.
Quality Housing Stock- Homes of quality sell and rent at higher rates that are not affordable to our low
to moderate income constituents.
Lending Practices and Qualified Applicants - All groups involved in providing affordable homeownership
opportunities state the biggest reason more affordable owner-occupied housing is not built or
renovated is because of the lack of qualified applicants. Too often, a low-moderate income household
has excessive credit problems that limit their ability to obtain private financing on the open market.
Lack of a down payment is also a problem.
The FHLB Grant is being used to help repair Code Compliance violations and Change Our Culture of
Property Maintenance program is being implemented to help with the barrier of Code Compliance
violations.
Actions it planned to remove or ameliorate the negative effects of public policies that serve
as barriers to affordable housing such as land use controls, tax policies affecting land, zoning
ordinances, building codes, fees and charges, growth limitations, and policies affecting the
return on residential investment
Despite new challenges associated with local and state economic conditions, the major Obstacles to
comprehensively meeting the needs of a primarily low-income population are continuing
underinvestment, and lack of job center locations.
The City of Topeka recognizes the need for more economic growth. Its collaboration with the Chamber
of Commerce in getting new companies to locate in Topeka could help our low-income constituents
obtain and maintain employment. This effort will continue this year in an effort to lower the
unemployment rate.
Additionally, the City of Topeka will continue conversations with the Topeka Metro, the transportation

2025
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
agency, in helping low income individuals receive low fair pricing to ride the bus. Conversation is
continuing and the city recognizes that a larger transportation route could be beneficial to the low-
income constituents.
Discussion:
Although lending practices and qualified applicants are one of the toughest barriers to overcome, the
City of Topeka will continue its efforts to help first time homebuyers with homeownership assistance
through their TOTO and Major Rehab programs. In addition, a Housing Trust Fund was established and
the City will look to expand housing inventory in 2025 through the Housing Trust Fund and for ways to
make is self-sustaining. The City has also established a Land Bank in 2023 and will look at ways to utilize
this resource in 2025 for Housing inventory. At its June 25, 2024 meeting, the City of Topeka Land Bank
Board of Trustees voted to approve the Land Bank budget and several lots for transfer to the Land
Bank. The goal of the land Bank is to transform vacant and blighted properties into affordable
housing. With the approval by the Board of Trustees to take in lots to the land bank, the process is
moving forward. The five approved lots are already city-owned, but need to be formally added to the
land bank to allow the city to place them for sale. Developers that are interested in purchasing property
from the land bank can view available parcels on the City's public map portal. After finding a property,
they will need to submit the proper application materials to the Board of Trustees. After submission,
the Board of Trustees will review the application and select applicants based on the applicant selection
rubric. Properties can also be donated to the land bank. Those interest in donating a property to the
land bank will need to submit the proper application materials, and then undergo an inspection process
on the property. After submission, the Board of Trustees will review the application and select
applicants based on the property selection rubric.

