Thank you, Mayor. Quick update on a couple of the uh
electrical needs of the data center. Um today the Kansas Corporation Commission
approved the transfer of the three parts questions approved the transfer of those
part city service territory beverages uh territory. So beyond now on the
application that the developers submitted to Bevered
everything is approved by commission. Uh the other item that we've been
talking about is this franchise agreement part of franchise agreement
never achieved well the 20-year agreement 4% rate. Uh this is a 20% year
but a 20 year agreement 5% rate and it would go into effect as soon as
published if there are questions.
I know
it's just power and that's what the economy is
that's what they so with the case
overall since they have
whatever
that is not technically a power sale. They're paying for 80% of the power but
they're not receiving delivery. So they would be home
and then their sales tax
it will take it'll probably take four or five years uh for us to realize the full
estimated $20 million franchise fees that we would that we're supposed to
realize. um it'll take four or five years for them to get filled out.
» And if the data center doesn't go in, you know, we voted out um
the the franchise fee stands for whatever we have connected. Now
» there's there's uh I got a virtually earlier this week I want to
say there was like 15 other properties almost all
or south or where our house distribution system
does not extend that's all but I guess
if that center is notable something else
Right. We had an agreement on each server.
Once we transfer the service territory that you get out, that's the average. So
regardless of how much power locates those three parcels, it's going to
they're going to collect branches.
uh they could be approaching us for a week.
It's actually beneficial for them to for us to renew it when we don't have an
active franchise because the section of state statute that controls what the
cost is if we want to acquire um service territory on purchase. Um,
absent the franchise agreement, the statutes control dictate that we pay the
existing provider the depreciated cost of any infrastructure over which is how
we bring the state hospital on the city system for less than $10,000. Uh if
there was an active franchise agreement, then we're looking at paying them four
years of revenue that they could be off of that if u
approving.

long it would I didn't know how long expect take in uh the availability of

Hi. Hi.
September of last year was brand at that time we met at
Federal's properties uh under a development agreement uh for
the restoration and rehabilitation both 500 and 510 main uh We successfully
received the agreement and after received it the contractors. The the
development contractor got into 510 and start doing a lot more investigating as
to what it was going to take to make that building structurally sound and
they came to the determination that costwise going to cost way money to
rehab 510 going to just tear it down and build new. Um since that time um and
just came in this morning I visited with the developer uh they did their
crunching of numbers on a new building and that building itself also still be a
losing proposition right now with the amount of land that's available it's
only a 25 so go so I um so what they have done is they they have notified us
that they plan to back away and I That's probably uh
I I I hate to see it happen because I was hopeful that the building would be
salvaged. Uh but the project itself is not viable that there aren't two
buildings there and 510 is really kind of the
the we link in the project that if it wasn't going to require so much money to
store uh then yeah we would not be having this conversation tonight. Well,
they estimated it's going to be particular district.
And even then, there's still an old building that's been retro bitted and um
doesn't exactly have the space that they could could like or would like. Uh so
with that, I put this resolution together. think it's in the best
interest of the cities to move forward with returning the eel grant and then
issuing for the demolition of 10 and it's going to have to be very delicate.
I don't expect that to be cheap to tear that building down, but I would rather
take it down in a controlled way than
that. Yes.
But both buildings would need to come down.
» No
500. So we'll probably talk that next spring,

we'll be looking for somebody else.

I mean I can never be sure but I just need the
state will cause harm
500, which is why we're have to be very careful with who we select. And it might
be one of those demolitions where we're taking a death brick by brick. I know
we're going to go in there and excavator stuff
because that would be my main I think that's the state's concern uh is is
protecting 500 bank because it is a historical gun

