I) PUBLIC AGENDA
1.) Sybil Strum - COVID vaccines and Wichita Pride Festival.
Sybil Strum stated I do not want to take the COVID vaccine and thinks it is the individual's deal to take it
or not take it. Stated I feel the COVID vaccine has had defects and now you have to get a booster shot.
Stated I do wear a mask in public and wash my hands; don't let the vaccine take over. Stated you shouldn't
have had the Wichita Pride Festival. Stated you let them take over, they had so many people at their
march and some didn't even wear a mask. Stated the people that are military, National Guard, active duty
and veterans should get the credit, you did not give them a parade.
Vice Mayor Johnson stated just for those watching because the vaccine was mentioned; all vaccines have
some particular risk and that shouldn't worry you on that respect, the vaccine is safe and the third booster
shot is for those who are moderately to severely immunocompromised. Stated those who heard that and
might be worried, please do some additional research and check out information on the vaccine and talk
to you medical provider about it.
2.) Noah Blanco - Non-discrimination ordinance.
Noah Blanco stated I am checking in where we are at with the non-discrimination ordinance (NDO).
Stated the W Young Professionals have been hosting meetings, which most of you have attended where
you told us a little more about where you are heading. Stated I am very pleased and got to speak to

SEPTEMBER 7, 2021
Council Members Cerullo and Claycomb last week to see where they are at. Stated my concern is that this
whole thing was put on hold by Council Member Tuttle and everyone else followed that up in order to
make the NDO better. Stated what I am not seeing is the definition of making the NDO better has become
how we can make sure to appease the most radical voices against it and not get sued. Stated I don't know
if it is being orchestrated with the intention of truly making it better, when I hear better, I go in and
examine how I can actually make it better for everyone and not how I can do just this one specific thing
because one voice is dominating the argument and turning it into purely a gay rights issue when this is
something that can literally help everybody. Stated in other municipalities it is being used to help enforce
ADA laws, to broaden the base of vouchers that housing has to accept to include more options, and that
includes the VASH vouchers for the military and the Section 8 vouchers for individual people. Stated
they are also using it to protect families such as the City of Phoenix. Stated we need to think about how
we are going to treat everyone fairly and how to improve economic standings for multiple people and to
change the rhetoric. Stated rhetoric change does not happen just through grassroots movements. Stated
when a council frames something with the rhetoric of improving but then does only look to protect this
one specific thing, that brings into question that maybe we desperately need this just so that we can start
changing the language and changing the rhetoric of the way we frame discrimination and how we think
about each other so that we are no longer allowing hate speech that has negative and violent implications.
Stated I think there is definitely legal grounds that inciting violence towards people because you have a
belief that tells you, even though it is a false belief, we all had to sit here and listen for 10 hours of people
saying things along the lines of these transgender people are going to influence my child and make them
all transgender. Stated this are issues we need to talk about and would like to inquire, urge to be
considering that with this KCL thing because that was a shock to me too that it got kicked to another
department after the inclusion board got thrown under the bus for it. Stated I would like some feedback on
what are all your individual ideas and where are we improving this and how are we making sure that it
maintains potency. Stated Council Member Tuttle brought up the funding issue at her DAB meeting.
Stated that is something that a lot of people are concerned about because that is a class issue. Stated most
people don't pursue actions against employers because they don't want to suffer economic or personal
repercussions of that word getting around and then you are un-hirable or that draining you financially.

V) UNFINISHED COUNCIL BUSINESS
1.) ORDINANCE CREATING SUSTAINABILITY INTEGRATION BOARD. (DEFERRED
AUGUST 17, 2021)
Attachment: Agenda Report No. V-1.docx
Attachment: Delineated Ordinance
Attachment: Ordinance 51-626
Penny Feist, Department of Public Works & Utilities, presented the item.
Mayor Whipple asked if anyone from the public wished to speak.
