BILL NO. 2007-40 [Resolution No. R9-4-556]
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF KIRKSVILLE, MISSOURI, AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO ENTER INTO AN AGREEMENT WITH CARLSON GARDNER PROPERTIES FOR THE TRANSFER OF LAND ADJACENT TO TRAVELER’S SQUARE
WHEREAS, the Kirksville City Council has supported the efforts of Carlson Gardner in their attempts to attain State tax credits to refurbish the Traveler’s Hotel property in Downtown Kirksville; and
WHEREAS, the City has been determined to own a piece of property adjacent to the Traveler’s Hotel property and known as:
the parcel contiguous to and directly west of the Traveler’s Hotel, 301 West Washington, Kirksville, Missouri, and bound to the north by Washington Street, to the east by the Traveler’s Hotel, to the south by a city alley and to the west by a railroad right-of-way; and
WHEREAS, this property is property that Carlson Gardner would use to build an expanded parking area for its tenants; and
WHEREAS, Carlson Gardner desires to improve the parking area for the property and adhere to the City’s design guidelines for Downtown parking lots; and
WHEREAS, Carlson Gardner is under tight time restraints to complete these transactions to meet the State’s revised deadline for the tax credit programs;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the City Council authorizes the City Manager and to proceed with the execution of any legal documents on the transfer to said property, as described above.
Council Member Rodgerson moved to approve Bill No. 2007-40; seconded by Council Member Mayer.
Assistant City Manager, Kris McKim, stated that research being done by the abstract company working for Carlson Gardner found that the City owned the strip of property adjacent to the existing parking lot. Carlson Gardner had anticipated expanding and beautifying their parking, putting in some perimeter landscaping, etc. McKim said it was Carlson Gardner’s desire to have that piece of property, and that there is an agreement draft attached. McKim stated that the resolution allows the manager to work out the details with Carlson Gardner. McKim said that Carson Gardner is under a tight deadline and has to have their information to the State by October 1, 2007 for their tax credits. McKim stated that they are trying to get all of the details taken care of before that deadline.
Manager Macomber said that the motion presented to the Council says “…authorizing the city manager to enter into an agreement with Carlson Gardner…” and that Carlson Gardner has drafted an agreement. Macomber stated that she would like to meet with the City Attorney, Howard Hickman, because one of the components in the agreement is that Carlson Gardner makes improvements to the parking area as previously discussed. Macomber wants to make sure that it’s clear how that work is to be done, and to make sure the City is covered in all aspects when the property is transferred through a Quit Claim Deed.
Council Member Mayer asked if the resolution is approved whether or not the issue would be brought back to the Council.
Macomber stated that she could bring it back to the Council, but that the Council had in their hands an agreement that was approved by Carlson Gardner. Macomber said that she just wanted Hickman to review it with her to make sure the agreement met the requirements from the City’s legal standpoint. Macomber said that she had not anticipated bringing it back. Macomber stated that due to the timing she and Hickman had just not had time to review it in depth, but that the main body of the agreement was there. Macomber stated that the City would be giving them the parking lot in return for Carlson Gardner making improvements, and that there would be nothing else the City would have to do. Macomber said that we cannot give them clear title, so the City just needs to make sure the transfer is written correctly.
Hickman stated that the contract would need to be changed from the City’s standpoint in respect to the way the title is conveyed by general warranty deed. Hickman said to his understanding the City did not get an actual deed to the property, but acquired it through abandonment of railway right of way. This would mean that the property would only be conveyed by quit claim deed instead of warranty deed. Hickman wanted to make sure that Carlson Gardner’s obligation to make the improvements was outlined as well. Hickman said that if problems arose the item would be brought back to the Council, but he does not foresee any.
The motion carried by the following vote: Mayor Newton – aye; Council Members: Mayer – aye; McCord – aye; Rodgerson – aye; Rowe – aye. Nays – none.
BILL NO. 2007-41 [ORDINANCE NO. 11807]
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF KIRKSVILLE, MISSOURI, AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR TO EXECUTE A CONTRACT BETWEEN THE CITY OF KIRKSVILLE AND THE MISSOURI HIGHWAYS AND TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION FOR TRANSPORTATION ENHANCEMENT FUNDS.
Council Member Mayer moved to approve Bill No. 2007-41; seconded by Council Member Rodgerson.
McKim stated that the City applied for a MoDOT Enhancement Grant in May 2007, to do a sidewalk connectivity project. The Grant was approved and the City attended the mandatory meeting as part of the process, and now the City is presenting the agreement to the Council so that funds can be awarded. McKim stated that the City will receive $228,834 dollars, requiring a twenty percent match from the City of $66,602.
Mayor Newton asked if the matching money was already budgeted.
McKim stated that it will be budgeted for fiscal year 2008. McKim said that the project is anticipated to be completed in 2008, but that the City is allowed a generous timeline in case of obstacles. The total cost of the project is $295,000, and the City will pay back twenty percent.
The motion carried by the following vote: Mayor Newton – aye; Council Members: Mayer – aye; McCord – aye; Rodgerson – aye; Rowe – aye. Nays – none.
