Uh Gwen from Quick Trip is here. Um

questions about about any of this, I
[1:45] think it's pretty straightforward, but
she is here to answer any questions. And
[1:50] that's very welcome. Do you want to
>> just the only comment I'll make is this
[1:53] is just simply a lot consolidation that
includes five different lots that are
[1:57] being consolidated into one. Um, and
that's that's really all this is about.
[2:02] It's just lot consolidation.
>> So, I do recommend approval.
[2:10] I would like it like to introduce bill
number 2026-31
[2:14] for first and second reading by title
only.

[2:35] Second reading, an ordinance approving

[2:47] north range one west city of St. Clair,
Franklin County, Missouri.
[2:53] » I move to approve bill number 20.6-31

[3:02] » May roll call, please.

[3:05] » Alderman Dward

[3:08] » Alderman Sailing

[3:09] » Alderman Shelton

[3:13] » motion carries bill number 2026-31

[3:22] Thank you for being here.
>> Thank you.
[3:29] Next we have the uh next item is a
contract with times contracting for
[3:35] sidewalk and storm drainage improvements
bill number 2026-32.
[3:41] Administrator Loki.
>> Thank you mayor, members of the board.
[3:44] This project was bid out in late July.
We did the bid openings on August the
[3:48] 20th. We did receive four bids. You can
see on page 54 of your packet all four
[3:54] bids that are listed there. The low bid
is time construction at $465,474.
[4:03] I will remind everybody this is a MODOT
cap project. That means that uh MODOT
[4:10] pays 80% of the total cost of the
project. And so even though we are going
[4:16] to pay 465
uh 474 will get reimbured for a minimum
[4:21] of 80% of the project. Um, Kines comes
very highly recommended. You can't even
[4:28] get on a Monot TAP project unless you're
a part of their bid system on the state
[4:33] level. Um, we got a lot of positive
comments back on kind. We're excited
[4:38] about having them do the project. Um,
and earlier today, I think I put in here
[4:43] I was still waiting on approval. Earlier
today, I did get out approval. So, this
[4:48] has been approved by the state at that
level. Um, we budgeted 550 for this. So,
[4:54] the low bid is significantly under
budget. So, even though we're only uh
[5:00] paying 20% of it, we're still saving 85
plus thousand out of our budget that
[5:07] that we that we had put in place. So,
that's a very positive and I do
[5:11] recommend approval. I'm happy to answer
any questions that you have. If I can't
[5:14] answer them, I do have Jason here. He
can answer.
[5:21] I'd like to introduce bill number
2026-32
[5:26] for first and second reading by title.
>> First reading, an ordinance for the city
[5:32] of Sinclair authorizing the mayor to
sign a contract with times contracting
[5:36] for sidewalk and stern drainage
improvements on Walton and Jean Streets
[5:40] for an amount not to exceed $465,474.
[5:46] Second reading, an ordinance for the

[5:50] to sign a contract with Times
Contracting for sidewalk and storm

[6:09] » I'll second.
[6:13] » Roll call, please. Alderman Asher.
>> Hi.
[6:16] » Alderman Dolber.

[6:22] » Motion carries. Bill number 2026-32

[6:32] All right. Attorney boss not here.
Administrator Welty.
[6:37] » Yeah. Thank you, Mayor Mor. I just want
to thank Amanda's not only for being
[6:41] here to take the picture tonight, but
also on very short notice for filling in
[6:46] uh with because Megan couldn't be here
tonight. So, thank you, Amanda.
[6:50] » Thank you,
>> editor.
[6:53] » Was it? Sorry.
>> No, you're good.
[6:56] » Jason,
>> uh, nothing at this time.
[7:00] » Okay,
>> Chief Sykes.
[7:03] » Yeah, nothing at this time.
>> Craig, nothing at this time. Lucas,
[7:09] » nothing at this time.
>> Board members,
[7:14] anything?
>> I have a couple things, just a couple of
[7:16] followups. Um,
>> I took a drive around town, noticed that
[7:20] we have a few, quite a few properties,
but the grass is kind of out of control.
[7:26] I noticed that we had posted something
on Facebook about 50 yards, people
[7:31] cutting grass. Is that part of something
that can handle some of that?
[7:38] You remember what I'm talking about?
>> So, we sometimes will post uh relevant
[7:43] information about ordinances, especially
as we go into different seasons. Is that
[7:46] what you're talking about?
>> No. Um there's a post is for kids 8
[7:52] years old to 17. If they mow 50 grasses,
>> 50 yards.
[7:59] Yeah.
>> Oh, okay.
[8:02] Well,
if we have kids in town that want to mow
[8:06] and they want to approach the homeowners
that have the tall grass and they can
[8:09] certainly do so, the city should
probably stay out of that.
[8:13] » It's not our property.
>> And so, we're going to do our process
[8:17] and we're going to we're going to talk
to those people. Maybe Craig, when we do
[8:22] approach these people, we could we could
give them this information and and share
[8:26] that with them and maybe we could have
them reach out and and do that. that we
[8:30] can't be coordinating the mowing of
grass on private property without a
[8:33] court order.
>> I just was asking because I thought I
[8:36] saw it come off of the city page on the
Facebook, so that's why I was inquiring
[8:40] it.
>> So, it came through the city page.
[8:45] » Yeah.
>> Okay. [clears throat]
[8:48] Well, we we pull stuff for the
community, but it doesn't necessarily
[8:52] mean that that that we can allow
privacy.
[8:56] » No, I understand that. That's why I was
asking,
[8:58] » but I'll look into it.
>> And the only other thing I have is um I
[9:02] know a couple meetings ago I asked about
the flower bed that's in between Jim's
[9:05] auto sale and the caboose. Are we going
to get an attention on that? It's really
[9:11] » where the stuff is so beautifully
manicured and then you have that.
[9:17] » Right. So I got to we're we're currently
discussing whether but we're going to do
[9:21] that in the fall. We're currently
discussing whether we're going to do it
[9:24] in house or or paid to have it done. Um
I've also talked to John Pelton about
[9:30] getting some high school kids to help
with that.
[9:33] » That is something that we have on our
radar. That whole area I think you're
[9:36] talking about that area between the car
lot and our property.
[9:39] » Yes.
>> The I'm I'm we're ready to move on that.
[9:43] I
>> I am just I just want to make sure we
[9:46] own the property. And so I've I've I've
been inquiring with with the county just
[9:51] to make sure I know exactly where the
property line is. I don't want I don't
[9:54] want to cut all that down and find out
it's on somebody else's property.
[9:57] » But yes, that is all coming down
>> and we were either going to mulch it and
[10:02] maybe put some bushes there next year or
just turn it into grass, one or the
[10:07] other. So but yes, Connie, that is
something that's on our list and we are
[10:12] going to uh uh we're going to get going
on that. I'm going to make a note and as
[10:16] soon as we make a decision on that, I'll
let you know.
[10:18] » Okay. Thank you.
>> Anyone else,
[10:25] public participation?
[clears throat]
[10:31] All right. Our next scheduled meeting,
we have a public hearing on Monday,
[10:36] September 21st at 6:45
followed by the regular meeting uh that
[10:42] evening at 700 p.m.
What's the public hearing on
