BUSINESS:
CONSIDERATION AND APPROVAL OF
RESOLUTION 101716 ORDERING REPAIR OR REMOVAL OF UNSAFE, DANGEROUS & UNFIT
STRUCTURE AT 911 S. MOUND:
City
Attorney Ken Van Blaricum stated that a resolution setting a hearing date for
911 South Mound Street had been passed on September 06, 2016 and that hearing
was today. Mr. Van Blaricum pointed out
that the date to commence removal or repair to 911 South Mound Street was
November 01, 2016 and to be at completion by January 01, 2017. Mr. Van Blaricum commented that those dates
could be amended. Mr. Van Blaricum
stated that the City could repair or remove the structure from the property
after January 01, 2017 if it did not meet the requirements of the
resolution.
Commissioner
Skaggs questioned if we were aware that they had started repairs. Mr. Van Blaricum stated that he was aware of
that. Building Inspector Brad
Blankenship stated that he had been in contact with the mother of the owner and
she wanted to know what had to be done to bring it to City standards. Mr. Blankenship stated that there were three
rafters that had been compromised by weather and he had told the owner to fix
those. Mr. Blankenship commented that
they had done that. Mr. Blankenship
stated that the mother had sent money for repairs, so they got a permit, bought
plywood shingles and asphalt. Mr.
Blankenship added that they had also redone some of the front of the house and
cleaned up the back. Commissioner Skaggs
asked if they were hooked up to City water.
Mr. Blankenship stated that they did not have any utilities. Commissioner Skaggs questioned if they were
still hooked up to City sewer. Mr.
Blankenship stated that they were.
Commissioner Skaggs asked if they were going to live in there. Mr. Blankenship stated that he did not know. Commissioner Taylor commented that he thought
that a residence could not sit without utilities or at least operating. Mr. Blankenship stated that he did not know
about that, but he would have a whole lot that would need to be condemned. Commissioner Meyer asked who makes that
decision. Mr. Blankenship stated that he
did, but his job was to see if a structure was safe.
Mr.
Blankenship stated that this one was a danger to the public at the time;
however, they could fix the roof and be in compliance. Mayor Kumberg questioned if we were required
to make sure that the entire home was up to code. Mr. Van Blaricum stated that the ordinance
states that the structure is unsafe, dangerous and unfit for human
habitation. Mr. Van Blaricum commented
that that was vague, but that was why we have Mr. Blankenship. Commissioner Skaggs asked Mr. Blankenship if
he had been in the structure and if the floors were safe. Mr. Blankenship stated that the floors were
solid. Commissioner Skaggs commented
that he was told that there were drug issues with the property. Mr. Blankenship stated that that was for the
police department. Commissioner Skaggs
questioned if they were fixing it up for that type of activity. Mr. Van Blaricum stated that he was aware of
the allegations by rumor, but this was not the concern here. Commissioner Skaggs stated that this was a
concern of the neighbors.
Commissioner
Skaggs asked if the windows and doors were usable. Mr. Blankenship stated that they use a side
door to go out and the structure was secure so animals could not get in. Commissioner Meyer questioned if one exit was
a fire issue. Mr. Blankenship explained
that this structure was grandfathered in and there were no egress rules and
regulations. Mr. Blankenship added that egress
is if you are able to jump out of a bedroom window, which is the only place
required for egress, and you did not have to have a front door. Mr. Blankenship explained that you had to
have one door for egress or escape egress for bedrooms. Commissioner Skaggs asked if there was a
basement in the house. Mr. Blankenship
stated that there was. Commissioner
Skaggs questioned if you had to have egress out of the basement. Mr. Blankenship commented that there would be
a lot of houses we could look at that have little basement windows.
Commissioner
Skaggs stated that what they wanted was for him to lean on these people. Mr. Blankenship stated that he had been. Mr. Blankenship added that we could get into
the fact that they probably did not have any smoke detectors in there, but a
third of Pratt residences do not have them either. Commissioner Skaggs asked if he had been in
