I pledge algiance to the flag of the United  States of America and to the republic for which   it stands. One nation under God, indivisible,  with liberty and justice for all. City Manager   Leighton. Thank you, mayor. Um, October 21st is  a full agenda. Start off with three proclamations   and three award and recognitions. Uh,  second page, uh, new business. Uh,   item number one would approve a project to  purchase replacement police equipment in 2026.   Next page number two would approve a project  to purchase a critical incident vehicle,   bomb unit vehicle, mobile command vehicle,  and mobile operations vehicles. Number three,   you would approve a letter of intent for an IRB  issue to remodel an 88,000 foot office building.   Number four would approve a letter of intent for  the issuance of healthc care facilities revenue   bonds in an amount not to exceed $60 million.  Number five would approve the issuance of   revenue bonds to fund up to $60 million in capital  improvements for Ascension Via Christie Hospitals.   Number six would approve an amendment to the  development agreement with EPC for the development   on the West Bank of York, Kansas. Number  seven would approve contracts for competency   evaluations for municipal court. Next page number  eight would approve the reduction in the number   of members on the animal services advisory board.  This had been reviewed by the board. Number nine,   just I'll take a second on this one. There are  actually three actions that you'll be taking. The   first one has multiple pieces to it, but you would  take it as a single action. Consider the adoption   of the International Property Maintenance  Code, elimination of environmental court,   and a new adjudication process for  the for property maintenance cases.   Second action would be the adoption of a source  of income discrimination ordinance. Excuse me.   And the third would be the adoption of a limited  rental registration ordinance. Sharon, did I get   that right? Yes, I believe so. Okay. Would those  be bifurcated into three independent votes or Yes. Number 10 would approve a project to  remodel a I'm going to go back to that   really quick. On number two action, it  does talk about the non-discrimination   ordinance. Why was that not added to the  NDO back in the day then? It just never   came up that there wasn't discussion of that  that I can recall. So, this is a completely   new idea. This is a new idea that would be an  amendment to the non-discrimination ordinance.   It's not a new idea. It's a problem  that we've had for some time. Um,   while we were focusing on the NDO, this was being  talked about in Lawrence where it was adopted. Um,   our focus was a little different at the time.  Once Lawrence adopted it, um, saw that it was um,   good. Then we talked about potentially adding that  to ours. How do you police that? Sorry. How do you   how do you police that specific? That's probably  a better discussion for the council meeting.   I'd have to have I mean staff that has been  involved in this project could talk about that in preparation for it. since uh council member  Johnson mentioned Lawrence uh we should have some   feedback or some data from their implementation of  it. I also had heard um action number three which   is the rental registration for basically landlords  who have been violators. Um have there been other   cities that have done something similar? If so,  what's the data um behind that? In other words,   has that helped with providing uh safe  housing in their communities or has it   created an additional barrier that then now  they have even more um need for housing? Then one data point question I would be interested   into are there any landlord protections  as well in either three of these actions? I think also looking at especially landlord  protection, state statutes actually give   landlords quite a bit of protection. These items  allow people uh just more opportunity to have   quality housing. Um when you look at the state  statutes, and I don't have those here with me,   but I can send those to you to look at that. But a  lot of the problems that we've seen with residents   is landlords just have so much ability. I mean,  if a tenant were to have an issue and they go   to court right now and uh they're at work, so a  lot of these folks are working and they want to   move it from a Wednesday at 9:30 to maybe a Monday  and they want to do it and the landlord does not.   The landlord has the power to say no, they can't  even change a court date without the landlord. So,   this isn't going to harm landlords in that way.  It does give the tenants again more opportunity   to get that quality housing that they need.  Whether it's the discrimination piece from   some of the landlords who say because you have  a housing choice voucher, you're a bad person   and they don't want to rent to you. This would  allow them to be able to prove that to us that   that is happening. Give them some justice in  that sense. When you look at the registry,   it's more than just registering. Often times  with out of state property owners, we don't even   know who to contact. There's another story where  you could see when you looked at Emory Gardens,   I think it was Emery Gardens, you had to go  through 12 different shell companies to figure   out who was even the property manager there.  This allows us to have somebody to directly   deal with oneonone. So, it's less about penalizing  that person and allowing us to actually address   concerns and it gives citizens confidence that  we can actually contact these property owners.   I think there'll probably be plenty of points of  conversation and disagreement on Tuesday. Also,   while we're on it, since this is item nine and  Arthur Stokes continues to come and he's actually   wanting to speak on this item, could we make  this item number one? It's council prerogative. I'm okay with that. Then we can break  for lunch. Maybe dinner. Maybe dinner. Okay, we'll do that. Okay. Excuse me. Number 10 would approve a project  to remodel a portion of the former central   library to serve as a an excuse me as an event  venue. Um number 11 has been continued until the   um November 6th meeting. Number 12 would approve  two agreements with Union Pacific Railroad for   groundwater treatment operations in the 29th and  Grove Environmental Remediation Area. Number 13   would approve the 2026 funding allocations  for arts and cultural organizations. The   bottom of that page, non-conent housing  agenda number one is a monthly report on   public housing authority activity. Next page,  council member travel uh was approved retro   retroactive travel for the mayor that will  actually occur on Monday. The next page,   just quick note on that. I'm just  speaking and coming back. So,   it's literally a in and out of this city. Um I'm  speaking with mayor of Tulsa at this conference. On the next page, uh 3A would excuse me, extend  an existing lease agreement with Flicks Bus   and Greyhound until the hub is open. At that  time, we'll have a new agreement. Next page,   number seven, uh would approve a revised  budget for patrol the Patrol West project.   