S. NINTH STREET CORRIDOR
PROJECT, PHASE III
A major component of the City's
2002 Capital Improvement Program
(CIP) is the third phase of a four-
phase program to improve the South
Ninth Street Corridor between Cloud
Street and Schilling Road. Phase III
is scheduled to begin in March 2002
and will be completed in November
2002. This phase will include the
l/2-mile section between Magnolia
Road and Belmont Boulevard. The
first phase, completed in 1996, in-
cluded the portion of South Ninth
Street between Cloud Street and Otto
Avenue. That phase is oftentimes
referred to as the "Ninth and Broad-
way" project due to the radical
changes made to that intersection.
The second phase, finished in 1998,
involved the section between Otto
A venue and Magnolia Road, directly
adjacent to the Central Mall. The
combined cost of the first two phases
is approximately $4.5 million. The
total estimated cost of the 2002,
Phase 3 Project is $2.9 million, to be
financed by general obligation
bonds with no mill levy tax increase.
The 2002 South Ninth Street
Corridor Project will include the to-
tal reconstruction of the divided
four-lane section of South Ninth
Street between Magnolia Road on
the north and Belmont Boulevard on
the south. The outdated rural high-
way design will be replaced with an
urban parkway design, similar to
Phase I and Phase II. The new street
will include curb and gutter, raised!
Phase III. Project Location
landscaped center median, improved
storm drainage systems and traffic
enhancements at the intersections.
The existing entrance to the Mid
State Plaza on Ninth Street will be
converted to a four-way intersection
with the installation' of traffic sig-
nals. The Parkway A venue intersec-
tion with Ninth Street will be elimi-
nated and the Key A venue intersec-
tion will be improved. The intersec-
tion of Belmont Boulevard and
Ninth Street will be improved, in-
cluding a raised center median on the
east leg to improve traffic safety.
Perhaps the greatest challenge
on the South Ninth Street Corridor
Project is constructing the improve-
ments while still maintaining
through traffic and access to adja-
cent businesses and intersections.
Over 18,000 vehicles per day travel
on this portion of South Ninth Street,
including over 2,000 vehicles
through the intersection of Ninth and

HALLOWEEN SAFETY FIREHoUSE A HUGE SUCCESS
In an effort to promote October as
National Fire Prevention Month, the
Salina Fire Department hosted its first
Halloween Safety Firehouse on Octo-
ber 25th, 26th & 27th. The Halloween
House took place at Fire Station # 1,
located at 222 W. Elm Street. Fire Sta-
tion # 1 was transformed into six sepa-
rate rooms, all of which presented a
fire safety message with a Halloween
theme. The themes developed for chil-
dren under the age of 10 were delivered
through a wide variety of characters
ranging from "nutty professor" to
"dancing pumpkins."
Over the three-day period, the Hal-
loween Fire Safety House had over
2,500 people enjoy the experience.
Along with the Halloween House,
which was free of charge, visitors
enjoyed free popcorn and entertain-
ment while they waited in line.
Several area businesses and or-
ganizations deserve thanks for pro-
viding in-kind supplies and assis-
tance to make the Halloween House
possible. A special thanks goes to
the Salina Home Builders Associa-
tion for their financial support.
Also, over 200 volunteers were util-
ized to play characters in the house,
assist in the construction of the
rooms and serve refreshments to the
crowd.
Although many fire depart-
ments around the State participate
in various activities, the Halloween
House is the only one of its kind in
Kansas. Due to the success of this
year's event, the planning for the
2002 Halloween House is already
underway.
IMAPPING THE CITY'S INFRASTRUCTURE
It is not uncommon for facilities
such as streets, bridges, sewer lines and
water systems to be in service for well
over 50 years. It becomes very impor-
tant, then, to prepare and maintain ex-
cellent records and maps of these fa-
cilities. Traditionally, that type of rec-
ord or map was prepared manually and
recorded on paper. But just as word
processors and the internet have
changed the way we communicate, so
have computer-aided drafting and geo-
graphical information systems changed
the way we make and store maps.
A geographical information system
(GIS) is a sophisticated computer-
based mapping system. Throughout
the 1990' s, both city and county staffs
developed the GIS system for the area.
Beginning in 2001, city staff began
utilizing this powerful information sys-
tem in day-to-day operations and serv-
ices to our citizens. In addition, two
other key advancements were made in
2001 with the development of digital
orthographic aerial photography and a
computerized pavement manage-
ment system. .
Now, any property in the City
can be readily viewed on a com-
puter monitor as an aerial photo-
graph with the simple click of a but-
ton. Along with an aerial photo-
graph, several features can be added
or layered onto the photo such as
streets, sidewalks, water systems,
sewer lines, zoning status and other
information pertinent to that spe-
cific property.
Due to a majority of infrastruc-
ture improvements being buried un-
derground, it has always been a dif-
ficult challenge to visualize and de- manner that is quick and fairly sim-
scribe the location of these particu- pIe to understand. This allows citi-
lar improvements. However, this zens to better understand the other-
technology proves that the saying wise complex infrastructure issues
"a picture is worth a thousand that may directly affect their lives
words," holds true. The visual im- and property. This technology is
ages and specific location of infra- used on a daily basis by land devel-
structure improvements provides opers, city boards and commis-
city staff with a tool to relay infor- sions, building officials and a num-
mation via a picture to citizens in a ber of other city departments.

