City of Goddard
City Council Meeting
October 19, 2026

TO:
SUBJECT:
PREPARED BY:
AGENDA:

Mayor and City Council
City of Goddard AI Policy
Assistant to the City Manager, Josiah Watney
Unfinished Business

Background: Artificial intelligence (AI) tools have quickly become part of everyday software.
Generative AI assistants, meeting transcription services, and AI features built into products the
City already uses (such as Microsoft 365) are now available to staff, often by default. These
tools, and other dedicated AI platforms, offer substantial opportunities to save time, improve city
services, and open new opportunities for staff to serve the city. However, they also raise
questions about data security, open records, accuracy, and accountability that the City does not
currently address in any written policy.
To provide clear direction before AI use expands further, staff developed a City of Goddard AI
Policy using model guidance from the GovAI Coalition, a national network of public agencies
working to use AI responsibly for the public good, and with consultation from ImagineIT and the
City Attorney. The draft policy was presented to City Council on October 5th for review and
comment.
Analysis: The following changes have been made to the policy since October 5th:
•
•

•
•

•
•

The AI Policy is applicable to members of City boards and commissions when using AI
systems in connection with City business.
Spelling, grammar, and predictive text features; spam and malware filtering; internet
search engines; navigation and mapping applications; and similar features built into
software the City has otherwise approved for use do not fall under the purview of the
policy, unless used to generate substantive work product or to process non-public
information.
Staff may not accept online terms of service, click-through agreements, or similar terms
on behalf of the City for an AI system, unless the AI system has been approved.
AI systems used by the Police Department require consultation with the Chief of Police
and the City Attorney and must comply with the CJIS Security Policy. AI usage must be
reviewed and corrected. AI usage must be disclosed and records retained as legally
necessary.
AI shall not be used as the sole or primary basis for hiring, promotion, discipline, or
termination decisions, or to screen or rank applicants or employees, without human
review of each decision.
Creating or distributing AI-generated images, audio, or video depicting a real person,
including a City official or employee, without that person’s consent, or AI-generated
content that could reasonably be mistaken for a real event or an official City statement is
a prohibited use.

•
•

City staff shall not delete AI prompts, outputs, transcripts, or recordings except as the
applicable retention schedule permits. A litigation hold issued by the City Attorney
applies to AI prompts, outputs, transcripts, recordings, and related data.
Other non-substantive changes to wording, scope, and process.

Financial: Future AI software will be procured through existing budgets and the City’s standard
IT procurement process.
Legal Considerations: AI Policy has received final legal review from the City Attorney.
Recommendations/Actions: It is recommended the City Council: Move to approve the
City of Goddard AI Policy. (Voice Vote)
Attachments: City of Goddard AI Policy

Artificial Intelligence (AI) Policy
City of Goddard
I.

Purpose

This policy establishes a comprehensive, yet flexible, governance structure for AI
systems used by, or on behalf of, the City of Goddard. This policy enables the City of
Goddard to use AI systems for the benefit of the community while safeguarding against
potential harms.
The key objectives of the AI Policy are to:
•

•

•
•
•
•
•
•

Provide guidance that is clear, easy to follow, and supports decision-making for the
City Council and staff. “Staff” means employees, interns, and volunteers who may be
purchasing, configuring, developing, operating, or maintaining the City of Goddard’s
AI systems or leveraging AI systems to provide services to the City of Goddard, along
with external partners, consultants and contractors who are given access to a City AI
system.
Ensure that when using AI systems, the City of Goddard or those operating on its
behalf, adhere to the Guiding Principles that represent values with regards to how
AI systems are purchased, configured, developed, operated, or maintained.

Define roles and responsibilities related to the City of Goddard’s usage of AI
systems.

Establish and maintain processes to assess and manage risks and values presented
by AI systems used or considered for use by the City of Goddard.

Align the governance of AI systems with existing technology and privacy measures
in accordance with the City’s Personnel Policy and the City’s insurance policies.
Define prohibited uses of AI systems;

Establish “sunset” procedures to safely retire AI systems that no longer meet the
needs of the City of Goddard;
Define how AI systems may be used for legitimate City of Goddard purposes in
accordance with applicable local, state, and federal laws, and existing City of
Goddard policies.

