2003 - Fall atyaf The & Salina Dear Salina Citizens: The City of Salina is pleased to present to you the Fall 2003 edition of The Salina Citizen. We hope this issue not only helps inform you in regard to City projects, but stimulates your interest and participation in local government. The City Commission and members of the City staff encourage you to ask ques- tions and to make your views known. This is an exciting and challenging time for our community. We look forward to hear- ing from you and working with you to meet the chal- lenges ahead. Sincerely, Salina City Commission ~ Inside: 2 2004 BUDGET A report from your city government Citizen Mobile Data Computers High- Tech Public Safety As the officer waits in traffic, he enters to send encrypted messages from car to license plate numbers from nearby cars into car, car to group, and car to dispatch. his mobile data computer.

In December of 2002, following years of study and careful consideration, the gov- eming bodies of Salina and Saline County approved a request to utilize 911 funds to install mobile computers in Salina Police De- partment, Salina Fire/EMS, and Saline County Sheriffs Office vehicles. This long awaited and much anticipated project is now nearing implementation. When fully operational, mobile computing will be extended to the law enforcement mobile office, and will put critical public safety information directly at officers' fin- gertips. This high-tech information pipeline will link all equipped police cruisers to na- tional, state and local law enforcement da- tabases, providing officers in the field with direct access to the Kansas Criminal Justice Information System (KCJIS), Kansas Hot Files, and the National Crime Information Center (NCIC). This access includes the ability to check drivers' licenses, motor ve- hicle registration, arrest warrants, regis- tered sex offenders, and orders of protec- tion. NCICcheckswillquicklyidentifywanted persons, missing children, stolen vehicles, stolen guns, and stolen property. Mobile computing allows for voiceless dispatch of public safety units when neces- sary, and provides officers with the ability 5 G.I.S. ON THE WEB Fall 2003 hicle Location (AVL) and Field Reporting is scheduled for future installation. AVL will decrease critical response times by ensur- ing that the closest, appropriate unit is dis- patched to emergencies. Field reporting will permit officers to complete reports in the field and transmit the data electronically without the delay associated with complet- ing and processing paper reports. While there are many more public safety benefits associated with this technology that are beyond the scope of this article, one of the major benefits identified is the reduc- tion in the workload of police dispatchers staffing Salina's 911-dispatch center, en- abling them to be even more productive. Mobile data computers will connect patrol cars directly to the information they need - without tying up dispatchers on voice radio. This will free dispatchers and allow them to devote additional time and attention to better handle emergency and other priority calls. Enhanced public safety, however, is the greatest value added benefit of the mobile computing project. By equipping our emer- gency personnel with the high-tech tools needed to meet ever increasing public safety demands, we increase their effectiveness and efficiency, which enhances both our emergency and non-emergency response capabilities. 7 PLAN FOR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS The Salina Citizen 2. 2004 City Budget - Conservative But Stable After months of preparation and dis- cussion, the Salina City Commission adopted the 2004 annual bUdget on Au- gust 11, 2003. The adopted 2004 budget is the result of a multi-month process in which staff worked diligently to identify and meet the community's highest priority needs. This staff work results in the City Manager's proposed budget that is pre- sented to the City Commission in early July. The City Commission then holds several study sessions in which they review the proposed budget. For the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2004, total expenditures are expected to be approximately $53 million. This compares estimated expenditures of $52.4 million for 2003. The 2004 bUdget consists of $4.7 million for capital improvement ex- penses, compared to $16.4 million for capital outlay in 2003. The adopted budget for 2004 emphasizes continuation of our current high service levels, while still main- taining the City's current stabilized prop- erty tax levy. 2004 Budaet Hlahliahts . Property/ tax mill levy will re- main the same as the pre- vious year. At 24.092 mills, Salina continues to have one of the lowest mill levy rates among comparable cities in Kansas. In fact, the City portion of the over- all mill levy has not increased for 22 years. . All funds of the City of Salina are budgeted to meet established fiscal targets and to comply with Governing Body established City Financial Policies. . Modest user fee Increases In Emergency Medical Services, Utilities and Sanitation will take effect in late 2003. Given the .soft" local economy and the state's continuing budget problems, 2004 will be a challenging year. None- theless, we expect the City to maintain its' strong financial position. As always, the focus of this bUdget is to assure that taxpayers' money is spent wisely and used to invest in the future of our commu- nity. As the work of government contin- ues to grow in complexity, we strive to be accessible and responsive. We endeavor to acknowledge the values and needs of citizens, create opportunities to overcome challenges, and enhance life in our com- munity. The adopted budget reflects our commitment to the citizens of Salina to ensure the wise allocation of public re- sources. With this budget, the City can see rewards