CALL TO ORDER - PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE Mayor Pape called the meeting to order at 7:00 pm. II. ROLL CALL Council Present: Staff Present: Bob Pape Juli Pinnick, City Clerk Jacob Laha Caitlin Gard, Assistant City Administrator Jason Silvers Alan Long, Fire Chief Amy Rider Anna Slocum, Parks and Recreation Director Whitney Yadrich Bryan P. Dyer, Community Development Director Chris Evans Hands Chris Engel, City Administrator Bruce Kaldahl Darren McLaughlin, Police Chief Staci Chivetta Meagan Borth, Finance Director Reuben Cozmyer Ryan Denk, City Attorney Ciera White, Communication Specialist Council Absent: Lauren Krivoshia, Assistant to the City Administrator Celia Kumke, Public Works Director III. PUBLIC ITEMS Members of the public are encouraged to use this time to make comments about matters that do not appear on the agenda. Comments about items on the regular agenda will be taken as each item is considered. Please note: Individuals making Public Comments will be limited to 5 minutes. In accordance with the Governing Body Rules of Procedure, the City reserves the right to refuse Public Comments that are personal, impertinent or slanderous. James Zoffka, 5929 Mastin, commented that he wanted to congratulate all the councilmembers who won their elections and wish a Happy Birthday to the Marine Corps today, and thank all Veterans for serving our country. He expressed frustration with the road by his house as every day it is a traffic jam due to the school nearby he is tired of dealing with it every afternoon and asked the city to do something to help the situation. Page 1 of 8 City Council Minutes – November 10, 2025 Eric Klem, 8007 W 60th St., wanted it brought to the attention of the council about the recent pipelining project in his neighborhood where old stormwater pipes are lined with a liquid fiberglass. This type of pipelining could have environmental impact to fish, micro organisms and wildlife that count on Turkey Creek as a water source. He is concerned about the wildlife that rely on the water table for food source and water. While this process works well if there are no holes or cracks in the pipes, but when this product leeches into the water table system, it can have grave environmental impacts to wildlife. He suggested water and soli testing before and after such a process takes place to ensure we are not polluting the water systems that the wildlife depends on. Billy Croan, did not provide address, commented that he feels the Mayor should not be able to use a public forum like he did at the last meeting to campaign or be used as political forum. The public was not given an opportunity to respond when the Mayor made a statement last meeting. He also feels the two new Council Policies on the Agenda tonight are an attempt to limit free speech and is a double standard. He further stated that the Mayor was a coward and will further address the two proposed policies later in the meeting. IV. CONSENT AGENDA 1. Consider approval of the minutes of the City Council meeting held October 27, 2025. 2. Consider approval of the 2026 Schedule of Fees 3. Consider approval of the 2026-2028 Turkey Creek Festival Agreement with Johnson County Parks and Recreation District 4. Approve final payment to SB Wyatt Contracting, Inc. for the Station 46 Apron 5.

Mayor Pape provided an update of meetings and events that the Mayor and Councilmembers have attended over the past few weeks. Mayor Pape Presented Councilmembers Chivetta, Cozmyer and Yadrich with Honorary Police Badges for completing the Citizens Police Academy. This program is open to all Merriam residents who want to learn more about the Merriam Police Department. The program is offered once a year in the Fall. He encouraged folks to participate in the program if they would like to learn more about the daily life of a Merriam Police Officer. Mayor Pape closed his Mayor's Report by congratulating all the Councilmembers who won their re-election. He also thanked the community for re-electing him for an additional term. It is obvious that the citizens are happy with the job that the council and staff have done. He is looking forward more great things for Merriam over the next four years. VI. COUNCIL ITEMS 1. Consider approval of an Agreement with BHC for design services for the West Vernon Place Improvements Project. Public Works Director Celia Kumke presented the background for this item. The City's Capital Improvement Program (CIP) includes the West Vernon Place Improvements Project with design in 2026 and construction in 2027. The West Vernon Place subdivision was constructed in the 1960's with inadequate stormwater infrastructure and no sidewalks. In 2019 the subdivision was scheduled for installation of new sidewalks but due to strong resident feedback the City Council cancelled the project. In 2021, a preliminary stormwater management study was Page 3 of 8 City Council Minutes – November 10, 2025 prepared which identified four alternatives based on residents' stormwater concerns. The recommended alternative provides for the installation of new stormwater infrastructure to address street flooding per APWA standards, which addresses the City's responsibility to manage stormwater in public right-of-way. This project includes a 2-inch mill and overlay; replacement of curb and gutter and ADA ramps as necessary; stormwater improvements to address street flooding; a stormwater BMP for water quality; and possibly new sidewalks. Prior to beginning design, a survey will be sent out to all neighborhood residents seeking their input on the addition of new sidewalks and whether to improve existing islands or remove them during construction. The results of this survey will be presented to City Council