agenda?
If not, uh any objection to approve? I'm
sorry. Yes,
>> I would like to remove one item from the warrants list from the consent
agenda.
>> Okay. Which one is that?
Um
agenda item number nine B
>> due to a conflict of interest.
» We're we're moving it.
>> So moving it out of the consent agenda.
She she'd like I think what an
appropriate motion would be at the time
we get to the consent agenda make a
motion to approve the consent agenda
withholding that item and then take a
separate motion for approval of that
item and you'll recuse yourself from
that one. Okay.
>> Okay.
>> So we'll have a separate vote on on 9B
or whatever that that is. Okay.
>> All right. Uh seeing there are no
objection or any objection to approving
the same acclamation. I see none. We're
so approved on the agenda. Thank you.
All right. Next up are announcements,
appointments, proclamations, and
recognitions. We have two things. First
up are some appointments to a couple of
different boards. First up is we have an
a uh an opening on the board of
adjustment and I am making the
recommendation that we appoint Jason Lee
to the board of adjustment.
I get a motion to that effect.
>> Moved. Second.
>> Any objection? All in favor, please
indicate by saying I.
>> I.
>> Any opposed? Motion carries. Thank you.
And thank you, Mr. Lee. Secondly, uh our
newly created visual identity project
committee. We have uh threw out some an
application. Michelle handled that and
we had a lot of folks responding and
Michelle helped us go through all these
and we have come up with uh the
following individuals that we would like
to that I'm going to uh request that you
all approve to the uh appointment of
this committee. David Kramer, who's the
business owner of Carl's Drive-In. Dan
Fitzgerald, a resident of W three.
Marian Moore, resident of W four. Tom
Strait, a resident of W three. Kelly
Wucher,
resident of Ward One. Eileen Grestle,
resident of W three, and Kim Murphy,
resident of W 2. I'd prefer just taking
this all on the block if you're if
you're okay with that. And if so, take a
motion to that effect.
>> Motion to that effect.
>> Okay. A motion to make a to approve
those uh individuals to the new
committee. Any discussion? Yes.
>> Have one one clarification question
maybe for Michelle. If there are others
that come forward, could they also be
added to this or is this a one time
only?
I know we talked about maybe school
board representative or something along
those lines as well.
>> So the committee we've reached kind of
the number we're comfortable with. Um,
and we would probably also look at
adding an elected official to that as
well. Um, but there are other
opportunities for public engagement.
We're going to have some focus groups
and um, different opportunities like
that. So, if there are still people that
you think would be a good fit or people
who are interested, I'm going to
continue advertising for those
opportunities. So, you're welcome to
direct those people to me. I will reach
out and um, kind of keep them in mind
for those other various opportunities as
they become available.
>> Thank you.
Okay. Um,
so all those in favor, please indicate
by saying I. I.
>> Any opposed? Motion carries. Thank you
so much, everybody. Second item is a
proclamation. Uh, that's the parks and
recreation month. Since 1985, America
has celebrated July as Parks and
Recreation Month, a program of the
National Recreation and Parks
Association. The goal is to raise
awareness of the vital impact that parks
and recreation has on communities across
the US. Uh accordingly, I am going to be
issuing this proclamation today, a
designation of July as parks and
recreation month. Whereas parks and
recreation programs are an integral part
of communities throughout this country,
including the city of Brentwood,
Missouri. And whereas our parks and
recreation are vitally important to
establishing and maintaining the quality
of life in our communities, ensuring the
health of all citizens, and contributing
to the economic and environmental
well-being of a community and region.
And whereas parks and recreation
programs build healthy, active
communities that aid in the prevention
of chronic disease, provide therapeutic
recreation services for those who are
intellectually or physically disabled,
and also improve the mental and
emotional health of all citizens. And
whereas parks and recreation programs
increase a community's economic
prosperity through increased property
values, expansion of the local tax base,
increased tourism, the attraction and
retention of businesses and crime
reduction. And whereas parks and
recreation areas are fundamental to the
environmental well-being of our
community. And whereas parks and rec
natural recreation areas improve water
quality, protect groundwater, prevent
flooding, improve the quality of the air
we breathe, provide vegetative buffers
to development, and produce habitat for
wildlife. And whereas the US House of
Representatives has designated July as
parks and recreation month, and whereas
the city of Brentwood, Missouri
recognizes the benefits derived from
parks and recreation resources. Now
therefore, I, Mayor David A. dimmit by
the authority vest in vested in me as
mayor of the city of Brentwood, Missouri
and on behalf of the board of alderman
do hereby recognize the month of July as
parks and recreation month in the city
of Brentwood.
