Minn. 4/17/07
Frank Weatherford, Frank Weatherford, TranSystems spoke to the boazd regarding the Horizons project.
TranSystems, With Horizons Parkway north, we need to move forward and this requires crossing
the Rinker property and a potential agreement has been presented. The City wants
an environmental assessment of that property, i.e. Phase I and Phase II. There is a thirty
day window that is part of the agreement. To do this, TranSystems provided a proposal
to the City that has been presented to the boazd tonight in the amount of $25,222.
Alderman Super asked Frank why they were going out of town for consultants.
Frank said because of the need to get done in that 30 day window. Alderman
Super also asked if they would use Kingston/Pace as asub-contractor and Frank said,
"Yes." Mayor Rose asked why there is a 30 day window. Frank said so they can move
ahead quickly so Rinker has time to "get out of the way." The way it looks now, they
would bid the project in late `07 and start construction in April 1, 2008. Frank said the
fee proposed is based on the '07 standard hourly rates.
Frank spoke to the board about the "hom test study" at the Mattox Road and Argosy
Pazkway BNSF crossings. Frank had a rough number of the study; Argosy Pazkway
location 295' north of crossing the decibel reading was 83 for the static horn and 97-101
for the live train. At the Argosy hotel, it was 71 decibels for the static horn and 82 for
the train decibels. At Mattox Road, it was 80 decibels for the static horn and 101 decibels
for the train. It was a general agreement with everyone present that the static horn created
less noise.
Besides Riverside, people were present from Parkville, Argosy and Intercontinental.
Frank will prepare a final report to the Master Plan team on Apri127a' and receive their
comments and bring this back to the board of aldermen. Frank said there are 4 public
grade crossings and 2 private crossings inside the city limits. Frank said he thinks 2 or 3
of the crossings can be eliminated, Vandepopulier, Tullison and Argosy Parkway (if
something was worked out) for the Argosy Pazkway crossing. Each one will be looked at
independently with the "Quiet Zone Study".
Frank spoke about the Vivion Road study. MoDot had worked out differences on the
funding which means Gladstone, Kansas City and Riverside have an agreement with
MoDot to provide funds to MoDot to do the study. Frank is thinking it might be about
30 days for them to execute the contract before starting on this project.
Frank said he understands there is a lot of concerns with pedestrian safety at the Line
Creek Bridge. It is Frank's understanding the City would like to move forward in
conjunction with the study to replace the bridge that would have the appropriate width
with 4 lanes. A proposal has been prepazed to do the engineering.
Mayor Rose said the bridge is defmitely a safety issue. Brent said STP funding has been
been applied for through MARC. Alderman Super said this is State and Federal
highway and the City doesn`t have control over and this should be a thought before
designing starts. Frank said the final decision for the STP funding is in July.
Finance Officer Donna Resz gave the board the 3rd quarter fmancial report update. Donna said she
presentation was going over revenues, expenditures, budget update, the budget amendment, computer
equipment, purchasing cazds and disposal of capital equipment. Donna said the gaming
revenue remains strong at $670,000 over previous year's collections for the same time
period. The final Argosy lease payment will be reduced by $227,000 to reimburse
Argosy for the construction of the pazking lot per our agreement with them.
Sales and Use tax are forecasted to increase and the interest revenues about $600,000.
Investments are laddered so we may have money coming due every month.
Last year the total revenues were 16.8 million dollars, including the one million grant
Mins. 4/17/07
reimbursement for Gateway. Donna spoke about expenditures stating the City can
establish budgetary level control on 4 different levels and the entity level is one.
The General Fund, or the Capital Improvement and Capital Equipment Fund, an
individual group, is another and state law requires that at least, the board pay attention to
this level. Donna's recommendation is for Police, Administration and Fire expenditures
to be approved by the City Administrator and then reported to the board.
For the account level, it is suggested these expenditures to be approved by the department
head.
