OCTOBER 27, 2020
1.) Discussion of Revisions to the City’s Drinking Establishment, Drinking Establishment-Restaurant,
Entertainment Establishment, After Hours Establishment, and Cereal Malt Beverage Licensing
Ordinances.
Attachment: Amendments DE-EE-OH Revocation Delineated Ordinance.docx
Mayor Whipple stated this is for discussion only. Stated that since we no longer have a mask ordinance
we are partners with the County when it comes to following public orders. Stated this is to start a
discussion how we could be better partners with the County as Coronavirus numbers are rising and as we
expect them to rise even more with people going inside, flu season, and with it getting colder. Stated for
those of you who were on the hospital call or follow the numbers we have more hospitalizations right
now in Wichita than ever before at about 90 hospitalizations. Stated we know that the Board of Health
orders the recommendations, but as the largest City what is our role is ensuring that we can help when it
comes to keeping our community safe. Stated before we discuss the ordinance, and this may be his
legislative background, you put an ordinance or an idea on the table and then it is an open discussion of
the concept. Stated it means we do not have to actually follow this ordinance or what is written we can
talk about getting to our goals and direct staff into possibly drafting something to be looked at at a later
date. Stated he ran this ordinance past his small business council and this concept. Stated the response he
received he is in agreement with where this ordinance change might not be the way to go. Stated the small
business council was more interested in three strike approach that focuses on education, encouragement,
and as a last resort, enforcement. Stated this approach was more of a, if there was a direct violation of a
health order regardless of what the health order was then one of our firefighters or police officers could
reach out and educate the organization or the business of what the new order was and if that was not
enough to change it then a letter could be sent. Stated by the time the letter sends that is the moment for
due process where the organization or the business can say we are complying with the public health
orders. Stated in a third continuous violation of a public health order, and this is just a concept idea,
would be to report it to Dr. Minns and to see if Dr. Minns recommends that the place would close for 24
hours and then open back up. Stated it is a method that Topeka uses and he first heard this after discussion
with the Mayor of Topeka and how they partner with their county. Stated he wants to open up to
discussion on this and not have the discussion over email. Stated this is important that we share ideas and
create that environment where we can discuss potential legislative steps moving forward.
Council Member Blubaugh stated he was not on the hospital call but was under the understanding that a
lot of our hospitalizations were going up because people were coming in from Oklahoma, from Missouri,
from other areas. Stated we keep saying follow the science, but does not believe there has been an
outbreak at the bars. Stated he wants to see what kind of data we have that says people going out to bars is
causing this. Stated he thought we were getting out of the health ordinances since we do not have a health
department. Stated he thought we were throwing that back to the County and trying to work with them
rather than coming up with separate rules ourselves. Stated that is his initial thoughts.
Mayor Whipple stated he does not know how to make this more clear. Stated the current ordinance
pertains to bars. Stated he has that on the table to start a global discussion as to how we can be a better
partner with the County and ensuring that public health policy is followed. Stated during his small
business council meeting they also do not want to target an industry that has already been targeted. Stated
if we have it more global where it is organizations and businesses that after two strikes of being told,
educated, and encouraged and they still want to participate in dangerous behavior that violates a lawful
order, what does that look like, what is the plan. Stated what we do not want is if numbers skyrocket to
25% and we have orders coming down from the County and they do not have the resources to educate and
encourage following those orders, can we step in knowing that Wichitans who would be affected by a
Page 3

OCTOBER 27, 2020
larger outbreak. Stated that is the purpose of this. Stated he does think we have a responsibility to have
this conversation and we should have this conversation now before things get worse. Stated we do not
want things to the point where we have what other cities have gone through and then we are scrambling in
an emergency meeting trying to figure out how best to tackle these problems. Stated just to recap the
policy moving forward he is not recommending that we target bars and restaurants. Stated adding public
health orders to the sections in bars and restaurants that refer to upholding public health is in the spirit of
having a liquor license and that is why that change was proposed originally. Stated it seemed like the least
abrasive way to encourage people to follow public health orders regardless of the Coronavirus or what.
Stated after referring to my small business council and seeing that there was a desire to have a three strike
approach and to not target one industry.
Council Member Tuttle stated that she reached out to two of the County Commissioners, due to recent
public events she was not able to consult with all of them. Stated the two that she spoke with did not feel
that this was warranted at this time. Stated that they indicated that they serve as the Board of Health and
that they have the content expertise and the staff to be able to utilize that we do not. Stated the feedback
that the two of the five gave did not feel this was necessary and they did not fully understand it. Stated
that on October 22nd the Wichita Eagle had an article where they stated that KDHE was reporting on
where clusters were coming from across the state and categorized them not by community or city, but by
case. Stated that restaurant and bars were not listed as a cluster across the state. Stated she is a little
concerned that this is targeting one segment of our economy that we have not seen clustering coming
from so far.
Mayor Whipple inquired if there is anyone that is confused when he says we need a more global policy
that is not going to target one sector. Stated that although what is on here was originally discussing bars
and restaurants we want to have a more global conversation right now about other organizations or
businesses more globally that might not know that these orders are changing. Stated he disagrees with the
idea that we have no role to play when it comes to public safety. Stated he does not know how he can be
more clear about this where we should be talking about a global way to educate and encourage public
health orders coming down from the County because their footprint in our city is not resolved as ours and
should we actually play a role ensuring that people know if they are in violation of the public health order.
Stated we are not trying to step on their toes when it comes to the content or making those orders, but if
they make those orders should we be able to help educate and encourage following those orders. Stated
that is the question and if so what does that look like.
Vice Mayor Claycomb stated just to be clear on what the Mayor is saying, he is suggesting that we not
look at this proposed change to this ordinance, rather look at a more global, is that what you are
proposing.
Mayor Whipple stated yes, he wants this discussion to be more global and this proposed change, the
change in the ordinance for those who have not had a chance to read it is adding public health orders
pretty much under the sections of liquor and bar license that pertain to public health in general. Stated
after conferring with the public and with his small business council it was agreed upon that we should
have discussion about a more global approach and they suggested a three strike that focuses on education
and encouragement. Stated that at the very end if someone is in open defiance of the public health order
regardless of what those orders are then there be a mechanism to report that to the County.
Vice Mayor Claycomb stated she did watch the small business advisory council meeting. Stated she does
not know that she actually heard that they came up with the three strikes but what she thinks she heard
from them, again not specifically, that before we do anything is that she would want to take this out to the
Page 4
CITY COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS
OCTOBER 27, 2020
larger community. Stated for example when this was targeted at restaurant and bar owners that there is an
Old Town restaurant group that she thinks should weigh in on this, the Kansas Hospitality Association,
those businesses at the Chamber and WIBA. Stated that now that the Mayor would like to go more global
she would really need input because she does not think that we know what the unintended consequences
of something like this would be and she cannot think of all of those. Stated that she thinks the people that
are in those businesses could. Stated one of the things she really heard from the Mayor's group is why are
we punishing businesses, why would we shut down businesses for the behavior of a customer. Stated she
does not know the answer to that but at least in her interpretation was a really strong challenge that they
made on that. Stated she knows that this has been explained but not in enough detail for her clarity, could
we get clarity from the County on their process if a business openly defies the health order. Stated she
knows it is a civil offense and understands all of that, but does not understand exactly what that looks
like, what the consequences of that are for the business and how that would be enforced. Stated if they
have the ability to do that and we are saying it’s too hard, she does not know that it would be easy to shut
down a business.