All right,
that will move us on down to item five,
uh, public hearing. We have non citizen
comments. Anybody in the public care to
address the board? Now is the time to do
so. All we ask is that you go to that
little podium right there, state your
name and your address, and you'll be
given up to three minutes. Certainly.
Thank you all for your time this
evening. My name is Jeremy Straner. I
live at 2528 High School Drive. [snorts]
So, uh, I would like to just tell you I
was born in Brentwood. I grew up here as
did one of my parents and their parents.
So, I've been in Brentwood a long time.
Uh, and I love this community. I love my
neighbors and that's why I'm here
tonight. Uh, for my professional life,
I've been an embedded software engineer
for over 25 years. I've been working on
complex interconnected systems just like
the ones that I would like to talk about
this evening. Uh so I recently learned
that Brenwood has a contract with Flock
Security. Um this led me to the question
why why why do we need these cameras? Um
and the answer is probably to deter
crime. But do we need in Brentwood AI
cameras tracking citizens around 24
hours a day? Is that is that really
needed? I don't think crime's that bad
here. Um, while addressing the
Pennsylvania Assembly in 19, excuse me,
1755, Benjamin Franklin famously said,
"Those who would give up essential
liberty to purchase little temporary
safety deserve neither liberty nor
safety." What our founding father was
trying to relay in that was that
short-sighted solutions for complex
issues frequently are a bad idea. Uh,
I'm not here to criticize the police or
our local government. This actually has,
you know, very little to do with that.
Uh, it's about a company that
demonstrabably lies to customers and
changes agreements after the fact. It's
about a company that shares user data
without consent and then tells police
departments they're doing the exact
opposite. This is about a private
company that we're subsidizing to the
$225,000 a year with our tax dollars.
And I say subsidizing because they are
then taking this data that we are paying
them to collect and then selling it to
pretty much anybody that will buy it. uh
this includes private investigators,
uh federal governments, uh pretty much
anybody that's willing to pay for it.
So, this is more than just a camera.
This isn't just a camera that's out
there. This is an enormous platform um
that includes many different services
such as Free Form, which is an AI search
for people by physical description.
Raven, which was originally sold for
gunshot detection, but now listens for
human voices. They have a patent to
classify people by race, gender, height,
weight into a searchable database.
They're now pairing the Bluetooth and
Wi-Fi fingerprints from your phone to
your car, so they know who you're going
around the the entire country with. Um,
they also know if you're riding in the
car with somebody else. Um, they have u
more patents to classify people and make
it searchable database across the whole
country. And since it's a private
company, there's very little oversight.
Uh, and local police departments are
losing control of their cameras. Flock
enabled nationwide setting without
police knowledge in Mountain View,
California. Cambridge, Massachusetts.
Flock installed cameras after the city
council ordered they be deactivated. In
Washington, Border Patrol agents access
10 departments data that they never
agreed to share. LA, one in three hot
list reports were incorrect, leading to
a waste of police time and resources.
Illinois found that Flock was illegally
sharing their data and are now suing
them. San Francisco found that the
federal government illegally access
flock data hundreds of times and that
was just a month ago. Uh security
researchers on the internet have shown
that these cameras can be broken into in
under 30 seconds. Uh I personally don't
understand how these this is in
violating the law. The Supreme Court
found that uh bulk collection of
citizens cell phone data was against the
fourth amendment. Um but now since this
is a private company collecting almost
the exact same data um it's allowed and
the federal government has said that
they are now going to start buying this
data.
>> Mr. Schwer, are you about ready to wrap
it up?
>> I will. Yes.
>> Okay. Thank you.
>> Um so uh we wouldn't approve a water
plant without an environmental
assessment and I don't think we should
approve these surveillance
infrastructure without government
controls and uh citizen input. So, I
realize, you know, we're spending about
$100,000 every four years on these
cameras. Uh, while overall that's not a
huge hit, you know, to the budget,
that's for normal folks, that's a lot of
money, and I think we could spend it in
building our community instead of
surveilling citizens. Thank you.
>> Thank you. Anybody else?
