ITEM NUMBER 5. TIM. THANK YOU. MAYOR, CITY COUNCIL.

[5. Approval of an agreement with Alfred Benesch & Company for design services for the Quivira Bridge over I-35 Maintenance Project ]

I WANT TO THANK COUNCIL MEMBER BELL FOR RAISING THE QUESTIONS ON THIS.

IT'LL GIVE ME A CHANCE TO EXPLAIN A LITTLE BETTER OF OF WHAT WE'VE GOT GOING ON.

[00:05:04]

IT'S TAKEN A LITTLE BIT OF A CIRCUITOUS ROUTE MORE THAN I'VE I'VE THOUGHT, BUT I'M GOING TO GIVE YOU JUST A LITTLE BIT OF BACKGROUND.

IN JANUARY OF 2025, THIS PROJECT WAS INCLUDED IN FOR FUNDING FOR 25 DESIGN 26 CONSTRUCTION.

THAT ORIGINAL SCOPE I PUT TOGETHER, WE'RE LOOKING AT STRICTLY ESTHETICS.

WE'LL PAINT THE RAILINGS PAINT OR REPLACE STREET LIGHT POLES AND TRAFFIC SIGNAL AND WE'LL BE GOOD.

IT'LL LOOK GOOD. THIS BRIDGE WAS BUILT IN 1994, SO IT'S 32 YEARS OLD.

AND HONESTLY, I DON'T THINK ANYTHING'S BEEN DONE OTHER THAN SOME SCUPPER WORK FOR DRAINAGE ON THE BOTTOM.

SO IT'S BEEN A GREAT BRIDGE. IT'S HELD UP WELL.

BUT IN SUMMER OF 2025, I'LL BRING UP A LITTLE SLIDE HERE.

WE HAD CONTACTED KDOT TO LET THEM KNOW, HEY, WE'RE GOING TO BE DOING SOME WORK ON THE BRIDGE AND BLAH BLAH BLAH.

CAN WE GET A PROJECT NUMBER FROM YOU? WELL, AS THEY STARTED LOOKING INTO IT AND WE STARTED LOOKING BACK AT AGREEMENTS FROM 1994, WHAT WE ALL FOUND OUT AND DETERMINED WAS, SO THIS IS QUIVIRA ROAD BRIDGE.

THIS IS THE SOUTH SIDE OF QUIVIRA ROAD, I-35.

THIS IS THE RAMP THAT COMES UP TO THE QUIVIRA ROAD BRIDGE.

WHAT WE FOUND OUT FROM THE AGREEMENTS FROM 1994 IS THAT FOR 1, THE CITY AGREED TO PERFORM MAINTENANCE ON THE OVERLAND PARK SIDE.

SO THAT VERY SOUTH EAST CORNER IS ACTUALLY IN OVERLAND PARK.

THE AGREEMENT STATES THAT THERE'S ANY IMPROVEMENTS WILL PAY FOR THOSE IMPROVEMENTS.

SO WE WON'T BE GOING ASKING OVERLAND PARK FOR ASSISTANCE ON PAINTING AND THOSE SORT OF THINGS.

THE AGREEMENT WAS PRETTY CLEAR. BUT THE OTHER THING IS THAT KDOT NOTIFIED US, AND THE AGREEMENT SHOWED THAT THE BLUE SECTION THERE FROM THE RAMP TO THE NORTH IS ACTUALLY 100% CITY MAINTENANCE. SO ON A TYPICAL KDOT PROJECT OR ON A TYPICAL BRIDGE OVER A HIGHWAY.

THE CITY IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE BRIDGE DECK AND THEN ANYTHING ABOVE THAT.

SO THE RAILINGS, THE BRIDGE DECK, THE STREET LIGHTING, TRAFFIC SIGNALS, THOSE SORT OF THINGS.

THEN THE SUBSTRUCTURE, THE PIERS, THE GIRDERS, ALL THOSE.

KDOT TAKES CARE OF THOSE. SO IN THE CASE OF THE RED THAT IS THE CASE WE'LL MAINTAIN FROM THE BRIDGE DECK UP THE BLUE.

WE'RE 100% RESPONSIBLE FOR EVERYTHING ON THAT.

AND THEN IF YOU IF YOU CAN PICTURE THIS, THERE'S A LOT OF RETAINING WALLS ON BOTH SIDES.

WE'RE 100% RESPONSIBLE FOR THOSE RETAINING WALLS.

SO IN FALL OF 2025, WE 2025, WE HIRED CONSULTANTS TO PERFORM A PRELIMINARY ENGINEERING STUDY AND THEN PERFORM THE THE ANNUAL KDOT OR BIENNIAL KDOT BRIDGE INSPECTIONS AND SUBMITTED THOSE TO KDOT AND I'M SORRY.

FHWA WELL, WHEN WE GOT THE REPORT BACK, THERE WERE A NUMBER OF THINGS THAT WE NEED TO LOOK AT.

IN ADDITION, NOTHING STRUCTURAL. THAT'S THAT'S AN ISSUE FOR THE BRIDGE, BUT MORE PROACTIVE MAINTENANCE WE NEED TO GET DONE.

LIKE ON THE STREET LIGHTING, THE TRAFFIC SIGNALS, THEY NEED ALL NEW WIRING.

THERE'S SOME PEDESTALS AND THINGS OUT THERE FOR THE TRAFFIC SIGNAL WE NEED REPLACED.

PROBABLY THE BIGGEST THING IS THEY FOUND SOME ISSUES WITH SOME OF THE RETAINING WALLS, SOME VOIDS BEHIND THOSE.

AND THEN THE DECK PATCHING. THERE'S A FEW PLACES WE NEED TO PATCH THE DECK AS PART OF THIS DESIGN.

THEY'LL ACTUALLY THEY'VE GOT DRONES. NOW I DON'T KNOW IF YOU IF ANYONE'S USED TO, BUT BACK IN THE OLD DAYS, YOU'D ACTUALLY PHYSICALLY TAKE A CHAIN ON A ROD AND WALK OUT THERE AND YOU'D LISTEN TO IT ON THE DECK.

