MINUTES OF THE MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL
Wichita, Kansas, September 15, 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.
Invocation was given by Pastor Fred Hayes of New Life Church, followed by the Pledge of Allegiance.
Approve the minutes of regular meeting on September 8, 2020.
Council Member Blubaugh stated we had a lot of confusion at the end of last week's meeting and I'm still
trying to understand exactly what was done. Stated reading through the minutes it says that it was a actual
redo of the vote and coming from Topeka, the Mayor used the term bill on amendment a lot and bill is not
appropriate in or language and asked legal staff if that is correct.
Jennifer Magana City Attorney stated that is correct at the City level it is an ordinance.
Council Member Blubaugh asked legal staff for clarification on the substitute motion versus amended
motion so that we don't get into this again.
Jennifer Magana City Attorney stated what we have adopted are limited rules of Roberts Rule of
Parliamentary procedure in our ordinance that limits substitute motions to be made directly after an
original motion. Stated that is the best time to make a substitute motion. Stated amended motions can be
made at any time. Stated there is a subtle difference, an amended motion can serve as a substitute motion.
Council Member Blubaugh stated that is what he is trying to understand and asked for the definition of
both so that we know what the clear line is, or is there not a clear line?
Jennifer Magana City Attorney stated our ordinances really don't have a definition that says when they
can be used. Stated a substitute is best to use to change immediately from the original motion to substitute
for that, an amended motion can be to clarify, modify or change the meaning of the underlying motion.
Stated there is really not a clear definition.
Council Member Blubaugh stated he thought last week the discussion was that when it's a substitute
motion, the amended motion can't substantially change, it's just an alteration.

CITY COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS
SEPTEMBER 15, 2020
Jennifer Magana City Attorney stated that is generally the practice and is the way we have looked at
things but under the rules that we adopted it can substantially change so there is not really that much limit
on what an amendment can do.
Mayor Whipple stated the general practice is if you have a motion and the motion can take you this far,
which means like a motion to amend the document; a substitute to that motion can also only go that far.
Stated the interpretation that the Chair had later after discussing with the parliamentary who agreed was
that the vote was just to amend the content of the ordinance but it wasn't to amend the content of the
ordinance and to push the ordinance out, therefore the first vote we took amended the language that's
inside the order and not the ordinance, which means we then needed to vote to pass out the final language.
Stated that is why last week we had one vote that changed the language and then upon reflection realizing
that my original motion only took it to amend and a substitute motion should only take it to amend, we
still needed a vote to pass it forward. Stated to go back to that which we ended up doing, saves us
potential legal problems if it was challenged in court that you never actually passed the bill; you are
enforcing an ordinance that wasn't actually passed.
Council Member Blubaugh stated there are a few things from last week's meeting that he wants to make
sure that we don't get into again, 1) I want to make sure that we all clearly understand what we are voting
on; and 2) I want to make sure that once a vote is done that we are seeing how the votes come out and
then changing our vote one way or another.
Mayor Whipple stated any member can change their vote for any reason that is their prerogative for
members to do that. Stated there was no changing of votes last week, it was two separate votes.
Council Member Blubaugh asked legal staff for clarification; can we change our votes any time?
Jennifer Magana City Attorney stated you can't make a motion to reconsider, this was a slightly different
vote and thinks it was within our ordinance. Stated in order to reconsider a motion, then you would have
to have a special motion to reconsider and then you could do a different vote, which is not what
happened; there is that option for changing.
Mayor Whipple stated last week was a trial of endurance so maybe there was a little tougher towards the
end for everything to be explained clearly. Stated last week there were two separate votes taken, one was
to change the language which allowed Council Member Tuttle's amendment to become part of the
ordinance, that motion alone did not actually pass the ordinance so people can vote how they want on the
amendment and then the next vote that we went back to vote to pass the ordinance out to make it actual
law and needed to be a separate vote. Stated it wasn't an independent motion, it was an amendment to a
motion that was already there, the original motion that was amended only went out to changing the
language.
Council Member Blubaugh asked legal staff if that is correct, the ordinance wouldn't have taken place
with the first vote.
Jennifer Magana City Attorney stated we don't have a precedent and we don't have clarity or guidance on
an amendment of an amendment and thinks it is an appropriate procedural matter to take a vote to amend
the ordinance.
Mayor Whipple stated it probably should have been a substitute amendment, we are going to clean this up
as we go but will always error on the side of taking a vote.

