CONSENT AGENDA All items listed under the heading are considered to be routine by the City Council and may be enacted by one motion. There will be no separate discussion of these items unless a Councilmember so requests, in which case that item will be removed from the Consent Agenda and considered separate. 1. Consider approval of the minutes of the City Council meeting held April 12, 2021. COUNCILMEMBER PAPE MOVED THAT THE COUNCIL APPROVE CONSENT AGENDA ITEM 1. COUNCILMEMBER SILVERS SECONDED AND THE MOTION WAS UNANIMOUSLY APPROVED. V. MAYOR’S REPORT VI. PLANNING COMMISSION 1. Consider approval of rezoning from I-1 and C-2 to PUD-G and the associated preliminary development plan for the property located at 5519 and 5501 Merriam Dr. (DS Bus Lines) Community Development Director Bryan Dyer provided the background for this item. The applicant, Kincaid Group, is requesting approval of a preliminary development plan and re-zoning for the DS Bus Lines parking lot expansion. Currently, the subject property is developed with a school bus transportation facility that includes offices and maintenance buildings related to the transportation facility’s operations. The purpose of this proposal is to facilitate a parking lot expansion and improve campus operations. The applicant is requesting that the subject property be rezoned from I-1 (Light Industrial) District and C-2 (Retail Business) District to Planned Unit Development - General (PUD-G) District. Rezoning to Planned Unit General (PUD-G) District will allow for consistent zoning, while maintaining flexibility in regard to setbacks and design standards. Per county records, the southern portion of the subject property was developed in 1960 and has been used as a school bus storage and operation facility for decades. In 1996 and 1997 the bus facility submitted site development plans for the original office building construction (SD-3-96 and SD-1-97). These plans were subsequently approved by the Planning Commission. In 2019, a site development plan for an approximately 3,200 square foot office building addition to the existing 4,300 square foot building was submitted (SDP19-000001 and SDP19-000002) and approved by the Planning Commission. The office building expansion is complete. There are two existing buildings on the subject property – 7,500 square foot office 2 City Council Minutes April 26, 2021 building and a 1,200 square foot maintenance building. The remainder of the property west of Turkey Creek is paved parking for employee use and bus parking is east of Turkey Creek with a bridge connecting the two paved areas. The northern portion of the property has been known as the Wiliker Tow lot for decades and was used for storage of inoperable vehicles. The use of the property preceded city zoning regulations and was considered a legal non-conforming use. The property was sold in 2008. The new property owner continued the tow lot and inoperable vehicle storage use maintaining the property’s non-conforming status. In 2018, Kincaid Group purchased the property on a contract for deed and began a significant cleanup of the property. DS Bus Lines is using the property for employee and bus parking. Additionally, Kincaid Group received city approval to utilize the eastern leg of the W. 55th Street and Merriam Drive intersection as a private driveway entrance into the new parking/storage area. Kincaid Group has submitted plans that have been conditionally approved by the city. This preliminary development plan shows the proposed intersection and private driveway improvements. The proposed parking lot expansion will decrease the subject property’s overall impervious surface by 18,000 square feet and provide additional employee and bus parking. The site will be accessed from existing curb cuts from Merriam Drive and the new private driveway from W. 55th Street and Merriam Drive. Rezoning to a PUD-G District allows for the creation of a preliminary development plan for the subject properties. Approval of the preliminary development plan will allow the site to deviate from the C-2 District’s required building and parking lot setbacks. In exchange for allowing the deviations, the city gains a higher level of review of the site’s current and future uses, layout, aesthetics, and landscaping. The preliminary development plan includes the existing 7,500 square foot office building, 1,200 square foot maintenance facility, and parking lot. There are no proposed additions or exterior modifications to the existing buildings. This request is only for the new parking lot and the associated fencing and land On April 7, 2021, the Planning Commission held a public hearing and based on information supplied by the applicant, as well as the criteria outlined in the Merriam Code and Kansas law as outlined in the Planning Commission Staff Report, unanimously recommended approval of the rezoning and associated preliminary development plan, with conditions. A copy of the Planning Commission Staff Report and associated minutes were included with the Agenda Packet. 