Motion carries. Pictometry Aerial Mike said that the staff is recommending the City purchase aerial photography Photography from Pictometry International Corporation as a base map for the City's GIS system. This photography is geo-referenced which allows staff to perform a variety of analytical functions for long-range planning. The photography is also fully compatible with ArcView GIS, the industry standard for GIS applications. By contracting now to acquire three flights over the next six years, the City locks in a favorable price and will ensure that we can have the latest data available as development occurs throughout the City. Payment is only made for a flight in the yeaz that the photography occurs. Five people at City Hall would be able to use this with one license. Pictometry will fly a 46 square mile area that does every piece of ground in our City and 1 mile east of our city limits, downtown Pazkville west, 1 mile south of the City and almost up to 152 Highway. The fast flight would take place this spring and a flight every other yeaz for 6 years, for 3 flights total. Mike said this can be a base for the use ArcView's GIS platform and ArcView does allow for the insertion of photography, street level photography and in-building photography and also ask for the insertion of building plans. The cost for this is $66,098.75 and 1 yeaz is $25,082.50. We pay almost one-sixth a year. The first year we pay $25,000, Mins. 12/15/09 $12,500 when they deliver the photography this spring and pay $12,500 the following spring. The second flight is $22,000 approximately and we pay $11,000 on delivery of that photography. Mike said he could ask if they could do the flights in a 3-4 yeaz period, but they typically fly every 2 years with the exchange in there. Or, we could ask if they could do a flight in yeaz 1 and then again in yeaz five because it might coincide as to what Overland Pazk is doing. This offer is good through December of this year. This expenditure falls in the GIS budget. Master Plan Update Rachel from Berkebile Nelson Immeschuh McDowell Architects was present to update the boazd on the master plan schedule. Right now they are at a `juncture point' where everything under the sun is on the table for the City and getting ready to wrap this up to the concept planning. They've been working with the planning group on various topics to discuss at the first community meeting. They've covered natural systems plus open space, talked about a vision and started to develop ideas on that, moving into concept planning and documentation. The plan will be presented to the community and feed back collected from the community. They met with HDR and city engineers for a meeting and also met with Brian Devaz from Chicago that specializes in looking at the systems to consider some opportunities, especially for Line Creek. The process will be started for cazbon inventory. It is important to start thinking about mile stones in the future. A digital 3-d model of the City has been created and the model will be cut up into pieces and engage into a schedule for the 3 different pieces for their designers and invite city staff to see this for the 3 primary planned azeas, Horizons, downtown and sustainability to develop some rough scenarios from the feedback obtained to bring to the community January 25`". They have been working with Trozzolo exchanging information from certain groups and working with the stakeholders. There will be a presentation and present the vision for the master plan and move into the primary areas. BNIM will be at the City on Friday and discuss economic development. Economic Development The Economic Development policy draft was distributed and the boazd was Update asked to review it and if there is any comments to let Mike Duffy know. Mike has some additional information to add to this and will get it to the board. Line Creek Degradation Mike Duffy said large piles of rock have been placed by E.H. Young Park on the west side of the road between the road and the creek that is raw material used to create a working platform for the Corps of Engineers and their contractors to begin the repay on Line Creek. It has been discussed and only a temporary construction easement will probably be needed. The construction platform will be completed this month and bring in new rock in January and that material will be used to actually do the improvements to the creek. From March 1~` to April 1$` they will put the site back the way it was previously. There will be quite a bit of activity there to repair the west bank of Line Creek. Argosy North Update Travis said the Argosy north project has started and they have a progress meeting starting tomorrow at 2 p.m. Kansas City Power is in line for the distribution line and probably start next week. They've coordinated with the levee district and Corps of Engineers and have agreed on a phase approach. Final plans aren't available at this time, but dirt should start moving next week. Northwood Road Bids Bids were taken on December 9'~ to remove the trees within the existing right- of-way in anticipation of all the utilities to be relocated. The low bidder was VF Anderson Builders for $31,640 and their references were checked and they Mins. 12/15/09 '~ were fine. Alderman Super asked for a picture of the work to be done. Mike said he will send out something, but the majority of the work will be on the west side of Northwood Road from Ridgewood south about 1,000 feet as that is where the majority of the material is, but a little bit on the east side, very minimal. Chief Mills Public Safety is revising all of their statistical reporting systems January 1 ~` and Comments will be able to extend their data on reporting in all areas including animal control. A bill is in the packet for TUSA & Associates, the consultants for the radio project for Public Safety and this contract tonight is for the project management on the radio system itself. An a-mail was sent to the board about an opportunity that came forward in negotiating the contract with Motorola. Chief Mills has been told this proposal tonight will not be available as of January 1, 2010 as he said we are a product as to the end of year quota needs. He is only assuming this is true with the assumption to what Motorola is saying. We do know if our radio system is going to plug into the regional platforms that are in place with Kansas City, Independence and Johnson County it will be a Motorola system. None of them will allow any other vendor to plug into that system. The contract came in six percent under budget. The incentive that came in this year was 14% under budget, one-half million dollars. There is nothing in the contract that would change from 2009 to 2010 except the price. We believe this should be ready to go on to the December 22°d agenda providing the board agrees. There is no option to take the tower out of the contract. Motorola says from an engineering standpoint, there could not be a better place for the tower as the tower is right where it needs to be for signal clarity and the only thing that needs to change is the height. Chief Mills said they are spending a huge amount of time trying to meet this deadline. The board was polled to give the Chief direction to move forward with the Motorola radio system and the vote was: Aye: Alderman Cope, Bruns, Hurt and Thatcher. No: Alderman Fuller. Abstain: Alderman Super. Motion carries. Fleet Disposal Update Tom said Public Safety is ready to dispose of certain vehicles and have been contacted by several local jurisdictions. All of the Platte County jurisdictions were notified of the disposal of the vehicles.

The agreement will state what is expected on both sides for all the issues pending.
