 EXCERPT
 CITY OF TOPEKA, Topeka, Kansas, Tuesday, August 19, 2025. The Public
Infrastructure Committee members met at 11:00 A.M. with the following Committee members
present: Sylvia Ortiz (zoom), David Banks (Chair) and Neil Dobler.

 The following is an excerpt of the draft minutes from the meeting:

 APPROVAL of Ordinance recommending and agreement of the Governing Body with
the Marney Properties LLC and the City of Topeka to abate City special assessments penalties to
certain property in Lauren’s Bay Estates witn the property taxes and special assessments are paid
in full

Abate Special Assessment Penalties.

Deputy City Manager Braxton Copley spoke to the agreement with three properties with Marney
Properties L.L.C. and the City of Topeka to abate City special assessments penalties to certain
property in Lauren’s Bay Estates when the property taxes and special assessments are paid in
full.

Councilmember Ortiz asked for the total cost of special assessment penalties. Deputy City
Manager Copley responded he currently did not have that amount for the three parcels. He
continued to expand on the proposed Ordinance how it would allow for the waiver of penalties
on past due special assessments.

Councilmember Dobler asked for clarification that Shawnee County only charges for penalties
on special taxes only. City Attorney Amanda Stanly confirmed and stated Kansas law states
there are penalties on special taxes and the funds are not seen by City. She continued to expand
on the City of Topeka’s structure for the back due taxes and back due specials. She added
Shawnee County does not have the authority to wave the penalties on special taxes. Lastly, the
only way the County will wave the special tax penalties is with an Ordinance from the City
directing them. Stanley confirmed the proposal was discussed with former Planning and
Development Services Director Rhiannon Friedman, Shawnee County and Marney Properties.

Councilmember Hoferer asked for confirmation if the three parcels are scheduled for the tax sale.
City Attorney Stanley confirmed they are currently not scheduled for the tax sale.

 MEMORANDUM
To: Mayor Padilla; City Councilmembers; Robert M. Perez, Ph.D., City Manager

From: Nick Jefferson, Interim City Attorney

Re: Marney Properties, L.L.C.

Date: September 16, 2025

The item on the September 16, 2025 Agenda for discussion and possible action addressing an
Ordinance creating an Agreement of the Governing Body with Marney Properties L.L.C. to abate
the special assessment penalties on three lots in Lauren’s Bay Estates Subdivision.

In consideration of the City and Governing Body to agree to abate the special assessment penalties
on the three lots, Marney Properties L.L.C. agrees to make full payment on all unpaid property
taxes and special assessments. The proposed Ordinance is not forgiving any back due property
taxes or special assessments, only the penalties associated with the unpaid special assessments.

The City will receive its proportionate share of the past due property taxes less interest in the
amount of $10,416.42. Additionally the City will receive the past due specials in the amount of
$82,593.81. The City will be waiving penalties on the past due special assessments in the amount
of $47,775.01, this amount if not waived and paid in full would be retained by the County and not
disbursed to the City

In order for the County to waive the special assessment penalties, the Governing Body must pass
an Ordinance directing the County to do so. The Public Infrastructure Committee moved to
approve the Ordinance for Governing Body action. Action requires five votes of the City Council
and the Ordinance involves a matter of home rule on which the Mayor has veto authority.

GOVERNING BODY




Since 2005, the City of Topeka has operated under a Council-Manager form of government.
This system of local government combines the strong political leadership of elected officials with
the managerial experience of a professional local government manager.
The City is governed by a ten-member Governing Body, including a directly elected Mayor and a
nine-member City Council elected by district. Governing Body members serve 4-year staggered
terms. A City Manager, appointed by the Governing Body, is responsible for the implementation
of the Governing Body’s policy and the day-to-day operations of the City.
The Governing Body conducts the business of the City by voting on ordinances, resolutions,
applications, major plats, zoning petitions, receiving reports, and other items. The Governing
Body elects a Deputy Mayor every year, who presides over Council meetings in the absence of
the Mayor, makes committee assignments, and chairs various Council committees.

CITY MANAGER’S LETTER
Honorable Mayor Michael Padilla
Members of the Topeka City Council
215 SE 7 Street Topeka, Kansas 66603

Dear Mayor Padilla and City Councilmembers,

I am pleased to present the Fiscal Year 2026 (FY26) Budget for your review. This budget is structurally balanced
for FY26. Over the past two years and during this budget cycle, we have seen our revenues stabilize compared to
the budget—unlike previous years where revenue collections exceeded budget. At the same time, the City's
personnel costs have grown since the last budget cycle due to contractual obligations. Due to these factors, the
City will use one-time reserves to help balance the FY 2026 Budget. While I am confident this budget will meet the
current needs of Topeka residents, policy changes will be necessary in FY27, as these one-time reserves will
projected to be depleted.


 Budget Issues Facing the Governing Body
Policy Issues

If the City were to adopt the Revenue Neutral Mill Rate (RNR), the initial budget deficit would be approximately
$18 million. To avoid this deficit, the City recommends the following actions:

  To exceed the RNR rate at a mill rate of 36.956—which is also the current mill rate.
  Shift 2 mills from the Debt Service Fund into the General Fund while still maintaining the total mill levy at
 36.956. This would generate an additional $3.0 million for General Fund operations.
  Suspend charges for Workers’ Compensation and Retirement Reserve due to their strong fund balances.
  Assume no General Fund subsidy for Hotel Topeka.
  Increase PILOT (Payment in Lieu of Taxes) and administrative fees transferred into the General Fund from
 Enterprise Funds.
  Use the remaining balance in the Unassigned Reserve Fund to help address the projected 2026 deficit.
  Draw down the General Fund Reserve to 15% to further offset the 2026 deficit.
  Eliminate 19 FTEs from the 2026 budget compared to 2025, and assume a vacancy credit of 21 FTEs
 within the General Fund.

If these actions were accepted the City would be just above its 15% target fund balance at the end of FY26.

Economic Factors
The City’s overall assessed value has increased by 4.24% from the prior year assessment rate conducted by
Shawnee County. This increase in valuation could allow the City an additional $2.7 million in revenue if the current
mill rate remains the same at 36.956, compared to the RNR rate of 35.183.

Sales tax collections have remained relatively flat in 2025. From January to April, collections totaled $13.0 million,
compared to $12.7 million during the same period in 2025. This is a 2.25% increase over the first four months in
the previous year. The City anticipates only conservative growth in sales tax revenue in FY26 and beyond.
Additionally, a proposed fee schedule adjustment is expected to generate an additional $200,000 in FY26.

CITY MANAGER’S LETTER
Economic Factors Continued

Despite increased valuations, expenses are also on the rise. The City is bound by existing union contracts, and
inflation continues to drive up costs for services and commodities. Employee healthcare costs alone are
projected to rise 16% in FY26, driven by expanded coverage.

To help offset property taxes, the City will continue the Property Tax Rebate Program at $220,000. This
program, started in 2024, assists eligible residents and will continue to be administered by the CRC, which also
manages the Franchise Fee and Utility Rebate programs—streamlining services for residents and staff.

Regulatory and Legislative Changes

The City remains subject to K.S.A. 70-2088, which requires a public hearing in September if the Governing Body
intends to exceed the Revenue Neutral Rate. As this budget assumes the mill levy will exceed the RNR, a
hearing will be required. Although several legislative proposals with potential budget implications were
introduced during the 2025 session, none were signed into law. Continued discussions on these matters are
expected.

Fund Overview

General Fund

The General Fund is the City’s primary operating fund, supporting departments such as the City Council, Mayor,
Police, Fire, Public Works, and others. It represents about one-third of the citywide budget, with FY26 planned
expenditures of $133.0 million—an increase of 4% from FY25’s $127.6 million.

Personnel expenses account for 76% of the General Fund and increased by 4.2% or $4.2 million. This includes
finalized union contracts and a 3% cost-of-living pool for non-union employees. Non-personnel expenses rose
4.0% or $1.2 million, primarily due to inflationary pressures.

