[6:57] in our union always develops space

[6:59] there and is and we just had

[7:01] the international come and look at it

[7:02] in representatives and behavioral

[7:03] health specialists from across

[7:06] the nation are very jealous of what we

[7:08] what we are building here. The current

[7:10] snapshot this year we've had

[7:13] approximately thirty eight men twelve

[7:15] claims broccoli for members of his

[7:18] with our program which is a program

[7:20] within the metropolitan area that it's

[7:22] treats ptsd for first responders and

[7:25] military professionals are military

[7:30] members and many members of dots in

[7:35] many members are not even salt

[7:36] behavior health treatment. We have an

[7:37] integrated support for behavioral

[7:39] Health Plan of forty two careers is

[7:41] the plan is our plan we will be

[7:42] utilizing the peer support training

[7:43] program of the International

[7:45] Association of Fire fighters whether

[7:47] they are rolling out new components

[7:50] want the newest component that will be

[7:52] rolled out this fall beyond resiliency

[7:54] they also would do training for

[7:56] behavioral health specialists. We also

[7:59] are working on contract with New

[8:01] directions to supply the two meet

[8:04] the demands of the side letter for

[8:06] the ap program. We also partner with

[8:11] or retirees Association and also our

[8:16] Auxiliary to do recognition of

[8:17] behavior health issues so we can

[8:18] tackle these from the beginning we met

[8:23] with nurses are support groups from

[8:24] from the Auxiliary that we have in

[8:26] that they were. It was incredible

[8:28] stories that we heard that what people

[8:32] are taking home to their spouses and

[8:35] loved for its scope and goals of our

[8:36] program include program management

[8:40] that will be done by our art director

[8:42] a mandatory referral program that will

[8:45] be utilized by the fire department

[8:46] appealed for people that they

[8:48] recognize having issues will be able

[8:53] to try to do in house training for for

[8:55] a market cadets as they come on how to

[8:57] treat added to recognize issues

[9:00] firsthand in our command staff. We

[9:02] also be able to banish preferred

[9:05] providers. Recognizing that many of

[9:08] the programs that we have will be a

[9:11] wee plate were planning on doing a bar

[9:13] ops program to put preferred providers

[9:18] through what we do on a daily basis to

[9:20] ride along program with fire fighters

[9:24] we have a social media pages outlook

[9:26] and will be able to do treatment

[9:32] solutions through through social media

[9:33] in recognition will be providing

[9:34] referral liaison from from the bridge

[9:36] from the ap to the health care systems

[9:42] and workers' compensation programs

[9:43] will to be doing community that's an

[9:45] output on identifying what ptsd is how

[9:48] it affects their firefighters first

[9:50] responders will be older spawn

[9:52] immediately to crisis calls with

[9:54] twenty four hour hotline we've all soo

[9:56] creed were partnered with a website

[9:57] called Far strong that allows people

[10:00] to see who they are peer support

[10:03] counselors are they have the logo on

[10:05] their identify who they are no gnome

[10:08] so it is truly a pure program or peer

[10:12] program is very diverse from age

[10:19] gender and an ensure that our programs

[10:20] at First program so we can reach every

[10:23] peer group of the fire department we

[10:26] also will be able to have community

[10:29] training in c use for our peer

[10:32] counselors the ap services. I won't

[10:34] bore you with the va for health

[10:36] employee assistance program what will

[10:38] be able to supply this is what is in

[10:40] the side were the next two slides or

[10:41] what is directly inside winners will

[10:43] hits a couple of the highlights in

[10:46] that regard what it does say what we

[10:48] currently have is five isn't

[10:50] the current iep program we're doing is

[10:53] we're going we'll leave that we're

[10:54] going to meet with the works that

[10:56] would be able to meet but probably

[10:59] exceed that program we believe we can

[11:01] contract within the funding that can

[11:02] be provided the city of seven visits

[11:06] and also have a smooth transition into

[11:07] the Blue Cross and Blue Shield Program

[11:09] which we don't have as much now

[11:12] Currently we have five is is that

[11:14] really does appear to time for a

[11:16] member to get settled in with

[11:17] the counts were in they have to change

[11:19] because that many of the council

[11:22] programs aren't in the in the Blue

[11:24] Cross Blue Shield program so we were

[11:26] identifying counselors make sure that

[11:27] they're in the Blue Cross Blue Shield

[11:29] program so there's a smooth transition

[11:32] to the b and treatment of care can

[11:34] continue on to that counselor in. We

[11:41] hope to also expand it to our retirees

[11:42] data collection and debt in regard to

[11:43] data collection Local forty two shall

[11:44] smite data core data quarterly to

[11:46] the can see far apart and wellness

[11:47] quarter coordinator for internal

[11:49] review the provider should collect

[11:51] data and format needed for submission

[11:55] die if I have see in the fee annual

[11:57] surveys all data loss data shall be

[11:58] provided in format that complies with

[12:00] the input parameters for the national

[12:02] survey instruments. This is so we can

[12:04] really trick track the trends and what

[12:06] is happening in behavioral health and

[12:09] how we can address those issues in

[12:10] the future and better butter supply

[12:14] care to our members. Dash also include

[12:16] activity reports Negeri data from all

[12:18] clinical and health screenings in to

[12:20] prove they will have cost just Geisha

[12:22] will be able utilize that data

[12:23] collection attract workers comp claims

[12:24] tied to behavioral health pension

[12:27] claims tied to behave or holes in all

[12:29] our peer support contacts that we have

[12:31] throughout the years. Additionally

[12:35] will pursue additional funding via

[12:36] available grants. There's grant money

[12:37] this not been tapped out there who

[12:40] will reduce the cost the city and

[12:42] the obligation the city in the coming

[12:44] year. Conclusion without high

[12:46] resilient fire fighters who directly

[12:48] addressing behavioral health concerns

[12:50] performance decreases and will result

[12:52] in more employees off from work on

[12:56] modified duty burn out leaving

[12:58] the career or be in tension off time

[13:00] and time again we have had fire

[13:02] fighters from afar for his career that

[13:04] many many of us have dreamed about

[13:07] being since we are young children and

[13:08] what a firefighter comes in my office

[13:12] assists they can't do the job. It's

[13:13] it's it's heartbreaking. We want to

[13:15] stop this we will make sure that our

[13:18] workforce your workforce it is

[13:20] the best that that is out there to

[13:21] perform for citizens the citizens that

[13:24] we believe that we see on their worst

[13:26] day they need the best care that we

[13:28] can in the best workforce that we can

[13:30] we hope this program helps in that

[13:34] regard. The combination of prevention

[13:36] and education are me you options com

[13:39] combat this through our forty two Care

[13:40] behavioral Health Systems program so

[13:42] we thank you for your consideration of

[13:45] this program into funding is something

[13:50] is epidemic within the fire service in

[13:51] this pre revolutionary and we will be

[13:53] the in the forefront of taking care of

[13:56] this problem so you have any question

[13:57] for half the answer. All right thank

[14:00] you very much I'll just note for

[14:02] the committee amount that is listed in

[14:03] the ordinance. We passed within our

[14:06] budget a couple of months ago so that

[14:09] it's not an issue for us. Moll also

[14:12] note that the trip last year the time

[14:13] the city manager took God along with

[14:15] Mr. Dube into Phoenix was very eye

[14:17] opening and I was especially impressed

[14:19] with the peer program that they have

[14:21] been able to successfully do there so

[14:23] I have a lot of high hopes myself for

[14:25] this program what I'll do here in

[14:27] Kansas City but other any questions or

[15:59] exhibited affected a boring morning

[16:00] Dan Trent Cole's with finance

[16:02] department next to me is my colleague

[16:05] Bruce Campbell of General Services

[16:07] the matter in front of you relates to

[16:11] a parking garage that is located under

[16:15] the mist lot of Tory him it was

[16:17] constructed I think sixty years ago

[16:19] and has served the needs of its

[16:21] auditorium and also the city's

[16:23] convention center for years if not

[16:25] decades probably fourteen or fifteen

[16:27] years ago there were some major

[16:28] renovations the garage and there been

[16:31] some repairs ongoing repairs sense

[16:34] that as of late due to the use of

[16:36] the garage there's been concern about

[16:39] can the condition and the continued

[16:43] useful life of the facility. This

[16:44] ordinance estimates an appropriate

[16:47] bond proceeds in advance of

[16:49] the issuance in order to raise funds

[16:55] to finance a a consulting contract to

[16:59] allow the city to determine the future

[17:02] of any of the auditorium garage and

[17:07] any alternative parking solutions that

[17:09] there May be available to the city to

[17:13] continu blogging

[17:17] Tory and also the city's convention

[17:18] center. This very shortly contract is

[17:21] about one point three million dollars

[17:24] in total that will be financed through

[17:28] a bond issue next year in March of

[17:30] twenty twenty on a taxable basis. We

[17:32] assume a four point five percent

[17:36] interest rate and one advertise least

[17:38] the portion of the bonds for this

[17:41] particular project over ten years that

[17:44] the financing is assuming that that

[17:45] that interest rate is estimated about

[17:48] one hundred seventy thousand dollars a

[17:50] year in annual debt service. So what

[17:53] but I like to do to turn it over to

[17:56] Peru so we can talk to but more about

[17:58] the contract pretty good food and Mr.

