As we meet tonight, we also ask for your wisdom, that our decisions reflect your will, that we prove ourselves worthy of the neighbors who have selected us, that we prove ourselves worthy of your favor and continue blessings. In the name of the Lord we pray. Amen.

all right we're going to go ahead and call the meeting to order we've got a full house so welcome to everybody item two is roll call vote all right item three adoption of the agenda Second. We've got a motion and a second. All in favor? Aye. Any opposed? All right. That takes us to item four, recognizing Public Works Transit employee, Sean Driscoll, for 30 years of service to the city. Mr. Brimmer. And Mr. Stegman. Yes, give us a moment.

That's my light. Mr. Stegman, come join me up here, our distinguished transit supervisor. Man, it is, I feel unworthy to stand up here when I was given this document by his coworkers, Sean's coworkers, and that was my sign. It was like, man, don't screw it up, okay? And when Sean Driscoll, 30 years, that's not counting as part-time for us so back in 93 i think you started part-time for and worked two years part-time for the city and then you know 30 years afterwards and we're celebrating him today and and uh you know the smile that i just saw him him uh saw a glimpse of i mean that is that is you know when you read you know everything about sean you know there's there's words that i highlighted in here punctual positive team player helpful genuine hearts assist anybody from the bus barn to cm to whatever department uh when we had a tornado he was there to help when when the sun's shining and it's beating down like it is today he's there to help doesn't matter Volunteer, willing to provide input and an opinion. Contagious, let me say it again, contagious and genuine smile. Love for his family. A bunch of what I have in here are just reviews. When his clients, when our citizens heard that he was retiring, the output on social media toward Sean and how he conducts himself and what he's done for us for 30 years was pretty cool to see. And it is, like I said, I really feel unworthy to stand next to him up here. And what he does day in, day out, no complaining. And what he's done for us, man, it's what a deal. It's amazing and just glad that we can honor him today.

with that I'll let Jerry say a few words and and let's see if we can get another smile out of Sean right welcome if you just identify yourself thanks for being here Jerry Stegman I'm the transit manager well I've worked with Sean for the last twelve and a half years him in there so I've learned a lot from him just about how the routes run different things there the one thing I have learned is his dedication to transit uh just the different things i've known over the years when we needed something one example is when the hotel caught on fire it was a cold night and we needed buses for people to sit in you know i knew i could call sean and he would be there you know i called him he beat me to the bus barn you know i mean that's how quick he was to get there you know and everything else and there's just been other incidents like that the tornado i know he helped with that i mean i was out on medical leave at the time so i didn't get to see him in action with that But anytime we needed help, help in the bus barn, help with anything else, Sean's always been there anytime, volunteered to help. If he needs to cut his break short, needs to rearrange his break, work late, whatever it takes, Sean has done that all through the years and everything. Just his dedication to transit and the city has been great in everything else. And of course his dedication to cars and trucks. and things that he has, and the Ford pickup that he's had forever, and tries to think it's worth a million dollars. But yeah, but he's a great guy, a great friend, and the city will definitely miss him. And you just can't recreate that kind of dedication. Thank you, Sean.

So if you would all join me and just, I think 30 years deserves a standing O. So come on, everybody stand up. With that, Sean, I don't know if you'd like to say any words, but. Mayor, I'll hand it over to you.

Good evening, mayor, city council members, and city staff. My name is Susan Cook, and I want to thank you for considering me for the open seat in Ward 3. I know you already have my letter of intent and my resume, so I won't repeat what you already have. Instead, I just want to briefly talk about why this opportunity is important to me. At the core, I am someone who believes in showing up and doing the work. That has been a common thread throughout my professional life and my community service. Whether I've been working with families at Habitat or helping survivors of the 2019 tornado or participating in difficult community conversations, I have learned that public service is rarely quick or easy. It requires patience, humility, and the ability to work with people who may not always see things the same way. That is the kind of service that I would bring to this role. I'm not interested in bringing division into our government, and it's not who I am. I'm interested in listening to residents and helping the council move it forward. I believe city government is at its best when it focuses on the things that affect the daily lives of our people. So that's where I would focus my energy. Safe neighborhoods, economic growth, and housing stability. i also believe trust matters residents may not agree with every decision that city council makes but they should feel that the decision was made carefully explained clearly and based on the long-term good of the community i care deeply about the people of jeff city it's where i live it's where i'm raising my son and taking care of my parents it's where i've built my career and it's where i serve But I think the most important thing that I can say tonight to all of you is that I understand that this appointment would be a responsibility, not a title. And I would take that responsibility seriously. I would be honored to serve the residents of Ward 3 in Jefferson City and work with each of you. Thank you.

Thanks. All right. Next is Michael Dunn. Welcome.

