Jack Reece, 2412 Keystone Drive, Blue Springs, MO explained to the Mayor and Board his bill for $985.00. He said Fred McDaniel contacted him the latter part of 1988 to come and talk to him regarding the City's Communication System and possibly design a system for the City. Reece came and had a meeting with Fred McDaniel and tried to find out what he wanted to accomplish and expressed his concern the way the system had been mixed and put together over the years. Throughout the course of numerous meetings, Fred McDaniel requested him to design a system not only for the City but for one to reach to Platte City. In Feb. or March of this year, Reece presented him with an actual specification sheet which showed, the actual type of equipment that would be needed for what McDaniel told him. Reece said that Karr was at one or two of these meetings. Mr. Reece said that McDaniel did purchase some equipment from him. Mr. Reece said that they actually performed the services under the pretense that Fred McDaniel said that one of these days the City was going to get bids on the new equipment and Mr. Reece could bid on it. Fred McDaniel used the information Mr. Reece had given him to obtain bids on the equipment. Mr. Reece said he did not know McDaniel was getting bids, he found out about the bids when the Mayor called him concerning the bill. Mr. Reece said had he been able to bid on the equipment and was awarded the bid, the $985.00 would have been deducted from the bid. Mayor Burch said she had tried to call Fred McDaniel to ask him about this matter, however, he has not returned her call. A discussion was had concerning this matter. Karr moved that we pay the bill for $985.00, seconded by Kuhlman, the vote was as follows: Shepard, Teters, Kuhlman and Karr voted yes; Richardson and Rule voted no. Pat McCole, E. T. Archer's Project Engineer, 8012 N.W. Mace Road, parkville, Missouri presented to the Mayor and Board two proposed sewer plans and explained each. One, Alternate A, was a plan with the lift station at South and Hillside and Alternate B was the plan with gravity flow, New Force Mains and a Pump Station. He said that if Alternate B was chosen, this would probably save considerable money. He thought the cost would be $252,000. McCole said he has talked to the Kansas City People and they are willing to cooperate with Riverside. r MIn. of Reg. Meeting Page 3, 10-3-89 The Director of Water Pollution Department talked very favorable of participating on certain portions of the project on a 50/50 basis to provide from the Riverside Force Main to Kansas City Force Main to Line Creek Pump Station. This would be sufficient for the City at this time and would allow for considerable growth. Riverside would be responsible to construct and maintain the pump station interceptor. Mr. McCole said the Kansas City people were very cooperative and said they want to do everything they can to help Riverside. Another thing which has to be done is to negotiate with Missouri Cities Water Company concerning the Ridgewood Sewage. If the City decided on Alternate B it would cost them 50$ of the cost for improving Burlington Creek force main and additional Engineering fee plus the cost for the additional interceptor sewer. Mr. McCole said he thought Kansas City would share in the engineering expense. Also if Alternate B is chosen, they would have to get some Aero photographs which would cost about $5,000. All of these costs, including the photos, and engineering would be included in the $252,000. Mr. McCole and Mayor Burch felt very positive about the City getting 1/2 million-dollar grant and could possible get one million million. Mr. McCole said that they hoped to complete the design by the end of November and get approval in 30 days and by the end of January they could go out for bids on the project and possibly start in March. Karr moved that the City accept Alternate B on the sewers as presented by Mr. McCole, seconded by Rule, the vote was as follows: Shepard, Rule, Teters, Karr and Kuhlman voted yes, Richardson voted No. Mr. McCole wanted authority to go with the preliminary to final design and continue with Alternate B. However, the Mayor and Board wanted to see the drawings and said that they would call a meeting for next Tuesday, October 10, 1989 at 7:30 p.m. to go over these drawings. Don Jack, 6500 Melody Lane, Parkville, MO Engineer for Twin Traffic Marking inquired as to whether or now he could get permission for fill on his client's property south of MOKan Container on VanDePopulier road. Mayor Burch read a letter from the City Engineer, Ken Vaughn, of Larkin and Associates. Mr. Jack said he was willing to do as the City Engineer requested. Mr. Jack said that now he will build a swell so that the water cannot run on the Coleman's property and will make it flow toward VanDePopulier Road and that they now want to fill 3'3" on the area where the building will be constructed. t Min. of Reg. Meeting Page 4, 10-3-89 Richardson moved that the City approve the fill, subject to the approval by the City Engineer, seconded by Kuhlman, the vote was as follows: Teters and Rule, no; Karr, Kuhlman, Shepard and Richardson, yes.
