City Council - Regular Meeting

Oh, I don't want to do that. Make a mistake.

It's like I think a name plate or something. Poor girl.

Yeah, I will. Unless I mean

she's like you go right on ahead. kind of tag along with congratulations. Congratulations on stitches. Okay, it's 7 o'clock. Call the October 2nd Dodto City Council meeting to order. Start roll call. Lane here. Michael here. Daniels here. Macaran

here. Patterson. Mayor, it appears Council Patterson is absent. Okay. I would invite you all to please rise and join me in the pledge of allegiance. I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands. One nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

You vote on D. Okay. All right. Our first item tonight is our consent agenda. that we have approved the minutes from the September 18th city council meeting. Approve pay ordinance number 106. Approve quote from Lane Chris. Was this the one that was modified? Yeah. What's the name of the new contractor? Sergeant. Sergeant. Sergeant. Yeah.

Let's We'll just act on item C separately. Can I have a motion to Well, let me finish running through and then we'll do the motion. All right. Item D, approved temporary use permit for the fifth annual fall vendor event. Item E, approve resolution 2081 authorizing consumption and sale of alcohol riverfest park for the disc golf grand o opening and tournament. And item F, accept easements and rightway for carriage house number 15. I would like that to move item C from the consent agenda to be acted on separately. I'll make a motion we remove item one seat from the consent agenda. Second. All in favor say I. I. Can I have a motion to approve the consent agenda as modified?

I'll make a motion we approve the consent agenda as motiv as modified. Second. All right. We have a motion and a second. Any discussion? Roll call, please. Lane. Yes. Michael, yes. Daniels, yes. Macaran, yes. Mayor Walker on one F. Yes. Motion carries. And D D as well. Oh, yes. Yeah. And D. Yeah. Okay. All right. Item 1 C. Uh we got a we got an email from Joe that we got a better bid on the well rehabilitation. So Joe, you want to take off with that?

Yeah. So we uh we had Lane uh come out and remove the pump and uh it's been hard to find anybody else to to do the work and so they gave us a quote to clean the well and reinstall the pump. And um we had asked for a couple quotes and didn't receive any and given the time frame to get it the well done in the timing of the council meeting we went with Lane. We did finally get a second bid from Sergeant Drilling uh company. They used to be out of Nebraska or they still are out of Nebraska but they've opened an office here in Kansas. Uh they've done some work for us and and when Lane disembers their office here a lot of their folks went to uh circuit drilling um which Doug is real happy with those folks. They've done really good work and their cost is less than half of what uh Lane had quoted us and uh so I thought it was worthwhile to make that change uh to ask for approval of certain amount. I think it's $11,700.

Okay, any questions from Joe on this item? Motion to accept the bid from Sergeant Drilling. So move. Second. All right, we have a motion and a second. Any discussion? Roll call, please. Lane, yes. Honeymike, yes. Daniels, yes. Macaran, yes. Motion carries.

All right, item two is called to public. Members of the public are welcome to use this time to comment about any matter relating to city business not listed on tonight's agenda. The comments that are discussed under call to public may or may not be acted on by the council during this se meeting. There is a 4-minute time limit. Does anyone wish to address the council under call to public? All right, we'll move on. We don't have any old business, so we will go to item 4 A. Receive the presentation from HDR for the 95th Street Preliminary Engineering Study between Lexington and Sunflower River.

Thank you, Mayor and Council. We've got two individuals here from HDR to do the presentation. Uh this is a result of the Southwest Growth Study area and um so looking at the alignment and cost, we hired HDR um outside of the uh the original study to look at what uh this section of 95th Street would look like and estimate the cost for construction and I'll let the two gentlemen make the presentation.

All right. All right. Thank you, Mr. Mayor, may council. Thanks for having us here tonight. I'm Jay Aber with HDR. I'm joined by my colleague here, Braden Beamer, who's our municipal roadway lead in Kansas City. And just to talk through this, we've got a very short presentation here highlighting kind of where we came from, uh why the stud is being done as part of the Southwest Gross Area Plan. Uh and then Braden will walk through uh some of the elements of the design and the cost ele uh cost estimate. So, as I know uh you all are are well aware uh because you were all involved in the process, the Southwest Growth Area um and you go to the next slide. I think Mike you running this show. Okay.

