Motion carried 6 to 0. The following Proclamations were read aloud by Mayor Whipple: Fine Arts in Our Schools Month Black Maternal and Infant Health Awareness Day National Social Work Month I) PUBLIC AGENDA 1.) Celeste Racette - Developments in Wichita. Celeste Racette stated she has three points to make: 1) without an ethics policy, citizens don't know if a type of pay-to-play exists for developers. Stated you can be voting in favor of a development project because of campaign contributions; 2) development deals are approved without citizen votes, we have no say; and 3) you don't seem to actually know the cost of these projects; Riverside TIF is an example of development in a neighborhood by developers who are neighbors and friends of a current City Council Member. Stated not one of you abstained from voting on this development or mentioned if a conflict of interest existed between you and the developer. Stated instead of requiring the developers to use special assessments, you created a TIF District to take care of the sewer lift station upgrades. Stated river front land was given away, that the public owned to the developers without a competitive bid, without publication of the land give away in the local newspaper. Stated three of you are up for reelection this year; when are you passing an ethics policy. Stated development deals are being approved without a citizen vote, the new ballpark stadium has cost $42 million in Star Bonds so far, the Wichita Eagle is calling it a $90 million dollar stadium; did citizens of Wichita vote on this development; no. Stated did Wichita citizens vote on the two percent extra CID sales tax for this ball stadium; no and the baseball team has dropped from AAA to AA, the affiliation has shifted from Miami Marlins to Minnesota Twins. Stated a full year has gone by and nobody has sat in this new stadium but you all went ahead and spent  Page 2 CITY COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS MARCH 16, 2021 $42 million on the stadium without a citizen vote and paid for it with debt that has to be paid back with interest and you plan to spend more money. Stated does anyone really know how much the stadium is really going to cost us. Stated COVID has changed things. Vice Mayor Johnson asked the City Manager if we are voting on a City ethics policy on May 4th. Bob Layton City Manager stated yes. Vice Mayor Johnson asked when we are going to start publicly talking about the budget and our financial situation. Bob Layton City Manager stated we have a public retreat in April. 2.) Andrew Crane - Transportation for the Blind Community. 2) Andrew Crane stated he is with Guiding Paws ICT and is here today to talk about boosting the transportation in Wichita. Stated he has been on a big kick to get you guys revved up here and we need to do some upgrades on the Transit Center and paint that building. Stated he is going to be doing a presentation on November 12, 2021 for the Wichita business community here on blind individuals with guide dogs and the importance that blind individuals need jobs and would like to see all of the Council there. 3.) Marissa Rapp - Students perspective on climate change. 3) Marissa Rapp stated she is a junior at Wichita East High School and is here today because she is concerned about her future. Stated climate change is a long-term destruction of average weather patterns that define earth's climate. Stated according to the World Economic Forum, we will likely cross the threshold for dangerous temperatures at the earliest in 2027. Stated by that point such damage will be irreversible. Stated we have already seen repercussions like devastating hurricanes and inconsistent weather patterns for which we are not prepared. Stated given these urgent deadlines, the safety and wellbeing of your children and grandchildren and her future children is in danger. Stated kids like us are able to make small changes in our daily lives to help reduce our carbon footprint, however, these changes are nothing in compression to what you have the power to do. Stated it is our goal to encourage awareness of climate change among Wichitans and creating an educated population is the first step in preserving our futures. Stated by creating a sustainability plan we can be more conscious with our contributions to the decay of our environment. Elizabeth Ingram stated she is currently a junior and Wichita North High School. Stated she is here today because this is her future and she must take a stand and shared her perspective on climate change. Council Member Claycomb stated we are kind of headed down this path and asked the City Manager to speak on this a little bit on our plans for sustainability. Bob Layton City Manager stated we have done initial work on some provisions or portions of sustainability especially in terms of energy and air quality. Stated we are trying to pull together a more comprehensive plan using assistance from WSU's Environmental Finance Center and they are working with us to identify projects that will help us move forward in a more strategic way on sustainability initiatives. Stated we hope to have the work completed sometime this year and then bring recommendations back to the Council in terms of the plan.  Page 3 CITY COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS MARCH 16, 2021 Vice Mayor Johnson thanked both students for speaking up and using your voices. Mayor Whipple stated one thing we were able to get accomplished last year was renewable energy and asked the City Manager for the details on this and believes our City buildings are 90% now powered by wind. Bob Layton City Manager stated he doesn't have the exact percentage but we have been in a long-term energy agreement with Evergy and a majority of the power that we purchase from Evergy will be wind based. 4.) Jane Byrnes - Release draft of climate change plans, Sustainability Plans. 4) Jane Byrnes stated many folks like them are concerned about the global climate emergency and feeling overwhelmed by it and wanting to do something about it. Stated today we are asking the City Council to release its draft of the Wichita Sustainability Plan and also ask that it be open to vigorous input by Wichitans of all ages. Stated we are also asking that the updated plan be publicized and activated so that we all have something to do. Council Member Tuttle Bob Layton City Manager Council Member Tuttle stated the City Manager mentioned we are working with WSU and we're working on our plan and will hopefully have a draft plan in 2021. Stated do you have a more specific timeline and share what our plan for community engagement is. Bob Layton City Manager stated it is probably going to be towards the end of the year. Stated it is extensive work that is being done, up until this point we have been pretty tactical in our approach and not strategic and that is the idea, to pull this together in a more comprehensive way. Stated he is not sure where we will go when the work is done at the staff level. Stated there is the possibility that the Mayor and Council could create a committee to work on the initial draft and go forward or maybe something that we work out with Council and decide on an engagement strategy going forward. 