» Anyone online? Okay, great. Thank you so
much, Mr. Stner. Uh, next up, our mayor
and alderman reports. First up is the
mayor. I just have a few things. Um the
um uh every Wednesday this month, Urban
Chestnut has been uh holding a popup
event down at our Brentwood Park. And it
runs from 4 to 8 and we will have a
total of five uh this month. And I would
to classify it as being a resounding
success, I think, be somewhat of an
understatement. Uh we've had three of
them so far, very very well attended.
And we have two more still in this
month. And on the agenda tonight is a
request to go into a August uh
continuing that. So if you have not
been, I would uh encourage you to swing
by this Wednesday or the following
Wednesday. I think this Wednesday
they're going to continue uh last
Wednesday had trivia and they're going
to do trivia again uh this Wednesday.
It's a lot of fun. Great chance to meet
folks and uh just enjoy our our brand
new park. So again, that's this
Wednesday from 4:00 to 8. Secondly, we
will be having coffee with the mayor
next week on Thursday, the last Thursday
of the month, and we are going to be
holding it at the park uh at the
Britwood Park. And uh this will be the
second time that we've held it down
there, but we're going to be actually
having the jazz group uh which is
comprised primarily, if not exclusively,
of our high school students. Uh if any
of you have heard them play, we probably
have by now, but they do a phenomenal
job. So if you're looking for something
to do on the last Thursday of the month
from 9 to 10, come on down to Brentwood
Park and uh free donuts, uh listen to
some great music, and again have a
chance to meet some of your um your
fellow uh residents. Finally, uh this is
the last meeting we'll have before the
election of August the 4th, 2026. Just a
reminder that we do have another
election, so I would encourage everybody
to attend that and uh exercise your
constitutionally protected right. Uh
Alderman Pluffka,
>> thank you. I would um say the same with
regard to voting. Um not only candidates
representing us in Jeff City, but
several constitutional amendments on a
variety of subjects. Please learn about
the candidates and issues and vote on or
before August 4th. Uh, also public
safety will meet on July 22nd, which is
a Wednesday, referred to by the mayor
and um, as chairman of public safety.
Um, I'm going to just say this. I I I
think we're going to meet at the
pavilion in Brentwood Park at 5:30 and
conduct our public safety meeting there.
Um, and unless that changes, we we'll
give everybody notice. If it changes,
we'll give you at least 24 hours notice.
It's normally here in this chamber, but
I'm I'm really inclined to move it to
the pavilion in Brentwood Park. So,
anyway, uh that's my those are my two
announcements.
>> Thank you. Eric is saying, "Wait a
minute, I've got it booked solid for
that."
>> And you know what? I didn't even think
about that. [laughter]
>> Okay. Thank you very much. Alder Ty.
>> Um the uh August Ways and Means meeting
which is uh currently scheduled for the
6th uh bullet indicated we may need to
push it to after the uh public works
committee meeting. So if you're on uh
ways and means we probably won't be
meeting the sixth and likely will be
meeting later in the month. So watch
your email.
>> Thank you. Aldwoman go
>> no report.
>> Alderwoman Sims
>> no report.
>> Alderman Gold. Uh yes. Uh we are
cancelling the communications committee
meeting for that was scheduled for
tomorrow night. Um because we're just
getting everything going. So nothing
really to to address the committee on.
Um and then uh we do have our ward 3
meeting uh let's see the last Tuesday
which is next Tuesday the 28th at 6:30
at the rec center. So please join Steve
and I for that.
>> Thank you. Alderman Lock Wheeler,
>> no report.

meeting on uh Tuesday, July 28th at 6
PM.

business. We have, I think, just two
items under that. First up is bill
number 6613,
which we took up first at the last
meeting. Can we get a second read by
title only, please?
>> Yes. Bill number 6613, an ordinance
approving the OMCI reimbursement program
agreement with Metropolitan St. Louis
Sewer District for the storm water
master plan project.
>> Thank you. Chair would entertain a
motion to approve bill number 6613
ordinance form.

>> yes.
>> Uh, bill number 6613 now becomes
ordinance number 5237.
>> Thank you. Next up is item is bill
number 6614. This is listed under old
business. It is old business because
it's a continuation of the parking lot
issue. It keeps coming up every six
months. Uh, but we are having a first
read. So, could we get a first read by
title only, please?
>> Yes, sir. Bill number 6614, an ordinance
enacting emergency measures to extend
the continued use of temporary parking
lots for Brentwood Park.