This year’s General Fund increase is supported by one-time reserve funds, position freezes, and targeted
reductions. Unlike in previous years, the City is no longer projecting significant growth in sales tax revenue—
only a modest 2.25% increase is anticipated for 2026. However, at the time this proposed budget was
developed, only four months of sales tax collections were available. Revenue projections will be updated as
budget discussions continue.

Utility Funds

The Water, Stormwater, and Wastewater Utilities funds reflect rate increases approved in 2023 and continue to
target a 150-year infrastructure replacement cycle. The City is drawing down reserves in line with previous
discussions. Beginning in 2024, the General Fund reduced its annual Payment in Lieu of Taxes (PILOT) from
the Utilities funds from $7.5 million to $5.5 million. However, in 2026 that figure has increased $810,000 to
$6,306,000.

Internal Service Funds

Internal Service Funds, such as Information Technology, Fleet, and Facilities, are funded by internal charges to
departments. Charges have been increased in 2026 to help bring the cash flow statements above $0 for
facilities and IT.

CITY MANAGER’S LETTER
 Citywide Half-Cent Sales Tax Fund

 The City levies a half-cent sales tax dedicated to street, curb, gutter, and sidewalk repair. The 2026–2035
 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) will be approved alongside this budget. This budget features an increase in
 infrastructure spending with an additional $2.5 million going towards the Pavement Management Program.

 Risk Funds

 Property insurance costs increased by 30% over FY25, while health insurance costs rose by 16%. In 2024, the
 City transitioned to self-insuring vehicle claims and established a dedicated Vehicle Claims Fund, resulting in a
 $90,000 increase in vehicle insurance expenses. As previously noted, healthcare claims continue to rise, and for
 the past two years, revenue in the Health Insurance Fund has not kept pace with expenses. To maintain
 solvency through 2026, the City will need to closely monitor the fund and increase revenue to cover ongoing
 claim payouts. To help spread the financial impact over multiple years, the City is infusing approximately $2.2
 million into the Health Insurance Fund to reduce the required premium increase in the first year.

 Other Funds

 Another major fund that will present a policy challenge for the Governing Body in 2026 is the Special Highway
 Fund. The fund balance is projected to be approximately $200,000 by the end of 2025, while revenues remain
 stagnant. To address the projected $2,000,000 deficit in 2025, the City is proposing an equal transfer from the
 Retirement Reserve Fund to fill the gap between revenues and expenses.

 Other Policy Considerations

 The FY26 budget uses one-time reserves to balance the operating budget, a strategy that will not be available in
 FY27 and FY28. The City is actively evaluating long-term revenue enhancements and cost reductions to
 establish a sustainable fiscal path.

 Conclusion

 Decreasing revenue growth, rising core expenses, inflation, and deferred capital needs continue to challenge
 the City’s financial health. City management remains committed to addressing these issues and supporting the
 Governing Body in achieving long-term fiscal sustainability.

 Respectfully submitted,

Fees for Service: Fees for Service revenues are those collected in return for a service provided by the
City such as water, stormwater, wastewater, and parking.

Franchise Fees: Franchise Fees are revenue generated from agreements between the City and local
utilities for the use of rights-of-ways. These agreements result in 5-6% of the utility's revenue due to the
City.

Intergovernmental Revenue: Intergovernmental Revenue is revenue collected by the City that comes

PILOTs are a portion of the taxes that may be due to the City.

Special Assessments: Special Assessment revenue are the taxes levied against property owners inside

TAX REVENUE BREAKDOWN
Tax Revenue
The purpose of this section is to breakdown the tax revenue the City of Topeka receives. The City receives
four main types of tax revenue: Ad Valorem Tax, Sales Tax, Motor Vehicle Tax, and Transient Guest Tax.


Ad Valorem (Property Taxes): The Ad Valorem Tax is one of the largest single revenue streams available
to Kansas cities. These revenues are derived from taxes levied on real property, personal property, and
state assessed utilities. The Shawnee County Appraiser assigns values to real and personal properties,
while the State of Kansas assigns values to state assessed utilities. The City maintains three taxing funds:
the General Fund, Debt Service Fund, and Special Liability Fund.

Sales Tax: The City of Topeka receives three sales taxes - two for direct operations and one for countywide
purposes. In addition to those, the City also manages sales tax for the payment of debt service and pay-as-
you-go community improvement districts. The two sales taxes that are utilized for operations are a 1 cent
sales tax for the General Fund and a 1/2 cent sales tax utilized for existing street maintenance.

Motor Vehicles: The State of Kansas collects taxes when an applicant applies for title on a motor vehicle,
trailer, all-terrain vehicle, boat, or outboard motor (unit), regardless of the purchase date. Revenue
projections are received from the County.

Transient Guest Tax: The Transient Guest Tax (TGT) is charged on hotel nights within the city. The City
Council sets the tax rate. The TGT is closely tied to the same factors as sales tax and is sensitive to the
broader economy.

PROPERTY TAX BREAKDOWN
Property Tax Revenue

Property tax is one of the largest revenue sources for the City. The State of Kansas uses mills to levy
property tax. One mill is one dollar per $1,000 dollars of assessed value. Residential properties pay 11.5%
of their value in property taxes. Multiple entities in Shawnee County levy and collect property tax. The below
chart illustrates all the entities that levy property tax and their mill rate in 2025.

USER FEE BREAKDOWN
User Fee Revenue
User fees are typically determined with the assistance of rate studies. Rate studies look at the financing
needs of the particular utility, the rate base, changes in the number of users, and other factors to determine
the rate level necessary to support a particular revenue stream. Customers that are city residents pay a
lower rate than those outside the city limits.



Water Utility: Water division staff produce estimated revenues based upon approved rates, the number of
users, and predicted usage. The City Council establishes the City’s water rates and approved a 8.5% rate
increase for 2024.

Wastewater Fund: Water Pollution Control division staff produce estimated rates based upon approved
rates, the number of users, and predicted usage. The City Council establishes the City’s wastewater rates
and approved a 7.5% rate increase for 2024.

Stormwater Utility: Water Pollution Control division staff produce estimated rates for the Stormwater Utility
based upon approved rates, the number of users, and estimated impervious surface. The City Council
establishes the City’s stormwater rates and approved a 6.5% rate increase for 2024. This fee is only
charged to inside city residents.

Public Parking: The City of Topeka owns eight parking garages. Garage stalls are either leased or funded
by hourly fees. This revenue is founded on expert-based estimation from an evaluation of trends, current
pricing, spaces available, and contracts/agreements.

FRANCHISE FEE BREAKDOWN
Franchise Fee Revenue
Franchise Fees are revenue generated from agreements between the City and local utilities for the use of
rights-of-ways. These agreements result in 5-6% of the utility's revenue due to the City.


Franchise Westar Electric: Electric franchise fees are applied to the gross receipts of electric utilities
operating within the City. Currently, the fee for Kaw Valley Electric is 5% and Evergy is 6%. Electric
Franchise Fees are dependent on the number of users and usage. This revenue source is affected
significantly by changes in the weather, as well as modifications to electric rates permitted by the Kansas
Corporation Commission.

Franchise Oneok Gas Service: Gas franchise fees are applied to the gross receipts of natural gas utilities
operating within the City. Currently, the fee for the sole natural gas utility in Topeka is 5%. Gas Franchise
Fees are dependent on the number of users and usage. This revenue source is affected significantly by
changes in the weather, changes in the price of wholesale natural gas, as well as modifications to natural
gas rates permitted by the Kansas Corporation Commission.

Franchise Cox Cable: Cable franchise fees are applied to the gross receipts of cable television utilities
operating within the City. Currently, the fee for cable providers in Topeka is 5%. Cable franchise fees are
dependent on the number of users and the level of service demanded by those users. This revenue source
is affected primarily by changing viewer habits, such as some users “cutting the cord” and dropping cable
service and the increasing costs of cable service over time.