The City of Goddard defines “artificial intelligence” or “AI” to be a machine-based system
that can, for a given set of human-defined objectives, make predictions, recommendations,

or decisions influencing real or virtual environments. 1 AI systems use machine- and
human-based inputs to perceive real and virtual environments; abstract such perceptions
into models through analysis in an automated manner; and use model inference to
formulate options for information or action.
The City of Goddard defines an “AI system” to be any data system, software, hardware,
application, tool, or utility that operates in whole or in part using AI, subject to the
exclusions in Section XII.

II.

Scope

This policy applies to:

1. All AI systems deployed by the City of Goddard or on the City of Goddard’s behalf;
2. City of Goddard Staff, as defined in Section I; and

3. Members of the City Council and of City boards and commissions, as to Sections VII
and IX, when using AI systems in connection with City business.

III.

Guiding Principles for Responsible AI Systems

These principles describe the City of Goddard’s values with regards to how AI systems
are purchased, configured, developed, operated, or maintained. These principles guide
the City’s exercise of discretion. They are not performance standards and do not create
any right, duty, or standard of care enforceable by any person.

1. Human-Centered Design: AI systems are developed and deployed with a humancentered approach that evaluates AI powered services for their impact on the public.
2. Security & Safety: AI systems maintain confidentiality, integrity, and availability
through safeguards that prevent unauthorized access and use. Implementation of AI
systems is reliable and safe, and minimizes risks to individuals, society, and the
environment.
3. Privacy: Privacy is preserved in all AI systems by safeguarding personally
identifiable information (PII) and sensitive data from unauthorized access,
disclosure, and manipulation.

4. Transparency: The purpose and use of AI systems is proactively communicated
and disclosed to the public, consistent with the City’s security and confidentiality
obligations.

1

5. Fairness and Non-Discrimination: AI systems are used consistent with federal and
state anti-discrimination laws and support fair outcomes for everyone. Bias in AI

Definition from 15 U.S.C. 9401(3).

systems is effectively managed with the intention of reducing harm for anyone
impacted by its use.

6. Accountability: Roles and responsibilities govern the deployment and maintenance
of AI systems, and human oversight ensures adherence to relevant laws and
regulations.

7. Effectiveness: AI systems are reliable, meet their objectives, and deliver precise and
dependable outcomes for the utility and contexts in which they are deployed.

IV.

8. Workforce Empowerment: Staff are empowered to use AI in their roles through
education, training, and collaborations that promote participation and opportunity.

systems.

V.

AI System Approval

Any system used for City business must be approved under this Section before use. The AI
Adoption Lead shall maintain an active repository of AI software and tools that are
approved for City use.
Process for Approval of AI System
Step 1: Request Submission
Staff seeking to use an AI system not already listed in the repository must submit a request
to the AI Adoption Lead. The AI Adoption Lead shall share the request and all relevant
information with the IT Consultants.
Step 2: Initial Review

IT Consultants review the request using their standard evaluation process, considering the
Review Factors, and provide a recommendation to the AI Adoption Lead within five (5)
business days of receipt. If no recommendation is provided within that time, the AI
Adoption Lead may advance the request to Step 4, and the City Manager may grant
conditional approval pending completion of IT review.
•

Review Factors. Requests are evaluated against the following:

o the tool's access to non-public information, including internal documents,
communications, or records containing identifiable information about
residents, employees, or third parties;
o the tool's ability to act on internal documents or communications (e.g.,
sending, editing, deleting, or forwarding) and the level of human
confirmation required;
o the vendor's data handling, retention, and training-use practices;

o whether the City can retain, retrieve, and export prompts, outputs, and other
City data for records retention, open records, and litigation hold purposes;
o the vendor’s contract terms, including indemnification, limitation of liability,
dispute resolution, governing law, and renewal terms; and
o the business need articulated by the Requestor.

Step 3: Consultation

If the IT Consultants recommend denial or approval only with conditions, the AI Adoption
Lead consults with the Requestor and IT Consultants to weigh the tool's risks against the
business need.

