Mayor Hawkins stated that
the public hearing had been held on August 18, 2003. Mrs. Gentrup asked Finance Director Linda Tyree to clarify the
decrease in amount from utility and railroad taxes. Ms. Tyree stated that the County had charged Aquila and
Southwestern Bell at the rate for being under construction in 2002. The two utilities have now been moved into
the real estate category, hence the decrease of 1.7 million in revenues in the
utility category. Mayor Hawkins asked
if utilities and railroads are levied at a different rate. Ms. Tyree stated that was not known but that
the City’s rate applied overall.
Mayor Hawkins asked if
anyone had any additional comments on the property tax.

approve the ordinance. Council Member
Hester seconded the motion, which carried unanimously. It was approved by the Chair and is inscribed

B.
*FINAL
PLAT FOR WITHERSFIELD, 4TH PLAT LOCATED ON AN EXTENSION OF
BUCKINGHAM DRIVE SOUTH [P&Z CASE NO. 03-1097FP; APPLICANT: SOUTH LIBERTY
DEVELOPMENT LLC/JOE DUFFEY] – ORDINANCE
Mr. Anderson stated this is
the fourth and final phase of Withersfield.
He stated there are 25 acres and 50 lots. He stated that an application came forward for a rezoning and
preliminary plat in 1997 and was denied.
With changes made, a second application came forward in 1998 and was
approved, as were final plats for the first three phases. He stated that the Adequate Facilities
Ordinance requires the extension of Buckingham and a stipulation has been added
to the ordinance with this requirement.
Mr. Anderson stated that
water and sewer access meets city requirements. He stated the final plat substantially conforms to the
preliminary plat. Mr. Anderson said
that a cul-de-sac had been removed to address flood plain issues. For Buckingham Road, Mr. Anderson stated
that traffic calming measures had been added, including narrowing Buckingham
from 36 feet wide to 32 feet wide. At
Surrey Street, a traffic circle would be added. He stated that the Planning & Zoning Commission recommended
approval of the final plat with the stipulation as to the extension of
Buckingham Road.
Council Member Hester asked
what would happen with Buckingham Road when Withers Road was re-aligned. Mr. Anderson said it is the responsibility
of the next developer to come in to the new Withers Road. Mayor Hawkins asked what distance the
existing Withers Road is from the proposed new alignment. Applicant Joe Duffey said it was about 1,200
feet.
Council Member Martin asked
why the conservation easement was added for certain lots. Mr. Anderson said it would be for the lots
that flooded.
Council Member Coe asked why
this location was selected for a traffic circle. Mr. Anderson said that these types of traffic calming measures
are encouraged in the City’s Comprehensive Plan and the opportunity was there. Mr. Coe said he liked the idea.
Council Member Brenton asked
what had changed in the last 24 to 36 months that would change the requirement
to two connections. Mr. Anderson
clarified that there would be two access points – Buckingham Road and a
secondary to Withers Road. Mr. Brenton
asked if the developer would get credit for building a collector street. Mr. Anderson said he would not; credits
apply only to arterial roads. Council
Member Martin asked why Buckingham Road would be narrowed. Mr. Anderson stated the road is not needed
to handle more than local traffic and this is a traffic-calming device. Council Member Parker asked what type of
curbs would be in the traffic circle.
City Engineer Mike Lawless stated the circle would have a truck apron
and public safety equipment can get through.
Mayor Hawkins asked how long
a period of time there would be no connection when Withers Road is
re-aligned. Mr. Lawless stated there
will always be a connection during the transition, either to the old or to the
new road.
Document No. 6088 was
read. Council Member Robertson moved to
waive the rules and consider the ordinance on first reading. Council Member Brenton seconded the motion,
which carried unanimously.
Council Member Coe moved to
approve the ordinance with the stipulation.
Council Member Martin seconded the motion, which carried
unanimously. It was approved by the
Chair and is inscribed in Ordinance No. 8554.
C.
*SITE
PLAN FOR NEW OFFICE PARK LOCATED AT SOUTHWEST CORNER OF 96TH STREET
AND M-291 HWY. [P&Z CASE NO. 03-214SP; APPLICANT: WAYNE VALENTINE] – RESOLUTION
Mr. Anderson stated this was
a site plan for an office park west of Park Lawn Funeral Home and north of the
Pleasant Valley Baptist Church. He
stated there are 7 ½ acres with a total commercial space of 74,000 sq. ft. He stated there would be a looped street and
access to the site through an improved street the developer would be required
to build through the Liberty portion of 96th Street.
He stated the building
designs were varied. Mr. Anderson
stated the Adequate Facilities Ordinance required 96th Street to be
fully improved. As it is within the
Kansas City city limits to the west, the improvement would be required to the
end of the Liberty city limits.
Mr. Anderson stated the
storm water would go to the Pleasant Valley Baptist Church detention
areas. He stated there would be
interior sidewalk systems and the landscape plan called for trees and
shrubs. Mr. Anderson stated that the
Planning & Zoning Commission recommended approval with the stipulation as
to the improvement of 96th Street.
Council Member Coe asked
about handicapped parking and whether or not it met ADA requirements. Mr. Anderson stated the city accessibility
requirements have been met and that city staff does not enforce ADA requirements
but that he would check on that.
Council Member Brenton asked
where the dollars would come from when a traffic signal is warranted. Mr. Anderson said that the City, MoDOT and
Kansas City, Missouri would be involved in any discussions of a signal at that
location, but it was not warranted with this site plan. Mayor Hawkins asked about the timeframe for
the Montclair development getting to 96th Street. Mr. Lawless stated that both this
application and the Montclair development are working toward it and which ever
one arrives first, would do the work to improve 96th Street at that
location.
Council Member Robertson
asked if this would be connected to Kansas City water. Mr. Lawless said it would be at one of two
locations through the Pleasant Valley Baptist Church property.
Council Member Brenton asked
if any contribution is assessed for a future signal. Mr. Anderson said the roadway development tax is now collected
and there is no longer a signal contribution required. If a signal is warranted, it would be
required, but credited through the roadway development tax.
Council Member Robertson
asked about changes to Church Road when 96th Street is
improved. Mr. Lawless stated that the
changes would be included when the improvements are made at the 291 Hwy./I-35
interchange, which is scheduled in 2006.
Council Member Hester moved
to approve the resolution with the stipulation. Council Member Martin seconded the motion. Council Member Robertson stated that it had
been a long time since a developer had made this kind of investment and he
congratulated them on choosing Liberty.
The motion carried 5-0-1,
with Council Member Robertson abstaining due to a potential conflict of
interest. The resolution is inscribed
in Resolution No. 2140.