Mayor Whipple stated ok good now we are talking about actual policy. Stated the goal is to figure out
who should be at the table and what we could do to have a role to play if we need to have a role to play.
Stated to Vice Mayor's observation of the small business council, yes, towards the end this is not to
punish a business because someone is not wearing a mask, this is to discourage something like we saw in
the beginning of the Coronavirus when we had an indoor auction. Stated they advertised they wanted to
have a big event and cram 500 people into this one space and when our officers went out to educate and
say hey this is in direct violation of our public health order the action people said they did not care and its
not enforceable. Stated in that situation what are our options. Stated if we put no plan in place and end up
in a situation, an extreme situation when something like that happens what are our options and that is
something we have to talk about. Stated that is what he is trying to do and what he does not want is, and
he sees why people from each side bring it this way, is this is a tough conversation to have and does not
want it to be a you are doing too much or you are not doing enough discussion where people are scoring
political points. Stated he is opening this up to see do we have a responsibility to our medical community,
do we have a responsibility to Wichitans if numbers get worse and more orders come down, not
necessarily about masks, but about anything and our officers and our firefighters are out there and stuff is
being reported to them that they have a mechanism to educate and encourage folks to follow these health
orders. Stated that if after doing that people are in open defiance, just like some people were early on,
should we have a way to have a mechanism of enforcement of public health orders.
Vice Mayor Claycomb stated that again that goes back to her question of the County about getting
clarification on their process. Stated it sounds like the Mayor wants to establish a process but she is not
sure that there is not already a process in place.
Mayor Whipple stated that maybe the staff or County Manager could tell us what their process is and if
they even realistically have the resources to enforce in Wichita with us sitting on the sidelines. Inquired of
the City Manager if the County has any process in place that they could be educated on if organized
defiance of public health order come to the City and what is the process in which that could be addressed.
Robert Layton, City Manager, stated he will work with the County Manager to outline what their
enforcement process is for current and future orders.
Mayor Whipple inquired if we are aware of any enforcement that the County has been able to, not even
enforcement, let’s say educate and encourage if they have sent out letters or had any type of reaction to
any businesses that are knowingly putting the public in danger by violating their health orders.
Page 5

OCTOBER 27, 2020
Robert Layton, City Manager, stated he cannot speak to that, but will get information from the County
Manager.
Mayor Whipple inquired if anybody knows, with the County having the resources to address any openly
defiant organizations or businesses, or is it reasonable to believe that our officers have been out there
trying to educate and encourage order following the lawful orders of the Board of Health.
Council Member Johnson stated he likes the conversation about due process and trying to figure that out.
Stated he actually likes this ordinance even though this is not the thing that we would be considering
anymore has a due process for due process outlined in it. Stated he is glad this is more global and we are
not targeting one specific industry. Stated we need to figure out how we will define that. Stated we look at
business registration. Stated that he and his wife have a business that does not require a City license, if
there are businesses that do not have a City license what does that look like. Stated we look at how far
that will go, are we talking about everything from a small office to a grocery store or are there sectors that
are more risky for exposure, we might try to figure that piece out. Stated he does not know personally
how they would do that especially with the business license piece. Stated that is something we need to
consider as well after we hear what the County's procedures are.
Mayor Whipple stated what Council Member Johnson just reminded him of was a conversation with his
small business council. Stated the goal would be extreme situations, it would not be someone walking in
and not wearing a mask. Stated he wants to highlight that the goal would be in very extreme situations
and we should probably talk about and come up with a definition of what that is. Stated that with
education and encouragement the next step after that would be someone actively being in defiance and
include members of the public in that. Stated we should have a conversation about what is that threshold.
Stated he believes that is part of Council Member Johnson's questions about just any general business and
what constitutes a business. Stated the spirit of the discussion he's had so far is more of the example of the
event in a large room that could endanger 500 people and being told that they did not care. They did not
care about the lawful order, they did not care that they were going to get in trouble with the police, they
just did not care. Stated eventually the officers were able to get that fixed because of education and
encouragement is where you want to go in those situations. Stated that is an extreme example, how would
we classify that. Stated we would not want this to be commonly utilized, we would think that after
learning the health orders people would abide by them.
Council Member Johnson stated that is similar to the nuisance ordinance that we use in certain extreme
circumstances. Inquired if that is something similar or could this be a version of it without creating
something new.
Mayor Whipple stated that is what this ordinance was trying to do. Stated that our current ordinance in
section 14 kicks to the legislative definition of the nuisance ordinance which has language that could be
referring to public health orders. Stated it says that if you have a liquor license or a bar license you also
follow the nuisance ordinance which says that you have a standard of keeping people healthy. Stated by
taking that language and putting it directly into an ordinance it is not just a reference to statute. Stated that
is what the original document was trying to do, but again the goal was to not target one industry because
there are a lot of people that are doing it right. Stated we do not want to do something that demonizes
them.
Jennifer Magana, City Attorney, asked Council Member Johnson to repeat the question in relation to the
chronic nuisance ordinance.
Page 6
CITY COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS
OCTOBER 27, 2020
Council Member Johnson stated the nuisance ordinance sounds like that and if that is a similar thing, and
if not could the Mayor's reference be integrated into that.
Jennifer Magana, City Attorney, stated the City does have a chronic nuisance ordinance that is set forth
by triggering events for a particular address and is administered through the Police Department. Stated
there is a process in place for a series of triggering events that occur within a time period. Stated WPD
makes contact with the business owner, repeated contacts, if that does not work there is a meeting set up
and a nuisance abatement plan is put into place and the process continues through various enforcement
techniques. Stated that is what they have for chronic nuisances at this time.
Council Member Johnson inquired that if we were to, not right now, add the language that was added into
this 'any public health order of Sedgwick County Health Officer or resolution of the Sedgwick County
Board of Commissioners related to public health or safety or as by executive order of the State of Kansas
related to public health or safety', would that still be enforceable or are we out of bounds on that one.
Jennifer Magana, City Attorney, stated it would be a policy decision on how to expand if you want to
look at the chronic nuisance ordinance. Stated it is a policy decision and not really a discussion as it is a
departure from what the nuisance ordinance is drafted for. Stated it is for serious criminal, repeated
serious criminal activity as it stands now.