AND IF IT'S HOLLOW AND UNDER THE DECK AND THERE'S VOIDS UNDER THE DECK, YOU HEAR A DIFFERENT SOUND.

WELL, THAT'S ALL GONE NOW. YOU USE DRONES NOW, AND THE DRONES WILL TAKE TAKE VIDEOS OF IT.

AND THE OTHER BENEFIT IS WE DON'T HAVE TO CLOSE THE ROAD WITH THE DRONES. BUT, BUT ANYWAY, SO THE DECK PATCHING WILL HAVE SOME OUT THERE.

WE HAD WORKED WITH PAYMENT MANAGEMENT. THERE'S SOME APPROACH PAYMENT CLOSER TO QUIVIRA BETWEEN I'M SORRY, 87TH AND THE BRIDGE THAT NEEDS WORK. AND ONE THING WE DIDN'T TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION IS JUST ON THE PHASING OF THE WORK ITSELF.

MOST LIKELY WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO CLOSE ONE SIDE OF THAT BRIDGE TO DO THE WORK TO REMOVE REPLACE ALL THE RAILINGS.

AND WHEN WE DO THAT, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO HAVE ONE WAY TRAFFIC ON THE OTHER BRIDGE. SO JUST THAT COORDINATION I THINK IS GOING TO BE FAIRLY EXPENSIVE.

SO THAT REVISED OUR ESTIMATE QUITE A BIT. AND THEN THE QUESTION CAME UP ORIGINALLY THE FEE THAT WE'RE PROPOSING OR THAT PROPOSED BASED ON THE ORIGINAL SCOPE IS 20%, BUT BASED ON THE REVISED SCOPE OF THE WORK THEY'LL BE DOING, IT'S IN THAT 11.5% RANGE.

SO WHICH IS TOLERABLE. THE OTHER THING THAT I THINK RAISES THAT PRICE A LITTLE BIT, IS THERE GOING TO BE A LOT OF COORDINATION WITH KDOT AND A LOT OF COORDINATION WITH BNSF? WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO DO SOME SPECIAL THINGS OVER THE HIGHWAY AND OVER THE RAILROAD.

SO WHAT OUR PLAN WOULD BE THE CIP IS ABOUT 1.625 MILLION.

[00:10:02]

WE'LL HAVE MORE INFORMATION ON THE BRIDGE DECK, HOW MUCH PATCHING WE NEED, WHICH IS PRETTY EXPENSIVE. AND IF WE CAN CUT SOME OF THOSE OUT, I THINK WE CAN LOWER THAT PRICE. THEN DURING THE CIP THIS FALL, WE'LL DETERMINE DO WE WANT TO TRY TO REQUEST TO INCREASE THE BUDGET OR DO WE JUST WANT TO PHASE THIS PROJECT OVER A COUPLE YEARS. MAYBE WE DO THE RAILINGS ONE YEAR, THE DECK THE NEXT YEAR.

BUT AS WE GET FURTHER INTO DESIGN, WE'LL HAVE THAT DISCUSSION DURING THE CIP MEETINGS.

AND TONIGHT'S CONTRACT IS JUST APPROVING FINISHES WORK TO DETERMINE ALL OF THAT.

THAT'S CORRECT. THAT'S CORRECT. ANY QUESTIONS FOR TIM AVERY? ONE QUICK ONE. YOU SAID OVERLAND PARK OWNS THE OTHER SIDE OF THAT ON THE IMAGE, RIGHT? YES. I GUESS IS THERE A DEGREE TO WHICH I DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S ANY COORDINATION WE HAVE TO DO WITH THEM FOR ADDITIONAL, SAY, REPAIRS TO THE ESTHETICS? ETC, ETC. WE WILL COORDINATE WITH THEM.

WE'VE ORIGINALLY CONTACTED THEM, BUT WE WILL BE IN CLOSE COORDINATION, ESPECIALLY IF WE HAVE TO CLOSE ONE SIDE OF THE BRIDGE.

WE'LL HAVE THOSE TAPERS WAY BACK INTO OVERLAND PARK, AND WE SEEM TO DO A LOT OF WORK ON QUIVIRA THERE AND COORDINATE WELL WITH OVERLAND PARK.

SO IN OUR LOCAL AGREEMENT, FOR THEM TO PAY FOR ANY OF THE REPAIRS PER YEAR, 1990S.

NO, IT'S IT'S VERY CLEAR THAT OVERLAND PARK WILL NOT HAVE ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE BRIDGE.

THANK YOU. ANYTHING ELSE? THAT WILL TAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE ITEM 5.

THE CONTRACT WITH BENESCH AND COMPANY FOR THE DESIGN SERVICES ON THE QUIVIRA BRIDGE.

SECOND. MOTION BY BILL. SECOND BY AVERY. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR? AYE. THOSE OPPOSED. ITEM IS APPROVED. ITEM NUMBER 8 IS A.

[8. Consideration of tax abatement and issuance of industrial revenue bonds for the Lenexa Logistics Centre North Phase II - Building 8 ]

PHASE 2, BUILDING 8. ITEM 8.A. IS A PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER EXEMPTION FROM AD VALOREM TAXES FOR PROPERTY FINANCE WITH IRBS.

ITEM 8.B IS A RESOLUTION DETERMINING THE INTENT OF THE CITY TO ISSUE APPROXIMATELY $42.5 MILLION IN INDUSTRIAL REVENUE BONDS AND APPROVING A 10 YEAR TAX ABATEMENT WITH PAYMENT IN LIEU OF TAXES AGREEMENT.

SEAN. GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL. SEAN MCLAUGHLIN, CITY ATTORNEY.

I AM HERE TO PRESENT ON BUILDING 8 A LENEXA LOGISTICS CENTER NORTH PHASE 2.

AGAIN, THIS IS PART OF A LARGER PROJECT. SO I DO LIKE TO GIVE YOU GUYS A BIT OF BACKGROUND.

SO IN 2019, THE MASTER RESOLUTION WAS APPROVED FOR THE AREA IN RED THERE ON THE MAP, WHICH IS APPROXIMATELY 100, JUST UNDER 150 ACRES AT THE NORTHWEST CORNER OF RENNER AND COLLEGE BOULEVARD.