» Hi.
and they are lease agreement with an option to purchase um with an agrave.
Um the terms of that agreement were to pay a city lease or rent payments on
that and city would credit them back on the p for the purchase of the land.
what they've done and the success they've had in their business, you know,
is they've been able to pay the land off late, which they did that
somewhere in that neighborhood. Uh, so we've worked through the title process.
Um, the title company did not like the way the agreement is structured. They
said it still requires a tax law to transfer the land. Um and now they take
more towards the pool. Um because it didn't actually it was a structure like
a mortgage where it just became theirs. Um I went council resolution authorized
actually transfer the land from the city to the trust. So that's resolution 139.
just any questions. Happy to
We have
» to approve resolution. He found
I
» Hi.
I mean perfectly what
person
he
That help?
Um the only thing I have is um we did receive our um an initial guaranteed
maximum price on our water treatment plant. Um the cost of construction is uh
it's between 34 and 35. And the reason I'm not saying the exact number is
because we're still working through some of the line items and getting what is
all included in those line items understood. So we make sure we're not
including too much that we don't want or adding in not including things that we
do need. Um in that 34 million there's roughly 2.6 million in contingency. Um
about half of that 2.6 six is in below grade contingency. the uh the Seymar has
a certain amount of rock excavation that they've included in their bid and the
1.3 million in contingency is in the event they run into more rock excavation
than what they estimate and they would have to justify that to not only the
engineer but the city in the form of I don't want to necessarily call it a
change order but the council would have to release authorized release of that
contingency. Um the other uh unknown is the amount of
work that's going to be required at the intake. So that number is also 1.3
million. Um we had a diver go in from gardener. Um and they do these types of
dives regularly. That's their business. Um is to do diving into clear wells and
other water tanks. um those types of situations, intakes, uh to see what the
condition of those intakes are um to try to remove some of the unknown around
that work and work some of that 1.3 million out of out of their contingency
or their allowance. Um the Semar fee itself is about is
between 3 and 4 million and that's going to be contingent on where we sign the
final GMP. So, at the end of the day, it best case scenario, if we are able to
eliminate all of the uh contingencies that are in the bid, our water treatment
plant is currently anticipated to cost 31 million, but we can't really put that
out there because we don't know what type of subsurface risk there is. And
then also the risk uh around the uh intake work. So, um with that, that's
all I have as city manager. Um, do you have anything yet?
» Um, this week we released an invitation for bid for all of the work that needs
to be done. Uh, that's going to be insurance covered from the hail event
back in April. It took quite a while for us to get back all of the estimates uh
from the adjuster uh and also just to know everything widespread that was
damaged. Uh, but now we have that out for uh any contractor who would like to
bid on that. We do have that structured uh to be you can bid by building, you
can bid by trade, you could build a bid a single building. Um basically whatever
someone feels comfortable being able to bid on um and complete the work on, they
are welcome to bid that. They do not have to bid the whole package. There are
20 buildings listed um or 20 pieces of property. Uh I do want to make a note
500 Main is one of those. Um there is roof repair already in that. We'll see
what all that covers and then we can have more conversations about that roof.
But I'm really hoping that we can get that roof solidified in a way that we
don't have to revisit it um after this bid process. Uh the other thing I want
to mention is Brett and I did um have a conversation with BG consultants uh to
ask them to do a feasibility study on using our remaining right ofway at Carr
Avenue as a potential solution for a pedestrian overpass bridge. Um as
council is aware, there are two problems with the overpass. Um pedestrian access,
but then also just the size of the overpass and its ability to serve our
community. um take on larger vehicles and have the correct weight for the type
of vehicles that actually need to use it when Main Street, Pacific, and Brown are
all blocked. Uh so, one thing that they're going to examine is whether or
not building a new overpass structure on that car ride ofway is something um that
would work for the community and be feasible. Uh the reason we're having to
look at that right of way uh is because the railroad has told us in no uncertain
terms are we going to be allowed to put any kind of structure even a pier in any
of their right of way. Um and the right of way that the railroad owns in town
basically runs from uh where buildings start
uh to 7th Street uh through that whole corridor. Um, so the current overpass
does have peers in Railroad Rideway. Uh, if we were to re try and rebuild that,
they would not allow us to maintain those peers or put those peers back. Um,
so a rebuild or a adjustment to the existing overpass is likely not in the
question. Um, and then the other thing that they have given us an option for is
um, potentially if we wanted to build something over the railroad tracks, we'd
have to have it completely outside of their rideway on either side. Um, which
obviously the ride ofway that we own is streets that are currently open. So
that's Main Street, Brown, Pacific, and we don't want to be putting a structure
in the middle of those used streets. So, Carr Avenue is one of the remaining
swaths of rightway that we have that we're hoping there may be something
feasible to do there. Um, so we're going to start working on that and start
chasing some grants and some funding hopefully from there. Um, and just keep
trying to figure out how to solve this problem. Um, and I think that's all I
have. There wasn't something else.