the bathroom facility. Mr. Blankenship stated
that he had not. Mr. Blankenship
explained that the back half of that had been reroofed and looked good. Mr. Blankenship stated that you could see the
rafters and they looked good also.
Commissioner Skaggs stated that there was a concern from the neighbors
that there was no water and no working bathroom. Mr. Blankenship stated that he understood that
but we were here for the structure itself.
Commissioner
Taylor stated that he thought that a house could only be declared habitable if
it was hooked up to utilities.
Commissioner Taylor stated that he was not trying to throw these people
out of their house, but questioned what they were doing with their waste.
Commissioner Hlavachick asked if they were living there. Mr. Blankenship stated that he had no
idea. Commissioner Taylor questioned if
there was anything in the ordinance that says that it had to be hooked up to
utilities in order for people to reside in it.
Commissioner Skaggs asked how far we could go with this. Commissioner Skaggs commented that he could
use it for storage with the roof repaired and questioned if his mother knew
there were more issues than just repairing the roof. Mayor Kumberg stated that the ordinance was
vague; however, questioned how we define what is habitable or not and what
pieces have to be in place to make it habitable. Mayor Kumberg added that it was not just a
roof, but they have to comply with every piece of the ordinance for it to be
habitable. Mr. Van Blaricum stated that
new construction has to jump through hoops and have a certificate of occupancy
and he did not think that the City ever goes beyond that. Mr. Van Blaricum added that there were
residents in Pratt that did not meet code somehow. Mayor Kumberg stated that we should follow
the ordinance to that effect. Mr. Van
Blaricum commented that he did not think there was an ordinance.
City
Manager Eckert stated that he had dealt with this type of situation before and
he had driven by this place. Mr. Eckert
commented that it was hard to keep the homeless out of an unoccupied house even
if they had no utilities. Mr. Eckert
stated that, if you were going to play by the rules, you had to play by them
all. Mr. Eckert commented that there was
a dumpster out front of this house for trash, but he was not sure if anyone was
living there or not. Mr. Eckert stated
that the owner was making an effort from what he had seen. Mr. Eckert added that we need to make
standards if there was nothing to address.
Mr. Van Blaricum commented that there was a problem with this structure
and this resolution was the remedy.
Commissioner Hlavachick stated that the owner was making an honest
effort. Mr. Blankenship stated that he
absolutely was and he was doing everything according to code. Commissioner Skaggs questioned if we could make
it our business to ask about his intentions beyond the roof and if he going to
be occupying this house and hook-up the utilities. Mr. Van Blaricum commented that we could
always ask those questions. Commissioner
Skaggs asked about what expenses the financing person was willing to give to bring
this to a livable condition. Commissioner
Taylor commented that that was a personal issue. Commissioner Taylor asked how many structures
did not have utilities because they did not want to pay them anymore. Commissioner
Taylor questioned if we allow that kind of thing. Mr. Blankenship stated that he did not know,
but we would need to have some type of ordinance that stated that they had to
have utilities. Commissioner Taylor
commented that he thought that we had an ordinance that stated that you had to
have utilities if you lived there.
Mr.
Blankenship stated that he had taken this as far as he could with this
structure. Mayor Kumberg agreed and
added that we needed to get an ordinance so that we had a tool that we could
use. Commissioner Skaggs questioned if,
when a structure gets in this condition in the future, we should be as specific
as repairing the roof or bringing it to a livable condition so we could inspect
other parts of the facility.
Commissioner Taylor stated that we needed to check the ordinances and see
if it states that a livable residence in the City had to have utilities or at
least sewer. Mr. Van Blaricum explained
that the standard of the unsafe structure was the structure. Commissioner Taylor stated that they state
