Title: Award Item: Present a Good Neighbor Award to Robert Courtland for his community volunteerism efforts. Description: The Beautification and Tree Advisory Board wishes to continue giving out an award it resurrected, the Good Neighbor Award, to recognize publicly citizens who go above and beyond in their volunteer efforts. Rather than being awarded monthly, as the Nelson Sensation Award and Yard of the Season awards are, this award only will be given out as needed to recognize and applaud exemplary beautification efforts. The Board voted 3-0 on October 26 to give the Good Neighbor Award to Winfield resident Robert Courtland for his community volunteerism efforts toward the overall beautification of Arkansas City. In the past year, he has volunteered his time and trailer to several different community cleanup efforts, including Fall Cleanup Day and to assist the Prayer in Action group from Wichita earlier this summer. Combination Inspector Brian Williams first encountered Courtland in the context of a nuisance abatement case, but not only did he clean up the property, he wanted to “pay it forward” to help others. Courtland was nominated by both staff and citizens, and the Board is pleased to recognize his efforts. Commission Options: 1. Present a Good Neighbor Award to Robert Courtland for his community volunteerism efforts. Fiscal Impact: Amount: N/A

Title: Consent Agenda Item: Approve a Resolution authorizing the City to execute a GAAP waiver for the 2018 fiscal year. Description: This legislation authorizes the City to waive financial reporting requirements under GAAP. Kansas State Legislature passed a law requiring all municipalities in Kansas to meet the requirements of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), which included the requirements of fixed assets accounting. Many units of local government protested as the requirements are time consuming and costly for the benefit provided. In light of this, staff recommends the City waive the GAAP. Additionally, this will allow for cash basis statements that relate better to the state budget documents. As required by K.S.A. 75-1120a(c)(1) the Kansas Director of Accounts and Reports automatically grants a GAAP waiver for the year the annual resolution stipulates, provided that the resolution contains wording substantially similar to that provided in K.S.A. 75-1120a(c)(1). The City has received a GAAP Waiver for each year from 2011 through 2017. Commission Options:
1. Approve the Resolution 2. Disapprove the Resolution 3. Table for further consideration

Agenda
Regular meeting held for Thursday, July 20, 2017 at 5:15 PM in the City Commission Chambers at City Hall
Meeting was called to order at 5:15 PM:
Mark Bartlett Ken Miller Dave Billings
Leonard Mumford Carl Bowman Brian Lawrence
Brian Mayfield Chris Rains Randy Smith
Dave Billings made the motion to approve the minutes from April 20, 2017 and Chris Rains made the second. Voice vote carried the
motion.
1. Backflow Preventers
Carl Bowman stated the Dave Billings, Mark Bartlett and himself where present at a meeting in Winfield to discuss Backflow
Preventers. The discussion was letting the lawn irrigation contractors to make the connection with the water service with a backflow
preventer installed versus calling a plumber to the location to make the tap; which would make it difficult if the plumbers couldn’t
make it as quickly as needed. A Backflow Prevention License and permit would be required. Chris Rains thought it would be good if a
permit would be applied for and inspections would be called in for, that it would be ok. There were discussions what requirements
would be to obtain a license and permit requirements. After discussions, it was decided to have more research done about backflow
preventers and bring the information to the next meeting.
2. Municipal Code Chapter 14
Andrew Lawson approached board with the proposed changes of Chapter 14 of the Municipal Code. He explained to the board that
most of the items with the proposed changes had been discussed in previous meetings. Andrew explained to the board that when this
was first started, it was about the tree trimmers; however, definitions and other areas of the code needed to be cleaned up. Andrew
stated that the language of the contractors had not been changed, but re-arranged within the sections it pertained too. Language was
added to the Roofing Contractor to reflect state law. Andre explained to the board that the Tree Trimmer Contractor language needed
to be more clear to reflect what the commission would like to say, and Rod Haney from Winfield was available to explain how the
City of Winfield licenses Tree Trimmers in Winfield. Andrew went on to explain the explanation of what a landlord can and cannot do
as a property owner on their rental properties. The concern of the board is persons are purchasing properties to flip and then sale for
profit. Discussions between the board members were if a person purchases a property to remodel and later sale for profit, then they
should have a time frame to obtain a permit for any other properties they flip. After further discussions, Andrew stated that he would
make a pre-final draft for the next meeting to have approval from the board.
3. Miscellaneous
Mike Bellis approached the board and stated that he was asked by the commission to go through the codes that were recently adopted,
if there were any that was out of the ordinary that needed to be deleted. Mike Bellis felt that the IMC and IPC were fine. He felt that
there were changes in the NEC. After discussions, the board agreed with Mike and felt that the changes should be noted. Andrew
would get them into Chapter 14.
Brian Lawrence made the motion to adjourn the meeting at 6:26 PM and mark Bartlett made the second. Voice vote carried the
motion.

The meeting was called to order at 5:151 PM.
Roll Call:
Mark Bartlett Ken Miller Dave Billings
Leonard Mumford Carl Bowman Brian Lawrence
Brian Mayfield Chris Rains Randy Smith
1. Backflow Preventers
Dave Billings stated that he didn’t have an issue with the lawn sprinkler installer to hook up the backflow preventers. There was
further discussion of what the requirements would be for licensing and permitting. The recommendation was that the there had to be
qualifications through KDHE to obtain the license. Dave Billings made the statement that as long as the person had the qualifications
he felt it would be okay for them to connect to the water supply. Mike Bellis stated that it would be the responsibility of the person to
bring any further certification for the license to the city as well as obtaining the insurance and bond and testing the backflow preventer
on an annual basis. Dave Billings made the motion to table this to the next meeting to finalize the licensing and Ken Miller made the
second. Voice vote carried the motion.
2. Tree Trimmers
Ken Miller stated that there was nothing listed in the Winfield Code that the homeowner could trim the trees on their property. Dave
Billings stated that this was more for the businesses that advertised themselves as a tree trimming company. Andrew approached the
board to discuss what the current proposed definition of a tree trimmer. Andrew felt like the clause in the City of Wellington’s code
would be good to add. Chris Rains felt like spraying the trees should be added. Andrew also stated that this was for commercial tree
trimmers. Ken Miller wanted to be sure that owner-occupied should be added.
3. Property owners
Andrew discussed that he added the proposed language from the City Attorney. Tamara Niles approached the board and wanted to
clarify her suggested addition. She stated to the board that she felt it needed to be clarified on what a contractor was and what a
property owner to do their own work. However, it needed to be clear that the trades work could be done on their property; but if it was
for a rental property, the trades work needed to be hired out. She also mentioned that the concern for people that were flipping houses
that the board had, and suggested some changes that could be made in the code. After discussions, Tamara stated she would finalize
their thoughts and bring it back to the board for approval.
4. Additional ICC Code Changes
Andrew went over the proposed changes again to be sure that the board was ok with the changes that was discussed at the last
meeting.
5. Miscellaneous
