NEW BUSINESS

Water: Policy

City Clerk Amy Burton presented the proposed revisions to the emergency plan for the water supply system.  The plan has been updated for well supply data and contact information for key personnel.  Council member Bob Redger asked Ms. Burton to add contact information for the vendors listed in Section V.  Council member Dena Patee moved to approve the 2018 Public Water Supply Emergency Operating Plan as revised with the added contact information.  Council member Bret Andries seconded the motion.  The motion carried 6-0.

Special Machinery: Financial

City Clerk Amy Burton discussed the benefits and drawbacks of the General Fund departments (Police, Fire, Park/Cemetery, and Swimming Pool) transferring any excess budget authority to the Special Machinery Fund.  By transferring the money to the Special Machinery Fund, those funds can be held for future equipment purchases, thus possibly reducing a future transfer or mill levy increase to help fund those needs.  On the other hand, the transfer moves “unrestricted” monies in the General Fund to a “restricted” status within the Special Machinery Fund.  Council member Jolene Niernberger moved and Council member Bob Redger seconded a motion to transfer 75% of the General Fund departments’ excess budget authority to the Special Machinery Fund.  The motion carried 6-0.

City Clerk

City Clerk Amy Burton reviewed the draft minutes from the recent Tourism and Safety Committee meetings.  The November Health Insurance Savings Report was reviewed as well as the November financial statements consisting of the Statement of Accounts, Treasurer’s Report, and Security Deposit Worksheet.

General Government: Financial

With interest rates rising, Ms. Burton inquired if Council wished to leave the interest earnings in the General Fund or distribute to each fund based on their respective cash balances.  Council member Bob Redger moved to leave the interest earnings in the General Fund until the interest rate is greater than 1%, then to revisit a possible distribution.  Council member Bret Andries seconded the motion.  Upon a call for the vote, Council members Bret Andries, Jolene Niernberger, and Bob Redger voted in favor of the motion, and Council members Holly Aschenbrenner, Susan Eaton and Dena Patee voted opposed.  The Mayor voted in favor of the motion; therefore, the motion carried 4-3.

It wasn’t much, but it counts. Hays did have a white Christmas this year.

According to official statistics from the K-State Agricultural Research Center, 0.06 inches of snow fell in Hays Sun., Dec. 24. The cold temperatures kept some of the snow on the ground for Christmas Day. The overnight low was 5 degrees and the high Mon., Dec. 25 was 25 degrees.

The snow was wet, yielding 0.04 inches of precipitation, the first precipitation to fall in December.

To date, Hays has received 28.10 inches of precipitation in 2017. The snow season has yielded 2.1 inches of the white stuff.

Tuesday’s daytime high will be even colder with a forecast of just 11 degrees. Wind chill values will dip as low as -11 degrees.

Some older residents of Hays got an early taste of the holidays this week thanks to some students at Roosevelt Elementary School.

The 5th grade students in Suzanne Leikam’s class made holiday mints Wednesday morning to be included with Thursday’s home-delivered meals for participants in the Homestead Nutrition Program in Hays.

Some of the winter white mints were decorated with red or green sprinkles.

The Hays program, one of 28 sites served by the Homestead Nutrition Project, serves approximately 150 meals each day to seniors aged 60 and older.

“Home-delivered recipients are considered homebound and often have no family. This is a way for the kids of the community to really brighten their day and give back to the community,” said Kristen Schmidt, Nutrition Director for the Homestead Nutrition Project with the Northwest Kansas Area Agency on Aging.

“The same class also did something similar for the Thanksgiving holiday,” Schmidt added. “They sent treats, a bag full of “smores,” to the Hays homebound recipients at that time. The seniors were thankful and some even sent thank-you cards as a token of appreciation.”

Saturday, Dec. 23, is expected to be the second busiest shopping day of the holiday season other than Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving.

It’s an opportunity for criminals to ruin Christmas for you and your family.