dangerous and unfit, which was subjective.
Commissioner Taylor stated that Mr. Blankenship had stated that there
were other residences and he did not want to know where they were, but if we
were talking ten or a couple.
Commissioner Taylor added that we made needed to look at helping these
people as a community.
Mr.
Eckert stated that the City Manager from Lyons had come to Wellington to
discuss a program he had instituted to address this type of thing. Mr. Eckert explained that they take houses
that the owner could not afford to repair or tear down and they donate them to
the City. Mr. Eckert stated that they
then become part of a corporate land bank and they could sell or give the
property away; however, someone had to build a house on the property and live
in it for three years. Mr. Eckert added
that, if that does not happen, it goes back to the City. Mr. Eckert commented that there was a builder
in Hutchinson that builds different types of homes for $130,000 and people
could get into a home. Commissioner
Taylor stated that that was a little further than what we were talking about
tonight, but we need to dig into the ordinances and see if they had to have
utilities. Mr. Eckert stated that it
ties together with the ordinances that they have so it gives them options. Mayor Kumberg commented that the Commission
had had discussions about land banks and we were told that it would not be
feasible for a community this size. Mr.
Eckert stated that it had worked on communities smaller than Pratt and he asked
to take a couple of the staff up there to see it firsthand.
Mayor
Kumberg pointed out that the resolution states that they commence repairs by
November 1st and they had already started; therefore, he suggested
that the commencement date be October 19th and completion date be
November 30th. Commissioner
Skaggs questioned if they would have a problem getting done within a month or if
they would leave it as it is. Mr.
Blankenship stated that there were three guys working over there.
With no
more discussion, the following Resolution 101716 was then presented to the
Commission for their approval: RESOLUTION DECLARING STRUCTURE UNSAFE,
DANGEROUS AND UNFIT: ORDER FOR REPAIR OR
REMOVAL. Commissioner Meyer made a
motion to approve Resolution 101716 ordering the unsafe structure at 911 South
Mound Street to commence repair or removal on October 19th and
completion by November 30th.
The motion was seconded by Commissioner Taylor. Mr. Van Blaricum suggested that they amend
the motion to October 21st since the resolution would not be
published until Thursday the 20th.
Commissioner Meyer amended his motion to commence repair or removal to
October 21st. The amendment
was seconded by Commissioner Taylor and it passed with four approved votes and
one no vote from Commissioner Hlavachick.
CONSIDERATION AND APPROVAL
FOR THE WAIVER OF FEES AT THE MUNICIPAL BUILDING FOR THE GAMMA BETA SORORITY
CRAFT FAIR IN DECEMBER:
Ms.
Linda Broce informed the Commission that Gamma Beta Sorority was a non-profit
organization and they help other organizations such as the Hope Center and the
local schools. Ms. Broce requested that
the Commission consider waiving the rental fee for the Municipal Building for
their craft fair on December 3rd from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. With no discussion, Commissioner Hlavachick
made a motion to approve the waiver of fees for the Gamma Beta Sorority craft
fair on December 3rd. The
motion was seconded by Commissioner Skaggs and carried unanimously.
CONSIDERATION AND APPROVAL OF
RESOLUTION 101716A AUTHORIZING SPECIAL EVENT CATERING OF FOOD ON PUBLIC
PROPERTY:
Mr. Van
Blaricum stated that this resolution was in recognition of special events on
private property and requiring vendors who are caterers to get a permit to
cater and pay $25.00. Commissioner
Skaggs asked if something precipitated this.
Mr. Blankenship stated that it had many times. Public Works Director Rambat stated that this
would cover events such as a tennis tournament or a disc golf tournament. Mr. Rambat explained that the vendors had
found private property near the event and we needed a solution. Commissioner Skaggs commented that he was in
favor of doing this. Mr. Rambat stated
that they had made up a map with the core of the City being off limits to
caterers so that they would not hurt the local businesses. Commissioner Taylor questioned if they had to