BILL NO 2007-42 [Ordinance No. 11808]
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF KIRKSVILLE, MISSOURI, APPROVING A LOT SPLIT OF A TRACT OF LAND SITUATED IN THE SOUTHEAST QUARTER OF SECTION 17, TOWNSHIP 62 NORTH, RANGE 15 WEST, OF KIRKSVILLE, MISSOURI, OTHERWISE KNOWN AS 810 W. SHEPHERD AVENUE.
Council Member Rodgerson moved to approve Bill No. 2007-42; seconded by Council Member Rowe.
Code Administrator, Brad Selby, stated that this lot split is very straight forward lot split. Selby said that Steve Taylor is a developer and owns a tract of land at 810 W. Shepherd where he intends to build single-family homes. The lot conforms to subdivision and zoning ordinances, and there would be no City monies expended. Therefore, the City Staff recommended its approval.
The motion carried by the following vote: Mayor Newton – aye; Council Members: Mayer – aye; McCord – aye; Rodgerson – aye; Rowe – aye. Nays – none.
BILL NO 2007-43 [Ordinance No. 11809]
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF KIRKSVILLE, MISSOURI, APPROVING A MINOR SUBDIVISION OF PART OF LOTS 2 AND 3 IN THE NORTHWEST QUARTER OF SECTION 3, TOWNSHIP 62 NORTH, RANGE 15 WEST, CITY OF KIRKSVILLE, AND OTHERWISE KNOWN AS 1502 E. NORTHTOWN ROAD, AND THE DEDICATION OF A NEW CITY STREET, PULLIAM LANE.
Council Member Rowe moved to approve Bill No. 2007-43; seconded by Council Member McCord.
Selby explained that this property is owned by Don and Loretta Maples. The Maples’ own a large tract of land at the end of Northtown Road, and they would like to subdivide their property into four tracts of land. Selby stated that access to the property was a problem, but the City found that there is a County road that had not been recognized as such when the property was annexed. The County informed the City that the road had been accepted by the County as a street and upon annexation by the City, it became a City street. Selby said that the street has been given the name of Pulliam Lane. Selby stated that Pulliam Lane is a rock street that the staff does not anticipate improvements to the street other than a stop sign and a street sign. Selby said that the subdivision of the land required there be a City street on one side of each lot for frontage. If the Council accepts the proposal there will now be frontage on this City street. Hard surface went to the point of the last house, and did not extend to property line. Selby pointed out the recommendations in the ordinance and on the plat for lots two and four, and said the Staff recommended the approval of the lot split and the acceptance of Pulliam Lane.
Council Member Mayer asked if the property owners surrounding the lot have an issue with the split.
City Manager Macomber stated that a public hearing was not required for this lot split, and that the owners had met the regulations and requirements.
The motion carried by the following vote: Mayor Newton – aye; Council Members: Mayer – aye; McCord – aye; Rodgerson – aye; Rowe – aye. Nays – none.
BILL NO. 2007-44 [Ordinance No. 11810]
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF KIRKSVILLE, MISSOURI, APPROVING A LOT SPLIT OF PART OF THE NW ¼, NE1/4, SEC. 10, T62N, R15W, OF THE CITY OF KIRKSVILLE, MISSOURI, IN OR NEAR THE 1700 BLOCK OF E. ILLINOIS STREET.
Council Member Rodgerson moved to approve Bill No. 2007-44; seconded by Council Member Mayer.
Selby explained that this tract of land is just east of the Ameren UE Substation on Highway 11 East. Selby said that this lot belongs to Samuel and Maureen Pfeiffer. Selby stated that the Pfeiffer’s have been asked by Ameren UE to sell a little over an acre of land so that Ameren can expand and improve the substation. Selby said it is a straight forward lot split, and no other City services will be needed.
The motion carried by the following vote: Mayor Newton – aye; Council Members: Mayer – aye; McCord – aye; Rodgerson – aye; Rowe – aye. Nays – none.
Naegler Oil Co. Agreement
Council Member Mayer moved to approve the City to enter into an agreement for the purchase of fuel for the Kirksville Regional Airport from Naegler Oil Co. Inc. (Naegler Oil); seconded by Council Member McCord.
Finance Director, Laura Guy, explained that this agreement is for the purchase of Airport fuel. Guy said that Naefler Oil is a Connoco Phillips approved supplier out of Springfield, MO. Guy said that she believes they have been timely and that the City has had good luck with the fuel that they have delivered so far. Guy recommended approval
Macomber advised the Council that the City had no prior agreement and that it would be good to protect the City if payments are not made in a timely manner.
The motion carried by the following vote: Mayor Newton – aye; Council Members: Mayer – aye; McCord – aye; Rodgerson – aye; Rowe – aye. Nays – none.
Jefferson Street Improvements—Agreement
Council Member McCord moved to authorize the City Manager to sign an agreement with Trabue, Hansen, & Hinshaw, Inc., of Columbia, Missouri for professional design services for Jefferson Street Improvements; seconded by Council Member Rodgerson.