MOTION:
Mayor Whipple moved to approve the minutes of regular meeting on September 8, 2020.
Motion carried 7 to 0.
Mayor Whipple read aloud the following Proclamations:
Indigenous People's Day
Constitution Week
I) PUBLIC AGENDA
1.) Lisa Finch - Wichita Police Department. (Cancelled September 14, 2020)
2.) Bonnie Biddle - Andrew Finch
Bonnie Biddle stated she is here today to ask you to take time to remember Andrew Finch. Stated on the
evening of Thursday, December 28, 2017, Andrew was shot on the front porch of his own home as a
direct result of a Swatting call without the presence of SWAT. Stated as a friend of the family, she has
concerns that she would like answers to. Stated the City of Wichita has kept important information away
from the public on this homicide by Officer Justin Rapp. Stated by not having qualified personnel at the
scene, is that what caused the events to play out in the horrible way it did; no contact officer, is this the
reason for multiple, confusing and conflicting commands on all sides? Stated Andrew Finch committed
no crime and was killed by Wichita police officer Justin Rapp within seven seconds of opening his door
and stepping just past the threshold at his own residence and unarmed to see what the commotion was that
he heard. Stated Officer Rapp knew there were other officers surrounding and giving Andrew commands
and testified at the time of the shooting that he could clearly see Mr. Finch's hands. Stated he never saw a
weapon or anything that appeared to be a weapon. Stated Rapp admitted it was possible when he fired his
weapon that Andrew was merely turning to go back into his residence because he was frightened because
of the police response. Stated in November 2019, Officer Rapp stated he thought Mr. Finch was the
suspect described; how could there have been a description if it is not located in Marc Bennett's report?
Stated why was Officer Rapp able to assume his duty, why does he continue to use a deadly weapon when
it was noted that between 2014 and 2017 he was referred to EIS every year, six incidences in six months.
Stated in the way our country and gone and all of the police brutality, I ask how the City of Wichita and
the Wichita Police Department to stand behind the criminal activity that surrounds this case; how can we
each stand behind this and know it is wrong and asked who all was an accessory to this.
II) CONSENT AGENDA ITEMS 1 THROUGH 11
MOTION:
Mayor Whipple moved to approve consent agenda items 1 through 11 in accordance with the
recommended actions shown thereon.
Motion carried 7 to 0.

2.) WAA Report of Board of Bids and Contracts dated September 14, 2020.
Attachment: 09-14-2020 Board of Bids WAA.pdf
MOTION:
Mayor Whipple moved to receive and file report, approve the contracts and authorize the necessary
signatures.
Motion carried 7 to 0.
IV) UNFINISHED COUNCIL BUSINESS - NONE
V) NEW COUNCIL BUSINESS
1.) CHARTER ORDINANCE RELATING TO MUNICIPAL COURT PROCEDURES.
Attachment: Agenda Report V-1.docx
Attachment: Charter Ordinance No. 237
Sharon Dickgrafe Law Department, presented the item.
Council Member Johnson stated in authorizing more staff to deliver the Uniform Criminal complaints,
was that based off of the District III pilot to give more people the ability to serve those because that was a
benefit in District III.
Bob Layton City Manager stated we are following the example that was created in MABCD, when we
went through the pilot project, we believe that the private service was effective.
Council Member Blubaugh stated it sounds like this is going to make it a little bit easier for folks to do for
expungements on some of these lower misdemeanors.
Sharon Dickgrafe Law Department stated the processes have not changed, it will incorporate other types
of offenses such as the deferred judgments that have been expunge-able, the ordinance just didn't provide
for that so it clarifies that deferred judgments would be expunged in the same manner as diversions and
would allow for expungements of certain kinds of convictions after the period of time has passed since
the person has complied with the terms of the sentence. Stated it clarifies the process as well as the types
of convictions that can be expunged in the applicable time limits that the individual has to wait to get this
off their record.
Council Member Blubaugh asked if this is any more user friendly for the public or is it just more internal.
Sharon Dickgrafe Law Department stated it is probably more internal, we have an online packet of
information for individuals who want to expunge convictions. Stated those packets will be updated once
this is passed. Stated one clarification that the ordinance does make is convictions from Municipal Court
that are appealed to District Court, the process on how to get that expunged from both courts is clarified
by the changes.