[18:01] Chair Committee members. Good morning

[18:03] just a little bit of background on

[18:08] what Dan just said some of you May

[18:10] recall the City Council passed a

[18:14] resolution several months ago for a

[18:19] sixty three million dollar commitment

[18:23] to find Rach the replacement of

[18:25] the garage and Barney Allis Plaza

[18:29] subsequent to that city staff endeavor

[18:34] to put together a due diligence report

[18:38] that we reported to City Council work

[18:42] session a few months ago and

[18:43] the effort the goal of that due

[18:47] diligence study was to analyze

[18:51] the current condition of the garage

[18:55] analyze or look at potential uses for

[18:58] space on top of the garage in

[19:02] the reconstruction of the garage and

[19:06] as I eluded to in the fact sheet that

[19:09] you have there's discussion about

[19:12] building potentially garage spaces in

[19:16] an adjacent location or and a portion

[19:19] of the space is back on site. In

[19:22] addition to the space on top of

[19:24] the Gracia sell this that due

[19:26] diligence study goddess to the point

[19:28] where we went to a procurement process

[19:33] to select on the contractor that is

[19:35] here today and out. If you have any

[19:38] questions for the for the contractor

[19:43] we plan to work with they're here to

[19:47] say few words as the second for

[19:49] the presentation. Okay so actually

[19:51] Bruce can you go into a little bit

[19:54] more detail both in terms of what

[19:56] scope of services will be associated

[19:59] with this contract as well as

[20:05] the procurement process as far as

[20:06] respondents you all that kind of thing

[20:09] Yes Mr. Chair that the scope of

[20:13] services we we have where we plan to

[20:18] bomb we put together a scope in phases

[20:20] calm part of the first phase of

[20:22] the contract will take a deeper dive

[20:25] into the alternative analysis

[20:29] the alternative analysis being what is

[20:32] the best fit for where parking spaces

[20:35] are located and how many were going to

[20:38] put either back on site or add an

[20:42] alternative site within a two block

[20:45] range of up to twenty plays. So that's

[20:48] the first phase of the study

[20:50] the second is the second phase of

[20:53] the study and billiard and you have to

[20:55] correct me if I get the sequence wrong

[20:59] but the second part of this is how

[21:01] once we determine where the best place

[21:04] for the spaces are and the design

[21:07] potential design for the space on top

[21:11] that then space at that point will go

[21:14] into they'll go into standards

[21:18] developing standards for whoever

[21:24] eventually wins a pure cocoa became a

[21:26] process to actually contract for

[21:29] the services that we need to build

[21:33] the garage after that phase

[21:34] the consultant will walk us through

[21:37] the entire process of the design build

[21:41] for the garage and be the city's

[21:42] representative through that entire

[21:50] process and then as far as the process

[21:52] of her and what are we looking at as

[21:57] far as how many responded to the rfp

[21:59] and than I'm curious to know what

[22:04] the n b e w b e response or in the wb

[22:07] requirements if any there are this

[22:15] contract we have four respondents knew

[22:19] too that we have four wheeler before I

[22:20] get four respondents interviewed for

[22:26] and in b e w v e goals. I do not have

[22:26] spicy Mystery elders come into

[22:28] the mike morning Mr. Chairman for

[22:30] example director says he relation

[22:32] parchment in terms of the project and

[22:34] the vendor in question we receive a

[22:35] contract violation plan from them

[22:44] utilization Plan are of eight point

[22:46] five percent in b e and I think twenty

[22:49] six point something for on the wb size

[22:52] so they are and in the firms that they

[22:53] have recommend all currently certified

[22:57] with silk in cinemas are okay thank

[23:00] you very much. Ok Mr. Crandall I know

[23:02] that you are itching to speak to so it

[23:04] is anything you'd care to add four

[23:09] open up questions from the committee

[23:10] can mourn my name's Bill Crouse ec

[23:12] rules to group and just it just in a

[23:14] safe way to clarify with Bruce and

[23:16] Sheila were saying is that it's really

[23:17] a three phase process phase one is

[23:19] this discovery phase to figure out how

[23:22] many new spaces and where they'll be

[23:25] and then that's phase one a in Phase

[23:26] one b will be to refine those

[23:29] solutions and then to develop some

[23:31] criteria and then shortlist design

[23:33] build contractor so that's those are

[23:35] the products of the first phase one

[23:37] which is the full one point three five

[23:40] million dollars understood or knew if

[23:43] we choose to do so the design build

[23:44] competition some debate is whether we

[23:47] do design build competition or go

[23:48] right to contract with the shore with

[23:49] the first short was to design build

[23:51] firm but if we go to a competition

[23:53] that would be a three or four month

[23:56] process and then that would result in

[23:58] selecting a design builder in phase

[24:00] three would be the actual design

[24:02] construction sector and the wb

[24:04] participation of the rp required

[24:08] fifteen and ten respectively. This

[24:09] phase one a of this phase one with a

[24:13] great half and eighteen or twenty two

[24:15] twenty six so our intent is to be

[24:16] fifteen and ten exceed that over

[24:20] the entire scope of the full three

[24:24] faces project so this totally just

[24:25] under so happy to answer it. Sure Amo

[24:27] the question might have for you is

[24:30] when do we intend to see the products

[24:33] of this initial phase to the point

[24:35] which you will have gone through

[24:39] the analysis the standards the short

[24:42] listing right now subject to

[24:43] additional input from the city I would

[24:45] anticipate probably March first of

[24:47] March fifteenth of next year having

[24:51] completed phase one as both Phase One

[24:54] and Phase one b. That's a very good

[24:55] thank you Allah been up to questions

[24:59] from committee of the heavenly account

[25:03] smarts to get some trying to get a

[25:04] better understanding what the first

[25:09] phase actually is is this not design

[25:15] as it has no sir the first phase is is

[25:21] a mom a continuation of an alternative

[25:28] analysis that is designed to determine

[25:30] the best places for the parking spaces

[25:38] to be located so no heartbeat and

[25:39] the reason you know there's been a

[25:41] considerable my effort towards that

[25:42] goal of determining that the best

[25:47] place for the space is simply because

[25:50] in due diligence study we found out

[25:55] that the further you dig into Barney

[25:57] Allis Plaza further down you go

[26:00] the more levels you go down the costs

[26:03] goals as you go down in the grass so

[26:07] on that theory is that if we determine

[26:10] some locations that are adjacent that

[26:13] still serve the convention center. Mom

[26:17] mom and that we can build a bomb going

[26:18] off instead of going down is going to

[26:22] be much cheaper for the city and

[26:24] the first phase is designed to

[26:31] determine what exactly that looks like

[26:39] So in that in terms of the scopes of

[26:41] the im him in wb ease. I'm always

[26:47] hesitant to vote yes on something

[26:48] that's on it that we have a cup it's

[26:50] presented in and we don't have half of

[26:54] the recommended him be so kind of

[26:58] explain that to me. Well it's it's

[26:59] fairly simple though the two primary

[27:00] and the service provider writers that

[27:02] we have are Jason Parsons Parsons

[27:04] Associates is due to communication and

[27:05] outreach throughout the process which

[27:09] is for suggests is an extension of

[27:11] the due diligence process the other

[27:14] vendor is accompanied by Manatee aside

[27:15] as just technical and special

[27:17] inspections material testing concrete

[27:19] steel. We're not going to be in that

[27:22] phase until they surgery and I'm

[27:23] certain will meet will exceed

[27:27] the fifteen percent that point we're

[27:30] just we don't have the service

[27:32] providers that we have another

[27:32] minority business owned companies

[27:34] don't have a role in these first two

[27:36] phases but they will in the third

[27:39] phase but other companies that could

[27:43] have a rule I'm not currently our team

[27:45] I mean there could very well was

[27:47] there could very well be. We do have

[27:52] our full complement of wb in a night

[27:54] it's a good question I suppose if we

[27:57] could approach it that way knowing we

[27:58] didn't really know we're going to be

[27:59] broken down into these three faces as

[28:03] we as was the seminar or contract. I

[28:06] think as the project is involved

[28:08] working with staff we've concluded

[28:10] that is probably best to buy for Kate

[28:14] these the whole project or try for

[28:15] Kate actually the project so that we

[28:20] can get it on the schedule get things

[28:21] going but I think the And if it's

[28:22] the cities will to continue on with

[28:24] the whole project in fact demolish or

[28:26] rebuild our house plans I'm confident

[28:30] will meet those goals. Here's my issue

[28:32] now just to stir out there. Oftentimes

[28:35] we hear the same jargon you know when

[28:39] the next phase we're going to make it

[28:44] up and then we get to the end of

[28:45] the project. You know we are not met

[28:46] the mb goals and be goals and so now

[28:50] we'll ask for a waiver of some kind so

[28:52] I can support going into the whole

[29:00] notion of a project with utilizing

[29:05] half the centre half what the uh but

[29:09] the but the girls could be so I think

[29:12] you count some bars might ask a Mr.