to assist in their decision whether or not new sidewalks will be constructed and/or islands will be improved or removed during construction. Pavement cores will also be collected at the beginning of design to determine whether the existing pavement thickness is adequate for a mill and overlay or requires reconstruction. BHC's scope of work includes data collection and survey, project management, preliminary and final design, easement preparation, and construction services. The design cost is $341,310 and design is anticipated to be completed by the end of 2026 with construction in 2027. The full project cost is approximately $ 4.4 million. Neighborhood surveys will me mailed to all households in the subdivision. It was suggested that the survey have a scan code for folks to submit their survey online. This way there are two options for the residents to submit their survey responses. The design agreement currently includes sidewalks. If the resident feedback does not want sidewalks the design fee will be less. It is anticipated that the surveys will go out in the next couple of weeks. Sidewalks would be on one side of the street only. Councilmember Chivetta made a motion to approve an agreement with BHC for design services for the West Vernon Place Improvements Project in the amount of $341,310. Councilmember Cozmyer seconded and the motion was unanimously APPROVED. 2. Consider Council Policy 13.0 Social Media Policy Assistant City Administrator Caitlin Gard presented the background for this item. The City of Merriam uses multiple social media platforms, including Facebook, Instagram, and Nextdoor, to share timely information, promote City programs and events, and engage with residents. As these platforms evolve, it is important to have a clear, consistent framework for how official City accounts are managed, moderated, and used to communicate on behalf of the organization. This policy applies only to official City-managed social media accounts, those created, maintained, or authorized by the City of Merriam for the purpose of conducting City business or communicating official information on behalf of the organization. Page 4 of 8 City Council Minutes – November 10, 2025 It does not apply to the personal social media accounts of elected officials, employees, or appointed board and commission members, provided those accounts are not used to conduct City business or present themselves as representing the City. The City does not authorize or recognize any personal or non–City-managed account as an official communication channel for City business. This distinction preserves the City’s credibility, prevents confusion about official messaging, and limits legal exposure associated with the moderation or deletion of public comments on private pages. As noted by the City Attorney, enabling public comments on City-managed pages introduces potential First Amendment risks. Without clear policies and consistent enforcement, a social media page may be legally interpreted as an “open public forum,” limiting the City’s ability to moderate inappropriate or off-topic content. The proposed policy designates all City-managed pages as limited public forums, spaces for discussion limited to topics related to City business. To remain compliant, the policy requires: 1. Posting this policy on the City’s website and linking them on every City social account. 2. Clearly stating that each page is limited to official City topics. 3. Regular, consistent enforcement of the content guidelines by designated staff. This approach maintains transparency and engagement while reducing legal exposure for viewpoint discrimination claims. The proposed Social Media Policy establishes clear expectations for how the City of Merriam manages and moderates its social media presence. It defines the purpose and goals of the City’s online communication efforts, emphasizing accuracy, timeliness, and accessibility of information for the public. The policy outlines which accounts are covered, distinguishes official City accounts from personal use, and affirms that all content posted on official accounts may be considered a public record subject to the Kansas Open Records Act (KORA). It further establishes standards for appropriate content and outlines procedures for moderation and removal of posts that violate those standards, including those that are profane, discriminatory, threatening, political, commercial, or unrelated to City business. Finally, the policy assigns administrative responsibilities for oversight and monitoring of City accounts to ensure compliance with the policy. Billy Croan, did not provide address, commented that this policy is unconstitutional. Banning political comments or comments that are off topic have been challenged by the ACLU. He feels that the Kansas Constitution also protects free speech and that this policy should not be adopted. City Attorney Ryan Denk commented that there two types of public forums, one type Page 5 of 8 City Council Minutes – November 10, 2025 like the Public Comment section of the Council meeting is largely an open public forum where we do not restrict or restrain the content and we solicit any type of feedback. Social media pages are a limited public forums as the posts shall be constrained to the topic of the original post which the policy addresses. As long as the constraint is monitored and applied equally there is no violation of the First Amendment. This policy has been reviewed by the City Attorney and the City Attorney has written many of these policies. Case law supports that this type of limited public forum is allowable. Councilmember Hands made a motion to approve the Social Media Policy as presented. Councilmember Yadrich seconded and the motion was unanimously APPROVED. 