Councilmember Valdivia-Alcala spoke to the importance of having mental health
professionals available for mental health call response. She stated she believes there needs to be
increased training in de-escalation calls for police officers and mental health professionals who
would provide some guidance in these situations.
Councilmember Kell expressed the need to address Animal Control 911 operations with
Shawnee County. He suggested improving interactions between students and the School
Resource Officers (SRO) and encouraged the City to ask School Districts to pay a higher
percentage for the service.
Councilmember Ortiz spoke to the importance of the SRO program and questioned what
the ideal age was for recruitment. She referenced the (Topeka Center for Advanced Learning
(T-CAL) Program and the positive influence it has on community youth and questioned if Chief
Vallejo has terminated the partnership.

and the importance of being able to trust his judgement on making changes. She stated she
looks forward to how he plans to address the dire situation related to resources for Crisis
Prevention Officers.

05-13-25
159
Program and urged Chief Vallejo to explain the change in the program.
Mayor Padilla requested Chief Vallejo consider reviewing the use of non-sworn officers
that assist with medical calls and other non-emergency calls to supplement the SRO program.
He suggested gaining more of a social media presence to inform the Youth of the Cadet
Program and recommended a retired police officer with good credentials be used to help sustain
the T-CAL program instead of a sworn officer that could be used elsewhere.
Councilmember Kell stated he concurs with statements made by Mayor Padilla.
Councilmember Hiller stated she was pleased to be provided with this initial report and
noted, she has received good feedback from police officers.
Councilmember Duncan stated he looks forward to routine updates from TPD and
requested Chief Vallejo notify the Governing Body of any changes to long-standing programs
or community relationships, so they remain informed.
Topeka Police Chief Vallejo spoke to the importance of the Crisis Assistance Helping
Out on the Streets (CAHOOTS) Program, a two-person response team having a
Counseling/Medical background to respond to crisis calls. He stated he understands the value of
School Resource Officers; however, he must evaluate the best place to use his resources
including the use of SROs.

program for the City of Topeka.
AN UPDATE on the City of Topeka 2022-2024 Unsheltered Programing and Investment
Review was provided by Carrie Higgins, Director of Housing Services; John Schardine,
Director of Property Maintenance; Topeka Police Chief Chris Vallejo; and Rhiannon Friedman,

05-13-25
160
Councilmember Duncan recommended the City of Topeka seriously consider the
“Topeka First Initiative” which would be the same type of program that the City of Lawrence,
Kansas, has implemented
City Manager, Dr. Robert M. Perez, spoke to the current process being used in Lawrence
and reported, if they have an unsheltered person that was not from Lawrence, they provide
stabilization services to that person until they are able to assist with establishing services in the
community they are from.
Councilmember Valdivia-Alcala referenced the trend of criminalizing homelessness
across the nation as a solution which she believes would require more resources than they have
available. She recommended adding this topic to the 2026 Legislative Agenda and making
certain the Legislature understands what Topeka was doing and how much money was being
spent to address the homelessness situation by the City of Topeka. She suggested partnering
with Shawnee County as well as the Correctional Facility with the intent of addressing issues
and the budget shortfall. She spoke to the need to be more aggressive overall and with the
“Built for Zero” model which has proven methodology. She requested to begin receiving a
breakdown on abatements for both private and public property every six months and spoke to
the need for the City to start being more aggressive on the collection of code violations.
Councilmember Banks stated he believes the process needs to be basic so that Citizens
can be convinced the issue was being addressed. He expressed his concerns about the dangers
the long-term encampments bring to citizens, and questioned how Staff determines when and
where to clean a campsite
Councilmember Miller asked if there was a way to work with community volunteers to
reduce the costs associated with clearing camps.
05-13-25
161
Director Schardine provided an overview of the clean-up process. He explained the
condition of the camp sites determines how areas are prioritized and working with volunteers
was an option; however, there may be some encampments that require the use of heavy
machinery and involve serious public health and safety situations
Councilmember Valdivia-Alcala stated she concurs that there are serious public health
and safety issues associated with camp abatements. She commended Director Schardine and his
crew members for their work.
Councilmember Hiller questioned how long the City waits before they begin the clean-up
process because most camps start out very small, which would cost much less to clean up. She
questioned if the protocol has advanced to include more than just the size of the camp but also
other code violations.
Councilmember Ortiz thanked employees for their work on cleaning up camps and
questioned if violent incidents occur on a routine basis.
Director Schardine reported there have been incidents occur, and he thanked the Police
Department for their assistance during these types of situations.

inquired on the condition of the Wheel Barrel Restaurant after a car had driven through the store
front.

they received from many people in reopening the doors of the Wheel Barrel Restaurant as
quickly as possible. He explained with the TGT funds the three projects would help enhance the

events.

work in creating the NOTO Arts District.
Councilmember Valdivia-Alcala moved to approve the resolution. The motion seconded
by Councilmember Ortiz carried unanimously. (10-0-0)

