City Council Meetings

Page 1 CITY COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS JUNE 2, 2020 MINUTES OF THE MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL Wichita, Kansas, June 2, 2020 Tuesday, 09:00 AM The City Council met in regular session with Brandon Whipple, Cindy Claycomb, Bryan Frye, Becky Tuttle, Jeff Blubaugh, James Clendenin, and Brandon Johnson. Staff Members Present: Bob Layton, City Manager, Jennifer Magana, City Attorney, and Karen Sublett, City Clerk. Mayor Whipple called the meeting to order at 9:00 a.m. Approve the minutes of regular meeting on May 26, 2020 MOTION: Mayor Whipple moved to approve the minutes of regular meeting on May 26, 2020. Motion carried 7 to 0. I) PUBLIC AGENDA 1.) Gerald Baker - Request a three-way stop sign and painted crosswalk at 9th and McLean for safe senior-pedestrian access to river walkways. Gerald Baker stated he would like to see a traffic signal installed at 9th and McLean due to the number of accidents up and down McLean. Stated he would like to work with the City to try and get this done because people cannot cross that street to get to the bike and pedestrian path without taking their lives in their hands. Stated this is an important issue, the public should be able to safely cross 9th and McLean and would be glad to help in any way that he can. 2.) Jane Byrnes - Promote walking and safe walkability within Wichita. Jane Byrnes stated as a health professional her first interest in walking and walk-ability was health. Stated she started with health but then found a very big obstacle, which is safety. Stated there are too few sidewalks and crosswalks, those yellow lines that clearly shows cars, students, neighbors where to safely share our streets. Stated about a third of Wichitans don't drive at all, most students, many seniors and disabled and unemployed who are out of gas money; how can any of those folks get to work, church or get groceries. Stated some people want to bike and walk and others need to bike and walk. Stated the big impediment for both is safety and is here to plead for better budgeting to keep these folks safe. Stated the Bike Pedestrian Advisory Board's recommendation for Wichita's next operating budget is for two full time staff to enable safety and access and opportunity for non-car transportation. Stated a third request is what they call Safe Routes to School, painting crosswalks around schools for safety. Stated Wichita spends a large amount of tax monies on cars and trucks such as Kellogg and the future northwest expressway and urged the Council to rethink that budget and to give low cost protections for bicyclists and pedestrians.  Page 2 CITY COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS JUNE 2, 2020 II) CONSENT AGENDA ITEMS 1 THROUGH 10 MOTION: Mayor Whipple moved to approve consent agenda items 1 through 10 in accordance with the recommended actions shown thereon.

Stated being able to keep them here in Wichita during this time and to actually grow is a blessing and thinks this new policy demonstrates that we are listening to the small business concerns as it relates to our economic development guidelines and this is something that is going to be a great benefit to Advance Catastrophe and hopefully the others will follow suit.  Page 3 CITY COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS JUNE 2, 2020 MOTION: Council Member Frye moved to close the public hearing, adopt the Resolution and authorize the necessary signatures.

Stated he and Council Member Frye did a Zoom with a government class where we had 97 students and this question came up a couple of times asking us about the access. Stated Goddard School district has over 6,000 students and a lot of those students live in the City of Wichita and there have been numerous schools buses run off the road and is glad we are taking the action to correct this.  Page 4 CITY COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS JUNE 2, 2020 MOTION: Council Member Blubaugh moved to approve the budget, amending resolution and change order modification resolution, and authorize the necessary signatures.

(Council Member Blubaugh momentarily left the bench) Council Member Tuttle stated giving money away is harder than getting money and it is truly heartwarming to see other organizations in our community benefit from this and to see that we have money to put aside because no one knows what the next wave will be with 2020 as we go forward. Mayor Whipple stated that extra $75,000 that is going to our domestic violence shelters will be put to great use and is appreciated by the people who run those organizations and thanked staff for seeking these funds.