5.) Michael McCorkle - Climate changes coming. 5) Michael McCorkle stated our planet is facing a global climate change emergency. Stated since 1979, US government leaders at all levels have learned about the consequences of global warming. Stated 42 years later, most elected public leaders are still not actively working to help their communities adapt to and mitigate climate change, which is a global challenge and a life or death issue for future generations. Stated communities everywhere must begin planning how they can reduce emissions so future generations will have any future at all. Stated the consequences of not addressing this problem, cannot be exaggerated. Stated community leaders who prioritize their citizen's quality of life today and for future generations, have begun the essential work of developing local environment and sustainability plans. Stated over a year ago a written copy of Wichita's sustainability plan was seen but has still not been made public and today calls for the Wichita City Council to release the existing plan that it has been working on for public comment and coordination.  Page 4 CITY COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS MARCH 16, 2021 II) CONSENT AGENDA ITEMS 1 THROUGH 32 Vice Mayor Johnson stated he and Chief Ramsay did a Facebook live on Friday, regarding some of the issues with our law enforcement department.

(ITEM MOVED FROM COUNCIL MEMBER AGENDA) Attachment: Agenda Report No. V-1.docx Mayor Whipple stated the last meeting in which this was on the agenda, did not result in any of the candidates receiving the necessary four votes to secure the position, therefore, the ordinance states that the process is moved to the next scheduled regular meeting. Stated the process we followed last time was calling everyone up by alphabetical order, allowing them each three minutes to speak, and going through the written ballots and having them read by the City Clerk. Stated Council Member Blubaugh is attending virtually and will be voting by voice. 1) Jared Cerullo stated this remains an incredible honor and is truly honored to even be considered for this seat. Stated it is with gratitude and a sense of responsibility that he seeks to serve the residents of District 3. Stated he thinks about this position every single day and it pains him to see that our seat on this Council continues to go unrepresented and would strongly urge the Council to come to a consensus today and give District 3 the respect that it deserves by choosing someone. Stated District 3 deserves to be represented by a qualified and engaged person and while yes, he truly believes that he is the best candidate for the seat, is confident that any one of the five people who remain would be capable of representing District 3. Stated he seeks the seat because each and every resident of District 3 deserves to have a strong foundation from which to thrive, which means quality schools, churches, mentors, investments in their neighborhoods, small businesses, and good jobs. Stated over these last few months he has tried to listen to each and every one of you and has noticed that each of us has a compelling story that involves some sort of loss or hardship. Stated what has also become clear is that we each have a shared vision about what we want for our community. Stated we want walkable communities, quality schools, and meaningful relationships with our neighbors whether they live on the same street or a different part of the district. Stated we want good jobs that pay a living wage, we want a variety of small businesses that reinvest in our community, we want diverse housing opportunities for our seniors and our most vulnerable populations and we want mentors and will look to each of you as mentors as he grows and learns in this position if he is so graciously chosen. 2) Cindy Miles stated she has shared a lot about her experience and the things she has learned and the things she has been involved with. Stated she has been married to her husband Mark, 30 years ago today. Stated she believes in family values and thinks that is important to our district. Stated she is the mother of six kids and the grandmother of 16. Stated she is an active member of Bethel Life Center and Assembly of God Church and believes in following God. Stated she believes in practicing leadership and is a community volunteer and committed her life to serving and advocating for people and improving quality of life in our community. Stated she practices leadership skills she has learned through her involvement in Advanced Kansas Leadership Wichita, Leadership Butler Junior League and in the past 10 years being involved with the Kansas Leadership Center. Stated she thinks leadership is important and thinks this district needs good leadership. Stated if she is appointed to this position, she realizes there are projects in the pipeline that she needs to learn about and as much as she would like to hop in and change everything in the next 10 months; knows that she can't do that. Stated she can do what is before her and learn from you what the priorities are and depend on you to guide in what needs to be done to take on the challenges that we have today.  Page 6 CITY COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS MARCH 16, 2021 3) Virgil H. Miller, Jr stated he is disappointed with the results of the voting at the meeting not just because his name was not mentioned but mostly because this Council would not waiver from their individual votes through all five ballots. Stated there is nothing in the ordinance that he saw to prohibit each member from giving a short speech about the candidate they voted for in hopes of convincing another member to change their vote. Stated the DAB has already narrowed the field of candidates to five potential choices and understands that the candidate's interview with each of you may have gone differently and each of you see something that appeals to you in the candidate you voted for; but why were you not able to work together to make a selection. Stated today's meeting could have been the opportunity for the newest member of the City Council to start working for the residents of District 3; in the next week the newest member of the Council could have reviewed the applications for the DAB and filled the two or possibly three vacant positions on that board as well as start on other necessary duties. Stated since there is another round of voting today; asks that you reconsider your vote from two weeks ago and to remember the speeches given by the other candidates and remember that they explained characteristics that they would like to see in the next Council Member. Stated he has lived in this district most of his life and has a demonstrated ability and willingness to listen, learn, act and serve as a servant leader as demonstrated by his participation at his church, 30-year career as a Wichita police officer and numerous memberships and volunteer work. Stated he asks that after your first round of voting, if no selection is made because you voted the same as you did the first five times, that you each reconsider your vote and look for the good in another candidate. Stated don't leave this election of the next Council Member to a chance of a coin flip, show the people of District 3 that they are worth working for and the representative on the Council is not selected but chosen. 