AP-85 Other Actions – 91.220(k)
Introduction:
To help remove obstacles to meeting underserved needs and improve service delivery, the City of
Topeka will facilitate the existing relationships with social service organizations, disseminate news and
information, eliminate duplication of effort, and spearhead community-wide solutions to local needs.
The City of Topeka will continue to support the use of HMIS technology by all homeless service providers
as a way to link the various categories of services provided in the community and has taken on the
administration of HMIS from the CRC. In addition, in 2024, the City expanded funding the Equity Access
Shelter (EAS) program from 1 FTE to 4 FTE’s to provide a single point of access to assist agencies with
assessment, use coordinated entry for prioritization, coordinate more effectively with outreach teams,
provide follow-up for those receiving assistance and report on outcomes. Finally, Department of
Planning will work with its various departments and divisions to find opportunities for collaboration
between programs to leverage resources.
Actions planned to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs
The major obstacle to meeting the identified needs is the lack of funding resources. Significant funding
cuts in previous years have had an impact on all programming. The City of Topeka will continue to
maintain existing, ongoing efforts to meet the underserved needs of the community. Additional funds
have been obtained from the City's general fund to help in this effort. $1,700,000 is being budgeted for
SORT projects, and $100,000 in matching funds for the HOME grant. The City expanded their social
service contracts in 2024 to $228,000. In 2024, the City also expanded their Social Service grants to
$470,000 being given out to sub recipients administered through United Way. The City will be making
the same funding allocations for 2025. The EAS program for coordinated entry through the HMIS
system continues to grow and was increased from 1 FTE to 4 FTE’s in 2024 with the budgeted amount of
$267,760 for 2025. The City also expanded their Impact Avenues program in 2024 from 1.5 FTE’s to 1.5
FTE’s funded from the City and an additional 1 FTE funded through the grant received from Advisors
Excel and the Topeka Community Foundation in the amount of $117,255 which will remain in effect for
2025. In addition, the City is funding $720,534 to the Special Alcohol program for 2025. All of these
General Funded Activities are used to leverage funds received from HUD grants.
Actions planned to foster and maintain affordable housing
The City of Topeka will continue to support our CHDO and nonprofits, such as Habitat for Humanity, and
Cornerstone, and SENT, Inc. to partner with the City of Topeka in housing projects. These
organizations provide affordable housing to the constituents. The City will provide funding
for owner occupied and renter occupied rehabilitation to assist low income families with maintaining
Annual Action Plan 109
2025
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
their homes.
The City continues to use HUD CDBG and HOME funds for Major Rehabilitation, Infill, Exterior
Rehabilitation, Emergency Rehabilitation, Accessibility, Voluntary Demolition, Weatherization and
Topeka Opportunity to Own (TOTO) Projects as well as for Tenant Landlord/Homeownership Counseling.
The City funded a Non-Congregant Shelter in 2024 and will be funding 3 new Construction and 8 rehabs
with HOME-ARP funds with work to be performed in 2025 for the completion of these projects.
Actions planned to reduce lead-based paint hazards
All Rehabilitation projects require the use of formal paint testing, risk assessment and planning.
Additionally, the paint repair work requires the use of “trained workers”. Since the City has a very large
amount of homes that were built before 1970, it is imperative that we combat the issue of lead-based
paint within the scope of our work. The City collaborates with the state that has a grant for lead
remediation. The City will continue this collaboration and explore other options. The City has applied
for grants to help with reducing lead-based paint hazards and will use them for this purpose if they
receive future grants.
The City has applied for a Lead Grant in 2024 and if this grant is awarded, the City anticipates being able
to do more lead remediation work in 2025 through 2028 in the Justice 40 Target area map.
Actions planned to reduce the number of poverty-level families
The City of Topeka will continue to combat the number of poverty-level families by supporting
incentives to attract, retain, and expand businesses. Additionally, the city will support organizations and
programs that provide job training, education, and placement services. The City began a new Job
Training program project in 2022 for mowing services in the 21 Neighborhood Improvement Areas
training individuals to work and own their own business with the goal of becoming self-sustaining.
CDBG and HOME funds are used to help increase the value of homes through Major Rehabilitation,
Emergency Rehabilitation, Exterior Rehabilitation and Accessibility Modifications so that families can
build equity in their homes.
Actions planned to develop institutional structure
The City of Topeka staff will continue to coordinate with various social service agencies, government
departments, and businesses, to find opportunities to better serve the citizens within the City. These
relationships are integral in streamlining the implementation of our CDBG and HOME projects in a time
of limited funding. Communication will continue to be the key in the success of the programs. The City
of Topeka will continue to foster these relationships to improve the success rate of our programs. The
City has partnered with the Topeka Rescue Mission through the HMIS Grant received in 2019 to upgrade
Annual Action Plan 110
2025
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
the HMIS system and enter all data from the Topeka Rescue Mission into HMIS so that full data can be
obtained for the first time. HMIS is now used by all organizations and Coordinated Entry began in 2023
through the Equity Access Shelter program funded by the City to provide a single point of access to
assist agencies with assessment, use coordinated entry for prioritization, coordinate more effectively
with outreach teams, provide follow-up for those receiving assistance and reporting outcomes.
Actions planned to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social
service agencies
Although the City of Topeka does not own or operate any public housing development, it collaborates
with the Topeka Housing Authority on housing issues. Additionally, the City contributes general fund
money to support the social service agencies to meet the needs of the community.
The United Way is used to administer Sub recipient grants for social services to social service agencies in
the need of assistance giving out $67,000 in CDBG Sub recipient grants, and general fund grants with
$228,000 in social services contracts and $470,000 in grants to social service agencies. The United Way
works with the Coc and Homeless Task Force to select recipients for these grants every year and this
partnership has proven to strengthen the partnerships between the social service agencies and the City
to provide social services to LMI families.
Discussion:
The City of Topeka will continue to coordinate with social service partners and consultant agencies and
organizations to better serve client constituents. HMIS training has been completed for partner
agencies to ensure consistent data entry for good reporting to increase CoC scores and staffing has been
increased to continue and enlarge this process so that the City can get a better picture of homelessness
population and needs so that those needs can be addressed more efficiently and more effectively.