[29:15] Fielder just to see if I'm tracking

[29:20] what I'm hearing correctly. So Philip

[29:21] two counts when Barnes point I

[29:25] understand his point very well but I

[29:29] guess I'm want to understand your

[29:32] recommendations and and maybe

[29:36] understand if you work

[29:37] the recommendations in the utilization

[29:39] report that's coming forward if

[29:41] difficulty comes from the same basis

[29:43] so I am what I've heard Mr. Crandall

[29:47] say is we've we've split this into

[29:50] three pieces and this first piece has

[29:52] this amount and as you go on these

[29:55] pieces all kind of come together to

[29:58] form something closer. I guess to what

[30:00] has been suggested so I guess my

[30:05] question to you is did

[30:12] the recommendation from hr de com um

[30:13] you know from the standpoint of not

[30:16] splitting this up but but this being

[30:17] the whole project is trying to

[30:18] understand kind of what everybody

[30:21] starting from so I can better

[30:24] understand or comment to what counts

[30:27] when Barnes brought up that makes

[30:29] sense sure will cast member when

[30:33] the goals were established. We looked

[30:34] at the entire scopes involved in

[30:38] the project we were not privy to

[30:44] the fac and face so engineering

[30:46] service pr Service Design Service were

[30:50] a few for the entire school for

[30:52] the duration of the project as Bruce's

[30:54] as indicated they're going to break it

[30:57] up and faces while the vendor also has

[31:05] the ability to determine what stage in

[31:06] to be you. Discretion will utilize if

[31:09] they so choose to you lies on

[31:10] the front of the project going face

[31:12] want this fine if it's in the Mill

[31:14] Wharf it sprayed out as they have

[31:15] indicated they planned to do that's

[31:17] fine too they give us what we call a

[31:20] schedule of utilization and

[31:22] the schedule utilization tells us At

[31:25] what point we should expect minority

[31:28] women all participation to occur so

[31:31] kept a cow some point there's nothing

[31:33] prohibiting them from utilizing

[31:35] minority firms on the phrase wanted to

[31:37] begin another project we do encourage

[31:40] stat for the simple fact is what he

[31:41] indicated if they run into problems

[31:43] later on that the goals were

[31:45] regulation was met in addition to that

[31:49] if it's a project where we have

[31:51] availability. It would be something

[31:53] that we would have us suggested that

[31:55] they reach out but they're not bound

[31:57] that they still have the option to

[31:58] bring in utilization throughout

[32:01] the project we see this and all of our

[32:02] projects construction as well as

[32:06] professional services. So we're not

[32:08] opposed to them bring it in

[32:10] utilization of course the millet or

[32:12] stand upright the goal would still be

[32:14] applicable to the entire project so

[32:18] it's feasible to get as much

[32:20] participation as possible to avoid any

[32:22] problems later on it though should

[32:25] occur. Jer and I guess using which you

[32:28] just said on the wb side you've got a

[32:29] heist starting this phase of twenty

[32:31] six percent presumably potentially

[32:33] over the course of the entire project

[32:36] that percentage can come down as more

[32:40] and more work product is done and

[32:44] perform and you have a larger right. I

[32:46] think two consulting firms on the wb

[32:48] side I believe one's call Mason

[32:51] consultant May see consultant and a

[32:52] winsome efforts in both for those

[32:58] individuals are Reese to do well. Well

[33:00] then so well they know she's kind like

[33:01] an architect Architecture pharmacy she

[33:04] does a lot of design work in that area

[33:06] but you do have a lot of the scopes

[33:08] that or applicable in this case

[33:11] engineer servers those types of

[33:13] opportunities are still out there so

[33:15] we can also Reese received requests

[33:18] for modification. If this project move

[33:20] forward they do add of the engineering

[33:22] firms to the project for on the design

[33:24] service as city engineer structure

[33:26] engineer if that is applicable in some

[33:28] of this year like I see it when we

[33:30] established a goal it was looking at

[33:33] the project throughout the entire

[33:35] duration not in face understood thank

[33:38] you very much this is the point of

[33:41] conversation would it be more

[33:44] acceptable. Councilman If you solve

[33:47] more of the schedule that included

[33:48] the three phases so you can see how

[33:54] things were plugged in Afghanistan

[33:55] very good items travel you want to

[33:57] speak to that that thought I was going

[33:58] to actually offer that we'd be happy

[34:05] to prepare that I would also say that

[34:06] the participation of wb doesn't really

[34:07] do celery and that's fine I just as an

[34:09] exam so I would hope that we would be

[34:13] no north of twenty on wb in North

[34:17] fifteen were the goals or fifth

[34:19] fifteen ten shirt just an illustration

[34:20] the point so I push everybody happy to

[34:22] prepare that announcement that two

[34:25] staff. Okay very good to get other

[34:29] points of conversation or comments or

[34:33] quest

[34:38] testimony for ordinance one nine zero

[34:40] for four three. Seeing none of them is

[34:41] to be awry. I see you there. I think I

[34:44] know what you're gonna say this I say

[34:47] good morning Mayor Pro Tem finance and

[34:48] governance committee members Doug

[34:51] Wheeler with the finance department I

[34:52] would remind the committee that as Mr.

[34:55] Dan coats noted Mrs. In an

[34:56] appropriation in advance of bond

[35:01] proceeds. So it does create a hole in

[35:02] the budget if the ordinance is passed

[35:05] and Bon Bon proceeds are not the bond

[35:08] issue's not sold in bond proceeds do

[35:10] not come in at some future point in

[35:11] time. The monies that have come from

[35:13] somewhere else understood to

[35:14] anticipate selling bonds next spring

[35:16] under certain der least two people

[35:18] here at this table who I'm sure we'll

[35:23] make sure that that happens to you

[35:26] guys I appreciate that confidence

[35:28] counts movements but I think Mr.