 Enhancements to FY26 Budget
 Enhancements to General Fund
1. Tyler digiTICKET System
The Tyler digiTICKET System is a digital ticketing solution that allows officers to issue citations electronically using
handheld devices, improving both accuracy and efficiency. It captures data such as GPS location, photos, and electronic
signatures, and functions even without internet access. The system integrates with Tyler’s court and records platforms to
streamline workflows. Widely used by agencies nationwide, digiTICKET is offered as a service with low upfront costs. This
expense will be allocated across the General Fund, Court Technology Fund, and IT Fund. ($130.000)

2. Police Staffing Study
The City is conducting a police staffing study to determine how many officers are needed to meet current service demands.
The study will review call volume, response times, and types of duties performed. It will also examine the appropriate
balance between sworn officers and non-sworn staff. The results will guide future hiring and budget planning. ($150,000)

3. Lexipol
Lexipol provides policy manuals, training, and resources for public safety departments, including police, fire, and EMS.
Their services help agencies stay current with changing laws, best practices, and risk management standards. Lexipol
offers customizable, regularly updated policies and online training to support staff understanding and compliance. Many
cities use Lexipol to improve consistency, reduce liability, and maintain professional standards. ($40,000)

4. ADA Website Study
The City will conduct an ADA study of its website to ensure accessibility for all users, including those with disabilities. The
review will identify barriers related to screen readers, navigation, and other assistive technologies. The results will guide
updates to improve accessibility and meet federal standards. ($30,000)

5. Engineering Inspector Vehicles
The City is hiring in-house inspectors to reduce costs currently spent on outside consultants. To support this new team,
three additional vehicles will be needed to enable inspectors to travel efficiently to job sites. This approach will save money
over time while improving oversight and project management. ($135,000)

6. Fire Compressors
This project will replace the air compressors at Fire Stations #3 and #5. These compressors are used to refill SCBA (Self-
Contained Breathing Apparatus) bottles, which are essential for firefighting operations. ($240,000)

7. Lobbying Contract
The City will need to solicit services for a new lobbying contract in 2026. ($75,000)

8. Civilian Positions in Police
The City plans to add six civilian full-time employees (FTEs) to support the Police Athletic League (PAL), Traffic Crash and
Accident Litigation Coordinator (TCALC), and Crime Scene Investigation (CSI) units. By hiring civilians for these roles, the
City aims to free up sworn officers currently assigned to these duties, allowing them to return to active patrol and increase
street presence. This change is expected to improve overall police efficiency and enhance community safety. ($360,000).

9. Public Defender Contract
The Public Defender Contract has increased $195,000 for 2026.

10. Fee Schedule
The City is currently in the process of updating its fee schedule to better align with the cost of services provided. These
adjustments are expected to generate an estimated $200,000 in additional General Fund revenue. The proposed changes
include increases across various departments and service areas, reflecting inflationary impacts, updated cost recovery
goals, and benchmarking against comparable jurisdictions. Please see the Appendix for a complete list of fees.

 Reductions to FY26 Budget
  Reductions to General Fund

Removed Positions
The following positions have been removed from the budget: Assistant Chief, Police Sergeant, Police

Animal Control Officer, Property Maintenance Inspector I, Office Assistant III, Division Chief Fire, Training
Officer II, Communications & Production Manager, Office Specialist, Accounting Clerk, Trade Inspector,

This reduction reflects a strategic decision to decrease staffing levels across multiple departments, aligning
expenditures with available resources while continuing to provide essential services. ($1,667,000)

Frozen Positions
For the 2026 budget, the City is deliberately holding several key positions vacant as a cost-saving measure.
These include multiple Firefighter III roles, a Battalion Fire Chief (24-hour), the Chief Financial Officer, and the
Emergency Preparedness Manager. Additionally, a vacancy credit equivalent to 10 officer positions is being
applied. By keeping these positions unfilled throughout the year, the City aims to reduce payroll expenses and
better manage its overall budget while maintaining essential services. This approach represents a careful
balance between fiscal responsibility and operational needs in the coming fiscal year. ($1,836,000)

Hotel Topeka

CITY OF TOPEKA PROFILE
History


Topeka lies on a rich, sandy river bottomland where a number of different Native American peoples
lived for many years near the fords along the Kansas (Kaw) River. The granddaughters of the influential
Kaw leader, White Plume, became wealthy landowners in the area that would become Topeka. Three of
the women married a set of French- Canadian brothers called the Pappans. The Pappan brothers
established the famous “Pappan Ferry” in 1842 where the Oregon Trail crossed the river. Julie Pappan
passed her land down to her grandchildren, one of whom was Charles Curtis, the only Vice-President of
the United States of acknowledged Native American descent.

On December 5, 1854, nine men met on the banks of the Kansas River at what is now Kansas Avenue
and Crane Street. The men drew up an agreement, which later became the basis for the Topeka
Association, the organization mainly responsible for the establishment and early growth of Topeka.
Cyrus K. Holliday (one of the nine men) became the City’s chief promoter, especially to make Kansas a
free state. Topeka was born!

The Kansas territory was admitted into the Union in 1861 as the 34th state. A contest to decide the
location of the state capital centered on two towns; Lawrence and Topeka. The residents of both cities
voted in November and Topeka won. Topeka was chosen as the capital with Dr. Charles Robinson as
the first Governor. Cyrus K. Holliday donated land for the construction of a state capitol building. The
City of Topeka was incorporated February 14, 1857, with Cyrus K. Holliday as Mayor. In 1869, the
railway started moving westward from Topeka. General offices and machine shops of the Atchison,
Topeka, and Santa Fe Railroad system were established in Topeka in 1878.

During the early part of the 20th Century, the region's economic structure began to settle into the typical
pattern of a medium-sized Midwestern area, dependent primarily on its agriculture base with plenty of
room to develop. With the onset of World War II and later post war years, the railroad, meat packing,
and agricultural base shifted to manufacturing and government/military services. Forbes Air Force Base
was established during the war, and the Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company opened a plant in 1944.

Recent significant events include the location of a Target Distribution Center, MARS expansion, Reser’s
Expansion, FHL Bank Expansion, a Home Depot distribution Center, and Bimbo Bakeries USA in the
Central Crossing Commerce Park. In 2019, Walmart chose Topeka to build its largest distribution center
in Kansas. The Evergy Plaza in the heart of downtown Topeka was established in spring of 2020.
Various other organizations are expanding to the City of Topeka which assists in uplifting the economy.

Statsof Topeka Profile Continued



The City of Topeka serves as both the state capital of Kansas and the seat of Shawnee County. With an
estimated population of 125,475 for 2023, Topeka is the fifth largest city in Kansas behind Wichita,
Overland Park, Kansas City, and Olathe. The land within the city covers about 61.4 square miles.
Topeka is home to the State Capitol complex, which includes the Capitol Building, the Kansas Judicial
Center, and several state office buildings. Additionally, the State of Kansas is the largest employer in
the City of Topeka.

Other notable employers include Evergy, Stormont-Vail HealthCare, Topeka Unified School District
#501, BlueCross BlueShield of Kansas, and Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway. There are a
diversity of gender, age, and racial backgrounds in Topeka. The median household income in 2022
dollars was $55,870.




Form of Government


Topeka has operated under four forms of government since its founding. From 1857 until 1910, the City
was governed by the Mayor-Council plan. The commission form of government was adopted in 1910,
and it remained in effect until 1985 when the Strong Mayor-City Council-Chief Administrative Officer
plan was adopted. On November 2, 2004, the voters adopted a Council-City Manager form of
government.

The Mayor is elected to a four-year term and their duties include being the City's ceremonial head,
presiding over council meetings, providing community leadership, promoting economic development,
representing the City in intergovernmental relations, recommending council legislation, and
encouraging programs to develop the city.