4) Joseph Shepard stated last time he had the opportunity to come before you; I told you I believe this role requires sacrifice and for one to hold a servant's heart leading with grit, grace and gratitude. Stated on three separate occasions within the last week the question what skills do you bring that will benefit the Council, District and City. Stated he answered that he is a hard worker, a bridge builder and understands the importance of listening to learn and not to respond. Stated his hard work led him to college where he encountered many challenges as a first generation college student but pushing through the face of adversity led him to the finish line. Stated that same tenacity and work ethic is the same work ethic and tenacity he put into his collegiate years and communities that he served in. Stated though he has only lived in the district close to one year, it is not indicative of his leadership skills. Stated District 3 is looking for leadership that can help create solutions for the problems we are facing from food insecurity to safety insecurity, these are the issues that we can unite on and these are the issues that keep each and every one of us up at night and promises to work on if granted the opportunity to work alongside you and the people of District 3. 5) George Theoharis stated he has worn the suits and bled his heart out to this Council and comes today with his work clothes on because District 3 needs someone ready to start working for its citizens. Stated he is retired and his nurse wife during the pandemic was all in to give District 3 the best one to punch it has ever had and yet couldn’t garner one vote from this partisan Council and is by far the least partisan person of the five candidates. Stated they were asked by the DAB how much time we would spend each month on your duties if you were a Council Member and asked how we would possibly know how long something would take us to do if we have never done the job. Stated in our individual meetings we were asked by four Council Members, what we would do the first 100 days; how would we know? Stated he has 100 pennies for the appointed candidate with the wish for success each of those first 100 days. Vice Mayor Johnson stated his vote is not partisan and has never been partisan. Stated it is totally offensive to say so because he voted for someone of the same party. Stated it is offensive to the individual he voted for and to him as a man because that has never come up. Stated he has been through two  Page 7 CITY COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS MARCH 16, 2021 appointment processes, the first time he had an opportunity to vote for someone in his party and did not. Stated he voted for the person who he thought was best for the job and that Council Member is doing an amazing job. Stated this time he voted for who he thought would represent District 3 the best, the person who has the lived experience that can engage parts of the community that has not been engaged and that could work with parts of the community that had not been worked with and who did not feel that they have been heard or reach out to. Stated someone who had more experience than he did when he ran for office and the same arguments that have been made about that person, whether it is partisanship, experience, or made about me and continues to hear that and it is totally offensive to that person, their work ethic and what they stand for and for what they want to do and serve in the district as well as me. Stated he doesn't care about political party, he cares about service to the community and getting issues resolved and wants to make sure Wichita goes the best direction it can and that we can get out of this pandemic and be more inclusive and have better neighborhood engagement. Stated continued assumptions, assertions whether it is from the media, individuals, or candidates that this is partisan; at least for Brandon Johnson, is totally offensive and is not the case and has voted for the individual that he thinks will do the work, will listen, learn and engage and lay a strong foundation for whomever may come in 2022.

Stated you will be sworn in at the next scheduled meeting, which will be next week.  Page 8 CITY COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS MARCH 16, 2021 Council Member Tuttle asked if it will be next week since that is a consent and workshop meeting. Mayor Whipple stated to the next scheduled regular meeting, April 6th. Council Member Frye asked legal staff if it is possible to do this next week at the consent meeting. Jennifer Magana City Attorney stated yes. Mayor Whipple asked Mr. Cerullo to be at the March 23rd meeting to be sworn in and immediately start representing District 3. Mayor Whipple stated this was a long process and thanked all the candidates who stepped up and put their names on a ballot and put yourself out in public and open yourself up for the microscope that comes with the media and comes with politics.

Mayor Whipple inquired whether anyone wished to be heard. 1) Celeste Racette stated her concern with TIF district financing is that you have done your financial homework and you understand the implications of a 20-year TIF district that can be renewed. Stated the Wichita Business Journal said that proceeds will go towards maintenance and relocation of oil wells as well as cleanup of contamination on the grounds and is hoping you will put that in the MOU, the requirements that you are expecting for the cleanup of contamination. Vice Mayor Johnson stated this is potentially an exciting project in the development of that area and growing up near that area and seeing it transformed from what it was to what it is today and what it could potentially be with this is exciting and could be a big benefit for the City of Wichita.