[35:29] Whelan and it's always important to

[35:32] make that reminders to thank you for

[35:35] that um okay so if there's no further

[35:38] testimony than the will bring it back

[35:41] to committee. I might suggest just as

[35:44] we're asking for that information that

[35:46] perhaps I don't know if there was a

[35:47] desire for an advance but I think

[35:49] because we are looking for some

[35:50] further information I might suggest

[35:53] that we that we not just that there's

[35:55] time to get that information so with

[35:57] that I'll leave it to the committee to

[35:59] decide. Mr. Chairman I move that

[36:22] ordinance Number one nine zero

[36:24] appreciate it. I'm sorry I missed I

[36:26] was I was just in the zone so I'm

[36:28] sorry three eyes in one very well

[36:31] thank you and I apologize for that

[36:36] oversight. All right um then the next

[36:37] actually seeing the timing of got a

[36:40] couple people who need to leave at a

[36:45] certain timeframe so Mr. Clerk will

[36:55] you go to item one nine zero for four

[36:57] and held in committee. Maybe

[36:59] substitute for his one eye zero four a

[37:01] for authorizing the Director of

[37:03] the neighborhoods and Housing Services

[37:05] department to execute both an

[37:06] amendment to the lease agreement with

[37:07] the party boats Incorporated for

[37:08] the purposes of operating a grocery

[37:12] store and then was shopping center and

[37:14] intimate to the lease agreement with

[37:15] shopping center initiative of the sea

[37:17] for the retail parcels at them they

[37:19] were shopping so I owe for

[37:20] the purposes of restructuring certain

[37:22] payments otherwise and director of

[37:23] Neighborhood Housing Services

[37:25] Department execute an amendment to

[37:29] the property management and

[37:30] maintenance agreement for the men were

[37:32] shopping center just a beginner with

[37:35] Lynwood Shopping Center Initiative llc

[37:36] and appropriating funds in the amount

[37:37] of three hundred and five thousand

[37:39] dollars for designated purposes

[37:43] related to the operation of the midway

[37:48] Shoppin Wood director of Neighborhood

[37:51] Services thank you for bring this up

[37:53] earlier. The purpose of this shop of

[37:57] this Owens is to recognize that

[37:58] the first company in the first of all

[38:02] we have just three staffers one year

[38:03] and a one year anniversary Lynwood

[38:04] Shopping Center and as you know

[38:08] the city made a tremendous investment

[38:09] in the Lynwood Shopping Center and is

[38:13] part of that investment we've been

[38:14] working on a long term bases with two

[38:16] entities one of those entities as

[38:20] the parsh markets in the other is

[38:21] the Lynwood Shopping Center Initiative

[38:25] which is basically here but Don Don

[38:27] Max will of the community as a spotter

[38:31] relationship we were attempting with

[38:32] the shop soon to address a food desert

[38:34] problem we also were attempting to

[38:40] address alone time this investment

[38:41] community were the number of people

[38:44] who migrated from the center city and

[38:46] loss lot of households in that area as

[38:51] a result of that created a tremendous

[38:52] economic gap and lead workshops in

[38:54] the area so the purpose of this

[38:55] ordinance basically is a hapless table

[38:58] as for the Lynwood Shopping Center

[38:59] Because as we discovered in

[39:01] the twenty anniversary there been some

[39:04] issues in terms of security in some

[39:06] other things and times are eaten and

[39:07] economies of scale to where

[39:12] the shopping center with the typically

[39:13] the Lynnwood some Fresh Market which

[39:17] is our largest tenant has undergone

[39:18] some some issues in town are just

[39:18] trying to meet its financial

[39:21] obligations to the city has also

[39:26] created an impact with the Lynwood

[39:27] Shopping Center Initiative The Maxwell

[39:28] Group who has a long term relationship

[39:32] with the city in terms of being a

[39:35] master lease lease or less less or a

[39:38] guess that job is to bring in all

[39:40] the tenants into the shopping center

[39:41] and make sure the retail shops are

[39:47] maintain loan term and to also had a

[39:48] proper management relationship with us

[39:50] which probably will in some time soon

[39:52] is the c I d has created has

[39:54] identified a new property manager but

[39:56] this has always been anticipated for

[40:00] this shopping soon. So in so what we

[40:03] discovered or to pace years that

[40:06] the Sun Fresh has as a city has

[40:09] undergone some some initial problems

[40:13] in time just because of financial

[40:13] obligations for the city so

[40:15] the purpose of this is to establish a

[40:16] land of credit with the sun fresh bank

[40:19] to shore that up the line of credit to

[40:22] ensure the long term operation and

[40:24] then the other part of this ordinance

[40:27] is to move at some financial relief to

[40:29] the Lynwood Shopping Center Initiative

[40:30] The Maxwell Group because they

[40:34] basically have had the burden of all

[40:36] the while the property management

[40:39] expenses over the past year and a half

[40:41] and basically had no relief and doing

[40:45] it so the purpose of this is to cover

[40:47] debt relief and put that in some some

[40:49] some assistance in that direction. All

[40:52] right thank you any questions or

[40:58] comments for Mr. Wood. No I do notes

[41:01] Representatives from the entities

[41:03] that use custom is to water here. I

[41:05] don't know if they have anything that

[41:09] they would care to add or or they May

[41:11] not want to sell past the sale as

[41:16] the old retailer would say um if not

[41:18] then I will ask if there's any I'm

[41:30] sorry in bonds this year and

[41:34] the examples as well. Well okay so in

[41:36] an operating a text message on

[41:37] Maxwell's you his son is here but he

[41:39] can talk about that but generally some

[41:42] of those expenses involved security

[41:45] and that's been our biggest expense

[41:48] ongoing maintenance of course of

[41:53] the parking lot of common area

[41:54] utilities. There's obviously

[41:55] management fees and those type things

[42:01] accounting that goes into that looks

[42:03] at parking lots. Those kinds of

[42:05] landscaping except for those those

[42:10] type of expenses missed Max will say

[42:14] anything more boring. I don't tax one

[42:14] half in which ups the initiative. I

[42:16] don't have too much to add essentially

[42:19] gap occurred our property management

[42:21] service agreement simply expired in

[42:23] June of last year but we continue to

[42:25] maintain the shopping center paying

[42:29] all the expenses related to security

[42:32] landscaping exterior lighting ground

[42:34] grounds keeping. Keep in the shops and

[42:36] clean and so forth without any

[42:41] additional reimbursement so by

[42:43] essentially having forty seven percent

[42:45] of the totally space we've been paying

[42:46] hundred percent of the operating cost

[42:49] so that essentially an attempt to

[42:52] reimburse us for for four for fifty

[42:53] three percent of those operating costs

[42:55] that we've we've incurred over

[42:57] the past year and then give also

[42:58] the grocery store an opportunity to

[43:02] catch up in those in those maintenance

[43:07] payment payments to so that we can

[43:11] stabilize ongoing match that figure

[43:19] counts McManus. As we mentioned

[43:21] the eyes were on the grass the finance

[43:24] department to handle that when he's on

[43:27] the morning morning Mr. Chairman is

[43:28] pretty regular sinus apartment

[43:29] the latter credit that's being

[43:31] discussed really isn't one of credit

[43:33] with the city what we're talking about

[43:36] here is the city in this case would

[43:38] make a time deposit in the bank that

[43:40] provides a line of credit to

[43:42] the grocer we would secure that line

[43:44] of credit with our deposit our deposit

[43:47] effective we would be at risk it to be

[43:49] used. Our expectation is that would be

[43:51] used in order to offset some of these

[43:52] extraordinary costs that were are not

[43:56] being covered so that this word of how

[43:59] it would work. Typically we don't make

[44:01] deposits that aren't secured notes

[44:03] it's kind of an unusual situation for

[44:05] the city we have precedent for doing

[44:07] this and passed out with some other

[44:09] projects to clean a project eighteenth

[44:11] vine couple other projects we've done

[44:17] this inordinary effort to support a

[44:18] major investment city in this case for

[44:22] the grocery store so that's that sort

[44:26] of the background for the right way

[44:28] basically you know one accredited

[44:29] we're not a party line of credit but

[44:31] we would provide the collateral for

[44:34] the line of credit and with the city

[44:35] deposit effectively in deposit would

[44:37] be at risk in to the extent that

[44:38] the line was drawn on our deposit

[44:44] would be used and for that purpose. I

[44:46] think it counts McManus any other

[44:48] questions if not then are there any is

[44:52] there any testimony for ordinance one

[44:55] nine zero for the war are seeking a

[44:58] substitute for the summer ones are for

[45:00] it for seeing none is there a

[45:01] committee recommendation as Mr.