5TH ANNUAL WOMEN'S HISTORY MONTH LUNCHEON
The City of Salina Human Re-
lations Department and Commis-
sion, in partnership with the
League of Women Voters, and the
Senior Minority Outreach Task-
force will be hosting the Sth An-
nual Women's History Month
Luncheon on Friday, March 1,
2002.
The presenter and special guest
for this event will be Susan Peters,
long-time news anchor for KAKE-
TV, Channel 10. Ms. Peters will
be detailing her years as a member
of the news media, and some of her
experiences "in the field." Her
presentation entitled "What is True
Success" promises to offer an in-
sider's view of the inroads women
have made in the news media pro-
fession.
Since 1998, the Human Relations
Commission has featured women
who have made a difference in his-
tory. Past speakers have included:
.' Angela Bates, President of the
Nicodemus Historical Society.
. Tina DelaRosa, Director of the
Kansas Advisory Committee on
Hispanic Affairs spoke on the
influence women in her family
made in her life, lifting her be-
yond her migrant-worker up-
bringing to college graduate and
leader in the Hispanic Commu-
nity.
. Marla Matkin, who gave us
"Libbie's Story," a portrayal of
the wife of General George Arm-
strong Custer.
I NEIGHBORHOOD PARKS PROGRAM
In 1997, the City Commission
approved a plan identifying nine
interior and perimeter growth areas
in the City for the development of
neighborhood parks. As develop-
ment continues, these areas will be
addressed for neighborhood park
additions. Traditionally, the aver-
age bi-annual budget for the Neigh-
borhood Parks Program is $75,000.
Neighborhood parks remain the
basic unit of a community's park
system and serve as the recrea-
tional and social focus of a neigh-
borhood. A neighborhood park can
be found in a variety of sizes, rang-
ing up to 14 acres. Smaller neigh-
borhood parks will likely target
young children and contain play-
ground equipment. The City of Sa-
lina currently has thirteen sites
classified as neighborhood parks:
Centennial, Country Club, Glenif-
fer School, Hawley, Hawthorne.
School, Pacific, Woodlawn,
Parker, Phillips, Riverside, Oxbow,
Kennedy School and Schilling
School. The two newest neighbor-
hood parks, Kennedy and Schilling,
were completed in 2000. Features at
each include a shelter, playground
and landscaping. A soccer field is
also located at Kennedy Park.
Currently, Parks and Recreation
staff is working on a new neighbor-
hood park located on the Meadow-
lark school site. With the expansion
of Meadowlark, and the associated
playground, the City's emphasis is
on the passive area in the southwest
comer of the site, known as the Jerry
Baxa Outdoor Lab. Additional fea-
tures will include a shelter house for
family picnics, new walkways and
weather station. A new bridge will
replace the existing one and the am-
phitheater will be rebuilt. Stream
bed improvements will also be made,
as well as improvements to the small
pond located in the park. City staff