Mark Manning Department of Finance, presented the item.
Council Member Frye asked if this refunding savings we have realized this year on this budget cycle and
was it planned for as it relates to our adjusted budget going through the rest of the year.
Mark Manning Finance Department stated we do not incorporate any savings from refinancing in our
projections. Stated the amount I am telling you is the net present value of the savings over the maturity
schedule, we will save about $300,000 over the seven year period.
Council Member Frye stated so that will be adjusted in future budgets.
Mark Manning Finance Department stated yes.
Council Member Clendenin asked if that line can be put together, the before and after to show to show
what our debt service that changed and what debt service is going to be because of the savings we
realized.
Mark Manning Finance Department stated we could do that.
Page 6
CITY COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS
SEPTEMBER 15, 2020
Council Member Clendenin stated it would be really good to see how this affects our debt service long-
term.
Bob Layton City Manager stated we could show the accumulative impact of our refunding during that
period of time by category of debt.
Council Member Clendenin stated overall our sales today, refunding and the actual bond sales, we have
saved based on what we projected, $2.1 million dollars.
Bob Layton City Manager stated right but when you consider outstanding debt, it still won't show a lot if
you just do it graphically unless you play around with the scale but it is probably more meaningful to
show what the impact has been over the last several years.
Mayor Whipple stated his understanding is that these are the lowest rates since 2014.
Mark Manning Finance Department stated yes at least 2014.
(No public comment)
MOTION:
Mayor Whipple moved to 1) ratify the award of the bids by the City Manager for each series of bonds and
notes; 2) adopt the Bond Ordinances on a Declaration of Emergency basis; 3) adopt the Bond and Note
Resolutions; and 4) authorize the necessary signatures.
Motion carried 7 to 0.
Council Member Johnson stated the motion the Mayor made for new business item 1 was to receive and
file the report, approve the contracts and authorize the necessary signatures, which would have been for
the Board of Bids and not the recommendation of place the ordinance on first reading and authorize all
necessary signatures.
Mayor Whipple stated you are correct, I made the motion for the previous recommended action and go
back to new business item 1 and reopen it and will make the correct motion.
CORRECTED MOTION FOR ITEM V-1.
MOTION:
Mayor Whipple moved to place the ordinance on first reading and authorize all necessary signatures.
Motion carried 7 to 0.
3.) LINWOOD BRANCH LIBRARY RELOCATION. (DISTRICT III)
Attachment: Agenda Report V-3.doc
Attachment: Resolution No. 20-281
Cynthia Berner Director of Libraries presented the item.
(Mayor Whipple momentarily left the bench; Vice Mayor Claycomb in the chair)

CITY COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS
SEPTEMBER 15, 2020
(Council Member Blubaugh momentarily left the bench)
Council Member Frye stated on the Adopted capital improvement program you said that about a half a
million remains available, do we have an identity for that for what we would use the remainder for. Stated
would it be tied to this project or other library master plan.
Cynthia Berner Director of Libraries stated we had previously allocated through tenures of the lease half a
million and we are asking you to initiate the second half for this project.
Bob Layton City Manager stated he wants to recognize that after 35 years of service to our system, Cindy
has just made her last presentation to the Council and she told me she wouldn't retire until she could get a
library in District 3 and has accomplished that now. Stated she has been an exceptional professional and
someone who has been fantastic to work with and has done so much to move the library system forward
and today's system is a reflection of her and her efforts and we owe her a great deal of thanks for her
work.
Council Member Johnson stated he is supportive of this since Linwood would be leaving District 1 and
going to District 3 and is excited for that surrounding community to have an opportunity of a library.
Stated we have tried to meet with a senior center to show what would be left in that presence but thinks
the time we were supposed to meet was our marathon Council Meeting but still wants to have that
presentation for them to show but is definitely supportive of this effort.
Council Member Clendenin thanked Cindy for all her service to this community and knows it's been a
little tumultuous trying to get something done in District 3 with all the players involved and has been nine
years in the making. Stated he also wants to recognize Max Cole who I think without his contribution and
the extremely favorable lease rate and him putting his money into renovating the project; this would not
have happened and thanked his fellow Council Members for their support. Stated we are not abandoning
the seniors at Linwood, we will make sure they are well taken care of and Cindy has made a commitment
that will happen and will have that meeting.
(No public comment)
MOTION:
Council Member Clendenin moved to approve the project, adopt the bonding resolution, designate the
Library Board of Directors to serve as the Naming Advisory Committee for the relocated facility, and
authorize the necessary signatures.
Motion carried 7 to 0.
4.) POLICE RADIO REPLACEMENTS.
Attachment: Agenda Report V-4.doc
Attachment: Resolution No. 20-282
Officer Dan East WPD presented the item.
Council Member Frye asked if all officers receive radios including reserve officers.
Officer East stated yes.
Page 8
CITY COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS
SEPTEMBER 15, 2020
Council Member Frye stated they are all getting this equipment, we are replacing some that are out of
date; did we put this out for bid or is it just a single source provider that we just keep reordering from.
Officer East stated the radios are single source.
Council Member Frye stated so there is no opportunity to work the bid and to hopefully get a better deal.
Stated he is concerned because it is sole sourcing, is it just because that is the manufacturer that is the
only provider.
Officer East stated yes and we are trying to keep consistent with the radios that we have purchased in
2017, 2018 and 2019. Stated it is a compatibility and is also a similar use with the radios.
Hannah Lang Finance Department stated we piggyback off of the state of Kansas contracts so they
actually go out for bid for these portable radios, it was a procurement bid that was done through the state.
Council Member Johnson stated I know why these radios are necessary but for anybody watching asked
staff to explain in more detail the importance and significance because everyone is always watching the
Police budget.
Officer East stated radios are our lifeline with the 911 communications is how we get dispatched to calls.
Stated if we don't have technology or radios that work, we can miss out on critical pieces of information.
Stated it is dispatch's way to communicate with us and our way to communicate with dispatch and our
way to communicate with other officers.
Council Member Frye stated to be clear with his line of questioning and asking if all reserve officers get
them; understands the need for this lifeline and piece of equipment but also thinks there is another piece
of equipment that all reserve officers and officers should have and that is the body cameras. Stated I know
we have been funding this over the years, we just recently added SWAT and detectives would like to have
body cameras but we have reserve officers that don't have body cameras. Stated as much as we are putting
the importance on the radios, thinks we also need to start making sure that we start including body
cameras for all officers.
Council Member Blubaugh asked how many reserve officers we have and how often we use them.
Officer East stated I don't have the exact number of reserve officers but knows we have been working to
improve those numbers and have also been looking at body worn cameras. Stated we use reserve officers
like an auxiliary where they can help with different community projects and different events throughout
the City; there is a multitude of things they can help us with.
Council Member Frye stated this is not a surprise to Chief Ramsay, he and I have had this discussion and
according to him we have anywhere from 11 to 14, they are not all on shift at the same time and doesn't
know if we need 11 or 14 immediately but at least start having a stock for when they are on shift they can
use them. Stated we have demonstrated the importance of having the body cameras and it is not a lot of
money and thinks we need to figure out a plan to make sure we are protecting all of our officers as much
as possible.