Mayor Whipple stated he was referring to the statutory definition that are already in the liquor license
laws and is unfamiliar with the ordinance, but it sounds like there is already a process that is similar with
the three strike. Stated that is why we have these discussions, if we already have a process, should a
violation of a public health order be able to trigger that process. Stated it might be a cleaner way to do it
so maybe direct staff to look into those options if we choose to do this more.
Council Member Blubaugh stated we have been throwing the term globally around and he looked at the
definition of how it relates to the whole world. Stated he's thinking we are elected to come up with policy
and procedures for the City of Wichita and is trying to understand.
Mayor Whipple stated we are not going to make a global policy that the rest of the world is going to
follow.
Council Member Blubaugh stated that the Mayor keeps using that term so he is trying to understand what
we are doing. Inquired if we are trying to replicate a health department in the City. Stated we have one in
the County and we are trying to reduce duplications so it comes back to that point again as to should we
be doing this here. Stated the County has judicial powers that they should be able to exercise so he keeps
questioning why are we trying to get into this. Stated he keeps asking specifically have we had an
outbreak from the bars and they keep saying follow the science and has there been anything that relates to
the bars. Stated that what he is hearing from the Mayor is about officers and enforcement and feels that
the Mayor wants our officers to become mask police and we need to think about that. Stated what does
that look like, our officers going in and out of bars checking people that they do not have their mask on or
it is not covering their nose in an environment where people are already drinking. Stated it seems to him
like having the opportunity to have a horrible viral video where somebody is trying to get a drunk outside
of a bar because they do not have their mask on. Stated it seems to create something very bad that they do
not want and is trying to understand the foundation for why the Mayor is pushing this.

OCTOBER 27, 2020
Mayor Whipple stated he is not sure if Blubaugh is making political points or actually policy.
Council Member Blubaugh stated no he is asking questions that he wants answers to. Stated I am not
playing political games, that is your game, that is your game to play the politics.
Mayor Whipple stated sure, or to enforce public health orders in a situation where we have more people
who have died from a highly contagious virus than the flu in the last 10 years. Stated do you think that us
confronting Coronavirus head on and protecting our people is a political game, is that what you are
accusing me of.
Council Member Blubaugh stated you made the accusation of me, I do not play political games but you
are the one who plays political games so you are the one that brought that up.
Mayor Whipple stated lets dig deeper into this, you seriously are asking if I am suggesting that a policy
helping us enforce Sedgwick County health orders to stop a highly contagious virus that has already
killed more people in Kansas than the flu has in the last 10 years, you are asking that I expect a global
compliance that I expect the entire world to do what we are doing here, that was a serious question.
Council Member Blubaugh stated he is asking for simple causation versus correlation. Stated you want to
address the bars and that he wants to know where the problem is at the bars, where is the outbreak at the
bars, that is what is in your crosshairs, that is what you want to focus on, that is what you want to focus
mask enforcement on so lets talk about the outbreak at the bars.
Mayor Whipple stated he does not know if he needs the Clerk to read back the statements that Council
Member Johnson made that highlights that we are not talking about the bars and your citation of the word
global means you probably heard when I referenced a global policy which means we do not want to
demonize one industry over the other. Stated the example he used was not a bar example, do you have a
text message, was not a bar example was an example of someone who ran an indoor auction. Inquired if
Blubaugh was able to hear and if he was clear when he communicated that as an example of something
extreme that our officers had to deal with to help enforce the County health order because the County
health order affects our people here in Wichita because we are a part of the County. Stated our officers
had to deal with that because they do not have policy backing them that can help them in these unique
situations. Stated your citation of the word global makes me think that you understood, unless you truly
think that I think Europe is going to follow our Wichita ordinance that I am referring to something other
than just bars.
Council Member Blubaugh stated that maybe you are misusing the definition. Stated he is here to discuss
what they have on paper on their agenda. Stated whenever you come forth and says that is not the
direction you want to go he is trying to better understand.
Mayor Whipple stated that the Vice Mayor pointed out we are in a conversation, a global conversation,
which means that everything is on the table when it comes to where we should go as far as our role in
preventing the spread of the most deadly virus our country has seen in over 100 years.
Council Member Blubaugh stated that if everything is on the table for the discussion then please help me
better understand the causation/correlation between the outbreaks in the bars and the ordinance you have
in front of us.
Mayor Whipple stated that as the Vice Mayor cited, which makes him think others understood what he
Page 8
CITY COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS
OCTOBER 27, 2020
was saying, we are not focusing on the bars. Stated we are focusing on a policy that is more globally
enforced to industries outside the bars.
Council Member Blubaugh stated so you want the Wichita Police to go in and be the mask police
everywhere in this city, not just the bars but everywhere. Stated you want us to actively use our resources
when we have so many mental health issues, so many violence in our area and you want Wichita Police
top priority to be out there making sure people have their mask on, is that the direction we are going.
Mayor Whipple stated Madam Clerk can you tell me if I used the word mask police or to police masks.
Jamie Buster, Deputy City Clerk, stated I cannot read directly from the minutes because it is recording.
Mayor Whipple inquired if anyone recalls him saying mask police. Stated when you bring up terminology
that has not actually been said then you are scoring a political point right there.
Council Member Blubaugh stated you brought up officers five different times and how to regulate and
how to manage, have officers and enforcement. Stated I am the one that used the term mask police.
Mayor Whipple stated health care orders such as people who are in open and direct defiance such as not
the bar that was the example, because I have already mentioned my small business council and it seems
like the interest of the body is not to focus on one industry. Stated you keep bringing up this one industry
and you keep bringing up masks and I just want to know is it because I have not been clear that we are
going to a bigger concept than that, and I will not use the word global, but a bigger concept, or do you
still believe that we are on masking in bars.
Council Member Blubaugh stated no.
Mayor Whipple stated ok good, good.
Council Member Blubaugh stated do not cut me off please, I said are you trying to do the mask
enforcement everywhere, right. Stated will you answer that question. Stated do you want our officers to
make it a priority to be out doing mask enforcement other than mental health, DV, crime, all of the other
issues that we have going on in our community.
Mayor Whipple stated first of all no, that is not what I'm asking. Stated second it is a real disservice to our
officers to assume that they can do one thing that they either focus on crime, or focus on enforcing lawful
policy, or focus on helping folks with mental health issues. Stated no to the question but he also rejects
the preface. Stated you still have the floor.
Council Member Blubaugh stated he has no further questions and that you still have not answered the
ones he has asked.
Mayor Whipple stated he wrote down the questions. Stated global, no. Stated global is the terminology he
is using to expand the policy beyond just bars and restaurants because he thinks they have been
demonized and he does not want them shut down universally like they were early on. Stated instead of
punishing an entire industry why not focus on educating and encouraging bad actors within certain
industries.

OCTOBER 27, 2020
Council Member Blubaugh stated he is all about education and encouragement.