Step 4: Determination
The AI Adoption Lead presents findings from the IT Consultants and other relevant parties
to the City Manager, who makes the final determination on approval, conditional approval,
or denial.
Step 5: Ongoing Monitoring

Approved tools are logged into the internal AI software repository maintained by the AI
Adoption Lead. Entries are reviewed at least annually to confirm continued alignment with
the conditions of approval.
No Staff member may accept online terms of service, click-through agreements, or similar
terms on behalf of the City for an AI system, unless the AI system has been approved under
this Section and the terms have been reviewed in accordance with the City’s procurement
procedures.
New features in Approved Software

New AI features added to previously approved AI software are approved for use under the
parent software's existing approval, provided the feature (a) operates under the same
vendor data-handling, security, and retention terms as the parent software, and (b) does
not raise additional security or access concerns, such as by adding the ability to take
automated action or to access additional internal systems. Features that do not meet these
conditions require review under this Section.
AI Meeting Recording and Transcription

AI tools that record, transcribe, or summarize meetings (e.g., Zoom AI Companion,
Microsoft Teams recap, Plaud) require approval under this Section. Where approved, users
must notify all participants before the tool is activated. AI recording or transcription tools
may not be used during executive sessions, personnel investigations or disciplinary
meetings, or any meeting involving privileged legal advice. Recording devices and
applications must be City-owned or City-administered. Although not prohibited, use during
sensitive, internal conversations is not recommended, as any recorded meeting may be
subject to an open-records request.

Law Enforcement Use

AI systems used by the Goddard Police Department require approval under this Section
after consultation with the Chief of Police and the City Attorney, and must comply with the
CJIS Security Policy. Any report, affidavit, or other document that may be used in a criminal,
civil, or administrative proceeding and that was drafted in whole or in part with AI must be
reviewed, corrected as necessary, and adopted by the officer; must disclose that AI was
used in its preparation; and the original AI-generated draft and any associated audio or
transcript must be retained in accordance with the applicable retention schedule.

VI.

AI-Generated Software

Any tool, application, automation, or agent generated with AI assistance ("vibe coding")
shall be built within a business AI system approved under Section V and hosted or stored
only in City-owned accounts. Each tool shared with other staff shall be registered in the
City's AI tool inventory, which may be the approved AI system's shared library, and shall
identify its purpose, owner, backup owner, and data sources.

No AI-generated tool may collect, store, or process personal information (any Social
Security number, driver's license or state identification number, or financial account,
credit, or debit card number, whether or not linked to a name, and any information defined
as personal information in K.S.A. 50-7a01), payment card data, criminal justice information,
human resources or medical records, or biometric information. No AI-generated tool may
contain passwords, API keys, or other credentials in its code, or use administrator
credentials.

AI-generated tools that use only public data, or non-confidential internal data the user is
already authorized to access, are permitted with the following restrictions. City Manager
approval with the consultation of the City's IT consultant is required before a tool may:
•

•

•

•

(a) be made public-facing, used by or formally presented to the City Council or a City
board, or shared with anyone outside of the city staff;
(b) create, change, or delete records in a City system without human review of each
action;
(c) use credentials such as API keys or logins for, or send City data to, any service
outside the City's approved systems; or

(d) use confidential internal information, other than information prohibited above,
including records the City may withhold under the Kansas Open Records Act, such
as pending negotiations, legal advice, or security plans.

Exceptions to the data prohibitions may be granted only in writing by the City Manager
after consultation with the IT consultant, and must still comply with the CJIS Security
Policy, PCI-DSS, and all other applicable laws and standards.

Approved tools shall be re-reviewed whenever their data, audience, or capabilities change.
Public-facing tools must meet WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility standards, must never make
commitments on behalf of the City, and shall display a transparency notice indicating that
the tool or response was generated in part or in whole with AI.

Suspected problems with any AI-generated tool shall be reported immediately to the IT
consultant and the City Manager's office.

VII. Prohibited Uses

The use of certain AI systems is prohibited due to the sensitive nature of the information
processed and severe potential risk. This includes the following prohibited purposes:
•

•

•

•

•
•

•

•
•

The use of any AI tool, including consumer-grade AI, for City business that has not
been approved under Section V, or the use of an approved AI tool for City business
through a personal rather than City-administered account.

Using AI to determine what information is exempt from disclosure, redact records,
or otherwise make Kansas Open Records Act determinations without review by the
City’s official custodian of records or the City Attorney.