3. Consider Council Policy 14.0 - Solicitation, Petitioning, Distribution of Literature at Municipal Facilities City Administrator Chris Engel presented the background for this item. During a recent review of City Council Policies, it was discovered the City has not established a policy for solicitation, to include the soliciting for petitions, personal campaigning, and personal distribution of literature to City employees or visiting patrons in City buildings and/or on City grounds. As a best practice, a solicitation policy helps the city manage and control when, where, and how people or organizations can request money, sell goods, or promote causes in public spaces. Several reasons City Council may want to adopt a solicitation policy include: Balancing Free Speech Rights – Solicitation can be a form of protected speech, so having a clear, fair policy helps the city regulate where and how it happens without violating the Constitution. Protecting City Liability – To set clear rules so it's understood what’s allowed, helping avoid lawsuits or First Amendment conflicts. Fair Use of Public Spaces – To ensure that sidewalks, parks, and public buildings are used safely and equally by everyone, not dominated by solicitors. Reducing Nuisance or Harassment – To prevent situations where residents or visitors feel pressured, harassed, or repeatedly approached. The attached policy regulates solicitation, petitioning, and literature distribution at City facilities. Such activities are generally prohibited inside buildings or on City grounds, except within rented meeting rooms or designated outdoor zones that do not impede traffic. Designated outdoor zones for solicitation will be made on a case-by-case basis depending on factors including, but no limited to, the anticipated size, location and duration of the event. The City Administrator may adjust these zones near polling places and must ensure all enforcement remains content- and viewpoint-neutral. Page 6 of 8 City Council Minutes – November 10, 2025 This policy has been reviewed and approved by the city attorney. The policy was mirrored after the Johnson County Library Policy as we share public space with them at the Community Center site. Billy Croan, 6633 Wedd St., commented that he feels this policy is extreme overreach. He feels this policy bans residents from talking to each other about civic issues in and around public buildings. He further commented that the council should reject this policy, because not rejecting it, is equivalent to the council shitting on the Constitution they all swore to uphold. Councilmember Hands made a motion to approve Council Policy 14.0 - Policy on Solicitation, Petitioning, or Distribution of Literature at Municipal Facilities or Structures Councilmember Yadrich seconded and the motion was unanimously APPROVED. VII. STAFF/INFORMATIONAL ITEMS 1. November CIP Update Public Works Director Celia Kumke presented the CIP update for November. 2. Single Hauler Update Assistant City Administrator Caitlin Gard provided the single hauler update. 3. Request for Qualifications - Downtown Master Plan City Administrator Chris Engel provided the background for this item. Historic Downtown Merriam has a long history of flooding from Turkey Creek, with major events recorded in 1951, 1958, 1961, 1968, 1977, 1983, 1986, 1993, 1995, 1996, and 1998. Much of the area sits within a FEMA-designated floodplain, which requires additional steps for any new development - such as elevating buildings, adding floodproofing, and maintaining flood insurance. These added costs have made reinvestment a challenge. After the 1998 flood, Congress directed the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) to study possible flood control solutions for the Upper Turkey Creek watershed, including the Merriam area. That study, completed between 2002 and 2015 with significant public input, resulted in a plan for floodwalls and levees designed to protect the community from future flooding. The Upper Turkey Creek Flood Risk Management Project officially moved into design after funding was approved through the 2021 Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. The City of Merriam and Johnson County are local partners, together funding 35% of the project, with the federal government covering the remaining cost. USACE expects to complete 65% of the project design by early 2026. Once that milestone is reached, the Council will begin the process of discussing the proposed plan throughout 2026. To assist in weighing the merits of the USACE project, the City is investigating if there are other viable options to remove downtown from the floodplain. Additionally, there Page 7 of 8 City Council Minutes – November 10, 2025 has not been sufficient public input on how our residents and businesses would envision a future downtown that’s free of the restrictions of the floodplain. In such a situation it is advisable to secure the services of a firm(s) to conduct a Master Plan process. A Downtown Master Plan should focus on facilitating a visioning and planning process that challenges Merriam stakeholders to define an achievable, shared future for Downtown Merriam. Based on Council feedback tonight, the RFQ will be refined and presented to City Council on November 24, 2025 for final approval and release. A. INFORMATIONAL ITEMS 1. Parks & Recreation Advisory Board minutes were included in the Council Agenda Packet. 2. Public Art Committee minutes were included in the Council Agenda Packet. VIII. EXECUTIVE SESSION IX. ADJOURNMENT There being no further business to come before the council, Councilmember Hands made a motion to adjourn at 8:03 pm. Councilmember Yardrich seconded and the motion was unanimously APPROVED.

