City Commission - Regular Meeting

Talking about the schedule, on 18th November, we had to speed up our design. We went to Aayog and he gave us permission to move forward with the design. 30% of the design was completed in February and 90% was completed in March. You can see how quickly we completed the project. 100% of the work was done in April. We gave the announcement of Boli on 21st April. On 19th May, we opened the boleys. We got 4 boleys for this project. Clarkson construction boleys were the lowest, so it was a very competitive boleys project. And we had submitted the application for a loan a few days before 1st June. And that's why tonight I want that when we get a loan from the FA, the Mayor can sign on them, accept them, and then get permission to sign on the construction agreement with 6 and Clarkson. If we get the permission, then the construction will start on March 27 and we will complete it in November 2027. But again, there will be no effect on flying. Any questions?

Brandon, can you explain again that how do you go for the payment of Rs. 783,000?

So we have a program called Passenger Facility Charge or PFC-PFC. It was implemented by the Congress about 21 years ago. They set its price at $4.50. That's why commercial service airports like us can apply to FAA to collect PFC. It is for passengers flying from Manhattan at $4.25, which is also known as an-planment. Last year, we raised approximately $300-$700 in the PFC collection. And that is why my intention is to include the local part of the FAA project in the PFC so that it can get help in the payment. This also covers the RIN. I mean, it covers the interest on any bond from these FAA projects. This project is a complete part for it. My entire intention is that once this project is completed and we get to know about the RIN, we have to give a complete reimbursement for this project, so I will file an application to collect FAA from PFC. Even for that application, there is a need for the approval of the application. We did the previous application in January 2025. The application has to be approved and then I submit it and submit it to the FAA. So, in total, at our current level, we will be able to pay that fee in two and a half years. So, are you sure that they will allow the passenger to cover the entire facility charge? Absolutely. Because this is a part of the entire plan. There is no part of this Taxiway plan. I just had a simple question from the public. Can you tell us how do you get regular funding for the airport? What is the city's general fund used for the airport? Yes, absolutely. So the general fund covers approximately $2 million for the operation of the airport. We earn about 900,000 per year from the Rajas and General Fund. We are getting about 600,000 from the parking of Bond and Biaz, which is paid in this. PFC is obvious.

There is another source.

So yes. How did you get the answer? So yes, about $2 million was coming from the city. But we are getting about 900,000 back. This is about one. In the fund, in the general fund, Bond and Biaz is increasing.

I'm Brandon. I'm sorry. I want to cancel the resolution 11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-

No, because once we get a loan, it will all be repaid. Are you okay?

Reena is coming on the podium, so yes, we don't want to steal Reena's moment. Good evening, Mayor and Aayupto. So, after talking to the Umbon Council, we decided to cancel the original resolution, which only included the design sign. This new resolution includes the entire cost of design and construction, so that there is no confusion in the matter of issuing a loan in the future.

Thank you.

Thank you for clarifying this.

Is there any other question for Brandon?

Is there any question on this subject or universal stipend? Seeing no one ahead, we consider universal stipend to be closed. Do we have any proposal on this subject?

So, I request that after receiving the donation proposal, along with the Sanghiya Vimanan Prashasan, 14-year-old Sgt. K.R. Roy Shah, 460-year-old Rashi, accept the donation agreement with Olsen Inc. 1-4-4-4-4-6-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7 And for the Taxi Welfare Purnimaar scheme, the scheme with the portion will be authorized and the resolution will be given. 114888808080808080808080808080808080808080808080808080808080808080808080808080808080808080808080808080808080808080808080808080808080808080808080808080808080808080808080808080808080808080808080808080808080808080808080808080808080808080808080808080808080808080808080808080808080808080808080808080808080808080808080808080808080808080808080808080808080808080808080808080808080808080808080808080

Mayor Adam Tai. Yes. Commissioner Mekulam. The score is five to zero.

Thank you. We will now take the second item of our agenda, which is the Link Improvement Program from KDOT, Kansas Department of Transportation, for the K-18 A1-7 Feminine Development Project. To approve the proposal and to authorize the Mayor to sign on the project programming request. I hope that you will think about it.