1) Elizabeth Carson stated I affiliated with SOAR, the Society of Alternative Resources, which is a group
organized to address local and environmental issues here in Wichita. Stated we were beyond pleased to
see the City ordinance for Wichita's Sustainability Board and believes the City can accomplish much
needed steps for increased livability and wellbeing for all its citizens by looking at issues through the lens
of sustainability. Stated I couldn't be happier to see this ordinance come before the Council. Stated
economic development is important to Wichita but with the addition of this sustainability board, Wichita
moved to sustainable development focused on environmental care as well as economic progress. Stated
one thing I love about living in Wichita is the City's park system. Stated no matter where I've lived, I'm
not far from a City park and thrive with the trees, grass, ducks, geese and egrets that populate our local
lakes. Stated as the natural environment blooms and thrives, I thrive also. Stated the skies are my lungs,
the stars my canopy, and we must give that natural environment that's due. Stated I love the great river
that flows through the heart of this City and shapes its future as well as burying its past. Stated we are
surrounded by natural treasures that demand our attention and care and with this Sustainability Board, I
hope to see Wichita engage its citizens in shaping a future for the City that generates sustainable growth
that protects and treasures our natural environment and makes this City one that I am proud to call home.
2) Tabitha Lehman, 3254 S. Custer stated as a private citizen now, would like to thank each of you for
your sacrifice as you run for office and serve in these roles that are not easy and often times thankless.
Stated I am here to speak as the Advocacy Chair for the Metro League of Women Voters and that we
appreciate you considering this sustainability board and that we fully support the board and we are happy
to see this coming up and this is on a list of things that are our priority for us this year and wants to let
you know that the League supports this.
3) Kent Rowe 3353 N. 159th East, stated I am here on behalf of the Campus Greens, Faculty Green
Group, Sierra Club, the Society of Alternate Resources, Mom's Clean Air Force and is here to endorse the
ordinance. Stated most definitions of sustainability include a three-tiered tri-partake system of
environment, economy, and society. Stated governmental policy following sustainable best practices will
ideally encompass all three simultaneously with inclusion for all. Stated presently 2,500 local and
regional authorities across the USA, have created sustainability advisory boards. Stated the International
Page 5
CITY COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS
SEPTEMBER 7, 2021
Counsel for Local Environmental Initiatives has since 2010, helped with design tools for emissions
management, adaptation planning, greenhouse gas contribution analysis and tree and forest grassland
emissions. Stated five pathways approach balances of human built and natural environments to
accomplish low carbon emissions, resiliency, equitable and people centered goals, nature based and a
circular economy. Stated protocols supporting local initiatives are at hand, it is good government and
good democracy, please vote yes on Ordinance 51-625.
4) Jennifer Connolly 3353 N. 159th East, stated I applaud all of my environmental friends who work so
hard. Stated we have some very intelligent people in our workforce and would like to see that expanded
and would like to see the City support those people. Stated we have a lot of different things coming up,
we have managers that we are going to need to talk about building, we will need technical engineers,
building operators, construction people and people that work with improving our buildings. Stated we
use 35% of our electricity with commercial buildings alone, we use 27% for industrial and 37% for
residential; imagine the opportunities that we can address and the money that can be saved for our City by
moving this kind of program forward. Stated currently in this country, 33% is wasted on commercial
buildings, just think if we had the people to work and their talent, on what we could save for the City in
the money alone and for our environment. Stated I hope you all vote yes.
5) Carla Jackson-Patton stated I am the founder of the Black and Green Renaissance and my passion is
sustainability. Stated I have been doing research on the opportunity zones, particularly the Dunbar one.
Stated I have been doing research on opportunity zones in other cities and states, there has been
sustainable building in those zones particularly with solar power energy, which is my passion. Stated the
environmental impact of the people in District I at the 67214 zip code area is also her passion and is
happy that the Council is considering this and asking you to vote yes on this proposal.
6) Mike McCorkle thanked the Council for allowing public input on this revised ordinance. Stated words
matter and more revisions need to be considered. Stated this issue is too important to our children and
grandchildren not to get it right at the beginning. Stated the City of Wichita is moving in the right
direction, although with poor transparency and managerial reluctance to acknowledge this seriousness of
global climate change and its likely impact on our local economy and quality of life, please read the latest
United Nations Governmental Report on climate change. Stated it is horrifying how it depicts the future.