>> We would like to have a second read on
this tonight. If we can get a motion to
that effect. So, moved.
>> Second.
>> Uh, any discussion on that? All in favor
of there being a second read, please
indicate by saying I.
>> I.
>> Any opposed? Motion carries. Mr. City
Attorney, can we get a second read by
tile only, please? Bill number 6614, an
ordinance enacting emergency measures to
extend the continued use of temporary
parking lots for Brentwood Park.
>> Thank you. Chair would entertain a
motion to perfect bill number 6614,
ordinance form.
>> So moved.
>> Second.
>> Okay. Any discussion?
>> Yes. Could I just uh have Dan, if you
wouldn't mind just giving an update. I
know there was some work done and just
kind of an update on on the changes and
the impact of those changes, please.
» The uh parking lot on the north side was
the one that we made the changes. So,
north side parking lot, uh, just east of
Mary, the eastern edge of that, we
graded I'd say 10 or 12 feet back, took
the rock out, dug down below the rock
level, put fresh dirt back, seed and
straw the area, um, feathered that slope
so that drains both to the north and
south inlets that are there. And then
the last thing is to put the ground glue
down. We tried that out. It actually
works really well around the shop. So,
we ordered more of that and then parks
will apply that. I know they've redone
the parking stalls, the striping, so
everything seems to be in order. I know
we've gone out there multiple times
during the June rains and even July, the
few rain events that we've had. Haven't
noticed any runoff and everything looks
great.
>> Great. Thank you. Thank you for the
update.
>> Any other questions?
Hey, roll call, please.
>> Alman Puffkco,
>> woman Ty,
>> yes.
>> Aldwoman Gold,
>> yes.
>> Woman Sims,
>> yes.
>> Lock Miller,
>> yes.
>> Alman G,
>> yes.
>> Harter, yes. Alderman Meyer.
>> Yes.
>> Bill number 6614 now becomes ordinance
number 5238.
>> Thank you. That brings us into new
business. First up is resolution number
1597, which is a resolution approving a
naming rights agreement with the
Brentwood School District. Eric, are you
presenting on this?
So, the city received a request from the
Brentwood School District to uh name the
home dugout uh at the Brentwood Sports
Complex Field number one uh in honor of
Coach Mike I uh Igoot. Uh per the naming
section of the city's donation
sponsorships and facility naming policy,
uh all naming of facilities has to be
done with approval by the board of
alderman. That's why a resolution is for
you this evening. Uh a naming for a
facility for a specific individual or
corporation will only be considered if
that individual has made significant
contribution to the city of Brentwood.
Uh could be informed outstanding civic
service, prolonged period of time. Uh
those type of things. Uh names honoring
living individuals must be supported by
extraordinary compelling reasons along
with a thorough background review. So uh
and then one of the other items is
although it might not be appropriate to
name a permanent facility after an
individual uh a associate amenity
associated with the facility could be
named for that person. And so field
number one's already named after coach
Jim Taylor and and so this would kind of
fall into that realm of you know not
naming the full facility but naming the
dugout. So, according to the request we
received, Coach Emergoot dedicated 32
years for um to mentoring players and
fellow coaches at Brownwood High School
and he they believe he's uh deserving
this honor and has probably spent the
most time in that dugout of anyone in
the city of Brentwood. So, that was the
request. Uh it is our responsibility to
bring it to the board for discussion
>> to approve uh resolution
seven. All right, we have a motion. Do
we have a second to approve resolution
1597? Thank you. Any discussion?
>> Yes, Alderman Lock Mueller.
>> Eric, is there any type of signage that
would be posted on that?
>> Yeah, the signage is uh would be posted
and that would be the responsibility of
the school district. That is part of the
agreement that was has been prepared and
approved by uh the city attorney. He
looked it over and and gave a lot of
good edits to for me. But part of it is
uh that they would be responsible for
the the plaque and for in installation
cost of that. We would then be
responsible for maintaining it. But if
the plaque was damaged, they'd have to
replace it.
>> Thank you.
» Yes. Uh okay. All those in favor, please
indicate by saying I. I.