THE TERMS OF THOSE RESOLUTIONS ARE THAT RESOLUTION WAS A 10 YEAR FIXED ABATEMENT FOR EACH BUILDING THAT CAME IN, VALUED AT $120 A SQUARE FOOT, WITH AN EFFECTIVE ABATEMENT OF 71% FOR THE ORIGINAL MASTER RESOLUTION ANTICIPATED TOTAL CAPITAL INVESTMENT OVER $120 MILLION. WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE TODAY, AND THIS IS NOT AT THIS IS ANTICIPATED BUILD OUT IS ABOUT 1.8 05,000,000FT² OF BUILDINGS AND ABOUT TEN BUILDINGS, GIVE OR TAKE.

WE ARE WE HAVE APPROVED WITH TONIGHT'S. YOU WILL HAVE CONSIDERED 5 OF THOSE BUILDINGS SO FAR.

ADDITIONALLY, AS PART OF THIS DEVELOPMENT, IN 2021, WE APPROVED 2 SPECIAL BENEFIT DISTRICTS FOR THE INFRASTRUCTURE.

IN 2022, WE STARTED THE STORMWATER, WHICH IS COMPLETE.

AND THEN LAST YEAR WE AMENDED THE BRITTON STREET EXTENSION.

THAT IS UNDER CONSTRUCTION RIGHT NOW. ANTICIPATED COMPLETION MAYBE BY THE END OF THIS YEAR, CERTAINLY EARLY NEXT YEAR. SO SPECIFICALLY WE'RE TALKING ABOUT BUILDING 8, WHICH IS THE AREA OR THE LOT, WHICH WILL BE A LOT HIGHLIGHTED THERE IN RED ON THE MAP.

IT'S APPROXIMATELY 471,000FT² WITH A $42.5 MILLION IRB.

IT IS A FIXED ABATEMENT AT $1.20 A SQUARE FOOT WITH AN ANNUAL 2% INCREASE.

WHAT THAT MEANS FOR THIS SPECIFIC PROJECT IS A.

OVER THE 10 YEAR, THE 71% ABATEMENT OVER 10 YEARS EQUALS A 1.8 MILLION 10 YEAR TOTAL ON THE PILOT, BUT I SHOULD. GOING BACK IS CURRENTLY PAYING JUST UNDER $200 ON THAT AREA HIGHLIGHTED IN RED.

THAT'S AN APPROXIMATION BECAUSE WE HAD TO DO THE MATH BECAUSE THAT'S NOT A LOT RIGHT NOW.

IT IS PAYING $47,000 IN SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS ANNUALLY.

THAT IS THE STORMWATER SPD AS WELL AS A WASTEWATER 1.

I DON'T KNOW HOW LONG THE WASTEWATER ONE IS, BUT THAT IS BEING PAID.

AND THEY WOULD BE PAYING THE BRITTON STREET EXTENSION WHEN THAT GETS ASSESSED IN THE NEXT YEAR OR 2.

SO IN THE FIRST YEAR OF THE ABATEMENT, THE PILOT WILL BE $67,000 OR APPROXIMATELY JUST UNDER ACTUALLY $68,000.

THAT WILL BE IN ADDITION TO THOSE ASSESSMENTS, THE ASSESSMENTS WILL CONTINUE ON. SO THOSE YOU'LL ADD THOSE 2 NUMBERS FOR WHAT THEY'LL BE

[00:15:03]

AND THEN AFTER THAT, IT WOULD GO BACK ON THE TAX ROLLS. STAFF DOES RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THE RESOLUTION AND THE TAX ABATEMENT.

IT'S A PUBLIC HEARING, BUT I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE.

ANY DISCUSSION BEFORE WE OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING? AVERY I JUST HAVE A REALLY A COMMENT, NOT A QUESTION.

BUT LOOKING OVER THE FULL LINUX LOGISTICS CENTER, BOTH NORTH AND SOUTH.

IT'S VERY PROMISING TO ME REALLY HOW MUCH THIS HAS DRIVEN THE DEVELOPMENT.

WE'RE SEEING 10 YEARS AGO THOSE ABATEMENTS COMING OFF AND NOW INTO FULL TAX ROLLS.

SO JUST LOOKING AT THAT AREA IN GENERAL, I'M VERY GLAD THAT WE DID IT 10 YEARS AGO.

AND I'M AGAIN APPRECIATIVE THAT WE GET THE OPPORTUNITY TO DO IT AGAIN.

THANK YOU. ANYTHING ELSE? OKAY. WE'LL NOW OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING.

ANYONE PRESENT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM? PLEASE COME FORWARD TO THE PODIUM SIGN IN AND STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD.

HEARING NONE, I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.

SO MOVED. MOTION BY AVERY. SECONDED BY JOHN MARK.

ALL THOSE IN FAVOR? AYE. THOSE OPPOSED? PUBLIC HEARING IS CLOSED.

ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION ON THIS ITEM? JOHN. MICHAEL, I'LL JUST ECHO WHAT AVERY SAID.

I MEAN, WE'RE CURRENTLY LOOKING AT ABOUT $197 A YEAR.

SO THE, YOU KNOW, 11 YEAR TAX ROLL FROM THAT ISN'T VERY COMPELLING.

I USE 11 INSTEAD OF THE 10 YEAR 1.8 MILLION BECAUSE I ASSUME THE ABATEMENT AMOUNT.

YEAR 10, ABOUT 55% LEADS US TO A $300,000 PILOT PAYMENT.

YEAR 11 WE JUMP UP WELL OVER HALF A MILLION. SO I THINK THIS IS A GOOD DEMONSTRATION OF A TOOL THAT WE'VE USED IN THIS AREA ON THIS DEVELOPMENT A NUMBER OF TIMES, AND IT'S WORTH KEEPING IN MIND THAT THAT 11TH YEAR IS ALSO REALLY ENTICING.

THANK YOU. ANYTHING ELSE? OKAY. I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO ADOPT THE RESOLUTION DETERMINING THE INTENT OF THE CITY TO ISSUE APPROXIMATELY $42.5 MILLION IN IRBS AND APPROVING A 10 YEAR TAX ABATEMENT ON THE PILOT AGREEMENT.