This item is to accept the donation from KDOT, for which we had applied for a few months ago on K177 for on and off ramps. This is shown on a picture. This is in the Connecting Link program, which allows the city to apply for those donations. This is a donation from KDOT. The wine point is worth $1 million, which will restore those ramps. And this is a division of 80 to 20. That's why our city's share is about $3,000. The ramp was built at the beginning of the 80s when the mall was established. We think about 84, 85. And unfortunately, I remember 84 and 85. KDOT will also donate 80% of its design project. This is why the construction department will recommend that we look at today's staff workload and find an advisor to design them. So use the engineer on call selection program. And then we will spend $270 on it. There are 10% trucks that are a high number for Manhattan. And for most roads, there are about 5-7% trucks. In Manhattan, we are about 2-3% because we have more roads. We are from Shahid Sheikh Adhar. So if you agree to accept the proposal, then we will come back with the engineering service association to design this project. In the spring of 2027, there will be a city-state association later. Right now, we are making a plan to start construction at the end of 2027 or the beginning of 2028. Possibly, we will close one ramp at a time. We will close each of them one by one. Possibly, from mid-February or March 2028 to August 2028, We are going to make some improvements in this. There are some problems with the cut with the inbound ramp because it is very high. That is why we are going to install some cover cutters and a new storm sewer there. One more thing about which we will talk to KDOT is to make some significant changes while staying there. We will also talk about improving the landscape of the outer inbound lane. And if the left and right turn is accepted, then we will have to make some changes in the signal as well. As you can see, this is the line, so this will be our new left turn bay. This will be a left turn bay and a right turn bay. And then we will make a right turn bay here. You will be able to turn right or left. We will have to remove this signal, remove that pole and maybe put it back here. We will also see it in design. But for now, this square looks like this. For landscaping, when you get down from 17th and turn a lot, we will think about landscaping or screening here so that you can't see the air conditioning on the mall, no matter how attractive it is. We are also going to focus on some projects there.

Hey, Brian. Yes. If you look at some pictures again, then towards the left turn lane. About a year ago, I saw a semi truck that was taking away from the blade of the wind generator.

Yes, that heavy loaded truck. He was trying to turn left and got stuck there. To get them out of there, we actually had to go outside and turn this signal arm 90 degrees. So one more thing we will pay attention to is to remove heavy loaded trucks because this is a super load road. Actually, it may be the same super load truck. But this is a very heavy loaded road, so they bring heavy and high equipment from here. So once again, I am ready for questions.

There was a question. Due to less traffic on the special street and highway, will the city have to issue a residential note to give its share of the land? Yes, it will be possible. Will this be a temporary payment? Or will it be paid by selling?

No, we will probably just take a four-year residential note on this, in which we will pay one and a half dollars every year. This completely depends on where the land and landscaping of Signal reaches. Alagat Sajha, Kosh Air. This is possible. I think we had also written in the memo that if it is possible, we can also use the sale tax. This is also a possibility. So there is some funding available. And when we reach the city-state agreement, we will decide it. But we don't know about those 30 crashes yet. So what is the new sale?

Won't it affect the vote? Anyway, it will affect it a little, right? Yes, it is possible.

It can happen systematically.

Is there a reason behind this? This is to estimate the delay. I know that this is going in the budget of the state budget of 2020 or what is this?

When KDOT, KDOT publishes the application for a loan, they have that money in the bank account. So once we sign this form, the whole purpose of this form is that we will say that we have money and they will say that they have money. We have money ready. This is the purpose of the agreement on which we will sign tonight. That Rajya Sastar invents those dollars and then he invents them here. The city-state agreement will only talk about this, who is making the bid, who is designing it and so on.

Is there anything included to arrange the cost over such a long period of time for construction? In fact, our estimate includes the cost.

We will see the estimate by 2028. That is why we have included the cost factor in it. Normally, historically, if we reach the time of bidding and we think that the budget for the project will increase, then we discuss with the KDOT and usually we reach another agreement, as we did on the Valley Drive, where the KDOT had given extra dollars to bid. So, historically, they have come forward and helped us if we think that we are going to spend more than the budget.

I just want to add a little clarity about the road sale dedicated to that half a cent, which we are discussing, and which will be on the end of November 3. We are committed to using that road sale dedicated to that half a cent for our neighboring roads and for some other small roads. Director Johnson was talking about the impact of half-cent sales tax on the funding of this project. If we don't pass the half-cent sales tax, it will increase the pressure on the roads and highways. And we will have to distribute it to local communities and such projects. That half-cent will be dedicated to the maintenance of the roads. Specifically, a five-year plan for those local and small roads.

Director Johnson, is there anyone who wants to make a tip on this subject? I think this project is very important for those two ramps.

It will definitely be good to increase them and reach more large trucks. I think, I hope that we have got the budget for this. Do you want to make a proposal? I will make a proposal.

Chelsea.