Hays Police Lieutenant Brandon Wright offers some holiday shopping safety tips:

• Shop with a friend, especially if you’re going to an unfamiliar place.
• Shop during daylight hours or park in well-lit areas.
• Lock car doors and windows.
• Don’t leave packages or valuables in sight; use your trunk or cover the items.
• Don’t flash a lot of cash.
• Be aware of your surroundings and report suspicious activity or people.
• Have your keys ready when approaching your vehicle.
• Once home with your gifts, keep your house locked.
• Be alert for package deliveries and use tracking information.
• Monitor your financial accounts and credit report for unauthorized use.

Wright notes these tips are good reminders for year-round shopping security.

The developer of a proposed Hilton Garden Inn and Convention Center on a currently-undeveloped site west of the Hays Walmart is asking for an incentive package from the city.

It would include a TIF (Tax Increment Financing district), CID (Community Improvement District), and retention of the onsite Transient Guest Tax (TGT), according to Assistant City Manager Jacob Wood.

“This is the start of a long series of items for the city commission to discuss,” Wood said. “You’ll see items probably for the next three or four months.”

“The development of a TIF is a very lengthy process, something that is dictated by state law. There’ll be a lot of items coming forward with that.”

A Tax Increment Financing district allows a developer to capture the increase in property taxes.

“It’s a clear brown field now. They come in and build. As the property taxes increase, they’ll be able to take that increment, that increase, and put it back towards financing purchases. Those would be infrastructure, the road, sewer, parking lots, the building structure, that sort of thing,” Wood explained.

The Transient Guest Tax retention would allow the developer to keep any guest tax collected at their facility. “It’s intended to go back into the overhead and maintenance upkeep of the convention facility. Those facilities typically don’t make a lot of money. In order to make the numbers work, they need that additional incentive.”

The TGT for Hays motels is five percent, which is “low compared to most other Kansas towns,” Wood said. The TFT is normally collected by the city and used in the Convention and Visitors Bureau (CVB) for marketing and promotion of Hays.

The CID will come forward at a later date. It’s an additional sales tax on top of the current sales tax that will go back into paying for the infrastructure cost.

The Hilton Garden Inn will have 100 beds and contain a small restaurant and bar. It would employ the equivalent of about 35 full-time employees.

Ground could be broken as soon as April on the new $12 million to $14 million facility with the center opening in 12 to 14 months, developer Raju Sheth said.

City commissioners will review the incentive package request during their work session this evening. It starts at 6:30 p.m. in Hays City Hall, 1507 Main.

The complete Dec. 21 agenda may be seen here.

Smoke alarms that are properly installed and maintained play a vital role in reducing fire deaths and injuries. If there is a fire in your home, smoke spreads fast and you need smoke alarms to give you time to get out.

For local residents who may not be able to afford smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, the Hays Fire Department can provide them, according to Chief Gary Brown.

“The HFD installs no-cost smoke alarms and carbon monoxide alarms for persons on fixed incomes or who may otherwise not be able to afford this protection,” Brown said. “For people with limited mobility but who can afford to buy the alarms, we will send firefighters out to install those for people or to change batteries, whatever we need to do to make you safe.”

For more information, call the Hays Fire Department at 785-628-7330.

REPORTS FROM CITY OFFICIALS

Public Works

Mr. Scheuerman reviewed suggested procedures to test the City’s fire hydrants. Water Operator John Leiker has performed flow tests on some of the hydrants and found that rocks and other debris can get caught in the screen, thus reducing the flow of the fire hydrant. Once the items were cleared, the hydrants tested much higher again. The results of the flow tests will also vary depending on the time of day the tests are performed, due to residents possibly being away from home. Mr. Scheuerman believes it is important to keep the Fire Department involved with the flow tests of the hydrants. Council suggested tabling further discussion until Fire Chief Dustin Vine is present.

Mr. Scheuerman praised his staff and suggested Council offer encouragement to employees when they see them do a good job. He stated that the City’s best assets are its employees and they work well together to complete projects.

Council member Bob Redger inquired what the City could do to update the 2010 water maps.

Mayor Update and Announcements

Mayor David McDaniel reminded Council that there will be three regular meetings in January due to the new election laws. The meeting on January 8th will simply be to install the newly elected officials.

Mayor McDaniel also reminded Council that it is not appropriate to ask City employees to perform tasks at the direction of the Council member. The item either needs to be discussed in open session, or have a work order completed in the Clerk’s office.