Uh Southwest Gross Area Plan was um adopted uh by the council um back in the summer or spring summer this year anyways earlier this year. Uh and it included a number of elements about transportation. So in terms of public input, one of the elements that was important to the public uh and the land owners uh was roadways and mobility and generally improving the mobility through the area for all users, making it a safe and comfortable uh environment for people driving, walking uh and biking through the area. One of those guiding principles developed for the plan was to create a walkable and well-connected uh development sports mobility residents and visitors to the southwest growth area. So we did some traffic modeling with that and there was the primary growth area which was east of Sunflower Road and then the secondary growth area which is predominantly outside of city limits that's west of Sunflower Road. Um and with the traffic modeling for the full buildout of that primary area. Uh this section 95th Street had just under 20,000 vehicles a day about 18,000 vehicles a day uh which was really appropriate for uh one through lane in each direction. um approaching that limited where we might want two three lane so four lane road uh but still really in that two-lane road category. Looking at that full buildout then you can see as that uh as that secondary area would would grow and be built out uh that number might go up closer to 24,000 vehicles a day uh between Sunflower and Lexington. And that's really more in that four-lane road category. But that could be uh you know very long time into the future by the time uh the full area within the city limits is built out and then also uh the area west of there. So some of the recommendations for transportation uh just copied here from the plan uh with the primary study uh area full buildout uh recommendation was

a two-lane median divided street with the ability to expand to a four-lane median divided street uh particularly east of Dilly Road. Dilly Road was the entrance to the development that could happen there. I think there's some debate whether it was actually called Dilly Road or not, but that's was what it was on the county street grid. Um uh but that's uh kind of the entrance to that major development. So not necessarily an exact area, but kind of east of where that those major developments might happen. And then with the secondary study area full buildout, that recommendation was to expand that road from a two-lane road to a four-lane road. There were some graphics included in the plan. Uh you can see on the left there is the two-lane configuration with the wider median and on the right with that expanded to a four-lane road where that median is is narrowed. Uh but we still maintain um the amenities, the sidewalks, trails on the outside and and space for landscaping and street lights. The only other thing I'll mention uh you know in terms of the importance of this project is uh there was a marketing brochure produced uh in addition to the plan itself which was really to help the property owners uh and land developers understand what's going on in the area what's happening. Uh and one of those things in that marketing brochure was mentioning that uh further roadway improvements were planned for the area including 95th Street west of Lexington. Um, so that could be something that uh is desirable for developers to see that road improved uh and important for redevelopment in the area. And with that, I'm going to turn it over to Braden.

Thank you and good evening. Uh, we were asked to do a preliminary engineering study. Um, right there you can see the study area. It's 95th Street between Sunflower and Lexington. And so out there now you have a two-lane rule road uh with no shoulders. And so we asked to look at what a interim typical section would look like. You can see a wide median here. After working with the city, we elected to um build to the outside and work our way in. So if you go to the next slide, um like like we just saw before, this is a rendering of what that would look like. And then based on that, um once the full build is necessitated by traffic, then uh we would have the opportunity to build to the inside. And this is what that would look like in the future as well as as the rendering at the Lexington and 95th Street intersection. And so if you want to skip through these um you you have these these are the preliminary um plans. I ju I do want to highlight that you see medium breaks about every quarter mile uh for turnarounds and then uh ultimately when you get to the interch. And then after that um we came up with our uh cost estimate. It was about 13.6 million. And any questions?

All right. Questions from council? Yeah. So you're showing 120 foot right away. What what is the existing rightway? I believe you all have 60 on the north already. And then it varies on the south. So right away acquisition would still need to occur on the south side 95th street.

Okay. I think on the it would be good to show on the uh plan sections in some some way in the areas to show where rightway preservation or rightway acquisition is going to need to occur. Um, and then if we've got the if we've got 60 foot rightway on the north, I think the next thing I'd like to see is where in the in your typical section both the interim and then the ultimate where are where are utilities existing now and if they have to be relocated then where would they be re where in that section would they be would we preserve the area for utilities to be relocated to? you're predominantly following a lot of the existing grade, but you do have some cut. So, there are areas that would impact probably most all the utilities that are out there, including well, maybe not the new gas line. I don't know how much has got built outside of the Did the new gas line get built within the existing rideway?