Annual Action Plan 112
2025
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
as follows:
Not Applicable
2. A description of the guidelines that will be used for resale or recapture of HOME funds when used
for homebuyer activities as required in 92.254, is as follows:
The City of Topeka does not provide HUD Grant funds for a Direct Subsidy for down payment
assistance or purchasing assistance to Homebuyers. Once the home is purchased by the
homebuyer, the City provides Rehabilitation of the home. Therefore, the City goes by the Recapture
Provisions for its HOME Major Rehab and CHDO Programs.
The City of Topeka limits the amount subject to recapture to the net proceeds available from the
sale of the home.
The City is using a Pro-rate option and all the appreciation in the value of HOME is retained by the
homebuyer.
The recapture provisions for a regulatory period in accordance with the "HOME Affordability Period"
table are included in all funding contracts for homebuyer activities. The recapture provision happens
if the housing does not continue to be the principle residence of the buyer for the duration of the
HOME period of affordability then the HOME investment amount shall be recaptured on a prorate
basis for the time the homeowner has owned and occupied the housing, following project
completion, measured against the required affordability period. For the homebuyer program the
mortgage is a deferred loan, payable upon sale according to the following conditions. The Borrower
agrees to repay the principal under the following method:
The Second Mortgage shall be partially forgiven by Five thousand No/100 dollars ($5,000.00), upon
the conclusion of the first year of ownership, The Second Mortgage, less the amount above, shall be
forgiven by one-hundred percent (100%) upon the conclusion of the homeowner’s tenth year of
ownership.
If all or any part of the property or interest is sold or transferred by Borrower before the end of the
tenth year of occupancy, payment shall be made in the original amount of the note less a credit for
the forgivable portion of the loan as indicated above. Funds will only be recaptured from net
proceeds available from the sale of the property.
A Fair Return on investment will be determined through a before and after value determined for the
home based on fair market value before rehab and after rehab.
The City will ensure that homebuyers maintain the housing as their principal residence for the
duration of the applicable affordability period through a City Mortgage against the property to
Annual Action Plan 113
2025
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
ensure it is not sold and by verifying utility services are maintained up to the time of payoff of the
mortgage. If continued service cannot be verified, payoff will be calculated to the date services
were shut off demonstrating the residence was unoccupied.
3. A description of the guidelines for resale or recapture that ensures the affordability of units acquired
with HOME funds? See 24 CFR 92.254(a)(4) are as follows:
The homeowners must meet income guidelines and not pay more than 30% of their income
towards housing costs.
4. Plans for using HOME funds to refinance existing debt secured by multifamily housing that is
rehabilitated with HOME funds along with a description of the refinancing guidelines required that
will be used under 24 CFR 92.206(b), are as follows:
Not Applicable
5. If applicable to a planned HOME TBRA activity, a description of the preference for persons with
special needs or disabilities. (See 24 CFR 92.209(c)(2)(i) and CFR 91.220(l)(2)(vii)).
HOME TBRA is used for a one-time security deposit for participants in the Shelter Plus Care
program. The Shelter Plus Care program only serves the chronically homeless with special needs,
persons with HIV/AIDS, chronic mental illness or disabled with rental assistance and utility
assistance for those in the extremely low LMI category. No other HOME TBRA activities are
performed by the City of Topeka.
6. If applicable to a planned HOME TBRA activity, a description of how the preference for a specific
category of individuals with disabilities (e.g. persons with HIV/AIDS or chronic mental illness) will
narrow the gap in benefits and the preference is needed to narrow the gap in benefits and services
received by such persons. (See 24 CFR 92.209(c)(2)(ii) and 91.220(l)(2)(vii)).
The HOME TBRA Activity is used for one-time security deposit assistance for the participants in the
Shelter Plus Care program to narrow the gap in benefits and preference as the Shelter Plus Care only
serves individuals with disabilities, persons with HIV/AIDS or chronic mental illness. The City has
improved the input of data by all organizations into the HMIS system to improve their scores in
hopes of expanding the Shelter Plus Care Program with additional HUD funding to lower the waiting
list and get more special needs applicants housed in 2025 and beyond as the City has seen a greater
need for these services with the additional data obtained from HMIS through coordinated entry.
7. If applicable, a description of any preference or limitation for rental housing projects. (See 24 CFR
Annual Action Plan 114
2025
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
92.253(d)(3) and CFR 91.220(l)(2)(vii)). Note: Preferences cannot be administered in a manner that
limits the opportunities of persons on any basis prohibited by the laws listed under 24 CFR 5.105(a).
Not applicable.
Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG)
Reference 91.220(l)(4)
1. Include written standards for providing ESG assistance (may include as attachment)
The City of Topeka has many standards in regards to ESG assistance. Homeless Prevention is
provided to individuals who are not yet homeless but are near homelessness. Rapid Re-Housing
assistance is provided to those who are already homeless. ESG funds are given to multiple agencies
and they disperse funds based on the required qualifications and on a first-come basis at each
agency. Written ESG standards are attached to the 2021 to 2025 Consolidated Action Plan in
attachments 1 through 34.
2. If the Continuum of Care has established centralized or coordinated assessment system that
meets HUD requirements, describe that centralized or coordinated assessment system.
The HMIS is administered by the City of Topeka, Department of Planning. Department of Planning
uses ESG funds for administration to enter services into the system. The City of Topeka has policies
and procedures for use of the system that each agency must adhere to. The City of Topeka is
monitored by the Homeless Task Force and any administrative procedures are created at this
meeting. The City of Topeka currently is using the HMIS to make referrals to other agencies and to
assess individual’s needs. The City began using coordinated entry in 2023 and is expanded
personnel in 2024 to increase the use of the HMIS system.
3. Identify the process for making sub-awards and describe how the ESG allocation available to
private nonprofit organizations (including community and faith-based organizations).
A request for proposal is sent out to the public to apply for ESG funds. The applications are reviewed
by a committee and scored. Once the scores are established a recommendation is made to the
Homeless Task Force (HTF), the governing body of the CoC. The HTF members vote on whether or
not to fund the ESG agencies. Once approved by the HTF, the recommendation is made to the full
city council for approval. This same process is used for the City funded Social Service grants, with
the exception that they are scored through a third-party contract with the United Way.
4. If the jurisdiction is unable to meet the homeless participation requirement in 24 CFR
576.405(a), the jurisdiction must specify its plan for reaching out to and consulting with
homeless or formerly homeless individuals in considering policies and funding decisions
Annual Action Plan 115
2025
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
regarding facilities and services funded under ESG.
The City of Topeka is governed by an elected body; it is not possible to provide for the participation
of a homeless individual or formerly homeless individual. However, the City of Topeka is the lead
agency of the Topeka/Shawnee County Homeless Task Force which is the governing body of the
CoC. The HTF is responsible for all aspects of the CoC including the ESG policies and procedures. This
body has several formerly homeless individuals in attendance and they have the opportunity to vote
on matters.
5. Describe performance standards for evaluating ESG.
The Chairperson of the HTF annually appoints a monitoring committee. The monitoring committee is
responsible for conducting the on-site reviews and assessing performance
standards. Additionally, the monitoring committee meets quarterly to conduct on-site monitoring
and establish the CoC funding priorities.
The City of Topeka has designated staff to make sure the Department of Planning is following all the
federal and local regulations through the Housing Services Department.