ORDINANCE NO. 20560 introduced by City Manager Dr. Robert M. Perez to waive
certain building permits and other fees as requested by the developer for economic purposes
pursuant to City Code, was presented.
Rhiannon Friedman, Planning and Development Director, reported AMD Partners, LLC
has proposed a 48-unit affordable senior housing development near SW Arvonia Place and SW
17th Street. She stated AMD was preparing an application to KHRC for a 9% Low Income
Housing Tax Credit that was a competitive process through which projects are awarded funding
based on a point scoring system. She explained fee waivers from local jurisdictions provide
valuable points that can be very decisive, and stated AMD has requested a waiver.
Councilmember Valdivia-Alcala spoke in opposition of the request, although she
understands the need for senior housing in Topeka. She expressed concern with the on-going
issues the City continues to have with the Kansas Housing Resources Corporation (KHRC) and
problematic properties, specifically Timberlee Apartments and Moto Power Place.
Councilmember Duncan explained as of July 1, 2025, the tax credit program will shrink
significantly which could be why the applicant was pushing for approval of the application.
Braxton Copley, Deputy City Manager, stated Staff was recommending approval to
waive $40,000 which would entitle the applicant to five points.
Councilmember Miller moved to adopt the ordinance. The motion seconded by
Councilmember Kell carried. Councilmembers Valdivia-Alcala and Banks voted “no.” The
Mayor does not vote.
The ordinance was adopted on roll call vote as follows: Ayes: Councilmembers Hiller,

DISCUSSION regarding the 2025 National Night Out Event Framework, was presented.

Night Out events were hosted by PARS (Prevention and Recovery Services), whose efforts
helped bring neighborhoods together and promote safety, awareness, and community connection.
She stated they recognize and appreciate their contributions to fostering stronger community
engagement through these events and as they move forward with planning this year’s National
Night Out, they are seeking the guidance of the Governing Body on the event’s overall structure
to ensure it reflects shared goals of strengthening community engagement and promoting public
safety. The following options were presented for consideration:
Option 1: Hybrid Format (The week of August 9th, 2025.)
• Four weeknight events hosted at individual community centers across the city.
• Complimentary refreshments (Four weeknight events only)
• Followed by one large citywide event held on Saturday, August 9th at Agricultural
Hall.

unified celebration

will have the opportunity to apply for a stipend, up to $200, to support their own NNO events.

Randy Phillips, Topeka Fire Chief, stated they would be willing to coordinate Touch a
Truck events for the NNO event.
Mayor Padilla expressed his appreciation to Staff for allowing the Governing Body to be
part of the decision-making process for the event.
Councilmember Hiller questioned the need for a large event if there are plans to have
smaller events.
Director Glaude stated the large event provides an option for those who do not have
neighborhood events available to them.
It was the consensus of the Governing Body to host one large event while encouraging
individual neighborhood events and to partner with local companies for donations.
DISCUSSION regarding a request from EMS Unlimited Inc., to operate an ambulance
service within the City of Topeka, was presented.
Amanda Stanley, City Attorney, reported when the City was notified there were
businesses operating ambulance services without franchise agreements, those businesses were
05-13-25
167
contacted and advised that a franchise must be granted for them to operate legally in city limits.
She stated the city received an application from EMS Unlimited, Inc., on April 22, 2025.
Ebin Latrimurti, Founder and President of EMS Unlimited, Inc., provided an overview of
their services that fill an essential service gap to transport from rural areas to larger area

agreements.

program for the Housing Services Division, was presented.

Kansas Legal Services has successfully provided eviction defense program administration
services during the initial contract term.
Nick Blessing, Kansas Legal Services, provided an overview of the scope of work
providing for a variety of free housing legal services to eligible tenants who live in the city of
Topeka. He reported the program was designed to assist participants in stabilizing their current

key program wins.
05-13-25
168
Councilmember Valdivia-Alcala expressed the importance of tracking specific data
associated with zip codes and associated landlords to determine actual numbers as it relates to
the Changing Our Culture of Property Maintenance (COCPM) initiatives and if those initiatives
are working with multi-family dwellings.
Director Higgins stated they have detailed information outlining some of the requested
information that could be passed on to the Governing Body.
Councilmember Miller expressed the importance of expending funds for attorney services
instead of administrative services and providing Staff with the legal tools to be as aggressive as
needed to address certain situations.
Nick Blessing stated he was confident they would use the full funding amount in 2025.
Amanda Stanley, City Attorney, confirmed the revised language ensures Staff has the
legal authority to be more aggressive when needed.

would continue on May 20, 2025, with intent to approve the CIP and CIB on June 3, 2025.
Councilmember Hiller expressed concern with extended bonding terms from 15 to 20
years because the City would spend more money on interest and payments in the long term. She
encouraged the Governing Body to optimize spending cash on projects and not just concentrate
on reducing the overall debt service and place preventive maintenance items back in the
operating budget.

being spent on the case. She spoke to the need of increased de-escalation training for police
officers and the importance of the Fraternal Order of Police being responsible for behavior

prevention to create a city where everyone can thrive.
Henry McClure expressed concern with the amount of tax dollars being spent on
economic development. He stated he believes the City needs a uniform development agreement

community. This includes following State law for Community Improvement Districts and Tax
Increment Finance Districts.