Deliberately submitting attorney-client privileged communications, attorney work
product, or information concerning pending or anticipated litigation to any AI
system for analysis, summary, or drafting, without prior authorization from the City
Attorney. Incidental access by approved systems that store or search City email is
not a violation.
Real-time or covert biometric identification, including facial recognition, unless
approved in writing by the City Manager after consultation with the Chief of Police
and the City Attorney for a specific law enforcement purpose.

Fully automated decisions that do not require any meaningful human oversight but
substantially impact individuals.

Using AI as the sole or primary basis for hiring, promotion, discipline, or
termination decisions, or to screen or rank applicants or employees, without human
review of each decision.
Social scoring, or the use of AI systems to track and classify individuals based on
their behaviors, socioeconomic status, or personal characteristics for the purpose of
determining eligibility for, or the level of, City services, benefits, or enforcement
action.
Cognitive behavioral manipulation of people or specific vulnerable groups.

Creating or distributing AI-generated images, audio, or video depicting a real
person, including a City official or employee, without that person’s consent, or AIgenerated content that could reasonably be mistaken for a real event or an official
City statement.

If City of Goddard staff become aware of an instance where an AI system has been used in
violation of these prohibited uses, staff must report the instance to their supervisor, the AI
Adoption Lead, and the City Manager. If the instance may have exposed personal
information, the report must be made immediately so the City can evaluate its notice
obligations under K.S.A. 50-7a02.

VIII. Sunset Procedures

If an AI system operated by the City of Goddard or on its behalf no longer serves its
approved purpose, no longer meets the conditions of its approval, or presents risks that
outweigh its benefits, then the use of that AI system must be halted unless express
exception is provided by the City Manager. If the abrupt cessation of the use of that AI
system would significantly disrupt the delivery of City of Goddard services, usage of the AI
system shall be gradually phased out over time. Before an account or subscription is closed,
the AI Adoption Lead shall ensure that City data is exported or preserved as needed to
satisfy records retention requirements and any litigation hold, that remaining City data
held by the vendor is returned or deleted as the vendor contract provides, and that
credentials and access are revoked.

IX.

Public Records

The City of Goddard is subject to the Kansas Open Records Act. City of Goddard staff must
follow all current procedures for records retention and disclosure as stated by state or City
policy. Prompts, outputs, and other interactions with an AI system, and recordings,
transcripts, and summaries generated by AI meeting tools, are public records under the
Kansas Open Records Act if made, maintained, or kept in connection with City business,
whether they reside in a City account or a personal account or device. They are subject to
disclosure unless an exemption applies and must be retained in accordance with applicable
records retention schedules.
Staff shall conduct City business only through City-administered accounts in approved AI
systems and shall not delete AI prompts, outputs, transcripts, or recordings except as the
applicable retention schedule permits. A litigation hold issued by the City Attorney applies
to AI prompts, outputs, transcripts, recordings, and related data. Staff have no expectation
of privacy in their use of AI systems for City business. AI-generated summaries or
transcripts of meetings of the Governing Body or any City board or commission are not
official minutes unless reviewed and approved as minutes.

X.

Policy Administration & Enforcement

A. Compliance. All staff and agents of the City of Goddard, whether permanent or
temporary, and, to the extent provided in their contracts with the City, other third parties
operating AI systems on behalf of the City of Goddard are required to abide by this Policy.

B. Amendments. The City Manager may amend this policy without prior Council approval,
except that amendments to Section II (Scope), Section III (Guiding Principles), Section VII
(Prohibited Uses), or this Section X require Council approval. Amendments take effect upon
issuance. The Council shall be informed of any amendments to the policy at its next regular
meeting, and the Council may reverse or modify any amendment.

C. No Third-Party Rights. This policy governs the internal management of the City. It does
not create any right, benefit, duty, standard of care, or cause of action enforceable by any
person against the City or its officers, employees, or agents.

XI.

Violations of the AI Policy

Violations of any section of the AI Policy by employees may be subject to disciplinary
action, up to and including termination. Violations made by a third party while operating
an AI system on behalf of the City of Goddard may result in a breach of contract and/or
pursuit of damages. Infractions that violate local, state, or federal law may be referred to
the proper authorities.

XII.