I'm Michael Dunn, and I've been a resident of Jefferson City for the last four years. I won't be in town August 3rd, so I felt like this was an opportunity for me to say my words about why I think a resource center and emergency shelter at 107 Adams makes a whole lot of practical good sense for all of us as a community. I think, first of all, the Mayor's Task Force on Homelessness The results of which were shared in a report published in April. That report basically pointed to a resource center with an emergency shelter as is being conceived and considered now. And the mayor's task force included law enforcement, both Jefferson City Police Department and the Cole County Sheriff's Department. The idea that law enforcement would be involved in a resource center and emergency shelter, building relationships with homeless people makes so much sense in terms of security in the neighborhood and in our community. You help make law enforcement more effective by building relationships with homeless people. It makes it much easier to identify bad guys, right, because you know this community. I volunteered this last two years at Room at the Inn, and you get to know folks on a first-name basis, and I think that is really helpful to think in terms of security in our community with law enforcement in that sense. I think that we're in a place where we have wide community support. And by that I mean that the congregation that I serve has committed to support the purchase of this building when the time came. We set aside the money and the time has come. And I've also had many, many conversations with members of my congregation who are willing to volunteer to help support, to pick up trash, to do whatever needs to be done. You multiply that by five other congregations, three of which are almost on the same block. And you multiply that resource. I think that Room at the End is also kind of brought together, a very enthusiastic and supportive, willing base of support. So the support, I think, is there. So HCJC operated Room at the End at First Baptist Church these last two years. Prior to that, it was in Catholic Charities. And they've developed operational procedures that are effective, that's worked in terms of a place that functions securely and in the best interest of others. I think about the library. What homeless people get by congregating around the library, which I guess we would speculate and imagine on that, A resource center in emergency shelter could provide just down the hill and out of sight an option for those folks who hang there to find what they need there in a different place. What I've heard is that there's a lot of agreement about the fact that this is a thing in the city that we need to deal with and i think that the entities of our community i would love to see them come together in such a way that they we can work together to create a center resource centered emergency shelter that functions in a way that really serves our community in all the ways we would really hope it would my time is out

thank you for your comments we appreciate it all right chad egan welcome you brought a guest thank you all won't take too long mr mayor members of the council city staff my name is chad agan i'm here with my son luke agan who will explain why we're here

Yeah, thank you. I'm here as a part of my Eagle Scout requirement for the citizenship and community merit badge, where I'm supposed to attend a city council meeting and later discuss with my counselor a an issue that had a difference of opinions that were expressed. And that's, that's pretty much it.

All right.

Thank you all.

Questions or comments, probably not questions, but comments for our guests. We appreciate you choosing us to Yeah. All right, well, thanks. We appreciate you being here. We'll see if we can generate something to give you something to talk about to your counselor. It'll be rare for us, but we may find something. All right. That is it for our public comment, public hearings. We have none. Item six, item seven, appointments by the mayor. There's four names before you. Motion to approve. We got a motion and a second. All in favor? Any opposed? All right. Congratulations and thanks to those who agreed to serve. All right, item eight, a proclamation and this this is a fun one proclamation to Hawaii's girls state track champions. And I would invite you to the microphone and I don't know who's speaking or maybe all of you are speaking for but coaches. Absolutely. And I think Councilman like, well, did you have some comments you may want to make?

Well, Coach, appreciate you and the coaching staff being here and all the ladies here. Congratulate you all on the state championship. How many is that now for Elias? Do we know the total?

Total state championship, I think it's like 38 maybe. Wow.

So again, congratulations, ladies. I know all the hard work goes into it. Congratulations to the ones that aren't able to be here because I know it's the middle of summer and people do take vacations and college visits and whatnot. So we're certainly welcome to have you and wish you all the very best next season as well. So Coach Pitts, thank you.

Mayor City Councilman City Councilman like over appreciate you guys having us here. I noticed that I'm not on the four minute clock, but I'll try to keep it at the same the same speed the best I can. I just want to take a second to congratulate the ladies that are behind me, the coaches that are here as Like I said, Elias has a really long tradition of winning state championships. This is the very first one in our school's history that is in the largest class. They won the state championship in the largest class. Six years ago, there was a rule put in place that would bump us up based on our success. So this year we found out right before the season started that we were going to be bumped up into the largest class, even though that we were the smallest school in that largest class. But our girls didn't back down from that one bit. They took the adversity. They set the goal from the get-go that they were going to still achieve their goals. Last year, we finished third in class four. But this year, they said we weren't going to let that happen. They set that goal from the get-go. We went 12-0. We didn't lose a single track meet the entire season. Our closest track meet in the entire season was the state championship. And before that, our closest one, we won by over 30 points. And they took it all on. We were CMAQ champions. Um they the adversity that we handled the state championship day was rained out on day one. So we had to adjust and everything had to get moved to day two. They didn't let that bother them. They didn't let that deter them. They kept fighting. They stayed together. As I said to a lot of people, this is the The closest track team, maybe team in general, that I've ever been a part of. These girls push for each other. They cheer for each other. They made sacrifices, which I think are really cool. I want to talk about a couple of them. We've only got two seniors that are here today on this team, so we're really, really excited for the future. As long as their coach doesn't get in the way, we should be okay next year, too. But two of them that I want to speak of, Sierra Zuck is one of them. Sierra got injured early in the season. A returning state track member got injured early in the season. And that injury ended up holding her out for the entire season. But she didn't miss a single practice after that. She held blocks. She cheered for her teammates. She rooted her teammates. And she came every single day because she cared more about this team. than herself. And then Daylon Crisostomo, another one of our seniors. You know, Daylon was somebody who was a part of a lot of different events. We went to Daylon and said, Daylon, I need you to only focus on the pole vault because that's what we need you to do. And she did that with a smile on her face and she finished second in the state in that event, okay, in her senior year. So to see her realize that the team mattered more than herself I thought was a really, really cool moment. And then there's two stories that actually happened at the state track meet that I think are worth sharing. We had a young lady in our team who was going to win a race. She was going to be a state champion. She was going to be on top of the podium. And she hit the last hurdle and fell. And she didn't get a chance to be the state champion. But I want to say something. Had she laid on the ground for .97 seconds longer, We don't win a state championship. She did not feel sorry for herself. She got up. She finished the race. She took second in the race. And because of that, our team won a state title. And I think another thing that's cool about it is the lady who ended up beating her was her own teammate. Her own teammate ended up getting first. And the first thing she did when she crossed the line, she didn't celebrate her state title. She turned around and hugged her teammate. which I think speaks for these girls that are behind me and how awesome each one of them are. And then the story that I think a lot of people want to know, when you go to a track meet or you're at a track meet, there's a whole lot of people who focus on what happens at the track, on the track. But we were in the very last event of that track meet, and we were down. We were down by six points, and we had a thrower. Megan Bruce over here who was throwing in the very last event of the day, which is shot put. And it was so cool because the entire stadium was focused on the shot put and getting a chance to watch the shot put and getting a chance to watch Megan. And I won't lie. Her very first throw rolled off of her fingers and went about three feet. So I'm like, OK, I'm sorry. I'm sorry to prepare my second place speech. And I'm starting to think it's OK. Girls, we're coming back next year. But her second throw, she threw it better. And then her third throw, she threw the mark that we needed to win a state title. And then on her very last throw, she threw it even further. She won an individual state title. She secured our team winning a state title. And our team went crazy. I got a chance to celebrate with Megan and to be a part of that. So thank you guys for having us here. Thank you guys for recognizing these amazing young ladies that are behind me. I'm the one that's speaking, but they're the ones that deserve all the credit. and I'm really, really excited for the future, but I can't express how much this team means to me, it means to our community and our program, and just how amazing each and every one of these young ladies are. So thank you very much, I appreciate it. Please, if we would, give them a round of applause.

