[3:55] additionally proclaim september 27 2021
[4:00] as pow mia recognition day in bonner
[4:04] springs kansas and urge all citizens to
[4:07] join me in saluting all american
[4:10] prisoners of war and those missing in
[4:12] action and to observe this day with
[4:15] appropriate ceremonies and activities in
[4:17] witness whereof i have here unto set my
[4:20] hand and the seal of the city of bonner
[4:22] springs kansas
[4:24] thank you for your service thank you
[4:27] and if you permit
[4:29] just so you know a little bit about the
[4:31] reality of what we're looking for here
[4:35] there are still approximately 77 000
[4:38] from world war ii that have not been
[4:40] accounted for
[4:42] from korea there are 99 from kansas
[4:46] and it was a hundred last year so one
[4:49] had been returned in the last year
[4:52] from those
[4:54] 99 in uh from korea that are still
[4:57] missing 12 are from wyandotte county
[5:00] five from johnson county and two from
[5:02] leavenworth county
[5:04] so i mean that's that hits home
[5:07] and in the vietnam war in kansas there's
[5:10] a total of 24 still unaccounted for from
[5:13] kansas
[5:14] there's 1584
[5:16] all together from the u.s that are
[5:18] unaccounted for
[5:19] four of those are from wyandotte county
[5:22] and three from johnson county
[5:24] and then in the cold war era which is
[5:26] the 1950s to the 1960s and 70s
[5:30] there's a five individuals from kansas
[5:33] still unaccounted for
[5:35] now here's a plus side i just checked my
[5:37] emails because i get an email once a
[5:39] month once a week from from national vfw
[5:42] and there's the remains from a
[5:47] individual
[5:48] that was unaccounted for in france being
[5:52] returned home from world war ii war ii
[5:55] there are three individuals
[5:57] being returned home from korea that was
[6:00] in 1950.
[6:02] those of you who knew pete gomez he was
[6:04] probably part of that where those
[6:06] individuals got lost
[6:08] and he was one of the fews that
[6:11] came through it
[6:13] and then there are two individuals from
[6:15] the uss oklahoma whose remains have been
[6:19] identified as well
[6:21] so you know that's the plus side and
[6:22] that's what we're looking for because
[6:24] this is to bring closure to those
[6:26] families
[6:28] who have never seen their loved ones to
[6:30] come home you know it's a big deal you
[6:32] know as a mike and cher and pastor can
[6:36] share you know it means a lot to the
[6:39] families to have closure so that's why
[6:42] we have this
[6:43] and do this recognition and so it's very
[6:46] important thank you let's get a picture
[6:49] here everybody if you all stu stood in
[6:52] please stood in for the picture yeah

[8:09] on the bottom of the microphone and
[8:11] point the microphone to you
[8:13] there you go
[8:15] okay it's green yep that helps hey my
[8:18] name is kevin zimmerle um
[8:20] i live on stillwell road
[8:23] about a month ago approximately
[8:26] i
[8:28] put in the paperwork to get some streets
[8:31] closed uh oak street to be exact
[8:34] we were going to have a hoping to have
[8:36] like a block party
[8:38] we were going to promote it as you know
[8:40] come out and meet your neighbor come out
[8:41] talk to your neighbor we'll have some
[8:42] fun games just you know all family games
[8:45] and everything
[8:46] and i didn't get quite in like i was
[8:47] supposed to because somebody was
[8:49] supposed to do it which is beside the
[8:50] point about a month ago i put the
[8:53] paperwork in
[8:54] and there was some misunderstanding
[8:57] um
[8:58] uh if i was going to do it or not
[9:00] because i said i'm not sure i've had
[9:02] have enough time
[9:03] so i went back to my store got cash
[9:05] because you wouldn't accept
[9:06] my credit card i paid for it
[9:10] and then i brought a map up the next day
[9:12] like i was asked to do
[9:14] well through miscommunications it never
[9:16] got on the last city council members
[9:19] agenda to approve this
[9:22] so
[9:23] i put everything together i was
[9:25] requesting me of that night i push it
[9:27] through the door upstairs
[9:30] and uh the next day i got
[9:33] actually my wife got an email and she
[9:35] forwarded it to me
