Frequently Asked Questions

Fire Prevention

Can I schedule a Courtesy Inspection or Fire Code Consultation?

Yes. As a property or business owner, who may have fire safety concerns about you operation. Contact our office at (785) 826-7340 and ask for a Courtesy Inspection. We will schedule a convenient time to stop by and address any concerns you may have.

How can I prepare for the inspection?

The Salina Fire Marshal's Office has prepared an informational brochure, "Are You Up To Code", that outlines the most common fire code violations. This brochure is design to address the majority of the questions regarding an inspection. A copy of the brochure may be requested by contacting our office and a fire inspector will deliver the brochure and go over any questions you may have.

How do I schedule an inspection?

A comprehensive guide to scheduling an inspection is available on our website. See "Inspection Requests" on the left side navigation bar.

How long do I have to correct the fire code violations noted on an inspection?

Once a fire inspector notifies you of a fire code violation, he/she will notify you and issue an inspection report requiring the conditions are corrected immediately. A reinspection will be scheduled to verify compliance based upon the schedule of the fire inspector. This is typically 10 days to 2 weeks.

How much will the inspection cost?

No fees are assessed for annual and semi-annual inspections.

How often will my business or property be inspected?

We strive to inspect all business annually, with target hazards semi-annually.

What if I have a question about the inspection and fire code violations?

You can contact the fire inspector who visited your property, or call the Salina Fire Marshal's Office at (785) 826-7340

What is a fire inspection?

The best way to prevent a fire is to prevent them from occurring. Routine fire inspections are one of the most effective ways to do that. The purpose of the inspections is multifold:
1. Identify and correct fire code violations.
2. Educate business and property owners about the fire code and general fire safety.

Public Works

Q: Can we change the intersection signals to flash red/yellow during late night and early morning hours?

A: Signals are warranted at an intersection when the intersection’s traffic volumes reach a certain level for a portion of the average day. Late night and early morning hour volumes often do not warrant signals, thus the question.

Flashing red/yellow operations have an inherent operational difficulty – drivers approaching the intersection do not know what indications drivers from other approaches are seeing. For example, a driver approaching the intersection sees a yellow light doesn’t know if the driver on the intersecting street is seeing a red light or a yellow light, and generally ends up stopping anyway just to be safe.

Still, might a red/red flashing indication be feasible? The City signals at one time were set to flash red/red during the late night and early morning hours, and City personnel found that there was no significant benefit to the flashing mode and a slightly increased risk of more accidents. Therefore, the City believes it is in the best interests of the citizens of Salina to maintain the traffic signals in their normal operations at all times of the day. (updated 12/2016)

Q: In my neighborhood, we don't have sidewalks and the school children have to go into the street to walk to school. Does the City have a program for sidewalks?

A: There are still many residential areas in Salina that do not have sidewalks. Most of these neighborhoods were developed before 1980, which is the year the City adopted mandatory sidewalk standards. Areas developed before that time had the option of installing sidewalks or not. That is the reason that one block might have sidewalks, but the next block might not. Most areas developed since 1980 will have sidewalks on both sides of the street.

We do have a program for constructing sidewalks along those streets that are designated to carry high traffic volumes. This includes streets such as Ohio, Crawford and Santa Fe. In most cases, neighborhood sidewalks would not qualify for this sidewalk program because residential streets are generally less traveled.

In order to have sidewalks built in a residential area, the project could be initiated and financed by those property owners who would receive the benefit. City staff is always happy to assist any neighborhood in project design and special assessment financing options for such a project.

Any additional questions regarding sidewalks should be directed to Engineering at (785) 309-5725. (updated 12/2016)

Q: May I build a fence in the drainage easement on my property?

A: When a lot or a tract of land has a designated public drainage easement, it is important to understand what that means to the property owner and/or fence contractor. Easements are typically located in the rear and/or side yard of a property but can be located elsewhere on a property. A property or site survey should show all dedicated easements. During the course of fence construction, the property owner or contractor acting on behalf of the property owner, has the responsibility to be certain that the drainage easement is not disturbed without City prior approval. Obviously you cannot build a structure in an easement, but it is also important to remember that you cannot obstruct or alter storm water drainage in a drainage easement as stated in Section 42-63 of the Salina Code (ordinance #04-10219):

“No property owner may construct maintain or allow any natural or non-natural structures or vegetative barriers (including but not limited to trees, shrubbery, berms, fences, walls or pole signs) within any drainage easement dedicated, purchased or otherwise granted to the public which the City Engineer finds obstructs, impedes, or otherwise interferes with the drainage of stormwater. Drainage easements shall not be filled or otherwise physically altered without the written approval of the City Engineer.”

If you have any questions about this ordinance please contact Engineering at (785) 309-5725. (updated 12/2016)

Q: The street light in my neighborhood does not turn on at night. Who do I contact?