MEMORANDUM
To: Policy and Finance Committee
From: Brandy Roy-Bachman
Date: March 18, 2025
Re: Modifications to Ambulance services Ordinances
Dear Policy and Finance Committee members,
Last year it was brought to legal’ s attention that an ambulance service was operating
within Topeka City limits without having applied for a franchise agreement. This
eventually led to a review of the City of Topeka’s ambulance services ordinances and a
realization that they were outdated and therefore some changes needed to be made.
These changes were imperative due to the fact that the last update to these ordinances
occurred in 1995. Over the past three decades, significant changes have taken place in
the field of emergency medical services, necessitating a revision of the existing
ordinances. The previous ordinances contained numerous references and citations to
laws that have since been amended or repealed or used industry verbiage that is no
longer in use.
Key changes to the ordinances include:
1. Updated Definitions: The definitions section has been revised. The section
regarding the City-County Ambulance Advisory Council has been removed, as it
no longer exists in its previous form. The council’s responsibilities are now
distributed amount various groups, committees, and task forces. There is a
possibility that the City-County Ambulance Advisory Council may be reformed in
the future, or that the current groups may be changed, so the language in the
ordinance should be vague enough that if the committees or task forces change,
the City does not need redo the ordinance. We have also added a definition for
“person,” clarifying that the term can refer to an individual or a business.
References to the State Department of Health and Environment have been
removed, as regulation is now under the Kansas Board of Emergency Medical
Page 2 of 2
Services. Additionally, outdated termination regarding ambulance service types
have been eliminated.
2. Types of ServicesCity provided:
Communications The ordinance no longer distinguishes between
City Hall, 215 SE 7 th Street
different types of ambulances services. The old language referenced Tel: 785-368-0991
outdated
Topeka, KS 66603 www.topeka.org
language and cited to laws that have since been repealed. With these changes,
all operators of an ambulance service which regularly offers and provides
transportation to residents of the City, must apply for a franchise agreement,
with approval based upon the franchise applications and the Council’s findings
that public convenience will be promoted and public necessity requires the
ambulance service.
3. Minimum Insurance Requirements: The ordinances now provide updated
minimum insurance requirements for ambulance service providers. This change
is designed to enhance the protection of both service providers and the public,
ensuring adequate coverage in the event of incidents or accidents. The amounts
of the minimum insurance is discretionary and loosely based upon what our Risk
Manager was able to obtain as it appears that most ambulance companies
carry limits of $1 million per occurrence for their general liability policies.

HOLLIDAY 1st FLOOR CONFERENCE ROOM, Topeka, Kansas, Tuesday, March 25,
2025. The Policy & Finance Committee members met at 1:00 P.M., with the following
Committee members present: Duncan (Chair), Marcus Miller, Michelle Hoferer.
The following is an excerpt of the draft minutes from the meeting:
APPROVAL by the Committee for ORDINANCE concerning Ambulance Services of the
Topeka Municipal Code and repealing original sections.
Ambulance Service Ordinance
Senior City Attorney Brandy Roy-Bachman spoke to a recent ambulance service that was within
the Topeka City limits and had not applied for a franchise agreement. This prompted the need
for ambulance service modifications and updating the definitions. The last updates to the
Ordinance was done in 1995. She spoke to the key changes in the proposed Ordinance. (1)
Updated Definitions (2) Types of Services provided (3) Minimum Insurance Requirements.
Committee chair Spencer Duncan questioned if there are any ambulances that have continued to
serve the City of Topeka without a franchise agreement. He asked if the proposed Ordinance will
help move to get any franchise agreements finalized. He expressed his support for having set
deadlines to ensure all ambulances are complying.
Senior City Attorney Brandy Roy-Bachman responded that currently there are two ambulance
services that do not have a franchise agreement. There is one owner that has requested an
application and has been given a 60-day deadline to complete. The second owner was sent a
notice in the mail but it was returned to the Legal Department due to failure of address. She
stated that with the new Ordinance it will clarify any questions to get the franchise agreements
completed.
Committee member Miller thanked Senior City Attorney Brandy Roy-Bachman for providing
the time frame of the application deadline.
Committee member Hoferer asked for an explanation of an ambulance service vs American
Medical Response (AMR) that is in Topeka.
Topeka Fire Department Chief Randy Phillips provided information that AMR is the primary
ambulance service for the City of Topeka and Shawnee County. He added there are two
Presented at the March 25, 2025 Governing Body Meeting
additional ambulance services currently operating that don't run 911 calls. They do the
interfacility transports such as the Veterans Affair (VA) but no 911 calls. He added that
ambulance services have trained Emergency Medical Service (EMS) staff on them while there
are also companies that provide those type of transportation services, like taking people to
doctor's appointments, that don't have trained EMS staff operating them and they are not
ambulance services.
Committee chair Spencer Duncan spoke to the State of Kansas requirements about having
certifications that distinguish the ambulance services from a non-ambulance service.
Committee member Hoferer inquired about ambulances that transport within the City of Topeka
that are coming from outside Shawnee County.
Senior City Attorney Brandy Roy-Bachman confirmed that the Ordinance would apply to
services that regularly offer transports for residents within Topeka.
Committee member Hoferer noted that the proposed Ordinance, Section 4 has a clerical error.
Senior City Attorney Brandy Roy-Bachman confirmed it would be corrected.
Committee member Marcus Miller questioned if the current ambulance service holders with a
franchise agreement have the proposed Ordinance insurance limits.
Senior City Attorney Brandy Roy-Bachman confirmed AMR currently has higher insurance
limits than the proposed Ordinance.
MOTION: Committee chair Duncan made a motion to approve, with the correction to Section 4,
and move forward to the Governing Body for action. Committee chair Hoferer seconded. Motion
approved 3-0-0.

