BLACKWELL’SBY-LINEBy Mayor Billy Blackwell

The 2014 Budget CycleFolks, of my eight plus years on the

council, this is one of the toughest budgetcycles that I can remember.Adding to thecomplexity of a struggling economy thisyear is the issue of providing for the in-frastructure needs for the new Lansinghigh school and surrounding area.The council started this year’s budget

work session by first looking at our regu-lar annual budget items. I’m happy to saythe proposed annual budget request re-sulted in the mill levy being kept flat. The

proposed increase for the annual budget items results in only a .009 increase.After working through the annual budget items, the council moved on to dis-cuss the infrastructure needs for the new high school.

The council was briefed on the details of numerous infrastructure meet-ings between the city and the school district. I’d like to say right up front I amvery proud of and impressed with the level of cooperation between the cityand the school district during each of these meetings. The relationship be-tween the city and the school district has always been healthy. Given the nu-merous meetings dealing with the infrastructure needs around the new highschool, I really feel our relationship is even stronger.

Over the last several months, the city and the school district worked veryhard to explore all options to ensure the infrastructure needs for the new highschool were met. The city and school district also wanted to ensure the trans-portation and future growth needs were addressed. I am happy to inform youthe city and school district were able to work out plans for a benefit district.This will ensure the school’s

needs are met and we have a “rightfit” for the infrastructure needs forthe area around the school to meet thefuture growth needs of the city. Ofparamount concern is the safety ofour residents, who will be travelingto and from the new school. The bestsolution to meet both the school dis-trict’s and the city’s needs was towork out a benefit district where theschool district and the city will sharethe cost of the improvements. Theseimprovements will include upsizingthe sewer lines to position ourselvesfor future growth that is sure to occurin the area around the new highschool, and to ensure we address thetraffic issues that will occur along147th Street. The benefit district withthe cost sharing is the best solution tominimize the overall tax burden onall of us. By working in cooperationwith the school district and agreeingto a cost sharing benefit district, wewere able to hold the line at a onemill increase to be added to thisyear’s city budget.

I am very conscientious of tax in-creases, and raising your taxes is thelast option when looking at the needsof the city. I’m as equally conscien-tious with providing our residentswith good city service. It is alwaysdifficult to balance the needs of the

city with the revenue available to pro-vide those services. I sincerely be-lieve the benefit district optionbetween the city and USD 469 is thebest solution to ensure that we meetthe needs of the community as awhole without draining funds fromthe city’s annual budget. The benefitdistrict also allows us to include theschool district folks that live outsidethe city in the payments of these im-provements.

Finally, I’d like to say I was verypleased to see so many people at theannual budget work session. Therewere several members of the audi-ence who had an opportunity to ask aquestion pertaining to items beingpresented to the council. I want toonce again thank each of you for at-tending the meeting.

Keep those emails and phonecalls coming, folks. I appreciate yoursuggestions and feedback. Let’s worktogether to keep Lansing a great placeto live.

Best wishes as you enjoy thesummer months. Thank you for theopportunity to serve. Take real goodcare and stay safe!

Because of the Biggert-WatersFlood Insurance ReformAct of 2012,Flood Insurance Rate Increases areexpected: Property owners shouldtalk to an insurance professional be-fore changing or cancelling theirflood insurance.

The Flood Insurance Manual isthe document that insurance agentsrefer to for information about specialcertifications, insurance rates andcommunity rating system. The FloodInsurance Manual is usually only up-dated twice each year on May 1st andOctober 1st. When the next manualcomes out in October there will benew higher premium rates for floodinsurance.

The rate increases in the manualare part of the Biggert-Waters FloodInsurance Reform Act of 2012 (BW12). BW 12 requires that the NationalFlood Insurance Program (NFIP) beself sustaining. BW12 states that inorder for the NFIP to pay for itselfsubsidized insurance ratings need tobe eliminated.

Homes built prior to a Flood In-surance Rate Map (FIRM) are calledPre-FIRM. Pre-FIRM flood insur-ance rates are subsidized. In Kansasthere are currently 13,160 total floodinsurance policies. Of that total, 42%or 5,587 individual policies may beaffected by BW 12. Some will be af-

fected immediately. Others will notbe affected until a change, such asselling the property, triggers newrates.

Here is a short summary of someof the rate changes. Full details are inthe Flood Insurance Manual. TheFederal Policy Fee is increasing from$20 to $22 for Preferred Risk Policiesand from $40 to $44 for all otherpolicies. Post-FIRMA1-A30 andAEZones will have a premium increaseof 6%. Pre-FIRMAE zones will havea premium increase of 16% to elimi-nate the amount of subsidy on thesepolicies. AO, AH, AOB, and AHBzones (shallow flooding zones) willhave an increase of 6%. UnnumberedA zones will have an 8% increasewhen elevations have not been deter-mined. AR zones will have an in-crease of 9%. X Zones will have apremium cost increase of 8% for astandard rated policy. Preferred RiskPolicies under the extension programwill have a rate increase of 19%. Pre-ferred Risk Policies that are not underthe extension program will go up by1%.