MOTION: Mayor Whipple moved to approve the agreement and authorize all necessary signatures. Motion carried 7 to 0.  Page 6 CITY COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS JUNE 2, 2020 8.) 20 RIDE NON-EXPIRING PASSES FOR $20. Attachment: Agenda Report No. V-8.docx Mike Tann Director of Transit, reviewed the item. Vice Mayor Claycomb thanked staff. Stated we asked you to look at this and be innovative in ways that we might help the community during this time and really appreciates what staff has done. Council Member Clendenin stated he thinks this is extremely important for a lot of different reasons. Stated on these passes, does it include any transfers? Mike Tann Director of Transit stated we currently do not have transfers, most of our trips are single trips. Stated transfers were eliminated in 2016. Stated this is just for a single ride and is also available for a half ride so that our disabled and seniors will be able to utilize this as a half fare, they would show their ID when purchasing the pass and will be able to buy it for $10. Council Member Whipple thanked Council Members Johnson and Frye for their support on increasing opportunities for affordable public transportation during this time of COVID. MOTION: Mayor Whipple moved to approve Wichita Transit to provide 20 Ride Passes for $20 from June 2 through August 18, 2020. Motion carried 7 to 0. 9.) POLICE PATROL EAST STATION CONSTRUCTION RFP CRITERIA. (DISTRICT I) Attachment: Agenda Report No. V-9.doc Alan King Director of Public Works & Utilities, reviewed the item. Council Member Tuttle stated she is very excited about this, they are in desperate need of a new facility and it is a great opportunity to partner with the Park & Recreation Department. Stated she wants to make sure we get a broad scope and have an opportunity to get many RFPs and asked staff how that will be promoted. Alan King Director of Public Works & Utilities stated we are advertising it but also making sure that we engage the word of mouth of the architectural community. Stated they were involved in an RFP process and to also reach out to structure the RFP in such a way that it attracts as many construction companies as possible. Council Member Frye asked if there is any consideration for local preference in the waiting criteria. Alan King Director of Public Works & Utilities stated only in the way that it would come out in terms of prior projects and references. Stated we are looking at the pricing and the qualifications and using local participants only as a tie breaker if we have two that are just exactly nose to nose, than that could be a factor that would be used in having a preference of one over the other towards the local contractor. Stated because things are so tight, we are really looking at price and qualifications on this project.  Page 7 CITY COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS JUNE 2, 2020 Bob Layton City Manager stated the issue of local preference has been discussed by the Council off and on over the last five years. Stated Council has not adopted local preference policy although we drafted one at one point, so if the Council wants us to have that as a consideration, this would be the time to introduce that factor similar to what we do with DBEs and EBEs so that would a some percentage consideration of the total scoring. Council Member Frye asked if there has been a percentage discussed at any point. Bob Layton City Manager stated we range anywhere from one percent to 10 percent. Council Member Frye asked staff if he is saying there is a procedure in place that there would be a tie breaker if everything was equal? Alan King Director of Public Works & Utilities stated he would not characterize it as an actual formal procedure, it is the practice of the selection committee only in that very rare event that you had a tie breaker, that could be one of the factors considered in coming to the actual selection. Council Member Frye stated on this project maybe not as critical as it would be on a water treatment facility or an airport build, which are so specialized. Stated this is for a police station, which has its own intricacies and uniqueness but with this being a challenged economy right now, and being able to support our local construction as much as possible, would personally like to see some type of consideration for local preference whether it be a one percent or as much as five percent but does not know where the best place for this to come out of would be. Stated he can see maintaining that Emerging DBE and the safety plan and all those but defers to staff where the best place would be to take that out from. Bob Layton City Manager asked staff to go back to the slide that shows the percentages. Stated if you look at these items listed on the Construction RFP Criteria slide; if you are going to arbitrarily assign it five percent, probably would reduce the first category down to 50% and then add the local share. Stated in doing that, would ask you to think about if that is the direction you want to go and agrees a project like this is more inclined that we would select a local contractor just by the nature of the work. Stated if you did introduce that element, would like for you to think about local defined as not just in the region but state of Kansas or possibly from states that have reciprocal agreements as well. Council Member Frye stated he agrees, thinks it is a little difficult to make sausage from the bench on something like this and because this most likely being a local construct, will pass on the opportunity to put in language right now but maybe ask staff to work on a proposal to come back to us for future projects. Stated it may be time to start thinking about something like this, especially on CMAR projects or any large capital improvement projects. Mayor Whipple stated he believes there is an economic benefit by keeping money within our own local economy, there is a multiplier effect that is not sure is being calculated with this current formula. Stated there was in the legislature an act called the Buy Kansas Act, and there were variables and measurements in there to favor Kansas companies or local companies while also having triggers where if it didn't make fiscal sense to utilize a local company if we just couldn't get the same results that wasn't responsible for taxpayers; it allowed us to go outside of what was local. Stated he would ask staff to look at some of the criteria in the Buy Kansas Act that was presented a few years ago and he can help staff track that down because he was the sponsor of it.  