E.
CONTRACT
FOR COURIER SERVICES WITH PSI ARMORED, INC. IN THE AMOUNT OF $3,600.00 ANNUALLY
– ORDINANCE
Mrs. Gentrup stated that
when Commerce Bank moved from the square, bids were requested for a service to
take City deposits to the bank.
Council Member Hester asked
why the deposits are not going to the Liberty branch on Bell Circle. Finance Director Linda Tyree stated that
depositing the money in the facility in Kansas City is more efficient and gets
the City’s deposits into the money stream more quickly. She noted it would not cost any less to take
the deposits to the Liberty branch.
Council Member Martin asked about the initial contract with Commerce
Bank being before its announcement to remove from the Square. Ms. Tyree stated that the City puts out a
request for proposals every five years, but the agreement with Commerce Bank is
such that it can be changed at any time.
Mrs. Martin asked if the branch on the Square being closed did not
warrant looking at other options. Ms.
Tyree said convenience was just one of the elements included in making the
decision. The fees for services
provided were lower than other banks considered. Staying with Commerce Bank meant there would be no change needed
in software and new checks would not need to be purchased. Mrs. Martin said that, even if the bank had
not moved, a courier might be needed anyway.
Council Member Parker asked
if taking the deposits to Kansas City would give the City access to getting
overnight interest. Ms. Tyree said it
would. Council Member Coe commented
that for a number of years City staff had been taking deposits up the
street. He asked why the police
couldn’t take in the deposits. Mrs.
Gentrup said that staff had looked a several options, including continuing to
use staff. She stated the courier
service was the most secure option and allowed a professional service to handle
the transfer, instead of using staff that might change from day to day. Mr. Coe said he would vote against the
contract.
Council Member Martin stated
this would address the auditor’s recommendation. Council Member Parker said that getting the overnight interest
might help defray the cost of the service.
Council Member Coe asked how
much of the daily deposits is checks versus cash. Ms. Tyree said the majority is in checks, but there is an element
of risk, even with the deposits beings checks.
Council Member Brenton stated that he agreed with Council Member Coe and
said that by not spending funds in this way, it shows the City’s
belt-tightening efforts. He stated
that, had the City entered into an agreement with a local Liberty bank, it
would probably get the interest the day of the deposit.
Document No. 6090 was
read. Council Member Robertson moved to
waive the rules and consider the ordinance on first reading. He stated he was doing so in order to vote
against the ordinance. Council Member
Brenton seconded the motion, which failed with only two affirmative votes. Mayor Hawkins stated the ordinance would go
to second reading on September 8.