NOTO Arts & Entertainment District Presentation
Josh McAnarney, Budget & Finance Division Director, provided background information on
the unallocated balance of $52,114.60 of undistributed Transient Guest Tax funds. The TGT
Committee on March 6, 2025 expressed it was time to appropriate the funds. He added an
application was submitted based off the 2016 application process from NOTO Arts and
Entertainment District.
Pedro Concepcion, CEO of NOTO Arts and Entertainment District, expressed his appreciation
for giving NOTO the chance to apply for the TGT funds. He continued to speak to the criteria
NOTO completed for the application and how Topeka’s cultural tourism will have enhancements
to signage and public art to provide the experience for the community and visitors. He believes
the $52,114.60 will make a big impact and help create programs for development.
Committee member Valdivia-Alcalá expressed her support for the TGT funds allocation to
NOTO. She thanked Pedro Concepcion for a good presentation.
Committee member Duncan passed on his support for TGT funds for NOTO and added that he
would’ve like the funds to be more. He continued to speak to the structure of distribution.

Kurt Young, Topeka Lodging Association and Downtown Topeka Foundation, spoke to the
original monies of disbursement that he was involved in. He stated that the TGT Committee, at
Presented at the May 13, 2025 Governing Body Meeting Page 1
the time, looked at return on investment very heavily. He expressed his message for future
organizations that receive allocations to continue to track a return on their investment in travel
and tourism. Lastly, he added that hotel occupancy from closure of events could lead to TGT
revenues to decrease.
Sean Dixon, President of Visit Topeka, stated he supports the NOTO application. He continued
to speak to being mindful of the return on investment with TGT funds and concurred that hotel
rooms demand is at a lull.
Committee member Valdivia-Alcalá stated she wants all agencies, not only NOTO, to have the
same message to all TGT recipients that was given from Topeka Lodging Association.
Pedro Concepcion added he agrees that all agencies should be held accountable with TGT funds.
Committee chair Hoferer stated that 1st quarter updates and reports from agencies have been
completed.
Committee member Duncan spoke that the TGT Committee does ensure the return on investment
of funds that are distributed. He stated he is not worried about the return on investment in the
NOTO district and feels the funds allocated are helping to encourage people to return to the area.

***************************
Presented at the March 18, 2025 Governing Body Meeting Page 2
Dear Members of the TGT Committee,
On behalf of the NOTO Arts & Entertainment District, I am honored to submit our proposal
for Transient Guest Tax (TGT) funding. Our request outlines a strategic plan to enhance
Topeka’s cultural tourism through dynamic programming, public art, regional marketing,
and creative placemaking efforts that support both the local economy and our city's growing
reputation as a vibrant destination.
NOTO has become a cultural anchor and a compelling reason for residents and visitors
alike to explore the capital city. With over 60 creative businesses and a year-round
calendar of events, the district is not only a hub for artistic expression but also a key
contributor to economic activity, tourism, and community pride. We estimate over 146,000+
annual visitors, many of whom travel from outside the region—generating direct returns for
our hotels, restaurants, and shops.
Our proposal seeks $53,000 in TGT funding to leverage regional campaigns, support local
artists, and activate public spaces. This investment will not only amplify Topeka’s visibility
across the Midwest but also reinforce the City’s commitment to a thriving, inclusive arts
economy. With strong partnerships already in place—including Visit Topeka, the Kansas
Department of Tourism, WIBW, and local businesses—this initiative is designed for impact,
sustainability, and meaningful return on investment.
Thank you for considering our application. We deeply value the City’s support and remain
committed to growing Topeka’s cultural economy in a way that benefits all. Please do not
hesitate to reach out if you require additional information or supporting materials.
Warm regards,
Pedro Concepcion