Topeka workers and provides service to Topeka's agricultural, construction, and manufacturing
industries.

patients. A multitude of community outreach services are provided by two general hospitals and five
specialized hospitals that together employ approximately 8,000 people.

FINANCIAL POLICIES
 The City of Topeka relies on formal policies, state law, and established financial principles to guide its
 budgeting and financial practices. It also has policies established in accordance with GAAP and other
 best practices. These policies set forth the basic framework for the overall fiscal management of the
 City. The financial policies provide guidelines for evaluating both current activities and proposals for
 future programs. Most policies and procedures represent long-standing principles, traditions, and
 practices that guide the City and help to maintain its financial stability. The City continues to review and
 establish financial policies. The Governing Body adopted policies for capital improvements and debt
 management in 2004. It also adopted a resolution requiring a structurally balanced General Fund
 budget beginning in 2006. These and other financial policies are to be reviewed annually and are
 available online at http://www.topeka.org.



 Basis of Budgeting


 Since 2015, the City’s annual operating budget has been prepared using the cash basis of budgeting
 for the budget and modified accrual accounting. Under the modified accrual basis of accounting,
 revenues are recognized only when they become measurable and available to finance expenditures of
 the fiscal period. Expenditures are recognized when the liability is incurred. The city accounts for
 governmental funds which includes the General and Debt Service Funds, based on the modified
 accrual basis of accounting.

Budgeting, Accounting, and Audit Practices


Kansas law prescribes the policies and procedures by which the cities prepare the Governing Body of
the City to adopt a budget, which is filed with the County Clerk and the State Director of Accounts and
Reports. The budget itemizes anticipated revenues and proposed expenditures, detailed by program
and object of expenditures, for the next fiscal year. Funds must be balanced so that total resources
equal obligations in accordance with Kansas law (K.S.A. 79-2927), which requires that, “the budget of
expenditures for each fund shall balance with the budget of revenues for such fund….”.

The level of budgetary control or expenditure limit is at the fund level, except for the General Fund
which also has established expenditure limits for each Department financed. However, statutes allow for
the transfer of budgeted amounts between line items within a fund. Departments are responsible for
managing their budgets to the fund or department total level. The City maintains a financial and
budgetary control system. Expenditures and revenues are tracked to ensure adherence to the budget
and awareness of the financial environment. Monthly reports are prepared that compare actual
revenues and expenditures to budgeted amounts and provide a picture of the City’s cash position.

FINANCIAL POLICIES
Timing and Amendment Process: Revenue Neutral Rate


During the 2021 State of Kansas legislative session, the tax lid was removed and the legislature
enacted SB13 and HB2104. This legislation establishes new notice and public hearing requirements if a
municipality’s required property tax revenue in its proposed budget will exceed the amount collected in
property tax in the prior budget year.

The Revenue Neutral Rate (RNR) is the tax rate in mills that would generate the same property tax
revenue in dollars as what the municipality collected the previous year using the current tax year’s total
assessed valuation.

The Revenue Neutral Rate is calculated by using last year’s total property tax raised in dollars divided
by the current year’s assessed valuation as of June 15. The following process is required to exceed the
Revenue Neutral Rate.

The City will receive the assessed value and Revenue Neutral Rate, calculated by the County Clerk, by
June 15th of each year. Once received, the City uses this number to determine the budget needs for the
upcoming budget year. When doing so, the amount of property tax needed to fund the budget is
calculated. From this, it is determined whether the amount needed will require a tax levy that exceeds
the predetermined Revenue Neutral Rate. The following process is required follow the RNR
requirement.

If the Revenue Neutral Rate IS Exceeded:
By July 20th, the County Clerk must be notified of the City’s intent to exceed the Revenue Neutral Rate.
The City must hold a public hearing about its intent to exceed. To inform the public, the City must
publish a notice on the City’s website and in the newspaper for general circulation in the county. This
notice must be published 10 days before the public hearing is scheduled. In addition, this notice must
provide details on both the Revenue Neutral Rate hearing and overall Budget Approval hearing. These
hearings must be completed by September 20th.

The Governing Body votes whether to approve exceeding the Revenue Neutral Rate at the hearing.
Once approved, the Governing Body adopts a resolution to exceed the Revenue Neutral Rate. On or
before October 1st, the City must certify to the County Clerk the amount of property taxes that will be
levied.

If the Revenue Neutral Rate is NOT Exceeded:
If the Revenue Neutral Rate is not exceeded, the City must publish the proposed budget and hearing
notice (which includes the Revenue Neutral Rate) on or before August 5th. A public hearing on the
budget must be held on or before August 15th. Once approved, the City must certify the budget and tax
levied to the County Clerk on or before August 15th.

FINANCIAL POLICIES
The Kansas State Legislature enacted a cash basis law in 1933 which states in part that it is unlawful,
except where bonds, temporary notes, or no-fund warrants are authorized, “for the governing body of
any municipality to create any indebtedness in excess of the amount of funds actually on hand in the
treasury of such municipality, or to authorize the issuance of any order, warrant or check, or other
evidence of such indebtedness of such municipality in excess of the amount of funds actually on hand
in the treasury of such municipality at the time for such purpose.”

The purpose of the cash basis law is to prevent municipalities from spending more than they receive
annually in operating revenues and to prevent the issuance of short-term debt to cover operating
expenditures. Kansas statutes and regulations of the Kansas Board of Accountancy provide for
municipal accounting in conformance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Separate
funds are maintained by the City for specific purposes and projects, in compliance with GAAP, State
laws and regulations, bond covenants, tax levies, grant agreements, and City ordinances and
resolutions. The City prepares an Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR), disclosing the
financial position, results of operations, and changes in fund equities or retained earnings for all funds
and account groups in accordance with GAAP. An independent firm of certified public accountants
performs annual audits of this information. The audited ACFR is filed in the Office of the City Clerk and
with the Nationally Recognized Municipal Securities Information Repositories (NRMSIRs), among other
agencies.

Investment Policy


The City of Topeka recognizes that effective cash management is an integral component of good
financial management. It shall be the policy of the City that funds deemed idle, based on projected cash
flow, be invested in a manner that seeks to maximize their productivity until such time as they are
needed for the operations of the City. The City’s investment portfolio shall be designed and managed in
accordance with this policy to ensure public trust and be consistent with state and local laws.
Investments shall be at the highest rates obtainable at the time of the investment, within the limitations
of the law and the city’s prudent investment policy in accordance with the following criteria.


Liquidity and Return on Investment


The City of Topeka shall remain sufficiently liquid so as to meet all operating needs and expenses. The
City will consider liquidity as a priority, while still recognizing the need to maximize yield.

The investment portfolio shall be designed to attain a market-average rate of return throughout
budgetary and economic cycles, taking into account the City’s investment risk constraints, state
statutes, and cash flow needs of the City. Investments shall be made at the highest rates obtainable at
the time of investment, within the limitation of the law and the City’s prudent investment policy.

FINANCIAL POLICIES
Diversification


Market risk shall be minimized by diversification of investment types. The City shall diversify (where
prudent judgment dictates) its investments so that reliance on any one issuer (financial institution) or
investment type will not place an undue burden on the City. The investment policy also outlines
safeguards, investment procedures, legal authority, and other procedures related to the prudent
investment of funds.


Capital Improvement Policy and Procedure


The Capital Improvement Policy provides a guideline and methodology for the development of the City’s
ten-year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). The first three years of the Capital Improvement Plan is
called the Capital Improvement Budget (CIB). Thoughtful planning is essential for all departments
submitting CIP requests. The Capital Improvement Policy includes definitions of a capital improvement
project and other terms. It provides the following review principles to be followed in the adoption of the
CIP:

1. The property tax levy for capital improvements should be maintained at a relatively consistent level
from year to year. If movement either upward or downward becomes necessary, it should be done
gradually.

2. When considering a consistent capital improvement property tax levy, the City should include the
property tax requirements for debt service as well as for projects financed by direct appropriation or
other means.