Mayor Whipple stated ok.
Council Member Blubaugh stated that is where he wants our crosshairs to be.
Mayor Whipple stated ok so global we know that. Stated your other question was about the health
department. Stated there is no suggestion recreating a health department. Stated we have a health
department over at the County. Stated the point is the Health Department can make orders but they do not
have the same resources we do to educate and encourage which is a concept you disagreed we should be
doing. Stated we have more people out there that can help educate and encourage that at this moment they
do not have any guidance or direction for that.
Council Member Blubaugh stated he is all about that.
Mayor Whipple stated ok so if we come up with a policy that can help guide encouragement and
education with the resources we have as the largest city within the county then that would help the overall
goal of keeping our community healthy. Stated he is not trying to create another health department he is
trying to help the one that is already created because we have more resources on the ground than they do.
Stated bars, we are not targeting one industry over another. Stated I know I used the word global to
describe a larger concept of different sectors and he does not mean to confuse anyone with that word but
is trying to refer to stuff such as that business that has been referenced early on that was not a bar. Stated
it was just someone that wanted to be in direct defiance of the public health order that came down from
the state and also from the County and our officers had to deal with that. Stated our offices are usually the
one on the scene who have to deal with this stuff but right now we have not given them the direction of
the policy for the best way to deal with that. Stated once we have that discussion and if we take action on
it then there will be a concrete blueprint that everyone will understand. Stated that with people
understanding and actually being out there knowing what to expect then we can get compliance because
people buy into the plan. Stated it is smart policy and we should be doing that now before we are in a
crisis situation. Stated we have 90 people who are in our hospitals right now, the answer to your other
question who is from out of state, I think four of them are. Stated we have 90 people right now who are in
hospitals, our nurses have seen 2/3 more death this year alone than in previous years.
Council Member Blubaugh stated those 90 people are from Wichita or Sedgwick County other than the
four?
Mayor Whipple stated no we also have to take on Butler County residents we also have to take on
surrounding counties as well.
Council Member Blubaugh stated he is not on the call, you are, but I keep hearing that the clusters are not
from Wichita. Stated he does not have the evidence to know either way.
Mayor Whipple stated we are still dealing with it and it is still in our community. Stated it is very tough to
say that people are crossing into our county get sick and end up in our hospitals.
Council Member Blubaugh stated you might share those numbers so the public has an accurate...
Mayor Whipple stated your question or your understanding of a point that was made was out of those 90
there was a large percentage from out of state, that is not true, there is about four of them I believe.
Page 10
CITY COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS
OCTOBER 27, 2020
Council Member Blubaugh stated he is going on second hand information he has heard from the Manager
and other people have said. Stated he is not on the actual call and does not see the actual numbers.
Mayor Whipple inquired if there were any other questions he needed to answer before relinquishing the
floor to the next person in line.
Council Member Blubaugh stated no we have lots of colleagues that have been on here for 20 minutes we
want to have a public discussion but you have done most of the talking.
Mayor Whipple stated he will not be accused of not answering the questions and then be ridiculed when
he answers the questions, do you have another question or can I give the floor to someone else.
Council Member Tuttle stated she does not want to be redundant but would like to emphasize a few
points and then has a question. Stated at a Health Alliance meeting on October 2nd there was an
infectious disease physician from Wesley who stated that the three main clusters in Wichita are youth
sports, churches, and family gatherings. Stated that she is concerned that having something that is not just
targeting bars and restaurants but targeting businesses really is not getting to the root cause of the issue.
Stated that youth sports, churches, and family gatherings are not businesses. Stated her next concern that
she wants to reemphasize is she is not sure if the County wants this or feels it is warranted stated she feels
its meant in the spirit of protecting the health of the community which has been her work for the last 26
years but just wants to make sure we are proposing something that is actually a needed solution. Stated it
is targeting businesses of all sizes, not just bars and restaurants, she does not think we can proceed
without the Wichita Regional Chamber of Commerce, the Wichita Independent Business Association and
other entities who represent the voice of businesses to make sure we are getting it right. Stated a comment
was made that we have more resources than the County to be able to do that and is not sure that is an
accurate statement, she is not saying it is not, but is not sure. Stated she knows the Wichita Police
Department is already really really busy protecting our community and public safety and wants to make
sure how much time we have to allocate and what success would look like. Stated her final question
would be she heard we want to pass this in case there is an actual crisis that we are being preventive, and
again she appreciates the spirit of being preventive but wants to know what the actual threshold for that
crisis is. Stated is it how ever many businesses violate then we kick it in, is it how many cases then we
kick it in, stated she has not heard anything of an actual threshold of when this would actually happen
other than she heard the comment of when there is a crisis and that is a very vague term. Stated just a few
thoughts but the number one thing that she wanted to emphasize is we should not proceed with this unless
we have consulted with the County to make sure that they feel this is something that is warranted and
necessary and vital for the health of our community and that would augment the work that they are doing.
Mayor Whipple stated just to recap we want to make sure that the business community is at the table so
they can have buy in and also ensure that the County is at the table so we are in agreement. Stated is that a
good recap. Stated we will also put some standards and definitions in so that we all have a shared
expectation on how and when this will be utilized.
Council Member Tuttle stated yes and she mentioned the Wichita Area Regional Chamber of Commerce
and WIBA and others. Stated she thinks so many times when we do work, not just us here at the Wichita
City Council, but we talk about reaching out to the movers and shakers and often times we forget about
the moved and the shaken. Stated by that she means who is actually going to be impacted by this.
Stated what are the unintended consequences for businesses for them trying to enforce and for our police
department. Stated she wants us not to just think about the key players such as the Chamber, WIBA, and
Page 11
CITY COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS
OCTOBER 27, 2020
the County but also the moved and the shaken, who is going to be impacted by this and what would it
mean to them and what could be the unintended consequences.
Mayor Whipple inquired if we could also get a review of the unintended consequences of not doing
anything and having Coronavirus spread throughout our county or our city if public health orders
designed to stop this spread are enforceable or even to the point we can educate and encourage. Stated
maybe we can get staff to bit of an analysis of what the Coronavirus has done so far to our local economy
and then an analysis of if the numbers continue to jump what that economic impact would be on our
businesses. Stated his understanding is one out of every six businesses, small businesses, have closed so
far. Stated if we are going to do an analysis for hopefully what will later be a policy discussion not a
debate then maybe we can also have the other side of the economic impact as well.
Council Member Frye stated a lot has been discussed here and emotions are high and hopes we can dial it
back and everyone can just focus on the task at hand. Stated the task at hand is doing what is best for
Wichita and protecting our citizens and our businesses. Stated the Mayor said it himself that there are a
lot of businesses doing things right and following the County health order. Stated he believes the County
has a process in place via civil actions in District Court if there are willful violators who are flaunting it
and deciding to go against the health order. Stated there is also the risk of liability if the orders are not
followed. Stated he thinks those two things should be enough alone for responsible businesses to comply.
