Assistant Director McCurdy reviewed the project background, noting that the City received the
economic incentive application, funding agreement, and deposit from the developer, and that the
statutorily required cost-benefit analysis was completed by the Kansas Department of Commerce. The
Economic Development Review Committee reviewed the request on August 17, 2026, and the City
Commission set the public hearing date on August 19, 2026.
The cost-benefit analysis showed that the requested incentives are projected to have a net positive
impact. The sales tax exemption is estimated to reduce project costs by $164,730.The analysis also
noted seven new employees over the next ten years, with an average salary of $74,570, and
improvements to an otherwise empty building.
Blake Jorgensen, Vice President of Kansas State Bank, addressed the Governing Body regarding the
project. He stated that Kansas State Bank is making a significant investment in the building and
reviewed proposed improvements to the exterior and interior of the property. He stated that the roof
has been replaced, exterior deterioration will be addressed, and the building will include office space
on the main floor, storage in the basement, and white-box space on the upper floor for future
development. He also reviewed incentives involved in the project, including the Neighborhood
Revitalization Program, historic tax credits, and the Industrial Revenue Bond sales tax exemption.
Kevin Cowan with Gilmore & Bell reviewed the Industrial Revenue Bond process. He explained that
the resolution allows the City to apply for a sales tax exemption certificate and that the bonds are
expected to be issued at completion of the project as reimbursement bonds. He stated that the City is
not responsible for making payments on the bonds.
Mayor Clayton closed the public hearing at 7:35 p.m.
Consider Approval of Resolution Determining the Advisability of Issuing Taxable Industrial
Revenue Bonds
Following the public hearing, the Governing Body considered a resolution determining the advisability
of issuing Taxable Industrial Revenue Bonds for the purpose of financing the acquisition and total
rehabilitation of a building located in the City for use as a banking facility and authorizing execution
of related documents. Staff explained that the resolution was prepared by Bond Counsel and reviewed
by the City Attorney. The issuance of Industrial Revenue Bonds by the City does not make the City
liable for project expenses and is used as the vehicle to secure a sales tax exemption certificate for
eligible project expenses.
Commissioner Allen made a motion, seconded by Mayor Pro Tem Crowley, to approve the resolution
determining the advisability of issuing Taxable Industrial Revenue Bonds for the Kansas State Bank
project. The motion was considered and upon being put, all present voted aye. Mayor Clayton declared
this resolution duly adopted, and this resolution was duly numbered Resolution No. 2021-26.
Presentation of the 2027 Proposed Budget
Director Landis presented the 2027 Proposed Budget. She stated that the 2027 Proposed Budget was

noted that the proposed budget is less than the published expenditures, ad valorem amount, and mill
rate.