Ready 1, 2, 3. Thank you. Thank you. Take care.

Not to another fun become the agenda financial update. Yeah. Yeah.

All right. Thank you, Mayor. I'm going to go over the financials that I have. So the first one in the packet I've got for sales tax. So the city received the July sales tax in the amount of $1.3 million, which is about $187,000 more than projected for July. So our January through July overage is about $768,000 in the general fund. And then as follows is our CIP, parks, and public safety. And after the summary sheet, I have the details that follow. I'd be happy to answer any questions on that.

Okay.

The next one I have is the revenue model. so this first one is just a summary sheet and the protected projected overage for the year is at around 1.7 million and again there is details in the back nothing too concerning yet and still kind of as we are getting closer to the end of the year and working on budget kind of looking for those to make sure we are on track I'd be happy to answer any questions on this. all right i'm saying no the next one i have is the fund balance report and i'd like to say thank you to councilwoman allen for bringing my attention i'm not gonna lie there are a lot of spreadsheets that sheila had so um i'm glad she brought this to my attention so um after reworking this for the 2026 estimated unassigned fund balance percentage we're at 23.17 percent While also doing the rework, I looked at if we have a potential for supplemental workers' comp insurance or for health insurance. Currently, the only one we have right now is for workers' comp, and that is at $232,000 that we're going to have to potentially do the supplemental for. But health insurance is looking good still. And I will continue to monitor that, again, as we get closer to the end of the year. The next two sheets are the backup for those potential supplemental. So the first one I have is the workers comp. And you'll see down at the bottom that while there's about 18,000 there, we have to have $250,000 to meet our statutory obligations. So that's why there is a potential for a supplemental at the end of the year. And then the next one is the self insurance is our self health insurance and we are still looking pretty good, but as I get closer to the end of the year, I will still continue to monitor this to see if we need to bring a supplemental back for Council. I'd be happy to answer any questions.

Now,

First of all, I wanted to say thank you for putting up with my questions. I really appreciate it, and all your work. You would have found that anyway, so I appreciate it. Thank you. Can you remind me how much we had to provide for supplemental health insurance last year? Do you remember?

I believe it was around $303,000 for the workers' comp, but I don't believe we had anything on the self-health insurance.

Nothing for the health insurance.

Yeah, I believe it was just workers'

I don't see any other questions. Anything else? All right, thank you very much. That will move us to item nine, announcements by Mayor, Council, and staff. Administration Committee, Councilman Elders.

Thank you, Mr. Mayor. July is celebrated each year as Parks and Recreation Month. This year's national theme, The Power of, highlights the many ways parks and recreation bring people together through the power of play, nature, belonging, and community. During Parks and Recreation Month, we certainly want to thank and extend our sincere appreciation to our dedicated JC Parks staff. the many volunteers, park visitors, and program participants. We certainly couldn't do what we do without each and every one of them. At JC Parks, we remain committed to creating inclusive spaces where all members of our community experience the power of belonging. To help celebrate Parks and Recreation Month, each one of you are invited to Parks on Tap that is scheduled for this Thursday, beginning at 4 p.m. at Last Flight Brewery. A portion of the proceeds, evening sales, will benefit the JC Parks Foundation, supporting future park improvements and recreational opportunities throughout our community. We hope to see you there. That'll be our answer to any questions. Any questions?