Stated he has no problem looking at the chronic nuisance ordinance to see if we can work without
penalizing or unintended consequences for our businesses that are already struggling that because of
individual actions they could be penalized. Stated he does not think that is fair to our small businesses and
to our main industry in town. Stated we already know that retail, restaurant, hospitality, is facing a huge
potential for closure, as high as 30% could fail. Stated if we continue to go down this road and there is
unintended consequences without visiting with the County to see what they feel is necessary. Stated they
have a lot more Coronavirus CARES funding available to them than we do and if they are not taking
these steps because they feel it is fine then I do not know why we would continue to dip into an already
strained budget that we do not have the ability to. Stated those are a lot of concerns that need to stay on
focus on task as we have this discussion.
Mayor Whipple stated he wants to just highlight a point to make sure it makes it into the minutes clearly.
Stated yes, the goal would be not to penalize an organization or business based on the actions of
individuals outside of that organization. Stated during his small business council they had this discussion
and compared it to speeding where people who speed a few miles over here and there is not who we
would be looking at. Stated we would be looking at the people who are hosting and promoting an illegal
drag race. Stated those are the ones we want to look at, those saying I am going to have a drag race right
now that will endanger people driving and those others that are on the road and I am willing to host that
and make money off of it. Stated those are going to be the ones that we need to target not just the smaller
stuff. Stated he wants to make that very clear that is what his intention is too. Stated in the extreme
situation where someone is hosting a drag race that should be handled differently. Stated that he agrees
we should have a partnership with the County, but disagrees with the idea that we secede our power to the
County. Stated the way it reads and the way that other counties and cities interpret this is that we do not
secede our responsibility to the people of Wichita to the County on issues of public health, they absorb us.
Stated we are part of the solution and part of the plan and cannot just stay on the sideline and let the
County handle it all when we also have boots on the ground. Stated they do have the CARES Act money
but we also every week help administer the CARES Act money because we have the Housing
Department, we have complimentary services that can help utilize or structures that can help utilize this
money for better service. Stated that is what he is wondering when it comes to ensuring that we have
education and encouragement should we also be taking a part in that as well. Stated he gets that
Page 12
CITY COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS
OCTOBER 27, 2020
Coronavirus is a political recharge topic but it is also a public health issue and does not think that we can
just sit on the sidelines and say I cannot just let my County Commissioner handle this, right, I am also the
Mayor so do we have a role to play and that is the discussion today. Stated he rather have this discussion
in public and that is why we are having it in public and is glad that it is going into more of a policy
discussion and less of a debate.
Council Member Frye stated that he does not think that any Council Members feels it is our role to
maintain this crisis. Stated we need to work together with our partners at the County who is the Health
Department and give us their best information and resources as to how they feel they should address this.
Stated that is the way this is set up. Stated he is not seceding our place, that is the place right now.
Mayor Whipple stated wait, so you are acknowledging then that we do not have a role as the City of
Wichita and we are not seceding that is the place, is that an acknowledgement that we do not have a
place.
Council Member Frye stated no I said we should work together with them.
Mayor Whipple stated ok. Stated moving forward if we come up with a policy it should be in
collaboration with the County.
Council Member Frye stated again, continue the discussions, if it gets to the policy level that is fine.
Stated at this point they have not even been part of the discussion as it relates to policy so that could be a
result but at this point we do not know.
Mayor Whipple stated right we have to start the discussion.
Council Member Frye stated before we get to the policy adoption correct.
Council Member Johnson stated he likes the dialog we have had. Stated if the body wants to go forward
with this then maybe we have a workshop that would take in the Vice Mayor's suggestion of reviewing
the County policy to see how that compares to the discussion today, Council Member Tuttle's suggestion
of getting our partners input as well and seeing if there are any gaps and having that as a workshop where
we could have further discussion.
Mayor Whipple inquired if we could invite the County over to a workshop, he knows it is a French word
that he always butcher and will refer to the manager, but can we invite. Stated the goal is these numbers
are going to shoot up and we have a few months that we really have to work to protect our most
vulnerable citizens. Stated maybe there will be a policy that comes in place that maybe we do not even
have to implement if vaccines and better medication comes out. Stated that if we could get a joint
meeting, a joint workshop, and try to duel out roles and let them know that we are here to help them,
could we set that up.
Robert Layton, City Manager, stated the Council has had En Banc sessions with the County Commission
before, but if he could suggest an alternative, instead of trying to make policy at an En Banc session
perhaps what we could do is, and what I have heard several of you ask for, is that we work with the
County staff to determine where the gaps are in enforcement right now. Stated then we can see what their
suggestions are and where the City can come alongside it and help if there are gaps. Stated at that point
we can present that to both the County Commission and the City Council and if there is a need for an En
Page 13
CITY COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS
OCTOBER 27, 2020
Banc session to have further discussions you could do that. Stated first lets determine what their
enforcement abilities are and whether or not there is a need for us to be involved.
Mayor Whipple stated ok, and that would be the first step then and we could have a report back. Stated it
seems like there is some overlap and some stuff that we could handle if we are already on the scenes that
would not use tax payer money by getting someone from the County on the scene and overall we could
have a collaborative approach.
Council Member Tuttle stated she wants to emphasize again that if we are having discussions with the
County it does not necessarily mean that we are going to proceed with something, but we are going to see
if they need something and then proceed. Stated she thinks that is something that is critical, we cannot
just say we are going to talk to the County and then keep moving forward. Stated she does not think that
is what anybody wants to see happen. Stated again she does not want this to get lost, but would be
challenged to support something that does not have a threshold of when this ordinance would kick in and
wanted to reemphasize that. Stated she looks forward to more conversations in the future with the County
to see what their needs are and if we can possibly be helpful to them.
Mayor Whipple stated he disagrees with the last statement. Stated that he would like for the Manager to
look into not just what the County needs are but what our community needs are. Stated that if what their
needs are and what they expect, does that actually meet the community needs of helping subdue this
virus, does that meet with our health care community’s needs. Stated he sees us as equal players with the
County and we do not work for them. Stated he wants to work with them but if they tell us not to do
something then they have to cover that then. Stated we are not just going to stand by and let people get
sick. Inquired if there was any more discussion. Stated good then that went well.
Council Member Frye stated your definition of well is interesting.
Mayor Whipple stated to be honest he wants more of this and is wondering if we can have, perhaps
Friday's and is going to throw it out there in public so everyone knows. Stated when we have our short
meetings when we discuss what the agenda will be can we possibly keep about 15-20 minutes during that
public meeting where our members can share ideas and have policy ideas bounced around. Stated he
wants to create the culture in which we can openly discuss policy without having a debate, just going
back and forth with ideas for the betterment of our community and not just relying on staff presenting us
stuff or trying to have those discussions through email where not everyone can see that. Stated that is his
thought moving forward instead of doing it from the bench where during a meeting, if we can take
advantage of some of that time on a Friday where it is usually a pretty short meeting while we are all
there maybe we can add something to the agenda where we will have open discussion about policy ideas
and stuff we are hearing that we can all work on. Stated he wants to put that out there.