[9:36] and it says you know thank you we got
[9:38] all the stuff you needed
[9:40] and
[9:42] then it says according to let's see i need a list of the vendors
[9:47] which when i originally put the
[9:49] paperwork in i said i don't know the
[9:51] vendors yet
[9:52] because
[9:53] we want to get approval first and then
[9:55] try to get people to come in to do stuff
[9:57] so that was an unknown and i was told
[9:59] that's okay
[10:01] but says i need a list of all the
[10:03] vendors
[10:05] a list of all the plan activities which
[10:07] we're still working on which
[10:09] i don't really see how that kind of
[10:10] affects what i'm going to be doing
[10:12] and then it says
[10:16] a statement detailing how you are
[10:18] notifying the effective property owners
[10:20] in tenants
[10:22] of this is where i have the problem at
[10:25] just a few weeks ago we had tableau days
[10:29] i don't i i know this the uh
[10:32] chamber of commerce has a lot
[10:34] nobody came in uh told me about it
[10:38] earlier this year there was a maker's
[10:39] fair
[10:41] nobody came and asked me about it
[10:44] there was a junkers jamboree nobody came
[10:46] and asked me about it
[10:48] last two years ago there was a table of
[10:49] days nobody asked me about it
[10:53] now all of a sudden do i have to do this
[10:56] you haven't even follow your own rules
[11:00] i know some of those that have come into
[11:03] the funeral home and made mention of
[11:05] things that were going to happen i don't
[11:07] know what the requirements are
[11:09] can you speak to that the requirements
[11:11] for closing the street require that the
[11:14] group notify
[11:16] yes yes as part of our application
[11:18] processes that they've noticed let us
[11:20] know how they're notifying the shops
[11:22] if
[11:23] events are happening and you're not
[11:25] being notified please let me know
[11:28] because each application that we receive
[11:30] comes with
[11:32] information that they've notified the
[11:33] shops and the residents that will be
[11:34] affected i asked one business that has
[11:37] closed
[11:38] the streets multiple times
[11:40] i said have you ever done this never
[11:43] have i been asked to notify anybody they
[11:46] said they have never ever done it i said
[11:48] what about the vendors no
[11:50] they said we that we we provide one
[11:52] after it's over
[11:53] but they said we've never been asked to
[11:55] buy one beforehand
[11:56] they said they have never ever been
[11:58] asked notify and they never have
[12:00] notified any of the businesses
[12:03] so we feel that i'm i'm probably going
[12:05] overboard
[12:06] we feel like we're being picked on be
[12:07] honest with you you know you're asking
[12:09] us to do stuff that
[12:10] isn't told part of the application
[12:13] it's a part of the application that's
[12:15] where you saw it yes and they have to
[12:16] fill out the same applications so
[12:19] i don't know
[12:20] how
[12:23] they feel they haven't ever done that
[12:26] they said they have never since they've
[12:28] been doing this and i i will
[12:30] i could tell you i'm not going to name
[12:31] the person
[12:33] over here they said they have never
[12:35] ever
[12:36] notified any business and they've been
[12:37] doing it for multiple years and two and
[12:39] three times a year
[12:41] i know some of the times we're not
[12:43] notified at least they have to notify the city with their
[12:47] plan to notify people i don't know if
[12:49] that includes actually notifying people
[12:53] it is supposed to include notifying
[12:54] people but we don't
[12:57] monitor that we take them at their word
[12:58] when they give us the information so
[13:00] this is the sign
[13:01] i'm putting on the doors and this is how
[13:03] i'm telling people we take them at their
[13:04] word for it
[13:07] does the city do it when they have
[13:08] tableau days
[13:11] i know some people have been notified
[13:16] tableau days also isn't the city's event
[13:18] it's the chamber of commerce
[13:20] puts that on
[13:22] so we asked the chamber as part of that
[13:25] to go out
[13:27] and notify the businesses i think tyblow
[13:29] days is generally held the same day of
[13:31] the year