>> Any opposed? Resolution 1597 is
approved. Thank you. Next up is
resolution number 1600,
which is a resolution approving the
architectural services agreement for the
public works and parks maintenance
facility project between H Design Group
and the city of Brentwood. Dan,
uh, this is the RFQ that was brought up
at the, uh, public works committee. So
we had a total of 11 submittals, paired
that down to a group of three, did
interviews with those three, and then
narrowed that group down to each design
group, which is presented to the board
here tonight. Um, if this is approved, I
put together the rough schedule. If we
started with the agreement being
approved uh during this week, then we
could start with design and permitting
as early as August, and that would go
through uh February 2027. And then
project bidding would be in February 27.
Most of the construction would take
place in 27. Um anticipated construction
would wind down around February of 28.
That would be substantial completion.
And then final completion March of 28
assuming that this is approved. Um I did
put the uh compensation table there so
you can kind of see what we would be
expensing in 2026 and then in future
budget cycles. So the three main phases
in 26 with H design is roughly 213,512.
We do have a budget of 250,000, 125 from
public works, 125,000 from parks. So
what we're looking for is a motion to
approve the agreement and move forward
with H design.
>> Can we get a motion to that effect?
>> So moved.
>> Second. Okay.
>> Any discussion?
Okay. All those in favor, please
indicate by saying I.
>> I. I.
>> Any opposed? Motion carries. Resolution
1600 is approved. Thanks.
>> Thanks.
>> That brings us down to uh bill number
6615. Can we get a first read by title
only, please?
>> Yes. Bill number 6615, an ordinance
approving an amended and restated
governmental cooperation agreement for
the provision of technology services
with the city of Clayton, Missouri on
behalf of the city of Brentwood,
Missouri, commence August 1, 2026
effect for a duration of three years.
>> Okay, who's presenting on that? Troy.
Oh, hi Troy.
Good evening, mayor and council. Um, I'm
here to present the intergovernmental
agreement.
As you know, we brought in the city of
Maplewood into the agreement which
lowered all the city's cost. Your
realized savings was 9% off your
contract. We cannot change contract um
cost in um midterm in a contract. So,
this will start a new three-year
contract. you will realize that 9%
savings. Um, all the terms and
conditions in the contract have stayed
the same. There will be no changes
besides the cost and the dates.
» Okay. Thank you. And just by way of
background for those who uh might be
watching in, this is just another
example of Burntwood working with other
cities to uh collaborate and cooperate
in sharing of services. Uh I think this
started maybe in 2017 when the the city
partnered with the city of Clayton and
uh Richmond Heights for Clayton to
provide our IT services which is
all-encompassing includes uh budgeting
and maintenance and uh setting things up
and making sure we don't have any
problems with our phones, our computers.
It's been uh an absolute success and a
model for other municipalities on how to
work together and to lower their costs
and providing the services to their
residents. Uh and as as Troy indicated,
we're uh Maplewood is now joining this
as well. So, uh are we wanting to have a
second? We are wanting to have a second
read on this. So, can we get a motion to
that effect, please?
>> So, moved.
>> Second.
>> Any discussion on the motion for a
second read? All those in favor, please
indicate by saying I.
>> I. I.
>> Any opposed? Motion carries. Mr. City
Attorney, could we get a second read by
title only, please?
>> Bill number 66:15, an ordinance
approving an amended and restated
intergovernmental cooperation agreement
for the provision of technology services
with the city of Clayton, Missouri on
behalf of the city of Brentwood,
Missouri, commencing on August 1, 2026
and continuing in effect for a duration
of three years.
>> Thank you. Chair would entertain a
motion to perfect bill number 6615 into
ordinance form.
>> Second.
>> Thank you. Any discussion?
Roll call, please.
>> Alman Puffka,
>> yes.
>> Awoman Ty,
>> yes.
>> Awoman Go,
>> yes.
>> Autooman Sims,
>> yes.
>> Alman Lockmiller,
>> yes.
>> Alman Gold,
>> yes.
>> Autooman Harter,
>> yes.
>> Alman Meyer,
>> yes.
>> Bill number 6615 now becomes ordinance
number 5239.
>> Thank you. Next up is bill number 6616.
Can we get a first read by title only,
please?
>> Yes. Bill number 6616, an ordinance
granting site development plan approval
for a new 9-unit town home development
at 8815 MG Avenue.
>> Thank you, Whitney.
>> Uh good evening. Um Erin Lashi is here.
uh he's present his request, but this
received approval at the May third um at
the June meeting of planning and zoning
by a 7 to zero vote. Um it does meet
with all of the zoning requirements and
uh
what more can I answer? [laughter]
>> Okay, if you want to just give a brief
>> Oh, it's
>> synopsis of what this is all about.