3. The City should maximize utilization of all Federal and State revenue sources for capital
improvements.

4. The CIP is viewed as a long-term program that will continue to address capital requirements far into
the future. The use of long-term debt should be minimized, allowing the City to put money into actual
projects that benefit Topeka residents and businesses rather than into interest payments to financial
institutions and bond holders. The City should issue debt only for major capital projects and not try to
finance the entire capital program with debt. Bonds should not be used to fund operating projects or
costs. Bonds should not be used to fund any project whose expected life does not exceed the maturity
on the bonds. To the extent practicable, bonded indebtedness should be considered only for major
capital projects where the City share is a minimum of $100,000.

5. Approved capital improvement projects should have a funding plan or maintenance and operating
costs identified in the project description and project budget. When feasible, priority should be given to
those that will result in a reduction in operating costs.

FINANCIAL POLICIES
Capital Improvement Policy and Procedure Continued


6. The City should not acquire and hold land that is not needed for existing or near future City purposes.
Land for projects that are not part of the approved ten-year Capital Improvement Plan should not be
acquired, except as part of a long-range annexation plan or other adopted plan.

7. Unless otherwise mandated by City ordinances, revenues derived from the sale and lease of surplus
City real properties should be dedicated to the Capital Improvement Program and programmed after
receipt by the City.

8. Enterprise funds should generate sufficient revenue to finance operations and related capital projects
including debt service.

9. The City should fully investigate alternative financing sources for its capital projects, but should use
such sources only if it can be clearly shown that they are in the best interests of the City.

10. The City should maximize utilization of current facilities and should give higher priority to
maintaining present facilities and infrastructure over new construction where feasible.

11. In order to increase the long-term use of a City facility, as much flexibility as is consistent with
operating efficiency should be built into all new or renovated facilities projects that the City undertakes.

12. Inflation factors for all projects in the capital improvement program should be considered each year
and appropriate adjustments made to all project estimates.

13. All projects shall be reviewed by the CIP Review Committee for a recommendation to the City
Manager and City Council.

In accordance with the definition of a capital improvement, City Departments submit capital
improvement requests for each ten year period of the Capital Improvement Budget and Plan. Projects
are to be submitted by priority and year. The CIP Review Team, which is a cross-departmental group,
will then review all projects and rank them based on established Capital Project Criteria. These rankings
will be provided to the City Manager for use in determining the City Manager’s recommended CIP. The
Public Works City Engineer and the Budget Manager will prepare a status report of prior approved
projects. This status review allows the City Manager and Governing Body the opportunity to stay
informed of these projects. Individual requests and a compilation are forwarded to the City Planning
Commission for their review and input to the City Manager and Governing Body. The City Manager
reviews the capital improvement project requests, considers the recommendations of the Planning
Commission, if available, and develops the City Manager’s Proposed CIP. The Proposed CIP is
presented to the Governing Body, which reviews the document and makes changes as it deems
necessary. The Governing Body has the final responsibility to adopt the CIB and CIP.

FINANCIAL POLICIES
Debt Management Policy


The debt management policy establishes debt issuance management guidelines. The policy is
applicable to all debt financing for the City of Topeka. The City of Topeka projects debt requirements on
a five-year basis to facilitate better short-term decisions in light of other priorities that may arise, and to
examine the long-range implications and effects of existing and contemplated debt. The City does not
fund current operations or routine maintenance costs from the proceeds of long-term debt. The City
confines long-term borrowing and capital leases to capital acquisitions, improvements, projects, or
equipment that cannot be financed from current financial resources, under the following circumstances:

 • The project is included in the City’s Capital Improvement Budget;
 • The project is the result of growth-related activities within the community that require unanticipated
  and unplanned infrastructure or capital improvements by the City;
 • The project’s useful life, or the projected service life of the equipment, will be equal to or exceed the
  term of the financing;
 • Existing or projected revenues are sufficient to service the planned debt;
 • The cost of the asset or assets financed would place an undue burden on today’s current tax- or rate-
  payers if financed on a “pay-as-you-go” basis; or
 • The use of debt is necessary to promote the stability over time of the City’s property tax demands or
  user fee levels.

In an effort to conserve statutorily limited debt capacity, the City borrows only when necessary and uses
“pay-as- you-go” financing to the extent possible. The City intends to maintain its overall debt burden
within the following generally accepted benchmarks as established for municipalities by municipal debt
rating agencies:

 • Net debt per capita should remain under nine hundred fifty dollars ($950).
 • Net debt as a percentage of estimated assessed value of taxable property within the City’s corporate
  limits should not exceed thirteen percent (13%).
 • The ratio of debt service expenditures as a percent of governmental fund expenditures should not
  exceed fourteen percent (14%).
 • The debt per capita as a percentage of personal income per capita should not exceed five percent
 (5%).
 • The City strives to achieve, and maintain a General Fund “Fund Balance” equal to no less than ten
 percent (10%) of General Fund “Revenue” for the next year.

The City strives to achieve, maintain, and, whenever possible, improve its bond credit ratings, currently
assigned by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services for GO and Temp Notes, and Moody’s Rating Services
for Revenue Bonds. Ratings as of Fall 2022 are: General Obligation Bonds “AA”; General Obligation
Temporary Notes rated “SP –1+”, and Revenue Bonds rated “Aa3”. The City understands that such
ratings will facilitate the achievement of favorable interest rates in, and the preservation of its access to,
the credit markets.

FINANCIAL POLICIES
Debt Management Policy Continued


In general, the City adheres to the following debt guidelines:

 • When measuring its commitment to its infrastructure and related service delivery potential, the City
 addresses both its capital needs and its operating and maintenance requirements.
 • In the case of capital needs, when measuring inter-period equity, the City considers the allocation of
 any debt burden among generations that will benefit from the financed capital assets, as well as the
 need to distribute the financing burden over appropriate fiscal periods.
 • The City uses a level debt service strategy as a means to equalize the burden of its debt service
 assessment over time. This approach provides a slightly declining percentage of budget over time,
 presuming a gradually increasing budget.
 • The City maintains a minimum ratio of Combined Utility Fund revenues to annual total revenue bond
 debt service requirements of 125%, and maintain operating reserves of 90 days.
 • The City strives to keep the average maturity of its general obligation bonds at or below fifteen (15)
 years.
 • When the City finances capital projects by issuing bonds, it will amortize the debt over a term not to
 exceed the average useful life of the projects being financed.

The City shall review at least annually its outstanding debt for economic refunding opportunities. The
City shall evaluate refunding opportunities on a net present value savings basis, considering for
execution those refunding opportunities that stand to produce present value savings as a ratio of
refunded principal of no less than 3%, 5% and 7% for current, advance and synthetic refunding,
respectively. Refunding or restructuring opportunities that do not meet these minimum savings
thresholds, but are otherwise determined to produce substantive economic, strategic, budgetary or
other material benefits to the City may be considered. Unless an alternative structure is deemed to
serve a particularly prudent, economical or strategic purpose, refunding savings shall be structured
substantially evenly over the life of the refunded bonds, or in a manner to reduce the terms of the bond
repayment cycle.

The City shall evaluate each project to determine the most affordable and/or advantageous method of
financing with consideration for the following principles. In general, “pay-as-you-go” capital projects
shall be characterized by a cost of no more than $125,000, an asset life of no more than five years, or
an improvement that is expected to extend the useful life of an existing capital asset by no more than
five years. Debt financing capital projects shall generally be restricted to major, non-recurring capital
expenditures for assets or asset improvements costing in excess of $125,000 and having an expected
useful life in excess of five years.

The City confines long-term debt financing to capital items with useful lives of ten or more years, which
cannot be financed from current revenues or fund equity. When appropriate, the City uses special
assessment taxes or other user-based revenue sources to pay the costs of related debt financing, so
that those benefiting from the improvements will absorb all or most of the cost of the capital item
being financed.