[13:32] and the chamber of commerce fills out
[13:34] that same application
[13:36] and sends us the same information that
[13:37] they're notifying people
[13:44] i know i know we've been notified
[13:49] yes
[13:51] can this be looked you know it it either
[13:53] needs to be done or does it one or the
[13:55] two
[13:56] you know i'm asking to be doing it and
[13:58] other people i've talked to they said
[14:00] they've never done it
[14:01] you know if if if it's going to be just
[14:03] an honor system just take it off
[14:06] yeah i even have it do you think it's
[14:08] important
[14:11] to notify them
[14:13] once it's approved yes
[14:16] you know if the city council approves it
[14:17] then yeah i'll go to the people and say
[14:20] hey this is what we're doing but the
[14:21] people that's affected already knew
[14:23] about this because we've already we sent
[14:25] out a
[14:26] kind of a
[14:27] we said you know say if this is approved
[14:29] by the city of council this is what we
[14:31] want to do so they said this is all
[14:33] pending city council approval if it does
[14:35] and we'll all get together real quick
[14:37] and we'll put something together
[14:39] and so all the businesses knew about it
[14:42] that we were trying to do this but did i
[14:44] actually notify every business no i did
[14:47] not because i don't have the email to
[14:49] the attorneys or the
[14:52] restaurants and stuff like that so
[14:55] but most of them didn't know about it
[14:56] yes
[14:57] because we're trying to get everybody
[14:58] involved
[15:00] so
[15:01] what you're saying is you think it
[15:02] should be required
[15:05] for to use the city streets to notify
[15:08] each individual business
[15:11] as a part of being allowed to use the
[15:13] city street if it's during business
[15:15] hours yes ours is going to be after
[15:17] business hours businesses are all be
[15:18] closed
[15:19] so it didn't affect after the hours for
[15:22] this
[15:23] in the restaurant she made mention and
[15:25] the bars
[15:27] it was not gonna go down that far it was
[15:28] gonna stop at sec it was on second
[15:30] street up the hill and everybody up
[15:33] there closes like around three or four
[15:35] and that's where it was going to start
[15:36] so technically everybody's closed anyway
[15:39] so we don't think we should have to
[15:41] notify the businesses we can notify them
[15:43] but i have to actually have to have
[15:45] their permission or anything because
[15:47] they're all closed what it won't affect
[15:49] them well it's not you're not asking
[15:52] permission
[15:54] it that permission is not what's
[15:57] requested it's the notification there's
[15:59] no permission
[16:01] okay that's yes no no this none of the
[16:03] this the tableau days doesn't ask for
[16:06] permission
[16:07] it's the notification i have no problem
[16:10] with notification that's right nobody's
[16:12] done to us though that's what i'm saying
[16:13] it's not standard so if they're not
[16:15] going to do it it should be taken off of
[16:16] the the form because it's not being done
[16:19] i have never been notified
[16:21] and i've been there and i and i have been notified we have never been
[16:27] so so obviously it's not uniform
[16:31] and the streets are closed up
[16:33] at our business
[16:35] and that that does have an impact it
[16:38] impacts
[16:39] all of the businesses whether they're
[16:41] happen to be open or not
[16:43] uh i know
[16:46] other businesses on the street are
[16:48] impacted whether they're
[16:51] able to get to it or not
[16:53] the for example the lawyers
[16:56] they may not have office hours but
[16:58] they're not able to get to their
[16:59] business at that time
[17:02] and that's been some of the concern with
[17:03] diblo days so it's not asking permission
[17:06] of the individual property owners it's
[17:08] notifying the businesses
[17:11] and
[17:12] that's fine
[17:13] i'm just asking for everybody to play by
[17:15] the same rules and requiring that so i
[17:18] guess
[17:19] we'll just have to require that they
[17:22] bring in with their application that
[17:24] they have notified all the property owners yeah i mean that
[17:28] that's all i'm asking everybody