The 2002 Annual Budget
Setting Public Priorities through the Budget Process
In August, the City Commis-
sion established the 2002 budget.
The budget is comprised of three
distinct parts: an operating budget
to account for general operations; a
capital budget to fund public im-
provements and construction; and a
debt service budget to fund major
capital projects in which municipal
bonds are utilized. The annual
budgetary process provides Com-
missioners with an opportunity to
evaluate existing programs and
services. From this, they can better
establish future priorities for serv-
ice and program levels based on
community needs.
Once the scope of services is
determined and costs estimated,
revenues are evaluated to deter-
mine availability from each source
(i.e., taxes, fees, or other govern-
mental funding types). If revenue
availability does not support the
proposed expenditures, the City
Commission must make the diffi-
cult choice of either increasing
revenues or reducing service levels.
Salina begins the budgetary

nances, please contact the City Man-
ager's office at (785) 309-5700 and re-
quest a copy of the 2002 Budget-In-
Brief
process by reviewing the current
year's services. They look at service
quality and efficiency to determine if
service levels should increase, de-
crease, remain the same, or be discon-
tinued. These budget discussions
with City Staff begin in April. Indi-
vidual departmental requests are pre-
sented by mid-May, and the next six
weeks involve in-depth review of pri-
orities and service alternatives. In
early July, the City Manager presents
a proposed working budget to the City
Commission. The City Commission-
ers then publicly meet several times
to discuss and form the budget for the
new year. This entails examination of
various service alternatives and a de-
cision regarding the City's direction
for the upcoming year. Formal public
hearings are held in August, with a
final decision made at that time. All
meetings and communications with
the City Commission are always open
to the public.
Total expenditures for 2002 are
budgeted to be approximately $52.0
million. This includes $39.3 for gen-
eral operations, $6.5 million for capi-

tal projects, and $6.2 for debt retire-
ment. Once again, the City Com-
mission has set a goal of holding
down the City property tax mill
levy. In fact, Salina continues to
have one of the lowest property tax
rates of any first class city in Kan-
sas.
The overall goal of the City
budget is clear: maintain a high
quality of operating services, protect
the public, improve our streets and
utilities, enhance the quality of com-
munity services, and respond atten-
tively to citizen concerns. Clearly,
the establishment of the budget is
one of the most important items on
any Commissioner's agenda. As a
result, citizens are always invited
and encouraged to participate in the
process. This is also a reason the
City annually prepares the Budget-
In-Brief - a short, easy to under-
stand overview of the City budget.

THE SALINA CITIZEN
CITY PROMOTES TREE PLANTING
In an effort to promote new tree
plantings within the City's boundaries,
the City of Salina Parks and Recrea-
tion Department, in conjunction with
the Salina Tree Advisory Board, have
established a Tree Planting Cost Share
Program. Salina's urban forest has
been in a state of decline for many
years due in part to the effects of
Dutch Elm Disease, natural mortality
of old, mature trees and environmental
impact that man has on the urban envi-
ronment. Under the Tree Planting Cost
Share Program, the City of Salina will
provide for half the cost of purchasing
a new tree to be planted by the resident
on an approved site. These trees can
be planted on public or private land.
The following stipulations apply to
this program:
1. The tree must be a species from
the recommended list, which is
available from the City Forester.
2. The site must be approved by the
City Forester.
3. Each Landowner is allowed two
(2) trees per property.
4. The City will provide up to $25
per tree.
5. The City will provide up to $50
per tree for the trees indicated in
the Tree Planting Cost Share Pro-
gram pamphlet by "bold burnt or-
ange" print. These trees do well in
Salina, but are seldom planted.
6. Due to limited funding, this pro-
gram is on a first-come, first-serve
basis.
In addition to the Cost Share Pro-
gram, the City also has a "Legacy Tree
Fund." This program enables private
citizens or groups to donate money for
PAGE 6
the planting of trees in parks or
other City property.
If you are interested in partici-
pating in either one of these pro-
grams or have any questions,
please contact the City Forester at
(785) 826-7275.
MUNICIPAL COURT BUILDING ADDITION IN 2002
As part of the 2002 Capital Im-
provement Program (CIP), the City of
Salina will be constructing a new and
efficient Municipal Court. The addi-
tion will be an expansion of the exist-
ing Salina-Saline County Law En-
forcement Building on what is now
Tenth Street. The current Municipal
Court is located on the 2nd floor of the
Law Enforcement Center. With over
20,000 cases per year, the current ac-
tivity volume has outgrown the avail-
able space. The primary goal of the
project is to provide for a more organ-
ized and safe court environment which
is much more convenient to the pub-
lic.
The project includes the construc-
tion of a single-story, 5,648 square
foot first floor addition with a base-
ment consisting of an additional 5,000
square feet. The building is designed
to match existing architectural style
and features. With an emphasis on
safety, a new parking plan will help
eliminate on-street, angled parking,
allow for a short-term/drop off area
and create additional accessible park-
ing spaces. The project also includes
additional landscaping and a public art
element. The new lobby space will be
significantly increased in size to elimi-
nate overcrowding-a potentially
safety sensitive issue for the public and

