PUBLIC WORKS AND SAFETYSTANDING COMMITTEE MINUTESMonday, May 13, 2013The meeting of the Public Works and Safety Standing Committee was held on Monday, May 13,2013, at 5:00 p.m., in the 6th Floor Human Resources Training Room of the Municipal OfficeBuilding. The following members were present: Commissioner Kane, Chairman;Commissioners Walker, Philbrook; and BPU Board Member Bryant. Commissioners Maddoxand Markley were absent.Chairman Kane called the meeting to order. Roll call was taken and all members were presentas shown above.Approval of standing committee minutes for March 18, 2013. On motion of BPU BoardMember Bryant, seconded by Commissioner Walker, the minutes were approved. Motioncarried unanimously.Committee Agenda:Item No. 1 – 130190…Requesting approval to submit an application for the FY2013COPS Hiring Program through the US Department of Justiceto fund eight new police officer positions, submitted by TerryZeigler, Assistant Police Chief. There is a 25% local match anda requirement to retain each officer position for at least twelvemonths at the conclusion of the three-year federal fundingperiod.Terry Zeigler, Assistant Police Chief, stated the Police Department is looking at applying forthe 2013 COPS Hiring Program grant. The grant would pay 75% of the officers’ salaries that wehire for three years and then the Unified Government would have to pick up the last year. Alsoattached to that is whatever our current staffing level is with the Police Department, we’recurrently at 380 filled positions, we would have to maintain that for four years. That would take

2our staffing level currently up to 388. I have been directed to look into eight positions. Thedeadline for it is May 22 nd .Since it is Community Policing oriented, we are looking at putting eight CommunityPolicing officers in the Patrol divisions. This would be new for us because currently we have theCommunity Policing, the Daytime unit, we have the Nighttime Cops Unit. These officers wouldwork in the Patrol divisions, two officers on shift three in the four Patrol divisions. They wouldaddress guns and violent crimes. It’s one of the areas that if we apply for, we get extraconsideration. The three areas for extra consideration are guns & violent crime, homicide, andschool resource officers. Currently we have school resource officers in all eight of the highschools. The thing we saw the need for was the violent crime.In 2008, our violent crime dropped to under 1,000 incidents per year. Since 2008, ourviolent crime has consistently lingered between 850-950 and we think this is a great opportunityfor the Police Department to create an initiative that will drive the violent crime even further,particularly focusing on gun violence. For the Police Department, there are several things thisties into. The gun violence ties into our gang issues/activities. It also ties into the crime freemultiple housing and the crime free rental property initiative that Code Enforcement has beenlooking into. The officers assigned, if it’s approved and we are able to get the positions, theseofficers will be working with Code Enforcement and they will also be working at night whenmost of our violent crimes occur. Predominately, the hours would be from 2 p.m. – 10 p.m. atnight. They would definitely be filling a gap and it would give us Community Policing coveragebasically for 13 hours a day, which we currently don’t have.Commissioner Philbrook said on shift three, tell me exactly what time shift three is. Is that 2:30until 10? LTC Zeigler said approximately it’s 2 - 10. Commissioner Philbrook said I justwanted to make sure what shift three was. You said that you would be hiring an additional 8 andright now you are at 380. If you hire the additional 8, you will have to hold the 388 or the 380number? LTC Zeigler said 388.Commissioner Walker asked what are the protective costs to the UG for the 12 month minimumretention three years out. LTC Zeigler said for the entire four years, the UG’s costs would beabout $1.4 million. Chairman Kane asked if we had to pay for it all, what would it be. LTCZeigler said the federal government will be paying for the first three years. Their share will beMay 13, 2013

3$1 million for the eight officers. They pay 75% of the salary, but actually due to the amount ofour officers’ pay with the federal government picking up 75% of the salary; it leaves about 31%that the UG is picking up so they actually have to pick up more than the 25% due to the salarieswhere they are currently at.Commissioner Philbrook asked how much does that figure out per officer per year. LisaStimetz, Public Safety Business Office, said for years one and two, it is around $64,000 perofficer each year. Commissioner Philbrook asked is there a total. I don’t know what the total isor what they make for their total salary, but per year, per officer, our part of it would be howmuch. Ms. Stimetz said our part would be around— LTC Zeigler said about $22,000 would bethe UG’s expense. BPU Board Member Bryant asked that would be projected across the fouryears average, right. LTC Zeigler said it is three years and because the— BPU Board MemberBryant said at 25%. LTC Zeigler said the grant stipulates that the fourth year, the UG has topick up the total costs of those eight officers. BPU Board Member Bryant said it would be like$128,000 for each of the first three years and about $512,000 on that last year roughly. Ms.Stimetz said for the first three years, for year one, it is going to cost around $276,000 for all eightofficers. That would include their uniforms and everything. Year two and year three, it would bearound $214,000, but year four, when we have to retain the officers for that year, it would bearound $727,000.Commissioner Philbrook asked how does that fit into our budget so far with our projectedbudget because I haven’t had a chance to figure that one out. LTC Zeigler said I can’t speak onthe UG’s budget, but I can tell you that currently the Police Department doesn’t have funding tocover the costs. Commissioner Philbrook said so you are asking for the additional amounts forus to come up with that. LTC Zeigler said yes.Commissioner Walker asked how many officers are necessary in your opinion to police a cityof this size with our unique characteristics. LTC Zeigler said I don’t know that I can give you aspecific number. I can tell you that we currently do a good job. We have seen crime go down,but like I mentioned in 2008, our violent crime numbers have kind of remained flat at 850-950.Our focus this year is to try and get the violent crime numbers even lower. We are not sure whythey have plateaued, but this would be a good initiative for the Police Department. It isMay 13, 2013