[45:02] Chairman I move the committee

[45:03] substitute ordinance Number one nine

[45:05] zero four eight four b Report of

[45:08] Committee with the recommendation of

[45:10] the density pass it has been in second

[45:23] saying I I I oppose motion passes will

[45:26] hear this tomorrow. Thank you very

[45:28] much and I will will note that this is

[45:31] an illustration of why it's not

[45:33] exactly easy to do economic

[45:35] development on the side with anyone

[45:36] who thinks it's simple I think this

[45:39] illustrates that it's not our right

[46:24] Chairman And committee members mag in

[46:25] Craig Art Director of Creative

[46:28] Services and to my right in a sting

[46:29] leap the neighborhood tourist

[46:33] Development Fund Committee chair Tom

[46:35] were here before you to brief you on

[46:36] the selection process for the most

[46:39] recent application cycle second

[46:43] quarter and to present the committee's

[47:06] funding recommendations which support

[47:07] which will support projects starting

[47:08] August first until the end of

[47:09] the fiscal year April thirtieth. Out

[47:09] we received fifteen fifty one

[47:10] applications all were deemed eligible

[47:11] to move forward to the committee where

[47:12] they then met with the applicants and

[47:13] did deliberation we did see a twenty

[47:13] five percent increase in applications

[47:14] in the second quarter and there were

[47:15] so out of that process there were

[47:17] thirty six organizations recommended

[47:20] for funding for a total amount of

[47:22] eight hundred and thirty six one

[47:24] hundred thirteen hundred thirty six

[47:25] thousand one hundred dollars

[47:28] The cutoff score was determined to be

[47:31] eighty five the list of organizations

[47:34] recommended for funding are or

[47:36] provided to you by memo yesterday's

[47:39] email and then is again before you

[47:41] today. Part of the last presentation

[47:46] was for the annual cycle and we

[47:48] offered to bring forward to you

[47:51] Presentation of the status of

[47:54] the financial status of neighborhoods

[47:56] Development Fund. So if you will

[47:58] permit me I'm gonna just run through a

[48:07] couple of slides I can figure it out

[48:25] and this is just a reminder of that

[48:34] with that network you know that there

[48:36] are there yet and there we can roll

[48:38] the wheel thank you for my learning

[48:41] curve on technology and just a

[48:43] reminder to those who are watching

[48:44] the purpose of the neighbor tourist

[48:46] Development Fund is to promote Kansas

[48:47] City neighborhoods through a variety

[48:51] of activities cultural social ethnic

[48:53] historic educational and it's an

[48:55] indication that the city isn't

[48:56] investing in activities that are

[48:58] mission driven to provide quality

[49:02] experience to its audience audiences

[49:05] and also to reinforce that Missouri is

[49:07] unique in that it recognizes

[49:09] the diversity of disciplines and types

[49:11] of activities that might appeal to

[49:14] visitors and tourists. We recognize

[49:16] the diversity of events that create a

[49:18] well rounded city in the way of

[49:21] options for what we do when you live

[49:23] or visiting Kansas City just taking a

[49:25] look over last year there've been some

[49:28] great successes to report

[49:29] the investment in these activities

[49:31] that activate neighborhoods and rock

[49:34] tourism has had an impact using

[49:36] the calculator of the Arts Economic

[49:38] prosperity study were able to measure

[49:41] and estimate of almost seventy million

[49:44] dollars in economic impact based on

[49:47] organization and audience spending and

[49:50] then over eight hundred full time

[49:53] employment jobs were also able to

[49:54] track through the final reports that

[49:56] it's attracted about one point five

[49:59] million people both residents and

[50:01] tourists to these activities. This is

[50:05] a quick snap shot a five year history

[50:10] Looking at the comparison of

[50:12] available I'd opted or appropriated

[50:15] dollars available for these nonprofit

[50:17] organizations that's the bottom line

[50:20] and then the top line represents

[50:22] the applicant requests to Mount si can

[50:24] see there's always a higher demand

[50:28] than there is available funding. So

[50:29] this is and continues to be

[50:32] competitive process but we do find a

[50:35] steady increase in that in that

[50:37] request amount and that's of course

[50:40] given to the increase in number of

[50:42] applications. So how I want to thank

[50:44] the finance department because we were

[50:46] able to meet yesterday so these are

[50:50] very much real time numbers a little

[50:52] bit of apples to oranges that I want

[50:55] to point out that this is looking at

[50:57] last year's adopted budget at one

[50:59] point seven and then the actual

[51:01] revenue that was collected to

[51:03] the projection was slightly higher

[51:05] than what was protected leaving about

[51:08] a sixty seven thousand dollars

[51:10] shortfall. I've listed here what

[51:12] the approved expenditures were based

[51:16] on each cycle the annual in second

[51:18] third and fourth place an additional

[51:20] appropriation. So as of last year

[51:22] there was a twenty eight thousand

[51:24] dollar deficit and I'm happy to report

[51:26] though that in the current fiscal year

[51:29] Given the adopted budget and then

[51:32] what was transferred both the annual

[51:34] and then if approved the second

[51:37] quarter application the cycle eight

[51:38] hundred and thirty six thousand one

[51:40] hundred dollars and then factoring in

[51:42] that twenty eight thousand dollar

[51:46] deficit puts us in a surplus of three

[51:47] thousand dollars Now obviously

[51:49] the committee and we are very

[51:52] interested in size by offering that

[51:53] and seeing at least a ten percent to

[51:57] help to account for any lost

[51:59] collection based on projections. So we

[52:01] do hope to see that increase and it

[52:03] was the committee that voted to

[52:05] suspend third and fourth quarters of

[52:09] this fiscal year to help us get to

[52:12] that mark so if you have anything to

[52:16] add tuna to that. Ok so I'm also real

[52:19] quick snapshot. Given this is kind of

[52:20] a closing of a term I want to

[52:22] recognize the work of the entity of

[52:24] committee of the past couple of years

[52:26] they've worked tremendously hard and

[52:29] looking at ways to improve and make

[52:31] more transparent dependable and

[52:32] equitable the process. This is just

[52:34] some outcomes from the committee

[52:37] retreat over the last four years in

[52:40] fact they met recently in April in

[52:43] twenty nineteen to go over at

[52:45] additional improvements that they will

[52:46] then pass on recommendations to

[52:49] the future incoming committee. So just

[52:53] a few highlights on that as creating

[52:54] or consolidating the two step

[52:57] application process we now have

[52:59] application and guidelines and

[53:02] detailed instructions on line

[53:03] application system implementing

[53:07] the evaluation and scoring Matrix and

[53:09] then just very recently with the help

[53:14] of the procurement office getting on

[53:16] to talk you signed and digital

[53:18] signatures which the applicants are

[53:19] the contractors are extremely pleased

[53:23] about that though if you have anything

[53:25] to add about the retreats and ok and

[53:26] we're done here up. Well actually two

[53:27] more slides one thing their office has

[53:30] been able to provide over the past

[53:32] couple of years and no one to

[53:34] recognize can swallow cruises Arts

[53:36] Marketing Coordinator in working with

[53:38] each of our over two hundred

[53:41] contractors to find other ways to help

[53:42] and leverage the marketing and

[53:47] promotion of their events getting onto

[53:49] the screen streetcar kiosk using with

[53:51] their help their images in their

[53:53] language. I'm thinking about

[53:54] the different city channels that we

[53:57] can utilize to help then also promote

[54:01] like we said our webpage at Channel

[54:02] two interviews to highlight some of

[54:05] our organizations and the City Hall

[54:08] lobby directory and then last slide

[54:09] for those who are listening and want

[54:12] to know more or are interested we have

[54:13] kicked off our summer application

[54:16] applicant workshops we had our first

[54:18] one on Monday at the Shoal Creek

[54:21] Regional Police Academy the next one

[54:23] is Tuesday July sixteenth and that

[54:26] will be at the East Patrol station we

[54:29] have a total of five. The deadline for

[54:32] the next application cycle will be

[54:33] October fifteen. That's only three

[54:35] months away so that's a great time for

[54:37] planning and encourage everyone to

[54:39] come tech staff if they have some

[54:42] ideas so that concludes my

[54:46] presentation. Okay I think that

[54:48] schools like we got our eye very well

[54:59] Questions or comments from committee

[55:06] members has that ever happened if

[55:09] the This was the first time on my

[55:11] watch but apparently it as it was

[55:12] quite frequent. Prior to twenty

[55:14] sixteen it so I couldn't really speak

[55:16] to the frequency of one point of

[55:18] clarification or suspending them not

[55:20] canceling if an unforeseen reason we

[55:25] do come across additional funds we did

[55:30] want to make that clear that it's not

[55:31] canceled or suspended fourth quarter

[55:42] was kind of for lack of funds because

[55:44] of his death was for lack of funds

[55:45] correct question that happened before

[56:01] how often does that happen to know Mr.

[56:04] Landis or are just using it. Scott

[56:07] using a commencement budget will have

[56:08] to get back to you. Barnes on

[56:10] the frequency with which it occurred

[56:13] that has occurred in the past of what

[56:14] essentially happens to the budget

[56:17] process we we estimate toll

[56:20] collections of the hotel motel taxes

[56:23] which of which this fund is a function

[56:25] do the if it's essentially ten percent

[56:27] of those proceeds the collections came

[56:29] in sight is slightly below the fy

[56:31] nineteen estimate that's the reason

[56:33] this year that the commies had to go

[56:35] back and re just as allocation based

[56:39] on actual collections for the year

[56:40] that just ended in nineteen that has

[56:42] happened before in the most recent

[56:44] years up until really fiscal year

[56:46] nineteen hotel motel had been

[56:48] experiencing quite a boom in growth

[56:51] really so I'm growing sick seven

[56:53] percent a year which was almost

[56:54] unheard of so enjoyed a relatively

[56:58] good time from about this two years

[57:01] fourteen through eighteen essentially

[57:04] aot of projects even above

[57:04] the adopt a budget during that time so

[57:09] we're essentially catching up now and

[57:11] as his greatness lies in the case

[57:12] We've got back to the point where

[57:14] the fun this has met the collections

[57:17] for really the last five years. Again

[57:18] I don't know how many times it

[57:21] happened prior to fiscal year fourteen

[57:23] We can try and research for you but

[57:25] it has happened before in the budget

[57:27] is an estimate usually get pretty

[57:30] close but sometimes you know we're

[57:32] plus or minus a few sky. If you would

[57:36] mind maybe just for a procedural

[57:38] standpoint just kind of go into how we

[57:40] set that number on the budget when you

[57:42] say when that when the tax comes in

[57:45] and can you get a little more granular

[57:47] as to when that tax comes in when we

[57:50] start seeing those numbers how we see

[57:53] those numbers sure so we set feet all

[57:56] the collections for the hotel motel

[57:59] taxes and let stand three budget

[58:01] process city through the revenue

[58:03] division collects hotel motel taxes

[58:05] monthly there is about two month delay

[58:06] in that process from the time

[58:08] the hotels report and collect the time

[58:11] we get in the city but we do collect

[58:14] those monthly and center at the end of

[58:16] each cycle each fiscal year our office

[58:18] goes back and works with the accounts

[58:21] the vision to adjust to axles so

[58:23] generally in June of each year we'll

[58:24] go back to see how much was actually

[58:26] collected during the year. Adjust

[58:29] accordingly. And that's that's one of

[58:31] the reasons that were here before you

[58:40] today forget thinking is that one of

[58:42] the question is the host of the open

[58:46] spaces and are not meeting coming

[58:49] anywhere near meeting our projected

[58:55] revenues on that that that have an

[58:58] effect on the is the cure for it to

[58:59] the supplemental appropriation at

[59:00] the end of the last fiscal year is

[59:08] three hundred fifty thousand I faint

[59:09] three seventy five though that they

[59:10] came from the general fund so that

[59:14] that that that increased some of

[59:15] the supplemental appropriation to not

[59:18] come from India proceeds the at

[59:20] the initial two fifty was in fiscal

[59:22] year sixteen seventeen I believe and

[59:25] that was that did come out of

[59:26] the entity of appropriation as

[59:27] recommended by the committee and

[59:30] approved by City Council in the second

[59:33] iteration was not did not come out of

[59:37] the into df funding line as adopted by

[59:39] the council so it was fy sixteen

[59:42] seventeen at the recommendation of

[59:45] counsel when at the recommendation of

[59:46] the committee when the two can do

[59:47] right but that did not come out of

[59:50] the appropriated the adopted into

[59:54] the f line funding line right at

[59:55] the numbers I'm showing here are

[59:58] the line item that was designated for

[1:00:10] into df for the committee to oversee

[1:00:14] its second trout its sixteen seventeen

[1:00:15] of seventeen eighteen. Those dollars

[1:00:19] were taken out of them. And yes that's

[1:00:20] great was it that went to the council

[1:00:24] process rights right budget process

[1:00:27] does not impact its not impacting this

[1:00:37] last year's deficit or the current

[1:00:39] year. Ok any other questions or

[1:00:42] comments from committee is there any

[1:00:44] testimony for ordinance one nine zero

[1:00:50] five to six and the mass Miss Trigger

[1:00:52] does this need to be advanced not sure

[1:00:54] how soon you've got some of these

[1:00:56] events company has thank you for

[1:00:58] reminding me we do need and I would

[1:01:00] request in advance we have five

[1:01:02] organizations with events in August

[1:01:07] contracting carried as critical very

[1:01:09] well thank you is either a committee

[1:01:10] recommendation. Yes Mr. Chairman I

[1:01:19] pass it has been moved and seconded

[1:01:20] the tortoise won nine zero five to six

[1:01:22] passed on a committee with

[1:01:23] the recommendation of advancing to

[1:01:25] pass is there any discussion on that

[1:01:27] motion saying not all in favor signify

[1:01:31] by saying aye aye opposed to this

[1:01:35] tomorrow. Thank you both very much Mr.