No, private easement. It's in private ement. Okay. So, I think it'd be helpful as we use this as a tool for looking at development opportunity or development proposals coming forward where if something's going to occur, where do those utilities need to be need to be relocated to such that they're not impacting future construction in some way? So, that'd be my hot buttons is where where do we know where we need to do right away acquisition or preservation and what how are we dealing with utility relocations? So on the north side, would there be any right ofway acquisition that needs to happen or is there enough there? On the north side,

you would need temporary construction easements on the north side. Temporary construction, but not permanent. Right. And then on the south side, how much permanent acquisition would be needed as far as going south? Um I and even on Sunflower on the north south sections I don't have the number on the top of my head but I believe if you squint it's in the estimate uh the the square footage of of assumed right of way for the total length of the project. So for example the corner southwest corner lot on 95th and Sunflower Mhm. they've got it'd be the very first Yeah. rendering. They've got

two sections of property line that would be So, how much would they be looking at acquisition? We could we could get you a specific number, but I don't have that number off the top of my head for that southwest corner. Yeah, if you could show the existing rightway lines on the on the concept plan because I mean on on that piece of property specifically, it looks like there'd be a decent amount of acquisition required.

Yeah. Yeah, and we should mention that, you know, what we're working off here is county parcel data. So, we don't have surveyed rideaway lines. So, it is kind of an estimate. You know, sometimes rideways been dedicated under different um vehicles. So, um we could show the parcel lines. It's not an exact number.

Um and I think here too at Sunflower some question, you know, what does that intersection exactly look like? Because it doesn't necessarily need to be built out fully like this. There's some different options there. you know, this kind of sets up Sunflower, 95th West of Sunflower for an easy transition in, but if there's some specific rightway uh concerns in different places, especially like right here, I think it's flexible and how that could be final design. Okay. Anything over here? All right. Um, yeah, those were my I I think just seeing the uh being able to clear clearly see existing and uh proposed rideway line. I think it's a good point on the utility corridors and make sure that we have guessed right as we laid things out and and convey that our early intentions are uh conveyed in this drawing as well. So, good point.

Another comment not related to the 95th Street corridor, but more about more on the overall map. We were talking about this during the Southwest Growth Plan, the numbering of the street. And there's one where I think you're still picking up 102nd from an early version of the Southwest Growth Plan, but I think that would probably make more sense to be at about 99th Street rather than 102nd Street. So, it's more on the grid. It's half section line. One of these had had 102nd. It's that very first the opening slide. Oh, there it is. Yeah, you got us. Yeah, we had a lot of That was an old one.

That's probably right out of the old presentation, right? Version 0.1.

Okay. Well, um appreciate the study. Good information. um any formal action that we need to take? No, I don't think so. Sounds like there's a little bit of followup to do. Okay. Um so, you know, I think probably appropriate to have staff, you know, follow through with with with uh with the team and come up with a final product and get that out to the council. Here's the final product. I don't know that it needs to come back here for any formal approval. I would think it would get incorporated in the comprehensive plan attached. Yeah. or certainly be kind of this uh really good starting point for the CIP. Well, definitely with this with this project. Yeah.

Um but in terms of a Yeah. In terms of visioning document, it would be a comprehensive plan item, right? Formalize that within the comp plan. So, okay. Thank you, gentlemen. Thank you. Thank you very much. Item B, ordinance 2668, authorizing the issuance of previously approved industrial revenue bonds and X abatement for Prairie Fields Development Company LLC.

Yes, council. This project is complete now and at the point of the issuance of bonds. So, um, what you have before you in ordinance 2668 is simply authorizing the issuance of those bonds that were previously approved. Any questions for Patrick on this ordinance? I'll make a motion to approve ordinance 2668 authorizing 5.85 $85 million in industrial revenue bonds for Prairie Field Development at 85th Street and Kikapoo. Second.

All right, we have a motion and a second. Any discussion of the motion? Roll call, please. Lane, yes. Honeymike, yes. Daniels, yes. Mcmaran, yes. Motion carries. All right. All right. Item C, consider resol consider resolution 2080 creating benefit district for a portion of Evening Star Road and approving the development agreement.