Citywide Half-Cent Sales Tax Overview 2
• Definition: To be used exclusively for costs of maintenance and
improvements of existing City streets, gutters, curbs, sidewalks, alleys
and street lighting, provided such tax shall take effect on October
1, 2019 and expire on October 1, 2029.
• 2024 Sales Tax Revenue: $19,947,441
• 2024 Ending Balance: $17,519,599
• Going Forward: City increased several programs such as the
Pavement Management Program to spend down the current fund
balance
Citywide Half-Cent Sales Program Overview 3
PROWAG Sidewalk Ramp Program 4
• Public Right of Way Accessibility Guidelines (PROWAG) Ramp
Program provides for the maintenance and installation of
accessible curb cuts and sidewalk ramps at intersections
throughout the city.
• 6,998 ramps are non-compliant with current PROWAG
standards. Priority is given to areas identified for improvement
under the Pedestrian Master Plan.
• The cost per ramp can range from $2,500 to $3,500,
depending on surrounding conditions (grade, right-of-way
availability, utilities).
• 2026 Budget: $300,000; at current funding level 90-120 ramps
can be upgraded annually.
Curb and Gutter Program 5
• Program addresses citizen reported or staff-identified defective
curbs and gutters citywide. Additionally, it supports other
maintenance programs by providing curb and gutter repairs and
replacements within various street repair projects throughout the
city.
• Locations are based on See-Click-Fix and Public Requests.
• 2026 Budget: $900,000
Alley Repair Program 6
• The average cost of an alley replacement is $170,000, thus at the
current funding level, we can do approximately 5 alleys per year
• We have approximately 450 paved alleys in the City.
• 2026 Budget: $1,000,000
Pavement Management Program 7
• Program focuses on the rehabilitation and reconstruction of existing
streets. The city's road network spans 1,622 lane miles, with an
estimated cost of $250,000 per lane mile for a mill and overlay.
• 2026 Budget: $14,000,000
Street Contract Preventative Maintenance Program 8
• Current best practice is to maintain the Pavement Condition Index
(PCI) of good streets through preventative maintenance
• Tools include crack sealing, micro surfacing and Ultrathin Bonded
Asphalt Surface (UBAS).
• Cost per lane mile of micro is $50K and UBAS $90K
• 2026 Crack Sealing project will take place in the northeast quadrant
of the city while the 2026 Micro Surfacing project will be conducted
in the southeast quadrant of the city.
• 2026 Budget: $4,000,000
Sidewalk Repair Program 9
• Sidewalk Repair Program addresses defective public
sidewalks across the City, specifically targeting those not
meeting PROWAG standards.
• The program adopts a "50/50" model, with the City covering
50% of repair costs and residential property owners
responsible for the remaining 50%.
• Income-qualified individuals may have their share of repair
costs covered by the city.
• 2026 Budget: $100,000
Street Light Replacement Program 10
• About 10 light poles replaced per year
• $10,000 for new solar light installation
• 2026 Budget: $100,000

• Legal: Regulatory limits on how funds can be spent
• Citywide Half-Cent Sales tax cannot be spent on new assets; only existing
• Countywide Sales Tax (JEDO) can only be for projects approved under the 2016
resolution
• Infrastructure projects often involve multiple entities such as KDOT, Shawnee
County, railroads
• Projects have to be bonded within 3 years
• Timing: Committing to one project may delay other projects
• Polk Quincy will delay other downtown repair projects because of detour routes

The Public Right of Way Accessibility Guidelines (PROWAG) Ramp Program provides for the maintenance and installation of accessible curb cuts and
sidewalk ramps at intersections throughout the city, in accordance with PROWAG. The city currently has a total of 13,220 ramps, of which 6,222 are
PROWAG-compliant and 6,998 are non-compliant. Priority is given to areas identified for improvement under the Pedestrian Master Plan. Additionally,
priority locations include those where citizens have identified specific needs and roads undergoing major street maintenance. The cost per ramp can range
from $2,500 to $3,500, depending on surrounding conditions (grade, right-of-way availability, utilities). The more challenges associated with bringing the

location into compliance with PROWAG guidelines (longitudinal and transverse slope), the higher the cost. The city is currently able to upgrade between
90 and 120 ramps per year at this funding level.

CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN OVERVIEW
WHAT IS THE CIP?
The Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) is a long-range plan that helps ensure the annual
operating budget, capital improvement budget, and long-term financial forecasts
align and support the City’s strategic goals. The CIP shows capital spending over the
next ten years and is separate from the City’s annual operating budget. The first three
years of the CIP consists of projects adopted as part of the Capital Improvement
Budget (CIB). The first year of the CIB reflects projects that will be initiated and/or
completed during the upcoming operating budget year. The second- and third-year
projects are those for which plans are in the preparation phase.
CIP PROJECTS CRITERIA
To be included in the CIP, capital projects should meet at least ONE of the following
criteria:
Real property acquisition
Construction of new facilities and/or addition to an existing city facility costing a
minimum of $50,000
Remodel/repair of any facility exceeding $25,000
Public infrastructure project
Information technology projects costing a minimum of $50,000
CONSIDERATIONS FOR LARGE SCALE PROJECTS
In 2023 the governing body passed the following measure to where a project over
$250,000 can be approved in the CIP, but the PWI Committee and the Governing Body
still approve a final authorization of the project before it is put out for construction bid.
The resolution is as outlined:
“With regard to a project that is ready for construction and whose total project budget
exceeds $250,000, the Governing Body, after considering a recommendation from the
Public Infrastructure Committee, shall consider whether to authorize the project. If the
project budget exceeds the amount approved by more than 15%, the project shall not
continue unless the Governing Body approves an amended project budget”
3/12/25 3
CIP FUNDING SOURCES
The City uses a variety of funding sources to fund CIP projects. The City will not fund a
project if available funding is not readily available. Funding sources are as follows:
General Obligation (G.O) Bonds
Type of debt security issued by a government or government agency to finance
public projects. These bonds are typically backed by the full faith and credit of the
issuer, meaning that they must be repaid using all available revenue sources.
Revenue Bonds
Backed by the revenue generated from a specific project or source, such as a toll
road or bridge. The issuer of the bond pays back the bondholders with the revenue
generated from the project or source, rather than from taxes.
Citywide Half-Cent Sales Tax
To be used exclusively for costs of maintenance and improvements of existing City
streets, gutters, curbs, sidewalks, alleys and street lighting, provided such tax shall
take effect on October 1, 2019 and expire on October 1, 2029. Below is a link to the
official ordinance: https://s3.amazonaws.com/topeka-resolutions/02018/9032-
citywide_half-cent_sales_tax_ballot_question_2018.pdf
Federal Funds Exchange
Voluntary program that allows local agencies to trade all or part of its federal fund
allocation in a specific federal fiscal year with the Kansas Department of
Transportation (KDOT) in exchange for state transportation dollars. Below is a link the
guidelines:https://www.ksdot.gov/Assets/wwwksdotorg/bureaus/burLocalProj/BLPDo
cuments/FFE/Fund%20Exchange%20Program%20Guidelines.pdf
Countywide Sales Tax (JEDO)
JEDO is funded through the half cent county wide retailers sales tax established by
the inter-local agreement and is to be used for economic development. Below is a
link to the guidelines:

Project Number: 241085.00 Division: Engineering
Primary Funding Source: Fix Our Streets Sales Tax Contact: Vince Schuetz
Multiple Funds: No New Project? No
Council District(s): Multiple 1st CIP Year:
Total Budget $ 3,000,000 Type: Program
Project Description & Justification:
The Public Right of Way Accessibility Guidelines (PROWAG) Ramp Program provides for the maintenance and installation of accessible curb cuts and
sidewalk ramps at intersections throughout the city, in accordance with PROWAG. The city currently has a total of 13,220 ramps, of which 6,222 are
PROWAG-compliant and 6,998 are non-compliant. Priority is given to areas identified for improvement under the Pedestrian Master Plan. Additionally,
priority locations include those where citizens have identified specific needs and roads undergoing major street maintenance. The cost per ramp can range
from $2,500 to $3,500, depending on surrounding conditions (grade, right-of-way availability, utilities). The more challenges associated with bringing the
location into compliance with PROWAG guidelines (longitudinal and transverse slope), the higher the cost. The city is currently able to upgrade between 90
and 120 ramps per year at this funding level.

Multiple Funds: No New Project? No
Council District(s): Multiple 1st CIP Year:
Total Budget $ 25,000,000 Type: Program
Project Description & Justification:
The Traffic Signal Replacement Program involves replacing traffic signals citywide. With approximately 186 signalized intersections, the proposed funding
allows for the replacement of three signals annually, resulting in a replacement cycle of about 60 years. Signal selection for replacement is based on physical
condition, operational issues, and the capabilities of electronic components to detect vehicles, bicycles, and pedestrians. As part of the design work for any
traffic signal replacement project, an analysis will be performed to determine whether the signal is warranted under the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control
Devices (MUTCD). New systems will incorporate the latest technology and comply with the MUTCD and PROWAG. Despite technological advancements
and wear and tear, this replacement cycle helps extend the useful life of signal components.

