Summary of Conclusions and Recommendations Special Committee on Federal and State Affairs The Committee generally agreed the parties interested in sports wagering should attempt to resolve issues or conflicts identified during the meeting before proposing legislation during the 2019 Session. Joint Committee on Corrections and Juvenile Justice Oversight The Committee recommended legislation to lapse $6.0 million from the Kansas Department of Health and Environment Evidence-based Programs Account and restore $6.0 million to the Department of Corrections (KDOC) Evidence-based Programs Account for fiscal year 2019, and legislation expanding the allowable purposes of the Evidence-based Programs Account of the State General Fund to allow expenditures to be made for transportation and electronic monitoring costs related to the programs and practices served by the Account. The Committee recommended appropriate agencies address the issue of Medicaid suspension versus termination for persons entering the correctional system, and legislative consideration of ways to increase the use of surveillance of offenders as an alternative to expanding prison bed space. The Committee also recommended legislative consideration of increased pay and benefits for KDOC employees. The Committee further recommended KDOC consider implementing treatment for inmates with hepatitis C and legislative consideration of providing the necessary funding for the expanded provision of SB 123 Program services. Joint Committee on Information Technology The Committee made several recommendations to the 2019 Legislature related to cybersecurity training for state employees; increasing cybersecurity funding; cybersecurity assessment reports made by state agencies; prioritizing security vulnerabilities within state agencies; the use of risk scores in the information technology (IT) project approval process; clarification of statutes related to the current $250,000 IT project threshold; improving transparency in IT projects; Committee review of requests for quotations and requests for proposals; prohibiting sole-source contracts extending over a period of ten years for IT goods and services; filling the Chief Information Technology Architect position within the Office of Information Technology Services; encouraging partnerships with IT talent recruiters and increasing capacity for IT talent in the state; and exploring ways to provide more science, technology, engineering, and math opportunities in the state. Robert G. (Bob) Bethell Joint Committee on Home and Community Based Services and KanCare Oversight The Committee recommended the Kansas Department for Aging and Disability Services (KDADS) request for proposal for high-touch administrative case management at the local level be monitored and a request be made for a report on progress made in nursing facility inspections toward compliance with federal and state law requiring inspections every 12 months. Recognizing suicide is the second leading cause of death among individuals ages 15-24 and ages 25-44 and the Kansas suicide rate in 2013 was 16.7 percent higher than the national average, the Committee expressed its concern to the Mental Health Task Force regarding the suicide rate and recommends the Task Force continue to study to identify causes and develop mitigating tools. Kansas Legislative Research Department i 2018 Interim Committee Reports–Supplement The Committee recommended the Kansas Department for Health and Environment and KDADS continue to monitor and report to the legislative health and budget committees on the efforts to reduce the waiting list for the Physical Disability and the Intellectual and Developmental Disability Home and Community Based Services waivers and the KanCare Medicaid eligibility backlog. The Committee expresseed concerns about the lack of preventive dental care for adult Medicaid recipients. The Committee proposed Committee bills to do the following: increase the protected income level cap; restore the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families eligibility profile to its 2010 level; and create the practice of dental therapy (incorporating the language of 2018 SB 312, as it passed the Senate). Joint Legislative Transportation Vision Task Force The Task Force was directed to evaluate the Transportation Works for Kansas (T-Works) program, the state’s transportation system, uses of the State Highway Fund (SHF), and the sufficiency of transportation funding; solicit local input; and make recommendations regarding the transportation system and the SHF. The Task Force’s 35 members received testimony from Kansas Department of Transportation (KDOT) staff, other experts, and more than 300 individuals or groups at Task Force meetings held in each of the 6 KDOT districts, in the Kansas City and Wichita metropolitan areas, and in Topeka. The conclusions and recommendations of the Task Force include the following: ● The Task Force found it is imperative the State of Kansas provides consistent, stable funding in order to maintain a quality transportation system; ● The Task Force recommended any new program authorize general transportation planning for at least ten years and include funding for preservation, modernization, and expansion and economic opportunity projects; ● The Task Force found the top transportation priority for the State must be to restore funding for preservation to protect the investment Kansans have made in their transportation system; ● The Task Force recommended the 21 modernization and expansion projects announced under T-Works but delayed be the top priority modernization and expansion projects and be let within four years; ● The Task Force noted sales tax revenues are statutorily directed to the SHF and recommended the Legislature review the role of the sales tax in transportation funding and examine additional sources of funding for transportation. The Task Force found increasing vehicle fuel efficiency, alternative-fuel vehicles, and other factors have contributed to motor fuel tax revenues not keeping pace with transportation needs; ● The Task Force found geographic

    February 22nd, 2021 Mayor Brandon Whipple and Members of City Council City of Wichita, City Hall 455 N. Main St Wichita, KS 67202 RE: Proposed City of Wichita, Kansas Tax Exempt Industrial Revenue Bonds Issuance Steele Greenway LLC is a newly established entity created for the purpose of purchasing, renovating and operating the apartment complex known as Greenway Park. The apartment complex is located at, 404 W. Pawnee Street, Wichita, KS 67213. The 3-story, mid-rise apartment building is situated on 3.3 acres of land and contains 91 one-bedroom units reserved for very low income elderly and disabled residents. The property is 100% covered by a Project Based Section 8 Housing Assistance Payment (HAP) Contract which subsidizes the resident-paid portion of the rents due each month. The property is currently well occupied with a strong waiting list. Built in 1979, the property has not received substantial repairs since being originally constructed and is in significant need of both interior and exterior renovation. Steele Greenway LLC plans to significantly renovate the complex following the purchase resulting in substantial interior, exterior and unit repairs. Additionally, as part of the purchase the HAP contract will be extended for a period of 20 years from the closing date preserving this important affordable housing resource for the community. Following the acquisition, Greenway Park will be managed by Monroe Group Ltd., the sister company to Steele Properties which is the parent entity of Steele Greenway LLC. At this time, we are requesting your support for the issuance of $10,000,000 City of Wichita, tax exempt industrial revenue bonds to help fund the planned renovations for this project.
