The 2011 Adopted Budget authorizes a County contribution of $880,536 to the City of Wichita for these purposes. Sedgwick County allocates funding to the City of Wichita in quarterly payments. Federal and State grants also contribute to cover the operational costs of the Department. Housed in City Hall, the City of Wichita provides all administrative support services to MAPD.