Terms & Definitions

Artificial Intelligence: “Artificial intelligence” or “AI” is defined as a machine-based
system that can, for a given set of human-defined objectives, make predictions,
recommendations, or decisions influencing real or virtual environments. Artificial
intelligence systems use machine- and human-based inputs to perceive real and virtual
environments; abstract such perceptions into models through analysis in an automated
manner; and use model inference to formulate options for information or action.

AI system: Any data system, software, hardware, application, tool, or utility that operates
in whole or in part using AI.
Excluded features: Unless used to generate substantive work product or to process nonpublic information outside the City’s approved systems, the following are not AI systems
for purposes of Sections V and VII: spelling, grammar, and predictive text features; spam
and malware filtering; internet search engines; navigation and mapping applications; and
similar features built into software the City has otherwise approved for use.

XIII. Acknowledgement

This policy was developed by City staff using model materials published by GovAI

PREPARED BY:
AGENDA:

Mayor and City Council
MS4 Post Construction Stormwater Policy Ordinance
Nick Ball, Assistant Director Public Works
New Business

Background: The city of Goddard has a separate storm water system from its sanitary sewer and
as such, the Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE) requires the city to have a
Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System program which is called an MS4.
The MS4 follows certain federal EPA guidelines which requires cities to have a certain amount
of points each year and on some occasions it requires any policies the city is referencing to be
listed as an ordinance on the city code and not just “in practice” or in a handbook.
This being the case the policy drafted by the city follows the cities current practice of requiring
detention ponds as necessary for one acre of more of impervious surface and for those detention
ponds to be placed in reserves to be owned and maintained by the HOA or their assigns or heirs.
This places the responsibility of detention ponds maintenance, post construction, on the HOA
instead of the city. As mentioned, this is in practice but it does not show specifically on the city
code website so codifying it allows the city to claim the points necessary for the MS4 program.
Analysis: The City Council is reviewing an ordinance that reflects the current practice of the city
as it pertains to detention ponds in developments.
Financial: Small cost for publication in the city newspaper.
Legal Considerations: Approved as to form by Shelley Woodard of Morris Laing representing
the city.
Recommendations/Actions: It is recommended the City Council:
1. Waive the reading of the ordinance.
(VOICE)
2. Approve the ordinance modifying chapter 15, Article 7 of the city code.

AN ORDINANCE INCLUDING LANGUAGE INTO THE CITY CODE UNDER CHAPTER 15, ARTICLE 7
DEFINING POST CONSTRUCTION STORM WATER POLICY
WHEREAS, The Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE) requires cities to have an Municipal
Separate Storm Sewer System program if the city sewer is separated from the city storm water. Part of that
requirement is the adoption of city codes to outlining compliance with the program.
WHEREAS, the city has to drafted a policy related to post construction storm water management.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE GOVERNING BODY OF THE CITY OF
GODDARD, KANSAS:
Section 1.

Additional language to be added to Chapter 15, Article 7. 15-706

City of Goddard MS4 Post-Construction Stormwater Policy Purpose & Authority
A. Overview
This policy establishes requirements for the long-term management of stormwater runoff from
new development and redevelopment projects within the City of Goddard Municipal Separate
Storm Sewer System (MS4) service area. This policy is adopted in compliance with the National
Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) MS4 Permit requirements, as administered by
the Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE) under the authority of the Clean
Water Act.
B. Design & Construction Standards
All new construction, subdivisions, and site development projects must be designed and built in
accordance with City of Goddard Design Manual, which establishes the minimum standards for
stormwater infrastructure, drainage design, and erosion control within the City. Where applicable,
erosion control measures must remain in place and fully functional throughout all phases of
construction and until permanent stabilization has been achieved.
C. Private Ownership & Maintenance Responsibilities
Once construction is complete and a stormwater facility such as a retention pond is turned over to
a private entity, the property owner — whether a Homeowners Association (HOA), commercial
property owner, or individual — assumes full responsibility for the ongoing operation and
maintenance of that facility. This includes but is not limited to:
• Routine inspections of the facility and all associated infrastructure
• Sediment removal as needed to maintain design capacity
• Outlet structure maintenance and repair
• Erosion control and slope stabilization where applicable
• All costs associated with maintenance and repairs
1

D. Municipal Oversight
The City of Goddard retains the authority to conduct periodic oversight inspections to verify that
private stormwater facilities are functioning as designed and that owners remain in compliance
with all applicable permit requirements. Failure to maintain stormwater facilities in accordance
with this policy may result in enforcement action as authorized under the City's MS4 permit and
applicable local ordinances.