A: If a street light is damaged or burned out, it is Westar’s responsibility to replace it. If you would like to report a damaged or burned out street light, please contact the Public Works, Engineering office at (785) 309-5725 who will then contact Westar. (updated 12/2016)

Q: Who is responsible for the sidewalk on my property?

A: Sidewalk repair or replacement is the responsibility of the abutting property owner per Article 18 of Chapter 12 of Kansas Statutes Annotated and Salina Code Sec. 31-700 et al. City staff is tasked with following up on complaints related to non-compliant sidewalks within the City limits (Ord. No. 15-10805, § 1, 10-5-15). If a sidewalk is found to be in disrepair, the property owner is notified that repairs are needed and that they have 60 days to make the repairs. Some property owners choose to hire and pay their own licensed ROW concrete contractor to repair the sidewalks adjacent to their property. Others elect to have a contractor hired by the City perform the necessary repairs and then the costs are levied against the property for the work. Reasonable extensions can be granted for repairs to be made at a later time during periods of bad weather. (updated 12/2016)

Q: Will the City install traffic signs at my intersection?

A: Stop signs may be warranted by high speeds, restricted view or crash history. However, stop signs specifically are not to be used for speed control.

Yield signs may be used instead of stop signs if the ability to see traffic is sufficient to allow traffic to pass through the intersection or stop in a reasonably safe manner, or a special problem exists where engineering judgment indicates the problem may be solved by use of the yield sign.

Following a request for a stop or yield sign, the City’s Engineering office typically:

  • Checks to see if the intersection has the sight distances required by Salina Code, which for an unsignalized intersection equates to a triangle with 60 foot legs along each approach to the intersection;
  • Examines police records to see if the accident history shows a pattern of accidents that may be corrected with stop or yield signs;
    o Two or more accidents in each of the last three years
    o A total of six accidents in the last three years
    o Five or more accidents in any one of the last three years
  • Counts traffic to determine which approaches should be stop or yield controlled, providing one of the criteria warrants the installation of signs;
  • Seeks approval from the City Commission to install the signs;
  • Installs the proper signs.

The full criteria for installing stop and yield signs can be found in the Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD), which is available for free on the Federal Highway Administration’s (FHWA) website. The Salina Code can be found on the City of Salina’s website. (updated 12/2016)

Q: Will the City post speed limits in residential areas to deter speeding in neighborhoods?

A: Speed limits in residential areas are 30 mph per Section 38-1 of Salina Code. The City of Salina does not post speed limits in residential areas due to the cost of the signs and the ensuing blight on the landscape.

Posting speed limit signs has little to no impact on the speed of vehicles. The only way to slow drivers is to put some physical barrier, like a speed bump, in their way. The City of Salina does not employ speed bumps because they may cause damage to snow plows and reduce response time of emergency vehicles. The Salina Police Department has a Speed Limit Radar Trailer they can deploy in the area to remind motorists of their speed. Citizens can also get a tag number, vehicle description and driver description to make a Traffic Complaint with the Salina Police Department. (updated 7/2018)

How Do I Find the Name of a Subdivision?

If you are unsure of the name of your subdivision, there are a couple of ways to find out. If you own your home, the subdivision name is in the legal description of your property tax bill or property deed. You can access the City of Salina Property Mapping and enter the address or parcel number of the property, then click on the results to display the legal description containing the subdivision name.

What is a Final Plat?

A final plat is defined as a division of a tract of land into two or more lots, building sites or other divisions for the purpose of sale or development and including all divisions of land involving the dedication of a new street or a change in existing streets.

What is a Planned Development District?

A Planned Development District (PDD) is a unique zoning classification that allows an integration of multiple land uses in a specified area. The purpose of the PDD classification is to encourage more creative and imaginative land use designs that are generally possible under conventional zoning regulations. A PDD may integrate single-family housing with other residential uses and even commercial uses where appropriate and compatible.

What is a Plat?

A plat is a map, drawn to scale, showing how a piece of land is divided into lots with streets and alleys, usually for the purpose of selling the described lots; this is known as subdivision. After a plat is filed, legal descriptions can refer to lot numbers rather than portions of sections. Plats can also legally dedicate land for road and other rights-of-way.

What is a Preliminary Plat?

The preliminary plat is a general layout that is evaluated to determine if the design is suitable for the land and complies with the City's subdivision regulations. Some modification of the preliminary plat is permitted with the final plat application submittal provided the original design concept has not changed.

What is a Replat?

A replat occurs when a property owner replats or subdivides a larger parcel of property into smaller lots, or smaller lots are combined into one larger lot. The lot boundaries change but the ownership of the property does not change until a deed is recorded.

Safety Belt & Child Restraint Laws

Are there different types of booster seats?

There are two kinds - high-back and no-back. A high-back booster seat provides head and neck support and can be used in all vehicles that have lap/shoulder safety belt systems. Some forward-facing car seats convert to become high back booster seats. A no-back booster seat should only be used in vehicles with built-in head rests. All boosters should be used with the vehicles' lap/shoulder belt system, never a lap belt only.