Council Member Frye stated he does not think we have done enough of it in the last 10 months of one on
one discussions between Council Members as it relates to policy and ideas. Stated he does not think
everything has to be done at a workshop or a council. Stated there has always been great conversations in
the past when Council Members, Mayor Council Members, etc. have discussions and dialog individually,
in groups of two, not serial meetings, but open discussion amongst peers. Stated that needs to return, we
need to have more of that, and it takes everyone coming to the table sharing opinions, ideas, solutions and
we cannot operate in a vacuum. State this community is facing the greatest challenge we have ever faced.
Stated our economy is at an all time risk, it is going to take maybe eight years or longer to get our GDP
back to where it needs to be. Stated we have talked about the small business struggle and those are the
type of things we need to be focusing on as well and have barely touched that. Stated he encourages all of
Page 14
CITY COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS
OCTOBER 27, 2020
them to do a better job of talking and sharing with each other and not just at open meetings like this.
Stated he is not suggesting KOMA violations or private, but just better dialogue and peer discussion.
Council Member Tuttle stated she has a question for legal. Stated that the Mayor proposed that after
agenda reviews which are every Friday at 11:00 a.m. that we are going to have a Council meeting that we
have some sort of open discussion and policy discussions. Stated she is asking a question she does not
know the answer to and there is no judgement in this and is just curious, is that something we could do.
Inquired if we could just have open policy discussions and how would the public know what the agenda
is. Stated that not everything has to be answered right now but is just cautious of promising the
community that it could be something that could happen and then we do not deliver because we actually
cannot do it.
Jennifer Magana, City Attorney, stated that these meetings are open to the public and that is the key.
Stated the first thing is that we comply with the Kansas Open Meetings Act. Stated that those meetings
have the opportunity for some open discussion and no vote or binding action can be taken of course.
Stated we can look further into the ordinances to see what constitutes our meeting and our agenda
process. Stated that as long as those meetings are open that is the key.
X) COUNCIL MEMBER APPOINTMENTS AND COMMENTS
1.) Board Appointments.
Council Member Tuttle stated that on her way in this morning she saw our city crew was still out making
sure the roads were safe and on Sunday she saw they were putting some of the deicing stuff out getting
ready. Stated she wants to give a shout out to our Public Works & Utilities team who get up really early
to make sure that we can get around the city to do the business and education and fun things that we want
to do. Stated thank you to them and hope they continue to stay safe as we have some more inclement
weather today.
Council Member Johnson stated we just broke ground on the new water treatment facility and heard how
good our staff was in making that process seamless. Stated he wanted to shout out to Public Works &
Utilities for all of their help on that project as well.

Agenda Item No. II-3a
City of Wichita
City Council Meeting
October 27, 2020
TO: Mayor and City Council
SUBJECT: Acquisition of Permanent Easement at 2250 North Hoover for the Hoover Road
Multi-Use Path Project (District VI)
INITIATED BY: Office of Property Management
AGENDA: Consent
Recommendation: Approve the acquisition.
Background: On November 5, 2019, the City Council approved the funding for the construction of the
Hoover Road Multi-Use Path from Zoo Boulevard to 29th Street North. The project calls for the
installation of a 10-foot wide multi-use path along the east side of Hoover Road. The project impacts 12
tracts. There are 11 partial acquisitions, some with temporary easements, and one acquisition of a
permanent sidewalk easement. A sidewalk easement is needed from the property at 2250 North Hoover.
This property is improved with an industrial building.
Analysis: The owner of 2250 North Hoover agreed to accept the estimated appraised value of $760, or
$2 per square-foot, for the 379.43 square-foot permanent easement. An in-ground sprinkler system is
impacted by the proposed improvements and will be relocated by the owner. An estimate of $2,000 was
received for the relocation of the sprinkler system for a total of $2,760.
Financial Considerations: The funding source for the acquisitions is General Obligation bonds. A
budget of $2,860 is requested. This includes $2,760 for the acquisition and $100 for administrative fees
and recording fees.
Legal Considerations: The real estate agreement has been reviewed and approved as to form by the
Law Department.
Recommendation/Action: It is recommended that the City Council approve the acquisition, authorize
the budget and authorize the Mayor to sign any necessary documents.
Attachments: Real estate easement agreement, tract map, and aerial.

City of Wichita
City Council Meeting
October 27, 2020
TO: Mayor and City Council
SUBJECT: Acquisition of Right-of-Way at the Northwest Corner of West Pawnee and 119th
Street for the Road Improvement Project, Pawnee - 119th to 135th Streets West
(District IV)
INITIATED BY: Office of Property Management
AGENDA: Consent
Recommendation: Approve the acquisition.
Background: On August 19, 2019, the City Council approved funding for the design of improvements
to Pawnee from 119th Street West to 135th Street West. This section of Pawnee Avenue is a narrow, two-
lane asphalt mat roadway without sidewalks or a curb and gutter drainage system. The project calls for
improving the roadway to enhance safety. A curb and gutter system will be installed on the north side of
the road, and a suitable shoulder on the other. A pedestrian walkway will be constructed on the north
side of Pawnee. On April 21, 2020, a temporary construction easement was acquired from this property
to facilitate construction. Engineering later requested that the temporary easement area be converted to
road right-of-way.
Analysis: The 3,302 square-foot temporary construction easement is being converted into road right-of-
way. The owner agreed to accept the estimated appraised value of $6,605, or $2 per square-foot.
Financial Considerations: The funding source for the acquisitions is General Obligation bonds. A
budget of $6,705 is requested. This includes $6,605 for the acquisition and $100 for administrative fees

AGENDA: Consent
Recommendation: Approve the assessments and place the ordinances on first reading.
Background: The Metropolitan Area Building and Construction Department (MABCD) supports

the cost to the property owner.
Analysis: State law and City ordinance allow placement of the demolition and board-up costs as a
special property tax assessment if the property owner does not pay. Payment has not been received for
the demolition and board-up abatements in question and the MABCD is requesting permission for the
Department of Finance to process the necessary special assessments.
Financial Considerations: Statements of Charges will be mailed to the property owners on November 6,
2020. The property owners have 30 days from the date of the statement to pay the assessment and avoid
paying interest. If unpaid, the principal and interest will then be spread for one year and placed on the
2021 tax roll.
Legal Considerations: The ordinances have been reviewed and approved as to form by the Law
Department.
Recommendations/Actions: It is recommended that the City Council approve the proposed assessments
and place the ordinances on first reading.