[17:31] everybody's the same right you know
[17:33] because it's it's obviously it's not
[17:35] being done
[17:37] you know so not completely yes so you
[17:39] know notifying i have no problem i
[17:41] that's a great idea let me know that you
[17:43] know on a certain date two or three
[17:45] months out we're actually we're gonna
[17:46] plan this for the spring now and we have
[17:49] all kinds of great stuff planned we're
[17:51] gonna do like you know like your corn
[17:53] hole
[17:54] and then we have what we call geezer
[17:55] golf we throw the golf balls on the
[17:57] string i got one six and a half foot
[17:59] tall and that wide we've made uh a dice
[18:03] to play a
[18:04] sparkle or something like that and i
[18:06] made dice this big
[18:08] you know that people could throw and
[18:09] have fun with um i've made um
[18:13] dominoes mine are this big and that tall
[18:15] each
[18:16] you know it's just we want to do
[18:18] something
[18:19] yeah and get people to come out and
[18:20] visit their names and the spring comes a
[18:21] great time though we used to have a
[18:24] marble days in the spring that was a
[18:25] family fun event and there was a lot of interest in that we're actually
[18:31] going to try to get a hold of gentleman
[18:32] owns that business and see if he'd like
[18:34] to join us somehow and do something with
[18:36] us also on that that's our plans but
[18:40] um we'll try again for the spring i just
[18:42] want to bring it to you all's attention
[18:43] that
[18:46] it's not being uniform
[18:50] and
[18:52] we may have to redo the
[18:55] application process and put in that
[18:57] requirement or a
[18:59] sheet or an inventory of those that have
[19:01] been notified

[22:12] requirements it's also uh had a
[22:15] successful legal review as well so
[22:19] this again is a phase one design build
[22:21] agreement meaning at the end of the
[22:22] phase one they will deliver a guaranteed
[22:25] not to exceed price
[22:29] for
[22:30] two of the components and actually maybe
[22:32] a third with the well components as well
[22:36] and we will have the decision to make
[22:38] either yes or no on all of those at that
[22:41] time
[22:43] i would be glad to answer any questions
[22:45] you may have related to this
[22:48] yeah do you have any idea when this
[22:50] phase will be completed
[22:52] uh we have 180 days so that's six months
[22:56] so you're probably talking the end of
[22:59] march
[23:00] or sooner
[23:02] but
[23:04] very good is there anything else by
[23:05] other city
[23:06] staff citizens
[23:11] i'd entertain a motion that we can
[23:12] discuss on the floor mr mayor i make a
[23:15] motion to approve phase one design build
[23:18] agreement with burns and mcdonald
[23:21] ca s contractors llc for new water
[23:24] treatment plant facility in the amount
[23:27] of three hundred forty eight thousand
[23:29] eight hundred and sixty dollars second
[23:33] moved by
[23:34] mr ruiz and seconded by mr mackey
[23:37] questions concerns comments and we'll
[23:38] start down here with mr shannon
[23:41] sir
[23:42] um
[23:43] frank on
[23:44] their contract the
[23:47] terms and conditions for professional
[23:48] service
[23:49] specific contract
[23:51] paragraph to payments to the design
[23:53] builder
[23:55] i
[23:56] bring this up specifically because with
[23:58] when we did the police station
[24:01] and now the city hall
[24:04] we still have stuff that isn't finished
[24:07] and we are working on
[24:09] doing punch lists and the buildings
[24:12] we're literally in it and we're occupied
[24:14] the reason i'm talking about this is the
[24:16] paragraph two is payments to the design
[24:18] builder and there is
[24:20] um what page are you on actually my
[24:23] apologies
[24:24] um
[24:25] does not have
[24:27] lower left i guess it's technically five
[24:31] or page 5 of 13 of the pdf
[24:37] this is for the preliminary design build
[24:40] agreement
[24:44] what i'm looking at only has four pages
[24:46] on the agreement yeah this was
[24:50] the addendum of the terms and conditions
[24:52] for professionals oh oh okay
[24:54] that's the next page
[24:59] okay i'm there now
[25:02] thank you sir i appreciate it what uh
[25:04] what actually what's the question