4something we haven’t done before. Commissioner Walker said the concern is that any timethese programs are started by the federal government over the many years, I have seen the greatidea lose its funding and the UG is faced with the very difficult position four years out once wehave the commitment whether to continue funding it or cut the number of police officers whichthen becomes controversial.I am primarily concerned about the funding three years out, where we’ll get the funding.We don’t know where we’ll get the funding. I guess while it is somewhat academic of what isthe top end number of police officers ideally we would need, it would seem that we never reachthat number through the years. I can remember when it was under 300 and now we have at least100 more officers than we did when I started. They are doing great work. Maybe more officersdo translate to less crime, but I have never seen anything that proves that point. LTC Zeiglersaid from the research that I have done on our pin numbers, this would give us the most swornpolice officers in the history of the UG. Obviously, we have had a change in demographics. Wehave more visitors coming to the Village West. We have development up on 39 th St. There are alot of things that are happening that this would give us an opportunity to take care of violentcrime, add to our pin numbers, and give us additional resources that I think we would probablyneed going into the future to handle some of the dynamics that we are seeing in growth.Chairman Kane said this is similar to what’s happened in the past, correct. LTC Zeigler askedas far as what. Chairman Kane said the grants. LTC Zeigler said yes sir, but this would be thefirst time that we have received a grant that has allowed us to increase our personnel inventory tothis level. In the past, we have been around 386. That has been our top number.BPU Board Member Bryant said I think it is my understanding, and I could be wrong, but withthe current Community Policing officers, would they have the ability to be pulled in for specialevents in the Village West area and things like that to assist out of their regular communitypolicing. I am wondering the way that this is written up about the homicide and gun violencethat basically they are brought in for that specific reasoning and it almost sounds like it has to bekept on for that. Would they still be available to be shifted around for helping special events?LTC Zeigler said currently the only Community Policing officers that we shift to the VillageWest as you described are the nighttime Community Policing officers. The daytime CommunityPolicing officers we refrain from that other than NASCAR and that is just due to the volume ofMay 13, 2013

5people that come into the city. We need the help. These officers for the life of this grant, theirfocus will have to be the guns and violent crimes which I believe is a needed area and having twoofficers in each division I think that is a good focus for the program. BPU Board MemberBryant asked so they would not be able to be pulled to that area. LTC Zeigler said no, sir. BPUBoard Member Bryant said I’m just looking at cutting overtime or the availability of overtimeby having the extra bodies prohibited for special events and things.Chairman Kane said this also gives us a service we don’t have now right. LTC Zeigler saidthat is correct. The other part of the initiative is that in this grant, the federal government wouldlike to see the Community Policing philosophy spread throughout organizations. The PoliceDepartment has very successful with the Community Policing program, but it has remainedpredominately a unit. This would give us the opportunity to train officers up in the Patroldivisions on the tactics and techniques used in Community Policing that have made it successful.It is a forced multiplier to them because we know with them working during the hours of violentcrime and addressing issues of blight or drug houses, we believe that will have a positive impacton lowering our violent crime number.Commissioner Philbrook asked what are you going to do with this after four years. Thequestion is, we are through with the grant. We’ve come up with the money to get you throughthe four years, then what happens? What are we going to do with that information that wegathered and what is the intent on how we get the money to keep going on? LTC Zeigler saidthe funding, obviously, that’s going to be an issue for the governing body to take up. I can onlyspeak as to what I could envision with Community Policing and with these officers if you wouldlike for me to talk about that. Commissioner Philbrook said yes, that would be nice.LTC Zeigler said what I would see is that initially, these Community Policing officers, I think,we would post the jobs where the officers would remain in these positions for four years. Wehave basically the same officers kind of like the way Community Policing is now. On the fifthyear, the idea would be to put these positions on the annual bid. What would happen is on ourannual bid, which is the time where all the officers from the Bureau of Operations get to come inand wherever their seniority allows them to go, they would go and work. We would put these onthe annual bid so now we would give officers throughout the organization an opportunity to beMay 13, 2013

