2022 Decision Packages Decision Packages ‐ 2022 Sedgwick County Budget [879] Redistricting/Change of Polling Place Notification Division: Election Commissioner Contact Name: Sandra Gritz Department Priority: 1 Division Priority: Primary Fund Center: 66001‐110 Fund: 110 Funding Frequency: One‐time Request Status: Submitted Reason: Other Attachments: Summary This funding would be used to notify registered voters affected by redistricting of their new voting districts and polling place assignments. The Sedgwick County Print Shop has indicated that a mailing of this size would require outsourcing. As the exact number of voters who will be affected by Redistricting in 2022 is not currently known, it is prudent to include funding in the Election budget adequate to send a required notification to all registered voters in Sedgwick County after redistricting in 2022. Legal Reference: K.S.A. 25‐2701 (d) (1) Legal Requirement: K.S.A. 25‐2701 (d) (1) The county election officer may not change a voting place prior to an election without providing mailed notice to the voters affected at least 30 days prior to the election. If an emergency is declared by the county election officer, the mailed notice requirement shall be waived.

This funding would be used to notify registered voters affected by redistricting of their new voting districts and polling place assignments. Notification to voters of a change of polling place is a statutory requirement. Discuss problems the department/community will experience if this request was not approved and what other alternatives you've considered? Please provide a demonstration or scenario of the service at the current time. Notification to voters of changes in voting districts and polling places prevents voter confusion and builds voter confidence in the election process through increased transparency. Voters who are not informed of changes in polling places and / or voting districts due to redistricting can be confused by these changes and can feel Page 1 they have been disenfranchised by lack of open communication and transparency in the electoral process. Will the funding of this request be from existing resources, or from a new revenue? Please outline how any new revenue was estimated. This funding does not have a new revenue source and is being requested from the General Fund. Other: N/A Please provide information regarding any type of study done to support your current request. This information is based on past redistricting experiences and current statutes. For personnel related requests, please provide information regarding the department's ability to fulfill day to day tasks and what challenges currently exist. N/A Please determine if this request is a want or a need for your department. Please detail how this request will support your department or division's strategic plan. This request is a need, as redistricting and notification to voters of changes in polling places are required by state statute. Please provide 3 years’ worth of data to support your request. N/A Page 2 Decision Packages ‐ 2022 Sedgwick County Budget [881] Voting Machine Battery Replacement Division: Election Commissioner Contact Name: Sandra Gritz Department Priority: 2 Division Priority: Primary Fund Center: 66003‐110 Fund: 110 Funding Frequency: One‐time Request Status: Submitted Reason: Other Attachments: Summary Elections requests funding to replace backup batteries and CMOS batteries in 1,202 voting machines currently owned by Sedgwick County. During the initial RFP and purchase of this voting equipment, battery life was stipulated to be 5 years, so this is an anticipated cost that was approved with the purchase of the voting equipment. Performing this service involves soldering internal electronic components, and can only be performed by certified technicians in order to maintain the voting equipment’s certifications. The current batteries are at end of life and the manufacturer has recommended replacement. The attached pricing is valid only if performed during a scheduled preventative maintenance visit, which occur in the spring of even numbered years. Due to the nature of the service, it is common for up to 10% of the units receiving battery replacements to require follow up repairs. Sedgwick County has a sufficient amount of equipment to mitigate this issue in the 2022 election cycle. If the battery replacement is not performed in 2022, it would be delayed until 2024, immediately prior to a Presidential Election and could negatively affect the ability of this office to conduct the anticipated high turnout elections in 2024.

N/A Please determine if this request is a want or a need for your department. Please detail how this request will support your department or division's strategic plan. This request is a need, as properly function voting equipment is essential in conducting fair and accurate elections. When equipment does not function correctly, it erodes voter confidence in elections. Please provide 3 years’ worth of data to support your request. N/A Page 4 Decision Packages ‐ 2022 Sedgwick County Budget [882] Replace 2 Part‐time Positions with 1 FTE Division: Election Commissioner Contact Name: Sandra Gritz Department Priority: 3 Division Priority: Primary Fund Center: 66001‐110 Fund: 110 Funding Frequency: Recurring Request Status: Submitted Reason: Other Attachments: Summary Elections requests that the 2 part time, non‐benefitted positions in our current budget be combined into a single full time, benefitted position. The current two part time positions do not meet the needs of the department, as the reduced work hours and lack of flexibility in scheduling do not allow sufficient time to become proficient in required duties and result in reduced efficiencies when transitioning shifts. Additionally, these positions have been difficult to fill and have a higher turnover rate than the full time positions in this office. Changing the two Part time, non‐benefitted positions to one FTE will increase personnel costs by a maximum of $22, 082 Legal Reference: N/A Legal Requirement: N/A Expenditure Impact 2021 2022 Budget Budget Commit Item Fund Fund Center 5,000 41101 ‐ Salaries and Wages 110 66001‐110 17,082 41301 ‐ FICA‐OASDI Taxes 110 66001‐110 0 22,082 TOTAL Question Responses How will this request assist in obtaining your performance objective(s) or impact services you deliver? Converting these two part time positions into one full time position will provide better continuity of service to our customers, reduce down time at shift changes, and will assist in recruiting higher performing applicants to fill the position. Discuss problems the department/community will experience if this request was not approved and what other alternatives you've considered? Please provide a demonstration or scenario of the service at the current time. When these two part time positions were created, it was done in place of one FTE with the goal of realizing a cost savings. After five years, it has become apparent that dividing this position into two part time positions has not benefited this office as intended, and instead has become burdensome due to additional training time needed due to the reduced hours and high turnover. Page 5 Will the funding of this request be from existing resources, or from a new revenue? Please outline how any new revenue was estimated. This request is to be funded with existing resources. Other: Please provide information regarding any type of study done to support your current request. N/A For personnel related requests, please provide information regarding the department's ability to fulfill day to day tasks and what challenges currently exist. Currently, both of these part time positions are not filled. This department currently struggles to keep up with the workload when a staff member is absent for any reason, and this is the slowest season of the election cycle. Part time staff members who work partial days or fewer days per week require greater amounts of training time and do not attain proficiency as quickly as full time staff members. This reduces their ability to fully serve voters during an election cycle and limits the tasks they are able to perform independently.