All right. Thank you. Oh, I'm sorry.

no questions but just a lot of gratitude and thanks for the hard work that you put in and uh all the folks over at parks too so it's been a good month of celebrating parks even though we're we haven't had a council meeting to talk about it so thank you so much yes it has been a great month and hopefully everybody got out to hairball friday night it was it was a great concert over 1800 people are out in attendance so you know we celebrate the little things in big ways but we're pleased of not only everything that we're doing but the council support as well

and ordinance of the city of jefferson missouri amending the parks budget of the city of jefferson thank you mr mayor this uh this bill would amend the park's budget to authorize funding for several park improvement projects some being completed in partnership with lincoln university to include but not limited to installation of new bleachers behind home plate at vivian baseball field Uh, the crack ceiling resurfacing and painting of your walker for tennis courts that lock in Duncan streets. And then also the installation of the new windscreens there at the tennis courts with both JC parks and link university logos on those windscreens as well. Funding for these improvements is available through the reimbursement received from the more Jefferson city relocation project. I'd be happy to answer any questions.

All right, seeing none, there is a check mark. Councilman Hussle.

Mr. Mayor, I'd like to make a motion that we suspend the rules on Bill 26016 for the council.

There's a request to suspend the rules. Anybody in opposition? All right, we're going to ask the clerk then to read 2026-016.

And we're into the city of Jefferson, Missouri, amending the parks budget of the city of Jefferson, Missouri.

All right, you got 2026 dash 016 in front of you seeing no hands. We'll do a roll call.

All right. Hi. Hi. Hi. Hi. Hi. Hi. Hi. Hi. Bill passes. All right.

I don't 11 be 2026 dash 017.

And ordinance of the city of Jefferson, Missouri, I'm ending chapter 19 motor vehicles and traffic chapter 22 parking, stopping and standing and chapter 1 general provision pertaining to parking time and fees.

That's it approved this bill would change the parking time limits and rates for existing meter and permitted parking in Jefferson City. It changes the rates and times in municipal parking lots. It would change the time limited parking on the 400 East Capitol block as well along with some minor changes like holiday what days are declared holidays to match up with our current holidays. With that, I do have John Fitch, Operations Director, and Michael Pandy with PCI Municipal online to answer any questions, but I would like to say that what this bill does is allow us to operate and maintain the system that we have primarily. We've We've went over this bill, the core of this bill at public works and planning and so I believe it was in March. It was approved generally through public works and planning and there was a work session prior to that. So a lot of work's been put into this bill and if you'd like to talk about it in detail, I have the folks here to do it.

All right. Mr. Fitch, do you have any general comments, anything you want to?

No, he's pretty well summarized everything that's gone on in this bill. All right.

Councilwoman Allen.

Thank you. First of all, I want to say I appreciate your work. I know that it's hard work and sometimes thankless, so I really do appreciate it. And if I remember, I know we went over this in committee, but these are rates that you originally presented to us that are just the normal course of being raised to keep pace with not falling behind like we did for 30 years or however many years that we did not do anything with our rates. Is that a true statement?

Yes, and it's a little longer time frame than was originally presented, but that is to correlate with the pro forma that's being used for the parking garage and the conference center as part of that package. So what we did was there's the catch up, which is the dollar now for everybody, and then eventually in the premium zone rising to $2 as presented earlier. But then in years, three four five we applied three percent inflation we needed to have uh under the the request for the uh for the bond council was that we go ahead and put that in the bill so that has been added and the only inflation is there is three percent a year and brown averaged off to the nearest nickel thank you i appreciate you letting us know that um

And then I have 1 of the question, I believe I know 1 area in the bill is has to do with maybe not meet your parking, but the time to parking and that you can't park on that same block. And I know, I understand we're still having problems with people.

um maybe camping out in some of those parking spots is that a true statement or we actually only changed it where there was a cop there's a conflict in the metered parking we did not change anything in the metered parking okay thank you all right i'm sending no other questions thanks okay 2026-018

An ordinance of the City of Jefferson, Missouri approving the PUD plan for property address is 107 Adams Street.

So what you have before you is the ordinance for the PUD plan for the Resource Center and Emergency Shelter located at 107 Adams Street. The bill is introduced tonight and then the public hearing and vote will be on August 3rd. So site location is approximately a half a block north of Capitol Avenue on Adams Street, about halfway between State Street and Capitol Avenue. The subject property is outlined in the bluish color on the screen. The property is currently zoned to PUD with the only use of being an office building. The surrounding properties are zoned mixed use, PUD and commercial. With the property, the street view, the building consists of a two story vacant office building. The purpose of this request is to establish a resource center and emergency shelter within the existing building. The first floor of the building would be a resource center and the second floor of the shelter. In your package, the applicant has supplied a narrative description of the operational procedures, floor plans, and site plan for the rear area of the building. This includes the patio area with screening fence and a walkway ramps to the second floor entrance. These are just your preliminary drawings of what they're considering doing and this is all in your packets. uh the planning and zoning commission reviewed the pud plan at their june 11th meeting the commission's recommendation for approval failed on a three to four vote so the request comes to the council with a negative recommendation from the planning and zoning commission be happy to answer any questions questions

Thank you. There's been a lot of discussion about this. I was wondering if perhaps before our next meeting I know there's been a lot of concern raised about safety of the area and we do have within city limits some similar types of shelters, not exactly the same but similar. Would it be possible for us to get data on like types or frequency of incidents at the existing shelters so everyone has like an understanding of what might be realistic should this pass?

I will look to staff to...

I think we would need to probably have the addresses of the facilities you're talking about. Is that what you would need, Chief?

