Apparently this individual Page 1 of 3 City Council Minutes – March 10, 2025 went door to door and handed out flyers as well as posting signs in his neighborhood.

Submitted By: Celia Kumke, Public Works Director Meeting Date: March 24, 2025 Project Background/Description: The approved FY2025 budget includes replacement of two plow trucks for the Public Works department. The current trucks were purchased in 2009 and have reached the end of their lifecycle as a front-line unit. The International cab chassis will be purchased from Rush Truck Center of Missouri through the Mo Kan Council of Public Procurement (MOKANCPP) Metro Vehicle Bid. Johnson County, Kansas is the lead for this cooperative contract, and city staff was involved in the development of bid documents and vehicle specifications. After researching and visiting several different body manufacturers, Staff recommends purchasing the Buyer's MDS dump/spreader body. This dump/spreader body incorporates salt spreader functionality into the dump bed, which will remove the need of a separate salt spreader. Additionally, the overall length of the plow trucks will be shortened. The dump body/spreader will be purchased using the City of Kansas City, Missouri's Contract No. EV959. The total cost for both dump trucks with plow and warning lighting equipment is $525,646.80 ($262,823.40 per truck) and includes:  2 International HV507 Chassis (Rush Truck Center) ($232,976.00)  2 MDS Dump/Spreader Bodies (American Equipment Co.) ($283,768.00)  2 Warning Light Equipment Systems (Ka-Comm) ($8,902.80) It is currently unknown whether this equipment will be subject to tariffs; however, based on discussion with the manufacturers, there is a potential for a price adjustment up to 10 percent on both chassis ($23,297.60) and up to 25% ($2,225.70) on the warning light equipment. Therefore, Staff recommends authorizing the purchase of this equipment in an amount not to exceed $551,170.10 (which includes potential tariff costs). If there are tariffs, the City will only pay the actual cost of the tariff if they are in place at the time of build and will have the option to cancel the purchase if the tariffs exceed this amount. With the addition of potential tariff costs, these vehicles and associated equipment exceed the budget by $11,170.10. There are adequate funds available from CIP Contingency to cover this overage, if necessary. City Council Goals and Objectives: 2.0 Provide Exceptional Service Delivery 2.1 Improve the utilization of technology to increase efficiency. Financial Impact: Amount of Request/Contract: $551,170.10 Amount Budgeted: $540,000.00 Funding Source/Account #: 222-3010-400-74-20 Public Works Equipment Reserve Fund Recommended Motion: Approve the purchase of two 2025 International HV507 Chassis, two Buyer's MDS dump/spreader bodies, and warning light equipment in an amount not to exceed $551,170.10.

Merriam's financial position remains stable as of February 2025. Revenues and expenditures are tracking close to budget projections. As a reminder, sales and use tax revenues are subject to a two-month delay, meaning February deposits reflect December activity and January’s activity will not be reflected until March (Page 1). Key Revenue Highlights: Real Property Tax Revenue: No additional collections in February, maintaining a total of $3,453,663 (55.4% of budget). Franchise Fees: $149,618 collected, totaling $310,761 (24.1% of budget). Court Fines: $64,055 collected, totaling $128,152 (17.1% of budget). Merriam Community Center Revenue: $138,851 collected, totaling $295,957 (18.5% of budget). Key Expenditure Highlights: General Fund Expenditures: $3,686,017 spent (13.53% of the annual budget). Equipment Purchases: $46,528 for police mobile data terminals and $17,853 for a public works vehicle anti-icing tank (Page 2). Contractual Services: Overall expenditures remain below budget expectations, with notable variances in utilities and property maintenance (Page 9). Investment and Debt Summary: Total Cash and Investments: $57,227,262, with 92.5% in investment accounts, a slight increase from our typical investment percentage (Page 2). Highlighted Concerns:None at this time; General Fund expenditures are trending well below budget and we are anticipating the arrival of the January Sales Tax to evaluate total revenues.

Thursday, March 13, 2025 5:30 PM Frontage Road I. CALL TO ORDER Chair Shawn McConnell called the meeting to order at 6:12 p.m. II. ROLL CALL Committee Members Present: Staff Present: Gerald Becker Lauren Krivoshia, Assistant to the City Administrator Jan Schoonover Jordan Gomez Shawn McConnell Jason Silvers Staci Chivetta Vanessa Chasm Committee Members Absent: Julie Denesha Maggie McConnell Christine Nelson III. ACTION ITEMS 1. Consider approval of the Feb. 13, 2025 meeting minutes. Committee Member Gomez made a motion to approve the February 13, 2025 meeting minutes. Committee Member Becker seconded and the motion was unanimously APPROVED. IV. PROJECT UPDATES 1. Q&A with MCC Parking Structure Artist Finalists Semi-finalist artist proposals are due by April 1. The proposals will be shared with the public online and with a display at the MCC. We'll also ask the library if they would like Page 1 of 2 Public Art Committee Minutes – March 13, 2025 to have a display. General feedback will be solicited with a comment card and online form. The committee will provide a list of questions to the artists before their presentation at the next meeting. Committee members should email questions they would like to have considered to staff. Staff will check artist references after their proposals are received and provide feedback to the committee for consideration. The City will investigate possible studio space that could be provided to the artist. The committee was informed that the City has mosaic pieces and stones from the old Irene B. French Community Center that can be used for projects if desired. 2. Parade of Hearts Sponsorship The committee is interested to know more about artist stipends for this program. While not everyone loves the Parade of Hearts, they can agree that it makes art accessible to the public. Last years hearts proved to bring people to the community, as POH has a dedicated following, and were seen as very engaging. There's also appeal with the new shape for 2026. While sponsoring the POH does not guarantee Merriam will get a heart, our location along I-35 with a visitors center should be appealing to the World Cup visitors and selection committee. A Merriam staff member also serves on the committee, which could help our chances. Commissioner S. McConnell made a motion to sponsor the Parade of Hearts in 2026 for $10,000. Committee Member Gomez seconded and the motion was unanimously APPROVED. 3. City Updates One of the artists who applied to our parking structure project, Socorro Reyes Ramirez, is going to participate in the Hispanic Heritage Month exhibition in the Tim Murphy Art Gallery later this year. Matthew Dehaemers, an MCC member who also applied for the parking structure project, is open to another project with us should one come up. Hearts Across Merriam continues to generate lots of engagement with the community, and they're all very hopeful to be the next person to find a heart! The City has metal letters that spell Merriam that were removed from a building, and the committee agreed to add their creative twist to the letters. No location is currently planned for displaying the project. 4. Other Items from the Floor No items. V. ADJOURNMENT There being no other items to discuss, the meeting was adjourned at 6:51 p.m. Page 2 of 2
