2016 MHK Performance Report

2016 MHK PERFORMANCE REPORT

Dear Citizens, As you will see in this report, the City of Manhattan had another successful year in 2016. First, we have Manhattan voters to thank for their support of a 0.20% sales tax initiative to fund street maintenance repairs. The tax takes effect April 1, 2017, and projects are anticipated to begin fully in 2018 using this new funding source.

Second, our $18 million terminal expansion project at Manhattan Regional Airport reached completion, allowing passengers to fully utilize new amenities such as two passenger boarding bridges, additional car rentals, a baggage carousel and expanded waiting areas. We also opened the fixed base operator facility leased by Kansas Jet Center to improve service to general aviation customers at the airport.

Additionally, many of our Parks and Recreation staff relocated to new office space with a $1.1 million addition to City Hall. Parks and Recreation also saw record numbers of attendance at the Flint Hills Discovery Center, waterparks and in total participation in the department’s activities and events.

Our partnerships in the community continued as designs came together for potential projects along the North Campus Corridor to serve anticipated growth associated with Kansas State University and the National Bio and Agro-Defense Facility, which is continuing construction.

The City of Manhattan is committed to providing quality services and facilities to help our community be successful while striving for efficiency and effectiveness in a safe environment. The significant activity and growth happening in and around Manhattan make our community a great place to live, learn, work and play.

PARTNERSHIPS KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY (KSU) The City-University Special Projects Fund provides funding for projects of benefit to the City of Manhattan and Kansas State University. In 2016, approximately $629,000 was spent on five projects, including multi-year allotments for North Manhattan Avenue improvements and intersection improvements to realign Lover’s Lane with Thurston Street.

The City participated in an economic study with KSU regarding the potential growth surrounding the North Campus Corridor in conjunction with the construction of the National Bio and AgroDefense Facility. The study showed an additional 3,620 jobs and $168M in wages could be seen by 2035 from growth in the corridor, and state and local governments could realize $13M annually from that growth.

USD 383

Coaches, school administrators and the USD 383 school board have provided input throughout the last year on a Facility Feasibility Study that would build multi-purpose gymnasium space at Manhattan’s two middle schools and improve ballfields at CiCo Park. The school representatives have weighed in on playing surfaces, potential facility uses and how their programs could benefit from these potential community-wide improvements.

RILEY COUNTY The City has been an active participant in Riley County’s discussion of improvements to the Denison/Marlatt corridor. The project includes roadway and intersection improvements that will help feed traffic into Manhattan. It also features trail improvements to provide additional connectivity along Linear Trail.

Recommended

RILEY COUNTY POLICE The City worked with Riley County Police Department (RCPD) to help them establish a self-funded worker’s compensation plan, which will save Riley County and the City of Manhattan approximately $350,000 annually in coming years. Additionally, 36 special event permits were issued in 2016, which requires coordination and approval from RCPD.

FORT RILEY A military entrance ramp was constructed at Manhattan Regional Airport to allow for better access to the military apron for Fort Riley’s personnel. The $540,000 project was funded by the city’s stormwater fund and economic development fund.

ADMINISTRATION ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT

The economic development program uses sales tax funds to assist local companies with workforce expansion. Voters renewed a Riley County halfcent sales tax for roads and jobs in 2012 to support these efforts.

For every $1 the City has spent or committed toward economic development since 1995, approximately $9.47 in private sector or other investments have been made.

NEW ORDINANCES The Manhattan City Commission adopted a new noise ordinance, nondiscrimination ordinance and e-cigarette ordinance in 2016. The City worked with stakeholders in the community that would be affected by such ordinances. Trainings were offered for businesses in the community in regards to the new non-discrimination ordinance so they could learn about it and how it might affect their business.

MANHATTAN REGIONAL AIRPORT TERMINAL EXPANSION Manhattan Regional Airport’s (MHK) terminal expansion project reached substantial completion just before the end of 2016.

The second phase included construction of a baggage claim area, a larger hold room and revolving doors out of the secure room that do not allow re-entry. A meet-and-greet area is available for people meeting travelers through MHK. A second and larger jet bridge is at Gate 2 and can accommodate a wide variety of aircraft including charter flights.