SO MOVED. SECOND. MOTION BY AVERY. SECOND BY CHELSEA.

ALL THOSE IN FAVOR? AYE. THOSE OPPOSED? MOTION PASSES.

WE HAVE NO NEW BUSINESS THIS EVENING. ANY COUNCIL MEMBER REPORTS?

[COUNCIL MEMBER REPORTS ]

[STAFF REPORTS ]

RED, YELLOW AND GREEN. YES, HOPEFULLY ALL GREEN.

IT IS ALL GREEN. YES. I WILL SPOIL IT FOR YOU.

I GUESS SINCE IT IS ELECTION NIGHT, IT'S ALL GREEN.

THERE'S ONLY REALLY ONE CHANGE FROM OUR FIRST QUARTER FINANCIAL REPORT.

IF YOU DON'T MIND, I'M JUST GOING TO HIGHLIGHT OUR REVENUES REAL FAST AND THEN OUR RESERVE INDICATORS.

AND THEN I'LL STAND FOR ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU HAVE. SO LOOKING AT REVENUES ON THE TOP ONE, WE DID RECEIVE OUR SECOND HALF PROPERTY TAX DISTRIBUTION IN JUNE.

AND YOU'LL ACTUALLY NOTICE THERE THAT WE'RE DOWN ABOUT 0.4% COMPARED TO WHERE WE WERE LAST YEAR.

THAT MEANS OUR DELINQUENCY RATE WENT UP A LITTLE BIT.

I DID CHECK ON SOME OF THE MAJOR PROPERTIES THAT HADN'T PAID.

AS OF THE DEADLINE, THEY DID PAY A COUPLE DAYS LATER.

SO OUR DELINQUENT DISTRIBUTION THAT WE TYPICALLY SEE IN OCTOBER AND NOVEMBER SHOULD BE A LITTLE BIT LARGER THAN IT HAS BEEN IN THE PAST AND KIND OF MAKE UP THAT DIFFERENCE GOING FORWARD. SALES AND USE TAX REMAIN STRONG.

I'LL JUMP DOWN TO FRANCHISE TAXES FOR GAS. WE HAD A DISCUSSION ABOUT THAT.

WE WERE DOWN 19% FIRST QUARTER. WE'RE KIND OF CLAWING OUR WAY BACK A LITTLE BIT.

WE'RE DOWN 8% STILL. I DID LOOK AHEAD IN JULY AND WE'RE ABOUT 91% OF OUR TOTAL BUDGET FOR THE YEAR THROUGH JULY.

SO WE'RE MAKING OUR WAY THROUGH THERE. STORMWATER SERVICE CHARGES.

THEY ARE ON THE PROPERTY TAX BILL. SO IF WE HAVE SOME DELINQUENCIES ON THE PROPERTY TAX SIDE, WE'RE GOING TO SEE SOME ON THE STORMWATER CAPITAL SIDE AS WELL.

SO THAT'S DOWN SLIGHTLY THROUGH JUNE. THEN I'LL JUMP DOWN TO OUR RESERVE POLICY INDICATORS.

JUST HIGHLIGHT AGAIN YOU'VE SEEN SOME SPIKES FOR THIS QUARTER.

AGAIN, THAT IS DUE TO THE SECOND HALF DISTRIBUTION PROPERTY TAXES COLLECTED IN JUNE.

THOSE WILL BE SPENT DOWN THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF 2026.

THAT IMPACTS THE GENERAL FUND, DEBT SERVICE FUND AND THE STORMWATER CAPITAL CHARGE AS WELL FOR STORMWATER FUND.

AND THEN REC CENTER AND TOURISM REMAIN PRETTY CLOSE TO WHERE THEY WERE AFTER THE FIRST QUARTER.

[00:20:05]

CORRECT. THAT PART OF IT. BUT ALSO IT'S GOING TO FUND THE BUDGETED OPERATIONS TOO.

SO THE MAIN PIECE IS WE RECEIVED THIS DISTRIBUTION 2 TIMES JANUARY IN JUNE.

AND THEN IT GOES TO FUND OPERATIONS AND THEN CASH FINANCING SOME CIP PROJECTS AS WELL.

AND WITH THAT I'LL STAND FOR ANY QUESTIONS YOU HAVE. ANY QUESTIONS FOR NATE? OKAY. GREEN IS GOOD. YEAH. GO AHEAD. SORRY. SORRY, NATE.

DO YOU MIND JUST ACTUALLY GOING BACK TO THE FIFA EXPENDITURES? YES. AWESOME STUFF. THANK YOU. AND THEN DO YOU KNOW OFF THE TOP OF YOUR HEAD. SO THE FUND IS RESTRICTED TO TOURISM PURPOSES.

AND THAT'S WHERE WE SPENT FROM. WERE ANY OF OUR EXPENDITURES FOR WORLD CUP REIMBURSABLE.

AS FAR AS LIKE GRANTS OR MAYBE FROM THE FEDERAL.

EITHER OF THOSE ITEMS OR I THINK IF WE HAD BEEN DOING ANYTHING DIRECTLY RELATED TO FIFA, IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN REIMBURSABLE, BUT I DON'T THINK WE HAD ANYTHING DIRECTLY RELATED TO THEM.

NO, I DON'T THINK WE DID. WE, WE ARE LOOKING INTO THAT AND STUFF.

AND OBVIOUSLY THIS IS AS OF JUNE 30TH. SO I KNOW THERE'S STILL SOME EXPENDITURES THAT TOOK PLACE AFTER THIS AS WELL.

BUT I CAN GET, I CAN GET A BETTER EXPLANATION FOR YOU.

YEAH. MOST OF THAT OCCURRED WAS EITHER BEING PROVIDED TO THE COUNTY OR MARK.

GOT IT. AND WE CONTRIBUTED A PORTION TO IT OUT OF TRANSIENT GUEST TAX, BUT THAT WOULDN'T FLOW ALL THE WAY BACK TO US, I DON'T BELIEVE. OKAY. AWESOME. OKAY. THANK YOU BOTH.