3 City Council Minutes April 26, 2021 Councilmember Silvers had questions regarding the water flow from the project into Turkey Creek. Mr. Dyer showed the development plan with the new layout compared to the one currently on the site. The new paved area will be smaller than the current area. The additional landscaping will help absorb the majority of the water flow, additionally, the shrubs and grass landscaping that will be added will actually filter the water coming off the site compared to the current situation which has sheet flow run off with many impurities. Councilmember Yadrich asked about the trail connection in this area moving north. Mr. Dyer confirmed that Kincaid Group will manage the trail detour during construction; they have contacted city staff to work through that process. COUNCILMEMBER PAPE MOVED THAT THE GOVERNING BODY CONCUR WITH THE RECOMMENDATION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION AND APPROVE, WITH CONDITIONS, THE REZONING OF 5519 AND 5501 MERRIAM DRIVE FROM C-2 AND I-1 TO PUD-G WITH RESTRICTED USE TO VEHICLE STORAGE FOR OPERABLE BUSES AND ASSOCIATED OFFICE, SERVICE AND SUPPORT FACILITIES AND APPROVE THE ASSOCIATED PRELIMINARY DEVELOPMENT PLAN AND AUTHORIZE THE MAYOR TO SIGN THE EFFECTUATING ORDINANCE. COUNCILMEMBER YADRICH SECONDED AND THE MOTION WAS UNANIMOUSLY APPROVED. 2. Consider the acceptance of dedicated easements and right-of-way shown on the Merriam Kincaid 2nd Plat. Community Development Director Bryan Dyer provided the background for this item. The applicant, Kincaid Group, is requesting approval of a final plat, Merriam Kincaid 2nd Plat, for 5501 and 5519 Merriam Drive. The rezoning request to PUD-G (Planned Unit Development – General) District and preliminary development plan for the proposed final plat was just approved. The purpose of the proposal is to facilitate a parking lot expansion and improve campus operations. The applicant has submitted a development plan for the subject properties shown on this plat. The proposed lot meets the minimum bulk and dimension requirements for a PUD-G District. Currently, the subject property is developed with a school bus transportation facility that includes offices and maintenance buildings related to the transportation facility’s operations. 4 City Council Minutes April 26, 2021 At their April 7, 2021 meeting, the Planning Commission unanimously approved the plat and forwarded it to the City Council for the acceptance of easements with conditions. COUNCILMEMBER PAPE MOVED THAT THE COUNCIL ACCEPT THE DEDICATION OF EASEMENTS AND RIGHT-OF-WAY SHOWN ON THE MERRIAM KINCAID 2ND PLAT. COUNCILMEMBER HANDS SECONDED AND THE MOTION WAS UNANIMOUSLY APPROVED. VII. COUNCIL ITEMS 1. Presentation on Permanent and Temporary Weather Shelter and Food Pantry. Community Development Director Bryan Dyer presented an explanation of Permanent and Temporary weather shelters as they relate to the City’s Zoning Code. He also presented information on food pantries as they relate to the Zoning Code. Section 74-3 of the Merriam Code of Ordinances provides definitions for Group home and Group residence. Group homes are regulated and licensed by the state and the city has limited authority over these facilities. They are allowed in a residential zoned area, are limited to no more than ten persons, including eight or fewer with a disability. Group homes also include state-licensed adult care residences and facilities. Group residence is allowed in residential zoned areas, requires a Special Use Permit, must meet the development standards for parking and parking lot screening, require a Public Hearing before the Planning Commission, require City Council approval/denial, and are allowed for an initial two-year term with subsequent five-year renewals. Permanent homeless shelters would fall under the definition of Group residence. Temporary weather shelters are reviewed on a case-by-case basis and are something that would need quick consideration. The shelter would require inspections from the Merriam Building Official and Overland Park Fire Department prior to occupancy and would no longer be used as a shelter once the emergency is over. Food pantries fall into two use types; one being a primary use and the other an ancillary use. An ancillary use would not be the primary use of a facility; an example would be a church that also had a food pantry. Primary uses would be reflective of a grocery store and/or a warehouse. As a primary use, the pantry would be required to meet zoning and building code requirements and could only be located in a commercially zoned area. 5 City Council Minutes April 26, 2021 Councilmember Hands asked if the emergency shelter regulation would pertain to a natural disaster situation where people would need to be housed while their homes were being repaired or rebuilt. Mr. Dyer explained that a natural disaster situation would fall under the emergency shelter provisions. 