Public Works Director, John Buckwalter, stated that the agreement would have Trabue, Hansen, & Hinshaw prepare the preliminary plans, final plans and the bidding documents for the improvements to Jefferson Street. Buckwalter stated that the City interviewed four firms, and that out of the seven applicants that submitted proposals for the job the Staff believed TH&H was the best qualified firm for this job. Buckwalter pointed out that this firm has had a good track record with City over the years. Buckwalter said that the proposed cost of the contract would be a sum not to exceed $35,628, and that it would be paid jointly by the Transportation Sales Tax Fund and the Downtown TIF. Buckwalter stated that TH&H are prepared to begin work as soon as the agreement is approved.
Macomber asked if Buckwalter had spoken with TH&H regarding the changes the Council discussed on Elson Street.
Buckwalter said that yes he had already spoken with them.
Council Member Rodgerson inquired as to how long the planning phase will last.
Buckwalter stated that the staff expects to have the plan’s final design completed by the end of the year, and have it reviewed and ready to bid by February to start work in April.
The motion carried by the following vote: Mayor Newton – aye; Council Members: Mayer – aye; McCord – aye; Rodgerson – aye; Rowe – aye. Nays – none.
Council Member Rowe moved to approve a change order to the agreement with W.L. Miller Company, Inc., Hamilton, Illinois in the amount of $89,728.89 for the reconstruction of Osteopathy Street; seconded by Council Member Mayer.
John Buckwalter said that the Osteopathy Street Project is nearing completion, and that there are some changes that need to be made to the Project. Some have been made and the City now needs the Council’s approval to pay for them. Buckwalter explained that there was approximately three hundred feet of the project that the City had anticipated milling and overlaying it, but when they got into that section they found the base was not satisfactory. Buckwalter said that part of the street had to be reconstructed causing a significant additional expense. Buckwalter also explained that on storm drainage they ran into several problems with interference between existing utilities. The storm drainage system had to be adjusted, incurring an additional expense for increased depth on the installation of the pipeline. Buckwalter said that the bid was for a typical four to six foot bury, and in some places it varied as much as eighteen feet. A number of storm drains had to be adjusted to be deeper as well. Buckwalter asked that the Council give permission to install a headwall at the inlet of the double sixty inch culvert in the ditch just below Washington. Buckwalter said that the original design did not include a headwall, and it will work without it, but from a safety and longevity standpoint the Staff recommends adding it. The headwall will be in a twenty foot deep ditch and will prevent erosion and stabilize the slopes of the ditch to improve flow.
Council Member McCord had a concern as to the amount of the change order.
Buckwalter said that the combination of this change order and a previous one comes to ten percent of the project cost. Considering the fact that this was a reconstruction project with a number of unknown conditions, Buckwalter does not find the dollar amount unreasonable. Buckwalter stated that the final change order will be brought to the Council after the last bit of asphalt is laid. Buckwalter also added that he anticipates the last change order to be very small, or even in the City’s favor, so this should be the last significant expense added to this project.
The motion carried by the following vote: Mayor Newton – aye; Council Members: Mayer – aye; McCord – aye; Rodgerson – aye; Rowe – aye. Nays – none.
Rock Salt Bid
Council Member Rowe moved to approve the purchase of up to 1000 tons of rock salt for winter road maintenance from Ren Potterfield Trucking, Inc., of Monroe City, Missouri at a cost of $45.25 per ton; seconded by Council Member Rodgerson.
John Buckwalter explained that the City has an annual contract for rock salt in treatment of ice and snow removal. Buckwalter said that the City has four hundred tons of rock salt on hand from last year, but that they need to restock for the winter. The City solicited bids from five firms which normally provide salt, and the City only received two bids. Buckwalter said that Potterfield bid $45.25 per ton, and State Line Salt and Equipment bid $67.95 per ton for salt delivered. Buckwalter stated that last year the City paid $42.05, and the Staff recommends awarding the bid to Potterfield. Buckwalter reminded the Council that the City only pays for the salt that is ordered and received, and that based on previous years the Staff is hopeful that one thousand ton will carry them through the winter.
The motion carried by the following vote: Mayor Newton – aye; Council Members: Mayer – aye; McCord – aye; Rodgerson – aye; Rowe – aye. Nays – none.
Liquor License—Randall R. Forquer II d/b/a Opies Pool Hall
Council Member McCord moved to approve the liquor license for Randall R. Forquer II d/b/a Opies Pool Hall, which will be contingent upon the City business license being obtained prior to opening; seconded by Council Member Rowe.
Laura Guy explained that this is a new business located at 119 and 121 Main Street; previously Main Street Billiards. Guy stated that Randy Forquer is opening a new business and has requested a liquor license for the sale of malt beverage not to exceed five percent by the drink. Forquer has filed the required application and proper fees and the State Liquor Control Board will review his application if the Council approves it.
The motion carried by the following vote: Mayor Newton – aye; Council Members: Mayer – aye; McCord – aye; Rodgerson – nay; Rowe – aye. Ayes – four; Nays – one.
