[3:47] Also I want to point out that you can't
be geological but the state of war that
[3:53] some parts of Kansas do not have enough
ground for irrigation crops livestock
[4:01] decades of high have caused water levels
ste well
[4:08] and I don't understand how anybody still
consider but just sit there talk about

Why are we being asked to sacrifice our

[11:05] really

[12:35] Thank you, Mayor.
Quick update on a couple of the uh
[12:39] electrical needs of the data center. Um
today the Kansas Corporation Commission
[12:45] approved the transfer of the three parts
questions approved the transfer of those
[12:50] part city service territory beverages uh
territory. So beyond now on the
[12:58] application that the developers
submitted to Bevered
[13:05] everything is approved by commission.
Uh the other item that we've been
[13:10] talking about is this franchise
agreement part of franchise agreement
[13:13] never achieved well the 20-year
agreement 4% rate. Uh this is a 20% year
[13:20] but a 20 year agreement 5% rate and it
would go into effect as soon as
[13:26] published
if there are questions.
[13:35] I know
[13:51] it's just power and that's what the
economy is
[13:58] that's what they
so with the case
[14:05] overall since they have
[14:15] whatever
[14:18] that is not technically a power sale.
They're paying for 80% of the power but
[14:24] they're not receiving delivery. So they
would be home
[14:32] and then their sales tax
[14:41] it will take it'll probably take four or
five years uh for us to realize the full
[14:48] estimated $20 million franchise fees
that we would that we're supposed to
[14:52] realize. um it'll take four or five
years for them to get filled out.
[14:59] » And if the data center doesn't go in,
you know, we voted out um
[15:07] the the franchise fee stands for
whatever we have connected. Now
[15:12] » there's there's uh I got a
virtually earlier this week I want to
[15:19] say there was like 15 other properties
almost all
[15:24] or south
or where our house distribution system
[15:29] does not extend that's all
but I guess
[15:35] if that center is notable
something else
[15:42] Right. We had
an agreement on each server.
[15:52] Once we transfer the service territory
that you get out, that's the average. So
[15:57] regardless of how much power locates
those three parcels, it's going to
[16:03] they're going to collect branches.
[16:14] uh they could be approaching us for a
week.
[16:22] It's actually beneficial for them to for
us to renew it when we don't have an
[16:28] active franchise because the section of
state statute that controls what the
[16:33] cost is if we want to acquire
um service territory on purchase. Um,
[16:41] absent the franchise agreement, the
statutes control dictate that we pay the
[16:47] existing provider the depreciated cost
of any infrastructure over which is how
[16:53] we bring the state hospital on the city
system for less than $10,000. Uh if
[16:58] there was an active franchise agreement,
then we're looking at paying them four
[17:03] years of revenue that they could be off
of that if u
[17:34] approving.
[17:43] I
[18:04] » received by asking me to get a request
from the developers and I talking
[18:11] tonight. So, they're here to speak this
council
[18:20] member detailed list of everything that
has been has been accomplished thus far
[18:26] and what some of the delays have been.
Uh I would before I turn it over to me
[18:30] and council ask questions. Um, I was
thinking putting this together back in
[18:35] May to allow the opportunity uh to
salvage that home. Um, I didn't know how
[18:42] long it would I didn't know how long
expect take in uh the availability of
[18:47] engineers and all the stuff requested.
So I put 3 months in there note.
[18:53] So with that I would answer any
questions I have here. Otherwise, we're
[18:57] done. You can
[19:04] stand.
[19:10] » Yeah.
I think it's a three two or three page.
[19:15] Maybe it's a page and a half hour, but
then there's pages of design that
[19:23] one of whoever the engineer was dragged
[19:29] structural sound and then also
The hospital
[20:01] I have sequence.
So many
[20:33] second
[20:42] building
[20:47] pretty
[20:52] back.
[21:23] over here.
[21:33] What's
[21:51] This would extend it out to October
31st. Is that that's going to give you
[21:57] the time that you need?
>> Yeah. I mean, no,
[22:02] there shouldn't be any other
[22:25] What happened?
[23:09] It's your authorization to allow the
project to move forward. So you put
[23:13] whatever time limit on it you want to
put on
[23:19] it is pretty much done.
[23:44] Well, we're recording.
[24:04] Can I
[24:21] cinch their Quick.
[24:42] Hi.
Hi.