6trained and work in the Community Policing environment. That would do wonders to improveour capacity and our effectiveness with Community Policing. It would be a force multiplier aswell as the goal would be for all of our district patrol officers to be able to perform the samefunctions with Code Enforcement, Rental Licensing, tagging property, and getting property toredown. We would like for all of our officers to be trained in that which they currently are not.Commissioner Walker asked can I ask the Clerk a question. When will this come up forapproval by the full commission? Bridgette Cobbins, Unified Government Clerk, said June6 th . Commissioner Philbrook said there is a time problem there. Commissioner Walker saidthe reason I asked that is I thought I read somewhere it had to be approved by May 22 nd . LTCZeigler said the deadline for our submission is May 22 nd . Commissioner Walker asked whenare we going to— Chairman Kane said we would have to fast track it. Commissioner Walkersaid so it would be on the special meeting on the 16 th . Ms. Cobbins said yes.Action:Commissioner Philbrook made a motion to take this to full commission aspresented. BPU Board Member Bryant seconded the motion if it’s a move toapprove.Gary Ortiz, Assistant County Administrator, said just a point of clarity. Generally speaking,the issue is dealt with at the standing committee and it is either approved or denied at this levelbased on the merit of the discussion here. It is not just the deferral of a decision to a later time itcomes— Commissioner Philbrook said thank you. I’ll take the brunt of that.Action:Commissioner Philbrook made a motion, seconded by BPU Board MemberBryant, to approve as presented. Roll call was taken and there were three“Ayes,” Bryant, Philbrook, Kane. Commissioner Walker voted “No.” (Motionfailed.)Item No. 2 – 130174…An ordinance updating Chapter 22- Miscellaneous Provisionsand Offenses to reflect changes made by Kansas Legislature in2011 and 2012, submitted by Brandy Nichols, Legal.May 13, 2013

7Brandy Nichols, Legal Department, said what I have in front of you are some standard changesto the Chapter 22 public offense code. I have created a memorandum outlining those changes. Ihave a couple of typos that I found. The first is Section 22. It is your second section. It says 22-7. That should actually be 22-73. In the ordinance itself, it is the same typo. In the actualsection, I left off the penalty, which is a Class A violation.Commissioner Walker said, Mr. Chairman, before the police officers leave, apparently I amoperating under old rules obviously. I thought that by voting no, it would send it to the fullcommission for debate. The reason I wanted it to go for full debate is because it is a budgetaryimpact. It used to be that when it did not get unanimous approval in the committee, then it wouldgo to the full commission and not be on the Consent Agenda. Has that rule changed or am Idated on what I understood to be the process? Jody Boeding, Chief Legal Counsel said if it isnot unanimous, it would go forward, but anything needs four votes to go forward and becausethis committee only has four members here, it would be unanimous. Mr. Walters is notparticipating right. Commissioner Walker said well he can. Any commissioner can participate.Commissioner Philbrook said but he can’t vote. Commissioner Walker said I didn’t want tokill the deal, but I do want the full budget impact explored by the full commission. I wanted thefull commission to have the opportunity because we are going to pay for it and I don’t thinkanybody should be left out of that fun.Commissioner Philbrook said whoever moved and seconded it has to pull back, right. Ms.Boeding said Roberts Rules says the vote can only be changed before the next item comes up.Action:Commissioner Walker made a motion, seconded by Commissioner Philbrook,to suspend the rule.Mr. Ortiz asked doesn’t the person that made the motion have to withdraw it? CommissionerWalker said we’re suspending the rule because we’re going to call it back up. CommissionerPhilbrook said we need to vote on that suspension. Ms. Boeding said there’s a motion and asecond to suspend the rule.May 13, 2013

8Roll call was taken on the motion to suspend the rule and there were four “Ayes,” Bryant,Philbrook, Walker, Kane.Commissioner Walker said I just simply want to say for the record that I am not opposed to thisnecessarily. It is just simply this incrementalism of additional public safety officers is a point ofwhich no matter how many police officers you have, you are not going to reduce crime below acertain rate. Now whether it is 388 or 300, I don’t know, but I am going to vote for this andsupport it only because I want the full commission to consider it.Commissioner Philbrook said I am kind of on the same level as he is. That’s why I said what Isaid earlier. I would really like to have the opportunity to see how this works out for us in thenext four years and see where to go with this, see if this is pie in the sky or if it’s a reality and itreally helps. If it really helps, then we would have a lot of people out there that are going to bevery happy with this. If it doesn’t help…four years, come talk to us. It’s going to make it tough.Chairman Kane asked, Chief, is there some more information that can be passed out to thecommission prior to it coming to us, broke down maybe on how many police officers there arenow, what is the short-term effect and what is the long-term effect. They probably needsomething that says we will be able to train more people in more different aspects of your job.LTC Zeigler said I don’t know. If you would like for me to type something up, the programproposal so you can kind of see the short-term and how we would implement it, and then thelong-term after the four year time period what we would anticipate doing providing that the UGcontinued to fund the positions, we could do that. Commissioner Philbrook said break it downinto as many ways as you can to explain the money and where it is going, what it is going to costus, and how much it is going to cost for staff after the four years.Chairman Kane said we are also asking this to be fast tracked so we are going to need thatinformation fairly quick. LTC Zeigler said I can probably have it by Monday. Chairman Kanesaid no. LTC Zeigler asked when is the meeting. Chairman Kane said this Thursday night.LTC Zeigler said I can have it to you maybe by the end of the day tomorrow, something typedup.May 13, 2013