from past efforts and a vision of the City's future. The City of Salina annually pre- pares a Budget-in-Brief document as a short, easy to understand over- view of the City's budget. The. 2004 Budget-in-Brief will be available in late December. For a copy of the 2004 Budget-in-Brief, contact the City Manager's Office at (785) 309-5700, or visit the City's website. The New Municipal Court - Open for Business In late 2000, the City began efforts to improve physical deficiencies that impacted the overall quality of services provided by the Munidpal Court. In August 2003, this vision became a reality, as the new Municipal Court opened for business. Completed at a cost of $1.5 million, the new fadlity will provide the following benefits to those that work in and visit the Munldpal Court: .y Elimination of overcrowded lobby and courtroom; .y Better separation of defendants, witnesses and victims to improve both safety and convenience; .y Expanded basement storage area for court files and evidence; .y A new video/audio system for arraign- ments. This eliminates the need to transfer prisoners to. court from the County jail. .y Increased traffic safety and parking convenience through a convenient drop-off area, fully accessible parking stalls, and the elimination of dangerous backing movements onto a public street; .y Greater staff efficiency from a better functional layout; .y More privacy for attomey-client con- versatlons; and .y Significant improvements to the aesthe- tic appearance of the building through landscaping enhancements and a pub- lic art element. The new Municipal Court contains a judge's office and separate public service windows for the court clerk and the city prosecutor's office. The second floor of the law enforcement center will be converted to much-needed space for the Police Depart- ment. This Is the area formerly used by the Municipal Court. There isstill work remaining on the exterior of the building. This work, including the pUblic art project and a wrought- Iron fence between the Law Enforcement Center and the Salina Senior Center, should be complete by the end of October. Once again, the City would like to express our appreciation to the Saline County Sheriffs Office, the Emergency Management Depart- ment and Leisure Years Center for their patience and understanding. The project would not have been successful without the support of those agencies. >~ /' Fall 2003 3 Puppets On Parade Salina Fire Department adds a little "Puppet Pizzazz" to the Salina Public Library's Summer Reading Party!

( Water Watch - ~ The City of Salina has undertaken a number of steps throughout the years to ensure a dependable water supply. One particular step was the adoption of a Munici- pal Water Conservation Plan in 1997. Among other issues, the Plan contains a drought and emergency contingency provision. The City Manager declared a "Water Watch" on June 5, 2003. This is Stage 1 of the City's Water Conservation Plan. In late July 2003, Govemor Sebelius de- clared a "Drought Watch" in Saline County. The Drought Watch was issued because "there is every indication that the present drought conditions will not abate in the near future" and because "these drought condi- tions may in fact become more severe." During the summer of 2003, less than aver- age rainfall combined with seasonally hot temperatures increased the potential for both short-term and long-term water supply problems. According to various weather forecasting groups, the long-term outlook continues to predict less than average to average amounts of precipitation for this area. The lack of rain is having a c;lirect impact on the Smoky Hill River and the City's water wells. For example, both the rate of flow in the Smoky Hill River and the groundwater levels in the City's water wells continue to filled the air. With the help of two of the Library's teen volunteers, the puppet pro- gram was a success. Three programs were performed teach- ing children about fire safety including: . Crawling Low Under Smoke . Don't Play With Matches . Stop, Drop and Roll. About 700 children and parents were clapping and singing along. The Puppet Program is new to the Fire Department. It is intended to be used for preschool age children. Volunteers are being trained to work the puppets behind the fire house stage. The puppets were part of Help Us Conserve decrease, while citywide water usage con- tinues to rise. Because of these conditions, the City of Salina has established a goal of reducing citywide water usage by 20% in September and October. This is an aggressive goal that will require significant community support. The City of Salina is taking a leadership role in the water usage reduction efforts. City staff has identified high, medium, and low priority areas for watering reductions. Al- though a few areas remain on a normal watering schedule, approximately 85% of the City facilities are on reduced or discon- tinued watering schedules. In addition to reducing water usage, the City is asking our citizens to utilize other water conservation practices. Some simple water conservation practices include: = Watering the lawn before 8 a.m. and after 7 p.m. This will increase the amount of water absorbed by plants and soil and reduce the amount that evaporates. = Avoid fine mist sprinklers as they in- crease evaporation, and avoid water- ing during windy weather. = Deep soak the lawn. Water your lawn and garden once a week and allow the water to deep soak down to the a grant that the Salina Fire Department re- ceived from the Salina Community Founda- tion. The fire safety program will be used in local child care facilities. Sparky the fire safe dog dotted the grounds, occasionally giving out fire safety tricks and trinkets. ~-~) 1 ". ~..J ~ b! roots. ~ = Check regularly for pipe, toilet, and faucet leaks. = Install water-saving showerheads and