Yes, council. At the last meeting, you recall um we annexed um the right of way um from KU. So that is now part of the city. Um and then Dave Anderson, who's here tonight, presented to you at the last meeting, uh the request for a benefit district to fund the extension of Evening Star Road. Um so the resolution 2080 uh forms the benefit district uh and approves the development agreement. Um the two properties that will be assessed uh for the cost are Geiger Readymix and My Store 3. Uh both have signed the petition. Guyer has signed the development agreement. This project is very similar to the Sunflower uh benefit district for the sewer that you approved um several months ago, maybe even a year ago. I can't remember exactly, but um these are special obligation bonds. So if uh assessments were not paid, uh that would not be on the city's budget. That would be on the developer. So uh open for any questions. Staff recommends approval of resolution 2080.

Any questions for Patrick regarding resolution 2080? I'll make a motion we approve resolution 2080. Second. All right, we have a motion and a second. Any discussion of the motion? Roll call, please. Lane, yes. Honichel, yes. Daniels, yes. Mcmar, yes. Motion carries.

All right. Item D, receive presentation regarding the Countryside Farms development. So um sorry Dave Anderson uh represents the applicant here. Um I did include in the packet which is typical at this stage of incentive request the application materials that were submitted. Um and then just to remind you in our economic development uh policy we have a step where the applicant simply comes before you sort of an informal presentation uh provides you information of what they're requesting and their project. Um you're free to give them feedback. Uh but we won't be taking any votes on anything tonight.

Okay. So with that, Dave, you have the floor. I snack close because it's all night here. Sorry to overload you. Dave Anderson, 9152 Shwood. So, uh, Mike, if you're running that, can you the map? Yeah, that maybe. So, uh, the old colored one's pretty good. Okay. So, uh, uh, to kind of get you guys oriented, uh, with the presentation from HDR, uh, the this road that you see on the the right, I guess I'm looking at the right, that is maybe Dilly Road, maybe not, but that's the road they were showing up there.

And, um, and north is to the top and that would be 95th Street. And we we were also shown as a little orange approach on that HDR presentation. So this is the southwest corner of that property. And Mike, if you wanted to scroll and they could see it's a 78 acre piece. Probably that last one is okay. That yellow. Yeah. And the pink. Yeah, that's a So that shows uh the yellow's R3 zoning and the top rectangle is C2. Um that was some time ago. So we actually come down and touch Lexington. We've not been able to work with the neighbor next door. We tried, but they may not want a road down there. So, we stopped short like where Mike shows. So, tonight I'm here. We're We're ready to get this thing kind of rolling. Um, and we would like to ask these things in the economic development incentive package, 75% uh tax abate, property tax abatement for 10 years, uh, which is following the the map that you guys have. and we'd like to do it in three phases. So that's some part of discussion I'd like to have you guys give me some feedback on and in that would be the material to sales tax exemption. It's a standard IRB request and in in that we would build 27 duplexes and 12 sixplexes. Um we've met with well we've gone through planning commission. We've had preliminary plat a site plan and a final plat which you guys approved and I think that's what you saw up there. Um, we would also like to ask in the ex in our application that our excise tax when we start building the product we you pay excise tax and we'd like to ask that that tax be put against the cost of 95th Street. I'm ass sure you're going to

talk about how to fund it and I'm well I would I don't know if you ask the property owners to participate say in a a district of some type we'd like to apply that ask you to let us apply that to 95th Street. Um we'd also like to ask for a special benefit district to construct those roads that you saw there. U we're the only property owner. So, as Mike or Patrick mentioned on the Guyer one, there were two property owners, but we'll be the only ones. Um, yeah, there's an overall comp set plan. That's kind of cool. Yeah, that's a little better.

So, the what uh we're asking and I think it's in there is the three colors in this three-phase approach on that. We could it's a currently I have a single investor. It's two sisters. Um, but we want to chop the 27 duplexes into 17 and 10 and then another parcel would be four six plexes and the other would be the balance of eight. And so what I'm asking is that we would have the 75% and then maybe say give us five years to start anything. You know, we'll start we're going to start the 17 and the uh six or eight as soon as we can get that road built. So, but they and then we could continue on. We'd come back for three bond allocations, I guess, is how I'd put it.