inscribed in Ordinance No. 8556.
G.
AMENDMENT
TO CONTRACT WITH RIGHT OF WAY ASSOCIATES FOR SOUTH LIBERTY PARKWAY PROJECT –
ORDINANCE
Council Member Robertson
asked if the easements required included the expense for moving overhead
lines. Mr. Lawless stated that for the
South Liberty Parkway, KCPL distribution and transfer systems were already in
private easements. Mr. Robertson asked
if the utility has to pay that cost if it is a City project. Mr. Lawless stated the utility would have to
pay for the move if the lines were in public right of way. They are in a private easement in this
case. Mayor Hawkins asked if this
expense had been considered. Mr.
Lawless said it has been budgeted.
Document No. 6092 was
read. Council Member Coe moved to waive
the rules and consider the ordinance on first reading. Council Member Martin seconded the motion,
which carried unanimously.

H.
*CONTRACT
WITH BURNS & MCDONNELL FOR STORM WATER FUNDING PHASE I STUDY IN THE AMOUNT
OF $65,200.00 – ORDINANCE
Mr. Lawless stated that
previous studies have been localized in a particular neighborhood or with
reference to a specific basin. He said
that capital improvement funding has been allocated without any prioritization
of the projects and has rarely focused on policies. He stated that in May 2000 a storm water master plan was
drafted. Mr. Lawless stated that
funding had been identified in 2010 funds and has been leveraged by grant
funding.
He stated that a
presentation had been made regarding financing options and this study would be
the first of a three-phased approach to identify funding and a processing for
addressing storm water policy implementation.
Mr. Lawless reviewed the six tasks that are included in this first
phase, which concludes with the preparation of public information on the
process.
Mr. Lawless stated the first
phase was expected to take about four months.
It would be followed by the second phase – development of a rate
structure, analysis and public input, taking approximately 12 months. Phase III would then implement the utility,
set up a master file and develop a budget.
This would take another year, depending on how complex the rate is.
Mayor Hawkins asked if
future phases are in the 2004 budget.
Mr. Lawless said Phase II would be in that year’s budget.
Council Member Hester asked
if reports could be made available. Mr.
Lawless said the reports would come to staff and the Council would be kept
informed. Mrs. Hester asked about the
timeframe. Mr. Lawless said it is a
compressed schedule but is doable. Mrs.
Hester asked about public input. Mr.
Lawless said public involvement would be in the second phase. He said that some sort of advisory group
such as the Storm Water Advisory Committee would be established, but the
reference to the public in the first phase is providing educational and
informational communication to the public.
Council Member Robertson asked about the existing committee and whether it
would continue. Mr. Lawless said it could
be reactivated and added to as an advisory group, if appropriate. Mayor Hawkins asked how many served on the
committee. Mr. Lawless said there had
been nine members.
Document No. 6093 was
read. Council Member Robertson moved to
waive the rules and consider the ordinance on first reading. Council Member Martin seconded the motion,
which carried unanimously.

Mayor Hawkins asked if the

included. Mr. Lawless said he could get
that information. Council Member Coe
suggested if there was any money left over if Morse, north of Mississippi Street
could be considered.
Council Member Martin asked
if the condition of roads in Wilshire are the result of heavy truck traffic
during the construction of the junior high.
Mr. Lawless said the roads have been in poor shape for a long time and
this last overlay will complete the roads in Wilshire. Mayor Hawkins noted those are about 40 years
old.