TGT Funding Application: NOTO Arts &
Entertainment District
Project Name: Strengthening Topeka’s Tourism through the Vibrancy of the NOTO Arts
District
Applicant: NOTO Arts & Entertainment District
Primary Contact: Pedro Concepcion, CEO
Project Summary:
The NOTO Arts & Entertainment District respectfully submits this application for TGT
funding to support ongoing revitalization and programming efforts aimed at enhancing
NOTO’s position as a premier destination for arts, culture, and entertainment in Kansas.
This investment will directly elevate Topeka’s tourism profile by expanding the city's
cultural appeal, drawing regional visitors, and supporting a thriving small business and
artist ecosystem.
Why Invest in NOTO for Tourism?
NOTO is a proven catalyst for cultural tourism and economic growth in Topeka. With a
unique identity rooted in creativity, community, and cultural heritage, the district offers
visitors an experience they cannot find anywhere else in the state. Here's why investing in
NOTO is essential for tourism:
- A Cultural Destination: NOTO is home to over 60 creative businesses, galleries, studios,
and performance spaces. Monthly First Friday events, large-scale public art, and seasonal
festivals consistently draw thousands of visitors, establishing NOTO as a key driver of
cultural tourism.
- Diverse Visitor Base: With targeted marketing reaching across Kansas and neighboring
states, NOTO draws audiences from 2–4 hours away for its events, markets, and exhibits.
This includes partnerships with the Kansas Department of Tourism and Visit Topeka to
produce video ads and digital campaigns focused on travel.
- Authentic Storytelling: From Día de los Muertos ofrendas to jazz nights and art walks,
NOTO gives visitors immersive, authentic experiences rooted in local heritage and
contemporary creativity—perfectly aligned with tourism trends focused on experience over
destination.
- Economic Impact: Increased foot traffic directly supports the small business economy.
Art sales, restaurant visits, boutique shopping, and overnight stays have grown as a result of
district-wide programming and marketing efforts.
- Collaborative Growth: Our partnerships with the Topeka Symphony Orchestra, Visit
Topeka, Mad Marketing, Create Uplift, WIBW, and local schools show how NOTO builds
bridges between community, culture, and commerce. Our continued evolution aligns with
broader downtown revitalization efforts like the Downtown Plaza project.
Funding Request & Impact: $53,000
TGT funding will support:
- Activation of public spaces through seasonal programming $15,000
- Enhancements to signage, wayfinding, and public art $38,000
Tourism Impact Metrics:
- 146,000+ annual visitors to NOTO events
- Regional marketing reach: 6+ targeted communities in KS/MO
- Increased hotel and restaurant patronage during large events
- Strong return visitation based on experience satisfaction
Enhancements to Signage, Wayfinding, and Public Art
We continue to prioritize improvements that elevate the visual and cultural identity of our
district. A key example is the much-needed repair of the iconic Topeka Mural—a symbol of
local pride and artistic expression. In addition to this landmark piece, several other murals
throughout our district are in need of maintenance. These walls showcase the vibrant,
diverse art that defines our community, and restoring them is essential to preserving the
spirit of NOTO.
But we’re not stopping there. We have ambitious plans for new public art installations
designed to draw even more people to Topeka. These enhancements are part of our broader
strategy to double down on the arts and solidify our role as a thriving, nationally recognized
arts district. By investing in both preservation and innovation, we aim to create a place
where creativity leads to economic and community development.
From left to right:
the iconic Topeka Mural, the vibrant elephant mural at the corner of Laurent and Gordon,
and our new sidewalk art initiative set to brighten the 800–900 blocks of Kansas Avenue.
Conclusion:
Investing in NOTO means investing in the heart and soul of Topeka’s tourism brand. It is a
place where culture thrives, where visitors feel inspired, and where community comes alive.
TGT funding will ensure NOTO continues to be a regional draw and a key contributor to
Topeka’s economic and cultural success.
NOTO Arts & Entertainment District –
TGT Funding Application
1. Describe the Project
The NOTO Arts & Entertainment District seeks TGT funding to support a comprehensive
initiative aimed at expanding its impact as a premier cultural destination in Topeka. The
project will enhance public programming, grow regional marketing campaigns, support
local artists and cultural partners, and activate public spaces with seasonal events and art
installations. These efforts will elevate visitor experiences and drive increased tourism
throughout the year.
2. What is the total budget for the project?
$53,000
3. What are the funding sources other than TGT dollars for this project?
- Private sponsorships (e.g., corporate partners and local businesses)
- Artist vendor fees and event revenues
- Grant support from arts, tourism, and community foundations
- In-kind support from media and marketing partners (e.g., WIBW, Mad Marketing)
4. How much TGT Funding is requested?
$53,000
5. What will the TGT funds be used for?
- Infrastructure and beautification (e.g., signage, wayfinding, lighting)
- Seasonal activations (e.g., winter markets, holiday décor, cultural festivals)
- Event logistics and operational support (e.g., security, staging, rentals)
6. What is the economic development and tourism benefit to the city?
NOTO plays a vital role in Topeka’s cultural and economic development. Events and
programs in the district drive traffic to local restaurants, shops, and hotels. Visitors from
across the state and region spend money not just in NOTO but throughout the city. The
district also supports dozens of local businesses and artists, contributing to job creation and
urban revitalization. Investing in NOTO enhances Topeka’s appeal as a creative and
forward-thinking city.
7. What is the projected return on investment for the city (direct and indirect)?
- Direct ROI: Visitor spending at NOTO events has been shown to benefit local businesses
significantly, with an estimated $2 return for every $1 spent in direct programming.
- Indirect ROI: Marketing and brand recognition efforts lead to long-term gains through
repeat visitation, improved city image, and the attraction of new residents, businesses, and
investors.
- Example:
• A $10,000 art market may bring in 2,000 visitors.
• If even half of those visitors spend an average of $20 on food, drinks, or shopping,
that’s $20,000 injected directly into the district economy—double the initial
investment.
• During large events like the Redbud Festival or First Fridays, some shops report
doubling or tripling their normal sales.
This ROI doesn’t include indirect benefits such as brand exposure, long-term customer
loyalty, or future visitation—all of which further magnify the return over time.
8. What is the timeline for the project?
The project will span the 2025 calendar year, with marketing initiatives launching in Q1 and
event activations occurring throughout spring, summer, fall, and the holiday season. Key
seasonal events will serve as major tourism drivers in coordination with Visit Topeka and
partner organizations.
9. How many visitors will come to your project?
We anticipate over 146,000+ annual visitors to NOTO programming, including First Fridays,
themed markets, festivals, and performances. Based on past data, approximately 30% of
attendees travel from outside Topeka.
10. How will your project create overnight stays at hotels?
Our regional marketing campaigns specifically target communities within a 2–4-hour drive,
making NOTO events ideal for weekend visits. High-profile festivals, art markets, and
performances are designed to span full weekends, encouraging visitors to stay overnight.
We work closely with Visit Topeka and local lodging partners to create event packages,
cross-promotions, and hotel referrals during major events. Additionally, partnerships with
the Topeka Symphony and city-wide initiatives amplify this effect by offering multi-day
experiences that boost hotel occupancy rates.
Enhancements to signage, wayfinding, and public art
Sidewalk Art Concept Statement
The Sidewalk Art Project aims to create vibrancy along the 800–900 block of
Body
Kansas Avenue through engaging, artistic sidewalk installations. The concept
has received preliminary approval from the City, and we are now moving into
the next phase of development: establishing a detailed budget, finalizing the
art concepts, and creating a project timeline.
North Kansas Avenue Bridge Mural
The North Kansas Avenue Bridge Mural has been officially approved
and is scheduled to begin in July 2025, with a projected completion
date of July 2026.
The final concept is still in development. We are currently surveying
the community to gather input and ensure the mural reflects shared
values and stories. Our goal is to create a powerful visual piece that
honors the history of Topeka and celebrates the achievements of its
people.
Art Repair: Preserving Iconic NOTO Murals
Two iconic murals in the NOTO Arts District are in need of repair. These artworks
have become staples in both the Topeka community and its tourism identity,
featured in everything from local publications to statewide tourism magazines.
Maintaining these murals is essential—not just for the integrity of the NOTO Arts
District, but for preserving the cultural pride and vibrancy of Topeka as a whole.
Investing in their repair ensures these beloved pieces continue to inspire residents
and visitors alike for years to come.
Activation of public spaces through seasonal programming
At its core, NOTO is driven by ambition—a bold vision to be a regional leader in arts, culture, and community. Our goal is to
continually evolve as a vibrant, inclusive district where creativity thrives, small businesses grow, and people from all walks of life
feel welcome. Whether it's launching new events, supporting entrepreneurs, restoring public art, or amplifying youth voices, NOTO
is committed to building a district that reflects the spirit and resilience of Topeka. We’re not just shaping a neighborhood—we’re