The first phase of the terminal opened to the public in February 2015. The second phase brings the total footprint of the terminal to 42,000 square feet to accommodate projected growth through 2030.

Federal Aviation Administration grants funded approximately 75% of the $18 million project.

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT

AGGIEVILLE COMMUNITY VISION CDBG PROJECTS The City used $717,612 in Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding in 2016. This funding is used for projects that benefit low- and moderateincome individuals and areas in the community. Many times that includes infrastructure such as sidewalks, intersections and park improvements. It also includes the housing rehabilitation program, which assists homeowners with making critical repairs such as HVAC, roofing, accessibility and other repairs. Fourteen homes received repairs in 2016.

SECTION 108 LOAN

A Section 108 guaranteed loan was identified as a funding source for a new multi-purpose gymnasium in Douglass Park. The South East Neighborhood Recreation Center is proposed to be located in an area classified by U.S. Housing and Urban Development (HUD) as low and moderate income. This allows the center to quality for a loan program from HUD. The City would use part of its annual CDBG distribution to make payments on the loan for the $3.3 million project.

8

The Aggieville Community Vision was developed through extensive public engagement with Aggieville business and property owners, the community, a steering committee, Planning Board and City Commission. This update provides a comprehensive and cohesive planning document with clear direction for future redevelopment and civic improvements in the district. It provides for improved parking, pedestrian, bicycle and streetscape amenities, and an expanded range of businesses.

URBAN CORE RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT

As part of implementation of the Manhattan Urban Area Comprehensive Plan, the Urban Core Residential District was drafted to facilitate development of high-density, university-oriented residential buildings.

These may incorporate ground floor accessory neighborhood-scale services and would be located in a 5-block area east of North Manhattan Avenue and north of Aggieville. The district is designed to promote a more walkable, bicycle-friendly neighborhood that embraces its close proximity to Kansas State University, Aggieville and Manhattan Christian College.

FINANCE FINANCIALS

The City of Manhattan finished the 2016 budget year at approximately $209,232 under budget. That means the City’s starting cash reserve balance for 2017 is higher than anticipated, allowing the City to better react financially in case of emergency or need for those “rainy-day” funds.

RESPONSE TIMES

The Manhattan Fire Department (MFD) worked with Riley County dispatch and its department personnel to more accurately track turnout, travel and total response times to emergency calls in 2016. The National Fire Protection Agency (NFPA) sets standards for response times to medical and fire calls. The turnout time is measured from the first notification of the call to the beginning of travel time; many factors play into how fast firefighters are able to get out of the building.

FACILITY FEASIBILITY STUDY

With guidance from a steering committee, Bruce McMillan Architects and Parks and Recreation staff continued a Facility Feasibility Study to identify potential recreation improvements in the community.

Concepts were developed for three indoor neighborhood recreation centers that contain multi-purpose gymnasiums. They would be located at Anthony and Eisenhower middle schools and at Douglass Park. The City submitted a Section 108 guaranteed loan application to use Community Development Block Grant Funding to make annual loan payments for the construction of the center at Douglass Park.

A $3 million project to install synthetic turf and sports lighting at Anneberg Park. The field safety and playability improvements were completed prior to the start of the 2016 spring sports season.

A synthetic turf field was installed at Manhattan Soccer Complex, and synthetic turf baseball/softball infields were installed at Twin Oaks Sports Complex.

Concepts were also developed for improvements at CiCo Park, including synthetic turf installation on ball fields and increasing the number of tennis courts.

STREET MAINTENANCE

Voters approved a sales tax ballot question to fund street maintenance and Safe Routes to School projects. The measure passed with 65% of the vote. The 0.20% sales tax will go into effect April 1, 2017, and is expected to generate $2 million per year. Of that, $1.9 million will be dedicated to street maintenance in addition to the $2 million already being spent to improve existing streets. The other $100,000 will go to Safe Routes to School projects to fill sidewalk gaps, build crosswalks and install signs and lighting to make it safer for children to walk or bike to Manhattanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eight elementary schools.