It's not working. Yeah, that's correct. We could, if we find the addresses that you're talking about and do a little research, we can certainly bring up our incident reports for those locations.

see if it would be similar okay thank you and i would assume that will include the current room at the end location too just for my request it would include that too okay thank you

does that answer your question yeah and i can send the addresses i just i think it would be helpful to know okay councilman thank you mr mayor would it be out of the line to ask for uh maybe is this expanding maybe up around the library and uh and things like that from the a few calls that i've had from people up there would that be worthwhile for us to also build with the surrounding areas like And I'll put it at the block of what is the Adams, I guess, where the Episcopal Church and the library in that area.

The 200 block.

Yeah.

And it is just worth noting that while there is a concentration of unhoused individuals there, the library is not a shelter. So it's kind of a different function. But I think it would be helpful to have the data so that we can see perhaps get the full scope of the situation. But data at the library may be different than what is at a shelter.

All right, any other questions or comments? All right, that will take us to item 11D, 2026-019.

An ordinance of the City of Jefferson, Missouri authorizing the Mayor and City Clerk to execute a $5,453,343.20 agreement with Brown and Root Industrial Services LLC for the Westview Subdivision Sanitary Sewer Westview Pump Station Improvement Project.

Mr. Brown. Yes, this project would construct new pump station out of the Westview subdivision. Current pump station is undersized and just cannot handle the amount of flow that is coming from that area. And along with that is the way it's constructed is a safety issue. So this project will construct a new pump station, a safer pump station that can handle that flow. This and the next contract were discussed at Public Works and Planning. And it should be noted that there will be a State Revolving Fund grant loan, I should say, with both of these contracts that you guys will approve here. I think the next, probably the next council meeting. There's any questions to this one.

Thank you, Kyle. Was this just something that is the, is the, when we were at the, is that what they were talking about? The, the county is also doing work out. Is it, is this coincide with that or is that a different, um, no, you've got, I can't remember the general saying that here.

You're spot on with that. The county is cooperating in this project really with the next contract. There's some storm sewer out in that area that the county is included with this project. So they will reimburse us for that work.

Councilman Campator. Yeah, I'd like to motion to suspend the rules for Bill 2026-019. Second. All right, there's been a request to suspend the rules anybody in opposition? Hearing none, we'll ask the Clerk to reread 2026-019.

An ordinance of the City of Jefferson, Missouri authorizing the Mayor and City Clerk to execute a $5,463,343.20 agreement with Brown and Root Industrial Services LLC for the Westview Subdivision Sanitary Sewer Westview Pump Station Improvements Project.

In Ordinance of the City of Jefferson, Missouri, authorizing the Mayor and City Clerk to execute a $2,895,979.75 agreement with CIP Utilities LLC for the Westview Subdivision Sanitary Sewer Course Main Phase II Improvements Project.

Do you have anything else, Mr. Brown? I was just going to say with a bigger pump station, you need a bigger pipe. So that's what this contract is about. All right.

Councilman Kempe. Again, I'd like to motion to suspend the rules. Okay. All right. There's been a request to suspend the rules. Any opposition? All right. We'll ask the clerk to reread 2026-0.

In ordinance of the City of Jefferson, Missouri, amending Chapter 19, Motor Vehicles and Traffic, Schedule H, yield signs by the addition of Notting Hill and Cathedral Rock at Portobello Place Drive and Schedule F, River Roadways, by the addition of Creek Trail Drive and Stadium Boulevard.

Yes, the rich subdivision is recently complete the roadways anyway, and this bill will allow the traffic signs to be inserted into our code and enforced.

In accordance with the City of Jefferson, Missouri, amending Chapter 19, Motor Vehicles and Traffic, Schedule J, parking prohibited by the addition of the south side of the 300 block of East Fillmore Street.

Keep me busy, Mr. Brown. Yes, indeed. Yes, this item was received at the Transportation and Traffic Committee, I believe in April, yeah. This road is really narrow and does not meet our code requirement, especially on a safety standpoint, get a fire truck or any other kind of large vehicle down with parking on both sides. So this would restrict parking on the south side.

Great.

Mr. Bremmer, you're back. Once again, September 12th and 13th should be an exciting time for us. Again, the air show is a great event here in town. And I know Penny Smith was here, I believe, last council meeting to present some information to you guys on that. So I know Mr. Fitch here to my right has been working with Eric Bowers at the airport and the air show committee to help put on a great show. So if there's any questions, John can answer them.

All right, I don't see any. Guess you're out to vote. Council has resolution 2026-15 in front of you for a vote. Yes, sir.

Aye. Michael? Aye. Young? Aye. Scholars? Aye. Allen? Aye. Holt? Aye. Musselton? Aye. Joe? Aye. Campeter?

Aye.

Resolution is adopted. All right, I didn't see resolution 2026 day 16, a resolution of the city of Jefferson, authorizing the Sydney administrator to execute an agreement with HR to compete to complete a position classification and compensation study.

Thank you, Mr. Mayor. I'd like to lay this before the council for a vote.

Second. I enter the motion and second to bring item 2026-16 in front of council. All in favor? Aye. Any opposed?