OKAY. THANK YOU, NATE AND TIM, FOR AN UPDATE ON THE FISCAL YEAR 26 THROUGH 30 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM.

THANK YOU. I'M QUICK, BUT NOT THAT QUICK. SO.

I KNOW IT'S HARDER FOR ME TO GET TO GRINDERS THESE DAYS.

THE BRIDGE CLOSING ON MONDAY. THANK YOU. IT'S BEEN A WHILE SINCE I'VE BEEN HERE FOR A CIP UPDATE.

I USED TO DO THESE START, I THINK, UP THROUGH 2024 EVERY QUARTER.

AND THEN WE'VE KIND OF GOT AWAY FROM THEM. I'M BACK, SO HOPEFULLY I CAN START GIVING CIP UPDATES.

AND WHAT I TYPICALLY HAVE TRIED TO DO IS JUST HIGHLIGHT.

WE'VE GOT 60, 60, 62 CIP PROJECTS. I DON'T WANT TO BORE YOU WITH ALL OF THOSE.

I USUALLY PICK LIKE THE TOP TEN, 5 TO 10 CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS AND DESIGN PROJECTS AND JUST HIGHLIGHT THOSE.

I HAVE COME UP WITH KIND OF A TEMPLATE SO THEY'LL ALL BE CONSISTENT, BUT EVERY, EVERY SLIDE WILL HAVE A PROJECT NAME, CONSULTANT OR CONTRACTOR'S NAME PHASE CONSTRUCTION OR DESIGN.

AND THEN OUR PROJECT MANAGER DOWN IN THE CORNER.

AND THIS KIND OF GOES BACK TO THE PREVIOUS DISCUSSION WHEN I WAS UP FOR NUMBER 9.

JUST RECALL ON OUR PROJECT BUDGETS, THEY'RE ALL, THESE ARE ALL CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM PROJECTS.

SO THE BUDGET IS SET BY, BY THE CITY COUNCIL AT THE TIME THE CIP IS ADOPTED.

WE CANNOT INCREASE THAT BUDGET UNLESS WE COME BACK.

SO ALL OF THE PROJECTS THAT WE HAVE NOW ARE WITHIN BUDGET.

THEY CANNOT EXCEED BUDGET UNLESS WE COME BACK TO YOU.

AND THEN JUST KIND OF A SHOUT OUT ON THE PROJECT MANAGEMENT.

IT INCLUDES ENGINEERING. WE HAVE A LOT OF THE CIVIL TYPE PROJECTS.

MUNICIPAL SERVICES HAS FOR THE MOST PART, ALL THE MAINTENANCE PROJECTS.

PARKS HAS THE PARKS PROJECT. AND THEN TODD IS OUR CITY MANAGER FOR MOST OF THE BUILDING PROJECTS.

SO A FEW OF THE PROJECTS IN THE CONSTRUCTION PHASE THE AD ASTRA POOL, I THINK YOU ALL KNOW, IT OPENED ON JULY 4TH. I HAD TO INCLUDE THIS PICTURE.

AND I THINK YOU ALL KNOW THE POOL HAD THE ZERO DEPTH ENTRY THE CURRENT CHANNEL.

VERY NICE. I'VE GOT A COUPLE PICTURES HERE. HERE'S A GOOD PICTURE.

I THOUGHT THIS WAS APPROPRIATE. TAKEN BY A DRONE IN THE RAIN, SINCE IT SEEMS LIKE IT RAINED ABOUT EVERY DAY OUT THERE FOR THAT PROJECT.

BUT WE STILL HAVE A FEW PUNCH LIST ITEMS LEFT TO DO, BUT PULLS OPEN AND GOING WELL CLAIRE ROAD ROUNDABOUTS.

CLAIRE ROAD IS CLOSED RIGHT NOW. THERE'S 4 ROUNDABOUTS ON THAT STRETCH.

WE'RE REPLACING ASPHALT WITH CONCRETE. THE FIRST ROUNDABOUTS DONE, THE SECOND ONES ABOUT 50% DONE.

THIS IS THE SECOND ONE HERE. YOU CAN SEE IT'S GETTING CLOSE.

ONCE THAT'S COMPLETE WE'LL SHIFT TO PHASE 2 WHICH WOULD BE DOING THE NORTH TO ROUNDABOUTS.

AND YOU CAN KIND OF SEE IT. THE TRAIL IS NEARING COMPLETION TOO.

THERE'S A NEW 10 FOOT WIDE TRAIL GOING ALONG THIS ENTIRE STRETCH OF ROADWAY.

[00:25:07]

THE FIRST IS ELECTRIC PARK THAT'S BEEN COMPLETED.

THIS PICTURE IS A FEW DAYS OLD, BUT IT'S, IT'S OPEN, LOOKS VERY NICE.

AND THEN WORK ON THE HICKORY RIDGE. IT STARTED ABOUT 2 WEEKS AGO.

IT'S ONGOING. THEY'LL START WITH THE CONCRETE TRAIL REPLACEMENT HERE TODAY OR TOMORROW.

PAVEMENT MANAGEMENT PROGRAM. THE RESIDENTIAL WORK ITSELF, FOR THE MOST PART, IS COMPLETE AND ALL OF THE SUBDIVISIONS, INCLUDING GLEASON ROAD. I THINK THE ONLY [INAUDIBLE] 2 PROJECTS LEFT ARE OAK HILL AND COLONY HILLS, OR THE 2 THAT REMAIN. AND THEN ON OUR CARS, PROJECT SANTA FE TRAIL DRIVE FROM 95TH STREET TO THE SOUTH CITY LIMITS IS SCHEDULED TO BEGIN IN LATE AUGUST.

FLAT ROCK CREEK, IT CLOSED YESTERDAY. AND WITH ALL PROJECTS THAT FIRST DAY OF CLOSURES, WE ALWAYS HAVE SOME, SOME HICCUPS. WE'VE MADE SOME ADJUSTMENTS TO SOME OF THE SIGNAGE, ADDED SOME SIGNAGE, AND WE'LL PROBABLY HAVE TO DO THAT OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS AND NEXT WEEK. AND THEN PEOPLE WILL START GETTING USED TO IT AND UNDERSTAND WHAT ROADS ARE CLOSED AND WHAT CUT THRUS DON'T WORK.