FINANCIAL POLICIES
Debt Management Policy Continued


The City uses State Revolving Fund (SRF) Loan programs in lieu of revenue bond financing for utility
projects whenever such funds are available at more favorable rates. The City continues to monitor bond
rating agency concerns with overall utility debt levels when participating in the SRF program.

The City will continue to comply with SEC Rules by disclosing and updating its financial information to
nationally recognized municipal securities information repositories, bondholders, and appropriate
municipal debt rating agencies.

The City will continue to follow a policy of full disclosure in its Annual Comprehensive Financial Report
and in its bond offering documents. The Debt Management Policy also lays out guidelines for debt
administration and financing procedures and methods. This includes investment and arbitrage, use of
an independent financial advisor, temporary note financing, conduit financing, and communication with
credit rating agencies.

GLOSSARY

FISCAL YEAR: A period of time for the operating budget. The City of Topeka uses the calendar year as
its fiscal year.

FULL-TIME EQUIVALENT (FTE): FTEs are a common unit used when budgeting for personnel costs.
This is an employee position expressed as a decimal equivalent of a full-time position (40 hours a week,
or 2,080 hours worked per year). For example, a City employee working 20 hours a week would
be considered 0.5 FTE, while an employee with a typical full-time schedule is 1 FTE.

FUND: A fiscal and accounting entity where financial resources, liabilities, expenses, and other changes
are recorded. Funds are typically related to a specific activity and often have special regulations or
restrictions.

FUND BALANCE: The total dollars remaining after current expenditures for operations and debt
service for capital improvements are subtracted from the sum of the beginning fund balance and current
resources.

GENERAL FUND: As the City’s largest fund, the General Fund (GF) includes all financial resources
that are not in another fund. Services like public safety, public works, and administration are included in
the GF.

GENERAL OBLIGATION BONDS: A G.O. Bond is debt issued by a government that is backed by the
full faith, credit, and taxing power of the City.

GRANT: A contribution of funding by one governmental unit or organization to another. Often, these
contributions are made to local governments from the Federal and State government for specified
purposes and projects.

INFRASTRUCTURE: A permanent installation, facility, or system that provides service to the public.
Examples include buildings, roads, and water treatment plants.

INTERGOVERNMENTAL REVENUES: Revenues that are collected by one government but shared

government activities. (2) (Noun) The amount of taxes, special assessments, or service charges applied

PERSONNEL COST: Salaries, wages, benefits, and other labor costs. Personnel costs comprise a
large portion of the City’s budget.

REVENUE: An increase in the net assets of a fund (money coming in). The City primarily collects
revenues from taxes and fees.

REVENUE BOND: A bond that is payable from a specific source of revenue. For example, water

charges. Unlike a General Obligation bond, the full faith and credit of the City’s taxing power is not
pledged.

 Increase recommended to incentivize businesses
 and home owners to try to find ways to reduce
 the number of reoccurring false alarms they
 have with their alarms. We want to ultimately
 reduce the amount of time needed for officers
 to respond to false alarms. We would still offer
 no fee for the first 2 false alarms as accidents
 happen. Many local agencies do a scale based
 on number of false alarms but that would be
 $50.00 very labor intensive so we are recommending

 Fire Department Permit/Inspections
 Proposed Fees Summary
The Topeka Fire Department seeks to enhance its cost recovery strategies by introducing and
revising a range of fees related to fire safety and prevention. The analysis compares Topeka’s
current fee structure with those in neighboring communities and nearby states, noting gaps and
opportunities for revenue generation. Key proposals include:

1. Burning Permits: Establishing fees of $25 for residential (valid for 1 year) and $110 for
commercial burning permits (valid for each burn operation), with potential revenue of
approximately $20,000 per year based on permits issued for 2023.

2. Operational and Construction Permits: Implementing fees based on the 2021 International
Fire Code (IFC) for various fire safety operations and installations. The current code requires
operational permits for 52 different operations and construction permits for 24 different
construction activities. Each permit would cost $100 per year. Businesses could be required to
have multiple permits. Examples include fees for high-piled storage, compressed gas systems,
and smoke control systems. A conservative revenue estimate is $42,100.

3. Fire Inspections and Re-Inspections: Shifting to a model where fees cover re-inspections,
with a tiered structure based on property size. Businesses that do not require an operational or
construction permit will have an initial inspection fee of $100. Estimated re-inspection revenue,
based on current inspection records, is approximately $42,000 per year.

4. Special Event Permits: Charging $110 for events that require public resources like fire or
police services, with potential revenue of $9,000 per year based on 2023 figures. This cost
estimate is to cover Fire Department expenses in reviewing the permits. This does not include
any cost estimate for the services of other departments.

5. Fire Protection Report Submissions: Introducing a $5 fee for fire protection report
submissions via an online portal. The city currently has over 2000 system reports that are
received annually with an estimated revenue of $10,000.

6. False Alarm Response: Enforcing an existing ordinance on false fire alarms to recover costs
from occupancies with frequent occurrences. The expected revenue based on the previous
calendar year of August 1, 2023, to July 31, 2024, was $23,750.

The department acknowledges that fee implementation will require administrative support and
new software systems to streamline billing and payments. The transition to the Tyler
Technologies system is expected to increase efficiency and ease of use for both citizens and the
fire department by 2026.

Governing Body Minutes – September 16, 2025

 CITY COUNCIL CHAMBERS, Topeka, Kansas, Tuesday, September 16, 2025. The

Governing Body members of the City of Topeka met in regular session at 6:00 P.M. with the

following Councilmembers present: Councilmembers Hiller, Valdivia-Alcala, Ortiz, Banks, Kell,

Miller, Dobler, Duncan and Hoferer - 9. Mayor Padilla presided -1.

 Public comment for the meeting was available via Zoom or in-person. Individuals were

required to contact the City Clerk's Office at 785-368-3940 or via email at cclerk@topeka.org by

no later than 5:00 p.m. on September 16, 2025, after which the City Clerk's Office provided the

Zoom link information and protocols prior to the meeting start time. Written public comment

was also considered to the extent it was personally submitted at the meeting or to the City Clerk's

Office located at 215 SE 7th Street, Room 166, Topeka, Kansas, 66603 or via email at

cclerk@topeka.org on or before September 16, 2025, for attachment to the meeting minutes.

 AFTER THE MEETING WAS CALLED TO ORDER, the Invocation was provided by

Councilmember Duncan.

 THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE was recited by meeting participants.

 CONSENT AGENDA was presented as follows:

 RESOLUTION NO. 9717 introduced by Councilmember Spencer Duncan, granting

Christ the King Catholic Church an exception to the provisions of City of Topeka Code Section

9.45.150, et seq., concerning noise prohibitions, was presented. (Council District No. 8)

 ORDINANCE NO. 20600 introduced by City Manager Dr. Robert M Perez, allowing and

approving City expenditures for the period July 26, 2025, to August 29, 2025, and enumerating

said expenditures therein, was presented.


 09-16-25
 360
 APPROVAL of the MINUTES of the regular meeting of September 9, 2025, was

presented.

 Councilmember Duncan moved to approve the consent agenda. The motion seconded by

Councilmember Kell carried unanimously. (10-0-0)

 CHARTER ORDINANCE NO. 125 introduced by Dr. Robert M. Perez, amending the

City's Charter Ordinance levying the transient guest tax, revising the structure to allow the City

to recoup its investment costs of Hotel Topeka, was presented. (The TGT Committee

recommended approval by a vote of 2-0-0 on August 27, 2025)

 Braxton Copley, Deputy City Manager, reported Transient Guest Tax (TGT) taxes are

collected from individuals that are spending money at the hotel property and the total transient

guest tax collected at Hotel Topeka in the year 2025 shall constitute the “base year,” effective

January 1, 2026, the transient guest tax rate levied at Hotel Topeka shall be eight percent. He

continued to report that any transient guest tax collected at Hotel Topeka in excess of the base

year that is not contractually obligated shall be used solely by the City to recoup its investment

costs of Hotel Topeka which include the purchase price, capital expenses, and operating losses

incurred by the City through the date of sale. This provision shall expire upon complete

reimbursement.