ORD/AMD Partners – Permit Fee Waiver 2
Topeka Senior Villas – Fee Waiver Narrative
Address: Approx. SW Arvonia Place & SW 17th Street
Members of the Governing Body,
On behalf of AMD Partners LLC, we respectfully request your support in the form of various fee
waivers (which may include, but are not limited to: impact, utility, and permitting fees) for our
affordable senior housing development, Topeka Senior Villas. This proposed 48-unit community,
to be located near SW Arvonia Place and SW 17th Street, is intended to serve residents aged 55
and older who face growing challenges in accessing safe and affordable housing.
Currently, we are preparing an application to the Kansas Housing Resources Corporation
(KHRC) for a 9% Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) allocation under the 2025 Qualified
Allocation Plan (QAP). As you may know, the 9% LIHTC program is a competitive process
through which projects are awarded funding based on a point scoring system. Scoring categories
include proximity to amenities, depth of affordability, and importantly, support from local
government, among others.
Under the 2025 QAP, fee waivers from local jurisdictions are awarded valuable points:
- 5 points for waivers exceeding $40,000
- 10 points for waivers exceeding $80,000
These points can be decisive, which is why your support is consequential. The fee waiver could
provide the margin needed for an award, bringing federal and state resources to Topeka which
may otherwise go elsewhere.
To our understanding, the most recent 9% LIHTC project funded in Topeka was the 24 unit “New
Beginning Senior Housing” development in 2022, constituting a meaningful step for affordable
housing; however, by itself is insufficient. The City’s 2020 Housing Market Study made the
following clear: the need for affordable, senior-specific housing is widespread and growing. Our
proposed development will help to further address the need.
This request does not involve any direct financial commitment from the City unless and until the
project is funded and the permits, for which fees are waived, are issued. The proposition to the
Governing Body and the City is this: If unsuccessful, the City incurs no cost and remains in the
position it was before. If successful, the return is substantial: a new, affordable senior housing
community, which may not have otherwise occurred.
Ultimately, this is more than simply a waiver of fees, it's a strategic investment. Through support
of this request, the Governing Body and the City can help unlock critical housing resources and
concurrently demonstrate a strong commitment to serving its senior residents.
We are grateful for your leadership on housing and ask for your support in providing the
maximum possible fee waiver to help bring this project to fruition. We welcome the opportunity
to provide any additional information or present further details if desired.
Sincerely,
AMD Partners LLC

ORD/EMS Unlimited Franchise 5/2/2025 4
102 be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Kansas.
103 Section 10. Forfeiture.
104 Any material and substantial fraud, misrepresentation or default of the terms,
105 duties and obligations imposed upon EMS by the laws of the State of Kansas, Chapter

109 hearing before the Governing Body of the City of Topeka on the merits of such allegations.
110 Said public hearing shall be held within 30 days after the notification to EMS and shall be
111 adjudicative in character but shall not bar the rights of any parties to pursue judicial
112 review. Within 10 days following the conclusion of such hearing, the Governing Body of
113 the City of Topeka shall act with respect to such forfeiture and shall submit a written
114 statement to EMS. This franchise ordinance shall not be forfeited unless the Governing
115 Body of the City of Topeka finds that there has been a material and substantial fraud,
116 misrepresentation or default on the part of EMS so as to justify a forfeiture. In such case
117 a notice of forfeiture shall be provided to EMS. In the event this franchise ordinance is
118 forfeited, EMS shall, within 180 days of its receipt of notice of forfeiture, cease operation
119 of an ambulance service hereunder.

