Tuttle, Bryan Frye, Jared Cerullo, and Cindy Claycomb.
Staff Members Present: Bob Layton, City Manager, Jennifer Magana, Director of Law, and Karen
Sublett, City Clerk.

Mayor Whipple presented the GFOA Award to finance staff.
I) PUBLIC AGENDA
1.) Paul Tremaine Longar - Theme park in Wichita and Ms. Bond with USD 259. (NO SHOW)
2.) Celeste Racette - Lack of proper City oversight - no internal auditor.
Celeste Racette stated independent oversight is integral to strong democracy. Stated the City of Wichita
would benefit from hiring an internal auditor that reports directly to the City Council. Stated the City of
Wichita had an internal auditor, but in 2019, the City Manager moved the internal auditor into the
Housing Department to help with workload, this created a problem. Stated a staff member cannot
substitute for an internal auditor, an internal auditor is a trained professional tasked with providing
independent and objective evaluations of financial and operational business activities. Stated working as a
staff member in the Housing Department destroys that independence and objectivity. Stated the internal
auditor should also not report to the City Manager, the auditing staff should report to the City Council.
Stated internal auditors must be safe from pressures for report findings, opinions and conclusions without
fear of reprisal. Stated the City Manager should not be able to hire or fire them at will. Stated for the past
Page 2
CITY COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS
OCTOBER 19, 2021
several years, the City has been in direct violation of the stated administrative regulations and policies.
Stated reestablishing an internal auditor corrects that violation. Stated the City of Wichita has total assets
of four billion and 3,700 employees, we have seen public officials resign because of self-dealing and
fraud; I personally found an 18 million dollar error in the 2018 CAFR mistakes are made, that is why by
the City's own administrative regulations and policy, we should have both independent and internal
auditors. Stated someone needs to be looking over the books every day and that person needs to be
independent and objective. Stated it is time we had an internal audit staff that reports directly to the City
Council and produces an annual risk assessment and a three-year audit plan to help you as a City Council
and to benefit Wichita citizens by reestablishing a system of transparency and accountability.
3.) William Stout - City Twitter page and professionalism.
William Stout stated I want to talk to you about three words, policy, law, and professionalism. Stated my
father faithfully served this community for well over 25 years. Stated he passed away October 16, 2020, I
requested to speak to all of you the following week but wasn't even allowed to enter this public building
because of a policy. Stated instead I was sent to Century II and sat in a tiny room with four other people
and was never afforded the opportunity to speak there either; the reason, policy not law. Stated I wanted
to address you last week regarding the issue I'm about to speak to you about but was told policy mandates
that I ask your permission to speak to you at least a week in advance. Stated I found that interesting
because I have read the Constitution and the Kansas Constitution and failed to find a clause that says I
need your permission to address my government. Stated we all know what happened on October 7th, we
had a water main break, we had a boil water advisory, we had mass hysteria at convenient stores and
retail outlets. Stated I sent you all an email, I got some replies and believes some of the panic could have
been lessened if there had been better information disseminated to the public. Stated instead of using local
news, radio and twitter, perhaps a cell phone alert would have reached more people. Stated those who
work in government are paid for with tax dollars, they are public servants and we who pay those taxes
expect professionalism but we didn't get it on October 7th at 7:15 p.m. when the Wichita City twitter page
had a post that reads, "to the numerous people messaging us about being tempted to drink the water just
to see or asking if they can brush their teeth in liquor, beer, wine etc., we have other health concerns about
you." Stated I find it abhorrent that not only did the Mayor retweet this post but he commented wise
words, "public servants have no place for being snarky or condescending to the public especially when
our concerns are caused by government failing to provide adequate or complete information." Stated it is
even more reprehensible that the City of Wichita twitter page liked the comment in the thread that read,
"The condescending nature of the post was necessary and appropriate." Stated who is in charge of this,
where is the professionalism, it is highly likely that some of the people that were commenting, calling or
asking questions actually had legitimate health concerns. Stated since policy seems to be so more
important than law, perhaps we should have a review of the policy regarding what gets posted on the
twitter page. Stated I always cringe when government prefers policy over law and ask that you do better
because we deserve better.
II) CONSENT AGENDA ITEMS 1 THROUGH 15