[laughter]
>> Sorry.
>> I mean, we know but the audience might
not. This is a nine unit town home
development. There will be three units
in three buildings with a little
separation between each of the
buildings. Um the applicant has
indicated that they would be condo
development. So he'll have to come back
through for the condo plat when he's
closer to that time frame. Um but it
meets with the storm water requirements
and all of the zoning requirements. The
building is 50 feet from the adjacent
property where adjacent to residential
and there's a 25 foot landscape buffer
for the uh drive aisle.
Um and
>> where is this?
>> Oh, I'm sorry. 8815 MG.
>> Okay.
>> Just behind uh the little commercial
development on South Brentwood
Boulevard. Okay.
>> Yeah.
>> Wonderful. Um All right. Have any
questions?
Alderman Lock Mueller.
>> Whitney, I I know they're meeting their
parking requirement by having the
parking underneath each townhouse of two
spaces. Uh I know the citizens that
attended several of these meetings. And
I will say the applicants been very
accommodating to uh some of their
concerns, but when it comes to visitor
parking,
um is that I don't see any condition
that was originally discussed on
possibly setting up some spacing along
that drive aisle for maybe some visitor
parking.
>> Um yes, the as was discussed at the
planning and zoning commission, the
drive aisle is 25 ft wide. um any alley
or one-way drive aisle is 11 feet. So
they felt there was sufficient parking
to provide sufficient space that should
a visitor want to park along that drive
aisle that there's sufficient room. Um
the applicant has also indicated that he
would work with the commercial
development in front of them to see
about overnight parking should a
resident require such. Um do you want to
address that? Okay.
Shim Lamichani um 11 Deer Creek Woods.
Um I am one of the applicants. Um so in
terms of parking, the plan is to allow
parallel parking because of the
driveways 25 ft as well as uh we are in
discussion or trying to connect with the
owner um of the commercial property to
see if they will allow any visitors
parking after hours. I think that's the
plan. [snorts] And then the 25 ft drive
aisle, um if there are there are
visitors, it would um it would be enough
for any visitors to park um in in that
uh section. Okay. Whitney, do we need to
make that a condition that they supply
that type of parking?
Um,
>> can we
>> we can we can include that for the
second reading is to include a a
condition that parallel parking be
provided along the drive aisle that it
be striped for that. Um,
>> I'd like to kind of just think that over
and maybe talk to staff and
maybe the applicant and see if that
could be made all permanent
>> fixture there somehow designating those
areas as additional parking.
>> Okay.
>> Thank you,
>> Alderman Pluff.
>> Thank you. How close is it between the
eastern fence and the eastern facade of
the of the answer.
>> Yeah.
>> It's uh 14 ft.
>> Yeah.
>> And and all of the units, the way I'm
looking at the pictures, all the units
are are oriented to the east. I mean,
the front door is
>> correct.
>> They face.
>> So, the western elevation is the back of
the unit.
>> That is correct.
>> Okay. But what we have done um just to
add there the western elevation because
of the input from the planning and
zoning uh you know council members we've
also enhanced the western um west
elevation to match the east elevation so
it kind of blends in the design.
>> Okay. Um and what's the distance between
the the between the three units going
north?
>> 10 feet.
>> Okay. And that's and structures this
tall that didn't run a follow of our our
fire department. They didn't think that
those are too close together.
>> Um [clears throat] no, the requirement
under the new adopted 2024 code is will
be that they have to be sprinkled.
>> Um we had initial disc we had
discussions with the fire department.
They are including a new fire hydrant on
that drive aisle um to because of the
distance to the existing um fire hydrant
to provide additional fire protection
>> for the unit that's farthest to the
north there.
>> Yeah. For all of the units that are
there. Yeah.
>> So the fire hydrant will be along M
somewhere.
>> No, it will be along the drive aisle for
this development. Yeah.
>> Oh, I see. How far up into the
development do you know?
>> About 20 ft. No, it's about I would say
about 35 ft in um
>> and does does
iting around that?
>> Yeah.
>> Any of the interrupt any of the parallel
parking that we just talked about with
Steve?
>> Yeah.
>> So, there's plenty of space on the west
side um to park so we can avoid those
and still be able to accommodate um
parking.
>> Yeah. They we'll have to measure for the
parallel parking to ensure the distance
from a fire hydrant,
>> right?
>> Yeah.