Where do I purchase a booster seat, and how much does one cost?

Booster seats are available at department stores, toy stores and other retail outlets. A no-back booster seat costs approximately $15, and a high-back booster seat ranges from $40-$100 depending on the style. If you need assistance, call (866)-SEATCHECK for the location of the nearest child seat inspection station.

Why do children age 4-7 need booster seats?

Seat belts are made to fit adults and do not protect children properly. Booster seats work by raising a child up so that the lap and shoulder belt are positioned safely. Booster seats reduce the risk of injury by 59 percent as compared to using only seat belts.

Water Department

How often am I billed?

Monthly

How often is my meter read?

Monthly

What am I responsible for?

The property owner is responsible for the water line from the meter to the home and the home itself.

What happens if I'm late?

A 5% penalty is added to your bill and a final notice will be mailed with a disconnect date. If your bill is not paid by the disconnect date, your water will be shut off and a $45.00 fee will be added to your next bill. 

What is wastewater?

Wastewater is the water that goes down the drain. The wastewater charge on your bill is for treating and recycling of the water, so it can return to the Smoky Hill River. 

When can I water?

Effective June 1 through September 30 of every year, you may NOT water between the hours of 10:00 AM and 6:00 PM. We ask that you be cognizant of the water you are using and conserve whenever possible. 

When will I receive my first bill?

Approximately 30-45 days after starting services.

When will my water be turned back on?

If you pay your past due balance before 4:30 PM, your water will be back on by 5:00 PM.

Where does the City of Salina get their water from?

We get our water from the Smoky Hill River and 15 groundwater wells located throughout central Salina. Those two sources meet our need of over 2 billion (with a B) gallons per year.  

Why do I have to pay a deposit?

All new customers have to pay an $80.00 deposit, which is split into two installments on your first and second bills. If you have 12 months of good payment history, your deposit will be refunded back to you plus interest or when your account is terminated whichever comes first. 

Why is my bill high?

It's likely due to higher water consumption. Are you watering? If so, you may try adjusting your settings. Also, check to make sure your toilet(s) isn't running or cycling, faucets, outside spigots, washing machine hook-ups, etc. 

Why is my wastewater charge higher than my water charge?

If you have been a customer for 12 months your wastewater charge is based on your average. Your average is often calculated using January, February and March when most customers use less water and will remain the same until April of the following year. 

Why is my water off?

If you haven't paid your past due balance, you have likely been disconnected for non-payment.

Why do the traffic signals sometimes change when emergency vehicles are around?

The City of Salina uses a traffic control system designed to give the right of way to emergency vehicles.  When the signal detects an approaching emergency vehicle, that vehicle is given a green light and traffic in other directions are given red lights.  This increases safety by reducing the chances of a collision and provides a faster response time to the emergency vehicle.  Also, you might notice cameras at some of our intersections.  These are used to control the traffic lights; other intersections have sensor wires in the pavement, and some are still on timers.  These cameras are only used to detect traffic patterns and change the lights; Salina does not use the cameras for photo traffic enforcement.

Municipal Court

Can I get an arrest, conviction, and/or diversion expunged?

Yes.  The process followed in Salina Municipal Court is found in K.S.A. 12-4516 and K.S.A. 12-4516a.  Court staff cannot provide legal advice about whether you qualify or any other legal matters.  If you have questions about the benefits of expungement or whether you qualify, you may want to consult with a private attorney.  The Court will not appoint an attorney to represent you in requests for a record to be expunged.  For more information and the forms that can be used, click here.  

Can I have an attorney represent me in court?

You may choose to be represented by an attorney in all municipal court cases. If you are charged with an offense that carries the possibility of jail time, you have the right to be represented by an attorney. You must hire your own attorney, unless you meet the criteria to qualify as indigent and ask the Municipal Court Judge appoint one for you. To ask the Judge to appoint an attorney for you, you must complete the financial affidavit for appointed defense services.

Can I speak to the City Prosecutor about my case?

When you appear for your first appearance, you may request that the Court schedule a pretrial hearing, which will be a designated time for you to speak with the City Prosecutor about your case.  If you are represented by an attorney, the prosecutor will not discuss your case with you.  

How do I pay?

We gladly accept cash, checks, money orders, and most major credit cards. Individuals that have presented a worthless check to the Salina Municipal Court in the past, must submit payments by cash, money orders, or credit cards. Click here for more information and payment locations.

I think I may have a warrant?

If you suspect that you have a warrant for your arrest, there are options available to resolve the problem. Warrants for minor traffic infractions and time to pay issues can often be canceled upon payment in full. Other cases require an appearance before the judge. If you believe that you have an outstanding warrant, please contact the Municipal Court Officer at (785) 826-7230.

Is there something I can do if I am not able to make my payment to the Salina Municipal Court?