Mayor Whipple moved to approve consent agenda items 1 through 15 in accordance with the

Attachment: Resolution 21-393
Ben Nelson, Department of Public Works & Utilities, presented the item.
Council Member Frye asked how much we are spending on maintaining lane miles back in 2011.
Bob Layton, City Manager stated I believe it was four million.
Council Member Frye stated and now today we are looking at 11.5 million.
Ben Nelson, Department of Public Works & Utilities stated yes.
Council Member Frye stated on page 6 of the report, one sentence that stuck out to me was we are going
to touch 364 lane miles in 2022, which is more than five times the number touched in 2011. Stated thank
you. Stated road conditions is one thing we all get hit on from our neighbors and continuing to see this
investment; I know we can't touch all 5,100 lane miles every year but to see the drastic improvements that
we have made since 2011, I hope our residents are noticing it and seeing it. Stated taking better care of
our infrastructure is what I believe this Council is committed to and this is just one more example.
Council Member Cerullo stated I had noticed in district 3 there is some recent construction projects have
been done with that new asphalt lay over. Stated is there any indication how long that lasts, does it have a
longer life than more traditional ways.
Ben Nelson, Department of Public Works & Utilities stated yes it does especially traditional the way we
used to do it. Stated it is a lot lower cost in getting that same amount of pavement life as if we did
something like a milling overlay. Stated we have a street inspector who analyses and assess the pavement
conditions once every 18 months on all 5,100 lane miles and one of the things we do every year is we
look to see the performance of each of these treatments overtime and make adjustments to the model
accordingly.
Mayor Whipple stated the map on slide 25 it seems like anything south of Kellogg as far as the amount of
maintenance going into roads is noticeably less than that north of Kellogg particularly in districts 3 and 4
and asked staff to speak to that.
Ben Nelson, Department of Public Works & Utilities stated district 4 in particular is misleading when we
look at a map because so much of it also includes the airport so there isn't going to be any pavement in
there. Stated it can be a little misleading when we look at just the map itself, district 4 is very large in
Page 5
CITY COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS
OCTOBER 19, 2021
terms of land area but not necessarily larger in terms of the proportion of pavement. Stated district 3 has a
lot of micro-surfacing that right at the very northern edge right below Kellogg and is one of the reasons
why we look at this metrics here on slide 22 to make sure we are investing a proportional amount of funds
in each City Council district.
Mayor Whipple stated district 3 has the least amount of paved roads.
Ben Nelson, Department of Public Works & Utilities stated correct.
Mayor Whipple stated if we went five times the number of maintenance over the last decade, is there any
plan to pave some of these areas in districts 3 and 4 that are dirt roads. Stated that keeps home values
down and opportunity down in that area and if had the budget and steadily increasing the maintenance of
roads in other districts, is there any plan to move forward on trying to pave the roads that are in the City
of Wichita.
Ben Nelson, Department of Public Works & Utilities stated this program has not in the past been
designed to pave unpaved streets. Stated when neighborhoods have been built special assessments that are
paid by the homeowners benefiting from the paved roads are the ones who end up paying for it through
special assessments and decades ago when some of these neighborhoods went in, there wasn't a
requirement to pave streets so there were never special assessments and they never got paved. Stated our
engineering division has a process that it works on every year where we help citizens who want to pave
their streets but requires a majority of property owners in those areas but beyond that we don't have a
specific CIP project for it.
Council Member Blubaugh stated I'm looking at the map and gets what you are saying about the airport