>> Okay. Okay. Thank you.
» So, the floor plan is the same for all
nine of these.
>> Yes.
>> And what's a square footage?
>> Um 1,800 square foot.
>> Thank you.
>> Two car two-car attached garage. Um and
then it also will be EV ready um in each
of the garages.
Alderman
Lock Mueller,
>> I think I heard you say they were
condos. So, uh, there'll be a condo
assoc association form when it's
finished of made up of who?
>> So, when when we build it um and send it
to permitting, it will have to be given
or submitted to the city uh prior to I
believe submitting the or getting the
approval for uh the building permit. So
we will work um h the condo would be um
initially would be managed by a third
party but once it's starts to be
occupied the owner will be part of the
condo members.
>> So they would they would be allowed to
start construction but they do have to
come back for a condo plat approval
which would then include provisions on
maintenance of all of the common ground
areas and things like
>> that was going to be my next question on
maintenance. Okay. Thank you.
Anyone else?
All right. Thank you. We will see you at
the next meeting then for the second
read.
All right. Next up is bill number 6617.
Can we get a first read by title only,
please?
Bill number 6617, an ordinance providing
for the adoption of the third amendment
to the fifth amended and restated police
and firefighters pension plan, providing
for the repeal of all conflicting
ordinances, and providing for the
effective date of this ordinance.
>> Thank you. Just state your name, please,
Mr. Lane.
>> Good evening. I'm Mike Lane. and I'm
with a Thompson Coburn law firm and I
represent the uh board of trustees of
the police and firefighter pension plan
who are recommending some changes to the
plan. And the purpose of these changes
is to save some time and money for the
city and for the pension plan relating
to determination of disability.
Currently, uh the way the pension plan
is structured under the ordinances,
an individual who requests a pension
based on disability
uh must be determined by a medical board
appointed by the trustees of the pension
fund. to be permanently disabled. That
requires a lot of time from both the
pension board and the city staff to
figure out which kind of medical experts
must be appointed and it takes a lot of
time from the city staff to uh organize
the billing situation. As you know, the
uh folks who work in the medical system
in this country are used to billing
insurance rather than billing a pension
plan for the cost of that. And it takes
quite a bit of effort on behalf of both
the pension board and city staff to do
that. Uh what we are asking for in this
ordinance is for the ability for the
trustees of the pension board to be able
to hire a third-party administrator to
do this. There are plenty of companies
out there that determine whether someone
is disabled
on behalf of companies, cities,
organizations
uh without having to individually
appoint certain medical providers each
year. they've got a stable of people to
do it. And so the idea here is that
we would have the ability to hire a
third party contractor to handle that
for us and save a lot of city staff
time, save a lot of money, and save a
lot of stress on the individual
employees who are applying for a
disability pension. Happy to answer any
further questions that you all may have.
>> Yes. Alderman Ty. So, I um I've talked
to Captain Neimire about this, but I
just want to make sure that the police
and the fire departments are comfortable
with this change for uh for their um
staff.
>> Uh from what I understand, it was a
unanimous decision of the pension board
to to recommend this.
>> Okay, great. Thank you.
>> Anybody else?
Uh the request is to go ahead and get
this enacted tonight if or at least have
the board vote on it tonight. So to that
extent, can we get a motion for a second
read?
>> So moved.
>> Second.
>> Any discussion?
All those in favor, please indicate by
saying I.
>> I. Any opposed? Motion carries. Mr. City
Attorney, can we get a second read by
title only, please?

and firefighters pension plan. providing

please?

employee handbook updating the education
benefits policy and tuition
reimbursement request form.
>> Thank you, Tangela.
>> Good afternoon. So this bill is to
update the handbook to include the
procedure for to remove oversight for
approving the education benefits when
employees submit for tuition
reimbursement requests
>> kind of oversight
>> just ensuring that a we're looking at
the policy ensuring that we're looking
at the credit hours that we have written
in the handbook ensuring that the dollar
amount reflects that particular credit
hours and that we're not submitting for
more or less than what the handbook
currently states that the employees are
entitled to.
>> Okay. Do we have any questions?
Yes.
>> How many employees take advantage of
this?
>> It varies year to year. Right now, I
think we have six, but it does vary.
>> Any other questions? And like the prior
bill, we would like to get this going as
soon as possible. Uh, so we would like
to have a vote on this tonight. Can we
get a motion to that effect, please?