Director Landis reviewed priority highlights of the 2027 Proposed Budget, including Quality of Life
Sales Tax support for aquatics, street preservation, and public safety; Transient Guest Tax support for
community attraction, community partners, and special events; the Street Preservation Plan; aquatics
planning; funding for condemnation and demolition; and revisions to flood insurance coverage and the
creation of a damage reserve.
Director Landis reviewed components of the budget that are outside the control of the City
Commission including home prices, appraised values of homes and businesses, the Library mill rate,
and mill rates for other taxing entities. Components controlled by the City Commission include
services provided to the community, amenities offered to the public and guests, community attraction
for new residents and businesses, support for services and programming outside the control of the
City, and the mill rate for City funds including the General Fund, Debt Service Fund, and Ottawa
Memorial Auditorium.
Director Landis reviewed the Library Fund, Auditorium Fund, Debt Service Fund, and General Fund.
She explained that the City acts as a conduit for Library ad valorem and motor vehicle taxes collected
by Franklin County and distributed to the Library, and that the Library Board determines the annual
Library budget. She reviewed Ottawa Memorial Auditorium operations and funding, debt service
obligations, and General Fund revenue sources and expenses supporting general services, public
safety, parks, streets, community development, government administration, and financial management.
Budget highlights included continuing essential services, balancing operations against rising costs,
maintaining reserves to support future projects and financial stability, accelerating the street
preservation program through the voter-approved Quality of Life Sales Tax, investing in parks, trails,
facilities, utility infrastructure, and airport improvements, continuing right-of-way tree trimming for
electric system reliability, supporting economic incentive programs, funding community partners and
quality-of-life initiatives, and planning for aquatics, golf, Main Street, and Downtown Ottawa.
Director Landis reviewed the City’s mill rate history, noting an average mill levy of 45.33 mills from
2021 through 2027 and a proposed 2027 mill rate of 45.000. She stated that one mill generates
approximately $163,934 in property tax revenue for the 2027 Budget. She also reviewed tax
computation examples for homes valued at $150,000, $250,000, and $350,000, and explained the
estimated monthly impact of moving from 44.136 mills to 45.000 mills.
Director Landis reviewed the Revenue Neutral Rate process and stated that the 2027 Revenue Neutral
Rate was calculated as 42.209 mills by the Franklin County Clerk. She explained that accepting the
revenue neutral rate does not guarantee that a property owner’s taxes stay the same and that the
proposed mill rate exceeds the Revenue Neutral Rate due to rising costs, facility and equipment
repairs, fleet replacement, and contractual obligations.
Public Hearing for Intent to Exceed Revenue Neutral Rate and Consider Resolution to Levy
Property Tax Rate Exceeding the Revenue Neutral Rate
Mayor Clayton opened the public hearing at 8:01 p.m. Director Landis stated that the public hearing
notice was published on August 19, 2026, in the Ottawa Herald and on the City website and provided
an opportunity to receive public comment on the City’s intent to exceed the Revenue Neutral Rate.

Budget includes total expenditures of $76,743,688, total ad valorem of $7,377,095, and a mill rate of

Consider Approval of Resolution Adopting the 2027-2031 Capital Improvement Program
Director Landis presented the 2027-2031 Capital Improvement Program (CIP). She explained that the
Capital Improvement Program is a strategic planning tool used to identify and prioritize major capital
projects over a five-year period and that the 2027-2031 CIP outlines anticipated investments in
essential infrastructure and public facilities that support community goals and services, including
utilities, parks, transportation, public safety, facilities, and airport infrastructure.

Director Landis reviewed the CIP process, noting extensive public dialogue and engagement, review
by the Planning Commission in two public meetings, a public hearing held on August 12, 2026, and a
finding that the program is in conformance with Ottawa’s Comprehensive Plan. She stated that the
proposed CIP includes $46,538,457 in total capital investments aligned with the City’s long-term
goals.
Highlights included infrastructure and utility projects such as the river crossing circuit rebuild, electric
system conversion, golf course irrigation system replacement, and annual water main and line
replacement; public safety projects such as the 15th and Main traffic light replacement, 9th Street
traffic and intersection reconstruction, Princeton Circle sidewalk, and Downtown Main Street lighting;
and quality-of-life and economic development projects such as the airport runway extension, aquatic
center planning, and golf course cart path.
Director Landis stated that the proposed CIP is programmed to utilize City funds, state, federal, and
private foundation grants, and long-term debt. She explained that strategic use of external funding
sources, such as FAA grants and state transportation funds, helps maximize the impact of City
investments while minimizing the financial impact on neighbors and business owners. She noted that
the resolution approves the CIP as a plan to guide capital investment by the City and does not limit
improvements to only those listed within the plan.
Mayor Pro Tem Crowley made a motion, seconded by Commissioner Allen, to approve the resolution
adopting the 2027-2031 Capital Improvement Program. The motion was considered and upon being
put, all present voted aye. Mayor Clayton declared this resolution duly adopted, and this resolution
was duly numbered Resolution No. 2024-26.