Donna distributed budget reports and went over the highlights and what she saw as large
variances. Legal fees are now being charged to projects. Donna went on to explain the
extra chazges for professional fees stating we now have a contract employee as a City
Engineer. The IJDO cost $50,000, this being more than anticipated. Municipal Court is
going to be about $7,000 (forecasted) over budget because of prisoner expense. Police
overtime is significantly over budget, but under salaries Donna is forecasting these to
be under budget. Building maintenance is forecasted to be about $10,000 over budget and
uniforms to be over budget. Communications is forecasted to be slightly under budget
as they have a very significant area in overtime. Fire is going to be under budget
and this is because we have not hired a Fire Marshal and there is not a lot of variance.
Public Works is slated to be significantly under budget. An estimate for Parks is they
are going to be under budget. The Community Center and pool is now under budget.
Planning and Economic Development's forecast is to be right on target. The computer
equipment budget is over. Donna went on to explain all the extra expenditures for
this one thing and saying budgeting was not adequately done for the Police Incode.
Donna is asking for more detailed invoices from our IT person, Eddie Seaholtz with E-
Net.
Mayor Rose asked why we aze asking for so many things all at once and why they
can't be spread out to the next budget year and if all these additions aze really needed or
just wanted. Mayor Rose said people need to be thoughtful of whether something is
actually needed or not and just because there is something new does not warrant it to be
purchased. Donna agreed it is something that should be diligently monitored. Donna
went on to explain all the different additions and amounts for these purchases. Alderman
Bruns asked about maintenance fees and upgrade costs for the computers and Donna
answered $40-50,000 for the year.
David explained some of these purchases is to tie the accounting together and to make
accountability to the board of aldermen which we've not had before, in some areas. This
was the whole goal for the Incode system. They are trying to comply with the
Aldermen's request asking if we have a handle on our assets and this will give
accountability with the reports.
With all of this said, Donna is requesting an amendment to the capital equipment budget
and state law requires it.
Donna went over the Purchasing Card Program explaining charges and any returns.
Donna talked about disposal of capital equipment and some larger items. There is
a stock of used computer equipment and/or office equipment that is outdated and
staff has given some consideration to this. The idea is to get our IT person, Eddie
to verify there isn't any usable parts on the equipment and to destroy the hazd
drives from the computers. Possibly, another small municipality could use these or
donate it to someone like "Surplus Exchange" or others. Most of Public Works
items do have residual value and the city could sell it. A list of this equipment would be
brought to the board before any equipment is disposed of.

Sabin Yanzez, Cook, Sabin Yanez, Cook, Flatt & Strobel provided the board with a proposal for construction
Flatt & Strobel pre- observation services for the Horizons Pazkway South project. The pre-construction
sentation meeting is scheduled for Thursday morning at 10:00 a.m.
City Engineer Update Mike Duffy gave a report on the sewer line on Riverside Street stating SKW thought the
solution for the problem was to sepazate the 2 lines that come together between the two
buildings and run them across the street sepazated and tie into an existing sanitary sewer
line on the east side of Riverside Street. Also, a power line pole is going to have to be
braced. Another thing that is being looked at is repairing the existing 8" clay line. There
is a question as to whether it is a public or private line. When Riverside Street, was
constructed about 8 years ago, the contractors didn't know the line was there and curb
inlets was placed over it causing some breakage of the line.
SKW is thinking of expanding some of the excavation on the west side, cut the line off to
give some room to hold insituform to create a seamless fit and keep it as a line outside of
the system until sometime in the future there is a need for a more thorough fix. There is a
series of breaks all across Riverside Street. Two businesses tie in together to the 8"
service line and eventually needs to be sepazated.
Water Line Study A proposal was submitted for a water line study. Upon occasion, SKE has asked for
Update flow data information from for the hydrants from Missouri American Water Company.
They cannot give information for the entire system, only certain points. The proposal
will allow working with Mo. Amer. Water Co. and to map the system. Mo. Amer.
Water Co. has information digitally, but SKW has not been successful in getting the
information. Mo. American Water Co. is going to try to get a new line through the City
to connect to Kansas City, Missouri. Mo. Amer. Water Co. wants to bring a 24" line
through town and neck down to a 16" line. This is really meant as a transmission to
provide water back to the Parkville plant and will give the City more pressure but again,
it's really meant as transmission.