121 If, during the term of this franchise ordinance, EMS does not earn a fair rate of
122 return upon the value of property used and useful in providing such ambulance service
123 for a period of six months; and it is determined by EMS that it would not be practical,
124 possible or in the public interest to cure the deficiency by an increase in rates and/or a
125 reduction in service; and EMS has given notice of surrender to the City; then EMS upon
ORD/EMS Unlimited Franchise 5/2/2025 5
126 180 days’ written notice to the City Clerk may elect to surrender this franchise ordinance
127 and cease operation of the ambulance service hereunder. “Fair rate of return” means
128 receipt of revenues for patient charges and public funds, if any, to include the sum of
129 operating costs, depreciation reserves, growth and development costs and management
130 fees.
131 Section 12. Transfer.
132 Only upon written approval of the Governing Body of the City of Topeka may the
133 rights and obligations of EMS pursuant to this franchise ordinance, be transferred to a
134 person meeting the requirements for an ambulance service, as determined by the laws
135 and regulations of the State and the City at the time of the contemplated transfer. Any
136 approved transferee shall, without limitation, assume all the duties and obligations of EMS
137 and EMS shall be released of all future rights, duties, and obligations arising from this
138 franchise ordinance.
139 Section 13. Hold harmless.
140 EMS shall hold the City harmless for all liability, damages, costs and expenses of
141 every kind for the payment of which the City may become liable to any person by reason
142 of the rights and privileges herein granted and, if any action either at law or in equity be
143 brought against the City for damages or for any cost to the City for any fault of EMS, its
144 servants, agents, or employees, in the operation of its ambulance service, EMS shall pay
145 all costs, damages and expenses including costs of defense for which the City may be
146 held liable.
147 Section 14. Severability.
148 If any provision, section, sentence or clause of this franchise ordinance or its
149 application to any person or set of circumstances is for any reason held unconstitutional,
ORD/EMS Unlimited Franchise 5/2/2025 6
150 void, or invalid, the validity of the remaining portions of this franchise ordinance shall not
151 be affected.
152 Section 15. Effective date.
153 This franchise ordinance shall take effect and be in force after its passage,
154 approval and publication in the official City newspaper in the manner prescribed by law,
155 and shall be binding upon EMS upon the conditions set forth herein.