[1:01:37] Kirk next item please release of stew

[1:01:39] for this one I zero five three to

[1:01:44] appropriating five million hundred

[1:01:44] nine thousand two hundred and ninety

[1:01:46] dollars and sixty six cent from

[1:01:48] the operator from arterial street

[1:01:50] impact fee funds to various

[1:01:58] contingency accounts and designating

[1:01:59] exposition Authority the morning

[1:02:01] morning because ask you the awesome

[1:02:04] Management Budget have with me

[1:02:07] Westerners images of this ordinance

[1:02:09] you have before you is to follow in a

[1:02:11] long process of analyzing actual

[1:02:12] street impact fee in the collection of

[1:02:14] those fees. This ordinance is meant to

[1:02:17] appropriate those fees to their

[1:02:19] designated district for its revenue

[1:02:20] was collected previously the revenue

[1:02:22] to fund balance of funds spent for

[1:02:24] the end of the year this would correct

[1:02:26] that and starting a process of trading

[1:02:28] up those fees to the district they

[1:02:32] belong. For better and quicker

[1:02:35] tracking mine to add to to that that

[1:02:36] there've been some projects so that I

[1:02:41] think of the subject of the committee

[1:02:41] substitute the l a Mr. Minter going to

[1:02:44] before in a moment where the use of

[1:02:46] the impact fees would be very hopeful

[1:02:48] course of the impact fee history goes

[1:02:52] back I believe to the early nineties I

[1:02:54] see a couple of my friends out there

[1:02:58] who probably remember when the impact

[1:03:00] fee process was started to help

[1:03:02] facilitate further development in

[1:03:04] the areas of those impact fees were

[1:03:07] collected as understand from staff

[1:03:08] the impact the committees haven't met

[1:03:13] for I think three years so it's kind

[1:03:15] of height time to get these fees

[1:03:19] analyze adopted in moving in that

[1:03:19] direction and I think that's part

[1:03:20] the reason why you have the committee

[1:03:23] substitute which I will I will say to

[1:03:26] the committee are the reason why you

[1:03:27] have this committee substitute is I've

[1:03:30] got some projects in the north and

[1:03:32] the need to get finished and we these

[1:03:34] are proper uses for some of these fees

[1:03:36] but Allah Mr. Minter go into some

[1:03:40] detail on those projects so Mr. Minter

[1:03:41] a good morning Karen Wagner members

[1:03:43] committee was major city manager's

[1:03:46] office. As noted Committee sub we

[1:03:48] would be allocating funds from

[1:03:50] the impact fee District d which

[1:03:51] the Birmingham district to the North

[1:03:53] Brighton Project in Pleasant Valley

[1:03:55] Road project we open up bids for

[1:03:57] construction on North Brighton from

[1:03:59] fifty St Pleasant Valley Road which

[1:04:02] will finish that southern half of that

[1:04:03] court approved the intersection of

[1:04:06] Pleasant Valley Road and the bids were

[1:04:08] opened and they were little bit higher

[1:04:10] than the anticipated budget so these

[1:04:12] funds allocated to that project will

[1:04:15] provide funding for that project that

[1:04:18] will help us allow the Works award a

[1:04:19] contract you're in the next month to

[1:04:21] begin work on that its twelve million

[1:04:23] dollars project with Clarkson

[1:04:25] Construction. It also includes twenty

[1:04:27] four inch water main extension which

[1:04:31] will better serve the water tear up in

[1:04:33] the area up there and also we are

[1:04:35] allocating funding to close Valley

[1:04:40] Road which is just east of the north

[1:04:42] side project we have a structurally

[1:04:43] it's not structurally deficient yet

[1:04:44] but it will be structurally deficient

[1:04:47] the next five years and so the funding

[1:04:49] for that project will oust is

[1:04:50] beginning to finalize the engineering

[1:04:53] plans so that we can be prepared to

[1:04:54] seek federal funds or other additional

[1:04:57] funds to improve that core door and

[1:04:59] that will finish kind of a missing

[1:05:00] link in the Pleasant Valley Road cord

[1:05:03] or between Gladstone and the Police

[1:05:05] Academy in Pleasant Valley. So eleven

[1:05:07] improve city street with sidewalks

[1:05:09] iPad trail which will provide safer

[1:05:11] and better access to Pauls Valley Park

[1:05:13] in for people that are trying to get

[1:05:15] through the area while also know for

[1:05:17] the benefit of the committee is we

[1:05:18] talk about the North Brighton Project

[1:05:20] the primary funding source for that

[1:05:22] has been the Shoal Creek Tiff and so

[1:05:25] this will help us deal with the rest

[1:05:29] of those issues associated with that

[1:05:31] without violence or anything for

[1:05:32] the gentleman that I will open it up

[1:05:37] to the Committee for any questions or

[1:05:47] comments. Councilman Barnes

[1:05:50] historically impact fees in general

[1:05:51] the gym. Generally speaking

[1:05:53] the purpose of the impact fees has

[1:05:57] been to help two more additional

[1:05:58] infrastructure development in

[1:05:59] the areas with the developments

[1:06:03] occurred so with the idea that if

[1:06:07] there's a Development's development in

[1:06:10] general and the idea is that you don't

[1:06:12] necessarily punish the first developer

[1:06:15] in the area or the last developer in

[1:06:18] the area as development occurs you're

[1:06:23] collecting those impact fees so for

[1:06:25] example when when planning and zoning

[1:06:27] when when you have been kind enough to

[1:06:30] allow us to build more housing in

[1:06:32] the Northland as an example of those

[1:06:34] how those houses are being built or

[1:06:37] impact fees are paid on each of those

[1:06:38] lots know those locks get accumulated

[1:06:40] for the purpose of helping to build

[1:06:44] out the infrastructure as that builds

[1:06:47] out and so beyond that I'll let Mr.