Um, so I'll stop there. Said a lot. Is there any questions? When you were just talking about those is that that's it. There you go. That's the break up you talking about.

Well, there's uh No, that that didn't get quite uh put together the way we were Well, wait a second. That is right. Correct. That is it. Yeah. Sorry. That's Kevin. And that shows councilman that shows uh the red is the first 17 duplexes and then that curve contains those eight sixlexes. So, we would ask to um for you to ask staff to go ahead and draft something that says as long as we uh start in five years, we plan to start the orange or red right away, probably go right into the others. So, there'll be no stopping. But if it got to let's say for instance the market were to slow down then we have the clock is going until we you know we have till five years to start the next the yellow one.

So you're asking for a fiveyear window to exercise all of the IRB. Yes. That that's thank you for putting it together like that. Yeah. But you wouldn't the your first IRB would be within the first five years. Oh yeah. Yeah. And then the the following would also would also fall within the five somewhere. The worst case I think is let's we'll start and the worst case would be in year five we get and start we have to start those others or our deals off is what because with IRBs you don't want to issue the bonds until your project's complete

right so that that's that's another point Patrick we will split it like this and so we'll do the red one complete it issue the bonds come to you I'm asking to hold the 75% so like in year three I come for the yellow on we'll start and then we'll issue those bonds and then the blue one. We may go one, two, three and issue all three at one time but asking for some period of time to ramp it through.

Any any other questions from one other just clarify one. So, what you're saying is you would commit to in that 5-year period, you would have applied for all three issues. Yes. Correct. Okay. Yes. The other Oh, sorry. I just Which would mean essentially you would have to have the projects done in the five-year period. We would have to have them. Okay. I mean, just the way IRBs work, you wouldn't want to

issue bonds until your project was complete because then you've lpped off part of the 10-year abatement. So if I if I started 1A, which is how they designated the red one, and then finished it and closed it, say we finish it in 18 months, and then I came in and asked for the second bond 1B, that's starting, and I'd finish it in 18 months. And then I'm at three years. Let's go to four years. And then I come back in year five and start and start uh the blue one. I may take another year. I mean the year six, but it's three separate bonds. Is that okay?

Can we make that work? The application would happen within five years, not necessarily. Correct. Yes. Correct. And then we'd close on each bond. Okay. Yeah. Got it. I knew I was making a mess. That mean would that be binding future councils to that at that point? No, because it'd be in a development agreement at this point, right? Yeah. It all be written into the development agreement that's approved now for the incentive for the incentive,

right? But with tax abatement, we have to do a public hearing on each one. So, no, it it would be in the development agreement, but technically you would still have to hold a public hearing and still have to make a decision on the tax abatement at that point. So, technically, no. It would not be binding on the council, but I mean, we'd never it would be guidance. Yeah, it would be they could vote a different way. So it wouldn't be guaranteed to Dave that he would get them because it would be non-binding to the council at that point. Yeah. Future councils.

So the other other question uh and and this is overall the 78 um I'd like you to consider and this is kind of just in broad um we're in the southwest area growth. I have heard that that maybe the discussion from the council is that tax abatements for residential perhaps ought to start heading down. Um maybe no longer 75, maybe some other number as a top. Um I'd like you to encourage you to look closely at this area since you've designated as a kind of a primary of growth and perhaps put it on your map and maybe stayed at 75. Um, we're the first ones in there, but there's so much potential. I I mean, that road plan's cool. I I just think that's that's just going to really do what you've thought you want to do in that area. And um so I if you could consider that when you're working on your economic ma the map, um I'd appreciate that. Or do you have any questions on that policy idea?

Well, no. I mean, would be incentivizing growth in the area where we say we want growth, right? I mean, that that would be aligned with our strategic Yeah, that's kind of the intent of the policy is to try to create the activity that we're trying to drive via our comprehensive plan, our strategic. Any any any other questions? No question. I mean, it's consistent with the plan. It's consistent in terms of use. It's consistent in terms of the ask. I think you got to work out the specifics of the development agreement and that's for y'all to do

and and I I didn't I heard the engineers I mean we're we're probably the guys right in front that'll test the right ofway acquisition and we're we're more than happy to I'm going to speak for them to donate it. I mean it we want that can only help us right um well help the development not just our development the whole area development so I think that would be a great does the excise tax sound okay to you think you might move to a CD or transportation makes sense that it would become part of that pool I mean it's kind of the idea right it's contribute excise tax is there to

it's if if I could just a reminder um on the excise t Within the excise tax ordinance, there's a provision for the council to grant uh this application. Uh you have to ask for it, right? You can ask, hey, could this excise tax go toward this arterial road and the requirement are is that essentially the city was going to be doing it anyway. So, it's got to be in the CIP. Yeah.