BUT KANSAS GAS AND WATER ONE, THEY NEEDED THE ROAD CLOSED TO FINISH THEIR RELOCATION WORK.

EACH OF THOSE THERE'S ABOUT 2 AND A HALF WEEKS.

SO THAT'S THE FIRST FIVE WEEKS. OUR CONTRACTOR WILL BE DOING A LITTLE BIT OF WORK IN THERE WHILE THEY'RE IN THERE, BUT HE'LL GO FULL BORE ONCE THEY'RE DONE IN ABOUT 5 WEEKS.

TOTAL CLOSURES ESTIMATED ABOUT 4 MONTHS. HOPEFULLY WE CAN GET THAT DONE A LITTLE BIT SOONER.

AND THIS IS JUST A PICTURE UNDER THE CURRENT BRIDGE TO SHOW YOU THE CONDITION OF IT.

AND THEN HERE'S THE EXISTING BRIDGE. WHEN THE NEW BRIDGE IS COMPLETE, IT'S A REINFORCED CONCRETE BOX.

WE'RE REMOVING THE THE BRIDGE ON THE SOUTH SIDE THAT'S ACTUALLY IN OVERLAND PARK.

THE RAILINGS, YOU WON'T SEE THOSE ON THE FUTURE PROJECTS SINCE IT'S A RCB REINFORCED CONCRETE BOX, WE CAN SLOPE THOSE DOWN, HAVE THE SIDEWALKS, SO IT'LL LOOK JUST LIKE A TYPICAL STREET THROUGH THERE AND NOT A BRIDGE WHEN WE'RE COMPLETE. AND OP OVERLAND PARK IS PAYING HALF OF THE PROJECT COST.

WOULD SONIA DRIVE? THIS IS A SPECIAL BENEFIT DISTRICT FROM 86 TO PRAIRIE STAR PHASE 1.

UP BY THE CHURCH FROM 86 TO 87 IS COMPLETE AND OPEN.

THE CONTRACTOR IS USING THAT FOR ACCESS INTO THE APARTMENTS.

PHASE 2. ALL THE CLEARINGS COMPLETE. AND HERE ARE SOME PICTURES GRADINGS OCCURRING.

THEY DID SOME BLASTING LAST WEEK. WE DIDN'T GET ANY CALLS.

I THINK IT WENT REALLY SMOOTH. THAT'S FOR THE WATER LINE GOING IN.

AND FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO USE THE TRAIL, THIS IS THE LITTLE DETENTION AREA.

PRAIRIE STAR PARKWAY IS JUST TO THE SOUTH UP HERE.

THIS IS THE TRAIL THAT GOES ALONG. THIS USED TO BE THAT ROCK FACE THAT WAS ABOUT 30 FOOT TALL.

IT'S GONE. WE'LL END UP PUTTING A NICE. I THINK IT'S ABOUT A 12 TO 15 FOOT RETAINING WALL ALONG THERE OUT OF CONCRETE.

BUT IT LOOKS A LOT DIFFERENT OUT THERE. AND THIS IS JUST TO SHOW THIS IS TURNING AROUND FROM WHERE I'M AT AND LOOKING BACK TO THE NORTH, JUST WHAT THE CUT AND FILLS ARE OUT THERE. WE HAVE SOME 27 FOOT FILLS I THINK OUT THERE.

I MEAN, IT'S, IT'S REALLY HILLY AND I THINK IT'LL BE A BEAUTIFUL ROAD ONCE WE'RE COMPLETE.

AND IT WILL BE JUST A 2 LANE ROAD AND WE'LL HAVE SOME TURN LANES HERE OR THERE, BUT IT'LL BE BASICALLY WHAT YOU SEE ON MONTICELLO, LESS THE ROUNDABOUTS. AND THEN JUST SOME STORMWATER PROJECTS.

89TH TO 90TH TERRACE, JUST WEST OF LACKMAN SOUTH OF THE PICKLEBALL COURTS THERE.

I-SOLUTIONS DOING THE WORK THERE ABOUT 30% COMPLETE.

AND THEN WE COMPLETED THE PINE RIDGE WORK AT 87TH AND BLUE RIDGE, AND THEN THE BRIGHTON SUBDIVISION, WHICH IS UP BY MUNICIPAL SERVICES. WE COMPLETED THAT WORK.

AND I JUST APPRECIATE OUR RESIDENTS. THESE PROJECTS ARE REALLY MESSY.

WE'RE GOING THROUGH PEOPLE'S FRONT YARDS, BACKYARDS, SIDE YARDS, AND THEY'RE MESSY.

AND PEOPLE ARE HAVE BEEN VERY GOOD TO WORK WITH.

YES. BUT I, I, YEAH, THE, THE RESIDENTS ARE VERY PATIENT, BUT I THINK YOUR COMMUNICATION TO THEM HAS ALERTED THEM TO ALL THE CHAOS, IF YOU WILL.

AND SO IT'S A IT'S A 2 WAY STREET THERE. THANK YOU.

DESIGN PHASE PROJECTS. I WANT TO POINT OUT 83RD.

WE HAD THE CONDEMNATION ORDINANCE ON THE CURRENT STATUS IS DESIGNS ONGOING.

WE ARE STILL NEGOTIATING WITH RESIDENTS OUT THERE, UTILITY RELOCATION COORDINATION.

AND THEN YOU MAY SEE SOME PRETTY GOOD SIZE BORING TRUCKS OUT THERE.

WE'RE WORKING ON SEPTIC TANK LOCATIONS AND RELOCATIONS RIGHT NOW WITH SOME PROPERTY OWNERS.

[00:30:04]

BUT THIS IS WHAT'S OUT THERE JUST AT THE INTERSECTION.

THIS IS CLAIRE RIGHT HERE IS WE'VE GOT, I THINK IT'S A 12 INCH WATER LINE.

WE'VE GOT GAS LINES ON BOTH SIDES, WATER LINE CROSSES.

WE'VE GOT A BURIED COMMUNICATION. WE'VE GOT 3 COMMUNICATIONS ON THE POLLS, AND THEN WE'VE GOT ALL THE ELECTRIC POLLS TO RELOCATE.