toilets. = Make sure you are watering the grass and not the street or sidewalk. =. Turn off the water when shaving or brushing your teeth. = Run dishwashers and washing mach- ines with full loads. We recognize that reductions in water usage will require a sacrifice for our citi- zens. However, the City is not asking our citizens to do anything that we are not .' prepared to do ourselves. We are not in any kind of water crisis, but it would be irrespon- sible of the City to ignore the current situa- tion. Because we do not believe that we are in any kind of crisis level, we are reluctant to impose any type of mandatory limits or re- strictions at this point. We believe that it is prudent to continue with voluntary efforts, especially atthe City-facility level. At the end of October, we will evaluate what effect the community's voluntary water reduction ef- forts have had. We are hopeful that the voluntary efforts will work. However, if the voluntary efforts do not work, we will have to reevaluate our strategy for 2004.

The Arts Infusion Program works with teachers, artists and students to implement art applications within grades 2 through 6, and in secondary schools. In 2003, the Arts Infusion Program attained over 42,000 student contacts, involving 217 artists and 1,382 teachers and family members in USD 305. A wide variety of local artists--with presentations ranging from characters in history like Coronado and Sacagawea, to explorations in writing, interpretation of literature through drama, and cultural con- nections made through visual art and storytelling--appear in classrooms. Resi- dency artists come from throughout the nation to share their artistry and teaching skills. Artists in Residence include: sto- rytellers Pricilla Howe and Queen Nur; the cello/guitjo duo "Acoustic Eidolon"; actor Tyrees Allen; folk musician Kelly Werts; and dancer Marion Willis. Significant achievements for 2003 in- cluded the implementation of a four-month dance residency, funded by the Earl Bane Foundation, featuring dancer Marion Willis III from Chicago. During the residency, Willis achieved a remarkable number of student contacts, with activities ranging from choreography for the South High production of "West Side Story" to work- ing with the step team at St. John's Baptist Church. ,4 '- \ \ Salina Arts and Humanities Commission's grant application to the Kan- sas Arts Commission for 2004 was again rated number one in the State of Kansas.

The City of Salina received th is award "for their dedicated efforts to improve access and independence for all people with disabilities." Salina was nominated for the award by OCCK, Inc. The City of Salina has a long and progressive history of improving ac- cess for people with disabilities. The Salina City Commission established the Accessibility Advisory Board in Mayor Jilka proudly accepts the community award from Sidney Hays. OCCK representative. late 1989, even before the Americans with DisabilitiesAct became a formal law. TheAccessibilityAdvisoryBoard advises the City Commission on mat- ters relating to accessibility. In addi- tion to a formal advisory board, the 2004 budget contains a significant amount of money for accessibility projects such as improving sidewalks and installing curb ramps. The City strongly believes in pro- viding accessible services for all citi- zens and was proud to accept the Community Award from the Kansas Disability Caucus. -. < Curbside Recycling - 2004 Pilot Program 12 month test period planned ~ The Salina City Commission has given preliminary approval for a lim- ited residential trial program involv- ing curbside collection of recyclables for up to 1,000 Salina homes. The program would be operated as a service of the City's Sanitation Division and would be open only to customers currently being served by the City for resi- dential trash pickup. The City will be selecting house- holds from a listing of those inter- ested in volunteering for this pilot program. If your household is eli- gible (on City Sanitation) and inter- ested, you may wish to apply as noted in this article. Expressions of interest will be accepted by the City until Friday, November 14, 2003, with notifications by year- end 2003. Households will not be selected on a "first come/first served" basis. City staff will sort the applications by trash pickup day, and attempt to conduct the program throughout the City. If more than 1,000 appli- cations are received, or if too many are received for one area, a random drawing process may be used. Apply the pilot program later than November 14, 2003 (1) Applying over the internet at wwwci.sfffina.ks.us (This method saves the City money.) or (2) Complete and mail the post- age-paid postcard included with this newsletter. The pilot program costs will be absorbed by the City's Sanitation and Solid Waste Funds. No gen- eral tax dollars will be used, and the volunteer households will not be charged during the pilot pro- gram. However, in lieu of a user fee, participating households will agree to actively participate and provide feedback on their experi- ences and opinions during the one- year trial program. This informa- tion will be used by the City, along with cost and budget analysis, to help determine whether and how a more permanent voluntary "fee for service" curbside recycling program could be implemented during 2005. The pilot program would involve the City collecting residential recyclables at the curbside on the regular trash day, with the cus- tomer using an 18-gallon container. Those recyclables will be taken to Images Recycling Center in down- town Salina for processing. City government wi!1 keep the community informed by regular sta- tus reports during the pilot pro- gram. Our goal is to collect excel- lent, factual information on costs and benefits, to help determine the future direction of re.cycling in Salina.