but if you look at south Wichita everything on the other side east of Southwest Boulevard, there is not a
lot of improvement going on and asked if that is because there are so many dirt roads. Stated I believe we
have 100 miles of unpaved roads, do we know where the majority of those unpaved roads lie in our City.
Ben Nelson, Department of Public Works & Utilities stated I don't know off hand where most of them are
at but districts 3 and 4 have the majority of them.
Council Member Blubaugh stated if there is not as much pavement preservation because we don't have
the pavement down there.
Ben Nelson, Department of Public Works & Utilities stated yes because you would have a higher portion
of the unpaved roads. Stated the proportional investment compared to the amount of pavement; that has
been ongoing for years. Stated so if we did look over a 5, 8, 10 year time frame we should have an even
proportion of pavement to the investment in each of these OP3 programs.
Council Member Blubaugh asked if we take into consideration the age of the roads.
Ben Nelson, Department of Public Works & Utilities stated yes this is all driven by the age and more
importantly the condition of the roadways and which ones make for good candidates based on the
technical analysis in that decision support tool for the different types of treatments that we have.
Council Member Blubaugh stated but we really don't have any long-term plan to pave this 100 miles of
streets located south of Kellogg so how do we ever change the trend on this.
Page 6
CITY COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS
OCTOBER 19, 2021
Bob Layton City Manager stated we brought an extensive report to the Council previously on options for
unpaved roads and would be more than happy to update that report if you would like. Stated it is an
extensive cost and modification of the process has been used for pavement in the past. Stated if the City
were to participate that would be a significant difference than what we have done in the past.
Council Member Blubaugh stated I think there is an opportunity to have a discussion about it and as we
look at these infill strategies, we could start developing some of this out and get some new properties in
there or renovate some existing properties and get it to where it is not so cost prohibitive for the
neighborhood that wants to do it.
Bob Layton, City Manager stated that would probably be a little more affordable but the Council had a
significant discussion regarding the equity of the City paying for unpaved streets. Stated I am more than
happy for us to update that report and bring it back to you.
Council Member Blubaugh stated it is going to require some out of the box thinking instead of doing it
the way we have continued to do it because we are not getting streets done.
Mayor Whipple stated I agree and that was discussion before my time and I'm willing to hypothesis if you
were to overlay the areas without streets with a level of economic advantages or disadvantages, it would
likely show that a lot of people living there just can't afford to pave their roads and thus we have a circle
here where the poor areas wind up having less paved roads, which means they don't enjoy the same value
increases in their property as other areas do. Stated properties on dirt roads in the core of Wichita are
likely worth less and are more of a health hazard due to the dust and it is more wear and tear on your
vehicle. Stated I think it is an equity issue and would like to have this discussion again as we increase the
CIP and see what our role is ensuring all of Wichita and not just everything north of Kellogg, has the
same qualities and opportunities as the other areas.
Council Member Blubaugh stated as we look through there and we show the total lane miles of paved
roads, I would like to look at that again as total roads. Stated district 4 has a lot more streets than the rest
of the districts, it is just a lot more of them are dirt and I don't think they are showing up on that graph.
Ben Nelson, Department of Public Works & Utilities stated we can include that next year.
Mayor Whipple asked if anyone from the audience wished to speak; no one came forward.
MOTION:
Mayor Whipple moved to approve the 2022 Outsourced Pavement Preservation Program, adopt the