9Action:BPU Board Member Bryant made a motion, seconded by CommissionerPhilbrook, to approve and fast track to May 16, 2013. Roll call was taken andthere were four “Ayes,” Bryant, Philbrook, Walker, Kane.Item No. 3 –130147…Communication regarding the Kansas City CommunityGardens’ request to use about three-fourths of an acre ofNorthup Park for a community garden, submitted by MargieWitt, Director of Parks & Recreation.Margie Witt, Director of Parks & Recreation, said this is for general information regarding thenew exciting program proposal of underutilized park land. Kansas City Community Gardenscame to us requesting to use three-fourths of an acre of Northup Park. This is the northeastsection of the park. This is going to be a trial program. KC Community Gardens will beresponsible for all cost labor pertaining to this program. They will maintain it and make sure it isweeded so that it won’t be an issue. The benefits of this program which support healthycommunities: it’s recreation of urban gardening. It attracts positive activities in our parks and itcreates a positive community. We are teaming up with an established professional programpartner. They have done it in a variety of locations. We are kind of excited about having thisopportunity. I would like to have them come forward if it pleases the commission to give moreinformation and answer any questions that you might have.Ben Sharda, Executive Director, Kansas City Community Gardens, said we are a private notforprofit agency and our mission is to work with low-income households, community residentsand community organizations to help them establish gardens so that people can grow vegetables,and fruit and eat healthier. We have been around for about thirty-six years. We work all over themetro area. We are not Kansas City, MO. We’re not just one metropolitan area. We work northof the river, KCMO, Independence, KCK and the idea is to help people by providing gardeningand resources at low costs so they can make gardening affordable because if you have to spend awhole bunch to grow your vegetables, it doesn’t make it very worthwhile.We provide things like seeds and plants, rototilling at low costs and then we also helpdevelop gardening sites around the city. In your packet, you will see a little presentation that justtells the basics of what we are talking about today. We also have a map of the park that we areMay 13, 2013

10talking about. We have been working already in Wyandotte County with about forty-fivecommunity groups all around the city to help them establish gardens, some of them not very farfrom here.We also work with schools to help schools have gardens so that these kids are learningabout all the other important things they need to learn. They learn about nutrition, eating healthyand some basic gardening which kids used to learn years and years ago but have kind of fallen bythe wayside over the years. We work with about twenty-seven schools in Wyandotte County andwe have been providing them with materials, seeds, plants and all those kinds of things. Rightnow we work with about five large community sites varying from half an acre to three acres.Some of them are located on parks land in KCMO or other municipal land in KCMO. We havehad kind of a long standing relationship with the city of Kansas City, MO, but it has been part ofour strategic plan to try at some point to get one started in KCK, in the Wyandotte area so wecould help people in this part of the metropolitan area also.The Latino Health for All Coalition has been working with us. We have been working ona garden that has been very successful over the last two or three years, and they have seen a hugeincrease at this garden in demand for increase gardening space.We have been trying to identify a site that might be suitable. We started looking at parksand found an underutilized park here at Northup Park, which is only about three blocks fromhere. It’s a great site, it has some great potential. The neighborhood—a lot of the houses, thepeople that live there just don’t have garden space because of limited space or trees and all thatkind of stuff. It looks like this could be a very beneficial thing for the local residents.Ms. Witt said they are currently offering classes and training on how to garden at BethanyCommunity Center so that is another part of this program that they are doing.Commissioner Philbrook asked how long are you dedicated to this because you are taking thison and there is nothing in here that says anything about time. Mr. Sharda said this is for thecontinuation of eternity is what we are committing to. I say that in seriousness. At the other siteswe have developed, we provided all the costs, water, the construction costs, and the managementcosts for the gardens. We do that with grants from local foundations and corporations. We havenot had any of these large gardens where they have decided not to do it any longer and so wewould be committed to doing it. If for some reason it turned out that the Unified Government ofMay 13, 2013

11Wyandotte County chose not to have a garden there any longer, we would remove the fence andthe garden. It can easily be removed.Commissioner Walker asked, Mr. Ortiz, have we developed a policy regarding thesecommunity or neighborhood gardens on publicly owned property. I know there has been off andon discussion about it. Gary Ortiz, Assistant County Administrator, said I believe there aretwo subcommittees that could possibly take it up. One is under the Land Bank and ChrisSlaughter is the director of the Land Bank. There is also a working group chaired byCommissioner McKiernan that is looking at actually housing opportunities and development ofvacant lots that also has declared an interest in looking at these neighborhood gardens as well.As far as your direct question about a policy, I don’t believe so.Commissioner Walker said I note that the next item up is related to gardens as well and well Idon’t know that they are necessarily tied together. The fact that they come together, I would askhave we coordinated anything with the Board of Public Utilities. Maybe Mr. Bryant would bethe person to ask. BPU Board Member Bryant said I don’t know anything on this. Now wehave our own community funding program that we run for neighborhood gardens, but those arenot on public land. They could be on public land I guess if it was a Land Bank item, butotherwise they are usually on lots. They are not in parks, which my question was going to be theinsurance liability to have that on a public park.Commissioner Walker said I have a similar concern, Mr. Bryant. I am very much in favor ofthese. Most of you know I am active in our local Master Gardeners’ group and I am all for thisurban farming. The problem becomes the money and the ability—who’s going to pay for thewater to take care of this? What funding resources do you have that will sustain this over aprolonged period of time? Bob Roddy, Director of Public Works, said, commissioner, if Icould help you with some of your questions. The idea of this being a new use of the park ground,you are absolutely correct, but I think at the staff review when we talked about this, we thoughtof this to be another recreational opportunity. People garden for recreation. It would be the samething if we had Master Gardeners taking care of a flowerbed in our community. This is just alittle bit broader. As far as this particular instance and this particular site, they are totallyresponsible for going to BPU and having the water connection and paying for it like any otherMay 13, 2013