Stated the City's 99th ranking among the 100 largest US cities reflects past thinking and all Wichitans
deserve better. Stated while the revised ordinance is a positive step in the right direction, the membership
and meeting sections contradict the intent and purpose of this essential ordinance and do not serve those
most vulnerable citizens it should protect. Stated the revised ordinance includes climate resiliency and
planning and when you look around the US at other cities impacted by extreme weather made worst by
climate change, the need for climate resiliency planning for our community should be an urgent priority.
Stated research has shown that minority and marginalized communities are most affected by extreme
weather and climate change and all Wichitans need local resiliency plans sooner and not years later.
Stated the Wichita Sustainability Integration board meeting plan should be monthly, not quarterly, and
not optional because of the urgency for Wichita to put into place actual plans to protect its citizens and
prosperity. Stated the membership plan should be streamlined to be responsive and inclusive of Wichita's
diversity and able to achieve consensus quickly, not an unwieldly even membership with half already
involved with other City boards. Stated integration is an important issue and by the nature of climate
change, all boards and committees of any kind would be consulted and shared data with. Stated 11 is the
universally accepted board size because it represents the ideal balance between the need for representation
and the inefficiencies of large groups. Stated almost all Wichita board memberships consist of 11 or fewer
members. Stated we were told last month by the City Manager that the EFC looked at several models and
recommended this model with this membership plan. Stated the proposed membership and meeting plans
Page 6
CITY COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS
SEPTEMBER 7, 2021
are designed to delay action and not to protect Wichita citizens and economy. Stated I urge this selected
body to delay this vote until the membership and meeting sections can be fully reviewed and revised in a
transparent manner to represent the best interest of all Wichita citizens.
7) Jane Brynes thanked the Council for this revised ordinance to establish a sustainability board. Stated as
climate change is creating extreme fires, storms, droughts and floods, Wichita still has a good chance of
addressing the climate emergency with clarity and vigor in a strong Wichita way. Stated I have two
concerns with this current sustainability ordinance, one is membership, and 14 members is a large board
size and is an even number, which complicates any groups voting. Stated other Wichita board are 11 folks
or smaller. Stated and also because seven of the proposed 14 member slots would require doubling up
time from existing boards; I assume you will get mostly retirees or upper income folks to apply. Stated
more representative younger people, students and other adults with children and jobs do not have
sufficient discretionary time to dedicate to two important City boards. Stated how about picking four of
the seven boards listed currently and who does the picking, City staff or elects. Stated my second concern
is the EFC which seems to have such great priority, with the single-use plastic bag task force, it has been
excruciating slow while Wichita waits. Stated with the Single Use Plastic Bag Task Force, the EFC data
appears careful but barely relevant, their very good litter study has little relevance with the serious decay
and quantiles of single use plastic bags and Wichita water waste. Stated Wichita waits on the EFC even as
it insists on oddities such as a board with 14 members and requiring seven of those members to serve on
two boards, which pretty much excludes younger, busier, and less privileged folks. Stated I ask that you
all finish establishing a future looking, meaningful, vigorous, sustainability board by voting for this
ordinance, once the ordinance is in place, please move forward swiftly and efficiently to form the board
insuring a representative variety of bright, informed, motivated, Wichitans so it can begin its work this
very year.
8) Tom Scott stated in my job as a minister I traveled a lot around the county and in the world as far as
living. Stated we have an opportunity now to make Wichita proud and maybe become leaders of the
country but we have to start. Stated every time we delay the end result is, nothing is done. Stated a lot of
talk, volumes of minutes, but nothing is done. Stated it would be easy to say you can put 14 people in a
room and they would fulfill their obligation but we all have other obligations but please remember if you
don't start it, you won't get it done. Stated you can keep kicking it back, I'm sure we could do a better job
but that makes that much more pollution and other problems with the sustainability of our core
environment and urge the Council to vote on it.