OCTOBER 19, 2021
Council Member Blubaugh stated I am very excited about this and appreciates all the work that has been
done on this. Stated I don't know of any place that we have to play pickleball tournaments so it is exciting
to know that we bring a lot of people here to the City and I'm looking forward to seeing this. Stated the
pickleball community has a lot of interest and excitement in this.

4.) L.W. CLAPP PARK MASTER PLAN. (DISTRICT III)
Attachment: Agenda Report No. VI-4.docx
Troy Houtman, Director of Park & Recreation, presented the item.
P.J. Novick with Confluence Design Team reviewed the master plan and opportunities we can do with
the funding that is provided in 2023-2024.
Vice Mayor Johnson stated the agenda report says a splash pad as funding allows and after going through
the Aquatics Plan discussion, splash pad to me is not the same as a water playground; will this be on par
with the other six water playgrounds we have or will it be just a few fountains.
P.J. Novick, Confluence stated I would say on size wise it would be because we visited those, we are
proposing taking a different turn so there is more natural materials. Stated there could be rocks and water
coming out of rocks and maybe sprinkling down and a runnel that runs through there so the kids can sit in
there. Stated it is more interactive and more creative and also something that when the water is not
running, it still has some play value for those other eight months out of the year.

Troy Houtman, Director of Park & Recreation finished his presentation.
Mayor Whipple asked if anyone from the audience wished to speak; no one came forward.
Council Member Cerullo stated I am very excited about this master plan, my constituents and I want to
make sure that Clapp Park remains a viable and beautiful park and amenity and wants to assure everyone
that this is just a guide that we will use to help us in the future development of the park and things could
change over the next few years, it's not going to take place overnight, it will be many years in the making
but I look forward to this master plan helping Clapp Park turn into a beautiful amenity that we can all love
and enjoy for many years.
MOTION:

Attachment: Audit Contract.pdf
Mark Manning, Director of Finance, presented the item.
Council Member Frye stated you said it is a five year, one year renewals, will those renewals come to the
Council for a vote each year or will that be a staff decision.
Mark Manning, Director of Finance stated typically we provide notification every time we renew a
contract but I don't know if we specifically bring those on new business.
Bob Layton, City Manager stated that is my recollection of how we worked audit contracts in the past,
however, in the past there has been at least twice where I think we went past the five years and we asked
Council for authorization to do that.
Page 9
CITY COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS
OCTOBER 19, 2021
Council Member Frye stated I know this is not an easy process changing audit firms and it takes time to
get things going. Stated I just would hope for some kind of a checkpoint for the Council to know that you
all are comfortable with the process and the changeover rather than just an automatic review. Stated
maybe that is just done with the Manager and updates to us.
Mark Manning, Director of Finance stated when we have renewals they are not automatic, the intention is
that we will have a long-term relationship and we know noted the advantages of that but you are exactly
right, annual renewals are not necessarily automatic, we do that typically at the staff level but don't see
any reason why we wouldn't expand that taking on a contract like this.
Mayor Whipple asked if anyone from the audience wished to speak; no one came forward.
MOTION:
Mayor Whipple moved to approve the contract and authorize the necessary signatures.
Motion carried 7 to 0.

KaLyn Nethercott presented the following cases:
a) 1215 N. Piatt
KaLyn Nethercott MABCD asked if the citizen who owns this property is here. Stated we made
arrangements for a translator to be in place if he is here; no one from the public came forward.
Mayor Whipple asked staff to ask in Spanish if anyone is here for this property, no one came forward.
Vice Mayor Johnson stated I drove by, didn't look inside, it looks pretty bad and being that the taxes are
current, asked staff if she heard any plans on fixing this up or tearing it down on their own.
KaLyn Nethercott, MABCD stated I did not. Stated the conversation we had with him from our office on
Friday was simply about the logistics for this hearing and not specifically about what his intent was.
Vice Mayor Johnson stated to me it looks like a neighborhood danger, I'm glad he was in contact with
you all. Stated if we went through with approving the demolition of this, would somebody reach out to
him and see if there are any plans that he has for the property or let him know that he can still keep the
property even though the house is going away.
KaLyn Nethercott, MABCD stated yes we can do that, we will notify him of Council's decision and he
will receive some additional written correspondence as well.