12customer. The one item that follows this agenda item is talking about other lots that are notassociated with this park site.Commissioner Walker said no, I understand. This ad-hoc group, under the leadership ofCultivate KC, brought together a number of different interested parties and went to the Board ofPublic Utilities and you set up a grant program. Correct? Mr. Sharda said actually that is notexactly how it worked. We set up the grant program separate from —it’s not really a grant. It isa funding for gardens, but it was more of a result of previous requests that we received for manyneighborhood gardens; just formalizing it.Commissioner Walker said that is sort of my point here. If we are going to have acomprehensive gardening policy and use of these, I think there needs to be coordination with theBoard of Public Utilities. There is no need to be funding at the UG end if they are funding it atthe Board of Public Utilities’ end. I am only suggesting that if we are going to have this issueand it is going to keep coming up that we are going to have to have an overall policy that worksfor both entities and that could certainly be on the list of what I hope will be this futurecommittee that meets and discusses these kinds of issues. We have to have a broader visionbecause I think from what I am reading in the literature, this urban gardening craze is only goingto continue to expand. We are going to be unable to service the needs of everybody that wants acommunity or neighborhood garden. Mr. Roddy said we have had initial conversation with JimEpp of BPU regarding their program and how we might basically partner in addressing this entireneed in the community. So that conversation started it.Mr. Sharda said in response to your question about insurance. We would carry full liabilityinsurance that would provide for any kind of contingency and we do that at all of our garden sitesthat we manage. We can provide certificates of insurance that would…Commissioner Walker asked, Mr. Roddy, what happens to the remainder of the park. Mr.Roddy said it still remains the same. This is probably a 20-acre park site, and this is using lessthan 1 acre. It is an area that is remote from the recreation playground. It is on a hillside that isnot very suitable for level sporting playing events. Quite honestly, about the only thing I haveever seen on that spot is a lawnmower.May 13, 2013

13BPU Board Member Bryant said you were talking about classes and things like that. Are thosegoing to be free to the public? Mr. Sharda said yes, they are free to the public. CommissionerPhilbrook said I move that…Chairman Kane said this item doesn’t require an action.Commissioner Philbrook said thanks for telling me. Chairman Kane said I apologize. Ishould have said that at first.Action:No action required.Item No. 4 – 130173…Proposal for a new grant program to assist groups that createand sponsor a community garden with the cost of establishingpotable water connections, submitted by Bill Heatherman,County Engineer.Bill Heatherman, County Engineer, said this is obviously a similar topic. The specificproposal we have here is a partnership between the Health Department and the Public WorksStorm Water Group to continue to support community gardening. It is a grant program calledH2O to Grow. The key point to the grant would be those garden locations that are awarded agrant would receive help primarily with the installation of the potable water connection toprovide watering. The grant program has criteria that are attached. It is particularly intended toencourage proposals that have thought through water conservation and how they would take careof their site and the responsible parties. It is similar perhaps in some respects to the BPUprogram, but the overall demand and financing available, our understanding, has kind of taken itto a level where the support of the Storm Water Program would also be appropriate. With that Iwould stand for any questions.Commissioner Walker asked how much. Mr. Heatherman said we are recommending a targetof about $50,000 for the first year. Commissioner Walker asked how much does it cost for eachconnection to be hooked up from the Board of Public Utilities. Mr. Heatherman said theplumbing connection itself is on the order of $3,000 - $7,000, just depending on how long of aconnection.May 13, 2013

14Action:Commissioner Walker made a motion, seconded by BPU Board MemberBryant, to approve. Roll call was taken and there were four “Ayes,” Bryant,Philbrook, Walker, Kane.Mr. Heatherman said I want to recognize Caitlin McMurtry. She has worked very hard ondeveloping this program and other initiatives.Item No. 5 – 130169…Discussion regarding application for the TIGER V grant tofund the construction of the State Avenue and Village Westinterchange, submitted by Bill Heatherman, County Engineer.Bob Roddy, Director, Public Works, said recently the federal government announced a TIGERV grant which was $473M and immediately drew our attention as to whether or not we shouldsubmit an application for this. That was the original purpose of being on this agenda tonight. Itwas the one project we saw that would fit the criteria. The project had to be in access of $10M ata minimum, shovel ready and you had to start construction by next spring. It would haverequired a 20% local match. After going through an intensive review of this for the last twoweeks, we realized two things. One, this was our only project that was potentially eligible andsecond, we realized that we decided not to recommend pursuing this application. The reasonwas for a variety of reasons, but the biggest one was that KDOT was not ready and it would haverequired them to invest a whole lot of design money and agreement to do planning work anddesign work in the near term. It just didn’t work out.When we talked about this at the agenda review, the Mayor suggested that we bring thisforward anyway as a lesson if nothing else to show a clear example of how we have oftentimestoo frequent of projects that are in the stable ready to go and as a result we miss grantopportunities. We have been successful in the past at other TIGER grants, but this one we wouldbe spinning our wheels. The good news is I think staff has come to realize that we need to havethings in the stable so that when grant opportunities come available, we can just take it off theshelf and at least be ready to submit it. In this coming CMIP, there are a number of projects thatare submitted for request that contain planning dollars with the possibility that these futureplanning efforts could provide those projects in the stable. The way Public Works is funding it,May 13, 2013