At the time. So, it's kind of headed that direction I think as inclusion at least the first steps right away acquisition or whatever. Uh so that it's a little bit outside of the economic incentives policy, but maybe we ought to incorporate with the with the changes we're doing uh to make sure that gets incorporated as part of the

and and one other thing on the benefit district. Any any problems with that or questions? Because we I mean we have one land owner, so we could do the petition. We have the construction cost estimate. we just do a development agreement and I'd like to be back here two weeks or the first week in or the first meeting in November because we think uh financing will be before we'll have financing. This is a $30 million construction and the roads about seven and the water line's a millionish. um which we can't put in the benefit district, which is not we're not doing that, but we'd like to have our stuff ready to go and start work this year on the road.

Okay, Dave, just a heads up, we I think you're one of the first applications that comes up. We have a bond origination fee now. It's in the fee resolution. I saw it. So, that's something to Hey, I live here. I like it. I'm I'm the only guy that goes and pays for my truck at the county and they go, "Well, your taxes go up because of Dodto." I'm like, "That's gossip." Go, "What is this guy's problem?"

No, I Yeah, I saw that's fine. Yep. And mayor if I could I don't want to confuse the issue or or or prolong the discussion but um in the packet there is this letter uh from September this concept of you know actually looking forward past this first phase and for the whole do do you want to address that at all at this time or just leave well that is the that was the idea of me Mike saying when you go to the economic development okay yeah I I don't I I Patrick and I we've talked I mean this is a little complicated and I don't we don't need complicated. I think it's more

uh partnership hand in hand. I mean this is where you want to grow. We're here. We're committed. But I think if the tax abatement

went down below 60 or 75%, you never know. It just it's a it is exactly what you say it is. It's an incentive. This is putting a little alcohol in the fuel to get this thing running and then I agree with policy. You someday down the road you should kind of slow down residential incentives. No other community does it. But look what we've got because we did. I think we got we're getting where we want to be or that's Dave personally. U but we need housing to support a lot of our retail establishments and our and our businesses we got here. So, you've kind of done the right job and I know you might have to trim it back, but I'm asking here and Mike, that was specific, but let's if you would focus on that specifically and treat it that way.

Yep. Thank you. As always, yeah, you mentioned water water. This is water seven water. And is there any expectation that they'll provide the infrastructure that they need to provide to support?

Yeah, we we've uh talked to them. I I just gave him the check to do the water study. I sent an email to Mike because he asked me to whenever I heard the well, I don't know. My friends Geer are taking more water than we thought. And I'm like really? So anyway, they they they have their issues and we've shared them. I'm I'm friends with Allan and Colin down there. We talk. But they they've got the study. Um to to to your point, Councilman, they the study was like 6,500. They're going to pay for 2500 because it has to look at their system expansion and we're going to pay for the four for our our part. So they know they got us new stuff. But they said they could supply us in this phase. After that, we need help. Yeah.

Yeah. Okay. Thank you. Oh, one final thing because you mentioned water sewer. We you guys g we've worked a dev agreement out and when sewer comes for the 95th Street, we're ready to hook on. But this will actually go down to the SRL sewer. Yeah. And we're all set there. So good. Thank you. Thanks.

Thank you, Dave. Item five, executive session for personnel. Rob has the template. I'll make a motion that we recess into executive session at 7:38 uh to discuss the administrator annual performance evaluation pursuant to exemption non-elected personnel provided by for by KSA754319 B1 with the open meeting resuming in the city council chambers at 7:52. Second.