Section 2.

Effective Date

This Ordinance shall take effect and be in force from and after its publication in the official city newspaper.
Passed by the City Council this 19th day of October 2026.
Approved by the Mayor this 19th day of October 2026.

Third Quarter 2026 Financial Summary
City Council Report | October 19, 2026
Reporting period January 1 through September 30, 2026
Prepared by Brooke A. Carroll, CFO, CPA

FINANCIAL OVERVIEW

The City ended the third quarter with strong operating fund balances and continued investment in
infrastructure. General Fund revenue increased 18.45% from the same period in 2025, while expenditures
before transfers remained at 73.55% of the presented annual budget. Water and sewer operations
generated positive operating income. The presentation reports that all operating funds remain in
compliance with the City’s 25% minimum fund balance policy.
Total cash and investments were $50.90 million at September 30. The decline from $65.24 million at the
beginning of the year primarily reflects spending in capital and project funds. These balances support
specific fund purposes and project obligations and should not be viewed as cash available for general
operating use.

FOURTH QUARTER FINANCIAL PRIORITIES & MONITORING

As the City enters the final quarter of 2026, the Finance Department will continue monitoring financial
performance, compliance with adopted financial policies, and the ability to meet current obligations and
long-term capital needs. Particular attention will be directed toward the following areas:
•

•

•

•

General Fund Budget Performance. Continue reviewing departmental expenditures and revenue
collections to identify significant variances before year-end. Community Center and Senior Programs
expenditures reached 170.28% of the departmental budget, while Mayor and Council and Planning and
Zoning reached 95.11% and 86.29%, respectively. Staff will evaluate remaining costs and available fundlevel budget authority.
Revenue Trends and Economic Activity. Monitor sales tax, compensating use tax, building permit fees,
and other economically sensitive revenues. General Fund revenue increased 18.45% compared with the
same period in 2025. Continued evaluation will help determine whether current trends are sustainable
and inform future forecasts.
Water and Sewer Utility Performance. Continue evaluating operating revenue, expenses, debt service
coverage, and reserve balances. Water and sewer customer sales increased 14.29% and 5.07%,
respectively, while tap fee revenues declined 43.68% and 40.80%. Staff will monitor connection activity
and potential impacts on future capital funding.
Fund Balance and Reserve Policy Compliance. Monitor fund balances against the City’s 25%
minimum reserve requirement, taking account of fourth-quarter expenditures and transfers. Staff will
review the calculation using the annual expenditure basis specified in the adopted policy.

Capital Improvement Projects and Available Funding. Continue tracking expenditures, outstanding
commitments, and available balances for active capital projects. Approximately $39.69 million
remained in capital improvement and project funds at September 30; these funds support designated
purposes and are not all available for general operations.

maturities, and rates while preserving liquidity and following the City’s investment policies. Citywide
interest earnings totaled $1.53 million through September, up 49.79% compared with the prior year.
Tanganyika Community Improvement District Activity. Continue reviewing district collections and
disbursements. Tanganyika CID disbursements reached the $100,000 budget, while receipts totaled
$115,037 through September. Any additional disbursements should be evaluated against applicable
budget authority.
Year-End Financial Review and Reporting. Prepare for the 2026 financial closeout by reviewing
outstanding expenditures, reconciling fund balances, evaluating budget-to-actual results, and
identifying items that may require adjustment or additional reporting.
2027 Budget Implementation and Financial Planning. Prepare for implementation of the adopted 2027
budget, including departmental appropriations, anticipated revenues, capital project funding, and
financial commitments. Use year-end projections to inform ongoing financial management.
Financial Software Conversion. Continue coordinating the Tyler financial management system
conversion, including historical data, account structure, vendor records, and implementation planning.
Prioritize data accuracy and continuity of financial operations.