2. Community Development Update. Community Development Director Bryan Dyer provided the following development updates: Building Projects - Seaboard Corp. is doing an extensive exterior remodel as well as an interior remodel of their facility. AdventHealth has a couple of interior remodels going on with their medical office buildings on their campus. The new tenant in Merriam Town Center, Bob’s Discount Furniture continue working on their project, there is no opening date set. Grants - The Residential Exterior and Sustainability Grant Programs are going well with many applicants receiving their reimbursements for completed projects. The Downtown Merriam Exterior Improvements Grant Program has not received any applications, yet. Staff will continue to push out the information and attempt to connect with some businesses to see if they are interested in participating in the program. Preliminary Census data has been released and Kansas has experienced the second slowest population growth since census data has been collected, however, there will be no changes in the number of representatives. Some states have lost representatives due to population declines. Hopefully more detailed census block information will be available in the coming weeks. This will provide more detailed information about Merriam’s population. 3. Monthly Finance Report. Finance Director Donna Oliver presented the Finance Report for the month of March. 4. Consider approval of a Professional Services Agreement (PSA) with Affinis for design engineering services for West Frontage Rd. from Turkey Creek Dr. to 75th St. 6 City Council Minutes April 26, 2021 Public Works Director Jim MacDonald provided the background for this item. In April 2021 staff conducted a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) process for 2021-2026 capital projects engineering. There were six projects and engineering firms could submit their interest and qualifications for one or more projects. Eleven firms responded to the RFQ. An engineering selection team comprised of Jim MacDonald, Todd Veeman, and Randy Fine rated each statement of interest on the following criteria: 1.) Project Understanding; 2.) Project Approach; 3.) Relevant Experience; 4.) Staff and Availability; and 5.) Communication/Public Relations. The highest rated firm was selected by the committee and a project scope meeting was held. In an effort to maintain continuity while still maintaining a climate of competition, Staff’s intention is to follow a similar RFQ process every five years. Affinis Corporation was selected for the West Frontage Road Project engineering. The scope of this construction project includes the installation of new curb and gutter, sidewalk along the west side of the roadway, drainage improvements, 2-inch Mill/Overlay, bridge deck repairs, slope and embankment protection, new pedestrian bridge over Turkey Creek, RR crossing upgrades, replacement of substandard curb/gutters and sidewalk/ADA ramps as required. The project scope has changed significantly since first budgeted, needed repairs to the bridge deck and footings were discovered after the biennial bridge inspection. Upgrades to the RR crossing and signals along with a pedestrian bridge over Turkey Creek were not part of the original scope of work. This requires more engineering therefore the increased cost. Staff is requesting to use additional TIF funds to cover the overage. COUNCILMEMBER PAPE MOVED THAT THE COUNCIL APPROVE A PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH AFFINIS FOR ENGINEERING SERVICES FOR WEST FRONTAGE RD. FROM TURKEY CREEK DRIVE TO 75TH ST FOR AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $259,665.00. COUNCILMEMBER HANDS SECONDED AND THE MOTION WAS UNANIMOUSLY APPROVED. VIII. STAFF ITEMS IX. EXECUTIVE SESSION X.

SUBMITTED BY: Chris Engel, City Administrator Bryan P. Dyer, Community Development Director MEETING DATE: May 10, 2021 PROJECT BACKGROUND/DESCRIPTION: In August 1994, the City of Merriam established a Redevelopment District, now known as the I-35 Redevelopment District, and adopted a district plan identifying proposed redevelopment project areas within the Redevelopment District. The district plan generally identified the improvements to occur within each project area. Those improvements generally consist of building, facilities and other development. Since the adoption of the I-35 Redevelopment District Plan, the Plan has been amended five separate times. The most recent amendment occurred in 2018. That amendment modified the District Plan in preparation of constructing the parking structure that serves the Merriam Community Center. Drake Development is submitting an application for public financing for the redevelopment of the “K- mart” property. The proposed project will involve an extensive amount of site preparation including significant grading, dirt work, construction of a retaining wall(s), and the possibility of structured parking. To offset these extraordinary costs, Drake will be requesting public financing that will likely include tax increment financing (TIF). After conversation with Drake Development representatives, staff is recommending that the area bounded by Shawnee Mission Parkway, Eby Avenue, Antioch Road, and W. 64th Terrace, excluding the La Petite Facility located at 6410 Antioch Road, be added to the city’s existing I-35 Redevelopment District. This proposed additional area will be Project Area M. Per state statutes, the city must pass a resolution establishing the date for the Public Hearing to consider amending the I-35 Redevelopment District Plan. That attached resolution sets June 14, 2021 as the date for the Public Hearing.