[1:06:50] Colby or let Mr. Using speak to kind

[1:06:55] of how that's been treated but you

[1:06:56] terribly but that's been kind of

[1:06:59] the reason why those exist except that

[1:07:00] what the fees have been the same fun

[1:07:04] since I believe two thousand and three

[1:07:05] and that that process the collection

[1:07:07] of the fees has not changed was

[1:07:09] happened over the years as this is

[1:07:12] essentially those fees for each of

[1:07:14] the district about that right arm of

[1:07:16] essentially gone off budget so this

[1:07:18] for our purposes the cleanup ordinance

[1:07:20] that brings the balances for each of

[1:07:23] those districts back on budget so that

[1:07:25] they are there. Each district is

[1:07:26] tracked in the financial system of

[1:07:28] the city that staff and council have

[1:07:31] access to those balances effectively

[1:07:33] in real time rather than just pooled

[1:07:36] in the it's just re

[1:07:38] establishing the balances for each

[1:07:40] district. There are elections are

[1:07:42] the same place have always been a

[1:07:43] Councilman Lawrence him back in each

[1:07:46] each distinct district they're put in

[1:07:47] or add their own separate revenue

[1:07:49] funding than what we've done in

[1:07:50] the past is each time we've done a

[1:07:52] district we done a separate ordinance

[1:07:54] allocated from the revenue side that

[1:07:55] are collected in into the actual

[1:07:58] capital project count that staff can

[1:08:04] use to charge construction or design

[1:08:06] to any other questions accounts

[1:08:14] McManus message to the track changes

[1:08:20] it's simply moving the bombing of

[1:08:21] the projects mentioned the funds that

[1:08:23] are as mentioned those are staying

[1:08:26] intact. So if you look on the sheet

[1:08:28] there I think impact the District g is

[1:08:30] the South District which is south of

[1:08:34] here Bannister Road or eighty seven St

[1:08:35] That would be the available funds for

[1:08:36] that district to use to allocate

[1:08:39] towards projects and then like

[1:08:44] District f which is the East impact

[1:08:46] the district covers basically from

[1:08:48] Blue River Road out to Lee's Summit

[1:08:50] Road in that would be the available

[1:08:51] funding that would be available for

[1:08:56] tours arterial street impacts in those

[1:09:01] geographic areas the representatives

[1:09:04] or people who are in the process. Yes

[1:09:07] we have changeover an impact

[1:09:08] the administrator about for five years

[1:09:10] ago and so with the economy being

[1:09:13] the way it was we weren't generating

[1:09:14] enough ease but now that we've had

[1:09:16] the growth that we've had the fund

[1:09:18] balances get a substantial level to

[1:09:19] where we actually can start doing

[1:09:21] things so one of the things we do need

[1:09:24] to do with the new mayor and council

[1:09:26] coming in is we need to get with each

[1:09:28] council member in Reese tablets

[1:09:34] the appointees to those districts are

[1:09:36] the things that I think. For all

[1:09:38] intensive purposes and from speaking

[1:09:40] out of turn tell me really

[1:09:43] the occupants of each of those

[1:09:45] the impact fee districts have really

[1:09:47] been staff for the most part is that

[1:09:50] correct. Yeah the ordinance. I can't

[1:09:52] find it specifically that your dance

[1:09:53] essentially reads that they'll be a

[1:09:56] city council appointee pie eight

[1:09:58] member a member of the respective

[1:09:59] chamber commerce or economic

[1:10:02] development council for the area

[1:10:04] residential developer a commercial

[1:10:08] developer and then somebody from parks

[1:10:10] works of City Planning and

[1:10:12] Development and twenty from the city

[1:10:15] manager in each district so it's it is

[1:10:17] weighted with staff but there is some

[1:10:19] private participation in those

[1:10:24] discussions Miss Jones I know you have

[1:10:26] come forward morning as Chairman Or

[1:10:27] Vice Governor's Committee Doug Jones

[1:10:28] the auditor's office just to let

[1:10:29] the Camino we did an audit on

[1:10:30] the arterial street impact fees a

[1:10:32] couple of years ago we made some

[1:10:36] recommendations because we identified

[1:10:37] the way is currently operating was

[1:10:39] unsustainable and the contractors were

[1:10:41] able to use the bill to lose credits

[1:10:45] more so than paying into the accounts

[1:10:46] and know that they are planning is

[1:10:51] looking at how we want to go with

[1:10:52] the arterial street fees going forward

[1:10:53] so there's some work going on looking

[1:10:55] at the city since these have not been

[1:10:57] really looked at since between ninety

[1:11:01] eight and two thousand and one son

[1:11:01] just wanted to let you know and I will

[1:11:03] send you links to the audit report for

[1:14:10] discrimination ordinance. Absolutely

[1:14:11] thank you Mr. Kirk next item please

[1:14:12] zero five for one resolution

[1:14:13] expressing the council's support for

[1:14:15] Operation Green Light of the Mid

[1:14:18] America Regional Council to develop a

[1:14:19] process that evaluates the current

[1:14:22] system and new technology available

[1:14:24] for traffic signal synchronization on

[1:14:28] Missouri State Highway one fifty two

[1:14:30] from Shoal Creek Parkway to the limits

[1:14:32] of Kansas City adjacent to the City of

[1:14:36] Liberty the submission

[1:14:38] of a corresponding budget I love least

[1:14:40] take the blame for this resolution

[1:14:43] coming forward I will suggest that as

[1:14:44] this council been very interested in

[1:14:47] one of our first projects in our

[1:14:51] general obligation bond package was a

[1:14:53] signal synchronization on Broadway

[1:14:56] that's we have another opportunity to

[1:14:59] push the new technology around that

[1:15:02] head with the gentlemen good morning

[1:15:04] or late you present good morning

[1:15:05] Chairman Wyatt remembers the committee

[1:15:06] was bitter see manager's office with

[1:15:11] me is way son from works department

[1:15:12] and what this resolution would allow

[1:15:15] us to do would be to request or Mid

[1:15:17] America Regional Council expansion of

[1:15:19] the Operation Green Light system that

[1:15:23] would include one fifty two cord or

[1:15:25] the one fifty two chord or has had

[1:15:29] some efficiency issues being a high

[1:15:31] speed facility that then dumps into a

[1:15:32] commercialized area with lots of

[1:15:35] stoplights and so we have added a two

[1:15:38] stop lights low net cord or was some

[1:15:40] access management changes with Mo dot

[1:15:43] in the last ten years and so we are

[1:15:45] constructing an improvement on

[1:15:48] the interchange at I thirty five in

[1:15:49] deliveries constructing an improvement

[1:15:51] on the Kansas side which we're

[1:15:52] partnering with them through the Shoal

[1:15:54] Creek tip for million and half dollars

[1:15:56] on a twenty five million dollar

[1:15:57] projects it's pretty good return on

[1:15:59] our investment in that core door and

[1:16:01] so what we like to do is one set

[1:16:03] projects done. We like them in America

[1:16:05] Regional Council to expand

[1:16:06] the operation green light systems of

[1:16:10] the signals would actually talk to

[1:16:11] each other in so that we could better

[1:16:14] manage the flow and try to get us all

[1:16:15] the traffic problem there but at least

[1:16:19] make it little more efficient for a

[1:16:24] twenty hours of the day with onion and

[1:16:25] anything I don't have any comments are

[1:16:26] very well. I will add Tulsa for

[1:16:28] the benefit of the committee that

[1:16:30] tomorrow we will have a meeting of

[1:16:32] the Shoal Creek to if tomorrow and

[1:16:35] it'll be my intention to add a

[1:16:37] budgetary line item within its budget

[1:16:40] to help defer costs that's at the Mid

[1:16:41] America Regional Council May have both

[1:16:44] in terms of its study and then

[1:16:46] the execution. I will note and I think

[1:16:48] Mr. Minter was also very charitable

[1:16:52] when he talked about the traffic

[1:16:55] congestion issues within that core

[1:16:59] door you know it's bad enough because

[1:17:00] not a bridge but for most people I

[1:17:01] think when there even was a bridge. It

[1:17:03] was pretty bad and needs some

[1:17:05] assistance so with that I will ask if

[1:17:08] there's any questions or comments from

[1:17:11] committee is really pout testimony

[1:17:15] for resolution one nine zero five for

[1:17:18] one Mr. Glover is a big champion of

[1:17:22] thumbs up

[1:17:22] but I find it hard to believe that's

[1:17:29] all you want to do maturing into

[1:17:32] account. I think it's good resolution

[1:17:34] urged passage. Thank you very much Mr.