[25:07] on here i believe one two three four
[25:10] five lines down
[25:12] a late payment charge will be added to
[25:15] all amounts not paid within 30 days of
[25:17] statement date and shall be calculated
[25:20] at 1.5 percent per month from statement
[25:22] date client shall reimburse
[25:24] any cost incurred by design build blah
[25:29] i'm excited that they have
[25:32] representation on that but i read the
[25:35] entire document and didn't see anything
[25:37] for the client side
[25:39] of either liquidated damages or in the
[25:42] event that
[25:44] i was kind of curious about the payment
[25:46] as well if we have any disputes
[25:47] there was a paragraph in here
[25:49] about being able to dispute
[25:53] what was
[25:54] it disbursements of funds
[25:57] but
[25:58] i'm curious on the 30 days and the 1.5
[26:01] if we do have disputes i want to make
[26:02] sure that we're not being charged during
[26:04] the dispute period well in the kind of
[26:07] the last few sentences of that same
[26:09] paragraph says if a portion of the joint
[26:11] venture statement is disputed client
[26:14] shall pay the undisputed portion by the
[26:17] due date and client shall advise the
[26:19] design builder in writing of the basis
[26:21] for any disputed portion of the
[26:22] statement um so essentially that means
[26:26] that we will not be charged during the
[26:28] dispute period that's right until this
[26:30] dispute is settled okay and in the event
[26:33] that we had
[26:35] any
[26:36] um
[26:37] late moments or things that were broken
[26:40] or punch lists
[26:42] how what is our representation for that
[26:45] well we get
[26:46] paid back anything
[26:47] this particular agreement doesn't really
[26:51] produce anything that you would build
[26:54] this is all development of plans and
[26:56] things like that
[26:57] development of costs
[27:00] so it's a little bit different in that
[27:03] particular perspective
[27:05] so this this is a standard agreement for
[27:07] turns in terms and conditions but
[27:10] we're not actually
[27:12] building
[27:13] a widget
[27:14] or anything okay so this isn't for the
[27:15] design build this is for the this is for
[27:18] the design part design design
[27:20] specifically
[27:21] preliminary design and product
[27:23] pre-construction services yeah
[27:26] okay
[27:27] uh i appreciate it but we're not
[27:29] actually
[27:31] building anything you can touch except
[27:32] set of plans maybe
[27:34] okay i just wanted to clarify that
[27:36] because i saw that okay the design
[27:38] builder lingo in there i wanted to make
[27:40] sure that it was just for the
[27:42] design plans specifically thank you that
[27:44] addresses it i appreciate it
[27:50] nothing further
[27:52] no other questions concerns comments
[27:53] from the council vote please
[27:58] voting on a motion to approve the phase
[28:00] one design build agreement with burns
[28:01] and mcdonnell cas contractors llc
[28:04] for new water treatment plant facilities
[28:06] in the amount of 348 860
[28:13] shannon yes
[28:15] thompson yes
[28:17] gurley yes
[28:19] stevens yes
[28:21] reeves
[28:22] yes
[28:24] mackie yes
[28:25] wood yes
[28:27] motion
[28:28] passes thank you all thank you sir
[28:32] on to item number two the kdot grant
[28:34] agreement traffic signal modernization i
[28:37] guess that's the same stuff
[28:39] personnel
[28:44] well there we go we gotta go green
[28:50] okay this this actually is for approval
[28:53] of something that we had discussed and
[28:55] uh
[28:56] and
[28:57] verbally approved earlier to see that we
[29:00] could go ahead and proceed with it uh
[29:02] kdot is now catching up with the
[29:05] paperwork to get it to where we actually
[29:07] have to sign and execute an agreement
[29:10] but this has to do with the traffic
[29:12] signal lighting systems and the
[29:14] improvements uh funding was approved
[29:17] may 26 earlier this year
[29:20] it's a grant
[29:21] so this is not money that we need to pay
[29:23] back but we do need to participate in
[29:26] the way of
[29:27] funding engineering costs and design
[29:29] stuff and getting it all approved which
[29:32] we already have underway
[29:35] so