Page 7 of 13 BPD – 05/06/21 – ver 4 EXHIBIT C PROPOSED MODIFIED REDEVELOPMENT DISTRICT PLAN Background In 1988 the City of Merriam, Kansas (the “City”), in cooperation with the State of Kansas and pursuant to K.S.A. 12-17,107 through 12-17,113, established an enterprise zone (the “Enterprise Zone”) located generally west of Interstate Highway 35 and south of Shawnee Mission Parkway. Portions of the Enterprise Zone were located east of I-35, immediately north and south of Shawnee Mission Parkway. K.S.A. 12-1770 et seq. (the “Act”), permits cities to establish redevelopment districts and undertake redevelopment projects in areas which were established as enterprise zones prior to July 1, 1992. Pursuant to the Act and Ordinance No. 1222 of the City, as amended by Ordinance Nos. 1412, 1464, 1536, 1686, and 1787, the City has previously established a redevelopment district commonly known as the “I-35 Redevelopment District” (the “District”) and has adopted a redevelopment district plan identifying proposed redevelopment project areas and, in a general manner, buildings, facilities and improvements in each proposed redevelopment project area (the “Original District Plan”). This Redevelopment District Plan amends and restates the Original District Plan. District Boundary The boundary for the District is shown on Figure 1. Redevelopment Project Areas Proposed Redevelopment Project Areas are illustrated on Figure 2. In general, the buildings, facilities and improvements constructed or improved or proposed to be constructed or improved in each redevelopment project area identified on Figure 2 are set forth below. Detailed plans for the development of each potential project area will be developed in conjunction with a public or private sector owner or developer. Area A: This area abuts I-35 and Shawnee Mission Parkway (U.S. Highway 56). It should be developed for a highway oriented commercial use. The area should be developed as a single site for a single commercial use, to eliminate access limitations and to minimize disruption to the traffic carrying capacity of Shawnee Mission Parkway. Access to the area should be oriented to Eby or 62nd Terrace; not directly to Shawnee Mission Parkway. The site is appropriate for one or more commercial buildings associated with an automobile dealership, or one or more buildings containing food service, transient lodging, or general retail uses. Area B: This area abuts East Frontage Road with excellent visibility from I-35. This area should be developed for a highway oriented commercial use. The site is constrained by stormwater drainage passing through the center of the site. The site is appropriate for one or more small commercial Page 8 of 13 BPD – 05/06/21 – ver 4 buildings associated with an automobile dealership, food service, transient lodging, general retail, or general office use. Area C: This area abuts West Frontage Road with excellent visibility from I-35. This area should be developed for a commercial or assembly use which requires outstanding regional accessibility and visibility. Due to the size of the tract, it is best suited to a single large development which requires a site in excess of 5 acres, and which can take advantage of the existing land assemblage. The site is best suited to one or more large commercial, warehouse, or light manufacturing buildings of regional importance. Area D: This area is comprised of two sub-areas, as it is divided by the railroad tracks. The area has excellent visibility from I-35. The area is best suited for a highway oriented commercial, warehousing, or light manufacturing development west of the railroad tracks. The sub-area east of the railroad tracks is similar in character to Area C discussed above. However, due to this area's close proximity to Shawnee Mission Medical Center across I-35 to the east, it is also suitable for a large medical laboratory, medical office, or general office use. The site is most suitable for one or more structures as a single development in highway oriented commercial, or office use. Area E: This area abuts W. 67th Street near I-35. The area has excellent regional accessibility, but lacks direct visibility from I-35. It is best suited for a single large building for warehouse or light manufacturing use, or one or more buildings for general commercial use which is a destination business as opposed to a business which requires direct visibility to high volumes of motorists. Area F: This area abuts West Frontage Road, along I-35, immediately south of 67th Street. The site characteristics are similar to those set forth for Area C above. The area is suitable for a broad range of potential future uses including one or more large buildings for commercial, warehouse, light manufacturing, and corporate office use. The area is also considered suitable for a multi-structure general commercial development, should the current use of the area become obsolete. Area G: This area abuts I-35 and has excellent visibility from the highway. It lacks independent access but may be combined with the abutting automobile dealership facility or other adjacent property. It is suitable for combination with abutting property to extend the abutting use in a manner which does not require direct access to the public street system. The site is appropriate for expansion of the auto dealership facility or the expansion of the parking area for the abutting financial services business. Area H: This area is located in a commercial / industrial area adjacent to the BNSF Railway railroad tracks. It is suitable for a range of commercial and industrial uses typically found in light industrial areas, including light manufacturing, automotive service and construction industry uses. Area I: This area is between 62nd Terrace and 62nd Street on Grandview, west of the present Municipal City Hall and Fire Station, to I-35. This area should be developed into commercial uses with the greatest potential being automotive sales and/or