Number eight would approve a budget for phase  one of the Crystal Prairie Lake Park project.   Going back to the patrol west. Yes. Can  you explain why there is a change? Yes,   that actually there are multiple reasons for  that. Gary, do you want to speak to that or I can uh sorry, Mayor, Council Member Gary Jansen. So we there  were quite a few things that happened with this   project starting back last summer when the design  contract was first approved. Um that was the the   schedule was set based on ARPA funds needing  to be encumbered by the end of the year. So it   was a very fasttrack design contract so that we  could get to a point of bidding construction by   the end of the year. Sometime around October,  the ARPA funds were removed from the project,   which allowed more time uh to be able to make sure  we're getting the facility that we wanted. Um,   keep in mind around October of last year was when  the East Police substation was occupied. That   gave everybody time to see what was working, what  wasn't. uh allowed us some some flexibility to go   past December to really make sure that this new  police substation would reflect the needs of BD,   especially what they've seen at the east sub. Also  baked into that, there was a desire to look for   uh room for equipment storage on site uh at this  new west sub location. And that took some time to   really vet through looking at different sizes. Uh  a lot of different parts and pieces of that took   some time to evaluate. Ultimately the decision was  made that it couldn't fit. Um but that took some   time while we were at it. So there was multiple  iterations of that design for the storage building   trying to make the size work. It didn't work real  well. We we chose to take some more time again to   invest in design to reflect what was seen from the  east sub. So then what also happened during that   time frame uh the new international building code  went into effect January 1st. So that was we had   been on the 2018 IBC the 2024 IBC went into effect  January 1st uh which everything going forward is   going to be under that building code. So that  forced us to take a look uh with the architect,   with our staff, with police department on what  that means and especially with MABCD uh and the   requirements of the new building code which also  bring value. So with the new building code uh   there's more there are more stringent requirements  for public safety buildings. Uh the new in the new   standards will increase structural members just to  give you a few examples to withstand higher wind   loads. It requires direct ventilation of storm  shelters and CO carbon monoxide monitoring of HVAC   equipment among other things. These code updates  will provide a safer and more resilient structure.   These would be the same design standards that  will go forward with the new uh fire station,   Southwest Fire Station. Our estimate with the  architect is is likely a cost not to ex exceed   $300,000 as a result of the new code requirements.  We believe that's a prudent investment that needs   to be made anyway. Uh, you know, even if we had  made it through design at the end of last year   on an expedited and hurried schedule and went  to construction, these improvements we really   think are necessary because the building  code was getting ready to kick in. So,   the item before you Tuesday is a request for an  additional half a million dollars. 300,000 of that   we think is our estimate for the the enhancements  from the new building code. uh the balance of that   is for some staffing costs and contingencies. So  there was multiple items that kind of pushed that   schedule out. More than anything, we chose  to take more time once the ARPA trigger was   removed. One thing I do want to add because I had  some confusion about this as well. The architect   did ask about the ability to since the project was  already in design to wave the new requirements for   of the code and I was under the impression and so  Chris Labram with MABCD gave permission for them   if they met a certain deadline. That deadline was  not met but that was because of discussions with   staff about the desiraability of upgrading not  because of inaction on part of the architect. Yes,   thank you. I actually had that in front of  me and left that out. So, thank you. I agree. And these are standards that obviously  now any uh organization that will build   from this moment forward has to abide by,  right? The new international. Yes. Correct. Thank you, Gary. All right.  Um, where was I? Oh. Um,   I think that was I think we talked about  number eight. So, with number eight,   can I just get a a map of where the  trail is so I can visualize it, too? Yes. Yeah. Looks like And a point of clarification for number eight.  Again, this is just for the trail, not for   whatever the original plan was. Is that correct?  That's correct. This is not for the implementation   of all the projects that are included in the  master plan. In fact, this is the only money   that I that is in the 10-year CIP for this park  if I remember correctly. Isn't that right? Well,   I'll double check that. It is. It's way far. Yeah.  Okay. And it's not much. It's like 500,000 maybe. All right. Um next to last page, just note  that there's two public housing authorities   uh properties for sale or purchase. And then  um the last page number 15 would approve a land   lease to allow construction of a 18,000 foot  hanger at Jabara. Number 16 would approve a   security arrangement for the financing of WSU tech  expansion at Jabara. Council member, that's the   very last item. Six uh 15 and 16. 16 is the item  I think you're concerned about. And they're both   on consent, right? They're both a consent. Okay.  Yep. Thank you. Okay, mayor. That's all I have for   the 21st. On the 28th, that's a consent agenda.  Third page. Uh 3A would approve a contract for   illegal dumping cleanup services. Uh 3B, C and D.  Those are all agreements for IT security systems. 3E would approve an agreement   uh for WPD's participation in the  KOT special enforcement program.   Next page number five would actually approve the  purchase of a critical incident vehicle for SWAT. And the final page number nine would  approve a contract for the study of   the electrical distribution system at Eisenhower. That's all I have. Thank you, city  manager. Any comments from council members?   I see none. Have a great weekend.