[29:36] the total estimated cost of construction
[29:39] component of the project
[29:41] at this particular time is 283
[29:45] 250
[29:47] the grant portion of the project will
[29:49] fund 90 of that
[29:52] at 254
[29:54] 925. the remaining 28
[29:57] 325 is the city's
[30:00] match to this in addition to the monies
[30:02] we've spent on engineering to meet the
[30:05] design and all of that criteria
[30:09] we do have this included in the 2022
[30:12] budget
[30:13] and
[30:15] that's about all i have to say about it
[30:17] i guess
[30:18] seeking your approval
[30:21] very good anything else from other staff
[30:25] citizens questions concerns
[30:30] none i'd entertain a motion
[30:33] mr mayor i make a motion to approve the
[30:35] grant agreement with the kansas
[30:37] department of transportation for signal
[30:39] traffic signal modernization in the
[30:42] amount of 254
[30:44] 925
[30:46] and authorize the mayor to execute the
[30:49] agreement okay
[30:53] so moved by mr mackey and seconded by
[30:56] mrs gurley
[30:59] and questions concerns comments we'll
[31:00] start down here with mr reeves no
[31:02] questions here
[31:06] the details in it were so incredibly
[31:09] specific that
[31:10] yeah no questions
[31:12] is there a timeline under which you
[31:14] expect this to happen
[31:22] frank mike please sir
[31:24] the goal at this time is to have all of
[31:27] the design criteria requirements met
[31:31] somewhere in the next couple of months
[31:33] so that we can actually be advertising
[31:37] with the blessing of kdot
[31:39] so that we can award this in january of
[31:43] 2022 because that's when
[31:47] closures while they're
[31:49] physically doing things i don't know if
[31:51] we'll need to do that or not because
[31:55] signal heads will need to be adjusted
[31:57] and or replaced friends for an extended
[32:00] period of time
[32:01] pardon me not actively closing roads for
[32:03] any extended period oh it shouldn't be
[32:05] should be very brief
[32:12] sure it seems as though um this is a
[32:16] small amount compared to what a traffic
[32:18] signal costs so the amount of uh
[32:22] hard
[32:23] equipment
[32:24] um
[32:25] doesn't seem to be that it's it's
[32:28] very great
[32:31] i thought that as well
[32:33] so the original consultant i asked them
[32:37] to confirm in writing that
[32:39] this was still an accurate number
[32:42] and uh they confirmed back and said yeah
[32:44] that's what the numbers are but the
[32:46] proof will be in the bidding i guess
[32:48] yeah because i know uh company that
[32:54] light is woeful woefully past its age of uh
[33:00] most of this is electronics and stuff
[33:02] but right exactly that's even that's
[33:05] hard to get these days so you know
[33:07] things have changed in the supply chain
[33:09] in the last
[33:10] six or eight months at least but it was
[33:13] hopefully that all of this will be
[33:15] modernized and upgraded
[33:18] to a level that we all expect yeah yeah
[33:20] thank you
[33:21] no other questions concerns comments
[33:24] vote please
[33:26] voting on a motion to approve the grant
[33:28] agreement with the kansas department of transportation for traffic
[33:32] signal modernization in the amount of
[33:34] 254 925
[33:37] and authorized the mayor to execute the
[33:39] agreement gurley yes
[33:42] thompson yes
[33:44] shannon yes
[33:46] stevens yes
[33:49] mackey yes
[33:50] reeves yes
[33:52] wood yes
[33:53] motion passes
[33:56] very good thank you
[33:59] uh it's the end of our new business on
[34:02] to our reports the first of which mr
[34:05] peterson's city manager report um just a
[34:08] quick note to the council that there
[34:10] will be an induction ceremony at the uh
[34:13] national agricultural center and hall of
[34:15] fame that uh
[34:17] council is invited to it's on october
[34:20] 23rd if you are wanting to attend that
[34:22] please get with chris as quickly as you
[34:25] can tonight i guess um good time is at 11 a.m starts
[34:32] and i should say this is uh induction um
[34:35] three individuals um
[34:37] including former senator pat roberts um
[34:40] there so again yeah that's 11 a.m
[34:43] saturday
[34:44] october 23rd
[34:47] so there's that um
[34:50] i also want to follow up on our robust