officials. The project will also provide
separate spaces for police witnesses,
public witnesses and police officers; a
secure holding area for incarcerated
defendants, and private meeting areas
for attorney-client conferences. Also,
all administrative offices are designed
emphasizing a layout that is most ef-
fectively suited for the functional ac-
tivities of the Court.
Further-
more, the proj-
ect allows for
long-term
growth in the
facility, with
the basement
effectively
meeting storage space require-
ments for the Court, including the
record retention requirements of
the State of Kansas.
Jones-Gillam Architects of Sa-
lina has been retained by the City
to design and oversee the construc-
tion of the facility. A tentative
construction timeline has the proj-
ect beginning in late March 2002
with completion in 8 to 12 months.
We think this project will help
make a visit to the Court as con-
venient as possible If you have
any questions regarding to the
Municipal Court Addition, please
contact the City Manager's Office
at 309-5700.

CITY OPERATED SOLID WASTE PROGRAMS
In conjunction with the Sa-
lina - Saline County Solid Waste
Committee, the City of Salina of-
fers a variety of solid waste pro-
grams for its residents. These
programs provide an important
service to our citizens. A brief
summary of some the programs
that are offered is as follows:
RESIDENTIAL TRASH COL-
LECTION
The City's Sanitation Collection
Service provides curbside collec-
tion of trash to over 13,600 resi-
dential customers on a weekly ba-
sis for $9.75 per month. In addi-
tion, for a one-time fee of $16,
customers can obtain an addi-
tional polycart exclusively for
their yard waste material. The
PROJECT UPDATES
City Sanitation Division also offers a
special pickup service for a rate of
$14 minimum per call, which pro-
vides 15 minutes loading time.
FREE YARD WASTE DAYS
The City's free yard waste days have
been a big success. In both the spring
and fall, the City offers the opportu-
nity for residents to dispose of their
yard waste free of charge and to pick
up wood chips ifthey choose to do so.
This is done at the East Crawford
Recreation Area along Markley Road.
HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS
WASTE
The Household Hazardous Waste Fa-
cility provides the opportunity for all
County residents including Saline,
Ellsworth, Ottawa and Lincoln Coun-
ties to dispose of household waste
items free of charge. These are items
that could cause environmental prob-
lems if disposed of in a landfill or
directly on the ground. This facility,
located at 315 East Elm, is open
Thursday 7:30 a.m. - 7:00 p.m. and
the first Saturday of the month from
8:00 a.m.' to noon; other drop-off
times can be made by appointment.
VENTURE GRANTS
The City offers a Solid Waste Ven-
ture Grant Program which helps dis-
posal/recycling operations in the
County to reduce the amount of
waste going into the Landfill. This
program is funded through a $1.00
per ton tipping fee at the City Land-
fill. Over $200,000 in grants have
been awarded to local businesses and
organizations since 1998.
FUTURE ROAD ENHANCEMENT PROJECTS
In recent years great strides
have been made in improving the
road system in and around the
City of Salina including major ex-
pansions of Ohio Street, Crawford
Street, Ninth Street, intersection
improvements and new inter-
changes on 1-135. However, there
are several major road enhance-
ment projects that are in the de-
sign stages right now and will be
under construction within the next
5 years. In conjunction with the
Kansas Department of Transporta-
tion, the City of Salina has put
into place several major projects
that will greatly enhance the road
system for the City of Salina.
The following is a list of key
projects and tentative timeline lay-
out projects that will take place
between 2002 and 2005 in Salina.
The actual schedule for each proj-
ect is subject to change based
upon many factors.
2002:
1. South Marymount Road Improve-
ments.
2. South Ninth Street Corridor, Phase
III, Improvements.
2003:
3. I-135/Water Well Road Inter-
change.
4. Schilling Road/Centennial Road
Improvements.
5. I - 70 Reconstruction (KDOT).
2004:
6. Lakewood (Old Smoky Hill River)
Bridge Replacement.
7. North Ninth Street (Mulberry
Creek) Bridge Replacement.
2005:
8. North Ohio Street Railroad Over-
pass.
The City Engineering Division is
actively involved at various stages
with each of these projects. In all
cases, the project design is underway
and the funding mechanisms are in
place. More information will be pro-
vided to interested or affected citi-
zens as the projects advance to the
construction stage. If there are ques-
tions or concerns regarding any of
these projects, please do not hesitate
to contact the City Engineering Divi-
sion at (785) 309-5725.