SO UTILITY RELOCATIONS ARE GOING TO BE SOME WORK WHEN WE GET OUT THERE.

K-10 LONE ELM INTERCHANGE THE KDOT ADMINISTRATION, THEY ARE NEGOTIATING EASEMENTS. ALL THE RIGHT OF WAY WAS ACQUIRED BY THE CITY YEARS AGO, BUT THERE ARE SOME TEMPORARY EASEMENTS THAT THEY'LL NEED.

UTILITY COORDINATION IS UNDERWAY AND AGENT TV CONTINUES TO PERFORM DESIGN SERVICES.

I THINK THE LENEXA TASK ARE THE SCHOOL SAFETY STUDY WE HAD HNTB PERFORM THAT WE WERE TRYING TO WRAP THAT UP.

WE'VE GOT A DRAFT IN AND TRYING TO GET SOME COMMENTS BACK TO THEM AND WRAP THAT UP.

AND THEN AT SOME POINT THIS FALL, WE'LL HAVE TO NEGOTIATE A CITY STATE AGREEMENT.

TIM? TIM. YES. ANY WORD ON HOW OLATHE IS GOING TO CONNECT TO THE INTERCHANGE TO GET A LENEXA CHILDREN OVER TO ALL THOSE SCHOOLS.

WE HAVE NOT SEEN THE PLAN YET, BUT OUR LAST DISCUSSIONS WITH KDOT 2 WEEKS AGO THAT THEY THOUGHT THEY HAD FINALIZED THE AGREEMENT WITH OLATHE AND WOULD HAVE SOMETHING SIGNED VERY SOON. SO WE'LL SEE WHAT THAT DESIGN LOOKS LIKE HOPEFULLY SOON, BUT WE HAVE NOT SEEN IT YET.

MAYOR COUNCIL MEMBERS HAVE BEEN POSTING ABOUT IT. IF YOU GET ON FACEBOOK.

CHECK THAT OUT. YES. OLD TOWN NORTH PARKING LOT.

WE'VE HIRED HD CONSOLE. THEY'RE A SMALLER FIRM HERE IN TOWN.

WE'VE COMPLETED CONCEPTUAL DESIGN. WE HAD THEM PUT TOGETHER 4 OPTIONS.

I BELIEVE THIS IS JUST 1 OF THE 4. WE'VE COMPLETED ALL THE SURVEY WORK.

OUR NEXT STEPS ON THIS IS WE PLAN TO HOLD A PUBLIC MEETING WITH.

I SAY PUBLIC, WE'LL INVITE THE PUBLIC, BUT REALLY, IT'S GOING TO BE WITH THE PROPERTY OWNERS AND THE TENANTS OF ALL THE OLD TOWN SHOPS, AND WE WANT TO SIT DOWN WITH THEM, LAY OUT THE OPTIONS AND SAY, HEY, YOU GUYS WORK HERE, YOU OWN IT.

TELL US WHAT IS GOOD AND BAD. AND THEN ONCE WE'VE DONE THAT, WE'LL GET A RECOMMENDATION PUT TOGETHER AND BRING IT TO THE CITY COUNCIL AND GET YOUR INPUT TO SEE WHAT THOUGHTS YOU MAY HAVE ON THAT.

REAL K-10 CANYON CREEK BOULEVARD. THIS IS JUST A SMALL PROJECT ADDING A LEFT TURN LANE.

I'VE GOT A QUESTION ABOUT OLD TOWN PARKING. YEAH.

IT'S BEEN A KIND OF AN EYESORE FOR YEARS IN OLD TOWN.

THAT AREA THAT'S SOUTH OF THE MIDWEST PHARMACY BUILDING THAT'S OWNED BY HELP ME WITH HIS NAME AUGGIE [INAUDIBLE] AND SO THEY'RE CONCRETE SLABS THERE WITH PIPE STICKING UP. I'M NOT SURE IT'S PRACTICAL, BUT I WOULD LOVE TO SEE THOSE. THAT AREA JUST BE PAVED OVER TEMPORARILY AND STRIPED FOR PARKING.

AND YOU KNOW, WHEN AUGGIE'S READY TO BUILD, YOU KNOW, PEEL THE ASPHALT OFF AND LET HIM BUILD.

BUT I THINK YOU COULD CAP THOSE PIPES AND FILL IN AND MAKE IT LOOK BETTER THAN IT DOES.

THAT'S PRIVATE PROPERTY. I DON'T THINK THAT WE WOULD BE ABLE TO PLACE PARKING ON TOP OF HIS SLAB.

WELL, I DIDN'T SAY PEOPLE HAD TO PARK THERE. I DON'T KNOW.

IT'S JUST IT'S JUST A DAMN EYESORE. AND WE'LL DEFINITELY INCLUDE HIM AS PART OF OUR CONVERSATIONS.

K-10 CANYON CREEK BOULEVARD REALLY JUST IN COORDINATION WITH KDOT ON THIS.

WE'LL ADD A LEFT TURN LANE RIGHT NOW THIS IS JUST 2 LANES ON CANYON CREEK BOULEVARD WILL ADD A LEFT TURN LANE AND THEN ADD A LEFT TURN LANE ONTO THE EXIT RAMP ONTO WESTBOUND. WE'RE NOT PLANNING TO SIGNALIZE IT AT THIS TIME.

WE'LL JUST KEEP MONITORING IT. WE'D LIKE TO NOT HAVE TO, AND HOPEFULLY KDOT DOES SOME WORK AND RECONSTRUCTS THE WHOLE INTERCHANGE BEFORE WE NEED THE SIGNALS. BUT IF NOT, WE MAY HAVE TO DO SOME TEMPORARY SIGNALIZATION.

I'M SORRY. HEY TIM, IS THAT A IS THAT JUST A STRIPING OR ARE WE ADDING A WHOLE.

NO, WE ARE ADDING LANES. WE'RE ADDING CONCRETE OR ASPHALT ON BOTH THE RAMP AND ON CANYON CREEK BOULEVARD.