 Councilmember Duncan stated this was a procedural move to amend the current code to

allow the change of up to 8% at just this location of the Endeavor Hotel Group to close the

financial gap over time.

 Councilmember Hiller asked for further explanation of projected financials for the

proposal.


 09-16-25
 361
 Councilmember Valdivia-Alcala stated she would oppose the proposal based on the 30-

year payback period and the feedback she has received from residents opposing the request.

 Councilmember Miller moved to adopt the charter ordinance. The motion seconded by

Councilmember Hoferer carried. Councilmember Valdivia-Alcala voted “no.” (9-1-0)

 The charter ordinance was adopted on roll call vote as follows: Ayes: Hiller, Ortiz, Banks,

Kell, Miller, Dobler, Duncan, Hoferer, and Mayor Padilla -9. Naes: Valdiva-Alcala -1.

 ORDINANCE NO. 20601 introduced by the Public Infrastructure Committee consisting

of Councilmembers David Banks, Sylvia Ortiz and Neil Dobler, confirming an Agreement of the

Governing Body with the Marney Properties L.L.C. and the City of Topeka to abate City special

assessments penalties to certain property in Lauren's Bay Estates when the property taxes and

special assessments are paid in full, was presented. (Public Infrastructure Committee

recommended approval on August 19, 2025.) (Deferred from the meeting of September 2, 2025)

 Braxton Copley, Deputy City Manager, stated the Governing Body must determine

whether to abate the special assessment penalties in return for full payment of the unpaid

property taxes and special assessments as recommended by the Policy and Finance Committee.

The owner of the three lots has requested the City waive the penalties on the past due special

assessments in return for payment in full of the past due property taxes and past due specials.

The City will receive its proportionate share of the past due property taxes with less interest in

the amount of $10,416.42. Additionally, the City will receive the past due specials in the amount

of $82,593.81. The City would waive penalties on past due special assessments in the amount of

$47,775.01 and this amount if not waived and paid in full, would be retained by Shawnee

County and not disbursed to the City; and for the County to waive the special assessment


 09-16-25
 362
penalties, the Governing Body must pass an ordinance directing the County to do so. He noted

the Public Infrastructure Committee recommended approval.

 Danielle Twemlow expressed concern with the lack of transparency related to the

disclosure of the annual Shawnee County Tax Foreclosure Sale and the impact it has on the

taxpayers of Topeka. She spoke in opposition to the ordinance language to ensure development

on the properties.

 Councilmember Valdivia-Alcala spoke in opposition to the proposal and the repeated

forgiveness of developers that owe delinquent property taxes and special assessments.

 Councilmember Hiller questioned if the intent of the Governing Body was to set a

precedent for the rest of the properties in Lauren’s Bay.

 Councilmember Dobler reminded the Governing Body that Mr. Marney currently owes

the City $92,000 and Shawnee County $47,000. He clarified the precedent being set is that if

citizens approach the City with an offer to pay back taxes the City will accept those payments.

 Councilmember Dobler moved to adopt the ordinance. The motion seconded by

Councilmember Kell carried.

 The ordinance was adopted on roll call vote as follows: Ayes: Hiller, Ortiz, Kell, Miller,

Dobler, Duncan and Hoferer - 7. Naes: Councilmember Valdivia-Alcala - 1. Abstained: Banks -1.

The mayor does not vote.

 APPROPRIATION ORDINANCE NO. 20603 introduced by City Manager Dr. Robert

M. Perez, approving and adopting the operating budget for the City of Topeka for year 2026 and

appropriating the amount for the purpose set forth therein, was presented.

 Josh McAnarney, Budget and Finance Division Manager, reported this was the final step

in adopting the budget.
 09-16-25
 363
 Candis Stiles urged Governing Body members to find a way to work with Topeka

Metropolitan Transit Authority (TMTA) to address the $300,000 budget shortfall due to their

actions related to keeping the revenue neutral rate flat.

 Khalani Britt urged the Governing Body to earmark $2 million in the annual budget for

affordable housing needs in the community.

 Henry McClure urged the Governing Body to discontinue allocating funding to GO

Topeka and to use that funding for other important budget items. He also urged the Governing

Body to stop hiring consultants.

 Danielle Twemlow expressed her appreciation to City Manager Perez and City Staff for

their work on the budget; however, she believes there have not been a lot of solutions presented

by Staff or the Governing Body to address the budget shortfalls. She referenced the multiple

revenue streams and solutions that have been suggested by citizens over a long period of time.

 Councilmember Dobler referenced the action taken by the Governing Body related to

TMTA’s budget resulting in a budget shortfall and how it equates to the elimination of one route.

 Councilmember Dobler moved to transfer $250,000 of contingency funds set aside for

the Tyler Project to the Miscellaneous Non-Departmental Fund to be transferred to the Topeka

Metropolitan Transit Authority (TMTA) after January 1, 2026, or when appropriate. The motion

was seconded by Councilmember Valdivia-Alcala.

 Councilmember Kell suggested using bus stops for advertising to generate income for

TMTA.

 Councilmember Ortiz spoke in support of the amendment to fund TMTA because of the

need to expand service in east Topeka.


 09-16-25
 364
 The motion to transfer $250,000 of contingency funds set aside for the Tyler Project to

the Miscellaneous Non-Departmental Fund to be transferred to Topeka Metropolitan Transit

Authority (TMTA) after January 1, 2026, or when appropriate carried unanimously. (10-0-0)

 Councilmember Miller moved to transfer $100,000 of contingency funds set aside for the

Tyler Project to the Affordable Housing Trust Fund. The motion was seconded by

Councilmember Dobler.

 Dr. Robert M. Perez, City Manager, suggested a friendly amendment to transfer the funds

from the Economic Development fund instead of from the Tyler Project contingency funds to

avoid completely depleting the contingency fund.

 Councilmember Miller accepted the friendly amendment. The second concurred.

 Councilmember Hiller referenced the proposed $2 million in savings and credits

addressing the budget shortfall in the current year; however, it creates a $2 million deficit for the

following year which will cause the City to raise taxes to replenish the general operating budget.

She spoke about the serious deficit the City is facing in 2026 and the probability of it continuing

in 2027 and 2028, and of the need to establish sustainable funding. She suggested they consider

proposing a sales tax referendum of 3/10 of one cent generating approximately $3.6 million

annually or 1/20 of one cent generating approximately $1.8 million annually.

 Councilmember Duncan spoke in support of Councilmember Miller’s amendment to

transfer $100,000 from the Economic Development fund to the Affordable Housing Trust fund;

however, he would like to offer a friendly amendment, that all excess contingency funds from the

Tyler Project be used to replenish the Affordable Housing Trust fund.




 09-16-25
 365
 Councilmember Ortiz spoke in support of the suggested amendments; however, she

believes the funding of the Affordable Housing Trust fund was a community problem not just a

City problem.

 City Manager Perez reported the Tyler Project would continue through 2027.

 Councilmember Miller declined the friendly amendment made by Councilmember

Duncan. The second concurred.

 Councilmember Valdivia-Alcala spoke about the importance of large corporations

forming much needed public and private partnerships to address affordable housing needs.

 The motion to transfer $100,000 from the Economic Development fund to the Affordable

Housing Trust fund carried. Councilmembers Valdivia-Alcala and Banks voted “no.” (8-2-0)

 Councilmember Hiller moved to reduce the budget by $700,000 as outlined in the

handout she distributed (Attachment A). The motion was seconded by Councilmember Valdivia-

Alcala.