[25:01] September of last year
was brand at that time we met at
[25:08] Federal's properties
uh under a development agreement uh for
[25:13] the restoration and rehabilitation both
500 and 510 main uh We successfully
[25:19] received the agreement and after
received it the contractors. The the
[25:23] development contractor got into 510 and
start doing a lot more investigating as
[25:28] to what it was going to take to make
that building structurally sound and
[25:32] they came to the determination that
costwise going to cost way money to
[25:38] rehab 510 going to just tear it down and
build new. Um since that time um and
[25:46] just came in this morning I visited with
the developer uh they did their
[25:51] crunching of numbers on a new building
and that building itself also still be a
[25:56] losing proposition right now with the
amount of land that's available it's
[26:00] only a 25 so go so I um so what they
have done is they they have notified us
[26:09] that they plan to back away and I That's
probably uh
[26:16] I I I hate to see it happen because I
was hopeful that the building would be
[26:21] salvaged. Uh but the project itself is
not viable that there aren't two
[26:26] buildings there and 510 is really kind
of the
[26:32] the we link in the project that if it
wasn't going to require so much money to
[26:38] store uh then yeah we would not be
having this conversation tonight. Well,
[26:42] they estimated it's going to be
particular district.
[26:46] And even then, there's still an old
building that's been retro bitted and um
[26:52] doesn't exactly have the space that they
could could like or would like. Uh so
[26:58] with that, I put this resolution
together. think it's in the best
[27:01] interest of the cities to move forward
with returning the eel grant and then
[27:08] issuing for the demolition of 10 and
it's going to have to be very delicate.
[27:12] I don't expect that to be cheap to tear
that building down, but I would rather
[27:18] take it down in a controlled way than
[27:22] that.
Yes.
[27:31] But both buildings would need to come
down.
[27:34] » No
[27:37] 500.
So we'll probably talk that next spring,
[27:41] but but 510. So
[27:48] we'll be looking for somebody else.
[27:59] states
[28:02] different
[28:16] I mean
I can never be sure but I just need the
[28:22] state
will cause harm
[28:25] 500, which is why we're have to be very
careful with who we select. And it might
[28:30] be one of those demolitions where we're
taking a death brick by brick. I know
[28:35] we're going to go in there and excavator
stuff
[28:39] because that would be my main I think
that's the state's concern uh is is
[28:45] protecting 500 bank because it is a
historical gun
[28:56] we have got
I can't remember but I've
[29:04] 5 years ago was a little more
viable.
[29:11] 5 years ago was 5 years ago, you know,
got a partially building backside.
[29:19] Um, it's just it's exposed to the
elements.
[29:41] service
[29:54] resolution 1388 provide 510 demolition
510
[30:00] building.
>> Second
[30:03] by second
[30:12] part.
[30:25] Hi.
>> Hi.
[30:30] » Hi.
[30:34] » Hi.
[30:45] and they are lease agreement with an
option to purchase um with an agrave.
[30:53] Um the terms of that agreement were to
pay a city lease or rent payments on
[30:59] that and city would credit them back on
the p for the purchase of the land.
[31:04] what they've done and the success
they've had in their business, you know,
[31:09] is they've been able to pay the land off
late, which they did that
[31:16] somewhere in that neighborhood. Uh, so
we've worked through the title process.
[31:19] Um, the title company did not like the
way the agreement is structured. They
[31:24] said it still requires a tax law to
transfer the land. Um and now they take
[31:30] more towards the pool. Um because it
didn't actually it was a structure like
[31:35] a mortgage where it just became theirs.
Um I went council resolution authorized
[31:40] actually transfer the land from the city
to the trust. So that's resolution 139.
[31:48] just any questions. Happy to
[31:52] We have
[32:11] » to approve resolution.
He found
[32:24] I
[32:32] » Hi.
[32:52] I mean
perfectly what
[32:57] person
[33:03] he
[33:06] That help?
[34:00] Um the only thing I have is um we did
receive our um an initial guaranteed
[34:09] maximum price on our water treatment
plant. Um the cost of construction is uh
[34:14] it's between 34 and 35. And the reason
I'm not saying the exact number is
[34:18] because we're still working through some
of the line items and getting what is
[34:23] all included in those line items
understood. So we make sure we're not
[34:27] including too much that we don't want or
adding in not including things that we
[34:31] do need. Um in that 34 million there's
roughly 2.6 million in contingency. Um
[34:39] about half of that 2.6 six is in below
grade contingency. the uh the Seymar has
[34:44] a certain amount of rock excavation that
they've included in their bid and the
[34:51] 1.3 million in contingency is in the
event they run into more rock excavation
[34:56] than what they estimate and they would
have to justify that to not only the
[35:00] engineer but the city in the form of I
don't want to necessarily call it a
[35:04] change order but the council would have
to release authorized release of that
[35:09] contingency.