OVERALL FINANCIAL OUTLOOK

The City of Goddard enters the final quarter of 2026 with favorable operating fund balances, positive water
and sewer operating results, and continued investment in community infrastructure. Revenue performance
remains generally favorable, although selected revenue sources and departmental expenditures warrant
continued monitoring. The Finance Department will remain focused on financial stability, responsible
resource management, existing debt and project obligations, and readiness for the 2027 fiscal year.

Agenda Item I.3
City of Goddard
City Council Meeting
October 19, 2026
TO:
SUBJECT:
PREPARED BY:
AGENDA:

Mayor and City Council
Agreement with Sedgwick County for 183rd Street West and Maple Street
Improvements
City Manager, Craig R. Crossette
New Business

Background: The proposed agreement combines the City’s single-lane roundabout at 183rd Street
West and Maple Street with Sedgwick County’s roadway project on 183rd Street West between
Maple Street and Central Avenue. Combining the projects places corridor coordination and project
management with the County while providing both parties an opportunity to review each plan
submittal.
The City’s construction scope includes all work along Maple Street and along 183rd Street West
south of Elk Ridge Avenue, including the entire Elk Ridge Avenue intersection. The County’s
construction scope is north of Elk Ridge Avenue, excluding that intersection, and includes a twolane roadway with appropriate shoulders and roadside ditches.
Analysis: The County will solicit preliminary engineering proposals and administer the design
contract with a consultant selected mutually by the City and County. The County will serve as
project manager and provide construction engineering for the entire project. Utility relocation and
right-of-way acquisition responsibilities follow jurisdiction: the City is responsible in incorporated
areas and the County in unincorporated areas.
WAMPO is contributing $3,850,000 in suballocated federal funding in federal fiscal year (FFY)
2030. The agreement provides that outside funding reduces City and County contributions
proportionally to match the local participation rate. The federal contribution is separate from the
City’s advance design payment in 2027; its eligible uses, allocation, and reimbursement
requirements must be reflected in the applicable funding and letting arrangements.
If the County lets construction, the City Council must affirmatively reauthorize participation
after receiving bid results and before award of the City’s scope. The City must act within 14 days
of receiving the results. Failure to timely reauthorize terminates the agreement without
reimbursement of the City’s preliminary engineering contribution. If KDOT lets construction,
KDOT processes and subsequent agreements govern instead.
Project deliverables and timing
Milestone

Timing and responsible party

Design contribution and
contract

2027: City pays its one-third engineering contribution before the County contracts
with the mutually selected consultant.

Plan submittals

Both parties may review and comment on each submittal. No dates for preliminary
plans, final plans, or completed design are specified.

Milestone

Timing and responsible party

Utilities and right of
way

City handles incorporated areas; County handles unincorporated areas. No completion
deadlines are specified; schedules must be coordinated with design and letting.

Federal funding

FFY 2030: October 1, 2029–September 30, 2030. The funding year does not establish
a contractual construction start or completion date.

Construction
reauthorization

For County letting: City Council action within 14 days after receipt of bid results and
before award of the City’s scope. KDOT letting follows KDOT processes.

Change order review

If actual costs exceed 105% of the accepted bid, County submits City-funded change
orders for review; City Manager uses best efforts to approve or deny within five
business days. Below 105%, no additional City approvals are required. KDOTadministered work follows KDOT processes.

Design document
protection

If the County abandons the entire project or has not advertised it for bid by December
31, 2032, it must provide available City-scope design documents and a royalty-free,
irrevocable use license, subject to Section 2 limitations.

Completion and transfer

City assumes maintenance upon completion and annexes the full road right of way as
soon as legally permissible afterward. No firm construction completion date is
specified.

Financial: Approval establishes cost-sharing obligations based on actual costs. The estimates
below are planning figures and do not cap the City’s liability.
Cost or obligation

City responsibility and payment timing

Preliminary engineering

One-third of actual preliminary engineering cost; estimated City advance of $116,666,
payable before the County enters a design contract in 2027.

Construction before
outside funding

Actual cost of the City’s scope, currently estimated at $3,000,000. The agreement
does not establish construction invoice or payment dates.

Utility relocation and
right of way

City responsibility in incorporated areas. Costs and payment dates are not quantified
in the agreement and must be budgeted separately.

Change orders

City pays 100% when the primary basis relates to work south of Elk Ridge Avenue.
This creates exposure beyond the construction estimate.