 Reduction of the Operating Budget by $700,000 was as follows:

 • Eliminate proposed new consulting contracts $220,000
 o Lexipol Study $150,000
 o Lexipol annual $40,000
 o ADA Consultation $30,000
 • Eliminate Property Tax Rebate program $250,000
 • Agreed drop for PARS duplication $23,000
 • New Revenue from Historic Tax Credit Rebate $207,000
 (from Fire Station work)

 The amendments to reduce the operating budget by $700,000 also include a goal that the

City Council and City Manager would find a way to reduce the 2026 budget by another $2.1

million by February 18, 2026, preserving the current mill levy rate for the Debt Service fund.

She stated with this motion there is recognition that the Capital Improvement Plan and Budget

 09-16-25
 366
will be adopted this Fall, and that the City Manager plans to conduct a Council/Staff Retreat

about Programming, Staffing and Budgets in January 2026.

 Councilmember Ortiz spoke in opposition to considering the $700,000 in reductions as

one amendment. She proposed removing the $190,000 of funds needed for the Lexipol Study and

annual costs from the 2026 budget and funding it within Law Enforcement funds (drug forfeiture

funds).

 City Manager Perez confirmed the $190,000 would be transferred from the General fund

and Law Enforcement funds (drug forfeiture funds) would be used to fund the Lexipol Study and

annual costs in 2026.

 Several Governing Body members spoke in opposition to eliminating the Property Tax

Rebate program in the amount of $250,000.

 Councilmember Duncan suggested voting on each amendment separately.

 Councilmember Hiller withdrew the motion to reduce the 2026 budget by $700,000. The

second concurred.

 Councilmember Hiller moved to transfer the $190,000 from the General fund for the

Lexipol Study and annual costs and to fund those expenses with Law Enforcement funds (drug

forfeiture funds). The motion seconded by Councilmember Kell carried unanimously. (10-0-0)

 Councilmember Hiller stated in an attempt to address each amendment separately she

would suggest taking no action on the proposed reduction in the amount of $30,000 for the ADA

Consultation because she has since been informed it would be considered a net zero expense due

to reimbursement through grant funding. She asked the Governing Body to identify a substitute

reduction in the amount of $250,000 for the Property Tax Rebate Program if they would like to


 09-16-25
 367
act on that proposed amendment. Finally, she asked the Governing Body to agree to set a goal of

finding an additional $2.35 million in reductions from the 2026 budget by February 18, 2026.

 Councilmember Duncan requested they delay considering the amendment to find

additional reductions in the budget in the amount of $2.35 million until all budget amendments

have been presented in case that amount could be reduced.

 Councilmember Hiller inquired about preserving the current mill levy rate for the Debt

Service fund.

 Councilmember Duncan asked Staff to provide comment on the result of keeping the

current mill levy rate for the Debt Service fund.

 Director McAnarney stated it would lower the revenue in the General fund for this budget

cycle by $3 million and in order to submit a balanced budget they would need to identify an

additional $3 million in General fund reductions or fall below the 15% Reserve fund policy

threshold.

 Councilmember Hiller stated the proposal to find an additional $2.35 million in

reductions was to address the need to replenish the Debt Service fund as there will not be

funding in future years to do so. She noted the budget will have to increase by one-half of one-

mill for the next several years to replenish the Debt Service fund.

 Councilmember Dobler stated he understands the approach being presented by

Councilmember Hiller and would support setting a debt service limit which could mean

shortening the term limit to bond CIP projects or adjusting the scope of projects to meet the debt

service limits. Ultimately, the debt service fund cap will drive the ability to move forward with

CIP projects.


 09-16-25
 368
 Councilmember Hiller moved to preserve the current mill levy rate for the Debt Service

fund. The motion died due to a lack of a second.

 Councilmember Kell expressed the importance of keeping it simple and eliminating items

in the budget that are not necessary such as complete street concept designs instead of much

needed street improvements, unnecessary improvements to fire stations, and adjusting the scope

of capital improvement projects as needed.

 Councilmember Valdivia-Alcala stated she concurs with Councilmember Kell. She spoke

about the importance of allocating funds for civic community interrupters. She reported City

Manager Perez and Assistant City Manager Moore have committed to moving forward with a

plan that includes financial involvement by the City for these initiatives starting in 2026.

 Councilmember Duncan moved to retain 2-hour parking metered spaces along 8th Avenue

between Kansas Avenue and Jackson Street until December 31, 2026, resulting in a budget

reduction of $25,000. The motion was seconded by Councilmember Valdivia-Alcala.

 Councilmember Hiller stated she would abstain from voting because she was not

comfortable voting on the proposal without first speaking with downtown merchants and

Downtown Topeka, Inc., (DTI).

 Councilmember Duncan commended Budget and Finance Director McAnarney for his

work on the budget and stated he was pleased with his performance regarding his other job

duties; however, he remains concerned with the lack of funding allocated in the 2026 budget to

actively recruit for the Chief Financial Officer position and noted, the position has already been

vacant for over a year.

 Councilmember Duncan moved to transfer the additional funding in the amount of

$130,000 from the elimination of two code enforcement officer positions to fund the Chief

Financial Officer (CFO) position. The motion was seconded by Councilmember Dobler.

 City Manager Perez clarified as part of the proposed budget, two code enforcement

officers were eliminated resulting in a reduction of $130,000 from the budget; therefore, a

funding source will need to be identified to fund the CFO position.

 For the purpose of additional discussion, Councilmember Duncan withdrew the motion to

transfer the additional funding in the amount of $130,000 from the elimination of two code

the funding.

 Mayor Padilla stated he believes an internal auditor was needed and would not support

exchanging one position for the other.

 City Manager Perez referenced the funding of the CFO and suggested a reduction in the

e-citation enhancement from the General fund be used to fund the CFO position in the amount of

$130,000 for reoccurring funding of the position. He clarified he was proposing that the full-time

position of Internal Investigator, not Auditor, be transferred from the City Attorney’s Office to

the City Manager’s Office to address any issue within the City as an organization as well as the

concerns expressed by the public. He reported the position would report to Assistant City

Manager Moore and possibly, an Office of Municipal Integrity would be created, with additional

oversite being provided by the Topeka Human Relations Commission.

2025 Citizen Government Review Committee recommendations and the Policy and Finance

Committee will be reviewing this specific recommendation in detail and report back to the

MTAA BUDGET FOR 2026

I would like NO money for any borrowing in the budget, or any debt service
in the budget.
Personally I like 1.85 mils as a goal for the MTAA and that is good enough, since that is
what the public voted for in 1978. If we did a lean job of operations , with inflated
valuations, that should still be good enough, It was the standard followed until the 2013
MTAA budget. I had no idea of this cap voted on by our citizens until a few months ago,
when I was off the after a year and a half. I was never told about that vote agreement as
a board member.
  The salary of the CEO is too high for the condition of the property at Forbes field and
our industrial park. Hundreds of acres of vacant grass fields and all we do is mow it! I've
been told the car allowance is unnecessary for the amount we pay the CEO/ president
by other organizations' board members. We need immediate self-serve AV-100 gas at
Billard and cut 4 of the six staff of the FBO. This would immediately cut about $300,000
in salaries including 43 percent paid for benefits. I believe we are top heavy for an
organization of this size. We need to increase rents on T-Hangars to a more market
rate, especially if they don't buy fuel but occasionally. We need to get more interest for
MTAA money on deposit with our banker friends! . We have sold real and personal
property and that is not sufficiently stated in the budget. I know we netted about
$260,000 earlier this year on a surplus piece of property I helped get the right AG
realtor recruited for, and it sold very well: even when the CEO said the FAA would not
allow it. JUST ASK! It happened! Also, the FAA has grants to fix Air Terminals and the
money for the Air Conditioning/HVAC Forbes Terminal should be a requested grant
from the FAA first! Also, the major Hangars at Forbes have looked like slum property at
least for 12 years when I started noticing- RIDICULOUS! We may need to raise
deductibles on health insurance for staff especially on the exempt higher paid folks.
Unfortunately, I have MANY more concerns than can be covered just speaking in four
minutes.