to start demolition and 10 days to complete removal of the structures.
Motion carried 7 to 0.
b) 1352 N. Terrace Dr.
Cory Adams, stated I am the property owner.
Vice Mayor stated do you have any plans for bringing this property up to code and how long do you think
that would take.
Cory Adams stated I do and currently I am working a couple of jobs. Stated I do home remodeling, this is
one of the properties I purchased for myself as my primary residence. Stated I didn't know a lot of this
stuff was going on with the property, it was a family property and as I moved back from out of town I
acquired it and purchased it but didn't know all of this stuff was going on but I do have plans to get it back
together. Stated the inside of the property is pretty decent and a strong structured house, it is just the
outside wasn't attended to but is easy work for me to get back together and would say about six to eight
months to get it looking nice at least on the outside.
Vice Mayor Johnson stated you have on this property delinquent taxes of $639.41 and a special
assessment of $926.46; what would be a time frame you think you would be able to pay that.
Cody Adams stated the delinquent taxes would be on me, it's the first time hearing about the special
assessment and if I could get 60 days to pay that fully off.
Vice Mayor Johnson stated with the property owner being here, asked staff if she would feel comfortable
going forward with communications him and giving him a potential extension on this.
KaLyn Nethercott, MABCD stated yes.
Vice Mayor Johnson stated he said six to eight months.
KaLyn Nethercott, MABCD stated I would think some significant progress can be made in the first 90
days with a check in. Stated we should be able to communicate with him and attain interior inspections
and engineering reports that might be necessary on this; whatever Council is comfortable with.
Vice Mayor Johnson stated holiday season is coming up so maybe four months. Stated I like the idea of a
check in. Stated you mentioned taxes and special assessments, you said 60 days.
Cory Adams stated I can do taxes and asked what the amount of the special assessment is.
KaLyn Nethercott, MABCD stated $926.46
Cory Adams stated I can't in full, how much would you want.
Vice Mayor Johnson stated I tend to prefer that everything be paid off going forward.
Page 11
CITY COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS
OCTOBER 19, 2021
Cory Adams stated okay, will 90 days will work.
Vice Mayor Johnson asked legal staff if he would still declare this dangerous and unsafe if we are giving
an extension.
Jennifer Magana, City Attorney stated you could do that and then stave the enforcement or make a motion
to allow staff to work with the owner.
MOTION:
Vice Mayor Johnson moved to grant an extension of time to repair the structure and that it be contingent
upon all taxes and special assessments being made up to date as of January 19, 2022. That the structure
has been secured as of October 19, 2021 and will continue to be kept secured and that the premises are
mowed and free of debris as of October 19, 2021 and will be so maintained during the renovation.
Motion carried 6 to 1 (Nay: Cerullo).
c) 1452 N. Lorraine Ave
Vice Mayor Johnson asked staff if she has had any contact with the property owner.
KaLyn Nethercott, MABCD stated none.
MOTION:
Vice Mayor Johnson moved to close the public hearing, declare the building to be a dangerous and
unsafe structure and accept the BBCSA recommended actions to proceed with condemnation allowing 10
days to start demolition and 10 days to complete removal of any structures.

d) 421 E. 57th S.
KaLyn Nethercott, MABCD stated we started with a dilapidated manufactured home and this is what it
looks like now. Stated this property has been removed by the owner, there is a bit of remaining debris and
backfill work to do but will handle that internally as a nuisance case and as a close out for the
wrecking permit so there is no need for additional action from Council at this time.
Council Member Frye asked if the taxes and assessments paid as well.
KaLyn Nethercott, MABCD stated most likely not because this was removed by owner so there wouldn't
have been any requirement for them to do that in order to remove it.
Council Member Frye stated so that stays outstanding debt.
KaLyn Nethercott, MABCD stated it does.
e) 2445 S. Ida Ave
KaLyn Nethercott, MABCD stated the primary structure has burned once, the accessory structures, one of
them burned also. Stated we have had the owners engaged on this and I'm pleased to report while it is not
perfect, this is what the site looks like today. Stated we have some additional work with moving the
debris from the demolition and the remaining outbuildings, which will prevent future problems on this

area. Stated it was resolved by the owner and we will continue to work with him and provide whatever
support we can in helping them get that finished up. Stated there is no need for Council action.
Council Member Frye asked if the taxes and assessments are still outstanding.
KaLyn Nethercott, MABCD stated yes they are.