Agenda Item: 11.B

Mayor and Honorable City Commission
Uniform Public Offense Code Ordinance 2026 Edition
Adam Weingartner, Police Chief
Items for Presentation & Resolution Adoption

Recommendations: It is recommended the City Commission review and accept the proposed
ordinance adopting the 42nd Edition of the 2026 Uniform Public Offense Code for Kansas
Cities (UPOC) at the September 9, 2026, commission meeting.
Background: The City of Ottawa annually adopts revisions to the Uniform Public Offense Code
(UPOC) which is published annually by the League of Kansas Municipalities (LKM). The
UPOC is a uniform code derived from Kansas statutes and includes local amendments adopted
by the City Commission each year. The proposed ordinance includes only local amendments
previously approved by the governing body. (Please refer to II.B) The UPOC was reviewed by
the City Attorney, City Prosecutor, Chief of Police, and City Manager, and all reviewing
persons recommend adoption.
Analysis: The proposed ordinance would adopt the 2026 Edition of the UPOC. The amendments
included in the proposed ordinance would maintain the City of Ottawa’s compliance with
applicable Kansas statutes while addressing local concerns. Ordinance 4165-25 adopting the
2025 edition of the UPOC is repealed. Several changes are incorporated into the 2026 Uniform
Public Offense Code and include:
Definition(s) Amended:
• Cardholder, Financial Card
Definition(s) Added:
• Closed-Loop Gift Card, First Responder, Feral Cat, Gift Card, Gift Card Issuer, Gift Card
Redemption Information, Gift Card Seller, Grain, Hay, Implement of Husbandry, Livestock, OpenLoop Gift Card.
Amended:
• Section 3.1.1 Domestic Battery.
o Amended to require an offender assessment as a condition of probation or sentence
suspended. (Currently, all domestic offenses are filed with the Franklin County Attorney’s
Office and not in Ottawa Municipal Court).
• Section 6.1
Theft.
o Language edits to the term “knowing” and adds grain, hay and livestock and motor
vehicles between $500 and $1,500.
• Section 11.1 Cruelty to Animals
o Provides carve out for persons helping with feral cats TNR.
• Section 201.1 Failure to Comply with a Traffic Citation

Regular Mtg Pkt Pg13
o Small change that removes notifications from five
years post-conviction.

Back to Agenda
Added:

• Section 3.5.1 Unlawful Approach of First Responder
o New law that makes it unlawful for anyone to be within 25 feet of a first responder
while the first responder is engaged in performance of their duties.

The Police Department is responsible for the enforcement of the UPOC. The ordinance must be
published in the official publication of record as the proposed ordinance amends sections of the
UPOC which have been deemed unnecessary for the City. There must be at least three copies of
the UPOC on file with the City Clerk. Upon adoption, and publication, new manuals will be
issued to staff with the police department, municipal court, court clerk, city clerk and Ottawa
library.

By: Sage Pourmirza, Staff Attorney, League of Kansas Municipalities
The season is upon us for League updates to the Standard Traffic Ordinance (STO) and the Uniform Public Offense
Code (UPOC) in accordance with changes made by the Kansas Legislature. Despite the shortened legislative session,
there are still several changes that were made to the STO and UPOC this year. This article details those changes.

ORDER THE UPDATED STO & UPOC AT WWW.LKM.ORG/PUBLICATIONS

Changes to the STO

Changes to the UPOC

Section 126.2.1 Use of a Mobile Telephone
While Operating a Motor Vehicle in a School
Zone or Road Construction Zone

Section 3.5.1 Unlawful Approach of a First
Responder

This is a new section that comes from
SB 366 and places a prohibition on using
cellphones and other wireless communication
devices in school zones during the time when
the reduced speed is enforced, or in a road
construction zone where workers are present.
Section 169.2 Use of Lights in Road Construction Zones
This newly added section, also from SB 366, expands the usage
of certain colors of flashing lights in road construction zones.
Section 93. Parking Disabled and Other Vehicles
Here, we have a small change that expands the interference in
subsection (b) to include law enforcement operations.
Section 126.1 Obstructing License Plates
This section expands and defines obstructions of license plates
to include frames and borders around plates that may make it
difficult to determine the registration number, state, or the month
or year of expiration on the registration decal. Additionally,
subsection (b) was previously a part of Section 126.1.1 Display
of License Plate.
Section 126.1.1 Display of License Plate
Subsection (c) was removed from this section and inserted into
the aforementioned Section 126.1.
Section 201.1 Failure to Comply with a Traffic Citation
This was a small change that removed the former subsection
(h)(2) regarding division notification from five years postconviction.