  • No Heroes Without Masks the Summer Months Follow Upon a Period of Strict Isolation
    No heroes without masks The summer months follow upon a period of strict isolation. The Military Museum has now re- opened its doors and puts its generously-sized galleries at the disposal of curious visitors. The Educational Service chose the currently mandatory wearing of facemasks to stop the spread of the coronavirus as the guiding principle for a tour through the centuries, when other masks for other purposes and made out of other materials were utilized. Floor markings draw the attention of the visitors to the selected objects and QR codes supply a short explanation. Those wishing to learn more can download this leaflet with additional infor- mation. The tour successively takes you through the Arms and Armour Gallery, the 14-18 Gallery and the Aviation Hall, before turning back to the 14-18 Gallery and climbing the stairs of the two floors in the Bordiau Gallery. We wish you a most pleasant walk. Armour Gallery introduction Armours, both a protective item and a power symbol, characterize mediaeval warfare. Rich noblemen can afford made-to-measure armours, whereas less moneyed knights have to make do with “off the peg” pieces sometimes provided by the suzerain and stored in large arsenals. A complete armour can count up to 250 pieces and weigh some 25 to 40 kg. Armours follow civilian fashion, as you will be able to observe through the various protective helmets we selected. Frogmouth helmet, late 15th century, early 16th century Jousting or tournament great helms are quite occlusive. The jousting armour is heavier than the combat armour and can weigh up to 70 kg.

Davis Janet Prentice BurnHam Vaughn Dudley Receiving the Footlocker Thank you for your interest in the MacArthur Memorial World War II Traveling Footlocker Education Program. Please go through this Teacher Manual before using the Footlocker. The Manual lists guidelines, fact sheets about each World War II artifact, and suggestions about how to use these artifacts in the classroom. What are Artifacts? Artifacts: är'ti·fact, n. [L. art (artis), art and factus, pp. of facere, to make.] 1. something produced by human work. Artifacts are items made or modified by humans. As part of the material culture of a particular time period, artifacts help piece together the story of the past. Things like cell phones, car keys, water bottles, and flip flops are examples of material culture today. While some of these items may seem trivial or commonplace, hundreds of years from now these items will provide historians and archaeologists with valuable insights into our lives. By analyzing the artifacts of World War II, students can better piece together what life was like in that time period. Why Artifacts? Students and Artifacts: Working with artifacts encourages students to: 1. identify and interpret primary source materials to increase understanding of events and times 2. make connections between past and present 3. evaluate and discuss issues orally and in writing 4.

  • The Steel Pot History Design
    The Steel Pot The M1 helmet is a combat helmet that was used by the United States military from World War II until 1985, when it was succeeded by the PASGT helmet. For over forty years, the M1 was standard issue for the U.S. military. The M1 helmet has become an icon of the American military, with its design inspiring other militaries around the world. The M1 helmet is extremely popular with militaria collectors, and helmets from the World War II period are generally more valuable than later models. Both World War II and Vietnam era helmets are becoming harder to find. Those with (original) rare or unusual markings or some kind of documented history tend to be more expensive. This is particularly true of paratroopers' helmets, which are variants known as the M1C Helmet and M2 Helmet. History The M1 helmet was adopted in 1941 to replace the outdated M1917 A1 "Kelly" helmet. Over 22 million U.S. M-1 steel helmets were manufactured by September 1945 at the end of World War II. A second US production run of approximately one million helmets was made in 1966–1967. These Vietnam War–era helmets were different from the World War II/Korean War version by having an improved chinstrap, and were painted a light olive green. The M1 was phased out during the 1980s in favor of the PASGT helmet, which offered increased ergonomics and ballistic protection. It should be noted that no distinction in nomenclature existed between wartime front seams and post war shells in the United States Army supply system, hence World War II shells remained in use until the M1 was retired from service.

We used anatomically 19 accurate headform to evaluate four modern combat helmets under blast loading conditions in the 20 shock tube. The Advanced Combat Helmet (ACH) is used to capture the effect of the orientation on 21 pressure under the helmet. The three modern combat helmets: ECH, Ops-Core, and Airframe, were 22 tested in frontal orientation to determine the effect of helmet geometry. Using the unhelmeted 23 headform data as a reference, we characterized pressure distribution inside each helmet and 24 identified pressure focal points.

Fierce in battle ana ga'Jant in their defense of the weak, these warriors of the Middle Ages are seen as champions of justice in a savage world. They did not always live up to our image of them, but they still represent a noble ideal. And when we think of knights, we think first of their plumed hel- mets, their flashing swords, and, most of all, the gleaming armor that covered them from head to toe. In lucid text and marvelously precise illustrations, Charlotte and David Yue tell the story of armor — how it evolved over the centuries, how it was designed and made by skilled craftsmen and armorers, even how the knight donned his armor. There are chapters on armor for horses, on jousts and tournaments, on the exotic armor of warriors in the Near East, the South Seas, and Japan. Here is an absorbing introduc- tion to a subject that has fascinated readers of history and legends for many years.