Council Member Cerullo stated I agree that we need to move forward on this today but I do have some
concerns that this board is too big and that it is an even number, which presents a potential for conflict
and not coming to a resolution to whatever they are voting on. Stated I also agree that this board should
meet monthly, if we are talking about creating this board that is very important to our community, thinks
they should meet more than four times a year. Stated there is nothing in this ordinance that allows this
board to change their own rules; is that correct?
Bob Layton, City Manager stated that is not correct, for instance, we put a minimum of meeting quarterly,
they could meet monthly or every two weeks, they are allowed to do that. Stated most of our boards and
commissions when first formed also come up with either a set of procedures or bylaws depending on what
the body is. Stated they do have a lot of freedom and that was one of the things we were concerned about,
tying the hands of this group too much but did think some good comments came forward regarding the
purpose of the group so we embellished on what was originally provided to you and thinks it is better
defined.

SEPTEMBER 7, 2021
Council Member Cerullo stated this board will create its own bylaws.
Bob Layton, City Manager stated bylaws or procedures, it depends on how they approach it.
Council Member Cerullo stated I think we need to move forward on this today.
Mayor Whipple thanked the community for coming out and for pressing this issue and ensuring we saw it
through with this, a first step with the board. Stated we appreciate more feedback as it is put in place and
knows there are some concerns with not only the membership now and maybe with the amount of
meetings or maybe some of the goals set forward. Stated we will look towards those folks in the
community to come forward with tweaks that may need to be made or changes that we may need to make
in order to get the most effective product in the end. Stated I would like to thank staff for their work on
this.

Council Member Frye stated I know we have some of our firefighters down in Louisiana helping with
Hurricane Ida and asked if there is any opportunity to help some of those communities who could use a
reserve or piece of equipment. Stated hopefully we could check that out before we determine that Purple
Wave is our ultimate option.

Attachment: Agenda Report No. VI-4.doc
Attachment: Resolution 21-322
Attachment: NOI 21-322
Gary Janzen, Department of Engineering, presented the item.
Council Member Frye stated you explained that you have a calendar of first come, first serve to 2023 and
even into 2024 that they basically have to wait in line because of the funding. Stated are there any projects
that aren't even on the table because they know that time line is so far out; what is the recourse if someone
wanted to do something quicker but because of the funding calendar that we have, they can't do anything.
Gary Janzen, Department of Engineering stated it is possible but is not aware right now based on our
communication with the development community who we try and stay in close contact with about this.
Council Member Cerullo asked if it is correct to say that anybody who buys a property where these future
mains are placed, they will pay their share of the total costs of installing that sewer main.
Gary Janzen, Department of Engineering stated it is in general. Stated there are some properties within the
core of the City that were in the 1970's city limits that are exempt from paying this fee but that is only a
few properties. Stated with all new development, eventually all properties will pay this main benefit fee
that proposes to replace half the costs of the extension of these mains.

II) CONSENT HOUSING AGENDA ITEMS
17.) Family Self-Sufficiency Program Grant Application.
Attachment: Agenda Report No. II-17.docx
Sally Stang, Director of Housing and Community Services stated the PHA Housing Board has a
requirement to have a resident commissioner serve on the board with equal voice. Stated this requirement
has been staid through the COVID-19 pandemic following the resignation of Mr. Marlowe who was our
previous resident commissioner for the PHA board. Stated we started that process up again in early 2021
to seek out a resident commissioner to serve as a representative on the board and we have here today Toni
Lewis who is enthusiastic about joining the board.
Toni Lewis, PHA residential commissioner stated I am very honored to be here and what you all have
been doing for the Housing Authority, the residents and community is awesome and the programs that
were brought to my attention are very exciting and thinks it is going to make for a bright future for the
Housing Department.
MOTION:
Mayor Whipple moved to authorize the application in the amount of $310,254 to cover three Family Self
Sufficiency (FSS) Program Coordinator positions; approve the grant award upon receipt; and execute the
necessary signatures.
Motion carried 8 to 0.