All in favor say I. I post. All right, we'll be back [Music]

you you gave them to me, so I just put him on Rick's desk. Bill Thompson went over his place and got a rag or something. I who made the motions? I was actually text. You need to do that tonight. Well, I was curious. Well, I usually just do it all tomorrow. It's easier. You need to You need to run them up. That's the question. I usually just type it up. Usually scan it, type it, and send it out. Oh, okay. Okay. If you want to do that. Yeah. I usually scan it, type it. Is Kevin on any of these? Yeah. But what I'm going to do is and then he'll everything will be completely. Yeah. No, I was just going to send it during

Yeah. So you just But I think if you just do this or wait wherever you put in who made the motion. So on those um I think I think on one of them someone has to I have someone else. Yeah, I can do the rest of the years ago. usually that way I have a digital copy of it. So my thought was when I give bond council they'll sign it and then you'll have everything they'll scan it all back to you. It's all signed. Yeah. I can give. So,

so this why don't you if you want just do this send electronically and then always I'm afraid we're going to have a bunch of duplication. Well, no. If we if I send it out I'm sorry. I meant if you just send this one thing like that. Can I just send the whole that way for me? Does that make sense? That way I'm not missing. So, what I was going to do was digitally digitally. That's how I similar.

So, I guess my question is, you know, already in the track once once Kevin signed it because they take it and they have to put everything together anyways. So, are you going to scan all these and stuff? Yeah, I'm going to scan it. Yeah, I'm going to scan. So, those emails you got from me this morning that Kevin signed, same process. That's what I was going to do if that's okay. That because to me it's easier. I just pull it down and it's there and then in case somebody loses it or because it's happened before where uh I I sent it to him and then I don't know what happened they lost. So, I have a copy of it. So, will you have the mayor resign all this stuff?

Nope. So what'll happen is I'll take this I'll scan it and then whatever whatever signature they're missing I'll go through and double check because sometimes the mayor will miss a signature and then what happens is on this section here or not this section excuse me this section here which is the amended meeting minutes right where it's like so and so made a motion I just fill that out and then I send it off to Kevin who signs it and then they have a copy I have a copy and it's ours And I do the same thing with those two. So my plan is each time like I'll I'll assemble everything that needs sign. So yeah. Okay. And then I'll just instead of like before I was just giving you those.

Yeah. I don't care. But now this either one is fine. Yeah. Either one's fine with me. It doesn't bother me one way or the other. Yeah. I usually I usually get this if I need to send it to if you're here. I just give it to you. But because Kevin's not here, I'd rather keep track of it and then I can just send it off to him. He signs it, comes back to he gets a copy, I get a copy, Amy gets a copy, and that way it's there. All right. So, we don't have to send it back and forth because what I've we've lost it before and I don't know what Yeah.

still [Music] Oh, no. I'll confirm that. Yeah, I think future. There's no need for

All right. Assistant city administrator. Just uh two things. One, um the Riverfest monument sign. Um they should be mobilizing on Monday. I wanted to personally thank Joe. Joe found aboutund what 70 uh yards of dirt to Thank you, Joe. Yeah. To get that project started. That was one thing we're missing. Um, and then the other only thing I have is, um, I left it at your seat. The Potato Fine Arts and Craft Show is next week, next Friday through Sunday, um, here at City Hall. Um, you guys approved a donation or sorry, a funding request from the, uh, public art fund for that. So, I just for you guys to recognize it and understand and looking forward to the show. Lots of hard work going into that.

Okay, that's all I got. All right. Thank you, Brandon. Danny, anything for the group tonight? Uh uh yeah, I want to thank Rob for sending me the pictures of the water plant when I was ill and couldn't see it and appreciate that very very much. And that's all I had. Mayor, thank you very much. Thank you, Dan. Victoria, uh just a reminder, I won't be here at the next meeting. Got something else for Yes. You're a little busy that way. Rob, anything for the group?

Yeah, I had a couple things, but I can't remember one of them. One just I've been uh communicating with Mike, even Joe a little bit about potential speeding coming off the W dot bridge. We've had constant issues with that as far as looking into speed um or something, even if it's working with Levvenworth County um something. So, I think Mike said the next steps are kind of getting speed monitored to see if it's actually up there. Mhm. Um if there's enough there, like I suggest, I tend to say if you're going to put the trailer out there, leave the display off to where and wait for about a week to where people forget about it. Yeah.