Um, so, uh, yeah, this is a, uh, to accept, uh, pay point HR as, uh. The company to do a, uh, class comp study for the city. Um, we've not worked with pay point HR before. Um, the last study was done in 2022 by, uh, evergreen and prior to that was 2016 with Austin Peters. Similar study for the city for for several different occasions who unfortunately weren't available to do it again. So we had to go out fully to bid. We were fortunate to get 11 mostly good bids and we had a really good team evaluators representative of the whole city and. We, uh, there was, there was a lot of work put into evaluating the bids. They were pretty lengthy and complicated, but pay point was the consensus winner. Primarily, they weren't the lowest cost by any stretch, but they were certainly closer budgeted amount, which was 40,000. They bid 45. And they really put together a quality bid, provide a lot of assurances that they're going to do good work for us. A lot of times with studies, a lot of these companies, they'll do a lot of good data analysis, but they put the work back on the client. We really, we really need them to work for us. So we felt really good about that. I think they've done a lot of work in municipal government, at least 15 different cities and varying sizes in the last couple of years throughout Missouri. So that was something very encouraging for us. Compensation has changed dramatically in industry and government. Particularly within the last 6 years, I mean, we just had 15 dollar minimum wage in Missouri at the beginning of this year, and that's not going away anytime soon. So we've got to get to work on updating our class and comp. And I think it's there's a lot of evidence and a lot of the jobs that we're going to fill around the city.

Councilman Likert. Thank you, Mr. Mayor. We're fresh from the memory call. When did they have that back to us by?

I have to go back and look at the timeline. We will have some estimates in time for budget. Yes.

Thank you. All right. I'm seeing no other questions. You have resolution 2026-16 and from you.

Michael young.

Hi. Hi. Hi.

Hi. Hi. Hi. Hi. Hi. Hi. Hi. Hi. The resolution of the city of Jefferson, Missouri, adopting the CDBG 2026 annual action plan and authorizing its submission to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.

Councilman Campeter, once again, I'd like to bring this to front of council for votes.

Second. All right, we have a motion and a second to bring 2026-710 in front of council. All in favor? Aye. Any opposed?

Thank you, Mr. Mayor. Before you is the resolution to adopt the Community Development Block Grant 2026 Action Plan and also authorizing staff to submit that document to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. It is due to HUD by August 16th. The city is an entitlement city, so we have funds that we receive every year from the government. As part of that, we have to develop an action plan that has to be submitted, and that action plan is what's before you. We did have a public hearing on June 8th, and then the draft annual action plan was also made available for public comment. And public comment went through July 8th, so for 30 days, and no public comments were received during that comment period. So besides that, the amount of the funding that we have been allocated is $274,742. I'd be happy to answer any questions. All right, seeing none, you have Resolution 2026-17 in front of you.

Young? Aye.

Allers? Aye. Allen? Aye. Holt? Aye. Hoselson?

Aye.

Joe? Aye. Campeter? Aye. Lester? Aye. Michael? Aye. Resolution is adopted.

All right, item E. Resolution 2026-18.

A resolution authorizing the City of Jefferson, Missouri to execute a preliminary funding agreement in connection with the proposed development project.

Hey, Mr. Mayor, I'd like to present this to Council for a vote.

Second. All right, we've got a motion and a second to bring Resolution 2026-18 in front of Council. All in favor? Aye. Any opposed? Mr. Sampson, are you Mr. Holtschneider? Welcome. Did you just identify yourself?

Thanks for being here. Good evening, Luke Holstner with the Jefferson City Regional Economic Partnership. To continue this evening on some of our economic priorities are kind of kicking things off. Housing's obviously been a number one priority and topic as far as economic development and community development has been concerned over the past handful of years. Starting to see some good progress. Truthfully, one of those areas we haven't seen a lot of progress in is in the multifamily arena. Excited, we've got a development team with 3600 Edgewood LLC that is considering a 180 unit multifamily apartment complex on West Edgewood Drive. The decision tonight is to enter into a preliminary funding agreement with the development team, which would basically allow the developer to upfront fund some of the consultant and professional fees associated with analyzing certain economic incentive tools that may be able to support that development. There is no cost to this city for this. The developer is here as well. If there's any specific questions about the housing development that he may be able to answer.

All right, seeing none, did I get that? Thanks for being here. Thank you. All right, you have resolution 2026-18 in front of you for a roll call vote.

Allers? Aye. Allen? Aye. Holt? Aye. Puzzleton? Aye. Jobe? Aye. Campeter?

Aye.

Lester? Aye. Michael? Aye. Young? Aye. Resolution is adopted.

All right, I don't know. Resolution 2026-19.

a resolution approving an amendment to the master development agreement among the city of jefferson the capital city corporation for growth and garfield public private llc thank you mr mayor i'd like to present this before the full council for a vote second there we go motion is second to bring 2026-19 in front of council all in favor aye opposed

All right. Mr. Sampson, now it's your turn.

Welcome. Thank you very much. My name is Paul Sampson with the Jefferson City Regional Economic Partnership. at the clicker here. So today we're here to present on this resolution, which as the clerk indicated, is approval of the development plan for the downtown conference center project, as well as authorizing a amendment to the master development agreement. This development plan is really the culmination of many months of work that Garfield Public Private has put into putting this program together. So some of the components that Mark Bullard from Garfield will present is the program itself, what does the project consist of, the budget, the plan of finance, and the schedule. Mark Graham with Gilmore and Bell here as well to cover some of those items. And we'll let Mark Bullard review the development plan.

Welcome. If you can identify yourself, we appreciate you being here.