pay the fee if they park on private property.
Mr. Rambat stated that they could do what they wanted on private
property. Mr. Blankenship stated that
Dollar General was private so Charle’s Pizza Taco could cater from their
parking lot with their permission. Mr.
Rambat added that it could be an issue if they were on the City right-of-way.
Commissioner
Skaggs stated that Wichita was starting a food truck ordinance and questioned
if we were getting to that point. Mr.
Rambat commented that the fee would be waived if it was a City sponsored
event. Mr. Eckert stated that this had
come about due to the City having to clean up after a food vendor had been on
City property and the City absorbing those costs. Mr. Van Blaricum clarified some questions
concerning regulating where a vendor could park by pointing out Section 2 of
Resolution 101716A where it states that this does not control or impact events
on school properties, churches or private property or other non-municipal
properties. Mr. Van Blaricum added that
there could be catered food sales in front of a merchant that had given
permission, but a vendor could not pooch on a local merchant.
Commissioner
Meyer asked if there was a form to fill out.
Mr. Blankenship stated that they did not have one yet. Commissioner Taylor questioned how this was
going to be handled during the Miss Kansas parade since vendors park in front
of businesses even if they are not invited.
Mr. Rambat stated that they should display their permit where it was easily
seen. Mayor Kumberg commented that he
appreciated the resolution, but it had to be enforced. Mr. Blankenship stated that he had been
getting calls about this.
The
following Resolution 101716A was then presented to the Commission for their
approval: A RESOLUTION TO AUTHORIZE SPECIAL EVENT CATERING OF FOOD ON PUBLIC
PROPERTY. Commissioner Taylor made a
motion to approve Resolution 101716A authorizing special event catering of food
on public property. The motion was
seconded by Commissioner Hlavachick.
Mayor Kumberg questioned if we needed to add that it was not for City
sponsored events. Mr. Eckert stated that
we should have that in there and he also suggested changing the effective date
to January 1st so there was time to get the word out. Commissioner Meyer questioned if you had to
get a permit if you were having a family reunion catered. Mr. Van Blaricum stated that you would not
need a permit because they would not be a vendor. Commissioner Meyer clarified that selling
food was catering. Mr. Van Blaricum
stated that that was correct and they should be State approved. Commissioner Taylor amended his motion to
approve the amended addition and the effective date of January 1st. Commissioner Hlavachick seconded the
motion. Mr. Van Blaricum suggested
bringing this resolution back to the next meeting with these changes. Mayor Kumberg stated that Resolution 101716A
would be tabled until November 7th so that the City Attorney could
add to it and change the effective date.
CONSIDERATION AND APPROVAL OF
PELICAN AGREEMENT WITH THE HISTORICAL SOCIETY:
Mr. Van
Blaricum stated that this was a simple one page agreement that gives the City
something to file and to have it in writing that the Pelican Sculpture remains
the property of the City even though it would be at the Historical
Society. Commissioner Hlavachick
questioned if we assume that that includes the four fish. Mr. Van Blaricum stated that he could add that
and have it at the next meeting. Mr.
Rambat added that there was also some heavy limestone that was part of the
sculpture also. Mayor Kumberg asked if
we had appropriate insurance coverage on the sculpture. City Clerk Kramer stated that it was insured
for $100,000 until the City had an appraisal done.
CONSIDERATION AND APPROVAL OF
BID FOR ONE ABB, R-MAG CIRCUIT BREAKER:
In the
absence of Director of Electric Utilities Huber, Energy Agent Kreutzer stated
that this breaker was for the substation by the Power Plant. Mr. Kreutzer commented that this would
replace the one from two years ago.
Commissioner Meyer asked if this had been budgeted for. Finance Director Garten stated that it
was. Commissioner Skaggs made a motion
to approve the only bid received for the circuit breaker from Stanion Wholesale
Electric Company in the amount of $29,920.51, which included tax. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Meyer
and carried unanimously.