Um the other uh unknown is the amount of
[35:14] work that's going to be required at the
intake. So that number is also 1.3
[35:19] million. Um we had a diver go in from
gardener. Um and they do these types of
[35:24] dives regularly. That's their business.
Um is to do diving into clear wells and
[35:30] other water tanks. um those types of
situations, intakes, uh to see what the
[35:36] condition of those intakes are um to try
to remove some of the unknown around
[35:41] that work and work some of that 1.3
million out of out of their contingency
[35:46] or their allowance.
Um the Semar fee itself is about is
[35:51] between 3 and 4 million and that's going
to be contingent on where we sign the
[35:55] final GMP. So, at the end of the day, it
best case scenario, if we are able to
[36:01] eliminate all of the uh contingencies
that are in the bid, our water treatment
[36:06] plant is currently anticipated to cost
31 million, but we can't really put that
[36:12] out there because we don't know what
type of subsurface risk there is. And
[36:17] then also the risk uh around the uh
intake work. So, um with that, that's
[36:23] all I have as city manager. Um, do you
have anything yet?
[36:27] » Um, this week we released an invitation
for bid for all of the work that needs
[36:32] to be done. Uh, that's going to be
insurance covered from the hail event
[36:36] back in April. It took quite a while for
us to get back all of the estimates uh
[36:41] from the adjuster uh and also just to
know everything widespread that was
[36:47] damaged. Uh, but now we have that out
for uh any contractor who would like to
[36:52] bid on that. We do have that structured
uh to be you can bid by building, you
[36:57] can bid by trade, you could build a bid
a single building. Um basically whatever
[37:02] someone feels comfortable being able to
bid on um and complete the work on, they
[37:08] are welcome to bid that. They do not
have to bid the whole package. There are
[37:11] 20 buildings listed um or 20 pieces of
property. Uh I do want to make a note
[37:16] 500 Main is one of those. Um there is
roof repair already in that. We'll see
[37:20] what all that covers and then we can
have more conversations about that roof.
[37:24] But I'm really hoping that we can get
that roof solidified in a way that we
[37:28] don't have to revisit it um after this
bid process. Uh the other thing I want
[37:34] to mention is Brett and I did um have a
conversation with BG consultants uh to
[37:40] ask them to do a feasibility study on
using our remaining right ofway at Carr
[37:46] Avenue as a potential solution for a
pedestrian overpass bridge. Um as
[37:52] council is aware, there are two problems
with the overpass. Um pedestrian access,
[37:57] but then also just the size of the
overpass and its ability to serve our
[38:01] community. um take on larger vehicles
and have the correct weight for the type
[38:06] of vehicles that actually need to use it
when Main Street, Pacific, and Brown are
[38:10] all blocked. Uh so, one thing that
they're going to examine is whether or
[38:13] not building a new overpass structure on
that car ride ofway is something um that
[38:19] would work for the community and be
feasible. Uh the reason we're having to
[38:23] look at that right of way uh is because
the railroad has told us in no uncertain
[38:28] terms are we going to be allowed to put
any kind of structure even a pier in any
[38:34] of their right of way. Um and the right
of way that the railroad owns in town
[38:38] basically runs
from uh where buildings start
[38:44] uh to 7th Street uh through that whole
corridor. Um, so the current overpass
[38:50] does have peers in Railroad Rideway. Uh,
if we were to re try and rebuild that,
[38:54] they would not allow us to maintain
those peers or put those peers back. Um,
[38:58] so a rebuild or a adjustment to the
existing overpass is likely not in the
[39:03] question. Um, and then the other thing
that they have given us an option for is
[39:10] um, potentially if we wanted to build
something over the railroad tracks, we'd
[39:16] have to have it completely outside of
their rideway on either side. Um, which
[39:21] obviously the ride ofway that we own is
streets that are currently open. So
[39:25] that's Main Street, Brown, Pacific, and
we don't want to be putting a structure
[39:29] in the middle of those used streets. So,
Carr Avenue is one of the remaining
[39:34] swaths of rightway that we have that
we're hoping there may be something
[39:38] feasible to do there. Um, so we're going
to start working on that and start
[39:42] chasing some grants and some funding
hopefully from there. Um, and just keep
[39:47] trying to figure out how to solve this
problem. Um, and I think that's all I
[39:51] have. There wasn't something else.