Attachments: Property List for Special Assessments and Ordinances.

Agenda Item No. II-8
City of Wichita
City Council Meeting
October 27, 2020
TO: Mayor and City Council
SUBJECT: Amending Ordinance Sidewalk Repair Assessment Program (District I)
INITIATED BY: Department of Public Works & Utilities
AGENDA: Consent
Recommendation: Place the amending ordinance on first reading.
Background: On September 8, 2020, the City Council passed Ordinance 51-339. After review of one
particular address with the adjacent property owner, staff recommends a sharing of the cost for the
sidewalk repairs.
Analysis: Ordinance 51-339, included a proposed assessment for sidewalk repairs at N ½ Lot 18 – All
Lots 20-22-024 Ellis Strong’s Addition in the amount of $964.40. After review of the location, Public
Works & Utilities staff recommend a sharing of the cost with the property owner. The reason staff
recommends this action is that proper notification was not given to the property owner.
Financial Considerations: Reverse the assessment of $964.40, and send the property owner an invoice
for $500 for the sidewalk repair cost.
Legal Considerations: The ordinance has been reviewed and approved as to form by the Law
Department.
Recommendation/Action: It is recommended that the City Council approve the proposed assessments
and place the ordinance on first reading and authorize the necessary signatures.
Attachments: Property lists for special assessments and amending ordinance.

Agenda Item No. II-9
City of Wichita
City Council Meeting
October 27, 2020
TO: Mayor and City Council
SUBJECT: Sale of City-Owned Property at 1349 North Minnesota (District I)
INITIATED BY: Office of Property Management
AGENDA: Consent
Recommendation: Approve the contract.
Background: The City has received an offer to acquire land at 1349 North Minnesota. The site was
once improved with a single-family residence, which was razed when the 13th Street corridor was
widened between Hydraulic and Oliver. This property was declared surplus by the Wichita City Council
on July 7, 2015, along with 23 other parcels of variousl sizes. A survey is required to separate that part to
be sold from what will be retained as road right-of-way.
Analysis: An offer in the amount of $5,225, or an estimated $0.55 per square-foot, has been received.
The offerer has agreed to procure a survey as part of the purchase price. The site will be improved with a
single-family residence.
Financial Considerations: The City will receive cash consideration for the sale of the property. In
addition, the sale of this property to a private party will place additional value into the tax base and relieve
the City of any maintenance costs. The initial 13th Street Road project was funded by General Obligation
bonds. The proceeds from the sale will be deposited to the Debt Service Fund.
Legal Considerations: The Law Department has approved the contract as to form.
Recommendation/Action: It is recommended that the City Council approve the sale and authorize all
necessary signatures.
Attachments: Aerial map and real estate contract.

City of Wichita
City Council Meeting
October 27, 2020
TO: Mayor and City Council
SUBJECT: Heritage Trust Fund Grant Application for Improvements at the Kansas Aviation
Museum (District III)
INITIATED BY: Division of Arts & Cultural Services
AGENDA: Consent
______________________________________________________________________________
Recommendation: Approve the Heritage Trust Fund (HTF) grant application, authorized staff to
negotiate a sub-recipient agreement and authorize necessary signatures.
Background: The Heritage Trust Fund was created in 1990 by the Kansas Historical Society to assist in
the preservation of historic properties in Kansas. The Kansas Aviation Museum was designated as a
historical monument as part of the United States Department of Interior’s historical property designation
on October 30, 1990. The property located at 3350 S. George Washington Boulevard is owned by the
City of Wichita and has been leased by the Kansas Aviation Museum since October 1990. The Kansas
Aviation Museum operates pursuant to an agreement with the City of Wichita that identifies the property
maintenance responsibilities of each party.
Analysis: The HTF grant allows historical properties to apply for funds to address planning and
construction to address the rehabilitation, restoration or preservation of a property. The grant application
is requesting $87,000. If awarded, the HTF grant would be used for the renovation of the baggage claim
area within the Kansas Aviation Museum. This space is currently inaccessible to the public due to safety
concerns. Renovation is necessary to address structural concerns in the baggage claim area and mitigate
potential risks to the rest of the facility.
The HTF grant program requires the property owner to be listed as the grant applicant and the governing
body of the applicant to approve the application. The City will negotiate a sub-recipient agreement with
the Kansas Aviation Museum.
Financial Consideration: The HTF grant would reimburse up to 80% of approved construction
expenditures. The Kansas Aviation Museum, through a sub-recipient agreement with the City, would be
responsible for the remaining 20% of project costs in addition to consultant fees. There would be no
additional financial contributions to the project by the City of Wichita.
Legal Consideration: The Law Department has reviewed the application and approved as to form, and
will approve as to form any necessary sub-recipient agreement.
Recommendations/Action: It is recommended that the City Council approve the HTF grant application,
authorize staff to negotiate a sub-recipient agreement with the Kansas Aviation Museum and authorize the
necessary signatures.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION (500 characters)
This project will renovate an area of the Kansas Aviation Museum (KAM) that once served as
the baggage claim. This space is inaccessible to the public and is currently used for storage.
The project mitigates structural concerns with a complete overhaul: demolition and debris
removal, resurfacing floors, stairs, ramp and tarmac, remediating and sealing to prevent
moisture, abating mold/lead paint/asbestos, refitting light fixtures and doors, tuck-pointing the
exterior and repairing the roof.
Historical Significance of Property: (1500 characters)
Housed in the former Wichita Municipal Airport building in the southeast part of Wichita, KAM
offers a glimpse into the nostalgic days of air travel, showcasing Kansas’ proud aviation history.
Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the museum is one of the largest surviving
examples of Art Deco architecture in South Central Kansas. Since opening in 1991, KAM has
become a popular destination for field trips, as well as a scenic venue for weddings, corporate
events, educational seminars, and job fairs.
In 1930, Wichita boasted production of 25% of the country’s aircraft, setting the stage for the
construction of Wichita’s Municipal Airport terminal. It was completed in 1943, when flanking
wings were added. Over the years, aviation luminaries and celebrities such as Charles
1
54
Lindbergh, Amelia Earhart, Howard Hughes, and Fred Astaire graced the facility with their
presence.
In 1951, the airport was sold to the Federal government and renamed Wichita Air Force Base,
which subsequently became McConnell Air Force Base. In 1990, under the Historic Surplus
Property Program, the building was transferred to the City of Wichita, which in turn leased it to
the KAM Board of Trustees.
KAM evokes the beginnings of air travel and the heyday of aviation in the heartland, letting the
public view Kansas aviation history up close. KAM is a unique attraction for visitors to the Air
Capital of the World, and also hosts the annual induction ceremony for the Kansas Aviation Hall
of Fame.
Community Benefit and Support: (1500 characters)
Wichita has been known as the "Air Capital of the World" since the 1920s. Eisenhower National
Airport uses this slogan to appeal to travelers even in the 2020s.