[34:52] conversation with kdot um
[34:54] with our last council meeting did have
[34:56] an opportunity to meet with them
[34:58] about k7 in particular
[35:01] i have
[35:02] since following
[35:04] the direction from cada
[35:06] reached out to them and officially asked
[35:09] that they revise or review the k-7 plan
[35:13] specifically between the northern and
[35:16] southern border of bonner springs
[35:19] i believe there's
[35:21] pretty uh resounding agreement across
[35:23] the board that that is something that
[35:26] needs to be reevaluated um as far as the
[35:30] original um mid-2000 plan so
[35:34] i don't have any other update than that
[35:36] but the request officially has been made
[35:38] um it sounds like that is a request
[35:40] that's also being made in olathe as well
[35:43] as spring hill
[35:44] so this is not
[35:46] we're not alone as far as that's
[35:48] concerned
[35:49] i did also bring up um some of the
[35:53] maintenance considerations out in the
[35:55] right of way to include the four foot
[35:57] bushes
[35:58] so hopefully we can get those addressed
[36:00] as well so
[36:01] um and then lastly um
[36:05] we've been somewhat immune for a while
[36:07] for from vandalism unfortunately that
[36:09] seems to be back again so i am just
[36:12] letting everybody know
[36:14] today we did have lions park restroom
[36:17] both um
[36:19] oh both sinks their hung sinks were
[36:23] torn off of
[36:24] the walls one was earlier today and then
[36:26] the other one was in the last
[36:28] hour or so so if there's anybody that
[36:30] knows
[36:31] anything about that please reach out to
[36:34] the police department
[36:36] unfortunately until we can get that
[36:38] addressed obviously that bathroom will
[36:39] be closed which is unfortunate given um
[36:43] baseball season and everything else just
[36:45] starting out so
[36:47] again be on the lookout for
[36:49] suspicious things like that and please
[36:51] reach out to the police department
[36:53] if you see anything concerning
[36:56] that is all i have this evening
[36:58] thank you very much and we'll start with
[37:00] city council items we'll start right
[37:02] here ma'am
[37:03] i simply am impressed that the amount of
[37:06] detail that goes into these plans
[37:09] for the like the lights and everything
[37:13] and i i know there's a lot of work
[37:15] involved and i thank those who are
[37:17] involved with it that's all i have to
[37:18] say
[37:21] nothing further for me
[37:25] yeah a couple items i've been asked to
[37:28] reiterate i know i brought these up
[37:30] before but because other people said so
[37:33] i said well i mentioned again that's
[37:35] uh metropolitan from nettleton
[37:38] to lakewood on the
[37:40] really on both sides
[37:43] so
[37:44] mowing and trimming needs to be done
[37:46] there's
[37:47] uh
[37:48] limbs still hanging over the road
[37:51] uh also
[37:53] uh on metropolitan
[37:56] north 134th street to the aquatic center
[38:00] on that curve there there's stuff
[38:02] hanging out over the road
[38:04] and also on the curve on lakewood from
[38:07] silver hill
[38:08] on north uh let's see no excuse me from
[38:11] timberwolve lane tableau lane
[38:13] on north on both sides
[38:16] there's
[38:17] stuff that boeing that needs to be taken
[38:19] care of there and some branch trimming
[38:22] especially on the east side
[38:25] to open up visibility on that curve
[38:28] and so
[38:30] there it is i thank you very much
[38:35] very good sir nothing
[38:37] sir
[38:40] um i wanted to mention a joking moment
[38:43] of silence for the fire truck it was
[38:45] moved
[38:48] my second thing i wanted to thank
[38:50] u.s senator roger marshall for coming
[38:52] out to bonner springs and speaking
[38:55] he did a town hall here it was one of
[38:57] two we were chosen bonner springs as
[39:00] well as olathe
[39:02] the one of the ladies drove 40 minutes
[39:06] just to be able to come to bonner
[39:07] springs to hear him speak
[39:09] as well as i wanted to thank
[39:13] chuck steitz and mike kane both held
[39:16] events in bonner springs as well chuck
[39:18] steins had one at one of our event
[39:20] centers and mike kane did one at the