Thank you, guys. Thank you for having me. I'm Mark Buller with Garfield Public Private. As Paul said, I'm going to probably have to ask how to use a clicker. Let me see if I... How do you point to him? That one's forward. That's... Okay. Sorry, guys. We're working into a delay. Yep. Okay, sorry for my technical difficulties here. So the hotel, as we've presented in the past, it was a little bit less guest rooms. We now have 215 guest rooms. We were able to increase that by finding some Space within the room without adding square footage within the building itself. We were able to basically make this building more efficient and gain guest rooms in order to gain some revenue in this project in order to help out this project. So our parking, we have 567 garage stalls, 52 surface stalls. We have a grand ballroom of 14,250. square feet. We have a junior ballroom of 4,500 square feet. We basically have a boardroom and a meeting room roughly 500 square feet each. About 10,000, 11,000 square feet in pre-function flexible event space. I'm going to do my best to try and point. Okay there you go. So You've seen this image before. This is one of the renderings that has been published. What you're seeing is just kind of connection as to where these spaces on the bottom are within the building. So on the right hand side where the cursor is, basically these are the windows to the ballroom. That coincides with this rendering down below that you guys are able to see. or hopefully you're able to see from that distance. It's a little small. Down here on the ground floor, we have the pre-function in the junior ballroom and then this right here is connecting to basically the pre-function for the ballroom on the second floor so you get a little bit of a sense of what these spaces are going to look like i think that you guys had dlr present this to you probably a little bit better than i did a little bit more thoroughly jim looney is a very good job does a very good job also from looney presenting the interiors Just go on to the next one. So down, as you go down Capitol towards Monroe, you will see over here off to the right, that's kind of where the entrance is to the hotel is going to be with the coinciding lobby and it's rendered. That's the check-in desk that you're seeing right there. So the right is where we were before in the conference center. As we go down closer to Monroe, right about this location, you will end up seeing that we have a lobby bar lounge. That's that rendering, which is basically right outside the three-meal restaurant. And this side, this corner at Monroe and Capitol is where we basically have the three-meal restaurant. We have an outdoor patio right here. There's a private dining room in there. And that's coinciding rendering that you can hopefully see from here. Going up into the hotel guest tower, you guys have seen this. This is just reflecting a typical guest room. This is going to be multiplied many times. This is just choosing one of the guest room floors. So you'll have probably about a little less than 200, about 203 I think of these that are typical guest rooms. Then we'll have some suites that get added on top of that. to get us to the 215. Over here off to the corner of this rendering, you'll see that we have an outdoor, a rooftop patio area, which was just basically outside of the rooftop bar. So that's one nice amenity that's gonna be part of the space. It's looking back towards the Capitol with some great views. I think that that's gonna be a prime spot for everybody to hit up after hours. This is just showing kind of the backside Basically, this is reflective of where the garage is, which is kind of tucked in behind the tower and on the side of the conference center. The conference center basically goes the full depth of the lot and the hotel ends up being fronting on Capitol with our 567 space parking garage shown there. The 52 spaces, surface spaces, are shown behind the garage. an idea of how the parking setup is situated. Getting into the project budget, so we'll talk a little bit more about this in terms of the McGowan-Gordon's with GMP, but the GMP right now is sitting at 119.7 million. The total project cost is $145,921. It breaks down as $119.7 million for the Mountain Gordon. The owner's furniture, fixtures, and equipment. These are things like the furniture in the guest rooms. This is the TVs and all the other equipment that goes throughout the space, like in the kitchens. We're going to end up having a ton of things that go throughout this space. OS&E are things that are also part of this. Basically, there are the things that you see within the guest rooms, the shampoo bottles, the soaps, all of those things that are basically on a smaller scale, but provided and required by the brand. you see our fee 8.359 the brand costs are things like the pre-opening services this is when the the brand sends out their pre-opening team most of this is the salary to get the general manager the director of sales and those types of early Staff that are critical to the opening of the hotel Other parts of that are just things that they have to purchase it prior to opening in order to get everything in place I'm ready to go for for the brand to be ready under third-party under third party consultants. This is gonna be our consultants that are basically like our third party commissioning agent who is gonna come in and verify that the contractor is built and installed the HVAC systems the way that they're supposed to. We also have things like our testing agency that will do material testing in order to ensure that the contractor is building the concrete correctly, the steel correctly. Those are the types of things that fall under that number. Due diligence line item 115,000 is basically things like our surveys and other things that really are going to feed into the design and the construction process and then the owner project contingency that you see at 1.4 is just to ensure that we have any contingency if anything comes up under the contract that the contractor is allowed to charge extra for this would be things like weather delay days that go beyond those that are currently held within the contract so we've got that contingency for that particular event to protect the city and their interest on this project Does anybody have any questions before we move on to plan of finance?