[1:17:36] Glover it's always good to see a Is

[1:17:38] there any missing no further

[1:17:40] discussion is or to any recommendation

[1:17:42] Yes Mr. Chairman I move that

[1:17:44] resolution number one nine zero five

[1:17:46] for one report out of committee with

[1:17:48] the recommendation of immediate

[1:17:50] adoption it has moved and seconded

[1:17:52] the resolution of one nine zero five

[1:17:54] for one should be passed up a

[1:17:55] committee with recommendation of

[1:17:57] immediate adoption is a discussion on

[1:17:59] the motion hearing not all a favor

[1:18:02] signify by saying I suppose we will

[1:18:07] hear this tomorrow. Thank you very

[1:18:09] much in one last item committee

[1:18:10] substitute ordinance one nine zero

[1:18:13] three three six authorizing City

[1:18:15] Manager enter into agreement with

[1:18:18] the tax increment financing Commission

[1:18:19] for sanitary sewer line project along

[1:18:21] North Arlington Avenue appropriating

[1:18:22] one point six million in fine Number

[1:18:26] three three zero nine zero the capital

[1:18:28] improvement fund am recognizing this

[1:18:30] ordinance is having an accelerated

[1:18:31] effective date will know for

[1:18:32] the committee and those watching that

[1:18:34] so we held this a couple of weeks ago

[1:18:36] at the request the city manager to

[1:18:38] make some changes might assume those

[1:18:40] changes have been done and thus missed

[1:18:42] using you are here this morning good

[1:18:44] morning. They have a morning Scott

[1:18:47] using it again from Budget Office and

[1:18:49] pitching for the city manager today to

[1:18:53] be a off site function but it's

[1:18:54] the idyllic me sub before you before

[1:18:55] one twenty three three six

[1:18:57] The committee's sub allocate

[1:18:58] the appropriate one point six million

[1:19:01] dollars from the un appropriate fund

[1:19:03] balance of the capital improvement

[1:19:07] sales tax to support affirmation sewer

[1:19:10] projects in the north Arlington area

[1:19:12] for the development that's proposed in

[1:19:14] the north and Council District one and

[1:19:18] this would allow the project proceed

[1:19:22] without any any funding from

[1:19:23] the enterprise fund would be a

[1:19:24] straight fund balance appropriation

[1:19:27] that the general fund would be through

[1:19:29] or swim in future years to recoup

[1:19:32] utilities taxes so I believe that's

[1:19:35] members of the development team here a

[1:19:38] few questions about the project itself

[1:19:39] but again the committee's sub uses

[1:19:41] fund balance of the cap open sales tax

[1:19:48] and I think we are regular summit and

[1:19:49] did I get I hear you correctly. Scott

[1:19:51] cut the backing of that is from

[1:19:54] utility tax generation or not directly

[1:19:56] project itself would be funded with

[1:19:59] the with the camper when sales tax

[1:20:01] fund and each is the project is

[1:20:03] expected to generate utility tax

[1:20:05] revenue the project and that would

[1:20:07] benefit the general fund under

[1:20:10] the future years. Gotcha Okay I do

[1:20:12] note the folks involved with this

[1:20:14] project are here if you wish to say

[1:20:18] anything particular to the project or

[1:20:23] not Mr. Bauer surely you your bill and

[1:20:25] someone for the smiles will say

[1:20:29] something. Thank you Jim Bauer chef on

[1:20:32] Midwest and Mr. Schmidt is also here

[1:20:33] to have fun and just like to follow

[1:20:36] the lead of former City Councilman Jim

[1:20:38] Glover and say I'm simply here to

[1:20:41] support the ordinance will answer

[1:20:43] the question of very well very well

[1:20:44] Are there any questions questions or

[1:20:47] comments from committee saying Israeli

[1:20:49] testimony for committee substitute

[1:20:52] for December one nine zero three three

[1:20:55] six seeing on a committee

[1:20:56] recommendation. Yes Mr. Chairman I

[1:20:57] move that committee substitute for

[1:20:58] ordinance Number one nine zero three

[1:21:00] three sixty report out of committee

[1:21:02] with the recommendation of advancing

[1:21:06] to pass it has been seconded

[1:21:07] the committee substitute for December

[1:21:08] one nine zero three three six who

[1:21:09] passed a committee with recommendation

[1:21:11] of advancing to pass is there a

[1:21:13] discussion on a motion hearing on all

[1:21:16] in favor signify by saying I I pose

[1:21:19] this tomorrow. Thank you very much. I

[1:21:21] do notes that we have gone not listed

[1:21:23] under semi annual docket that there's

[1:21:25] a listing of items that have been

[1:21:26] provided. I understand that we have

[1:21:29] only one item on the semi annual

[1:21:33] docket which we will intend to dispose

[1:21:35] of next week but for those who are

[1:21:36] watching go check out the semi annual

[1:21:38] docket lots of what really is nothing

[1:21:40] exciting in there from this this

[1:21:43] committee but you're welcome to look

[1:21:44] at anyway. We do have one item of

[1:21:46] additional business. Very briefly Mr.

[1:21:50] Burke if you read that item please

[1:21:53] update from the mayor's pension task

[1:22:00] force who wants to take this one

[1:22:01] The Rock Paper scissors happening. I

[1:22:04] did see that was kind of like that. I

[1:22:06] always win but every time. Good

[1:22:08] morning there protecting members of

[1:22:09] the committee team equipment

[1:22:11] the finance department the pension

[1:22:12] the mayor's pension task force has

[1:22:16] continued to meet and they met on last

[1:22:19] Monday. This past Monday. Most

[1:22:20] recently and what they're doing is

[1:22:23] working through a list of

[1:22:24] recommendations that they would like

[1:22:27] to make the consultant expects to

[1:22:31] provide its final report next. I think

[1:22:33] Tuesday is when the anticipated

[1:22:35] delivery date of that report is and

[1:22:37] the final meeting of the task force

[1:22:39] where they sort of vote on all of

[1:22:40] the recommendations that are under

[1:22:42] consideration will be July the twenty

[1:22:44] second. That's when its anticipated so

[1:22:45] some of the things that they're

[1:22:46] talking about right now is a revision

[1:22:49] to the city's pension funding policy

[1:22:51] we don't really have a formal one that

[1:22:53] we have a de facto funding policy that

[1:22:54] I think you've heard about several

[1:22:57] times from each of us relative to

[1:23:00] paying the required actuarial required

[1:23:03] contribution that's by law by city

[1:23:05] ordinance and state law we have to do

[1:23:09] that the top d edits that they want to

[1:23:10] make or that the additions to a

[1:23:12] potential funding policy for pensions

[1:23:15] would be to maybe have an amount over

[1:23:17] and above that the city would consider

[1:23:19] funding May be and when there's a year

[1:23:20] when there's additional revenue when

[1:23:25] there's additional fund balance

[1:23:26] perhaps we put in a little bit more

[1:23:27] using some more conservative

[1:23:28] assumptions that we would have

[1:23:29] the pension fund's actuary is

[1:23:32] calculate for us and basically hand us

[1:23:34] a bill that says this is what you

[1:23:36] legally oh and then an additional bill

[1:23:37] that says you could pay this

[1:23:39] additional amount should you choose to

[1:23:42] do so and that in that wait May be

[1:23:44] closing that gap on our eight hundred

[1:23:45] million dollars which our current

[1:23:47] eight hundred million dollars of

[1:23:49] unfunded liability. So that's one of

[1:23:51] the things that they're talking about

[1:23:53] they're also perhaps put forward some

[1:23:55] May be potential changes to the cost

[1:23:58] of living adjustments for pensioners

[1:24:01] and for perhaps current right retirees

[1:24:06] as well as future retirees and am

[1:24:08] trying to think of if I've missed

[1:24:09] among us. Oh yes it May perhaps a

[1:24:13] change to the final average

[1:24:14] compensation calculation right now

[1:24:15] that is at two years for most of

[1:24:43] the plan participants it varies by

[1:24:44] defined contribution option which

[1:24:47] would have a you know in the distant

[1:24:49] future impact on on the liability but

[1:24:52] it really be more about recruitment

[1:24:53] Southern to talk to perhaps the hr

[1:24:57] director about that mess there in

[1:24:58] human resources department they think

[1:25:01] that's a good idea and then they had

[1:25:02] one other corrections they wanted to

[1:25:03] make to the Employees Retirement

[1:25:05] System in the last round of pension

[1:25:07] reform there was a move to go from

[1:25:09] five year besting to tenure fasting

[1:25:11] and the ten year besting have had a an

[1:25:13] issue relative to recruitment

[1:25:14] particularly for people who are

[1:25:17] transitioning from one government job

[1:25:21] to another and trying to refuse to

[1:25:24] clean that the town at the top four

[1:25:25] people at my want to do a five or ten

[1:25:26] year gig in addition to theirs. So

[1:25:27] that's been kind of an issue as well

[1:25:29] so you don't have a defined

[1:25:30] contribution which is more portable

[1:25:31] and then you have this ten year

[1:25:33] besting the kind of missing out on a

[1:25:36] group of folks that you could recruit

[1:25:39] to that kind of it and since we have

[1:25:44] you can it's been a long time coming

[1:25:47] The treasurer who was reluctant to

[1:25:48] come the microphone and join us as has

[1:25:51] prepared something for for Mayor Pro

[1:25:55] Tem Wagner knocked over and partway

[1:25:57] through I was a bit since he doesn't

[1:25:59] always attend the investment committee

[1:26:01] meeting regularly I don't know if you

[1:26:03] his colleagues know he's the first

[1:26:05] District Councilmember Hoosier finance

[1:26:08] chair he's your mayor pro Tem but he's

[1:26:11] also a member of the city's investment

[1:26:15] committee about six or seven finance

[1:26:16] chairs ago there was a financier who

[1:26:18] said you know I really like to run for

[1:26:21] state treasurer someday could I join

[1:26:23] you. The investment committee and when

[1:26:25] was the monthly meeting. I think once

[1:26:27] he learned what we did he was

[1:26:31] reluctant to think that was a great

[1:26:33] idea. Having said that each successive

[1:26:35] financier since then has had to attend

[1:26:38] those meetings and we make blistering

[1:26:41] bone chilling decisions on buying

[1:26:46] Treasury notes in agencies and parking

[1:26:47] the city's money in very safe

[1:26:49] investments in Mr. Wagner's tenure he

[1:26:51] has made over four point seven billion

[1:26:54] dollars worth of investments in fixed

[1:26:57] income securities and is counting

[1:26:58] because special actions are

[1:27:00] the favorite part of you were

[1:27:03] Thursdays so we're having a special

[1:27:05] action today in this committee which

[1:27:08] is probably unprecedented to talk

[1:27:10] about m pt. There's an asterisk on

[1:27:13] here it says Minnesota Poll pseudo

[1:27:20] Treasurer Scott Wagner aka t note I t

[1:27:21] know I'd seen the transformative lead

[1:27:26] nurturing outbound Treasury expert

[1:27:27] that has faithfully served the award

[1:27:31] winning Committee for a

[1:27:33] good four year term and has acted

[1:27:38] prudent fiduciary early during his

[1:27:40] term or yeah where where where does is

[1:27:41] to fix our national seal and

[1:27:42] the treasurer has signed this for you

[1:27:46] so. Wow. In lieu of a pension or watch

[1:27:48] a lovely plaque. We want to thank you

[1:27:49] for your service on the investment

[1:27:55] the first floor for you if you wish

[1:27:57] come back and well I think I'm

[1:28:00] restricted for a year from coming up

[1:28:02] getting them but I as a member of the

[1:28:34] with us to introduce Marcus just don't

[1:28:36] get to see him guest room and plays

[1:28:37] Joan Marcus Whitworth who actually is

[1:28:38] are the city's investment manager and

[1:28:40] handles the billion dollars worth of

[1:28:42] money that sits in the city's bank

[1:28:44] account and all the funds and does all

[1:28:46] the hard work of making those

[1:29:35] kind of um I will also know for

[1:29:38] the joint committee meeting next week

[1:29:40] to deal with the issues with

[1:29:43] the neighborhoods Committee would not

[1:29:44] schedule it up for this week so plan

[1:29:47] on it next week and the comment that

[1:29:53] that counts when Barnes made on the in

[1:29:54] tf conversation and I've been reminded

[1:29:54] this whole meeting because that slide

[1:29:57] has been up ever since them is I will

[1:30:00] endeavor to see if we can do a an

[1:30:03] additional business item related to

[1:30:04] open spaces because I think there are

[1:30:06] a lot of questions I still get some

[1:30:08] emails like to have maybe a little

[1:30:11] conversation as we wind up this term