S Sub for HB 2372 introduced a new law
that makes it unlawful for anyone to be within
25 feet of a first responder while the first
responder is engaged in the performance of
their duties.
Section 3.1.1 Domestic Battery
The domestic battery language was amended to require an
offender assessment as a condition of anyone granted probation
or having had their sentence suspended.
Section 6.1 Theft
This section has a few language edits regarding the term
“knowing,” and also adds in offenses for grain or hay, livestock,
or motor vehicles between $500 and $1,500 in value.
Section 6.17 Criminal Use of a Financial Card or Gift Card
This section was expanded to include criminal use of gift
cards, adding in language that would make theft, altering, or
tampering with a gift card a crime under this section.
Section 10.1.1 Criminal Carrying of a Weapon
Subsections (b) and (c) were flipped in accordance with how
K.S.A. 21-6302 is structured.
Section 11.11 Cruelty to Animals
A new subsection (c) was added to this section to provide a
carve out for persons who are catching feral cats for the purpose
of vaccination, spaying, or neutering, before returning them to
the place they were caught.
Section 4.5 Buying Sexual Relations
This section was removed as this offense is now solely classified
as a severity level 9, person felony, and no longer necessary for
the UPOC.

Municipalities. He can be reached at [email protected].

City Commission
Consideration of 2026 CDBG Blueprint to Build Community Center
Project and Authorization to Publish Public Hearing Notice
City Manager Moddie
New Business

Recommendation: Staff recommends that the City Commission authorize publication of notice
for a public hearing on September 23, 2026, at 4:00 pm or soon thereafter at City Hall regarding
a proposed Large Gym & Pool Community Center to be located at Forest Park; further
supporting the City’s 2026 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Blueprint to Build
application including approval of the proposed funding framework and authorized submission of
the required pre-application.
Background: The Kansas Department of Commerce Blueprint to Build Grant Program provides
pre-designed community center plans. The City proposes the approximately 23,950-square-foot
Large Gym & Pool design at Forest Park, which includes a gymnasium, indoor aquatics center,
multipurpose and gathering areas, fitness space, and related support areas. The estimated project
cost is $10,750,000, with a maximum CDBG award of $4,000,000.
The Ottawa Recreation Commission's 2024-2028 Needs Assessment and Strategic Plan, based on
946 survey responses and approximately 60 focus-group and stakeholder participants, identified
the need for additional indoor recreation space and replacement of the aging Forest Park Pool.
Fifty-five percent of respondents indicated they would use an indoor sports/community center
not currently available. Governmental Assistance Services (GAS) is completing the required
income survey; the project must demonstrate at least 51% Low- and Moderate-Income benefit to
qualify.
Analysis: Commission approval will allow the City to proceed with the required pre-application
and public-hearing process. Key dates are:
•
•
•
•

September 16: Publish notice in the Ottawa Herald and on the City's website.
September 20: Pre-application deadline.
September 23 at 4:00 p.m.: Hold the CDBG public hearing at City Hall.
October 16: Full application deadline.

The public hearing will provide residents with an opportunity to comment on community needs,
the proposed use of funds, and alternative project proposals. Following the hearing, staff will
return with the Resolution of Governing Body to File Application and the Maintenance and
Operation Resolution required for the application.
Financial Considerations:
Estimated total project cost: $10,750,000
Maximum CDBG request: $4,000,000
Estimated local match: $6,750,000 from sales tax revenues

Legal Considerations: The City Attorney has reviewed the public-hearing noticeBack
and proposed
funding approach. Following the public hearing, the City Commission will be asked to consider
the Resolution of Governing Body to File Application, the Maintenance and Operation
Resolution, and any additional funding commitment documentation required for the CDBG
application.
Recommendation/Action: Move to approve the proposed Large Gym & Pool community center
project at Forest Park with an estimated total project cost of $10,750,000; authorize submission
of the CDBG Blueprint to Build pre-application by September 20, 2026; approve existing sales
tax revenues as the proposed source of the $6,750,000 local match and direct staff to prepare the
required funding commitment documents; authorize publication on September 16, 2026, of
notice for a CDBG public hearing to be held September 23, 2026, at 4:00 p.m. at Ottawa City