Construction
engineering

County provides services for the entire project, with an estimated value of $187,500.
No separate City payment or reimbursement is expressly assigned.

Future maintenance

Upon project completion, City assumes comprehensive maintenance of the entire
183rd Street corridor between Maple and Central, including the County-funded
segment. Annual costs are not estimated.

The combined construction estimate is $4,625,000: $3,000,000 for the City’s scope and
$1,625,000 for the County’s scope. Preliminary engineering is separately estimated at $350,000,
and construction engineering is valued at $187,500. Together, these stated estimates total
$5,162,500, before separately unquantified right-of-way and utility costs.
Illustrative construction funding allocation

If the entire $3,850,000 federal contribution applies to the $4,625,000 construction estimate and
is allocated proportionally to the stated City and County construction shares, the remaining local
construction cost would be $775,000:

WAMPO suballocated federal funding in FFY 2030

City share after proportional federal reduction

$502,703

County share after proportional federal reduction

$272,297

Total estimated construction cost

$4,625,000

Under that illustration, the City’s construction share plus its stated design advance would be
approximately $619,369, before utility relocation, right-of-way acquisition, change orders, and
future maintenance. This is not a fixed contractual amount; actual eligible costs and the final
funding allocation will determine the City’s obligation.
Legal Considerations: Approved as to form.
Recommendations/Actions: It is recommended the City Council: Move to approve the
agreement with Sedgwick County for the 183rd Street West and Maple Street improvements and
authorize the Mayor or City Manager to execute it (VOICE).

AGREEMENT
THIS AGREEMENT is made and entered into this
day of
,
2026, by and between the Board of County Commissioners of Sedgwick County, Kansas,
hereinafter referred to as “County,” and the City of Goddard, Kansas, hereinafter referred to as
“City.”
WHEREAS, County and City are authorized to enter into an agreement pursuant to
K.S.A. 12-2908, as amended; and
WHEREAS, City desires to construct a 1-lane roundabout at 183rd Street West and Maple

construction is approximately $1,625,000.00.

Section 6.a. shall apply if the construction work for this project is let by the County and
not let by KDOT. In the event that the construction work for this project is let by KDOT, KDOT
processes and agreements that may be entered into by the parties and KDOT shall govern these
matters.
a. Prior to award of the construction contract for City’s scope of work, County shall
provide City with the results of competitive bidding, including the lowest
responsive bid price attributable to City’s scope. City shall be required to
affirmatively re-authorize its participation in the Project by formal action of the

AGENDA:

Mayor and City Council
Ordinance Approving Agreements Regarding Reassessment of Special
Assessments—Goddard Trails End 2nd Addition and Goddard Trails End 3rd
Addition
Bond Counsel—Kevin M. Cowan
New Business

Background: Pursuant to K.S.A. 12-6a01 et seq. (the “Act”) and Resolution Nos. 23-08, 23-10 and 2311, the City previously authorized certain water and sanitary sewer internal improvements in the Goddard
Trails End development (the “Improvements”), as described below. By Ordinance No. 1013, the City levied
and assessed the costs of the Improvements against the property benefited by the Improvements (the
“Benefit Districts”).
Portions of the Benefit Districts have since been re-platted as Goddard Trails End 2nd Addition and
Goddard Trails End 3rd Addition, City of Goddard, Sedgwick County, Kansas. Because the existing
assessments were spread against the property as earlier platted, the assessments must be re-spread to the
lots in the new plats.
Analysis: ICT Development, LLC (the “Owner”) has submitted separate Agreements with the City (the
“Agreements”) proposing that the assessments for each of the Improvements levied against the property in
the Benefit Districts that is now re-platted as part of Goddard Trails End 2nd Addition and Goddard Trails
End 3rd Addition be modified, assessed and reassessed (re-spread) to reflect the new plats.
As owner of record of the property liable for the modified assessments and reassessments, the Owner has
consented, or will consent, to the reassessment of such property and has waived the right to any notice,
public hearing or protest opportunity afforded by the Act.
The proposed ordinance (the “Ordinance”) finds that, as a result of the re-platting, it is necessary and
advisable to modify, assess and reassess the amounts levied against such property with respect to the