[39:23] park actually i believe it might have
[39:25] been
[39:26] across the street from the ag hall
[39:29] my third
[39:33] i wanted to
[39:35] bring up something that i've
[39:36] noticed a whole bunch
[39:38] pocket listings we've got a handful of
[39:40] realtors in bonner springs
[39:43] some of them good some of them not so
[39:45] good
[39:46] but our valuations in bonner are
[39:49] literally going through the roof and not
[39:51] in a negative way it's a good thing but
[39:54] because it's the recognition of the
[39:55] quality of our community and the things
[39:57] that we're doing here to bring people in
[39:59] um but with that
[40:02] if you're wanting to list or want to
[40:04] sell your home feel free to give me a
[40:06] call i'm not a licensed attorney or a
[40:08] realtor i won't charge anything but i'm
[40:11] happy to help because we've had several
[40:14] not hedge funds but there's a couple
[40:16] investors that have been calling people
[40:18] i know that a neighbor across the street
[40:20] from me
[40:22] had somebody call them and inform them
[40:24] of how much their house was not worth
[40:26] and
[40:27] uh bought it for about fifty thousand
[40:29] dollars under market value and then
[40:32] tried to list it and wholesale it the
[40:34] next week
[40:35] i would love to try and stop that and
[40:38] remind the realtors that pocket listings
[40:40] are illegal in the state of kansas a
[40:42] pocket listing is anything
[40:44] where you're selling a home
[40:46] without listing it first if you're a
[40:48] licensed agent i'd like to remind people
[40:50] that you can lose your license for that
[40:52] and if anybody is aware of it please
[40:54] turn it in
[40:55] because bonner's doing well and we don't
[40:57] need our citizens ripped off if you are
[40:59] aware of that
[41:00] feel free to give me a call or an email
[41:02] and
[41:03] we have several individuals
[41:05] that are experts in that area that we
[41:07] can turn it into
[41:11] i also wanted to close out and wish my
[41:14] son's mom a happy 26th birthday and
[41:16] that's the end of my diatribe
[41:20] sir
[41:22] yeah sean i noticed on up in deerfield
[41:25] on schwartz
[41:27] there seems to be cable
[41:29] being put in now is that a
[41:31] continuation
[41:33] of the cable that we had
[41:35] that we were told they did weren't going
[41:37] to complete it and
[41:39] now are they completing it where are we
[41:41] on that whole thing what's that about um
[41:45] i have no update
[41:47] on the ug
[41:48] fiber
[41:50] so that
[41:53] that's where that's at
[41:54] the
[41:56] area that you referenced and then i
[41:59] believe it's also going to continue
[42:01] along 134th street is that correct
[42:05] kansas avenue
[42:09] yeah so down kansas avenue 234th it's
[42:12] through deerfield uh generally
[42:16] that is a t so a t is
[42:20] putting in fiber throughout
[42:23] the town
[42:26] i believe
[42:28] they're starting in that particular area
[42:30] um
[42:31] that is residential fiber right correct
[42:33] yeah so it's the atnt
[42:36] fiber right now we have sort of a hybrid
[42:39] uh coaxial something else uh fiber this
[42:43] is actual
[42:44] fiber
[42:45] um
[42:46] so that's what's going on there should be a franchise agreement
[42:51] we've been working with att for a little
[42:53] while now to try to get that updated
[42:55] which is somewhat specific to that fiber
[42:58] build out but
[42:59] um obviously they're not waiting around for that to
[43:03] get finalized so um but that will come
[43:05] forward to the city council here
[43:06] probably in the next month or two
[43:13] uh nothing else uh i'll go ahead with
[43:16] the the mayor's portion
[43:18] um there were a few things i noticed uh
[43:20] you brought up
[43:23] weeds
[43:25] impacting
[43:26] roads in different areas
[43:29] on 132nd street there's quite a
[43:32] overgrowth from
[43:33] big evergreen trees in the middle of the
[43:36] block just south at kansas avenue
[43:39] and i think those are an individual so
[43:41] they may have to be
[43:43] notified
[43:44] riverview west of 134th i've been
[43:47] contacted it's in
[43:49] pretty bad condition it might
[43:52] benefit from some of those potholes
[43:54] being
