Those present were Burch, Karr, Wedua, and Shepard were present, Kuhlman absent for roll call and Eckard absent. Mayor Betty Burch called said meeting to order. It was decided to dispense with the reading of the minutes of November 15, 1988 and November 29, 1988 for the present time. Gary Simmons, Route #4, Richmond, Missouri, presented plans for the Sonic building at Northwest Gateway and Northwest Vivion. These were different from the previous plans, in fact almost completely new plans. These plans were discussed and it was brought out by Mr. Simmons that he would like to start the building as soon as the plans are approved by the City. He has a completion date of sometime in February, should weather permit. Mr. Simmons said the reason he brought the plans before the Board was to see if he missed anything which would delay the plans. It appeared that he had a complete set of plans, except for the fact that the front of the building was not of brick or masonry and he would have to go before the Board of Zoning Ad3ustment for approval of his plans as is. He will proceed to the Planning Commission and have the plans sent to the City Engineer for ~, approval. Attorney Preston Williams, representing Mike O'Dell of Holiday Sand and Gravel Company were present to talk about the screening he plans to do at the location he plans to build the sand and gravel piles. This is north of the railroad tracks and east of line creek. He said that he would pave to City specifications Tillison Road (that portion he will use) and Zeke Road (that portion he will use). He said the office building will be one foot above the 100 year flood. He said he plans to plant 77 trees, scotch pines and white ash. Approximately one third of the trees will be 15 feet and the other from 5 to 10 feet. It was suggested by the Board that all the trees be of scotch pine of an evergreen tree which does not lose the leaves in the fall. Mr. O'Dell said this would be no problem. He said he planned to have a holding tank for his sanitary sewers. However, this would have to be approved by the County Health Department. Fred McDaniel is to call Dave Williams of Missouri Cities Water Company concerning water in the area and Mr. O'Dell will bring water in the area and would then provide necessary fire hydrant at this location. Preston Williams will talk to FEMA concerning this business and report back. Fred Wilkins presented the figures on the Architect's service for the new storage building. It appeared that there was no certainty as to the property lines and it was felt this should be checked into before anything further was approved. Mr. Witt is present this portion of meeting. t Min of reg. meeting. Page 2, 12-6-88 Jeff Sharp of Zahner & Co. spoke to the Mayor and Board concerning revenue bonds on the proposed sewer project. He said they have been in business for over 40 years and in the states of Missouri, Kansas and New Mexico. He said they have done work for Cities, Hospitals, Schools, etc. They have lowered their price to $14.90 per thousand. He said the Missouri State Revolving Fund has replaced the grant funds. He felt that this fund (at least the quota for this year) would be spent before April, 1989. He also thought we probably would not be able to get this Fund because of others who are in line for it. He also said that should be qualify and receive the Revolving Fund, that his percent would go down considerably. He said he understood we would be able to get federal funds on account of the low income families. He said he would appreciate their company getting the project; that they do their own printing of the brochures informing the residents of this pro3ect and selling the sewer system to them. He said they have always been successful in this and whoever gets the pro3ect, they will have to work fast to get the project on the ballots in April, 1989. The City will notify Mr. Sharp as to whom was given the bid. Greg Bricker of George Baum & Co. spoke to the Mayor and Board concerning their desire to get this project and would help the City in every way it could. He spoke concerning the Missouri State Revolving Fund and thought that we may have a chance to get some funding this way. He too said that he understood that we would be eligible for a grant due to the low income residents in certain areas. He said that he was well acquainted with E. T. Archer and that he has a lot of contacts in Jefferson City, should it be necessary to contact people in the Capitol. He said he would help with the applying for any grants. He said should we qualify and get the Revolving Fund that he would not charge any percentage because they are connected with this group. Mr. Bricker said that they will also do all the selling of the project to the residents and it would have to start immediately due to the short time before the election in April, 1989. He said they could not go lower than $16.50 per thousand. Mr. Bricker would be notified as to whom was given the bid. The Mayor and Board discussed the proposals of Zahner and Baum. After hearing the proposals of Zahner and Baum and studying them, Wedua moved that the City accept the proposal of Baum and sign the contract, seconded by Karr, a vote was called for and Burch, Kuhlman, Karr, Wedua and Shepard voted aye; Eckard absent.
