simple issue with the vendor we we'll be all right page four uh number one would  amend the crown uptown Uptown Theater PUD   uh you have valid uh protest petitions so  this would require six votes for approval   it's all I have on page four nothing on page  five on page 63a would approve a one-year loan   agreement for the sculpture that's located uh  at the deleno uh entrance to the Equity Bank   Stadium for a remind us which artwork that  is again or what's the it's a sculpture um   a metallic sculpture uh that is on a pedestal  that was constructed as part of the stadium the   original concept was to have art or sculpture  rotated uh periodically uh on that uh at that   location may turn out that it will be a  permanent uh structure the loan payments   that we have made over the last few years will  actually be credited to us if we decide to buy it can I ask one more question um so for  this piece of artwork how much would it   take to maintain it so how much has it already  cost us to maintain just so that we have that   budgeted in right um I don't know that there's  been any maintenance expense it it will and   it would be incorporated into our um uh public  art maintenance budget um normally it's just a   matter of making sure that our curator watches  it closely to make sure there isn't any deter deterioration 4A would approve a change order  for uh storm sewer replacement at the Brewer   Center parking lot I have a question on that  yes replacement is I I can't remember the   numbers 80 some thousand but they're asking for  authorization for a lot more than that so the I   can sorry can help us so what we took this is  part of the ordinance for approval of change   orders on projects the the this is the author  second part of that is the authorization for   if there's any future change orders so so  the change order itself is the 880,000 the   second part of that uh we typically do on our  larger projects we ask Council for Authority   because of where we've gotten to the ordinance  says anytime we exceed $50,000 on a project   every single change order after that has to come  to the council for approval the second part of   that is the authorization saying we've already  exceeded that we've got this much of the project   left we would like authorization to to change that  limit in case it give you an example if we have   something come up that's a $5,000 change order we  don't feel like that's probably worth your time   to have to see that that would allow us to have  staff approval at the manager's level and not have   to bring that back to council hopefully that made  sense uh vice mayor it's pretty common uh you'll   these we've got this approval of uh increase  in the change order cap in a number of projects   otherwise as Gary said you're going to slow the  project down significantly it does not change   the project budget so we can't exceed what you  what the council's already approved for project   budget if we were ever to get to that point and  we needed additional funds that would come back   to the council okay okay okay thank you may I  ask a couple more questions regarding this item   so the entire project that includes the building  itself the new building and Renovations as well   as the parking will now cost at maximum 1.1  million is that correct the well no the and that   I think that and I don't know what number you're  referencing there sorry I didn't have that with me   the overall project cost is around $10 million  what are the other additional expenses then if   it's on our sheet it's 9. 1 million once if this  gets approved how does it get to 10 million well I   was I was thinking of the original budget that 9.1  million is the project cost I was going back in   my mind in time when the original overall budget  was approved I that was an anotal memory of $10   million that 9.1 million is the project cost now  with this change order added in total project cost   total project costs yes that includes the public  art that is inside the building is that correct um I'd have to look and see if that  because the public art numbers are   typically set aside in the CIP I'd have to  look and see if that was included but I can   let you know okay just just to be clear if  I understand this correctly uh the original   construction amount is 9, 27,000 some uh  the cost of the proposed change order is can amount to 9,132 51 correct  so it increases that correct   so if we approve the the additional up to $361,000 that's going to increase it by another  $300,000 only if we actually have change orders   that number that you're referencing at 300,000  that's just changing the threshold limit for   staff off off staff authorization it's just  changing the limit anything though but but it   would increase the overall budget of the project  only if we no it increases the contract amount   not the overall just the contract not the project  budget yeah thank you so maybe I'd like to have   those two different numbers then the overall  budget then our fault we normally put that budget time Council approve July 183 yeah we  should have had that in there for contract amount   and budget amount we can make sure we get that  let us know okay thank you okay I appreciate it   if that can be sent to All council members that   would be helpful what was it  July 18th 2023 yes July 18th okay that's all I have on page six  actually I believe that's all I have I also have excuse me I also have a  preview for the February 11th council meeting we were asking the council to approve the  application for the 2025 Community Services   block grant program that's approximately  $1.1 million I believe in csbg funds is   that the same as last year it's close to yes  the um second item on new business would be   the approval of a contract with lexip pole this  is a service that actually assists the police   department Department in identifying best  practices as they develop their policies um   ongoing uh operational policies also assist the  city or the police department with its training initiatives uh they finally there there's a piece  of that and we get into this next week there's   a piece of it that will allow the department  can start work on accreditation which I think   is extremely important as well number three  would approve uh some additional equipment   uh to coordinate uh efforts in the uh  uh realtime information center is that   um Grant funded as well or is that coming  out I believe a majority of it is Grant funded yeah the RTI agreement is Grant funded  uh and was bid through an RFP process okay thank you also asking for approval to apply for Grant uh   to imp address drainage issues in the  Murdoch corridor from Broadway to L Lorraine and then really back at the end  um page seven of the preliminary draft   uh asking for approval to apply for Kansas  Arts commission grants for cow toown and city arts on that page I actually am very interested  um given conversations regarding sidewalks I   see that number 10 says sidewalk repair  Assessment program um if in that report   can we find out how much uh of the budget  was spent on sidewalk repair so city of   Witchita responsible sidewalk repairs yeah  uh in 2024 2023 just to give us an idea I'm   going to again these are improvements made on  behalf of property owners that did not make   repairs and so we go in and make the repairs  and assess them back is that right assessments Paul yes that is correct however there might  be a few like ramps and intersections that we   would pick up so we'll through a separate  item in the budget right but they would   not be included as part of the assessment would  they yeah correct yeah one of our most popular   programs I hear maybe just a side then we could  we could give we put as side annually for side repairs okay and then we had one item  I was going to highlight at the end on   Airport number 18 is a lease agreement  for farming property around Jabara   we solicit proposals um periodically  for the use of that land mayor that's   all I have now I do believe we have  Marley with us as well thank you hi Marley hello everyone um thoughts and prayers are  with everyone in the city um with the accelerated   schedule um at