15we are basically reducing some of our construction projects to pay for planning dollars with thehope that it pays off in the end with larger grants in the future.Action:No action required.Item No. 6 – 130168…A resolution authorizing the UG to enter into a fundingagreement with the Turner Recreation Commission for lightingimprovements at the Turner Community Walking Park,submitted by Bill Heatherman, County Engineer. This is aCommission Neighborhood Infrastructure ImprovementProject (CNIP) in District 6 and is included in the CMIPbudget.William Heatherman, County Engineer, said this item is the approval of a funding agreementwith the Turner Recreation Commission to implement one of the District 6 CommissionNeighborhood Infrastructure Program which is lighting for the walking park at Turner WalkingPark.Action:Commissioner Walker made a motion, seconded by BPU Board MemberBryant, to approve. Roll call was taken and there were four “Ayes,” Bryant,Philbrook, Walker, Kane.Item No. 7 – 130195…Update provided by Mike Tobin, Public Works on:1. Current status of yard waste disposal2. Impact of Emerald Ash Borer as it relates to yard wasteMike Tobin, Public Works, said I am here with an issue that doesn’t require any action. It isbasically to bring you up-to-date on the status of yard waste and how it will affect our county.Some of you are aware that last year, staff was able to negotiate a twenty year extension to thelong range trash contract. As part of that contract, there were two changes and one of them was alimit placed on the collection of tires and the other one was a new program was going to berequired for yard waste because the Johnson County Board of Commissioners voted a restrictionMay 13, 2013

16to placing yard waste in their landfill, even though the yard waste coming out of WyandotteCounty was a very minute percentage of what was going in that landfill, they still voted.We put that in the new contract and proceeded ahead with it. The Johnson CountyCommissioners granted us an extension until the end of the original contract which would havebeen June 30, 2013. I am here to inform you that there won’t be any interruption in our yardwaste collection as it now exists. We did establish a program that has different initiatives in itthat has subscription service, it will have neighborhood sweeps and district drop-offs, but therehave been a couple of factors that I am here to talk about that have altered that and may possiblyalter it well into the future.One, the legislature took exception to the Johnson County restriction of other countieswith a contract placing yard waste into their landfill. That bill has been passed by the House andis sitting in the Senate right now. The thought is it will come out this week or next week and thatrestriction will be removed. That will require a change and possibly an amendment to ourcontract, but the yard waste collection will continue the way it is.The second thing that has impacted the yard waste collection and service is the EmeraldAsh Borer which is a pest or an insect that started in Michigan nine years ago and has worked itsway all the way down into the Midwest and point of fact was discovered last summer atWyandotte County Lake, therefore, the United States Department of Agriculture, in conjunctionwith the Kansas Department of Agriculture, has placed Wyandotte County in a quarantine. Whatthis quarantine means is that no ash wood debris can leave the county and be hauled into anothercounty, meaning it couldn’t go to the Johnson County Landfill.The assumption that an insect that has come all the way from Michigan could be stoppedby the Kaw River is somewhat ridiculous. I would think that the Emerald Ash Borer is already inJohnson County but they don’t want to concede that fact. However, in a meeting between thefederal and state, the contractor and UG staff were able to reach an agreement and Deffenbaughwill be able to continue to collect our yard waste. They will not be able to collect ash wooddebris from April to October of every year until this quarantine is either extended or lifted. TheEmerald Ash Borer is not going to go away. Eventually all the ash trees in Wyandotte Countythat are untreated will die and be wiped out, but our yard waste will continue to be collected. Iwill come back and update you as to what happens in the legislature with the current bill and howthis will impact our citizens.May 13, 2013