All right. So this is very similar to what we discussed at the work session a couple of weeks ago. Primary funding sources for the project are revenue bonds that are backed by the hotel and incentive revenues, revenues from the city's lodging tax, revenues from the parking system, including the new parking garage, and an interest that is earned on those funds during the period of construction. We're also utilizing the existing conference center fund, some of the existing parking funds in this current city budget, and as well as half a million dollars on non-ARPRA contributions. We have been awarded two different appropriations by the state of Missouri. One was in a couple of years ago, which was utilized to fund the demolition of the parking garage. The second one we just found out a couple of weeks ago that the governor and legislature were able to put $15 million for this project into the state budget for this year. So we were very excited about that. The final line item is the NDFB contributions generated through tax credits. So this is a schedule of the bond closing, which gets us from where we are at today in approving the master development agreement amendment and the design build agreement and gets us to a planned October 1st. bond closing. So between now and then the Gilmore and Bell, Stiefel, all the attorneys are diligently working on putting all the bond documents together as well as the numerous operating agreements that will go into this deal. Those draft documents are scheduled to be submitted to the City Council for their review on August 13th to be put into the packet. for the August 17th City Council meeting. At that meeting, those documents will be first read as an ordinance and there will be a council meeting on October 31st, or August 31st, sorry, which will be the meeting which will approve authorizing the execution of those documents. once the council has approved those and they go through the bond underwriters process in mid-september the city will actually be executing those documents which will then move us into a bond closing on october 1 and a notice to proceed turn to mark grab and see if i've missed anything there perfect So again, that was kind of the review of the project development plan. The other part of this resolution authorizes the amendment to the master development agreement. There's an exhibit in that document which spells out every dollar that's in that 145 million dollar budget and that has all been updated from what was originally approved in the mda to now reflect the actual cost of the project based on the account gordon guaranteed maximum price as well as the other costs that garfield has put together if there's any questions i'd be happy to answer those

All right, thank you. All right. Seeing no questions, you have resolution 1.6-19 in front of you for roll call.

Allen? Aye. Holt?

Aye.

Musselton? Aye. Joe? Aye. Camp Peter?

Aye.

Lester? Aye. Michael? Aye. Young?

Aye.

Callers?

Aye.

Resolution is adopted.

All right, item G, resolution 2026-20.

A resolution authorizing the mayor and city clerk to execute an amendment to the design-build agreement and general conditions between owner and design builder of McCown-Gordon.

Thank you Mr. Mayor. I'd like to take this resolution presented before the full council for a vote.

Second. All right, the motion is second to bring 2026-20 in front of council. All in favor? Aye. Any opposed? Mr. Sampson, welcome back.

Thank you very much. So this resolution will actually approve what is amendment number four to the guaranteed max or to the design build agreement. This is the guaranteed maximum price amendment and it has three components to it. One of them is the actual guaranteed maximum price construction contract. There's also a limited early notice to proceed that goes along with this. And then there's also a construction schedule that is part of that contract here's a summary of the guaranteed maximum price contract so the total gmp price is 119.7 million dollars that includes all of the design consultant fees all the construction services. McCown and Gordon's effort in putting the preliminary budgets together includes construction of the model room, includes construction of the garage demolition, as well as the actual construction of the new hotel itself. Of that $119 million, $6.8 million has already been previously authorized and has done things like schematic design, design development, drawings. Again, garage demolition includes the model room cost and branding study, which were approved, I believe, at the last council meeting. The limited early notice to proceed is $3.9 million, and we'll go through that in just a moment. And the remainder $109 million is primarily the actual construction of the hotel, and those dollars are contingent on successfully closing of the bonds for the project. So with the approval of this amendment, the city is only really responsible for an additional $3.9 million in construction costs due to that limited early notice to proceed. So the early notice to proceed is issued upon approval of the design build amendment. The things that go into that are completion of the final construction drawings, shop drawings for things like shoring, cold form steel, structural steel, precast concrete. It also includes procurement of a lot of long lead time items and equipment, such as electrical HVAC equipment and structural steel. And it also provides funding for some deposits to some of the subcontractors, which allows them to lock in their pricing, even though they may not have actual work being performed until later in the project. It allows McCown & Gordon to issue those subcontracts and lock that pricing down. Again, the value of that work is $3.9 million, and that will be funded through the conference center fund prior to the bond closing. The final piece of the GMP contract is the construction schedule. In the packet, there is a very, very detailed anticipated construction schedule. What I provided here is just some of the key milestones with that limited notice to proceed being issued today. October 1 would be the full notice proceed based on that October 1 bond closing. they would actually show up on site mid-November and start the construction on site at that point. There's been, due to some of the delays in trying to come up with the final plan. Some of the design work has fallen slightly behind, so we just need a couple extra weeks in order to catch the design work up and get them to work on all those shop drawings and things like that to start mobilizing. So that's mid-November of 2026. And then following through in October of 2028 is the anticipated substantial completion date. And the final completion and opening would occur another 30 days after that. here's a quick summary of what is being asked to be approved through this gmp contract again it's the actual total contract amount limited early notice to proceed and the construction schedule questions

Thanks for all your comments. I appreciate it. So I know the rest of the costs, other than the $119 million, are fairly fixed, but I didn't know what are the odds that, like for instance, the owner furniture, fixtures, supplies, equipment might come in beyond what our estimates, how solid are we on the rest of the costs?

Those are dollars that Mark has got put in his budget, and I will let him address that.

Thank you for the question. Those costs are something that we're working through right now in order to solidify. It takes a little bit more time to get through design in order to basically be able to get the information and approvals from the brand deal to be able to make those solid but the the budgets that we have set we feel very confident that they're going to come in with that we also have a lot of flexibility in being able to maneuver and find some solution that could be more cost effective along the way our interior designer is very effective at doing that they're very good at helping us find something that essentially would be similar if not the same at a different cost they're continually doing that but it's kind of a back and forth discussion as we get the feedback from the market that we work it through okay so you don't anticipate any large surprise related to that you know i can't guarantee there's not going to be a large surprise obviously markets are going to change with things going on but i i don't anticipate anything at this time nothing has told me that there's going to be a market shift and a cost increase okay thank you appreciate it

All right, seeing no other comments, you have resolution 2026 dash 20 in front of you for a vote.

All right. Joe, I can Peter. All right. All right.