Annual Contract Review
Contracted Scope of Work 2
The main objective of the Program is to provide a variety of
free housing legal services to eligible tenants who live in the
City of Topeka.
The Program is designed to assist participants in stabilizing
their current housing, facilitating access to appropriate
housing, and preventing homelessness based on the City’s
Changing the Culture of Property Maintenance Initiative,
especially when dealing with substandard living conditions.
What Your Support Made Possible 3
• Over 120 tenant households served
• Dozens of evictions dismissed, delayed, or resolved
through negotiated agreements
• Early legal intervention preventing court filings in multiple
cases
• Representation provided for tenants with disabilities, fixed
incomes, and limited access to support
Demographic Snapshot 4
• Majority of clients earned less than $25,000/year
• Tenants ranged from single mothers in their 20s to
residents in their 90s
• Most lived in non-subsidized market-rate rentals, with little
or no access to rental assistance
• A significant number faced health-related hardships,
fixed incomes, or wrongful claims by landlords
Common Challenges Addressed 5
• Retaliatory evictions following maintenance complaints
• Evictions based on misunderstandings of rent-to-own or
manufactured home agreements
• Tenants losing housing due to roommate incarceration,
family health crises, or loss of income
• Improper or no notice provided before eviction filings
Program Services Provided 6
• Legal advice and strategy planning for all clients
• Representation or limited scope services during eviction
hearings
• Assistance filing answers, motions, and grievances when
applicable
• Referrals to social, housing, or disability rights services
Key Program Wins 7
Financial Savings – Thousands Preserved in potential court judgments and legal
fees.
• KLS advised tenants to ensure landlords formally dismissed cases after rent
was paid — not simply accepted payment and reserved their rights, a tactic
in Kansas that allows landlords to pursue eviction anyway.
• Identified and prevented misuse of 3-day notices, where landlords
attempted to evict tenants even after full payment was made.
• In multiple cases, petition amounts ranging from $1,000–$2,500 were
reduced or eliminated entirely because we ensured compliance, exposed
errors, or leveraged the landlord’s failure to reserve rights.
In Kansas, “reserving your rights” allows a landlord to accept payment while still
pursuing eviction if the rent isn’t paid by the deadline in a 3-day notice. Many
tenants don’t know this — and some landlords don’t explain it. KLS does.
Tenant Eviction Defense (TED) Program – Summary
City of Topeka, Kansas| May 2024 – March 2025
Dear City of Topeka,
Your support has made a powerful difference in the City of Topeka. Through the Tenant Eviction
Defense (TED) program, KLS helped tenants stay in their homes, avoid devastating judgments, and find
stability when the threat of eviction loomed largest.
This report focuses on the core outcomes the City of Topeka helped make possible: full legal
representation, case dismissals, extended time in housing, and substantial financial relief.
What Your Support Made Possible:
• Over 120 tenant households served
• Dozens of evictions dismissed, delayed, or resolved through negotiated agreements
• Early legal intervention preventing court filings in multiple cases
• Representation provided for tenants with disabilities, fixed incomes, and limited access to
support
A Case That Speaks Volumes: Delaying Eviction, Defending Dignity
Among the many people helped this year is a couple in their 80s and 90s living in senior housing. They
always paid rent on time. But after submitting a maintenance request when their air conditioning failed,
the landlord filed an eviction.
The only complaint noted against them was a faint odor — one that, as confirmed by both legal
counsel and a medical provider, was directly related to documented medical needs and not a lease
violation. The couple lives with dignity, and the odor posed no issue outside their unit.
Thanks to your support, KLS attorneys intervened. We secured a dismissal of the initial eviction case
and kept the couple housed. Although the landlord has stated plans to refile, our advocacy has
delayed eviction and continues to protect these clients as we work toward a long-term resolution.
This case is a clear reminder: housing is not just about a roof — it’s about respect, rights, and safety for
everyone, especially our elders.
Demographic Snapshot:
• Majority of clients earned less than $25,000/year
• Tenants ranged from single mothers in their 20s to residents in their 90s
• Most lived in non-subsidized market-rate rentals, with little or no access to rental assistance
• A significant number faced health-related hardships, fixed incomes, or wrongful claims by
landlords
Common Challenges We Addressed:
• Retaliatory evictions following maintenance complaints
• Evictions based on misunderstandings of rent-to-own or manufactured home agreements
• Tenants losing housing due to roommate incarceration, family health crises, or loss of income
• Improper or no notice provided before eviction filings
Key Program Wins:
Financial Savings – Thousands Preserved
TED saved tenants thousands of dollars in potential court judgments and legal fees. Here’s how:
• We advised tenants to ensure landlords formally dismissed cases after rent was paid — not
simply accepted payment and reserved their rights, a tactic in Kansas that allows landlords to
pursue eviction anyway.
• We identified and prevented misuse of 3-day notices, where landlords attempted to evict
tenants even after full payment was made.
• In multiple cases, petition amounts ranging from $1,000–$2,500 were reduced or eliminated
entirely because we ensured compliance, exposed errors, or leveraged the landlord’s failure
to reserve rights.
In Kansas, “reserving your rights” allows a landlord to accept payment while still pursuing eviction if the
rent isn’t paid by the deadline in a 3-day notice. Many tenants don’t know this — and some landlords
don’t explain it. We do.
Example Outcomes:
• In case after case, tenants walked out of court without owing a dime, or with significantly
reduced balances, simply because they had access to legal guidance.
• A young tenant making partial payments had their case dismissed after our team ensured the
landlord did not reserve the right to continue with eviction.
• A tenant who owed $1,300 was not ordered to pay the past due balance and received 35
extra days to move.
• In one bench trial, the court awarded our clients over $2,000 in damages after our KLS
attorney proved that the landlord failed to repair critical issues in violation of housing laws. The
court found the property was leased in violation of applicable health and safety codes.
• A tenant paid $4,000 toward the purchase of a pre-owned manufactured home. When an
eviction was filed — KLS attorneys negotiated a refund of the $4,000 down payment. This was a
negotiated resolution, not a court-ordered refund — another example of how legal
intervention protects low-income purchasers in vulnerable housing markets.
Why This Matters:
Without legal support, tenants often pay what they owe, assume the case is over — and still get
evicted. Landlords in Kansas are not required to clarify that they’re reserving their rights when they
accept a late payment.
Due to the TED contract, KLS is able to educate, advise, and intervene in time to protect tenants from
bad faith actions and long-term financial harm.
Program Services Provided:
• Legal advice and strategy planning for all clients
• Representation or limited scope services during eviction hearings
• Assistance filing answers, motions, and grievances when applicable
• Referrals to social, housing, or disability rights services
Looking Forward:
With your continued partnership, we plan to:
• Expand full representation capacity for high-risk and legally complex cases
• Provide education sessions for tenants on court process, leases, and legal options
• Continue tracking and reporting dollar amounts saved and time extensions won
• Advocate for increased rental assistance access and stronger tenant protections across