Traffic actuated signals detect vehicles (including bicycles) and adjust the timing to optimize traffic flow at the intersection. Most of the new traffic signal systems in Salina are traffic-actuated signals. The City of Salina Department of Engineering makes a special effort to ensure that traffic signals meet the required standards and improve the safety of traffic flow within the City. Before installing a traffic signal at an intersection, the Department of Engineering thoroughlyexamines: TRAFFIC SIGNALS Each month, the City of Salina receives many inquiries about in- stalling traffic signals to reduce speeding in a particular area. Al- though this is understandable, re- search shows that there are usually more effective ways to reduce speed- ing. The primary purpose of traffic signals is to assign right-of-way at an intersection. A well designed and installed traffic signal installation will provide for orderly traffic movement. reduce certain types of accidents, permit motorists to safely cross or enter the other traffic stream. and allow safe pedestrian movement. The City has two types of traffic signals: fixed-time signals and traf- fic actuated signals. Fixed-time sig- nals are set for average conditions and change at predetermined time " '\ ,..I . The amountofvehicle and ped- estrian traffic in each direction. . The need to provide gaps in traffic on the major traffic street so that side street vehicles and pedestrians may cross. . Special conditions such as hills and curves. . The accident history of the inter- section. The City has installed numerous traffic signals in the past few years. These signals are installed using vari- ous funding sources, including gaso- line tax dollars, development fees, and special assessments. A new traffic signal costs $65,000 to $100,000 and the installation of traffic signals must be carefully considered. If you have questions, requests, or suggestions concerning traffic issues, please contact the Department of Engineering and General Services at 309-5725. The Salina Citizen 8 HAZARDOUS MATERIAL INCIDENTS: BETTER RESPONSE The Salina Fire Department is developing its Hazardous Material Response Team to improve its response capabilities. In con- junction with the State of Kansas Fire Marshall's Office, the department hosted a hazardous materials technician class this past year. The department sent 23 of its personnel to this class. After successful completion of the technician class, students were presented with the International Fire Service Accreditation Congress (IFSAC) cer- tification. In addition to the hazardous materials class, the department received several grants through the United States Department of Justice. These grants allowed the depart- ment to purchase hazardous material en- capsulated suits and intricate monitoring equipment for sensing the presence of a hazardous material. A major equipment acquisition for the department was a 3-line decontamination shelter. This shelter gives the Fire Department the capability of decon- taminating ambulatory and. non-ambulatory persons. The department demonstrated the capability of the decontamination shelter to the City/County Bio Terrorism Committee on September 19th at Fire Station #1. In the future, the Fire Department hopes to further upgrade its ability to combat hazard- ous material threats by purchasing a hazard- ous material response vehicle. The depart- ment is working on specifications and fund- ing for a hazardous material response ve- hicle. This vehicle would possess compart- ment storage space for all equipment and an Incident Command Center. We're at Your Service In order to serve you better, City staff maintains a computer- ized Citizen Service Request (CSR) system. This system assists staff in expediting and effectively responding to citizen concerns. If you have questions or service requests, please con- tact the City Manager's office at 309-5700.