Page 8 CITY COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS JUNE 2, 2020 Bob Layton City Manager stated all we really have to do is dust off our previous proposal because at that point we weren't looking at percentage breakdowns like this; we were saying if the proposals or bids from a local company were within a certain percentage of the lowest bid, then we would then go with local. Stated we will bring that back for your consideration and will also look at when we have an RFP criteria like this, how the percentage breakdown should look. Stated we will look at two different alternatives. Mayor Whipple stated to add in for discussion when it comes to creation of policy, on line two where it says, experience with similar projects; we could also write, similar projects and community where we also value someone's understanding of our local economy and community which would fit into that 15%. Stated that might also help us not only with hiring local but also ensuring that we have local people who can help make the design fit. Council Member Johnson stated he agrees with Council Member Frye and looks forward to seeing that type of policy. Stated he wants to encourage for emerging and disadvantage business enterprise participation is five percent, and would like to see it higher than that. Stated he knows that is our minimum but would like to see a little more with that because when you look at minority businesses who historically haven't been engaged in as much and knows we are working on increasing that. Mayor Whipple stated he agrees and if we were to adjust slide #2 to also have some kind of experience with the community, it might actually favor some of the local businesses that are minority owned as well. MOTION: Council Member Johnson moved to approve the RFP selection criteria for construction services of the new Police Patrol East Station. Motion carried 7 to 0. COUNCIL BUSINESS SUBMITTED BY CITY AUTHORITIES PLANNING AGENDA VI) NON-CONSENT PLANNING AGENDA - NONE HOUSING AGENDA VII) NON-CONSENT HOUSING AGENDA - NONE AIRPORT AGENDA VIII) NON-CONSENT AIRPORT AGENDA 1.) CMAR CRITERIA - AVIATION FUEL STORAGE AND DISTRIBUTION FACILITY REHABILITATION PROJECT; EISENHOWER NATIONAL AIRPORT. Attachment: Agenda Report No. VIII-1.docx John Oswald Department of Airports, reviewed the item. Council Member Frye stated as evidence of the last project, this one has greatly different ratios due to the uniqueness of this project versus another capital project.  Page 9 CITY COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS JUNE 2, 2020 John Oswald Department of Airports stated yes. Council Member Frye stated and because of the fuel farm system itself and wants to make sure that people understand what we are building here versus the last project. John Oswald Department of Airports stated it is a major renovation and very critical services that we need to provide for this. MOTION: Mayor Whipple moved to approve the selection criteria, or provide additional modified criteria. Vice Mayor Claycomb stated she would like to go back and think a little bit about local preference on this one too, it is not in the criteria, is it like the last project where there is a tie breaker; how do we handle this one. John Oswald Department of Airports stated he does not know of any City policy that calls there to be a tie breaker. Stated it is not City policy for the preference, sounds like there is something in the works but we did not factor that in this project. Stated we are heavily needing someone very experience and qualified to help us in this project; we have to do it right. Mayor Whipple asked staff if we can take a second look at the criteria in hopes of encouraging local preference as we know that spending money in our local economy has a multiplier effect, if we could get a similar product while stimulating our local economy is preferable. Stated is there something in the works that we can consider that maybe dove tails off our last conversation we had. Bob Layton City Manager stated this is a little more difficult of a project because of the requirement for specialization. Stated we are aware of others who are interested in the project who have not had similar experience and the closest they came was replacing gas tanks for service stations at convenient stores. Stated if the Council wants to factor in local participation, the question is could we put a bullet point in regarding the use of local contractors both as the prime and sub and that could be in terms of the project management approach, which may be the best place to put it so that we are not necessarily giving preference to folks that don't have significant experience with this kind of work but are using subcontractors that make sure we keep dollars in the local economy. Stated we would put it in as part of the project management approach at this point and we can make it a stated criteria bullet point, which would be either the prime contractors local or that there is substantial involvement of local contractors in the sub-contract work. Mayor Whipple stated he thinks we will achieve the goal of having that balance of quality of skilled work while also ensuring that we have as much local circulation of our taxpayer money as possible. Stated he is unsure if we would need a motion for that and if so, we are debating a current motion and thinks he would have to retract his motion to approve as is and ask for the Vice Mayor to retract her second. Bob Layton City Manager stated in the past Council has allowed an amendment to the existing motion as long as the person who second it also agrees to the amendment, then you can vote on the amended motion. Vice Mayor Claycomb stated what the Manager proposed, she would be in favor of that as a second if you added that amendment.  