Not only is KAM’s building historically significant, but the museum is the only place where
visitors can view and experience planes, artifacts, and archival documents from the early days
of Kansas aviation and Wichita’s rich aviation heritage. Detailed exhibits chronicle the stories of
important aviation pioneers such as Cessna, Beech, Stearman, Lear, and more. Planes on
display give visitors an up-close and intimate view of a Beech Staggerwing, a Watkins Skylark,
a Mooney Mite, and a Swallow to name a few.
True stories of Wichita’s aircraft heritage are brought to life, revolving around the planes, pilots,
and companies that were part of the city’s aviation history from the very beginnings of flight. The
Kansas Aviation Hall of Fame is a focal point, highlighting the contributions of over 50 men and
women who carved out their niche in Kansas aviation lore. It is imperative to keep these stories
alive and not lose sight of Wichita’s aviation history. Experiencing these artifacts up close and
reliving the stories they represent inspires visitors to learn more.
KAM hosts more than 25,000 visitors annually. Community support is evidenced by the more
than 100 volunteers who give their time to help keep the museum running efficiently and provide
a significant portion of the donor contributions given each year.
Condition of the Property and Urgency of Preservation Work: (2,000 characters)
Without repair work in this baggage claim area, the building is structurally at risk. There has
previously been water damage requiring removal of mold on the ceilings, walls and flooring. In
addition, before work can be started, lead paint and asbestos abatement is needed. These
issues will eventually impact the rest of the facility, creating an unsafe place for employees and
visitors. Outside, areas of pavement have cracked and broken loose, making it unsafe for
walking. This pavement requires removal and the concrete needs resurfacing.
The baggage/ramp area that is highlighted for work in this request has been waiting for years to
receive attention. It is likely that continued lack of maintenance and attention will start to affect
the structural soundness of the area and increase the expense of renovation. The area is
currently barricaded and off limits to the public. This is particularly disheartening because it
served in days gone by as the people-friendly and busy portal to boarding planes.
Because of its age, the building that houses KAM continually needs preventive maintenance
and remedial work. Planned expansion of exhibit floor space and the need for a more functional,
2
55
organized area for the archival work of the curator makes the proposed remodel imperative. A
systematic and functional layout for the housing of the expanding collection will allow for better
preservation, categorization, protection and exhibition of the archives, artifacts and publications
to occur in a safe and researchable manner.
Endangered Property: (1500 characters)
If allowed to denigrate further, this area of the building will become a totally unusable space
deemed uninhabitable and dangerous to the health and safety of staff due to lead paint and
asbestos. There has been water damage in the past which has resulted mold growth. There is
also the risk of eventual structural damage to interior and exterior parts of the building if this
repair work is not completed in a timely manner.
Due to the age of the building and past preventative maintenance practices, the time has come
to restore the baggage/ramp area. The first steps to historic preservation to this part of the
original Wichita Municipal Airport terminal building is to remediate the decay that has happened
over the years, and then to restore the baggage claim space to the historic Art Deco period look
that is evident in the atrium/terminal area adjacent to it.
Financial Need: (1500 characters)
The museum has many building needs, with the renovation of the historic municipal airport
baggage claim area being only one. The application to the Heritage Trust Fund is the first
attempt to obtain support for this project. At some point in the future, a well-planned capital
campaign will need to be constructed to meet the ongoing facility remodel and future needs of
the museum.
The City of Wichita is addressing the roof and tuck pointing but funding available for this type of
project is limited. Recent grant awards for exhibits is encouraging, but there is much more work
to be completed, which will require funding for preservation and restoration of the building itself.
The City of Wichita and KAM continue to seek grant funding from donors such as the
Sunderland Foundation, the Fred and Mary Koch Foundation, the Honda Foundation and
others. Most funding is program-related and support for historic building projects is difficult to
obtain.
Match requirements of 20%: (must be in-hand when application is submitted) (500 char)
The grantee match portion is $17,400. The funds are housed in KAM’s restricted funds,
available to apply to the cost of this project. Unrestricted donations from fund raising efforts and
events will be captured leading up to the actual construction and payment of vendors to ensure
cash flow remains steady until reimbursement from grant submission requests is received.
Applicant’s Administrative ability: (1500 characters)
The grant administrator will be Bernadette Bradshaw, City of Wichita, Division of Arts and
Cultural Services. Ms. Bradshaw has 12 years of experience in grant administration for the City
of Wichita’s arts and cultural grant program. She oversees 25 – 30 arts organization grant
applications and funding contracts on an annual basis. She also ensures compliance with
performance measures and reports related to the grant funding allocated to the organizations.
Ms. Bradshaw also works with the museum’s staff to submit the biennial report to the Historic
Surplus Properties to ensure compliance is met for preservation requirements.
Project Schedule, Budget, Scope of Work: (1500 characters)

56
The baggage and ramp entry areas require extensive work to return to usable space for
exhibiting collection items and re-creating the look and architectural elements of the original Art
Deco municipal airport. Once renovated, this area will serve as the gateway to KAM’s outdoor
plane exhibits and serve as a catalyst for expanded outdoor events.
Scope of Work: The proposed work involves 1,800 sq. ft. of interior space and 5,000 sq. ft. of
exterior ramp area. This project will require major interior wall work, floor repair and
replacement, electrical upgrading and ceiling repair and re-construction.

City of Wichita
City Council Meeting
October 27, 2020
TO: Wichita Airport Authority
SUBJECT: Comm Link, Inc.
NEC Phone System Maintenance Agreement
Wichita Dwight D. Eisenhower National Airport
INITIATED BY: Department of Airports
AGENDA: Wichita Airport Authority (Consent)
Recommendation: Approve the agreement.
Background: Comm Link, Inc. (CLI) was the provider and installer of the NEC phone system at
Eisenhower National Airport in 2015. In order for the NEC phone system to continue to operate properly,
it is prudent to have routine maintenance, service, and repair on the equipment performed by an NEC
authorized partner. CLI has provided that maintenance support service for the past year.
Analysis: CLI is the NEC authorized dealer serving the Central Plains region. It is desirable to continue
to contract with CLI to provide 24 hours a day/7 days a week/365 days a year support for the identified
service types with defined response times depending on the kind of service. Major service failure, minor
service failure, and maintenance services are included in the negotiated maintenance agreement. Billable
support is also included to address any needed services outside the definition of the above three service
categories.
Financial Considerations: The cost of the services provided is $53,500 for one-year, including NEC
software assurance, which is a 28% reduction from the prior year due to lower activity. An hourly rate of
$95 applies to billable support provided during regular business hours. The funds for this program are
included in the approved Airport operating budget.
Legal Considerations: The Law Department has reviewed and approved the agreement as to form.
Recommendations/Actions: It is recommended that the Wichita Airport Authority approve the
agreement and authorize the necessary signatures.