Electronic Record and Signature Disclosure created on: 11/9/2020 8:00:48 AM
Parties agreed to: Leigha Boling, Matt Keenan, Brenda Younger, Brenda Younger
ELECTRONIC RECORD AND SIGNATURE DISCLOSURE
From time to time, Carahsoft OBO City of Topeka (we, us or Company) may be required by law
to provide to you certain written notices or disclosures. Described below are the terms and
conditions for providing to you such notices and disclosures electronically through the DocuSign
system. Please read the information below carefully and thoroughly, and if you can access this
information electronically to your satisfaction and agree to this Electronic Record and Signature
Disclosure (ERSD), please confirm your agreement by selecting the check-box next to ‘I agree to
use electronic records and signatures’ before clicking ‘CONTINUE’ within the DocuSign
system.
Getting paper copies
At any time, you may request from us a paper copy of any record provided or made available
electronically to you by us. You will have the ability to download and print documents we send
to you through the DocuSign system during and immediately after the signing session and, if you
elect to create a DocuSign account, you may access the documents for a limited period of time
(usually 30 days) after such documents are first sent to you. After such time, if you wish for us to
send you paper copies of any such documents from our office to you, you will be charged a
$0.00 per-page fee. You may request delivery of such paper copies from us by following the
procedure described below.
Withdrawing your consent
If you decide to receive notices and disclosures from us electronically, you may at any time
change your mind and tell us that thereafter you want to receive required notices and disclosures
only in paper format. How you must inform us of your decision to receive future notices and
disclosure in paper format and withdraw your consent to receive notices and disclosures
electronically is described below.
Consequences of changing your mind
If you elect to receive required notices and disclosures only in paper format, it will slow the
speed at which we can complete certain steps in transactions with you and delivering services to
you because we will need first to send the required notices or disclosures to you in paper format,
and then wait until we receive back from you your acknowledgment of your receipt of such
paper notices or disclosures. Further, you will no longer be able to use the DocuSign system to
receive required notices and consents electronically from us or to sign electronically documents
from us.
All notices and disclosures will be sent to you electronically
Unless you tell us otherwise in accordance with the procedures described herein, we will provide
electronically to you through the DocuSign system all required notices, disclosures,
authorizations, acknowledgements, and other documents that are required to be provided or made
available to you during the course of our relationship with you. To reduce the chance of you
inadvertently not receiving any notice or disclosure, we prefer to provide all of the required
notices and disclosures to you by the same method and to the same address that you have given
us. Thus, you can receive all the disclosures and notices electronically or in paper format through
the paper mail delivery system. If you do not agree with this process, please let us know as
described below. Please also see the paragraph immediately above that describes the
consequences of your electing not to receive delivery of the notices and disclosures
electronically from us.

an increase to what is already in the book; just revisions.

The revisions to the CIP budget reflect a commitment to financial accuracy and responsible planning. The
adjustments do not introduce additional burdens on the city’s financial reserves beyond what has already
been accounted for within the long-term financial strategy.
We appreciate your continued engagement and support in overseeing these critical infrastructure
improvements. Should you have any questions regarding these updates, please do not hesitate to reach out
for further clarification.

CIP Funding Source Summary with Examples 8
• Public Works Primary Funding Sources
• Citywide Half-Cent Sales Tax: Topeka Boulevard: 21st – 29th
• Countywide Half-Cent Sales Tax: SW Huntoon Street: Gage to Harrison

Staff Considerations 9
• Financial: Funds are not unlimited,
• GO Bond cap is set at $27,000,000 over 3 years
• Operating funds are subject to budget availability
• Revenue bonds must be backed by ability to generate revenue
• 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

summarized.
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
Departments provide
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 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.

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.

Total Budget $ 7,136,630 Type: Project
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.

Capital Improvement Project Summary
Project Name: SW 10th Ave. - Gerald Ln. to Wanamaker Rd. Department: Public Works
Project Number: 701023.00 Division: Engineering
Primary Funding Source: G.O. Bonds Contact: Mark Schreiner
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.

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.

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.

This project will construct a new interchange on the Kansas Turnpike at SE 29th Street. The 2023 CIB was amended to provide funding for an initial
feasibility study of the exit from I-470 at 29th St. including off ramps and toll interchange. The City and KTA have jointly partnered to do an updated concept
plan including high level cost estimates given the construction cost inflation we have seen over the last 3 years. Additionally the new cashless tolling system
that KTA was implemented in 2024 eliminated the need for toll booths at this interchange. The study has been completed and estimates a total project cost in
2025 of $19,054,772.

Multiple Funds: Yes New Project? No
Council District(s): Multiple 1st CIP Year: Prior to 2014
Total Budget $ 54,088,488 Type: Program
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.

Project Description & Justification:
This annual program focuses on the non-routine replacement or major rehabilitation of levee assets, including 22 miles of earthen levee, 4,122 linear feet of
concrete floodwall, 8 stormwater pump stations, 14 pumped relief wells, 70 gravity relief wells, 58 interior drainage structures, 6 closure structures, and 3
ponding areas. While these assets are regularly maintained, their average age exceeds 50 years, making replacement or rehabilitation necessary. This program
enables staff to proactively address these needs, with funds potentially reserved for several years to support major projects, assessments, studies, designs, or
construction. By doing so, it mitigates the risk of catastrophic failure of critical infrastructure. Given the advanced age of the existing assets, proactive
maintenance is essential. Failing to complete these projects could jeopardize private property and lives.

Total Budget $ 6,075,000 Type: Program
Project Description & Justification:
This annual program focuses on the non-routine replacement or major rehabilitation of stormwater pump stations, including Waite Street, Ward-Martin, City
Park, Kansas Avenue, Madison, East Oakland, Quincy, and Soldier Creek. While these stations are regularly maintained, their ages of 40-50 years necessitate
eventual replacement or rehabilitation. This program enables staff to proactively address these needs, with funds potentially reserved for several years before
initiating a major project. Planned sub-projects during the CIP period include, but are not limited to, the Oakland Stormwater Pump Station. The proactive
rehabilitation and replacement efforts provided by this program help prevent catastrophic failures of critical infrastructure. Neglecting this maintenance could
lead to costly emergency repairs and pose risks to the health and safety of private citizens.

Project Description & Justification:
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.

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.

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.