Project Description & Justification:
In 2016, the Joint Economic Development Organization (JEDO) designated this initiative as a pivotal infrastructure improvement and quality-of-life project,
set for completion through the use of Countywide Half-Cent sales tax dollars. The project involves a section of SW 29th St., stretching from Wanamaker Rd.
to the Shunga Creek Bridge. The scope may range from mill and overlay with full-depth base patching to comprehensive street reconstruction, utility
replacement, and the addition of complete street features, including lighting, shared-use paths, sidewalks, and bike lanes. The final scope will be determined
by the governing body based on construction costs and the projected revenue from the Countywide Half-Cent sales tax. Due to the deteriorated pavement
condition, staff performed a mill and overlay on this section of road in 2023, which typically extends the pavement life by about 10 years. Consequently, we
are targeting this project for construction in 2032 and 2033.

configuration, enhancements will include curb and gutter installations and an enclosed storm sewer system. Notably, no pavement improvements are planned
for the section from Vail Ave. to Lane St., which will retain its two-lane rural character. Successful execution of this project will require extensive
coordination and collaboration with the Union Pacific Railroad, particularly regarding proposed enhancements around the railroad crossing. Initially slated for
design in 2027, right-of-way acquisition and utility relocation in 2028, and construction in 2029, the project timeline has been adjusted. Design of the road
project will now occur in 2028, with construction scheduled for 2029. This project number specifically pertains to the road portion.

Project Description & Justification:
This project entails a comprehensive reconstruction of SE Adams, spanning from SE 37th to SE 45th. The proposed transformation involves converting the
existing 2-lane rural section with open ditches into a 3-lane urban configuration, featuring an enclosed storm drainage system. It is important to note that
width constraints beneath the I-470 bridge may limit the area under the overpass to a 2-lane section. The final design, scheduled for completion in 2027, will
determine whether a 3-lane roadway is feasible for the entire stretch (from 37th to 45th) or if a 2-lane configuration with turn lanes at intersections would be
more appropriate.

Multiple Funds: No New Project? No
Council District(s): 3 1st CIP Year: 2022
Total Budget $ 1,919,775 Type: Project
Project Description & Justification:
The SW 10th Avenue project aims to enhance SW 10th Street from just west of Wanamaker to Gerald Lane. This area transitions from commercial development near Wanamaker to
residential housing to the west. The proposed upgrade involves converting the road into a 3-lane section up to Gerald Lane, with potential future expansion further west. However, a
drainage structure (bridge) just east of Gerald Lane limits the width to only 2 lanes. Two options are being considered: narrowing to a 2-lane section at the bridge and reverting to a 3-lane
configuration further west, or widening the bridge to allow for a continuous 3-lane road. The final lane configuration will be determined during the design phase, based on traffic
projections and growth potential.
The project spans approximately 1,200 feet and will be executed in two stages. The first stage involves a mill and overlay in 2023, funded by Citywide Sales Tax. The second phase,
focused on reconstruction design, is scheduled for 2030 and beyond, ensuring a thorough review of traffic projections before finalizing the design.

Project Description & Justification:
The project necessitates a complete reconstruction of I-70 from the termination point of the PQV West project to approximately SE Indiana, encompassing
the bridges over Adams St. and Shunga Creek. While KDOT will handle the project's design, the City is expected to commit to funding a 10% share of the
construction phase. Replacement of the bridges will reduce the cost of ongoing costly maintenance as the bridges reach the end of their useful life. This
project constitutes a 10% match towards the total project cost, with the City's share currently estimated at $18,600,000, exclusive of bonding cost issuances.

Total Budget $ 6,729,682 Type: Project
Project Description & Justification:
This project aims to enhance traffic operations, safety, and the level of service in the SW Wanamaker Road, SW Huntoon Street, I-470/Wanamaker Exit
Ramp, and I-470/Winding Road entrance ramp areas. Currently, this region faces congestion and operates at a low level of service. The existing roadway
network within the bounded area of SW Huntoon Street, SW Urish Road, SW 17th Street, and SW Wanamaker Road is operating at or near capacity in
multiple locations. Previous traffic impact studies for proposed developments in the area have indicated potential traffic operation failures at several
intersections due to further development. City staff, in collaboration with the Kansas Department of Transportation and a consultant, conducted a Traffic
Impact Study to determine necessary geometric and intersection improvements, as well as access control measures required to accommodate the anticipated
increase in traffic from future developments. There is a possibility of this being a joint City and KDOT project.

Project Description & Justification:
This program aims to eliminate hazards and ensure compliance with OSHA and City of Topeka standards for replaced assets. Recent surveys by the Meter
Services Large Meter Crew identified multiple large meter accounts needing vault replacements due to hazardous conditions, such as collapsing pit structures
and restricted openings. These issues prevent the Large Meter Crew from conducting annual accuracy testing and maintenance, leading to lost revenue. The
Utility Billing section has also faced challenges with estimating multiple accounts due to these conditions. The Utilities Department services 206 large meters
(3" to 8"), primarily used by wholesale, industrial, multi-family, and commercial customers, who collectively use about 1.7 billion gallons of water annually.
Meter Services identified 145 applications for this project, with 10 posing potential hazards, 31 being faulty or untestable, and 104 not meeting installation
standards.

frequently contact Utilities about out-of-service hydrants. Failing to address this issue could result in more service disruptions, longer repair times, lower
water quality, and reduced fire protection. An annual program will ensure consistent funding for hydrant and valve maintenance, involving the rehabilitation
and replacement of non-functioning or deteriorating hydrants and valves in the water distribution system.