Page 10 CITY COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS JUNE 2, 2020 AMENDED MOTION: Mayor Whipple moved to approve the selection criteria, or provide additional modified criteria with the addition of the advice of the Manager, to add a sixth criteria under project management approach that would recognize participation by local contractors/sub-contractors in the project. Motion carried 7 to 0. 2.) MID-CONTINENT AVIATION SERVICES, INC., USE AND LEASE AGREEMENT, WICHITA DWIGHT D. EISENHOWER NATIONAL AIRPORT. Attachment: Agenda Report No. VIII-2.doc Attachment: MCA’s Use and Lease Agreement.pdf Brad Christopher Assistant Director of Airports, reviewed the item. MOTION: Mayor Whipple moved to approve the agreement and authorize the necessary signatures. Motion carried 7 to 0. COUNCIL AGENDA IX) COUNCIL MEMBER AGENDA - NONE X) COUNCIL MEMBER COMMENTS Vice Mayor Claycomb stated we have not held a DAB meeting in quite some time and last night was our first DAB meeting since the Pandemic and we held it virtually and thinks it went well. Stated we had people from the community as well as our DAB members present and wants to compliment her DAB and the community for being patient with us. Council Member Tuttle stated unfortunately due to circumstances related to COVID-19, our Bike Share ICT program is going to be evolving and changing and the vendor that we have been using for the past three years is going through bankruptcy due to lack of ridership during COVID. Stated she wants to thank everyone for their patience and questions asking her what is next. Stated our really qualified staff are diligently working to see if they can find a new vendor and hopefully we will be back again. 1.) BOARD APPOINTMENTS. Mayor Whipple made the following appointments and re-appointments: Historic Preservation Board - Bruce Rowley; Library Board - Abi Boatman; Wichita Airport Advisory Board - Jonathan McRoy; Sedgwick Co. Community Corrections Advisory Board - Mary San Martine and Sara Alexis Finney- Tolson; and Sedgwick Co. Juvenile Corrections Advisory Board - AJ Bohannon.  Page 11 CITY COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS JUNE 2, 2020 Mayor Whipple stated he would like to create a Mayor's Advisory Council on Diversity, Inclusion and Civil Rights given the discussions and actions not just in our community but throughout our country with diversity inclusion and civil rights. Stated he thinks it is more important than ever to ensure that our community has a direct link to the policy side our government, which is the side that we are on. Stated he created a list of activists and people within our community who have nominated others and pastors and people who have agreed to step up and serve on such a council for a three-month term that will meet once every two weeks via zoom. Stated three months in which he hopes to reappoint some of these members or to give other people a chance to serve. Stated this will follow a similar format as the Mayor's Advisory Council of Small Businesses that we discussed reopening because of COVID. Stated the goal of this is to talk about what we are doing well as a City and what we are not doing so well and how we can improve with the hope of having some action steps that could be presented to the Council or presented as more of a community network solution. Stated sometimes he has a real good group and makes these appointments and it comes to his attention that there are some other people who should be on this as well. Stated it is his intent to make these initial appointments and to possibly make another round of appointments next week if needed. Stated for those who are interested in serving on this council or other councils, the criteria is just to shoot him an email with a couple of lines of what you do and why you want to be on this council; we need all hands on deck when it comes to bringing Wichita to the next level. Stated the following will be appointed to this advisory council: Council Member Johnson (co-chair), Davontae Harris, Pastor Pam Mason, Reverend Kevin Graham, Alicia Sanchez, Karen Cayce, LaWanda DeShazer, Tariq Azimi, Emily Schlenker, Marquetta Atkins, Abi Boatman, Sean Gates, Chad Rico, JJ James, Faith Martin, Ngoc Vaughn, Brandon Trotter, Dalton Glasscock, Reverend Willy Scott Jr., Hussam Madi, and Alan Stocker Jr. MOTION: Mayor Whipple moved to appoint to the standing committees the members mentioned and also the creation of the Mayor's Advisory Committee on Diversity Inclusion and Civil Rights with the names mentioned and appointed to such committee. Vice Mayor Claycomb stated she is surprised and a little frustrated because she has nothing in her packet about this new committee or council. Stated the communities had no time to react to these appointments and asked legal staff if the Mayor wants to appoint a council, do we have to vote on that? Jennifer Magana City Attorney stated the Mayor could independently appoint an advisory council, there is really no ordinance or resolution that addresses that and believes it can be done. Stated traditionally our boards are created by ordinance but in this case there is some flexibility on how that is accomplished. Vice Mayor Claycomb stated