Um to try and get more accurate thing on that. Um I had something else related to something like that and I cannot remember what it is right off. Don't we have a speed feed? Didn't we put a permanent speed feedback sign right there at off the bridge on wind dot? Yeah. As you come just as you get off the bridge going down and there is and there is a sign south of the bridge or north of the bridge. Does it records any speeds or just is it just feedback? Just feedback lashes to let you know it. There is a speed limit sign north side of the bridge

or a sign that says you know reduce speed ahead. I was just curious if that feedback sign recorded any speed. I don't I think you know what we got was just something that indicates your speed and flashes to hopefully pay attention to. Okay.

Okay. I do remember it because I made notes on it and actually a couple other things. Uh apparently we have a stray cat issue in the downtown area over by Cause Coffee and things like that where there are substantial amounts of stray cats and they are breeding. So, like if you drive by, there's a house that says five kittens. If somebody wants them, those are not ones that they had. Those are from straight. Um, so I've mentioned that to Mike and Brandon as well, but apparently it's pretty substantial to where one of the residents is about ready to start taking their rifle to them because it's that many. Um, uh, so that's one. Uh and then um the getting off of K10 as you go to Lex or go to 95th Street on Lexington, the lane where the left lane becomes a left turn only. Having better signage that that lane is a left turn only and ending on you because routinely seeing people in that left lane coming off the stoplight and then wanting to all of a sudden going, "Oh crap." And trying to move to the right. And so maybe some better signage in that area. So that's why I had

Okay, Kevin, uh I have had a business meeting come up and it's unlikely I will be able to attend the meeting on the 16th as well. So I will be in California and I'm not sure what my schedule is with the time difference. So I would say we better plan on I won't be available. Okay. Um we won't have a quorum. Yeah, that will uh is uh three. We need to have four. Four. Yeah, maybe we need to um look at a reschedule. Yeah, we could send out a Wednesday or Tuesday. Monday's might be court.

When are you leaving on your trip? Wednesday. So, it couldn't be a Wednesday night either then. No, have to move. There's there shouldn't be there won't be planning commission Tuesday. I can send out a calendar thing and we can find a date that works. Pretty sure we can't go without any action for a meeting. I mean, I would think I don't know exactly what I guess we'll look and see what's on that agenda. Yeah, maybe we could have a meeting without any, you know, votes needing to be taken. We No, we can't do that. Can't even start a meeting, right?

We just have to cancel the meeting, right? Could we do Tuesday? Is it Tuesday? Would that work for but early? Congratulations. Tuesday evening work maybe. Tuesday. Yeah. I know that won't work for me. Yeah. beyond wedding relation. Um, you see what's in the council chamber following Thursday. Can you do Tuesday? I can do Tuesday. Yeah. So, because we only need one of you.

Yeah. To be able to go and reschedule. There was a fire district meeting that Tuesday, but um school board candidate forums, but that doesn't you guys. It's okay. Center at the 14th. I could talk to the fire district, see if they see if they could potentially have their meeting at their station that day. Um, but we could also just do this digitally and schedule the meeting. Just find that's probably the easiest way. I'll put together Monday or Tuesday would be potential days that could work for everybody. Mon Monday would not. That's the candidate form.

Candidate form. Okay. So maybe we'll look at Tuesday um the 14th and I guess worst case we could probably meet in the senior center. No, we're we're in the senior Oh, you're in the senior center. Okay. School board. Got it. Okay. There's a lot of Yeah, there's a local Let me uh let me talk to the fire district and see if we can't b them back to their fire station that day and then I'll get back to you. Let me shoot an email off real fast. But can you postpone your wedding or or what are you doing at that time? Could you be online during I will be in a shop that has zero signal decorating it. That's

I mean I could I probably just won't talk and you won't I was just joking. Bad idea. Bad idea. It's okay. I already thought about canceling it a hundred different times. So we don't want to we don't want to be part of that cause of that. All right, let's work something out. I'll send an email out. We'll figure it out. We'll we'll get something figured out. Yeah, the 14th, I think, is what we're looking at. But I'll let me do some digging because I got to kick the fire district out. Give me Give me a day to get an email out. We'll figure something. Okay. All right, that's all I got. All right. I don't think I have anything tonight. So, make a motion to journ.

Second. All in favor say I. I. Toast.