Project Description & Justification:
This ongoing program focuses on rehabilitating or replacing existing stormwater conveyance system assets (inlets, pipes, channels, etc.) to ensure continued
operation, reduce maintenance needs, and support other infrastructure improvements. It is designed to maintain a consistent citywide level of service for the
stormwater system. In some cases, smaller improvements may be made to meet current standards or address localized issues too minor for standalone capital
projects. When feasible and cost-effective, innovative rehabilitation methods such as plastic or cement pipe lining will be pursued. This annual program often
supports Citywide Half Cent sales tax projects and is crucial for timely replacement of failed pipes identified through CCTV inspections or other indicators,
such as sinkholes. Most assets targeted by this program are expected to be 50-100 years old unless their lifespan has been reduced by external factors.
Rehabilitation or replacement of these assets is essential for protecting life and property throughout the City.

To avoid a reactive approach to asset failure, the City is proactively identifying pipes that can be rehabilitated before they deteriorate to the point of requiring expensive emergency
repairs or open-cut replacements. This investigation and assessment are based on asset management principles, with prioritization determined by the Business Risk Exposure (BRE)
score, which considers both asset defects and criticality. Criticality takes into account the pipe's characteristics as well as social and environmental factors, such as proximity to water
bodies, major roadways, and critical infrastructure. This program also supports the City's Neighborhood Improvement efforts by proactively conducting rehabilitation, replacement,
observation, and analysis of sanitary infrastructure in relevant areas. Each year, the program includes evaluation, design, and construction administration services to implement
rehabilitation strategies for the sanitary interceptor sewer system, prioritized through the City's asset management program. This replacement and rehabilitation initiative enhances the
integrity of our sanitary infrastructure while ensuring regulatory compliance and meeting established service level thresholds. Individual projects may be grouped or administered
separately as needed, supporting compliance with the Consent Agreement from the Kansas Department of Health and Environment.

Project Description & Justification:
This project supports the purchase of essential police vehicles for community-wide service. Maintaining a viable fleet is crucial, as the majority of Police
Department vehicles are consistently in use across city territories. To prevent disruptions in service, older fleet vehicles are reassigned to officers with special
functions. This approach ensures efficient utilization of department assets, contributing to a workable number of vehicles for all public safety functions.

Project Name: HyperConverged Infrastructrue Upgrade Department: IT
Project Number: 900052.00 Division: IT
Primary Funding Source: Operating Fund IT Contact: Randi Stahl
Multiple Funds: No New Project? No
Council District(s): Multiple 1st CIP Year:
Total Budget $ 500,000 Type: Project
Project Description & Justification:
The City has moved away from a server/storage area network infrastructure to a Hyper Converged Infrastructure (HCI). In a HCI, all the servers and storage
are converged into one hardware platform. The purpose of this project is to refresh the HCI hardware infrastructure. The HCI infrastructure hosts all 100-
servers and storage for all 100-servers across the City. Server hardware operates continuously and has an average lifespan of 4-years or 35,040 hours. A
hardware failure of the HCI platform could lead to a loss of all 100-servers across the enterprise resulting in the loss of business operations across the City.
Project total cost is estimated at $500,000 with a funding strategy of financing through Dell Financial Services for a 48 month term. At the 4-year mark of
2029, the project will need to be repeated as we will again be at end of life. Assessment of future needs and costs (beyond current 4-year cycle) are deferred at
this time due to expectations of cost structure changes and technology changes in the interim.

Project Name: Wireless Access Points - Upgrade/Expansion Department: IT
Project Number: 900055.00 Division: IT
Primary Funding Source: Operating Fund IT Contact: Randi Stahl
Multiple Funds: No New Project? Yes
Council District(s): Multiple 1st CIP Year:
Total Budget $ 1,974,000 Type: Project
Project Description & Justification:
The purpose of this project is to replace all 80 Wireless Access Points (WAP) and expand to additional 25% (n=20) WAP to meet wireless connectivity demand to facilitate mobile in-
facilioty computing needs. Approximately 16 WAPs remains to be replaced in 2026 and 20 for additional are planned in 2027. Existing, non-replaced WAP are aging, are beyond
expected lifecycle, and are near or beyond end-of-life support. This leads to an increased risk of failure. A failure of Wireless Access Points would result in loss of network and internet
services in areas across the enterprise when employees are tethered to a physical network cable. Over the past 4 years, 64 WAP have been replaced leaving an additional 16 to complete
the replacements and 20 for expansion for a total of 100 across the city entity. Beginning in 2028, the 5-year replacement cycle of 20% per year begins. Non-discounted price for WAP
presently stands at $28,000 per device with license. We anticipate a 50% discounted similar to past. Anticipated life span of each WAP is approximately 5 years; we anticipate
replacement cycle is at 20% per year starting in 2028. We anticipate 25% tariff cost pass-on in years 2027 forward.

of the governing body.