she doesn't think we are being asked for any input, we are just being expected to vote and is a little uncomfortable with that with no explanation on this where she or the public could study this. Stated inclusion, diversity and civil rights are important but the last council that we approved, she was misled on what that was going to be and voted yes and feels uncomfortable with no true explanation in writing. Council Member Tuttle stated it would be helpful if we could have some discussions about this before it comes to the bench so that we can ask questions at the bench. Stated the only way she knew about this is she saw it in the media which is not usually the preferred way of how we hear about things and how we can make the best decisions. Stated it would be great if we could hear about it and have some discussion and question time. Stated she was going to ask what the purpose and goal is and heard you say to see what we are doing well but at the end of the day, if this Council does its job, what does that mean and how is it being evaluated. Stated you mentioned the appointments would be for a three-month term and  Page 12 CITY COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS JUNE 2, 2020 they you will reappoint but will there be representation from all the districts? Stated that is something that is very important to her to make sure we are really encapsulating what our entire community is like. Stated she heard a few of the names but is not familiar with them all and when she thinks of inclusion she thinks of not only color and race but also the blind, the visually impaired, the elderly, Latino's, Asians, mental health, LGBT, and the physically disabled, etc. Stated if we are truly thinking about inclusion all of these groups need to be represented. Stated the worst thing that you can do is to ask people for their opinion or guidance and then not use it. Stated there is nothing worse than starting a committee to only listen and not have any action tied to it and what if the committee makes recommendations that we cannot fulfill, which could be discouraging to the committee members and cause some potential issues. Stated she spoke to the Police Chief about this, this morning because she has some concerns. Stated her heart is aching for what is going on in our City and across the nation and wants to be extremely cautious so that we don't do anything that could exacerbate that. Stated she completely recognizes that there is hurt in our City and hurt in our nation that we absolutely need to address and applauds the Mayor for being thoughtful and considerate and wanting to address it but also thinks that doing something quickly may not be the best way and we have to make sure that we do this right and thoughtfully. Stated it is going to be a struggle for her to have this presented to her right now and be expected to vote on it and would appreciate more time and more opportunity to ask questions and to have them answered. Stated it the future it would be very much appreciated if we could hear about these in advance and not just from the bench as we have heard today. Mayor Whipple stated you don't have to vote for a Council on Diversity Inclusion and Civil Rights if you think that we don't need more discussion on diversity inclusion and civil rights. Stated if you are someone who wishes that he communicated better, then he is sorry that he might have let you down. Stated he will point out that in one week he will have been Mayor for six months, and there are three people on this Council who have never once stepped in his office and had a conversation with him. Stated his office is right next to the bathroom, which means we have people who walk past his office three to four times a day we are here and not once has one of these people, two of them who have spoken today, came in and asked "hey Mayor what is going on?" Stated he would have been happy to talk about this but is also busy going to rallies and being in touch with our community and feeling the pain that they feel that has led to this national discussion on inclusion, diversity and civil rights. Stated he would have been happy to talk to you at one of those rallies if you were there or if you were here yesterday when he was here. Stated he would have been happy to talk to you if any one of the times when we were here together if you stepped in his office and asked what's going on. Stated if you don't want to vote for this, then vote no, he is not forcing anyone to vote on this but thinks it is important that we create something official that will give people a voice and if you think there is someone who should be added to this list; come and talk to him or send him an email or a text to let him know what he can do to include you but has to move forward because our community depends on it. Council Member Blubaugh stated this may have not came to us exactly the way we wanted it to but is all for anything we can do to communicate in a non-violent way. Stated he doesn't want to see our police officers, citizens or anyone in this city have to face any violence of any kind. Stated he would much rather us try and share our discussions and move forward in a more diplomatic way. Stated even though it may not have come to us exactly the way it did, he is all for it; anything we can do in a non-violent manner. Mayor Whipple called the question and asked the clerk to open the roll and members will cast their vote. Council Member Tuttle stated there are others who wish to speak.  Page 13 CITY COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS JUNE 2, 2020 Mayor Whipple stated call to question is not a debatable motion, every member on the list has had a chance to speak, and thinks it is better for us to move forward. Motion carried 7 to 0. ADJOURNMENT MOTION: Mayor Whipple moved to adjourn the meeting. Motion carried 7 to 0.