Project Narrative:Prior AccomplishmentsNot Applicable. 2013 JAG funds were not received.Problem Statement and Needs AssessmentWyandotte County Kansas is located in northeast Kansas, bordering the state of Missouri tothe East and Nebraska to the North. Wyandotte County is part of the Kansas City MetropolitanArea and has a population of 157,505 (U.S. Census, 2010) and covers an area of 151 squaremiles.Wyandotte County is the smallest of 105 counties in Kansas, and home to the 2 nd largest sexoffender population, second to Sedgwick County with a population three times the size ofWyandotte County. The minority population in Wyandotte County (black, Hispanic, other)accounts for approximately 57% of all citizens. Approximately 24 % of the citizens speak alanguage other than English in their homes. Persons below the poverty level numberapproximately 22% (U.S. Census, 2010).The Wyandotte County Sheriff’s Office is the agency responsible for offender registrationand verification as provided by Kansas law. The Wyandotte County Sheriff’s Office is currentlyinvestigating and prosecuting violations of the Kansas Offender Registration Act (KSA 4209),which includes sex offenders, violent offenders, and drug offenders.The Sheriff’s Office is responsible for entering the updated registration information intothe National Crime Information Center (NCIC) computer and also sending the updates to theKansas Bureau of Investigation (KBI). The Sheriff’s Office must identify those offenders whofail to register or fail to update their registry as required by law. The Sheriff’s Office mustsubmit case files to the District Attorney for prosecution of offenders who violate the registrationrequirements, and attempt to locate offenders who abscond or otherwise fail to meet registrationrequirements.Wyandotte County Kansas Sheriff’s Office Page 1 of 11

Each offender will be assigned to a Compliance Officer. The Compliance Officer willverify the data provided by each offender assigned to him/her, including address, employmentand/or school. The Compliance Officer will ensure that each offender’s data is entered into theNCIC system in a timely manner and remains current. Address verification will be made by theCompliance Officers through personal visits to the offender’s residence, including interviews ofother residents, neighbors and/or landlords when necessary to confirm the data provided by theoffender. Offender employment and/or school enrollment may be verified by the ComplianceOfficers via telephone, personal visit, or surveillance. If need be, the Compliance Officers willhelp each other if an Officer is sick or on vacation (currently if the Compliance Officer is sick oron vacation a Sheriff’s Deputy has to be pulled from a different unit).By assigning each offender to a Compliance Officer, the Sheriff’s Office will be betterable to track the registration compliance of individual offenders. Additionally the offender willhave a designated contact within the Sheriff’s Office should any questions arise concerninghis/her registration, each phase of the offender’s registration process, updating, re-registration,and dual registration, and will make the offender know he is being monitored. ComplianceOfficers will ensure timely NCIC entry, current photograph and finger/palm prints on file, andverification of information are fulfilled. The individual assignment of registered offenders to aparticular Compliance Officer will also aid in locating and prosecution of offenders who violatethe registration requirements, as the assigned Compliance Officer will have a more thoroughknowledge of the offender’s registration and personal history.When an offender is identified as an absconder or otherwise having failed to meetregistration requirements, the Compliance Officer will submit a case file and affidavit to theinvestigator to attempt to locate the offender and assist in the prosecution process if necessary.For the past three years, a lack of personnel has, for all practical purposes, rendered the Sheriff’soffice unable to pursue prosecution against those offenders who fail to comply with the law. Thetime necessary to properly investigate and prepare a case for the District Attorney’s office hasnot been available with current staff. Despite the significant increase in the numbers ofregistered offenders who are not in compliance, the Sheriff’s Office did not present any cases forprosecution in 2010 or 2012. In 2011, only one offender was prosecuted for non-compliance.Wyandotte County Kansas Sheriff’s Office Page 4 of 11

The Sheriff’s Office knows this is unacceptable and is doing everything possible to find asolution, which includes applying for these funds.Offenders who identify themselves as “homeless” are required to provide a locationwhere they habitually live. The Compliance Officer will require these offenders to report to theSheriff’s Office once per month until the offender has a permanent residence, as well as visitingthe address or location provided by the offender. In addition, the “homeless” offender is requiredto provide proof of where they have been staying as well as where they plan to stay the followingmonth. The Compliance Officer works with the Police Department and other agencies toconfirm the location the offender stated they are staying at.For address verification, the data provided by the offender will be compared to public andprivate sources, including parole and probation offices, utilities, real and personal property taxrolls, vehicle registration, driving license records, and commercial databases. Additionally,verification will be made by personal visits to the offender’s residence, including interviews ofother residents, neighbors and/or landlords when necessary.In addition, 26% of the Wyandotte County population is of Hispanic origin with 24% ofhomes speaking a language other than English. Any Compliance Officer who is not fluent inSpanish will be required to attend a basic Spanish class at the local community college. TheSheriff’s Office currently has employees who are fluent in Spanish available during regularregistration hours to assist those offenders who are not fluent in English. These employees willcontinue to assist in the registration process. The Sheriff’s Office will also provide a writtenSpanish translation of registration requirements to offenders upon request.Justification of Need for Grant FundsFunding for the Offender Registration Unit was sought in 2012 via the U.S. Departmentof Justice SMART FY12 Support for Adam Walsh Act Implementation Grant Program. Hadthose funds been received, the Sheriff’s Office would have had additional personnel available toassist with the registration of the sex offenders we currently monitor, easing the burden on theOffender Registration Unit. Although our request met the funding eligibility requirements andwas carefully reviewed, Wyandotte County was not selected to receive funding.Wyandotte County Kansas Sheriff’s Office Page 5 of 11