Mr. Van
Blaricum stated that this was one more step in making the City more
professional and it was needed to be in compliance with FEMA and the
floodplain. Mr. Blankenship commented
that we had to do the international building code for each and every one of
these so that we continue to get a discount on flood insurance.
With
no further discussion, the following ordinances were presented to the

and Ordinance 1613 pertaining to the International Building Codes. The motion was seconded by Commissioner

Blankenship pointed out that the National Electric Code was the 2014 Edition,
because they did not go by the same dates as the building codes.

Public
Works:

KDWPT:
Public
Works Director Rambat stated that Water Superintendent Clay and he had met with
Wildlife and Parks about hooking onto City water. Mr. Rambat commented that we were waiting for
the engineering plans to see whether they take the south route tying in around
Sixth Street or tie onto our line under the Fincham Road entrance. Mr. Rambat stated that they were interested
in building their water supply for their structures for drinking water only,
because they have their own fire protection in place. Mr. Rambat commented that there could be some
buildings that would require backflow preventers, but they will come back to us
with their plans. Mr. Rambat explained
that KDWPT would fund this when we were both comfortable with the plan;
however, we would take over the line to collect the water samples for the State. Mr. Rambat stated that this was in our best
interest so that we can keep them in Pratt.
Commissioner
Skaggs commented that this could be a valuable water source if the City were to
grow to the east. Mr. Rambat stated that
their intent was to construct a 4” line with an inlying coronation station to
keep the residual up with a 2” line next to it.
Mr. Rambat stated that he would like to see them take the Wal-Mart east
route if we would chose to extend past Straub International at our
expense. Mr. Rambat added that they were
in the City limits and we would be able to accommodate them. Mr. Rambat commented that we would be
interested in updating the line from a 4” to an 8” and we would pay them the
difference. Mayor Kumberg questioned if
anyone would be able to hook onto it if they built out there. Mr. Rambat stated that their intention was to
meet their needs. Mr. Rambat added that
this was an extension of our system, but we were not obligated to extend it
outside of the City limits. Mayor Kumberg
asked how far out this might be. Mr.
Rambat stated that it could be a month or so before we see their plans.
·
Parking lot:
Mr. Rambat
stated that the street department had gotten the coal mix down in the employee
parking lot and he would be going to Hutchinson for the concrete parking
blocks. Mr. Rambat explained that the parking lot was one way and you would
leave going either direction in the alley.
Mr. Rambat added that the blocks would be in the parking lot straight
with angle parking and that would make it easier to clear away any snow.
·

Mr. Rambat
stated that Arensdorf Construction would be getting on about four or five
projects and they would be fixing the curbs at Haskins School and Lanterman
Motors.
·

Skaggs asked if we had heard anything about the speed limit changes. Mr. Rambat stated that he had not.
·
Leaning tombstones:
Commissioner
Skaggs stated that he had been out at the cemetery and noticed that there were
a lot of leaning tombstones and he questioned who fixes those. Mr. Rambat stated that it was the owners of

businesses that did that type of work in town.

plan with specifics. Commissioner Meyer
thanked Mr. Pinkall for making this happen.
Mr. Pinkall questioned whether the agreement should be signed by the
City Manager or the Mayor. Commissioner
Taylor commented that it would be better to have the City Manager if there were
going to be several phases. Mr. Pinkall
stated that this would go through 2018 and they would apply again. Mr. Pinkall explained that we could apply for
the grants up to a total of $900,000.
Finance Department:
·
League dues:
Finance
Director Garten stated that she had emailed the Commissioners several years of
dues paid to the League so that they had that information. Ms. Garten commented that they had discussed
that at the League meeting and there were many that were concerned that the
dues were set after the budget was set.
Ms. Garten added that they had decided that they would let everyone know
before June. Commissioner Meyer asked
what being a member does for us. Ms.
Garten stated that we get thirteen subscriptions to the Kansas Government
Journal, availability of the League’s staff, trainings with a fee and they help
with hiring and firing, and just general knowledge. Ms. Garten added that they also lobby for
Cities and were up at the State capital all the time. Mayor Kumberg commented that they also have a
large amount of sample ordinances for us to look at.