Subsidized ratings have alreadybeen eliminated for Pre-FIRM non-primary homes and will end in Octo-ber for commercial properties. Theseproperties will see a 25% per yearrate increase until such time as eleva-

tion data supplied on an ElevationCertificate (EC) indicates that the fullrisk premium rate is being paid. Thisis the actuarial rating that buildingsbuilt after a FIRM called Post-FIRMalready pay. Subsidized ratings willbe eliminated for properties that haveincurred flood-related damage inwhich the cumulative amounts of theNFIP flood insurance claim pay-ments equal or exceed the fair mar-ket value of the property. There willbe no subsidy for new or lapsed poli-cies. New policies will be rated sameas Post-FIRM policies with an eleva-tion certificate.

Flood insurance premiums aregoing up. Property owners shouldtalk to an insurance professional be-fore changing or cancelling theirflood insurance. The website

www.floodsmart.gov can provide alist of agents in your area that haveattended recent training from theFederal Emergency ManagementAgency (FEMA). The rules for agrandfathered policy have notchanged. The grandfather rules maychange next year. Until changes areannounced about grandfathering,anyone with a grandfathered insur-ance rating should not cancel the pol-icy.

Some property owners try tohave their property removed from thefloodplain and lower the flood insur-ance costs. Community officials whoknow about base flood levels andground elevations can give their citi-zens valuable advice about a poten-tial Letter Of Map Amendment(LOMA).

EMPLOYEEof the QUARTER

Lansing Police Officer Tom Reynolds was se-lected as the city of Lansing Employee of theThird Quarter. Tom has been with the city sinceFebruary 25, 2008.

Officer Reynolds was nominated because ofthe all the little things he does as a Police Officer,but there is one action in particular that standsout. Officer Reynolds was working in the courtroom as security when a lady became distraughtbecause she had just received a large fine andhad no idea how she was going to pay it since shewas unemployed. She began to cry and OfficerReynolds walked over to her and told her of theoptions she had. Because of his calm nature, hewas able to calm her down and give her good di-rection on how to handle the court issue. Hiscompassion was genuine and the professionalismexhibited is noteworthy.

Tom was honored at the July 18, 2013 Lans-ing City Council meeting by Mayor Billy Black-well.

Congratulations Tom!

Lansing Historical Museum UpdateECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT/CONVENTION & VISITORS BUREAU UPDATE

By Laura Phillippi, Site Supervisor

The Lansing Historical Museum and the Lansing Historical So-ciety kicked off the summer with the annual On the Run 5K race.This race goes through the grounds of the oldest prison in Kansas.We had 71 registered participants this year and would love to havemore next year, so please keep us in mind when you are schedul-ing your race calendar. We would like to thank the Lansing Cor-rectional Facility and the Lansing Police Department for theirassistance with the race.We would also like to thank our sponsors: Advantage Printing,

Anytime Fitness, Butler’s Muffler & Brake, Caraway Printing, Dr.Jay Carter, Citizens Savings & Loan Association, Country ClubBank, David Funeral Chapel, Exchange National Bank, GeigerReady Mix, Lansing Lumber Company, Lansing Veterinary Hos-pital, Virginia McQuillan, Mike Nielsen, R.L. Leintz FuneralHome, Bob & Terri Ulin, Vision Interiors, andYoung Sign Com-pany. We also could not do this race without our volunteers andsadly volunteer and Lansing Historical Society secretary SarahHuffman passed away on July 7 after a brave battle with cancer.Despite her illness, Sarah was at the Museum bright and early raceday preparing fruit for the runners. She was dedicated to sharingour history with others and will be greatly missed.The Museum’s summer exhibit “Q is for Quilt” runs through

September 7 and features 17 quilts from several sources, includingthe Leavenworth County Historical Society and Tonganoxie Com-munity Historical Society. We would like to thank Eva Waymanwho was instrumental in gathering quilts from her fellow quiltersfor the exhibit. Admission to the Museum is free so stop in andenjoy the beautiful quilts and air conditioning. We also have achildren’s craft table for young artists to make a project while vis-iting the Museum with family.Are you taking photographs on your vacation this summer? Be

sure to back up any digital copies in case something unfortunatehappens. Make copies of your favorite photos and gently writenames and other pertinent information on the back of the photoswith an acid-free pen. You may remember who is who and wherethe photo was taken now but years later will you or your familymembers remember? We just received a batch of prison relatedphotographs and most of the people are unidentified. After fortyyears, it is difficult to find people who can identify the people inthe photographs. Make it a family night activity and preserveyour memories for years to come.The Autumn in the Grove festival will take place October 12 at

Kelly Grove Park. The Museum is hosting the scarecrow contest.There are three categories: family, business, and school/day care.We offer great prizes and would love to see the “Grove” filledwith lots of scarecrows.