THANK YOU. YES. THE NEXT PROJECT, 87TH STREET IN THE CIP, IT'S CALLED TRAFFIC SIGNAL SCARBOROUGH, WINCHESTER. WE ARE COMPLETE WITH ALL THE SIGNALS EXCEPT THE SCARBOROUGH.

THIS IS THE PROJECT. IT'S THE PORK CHOP. I DON'T KNOW HOW IT GOT THE NAME, THE PORK CHOP, BUT IT LOOKS LIKE THE PORK CHOP. BUT DESIGNS IN PROGRESS.

AND JUST A REMINDER, WE RECEIVED $1 MILLION IN FEDERAL FUNDS FOR THIS PROJECT.

SO IT'S A 2026 PROJECT. IT'S PROBABLY GOING TO GET BUMPED TO EARLY 2027 JUST DUE TO ALL THE KDOT REVIEWS AND THOSE SORT OF THINGS.

WHAT WE PLAN TO DO IS KIND OF A PASSIVE PARK IN THIS AREA.

AND THEN BUS LANE WHERE THE TEMPORARY BUS PARKING IS ACTUALLY A BUS LANE AND A PERMANENT BUS SHELTER THERE.

WE'RE WORKING ON RIGHT OF WAY NEGOTIATIONS ON THIS PORTION HERE.

AND THEN WE WILL BE BACK AT SOME POINT HERE WHEN WE HAVE A LITTLE MORE INFORMATION AND PROVIDE AN UPDATE TO THE COUNCIL ON WHAT THE FINAL DESIGN WILL BE.

THEN THE CENTRAL GREEN PLAYGROUND THAT BID A WEEK, WEEK AND A HALF AGO, THE LOW BIDDER WAS SANDS CONSTRUCTION.

THAT IS GOING TO COME BACK TO THE COUNCIL ON SEPTEMBER 18TH I BELIEVE FOR A FULL PRESENTATION AND AWARD OF THE CONTRACT, SO LOGAN WILL HAVE MORE INFORMATION IN MORE DETAILS ON THAT.

AND THEN FINALLY, JUST SOME STORMWATER PROJECTS THAT WILL BE KICKING OFF SEVEN HILLS, PHASE 1 AND 2, WHICH IS UP ON THE NORTH SIDE NORTH OF 79TH STREET.

THAT'S OUT FOR BID. THAT'S GOT SOME VERY LARGE PIPES AND RCBS.

AND AGAIN, THROUGH NEIGHBORHOODS, IT'S GOING TO BE A COMPLICATED PROJECT MILLCREEK STORMWATER IMPROVEMENTS AND TURKEY CREEK, THOSE ARE MORE RESIDENTIAL OR MORE COMMERCIAL AREAS KIND OF OUT IN THE OPEN.

BUT THOSE WERE APPROVED FOR, FOR CONSULTANT DESIGN TONIGHT.

THOSE WILL BE 2027 PROJECTS. AND WITH THAT I'D STAND FOR ANY QUESTIONS.

QUESTIONS FOR TIM. AVERY. JUST BY PROCESS, DO WE GET A SIP LIKE REVISED CIP ONCE WE ACTUALLY SAY GET TO LIKE THE BRIDGE? REVISED BUDGET. IS THERE A POINT IN TIME IN WHICH WE REVIEW THAT IF WE.

AND MAY JUMP IN IF I SAY ANYTHING WRONG. BUT TYPICALLY WHAT WE WOULD DO IS, IS IF WE BID IT AND WE DIDN'T HAVE SUFFICIENT BUDGET, WE WOULD EITHER REJECT THE BIDS OR BRING IT TO THE COUNCIL AWARD THE CONTRACT WITH THE CIP AMENDMENT AT THAT TIME.

SO YOU WOULD AMEND THE WHOLE CIP TO INCLUDE THAT.

OKAY. GOT IT. SO IT'S JUST AN AMENDMENT. IT'S NOT LIKE REDOING A FULL CIP TO THAT WHOLE PROCESS THAT WE'VE ALREADY DONE.

NO. OKAY. IT WOULD BE JUST THE AMENDMENT, JUST MAKING SURE. AND WHAT WE TRY TO DO AS STAFF, IF WE CAN, IS IF WE KNOW WE'RE GOING TO HAVE SOMETHING LIKE THAT, TRY TO PUSH IT UNTIL WE GET TO THE CIP DISCUSSIONS AND THEN JUST INCLUDE IT AS PART OF THE NEXT YEAR, CIP AND IT JUST TAKES A STEP OUT. BUT YES, WE WOULD BRING AN AMENDMENT BACK TO YOU.

OKAY. AND SO TO THAT END, JUST BASED ON HOW THINGS ARE GOING, IT SOUNDS LIKE MAYBE THAT'S THE ONLY ONE THAT MAYBE IS A YELLOW FLAG WITH POTENTIAL FOR AMENDMENT. THAT'S THE ONLY ONE I'M AWARE OF. OKAY.

CORRECT. JUST MAKING SURE THAT DISCUSSION IN OCTOBER. YEAH.

OKAY. PERFECT. THANK YOU. COOL. IT'S A GOOD UPDATE.

THANK YOU. OKAY. THANK YOU. ANYTIME WE HAVE STUDENTS IN THE AUDIENCE, WE LIKE TO SAY HELLO.

HAVE YOU INTRODUCE YOURSELVES? MAYBE TELL US WHAT BRINGS YOU OUT TONIGHT? CERTAINLY DURING YOUR SUMMER VACATION. JUST STAND UP.

YEAH. WHAT'S YOUR NAME? WHERE DO YOU GO TO SCHOOL? WHAT BRINGS YOU OUT TONIGHT? MY NAME IS I'M GOING INTO 7TH GRADE. I'M GOING TO TRAIL RIDGE ELEMENTARY.

OKAY. AND I CAME HERE TODAY TO ASK YOU GUYS TO LEGALIZE HAVING BACKYARD CHICKENS.

OKAY, LET'S HOLD THAT FOR PUBLIC COMMENT SO WE CAN GET YOU DOWN HERE ON THE MICROPHONE.

JUST GIVE US ONE SECOND. OKAY. THIS DOES END THE RECORDED PORTION OF THE MEETING.