5.) 2021 GROUP HEALTH, VISION AND DENTAL INSURANCE PREMIUMS.
Attachment: Agenda Report V-5.docx
Verl Niedens Finance Department, presented the item.
Council Member Tuttle stated during agenda review on Friday I saw that there could be a potential
conflict of interest but the City Manager pointed out and after reviewing the packet more thoroughly, I
understand that there is no conflict of interest for me and I will be voting on this.
(No public comment)
MOTION:
Mayor Whipple moved to accept the recommendations of the City’s benefit consultant, staff and HIAC
and (1) approve the 2021 group health premiums for the Premium PPO, Select PPO and Vision Plans; (2)
approve the 2021 premiums for the Traditional and Preferred dental plans; (3) approve continuation of the
current wellness program with incentive rewards to remain flat at 2020 levels.

6.) CDBG AND CSBG FUNDING ALLOCATIONS; EXPANDED INTERNET SERVICE FOR
HCSD CLIENTS WITH SCHOOL AGE CHILDREN.
Attachment: Agenda Report V-6.docx
Sally Stang Director of Housing and Community Services, presented the item.
Council Member Blubaugh asked what the average bill would be per household.
Sally Stang Director of Housing and Community Services stated it is $9.95 a month with no additional
fees for equipment.
Council Member Blubaugh stated he understands that you have to be a citizen of Wichita and be within
our public housing but do they have to go to Wichita schools?
Sally Stang Director of Housing and Community Services stated no they qualify by participating in the
Federal Housing Assistance Program, they could also qualify for lower-income lunch programs, and there
are other students outside that live within our programs and can apply to Cox for the Connect to Compete
Program and only pay $9.95 a month.
Council Member Blubaugh asked if we would be using CDBG funds for that because I thought that all
the lunches were paid for through the end of the year.
Sally Stang Director of Housing and Community Services stated no that is just what would qualify them
for the low-income rates through Cox. Stated right now we are just looking to subsidize even the $9.95
per month for those families that are living in subsidized housing.
Page 10
CITY COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS
SEPTEMBER 15, 2020
Vice Mayor Claycomb stated I think this is a fabulous program. Stated I know we have connections with
these families but how are we going to make sure that they all are very aware of this opportunity.
Sally Stang Director of Housing and Community Services stated we will be rallying the troops this
afternoon to get the message out to all of our families that would qualify once we can verify their
addresses of which households we will be subsidizing, Cox will provide a portal for people to apply
directly so that we can get this launched as fast as we can. Stated we are also working with IT. Stated one
of our concerns is that the Federal Privacy Act requires that we have the family's permission before we
release their name and address to Cox so that is going to be our first step.
Public comment:
1) Terrell Davis Executive Director of Public Affairs and Special Projects for the Wichita Public Schools
stated we are so thankful to be in partnership with you on this effort, if passed we believe it is a game
changer for our students and families and allows us to decrease the homeward divide that exists with our
kids and with our families and gives them better access to quality education. Stated we will provide those
families that are doing remote learning with a computer or iPad and by providing internet from the City,
we believe this is going to make a better situation for our families and thank you for working with us on
this effort.
MOTION:
Mayor Whipple moved to approve the CDBG-CARES and CSBG-CARES funding allocations and
authorize the necessary signatures.
Motion carried 7 to 0.