The Sheriff’s Office will be working closely with District Attorney Jerome Gorman tocollect the necessary data to prosecute those offenders who are in non-compliant status. TheDivision Commander, in collaboration with an appointee from the District Attorney’s Office,will develop a “check list” of the essential data required to ensure successful prosecution of noncompliantoffenders.Lt. Col Bob Gunja will make contact with Chief Rick Armstrong of the Kansas City, KSPolice Department; Chief Mark Mathies of the Edwardsville Police Department; and Chief JohnHaley of the Bonner Springs Police Department to make them aware of the new personnel andprocesses of the Offender Registration Unit. This outreach will guarantee all law enforcementofficers understand the processes in place to communicate concerns/data regarding registeredoffenders residing in their jurisdictions and who to contact with questions. Lt. Col Bob Gunjawill also contact the Director of Community Corrections, Phillip Lockman, and the Director ofCourt Services, Delma Leapheart to communicate the increase in personnel in the OffenderRegistration Unit and discuss how the agencies can better work together to monitor offenders.Working in collaboration with these agencies will help to make sure the goals of properlymonitoring, supervising, and prosecuting (as necessary) registered offenders are met. Byreceiving JAG funding offenders will be monitored properly as required by State Statutes, andprosecuted for failure to comply. There will not be any duplication of services, justenhancements to the way monitoring is currently done.In the case of working with juveniles, Compliance Officers and the Investigator willcontact the youth’s probation officer as needed. The Sheriff’s Office has representation on theJuvenile Corrections Advisory Board and currently works with employees of the DistrictAttorney’s Office, Community Corrections, Court Services, Kansas City, KS Police Department,and Bonner Springs Police Department.SustainabilityThe Wyandotte County Sheriff’s Office is currently engaged in a process of doublebunkingthe Adult Detention facility. This project requires a significant investment in the facilityand additional staff. The 2013 Amended and 2014 budgets are planning to finance the additionalWyandotte County Kansas Sheriff’s Office Page 9 of 11

staff required to increase the numbers of inmate housed in the Wyandotte County jail. Byincreasing the number of inmates housed in Wyandotte County this will reduce the amount spentto house inmates in other counties. The investment in the double bunking project and jailpersonnel combined with the reduction in off-site inmate housing costs will create a positivefinancial outcome.Through the reduction of off-site inmate housing expenditures, the Sheriff’s Officeanticipates being able to fund the additional Offender Registration Unit staff during the 2014Amended and 2015 budget process. The Sheriff’s Office is dedicated to seeing this processthrough and to committing the necessary resources to independently support the OffenderRegistration Unit.Criminal History Record InformationThe Wyandotte County Sheriff’s Office does meet the statutory requirements (K.S.A. 22-4701 et.seq) for submission of criminal history records to the Kansas Bureau of Investigation.Civil Rights Contact InformationMr. Henry Couchman, J.D.Unified Government of Wyandotte County/Kansas City, Kansas701 N.7 th Street, Legal DepartmentKansas City, Kansas 66101913-573-5060DUNS numberWyandotte County DUNS number is 030 693 56212.

The Kansas City, Kansas Police Department considersTeleserve Officer critical positions in helping the department fulfill its mission to the citizens ofKansas City, Kansas. The Kansas City, Kansas Police Department’s Teleserve Unit is a vital part ofthe Police Department’s effort to reduce violent crime and drugs in its community.

The Teleserve Unit takes police reports by which enables theKansas City, Kansas, Police Department to operate more efficiently by allowing patrol officers todedicate more time to proactive enforcement activities and improves the Department’s response timeby reducing the number of reports taken by patrol officers in the field. This allows field officers topatrol the streets combating crime and not having to make misdemeanor police reports and handleinformation calls. By reducing the number of report calls, officers are available to respond to prioritycalls such as armed disturbances, domestic violence calls, robberies, and shootings.Currently the KCK Police Department has an average response time of 6 minutes and 16 secondsfrom the time the call is dispatched until the officer arrives on the scene. Teleserve Officers are anintegral part of the public safety system and, therefore, are viewed as mission critical positions.Without adequate staffing of the Teleserve Unit, the citizens of Kansas City, Kansas can expectdelays in the processing of calls, which can place their life and property in unnecessary danger.

Development / Building Permit Process Survey Summary – 2012IntroductionOn November 26, 2012 a development / building permit process survey was sent to individuals andbusinesses that have worked with the Unified Government on a project(s). A list of names wasprovided by the Unified Government Building Inspections Department and containedindividuals/businesses that had applied for a building permit or went through the planning and zoningprocess. This survey was unique in that paper copies of the survey were mailed to those who did notprovide an email address to the Unified Government. Those who did provide an email address weresent an email message asking them to complete the survey online. The online survey softwareSurvey Monkey was used to create the online version of the survey.The goal of the survey was to investigate the Unified Government development and building permitprocess. Questions were asked on the survey regarding who was filling out the survey (homeowner,developer, etc.), how many times they worked with the Unified Government on adevelopment/building project, what departments/divisions they came in contact with and the level ofservice they received. Ultimately the results of this survey may be used to make improvements to thedevelopment and building permit process if needed.This summary contains a main section that will discuss the results of each question of the survey.Appendix A contains an overall summary to all the survey questions. Appendix B contains a detailedlisting of open-ended responses.