services. Access to this area should be from 62nd Terrace and with adequate parking this area should support between 25,000 and 35,000 Page 9 of 13 BPD – 05/06/21 – ver 4 of retail or automotive services space. Area J: This area is bounded to the west by the I-35 right-of-way. The southern boundary is W. 62nd St extended, excluding the City Police Station property. The east boundary is Eby Street. The boundary heads north on Eby Street to a point where W. 60th Street extended intersects with Eby Street. From that point, the boundary heads west, back to the I-35 right-of-way. This area has excellent visibility from I-35 and is suitable for retail uses. This area should be developed as a large retail facility with supporting parking, infrastructure and related improvements. Area K: This area is bounded to the north by Johnson Drive, excluding the property at the immediate southwest corner of the intersection of Johnson Drive and Slater Street. From the southeast corner of said property, the boundary heads south along Slater Street to a point approximately 230 feet south of the intersection of Slater Street and W. 60th Terrace. From that point, the boundary heads west to Eby Street. The boundary then heads north on Eby Street to a point where W. 60th Street extended intersects with Eby Street. From that point, the boundary heads west, back to the I-35 right-of-way. This area should contain commercial, retail, office and/or multifamily residential facilities with supporting parking, infrastructure and related improvements. Area L: This area is generally bounded to the west by IKEA Way. Starting at the intersection of IKEA Way and W. 62nd Street, the boundary heads approximately 320 feet north along IKEA Way. From there the boundary heads east approximately 220 feet, then south approximately 270 feet, then east to Slater Street. The boundary then travels approximately 170 feet south along Slater Street. The boundary then heads west approximately 300 feet, then south approximately 100 feet; then west to IKEA Way. The boundary then heads north along IKEA Way to the point of beginning. This area should contain structured parking, infrastructure and related improvements related to the public buildings to be located in Vavra Park. Area M: This area is generally bounded by Eby Avenue to the west, Shawnee Mission Parkway to the north, Antioch Road to the east, and W. 64th Terrace to the south, excluding Lot 1, Pinegate subdivision and the existing development in the northeast portion of the area. This area should contain commercial, retail, multifamily residential and/or office facilities with supporting parking, structured parking, infrastructure and related improvements.

SUBMITTED BY: Chris Engel, City Administrator MEETING DATE: May 10, 2021 PROJECT BACKGROUND/DESCRIPTION: Drake Development will be submitting a Tax Increment Financing (TIF) application requesting public financing for the redevelopment of the “K-mart” property. To consider the request, the City will need outside legal and professional consultants. Drake Development has advanced $60,000 as required per the terms and has signed the funding agreement. The agreement outlines what the funds may be used for and how the City would request additional funds if necessary. The agreement does not commit the City to the approval of any amendments to the I-35 TIF Redevelopment District or any future development applications associated with Drake’s proposal. It simply protects the City from incurring out-of-pocket costs associated with consideration of their request for public financing. The City’s TIF/Development attorney Joe Serrano of Kutak Rock, LLP has reviewed the Funding Agreement.

Preliminary Operating Budget discussion and presentation. Memorandum To: Mayor Sissom and Councilmembers From: Chris Engel, City Administrator; Donna Oliver, Finance Director Date: May 10, 2021 Re: 2022 Preliminary Operating Budgets Cc: Department Heads Building the 2022 Budget: The budget process officially began on March 8, when City Council adopted the goals and objectives representing current priorities. The City Administrator advised staff to develop departmental and capital budgets that align with Council priorities or sustain current programs, but with an effort to economize where possible. Department heads submitted expenditure requests to the City Administrator and Finance Director for review on April 2. Revenue was projected by the Finance Director using estimated property values and recent sales tax trends. The budgets will be refined in the weeks ahead to incorporate feedback from City Council, revenue adjustments, and other necessary changes. 2021 Outlook: The outlook for revenues in 2021 is positive. As a result of the Covid-19 pandemic, city and county sales tax collections for 2020 were down 2.4%. During March, April, and May of 2020, the economy was largely shut down. Since June 2020 sales have rebounded with an overall growth of 3.4%. Industry experts from the National Association of Automobile Dealers (NADA), Fitch and Edmunds all forecast increased car sales and prices over 2020. Potential risks to the market stem from uncertainty over COVID-19 and supply issues in the automobile industry. The property tax “lid” was eliminated by the state effective January 1, 2021. Instead, the state passed a bill which provides notice to taxpayers whenever property taxes exceed a “revenue neutral rate”. Revenue neutral is a budget term that means the revenue brought in by property taxes in a year would be approximately the same as the previous year, eliminating the impact of new developments or reappraisals. The new community center opened in the summer of 2020. The operations of the facility have been impacted by COVID-19. However, in April 2021 the center began to see an upswing in revenues. Preliminary Budgets: On Monday night, staff will present the attached preliminary 2022 budgets for General, Bond, Transient Guest Tax, and Equipment Reserve Funds.