Supporting Documents: Downtown Master Plan - RFQ  REQUEST FOR QUALIFICATIONS (RFQ) CITY OF MERRIAM DOWNTOWN MASTER PLAN I. Introduction / Purpose The City of Merriam (“City”) is seeking statements of qualifications from professional planning and design firms to assist in the development of a Downtown Master Plan for the City’s Historic Downtown District (“District”). The intent of this plan is to create a shared community vision and provide strategic guidance for land use, redevelopment, infrastructure, and placemaking within the District. The District includes a mix of commercial, civic, and industrial properties, bordered by Turkey Creek to the west, freight rail tracks to the east, and running from Johnson Drive on the south to the Merriam Drive bridge on the north. Merriam Drive bisects the District north to south. The area encompasses approximately eight city blocks and 35 properties. The City is the largest landowner in the District, having strategically acquired several key parcels over time. While the area includes a few newer businesses, much of the District has remained unchanged due to two primary constraints: 1. Despite its prime location along I-35, a feature that typically drives redevelopment, the area has seen little change in use over the past several decades, remaining largely occupied by industrial and automotive uses and underutilized parcels. 2. The presence of FEMA-designated floodplain (see “Downtown Flooding” section III). Despite these challenges, Merriam residents have repeatedly voiced support for a vibrant, mixed-use downtown, most recently through planning efforts such as: - Merriam Downtown Economic Enhancement Strategy (1998) - Comprehensive Plan 2020 (2000) - Irene B. French Community Center Report (2019) - Comprehensive Plan 2040 (2020) - Downtown Merriam Corridor Plan (2022) - Community Satisfaction Survey (2024) The City intends for the final Downtown Master Plan to become an adopted element of the Comprehensive Plan 2040. Public and Stakeholder Participation Stakeholder engagement will be a critical component of this process. The consultant will be expected to design and execute a robust outreach strategy that includes regular and meaningful engagement with a diverse group of stakeholders, including business owners, property owners, residents, and institutional partners. The consultant will develop and implement a robust public and stakeholder engagement strategy. This strategy should include: • Creative outreach tactics to ensure broad participation • Targeted stakeholder meetings and public workshops • A mechanism for engaging a City-appointed steering committee • A focus on building consensus and supporting implementation, not just visioning • Conduct a statistically significant survey to determine Merriam residents’ vision of Downtown The project participation process should be inclusive, transparent, and designed to produce actionable outcomes. II. City Background Median Age: 38.2 Population: 11,036 (2023) Median Home Value: $309,822 (2024) Land Area: 4.32 sq mi Parks: 10 Median Household Income: $71,665 (2023) Form of Government: Total Housing Units: 5,183 (2023) Mayor/Council/Administrator Merriam is in northeast Johnson County, Kansas, just eight miles southwest of downtown Kansas City. With no room for expansion, the City focuses on infill and redevelopment. Its largest revenue source is sales tax (50%), with automobile sales and services as the dominant sector. III. Downtown Flooding Turkey Creek, which runs through the District, has a long history of flooding. Major flood events occurred in 1951, 1958, 1961, 1968, 1977, 1983, 1986, 1993, 1995, 1996, and 1998. Most of the area lies within a FEMA-designated Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA), subjecting property owners to costly insurance and design requirements, and discouraging redevelopment. Following the 1998 flood, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) conducted a feasibility study for flood mitigation, culminating in the federally authorized USACE Turkey Creek Engineering Study (2015) that includes floodwalls and levees through the District. Design plans are expected to reach 65% completion in early 2026, at which time City Council will consider whether to proceed. In parallel, the City has contracted HNTB to explore other floodway removal alternatives. While flood mitigation is a critical factor, this Downtown Master Plan RFQ is focused on creating a community vision that can be implemented regardless of the technical solution chosen. IV. Anticipated Plan Focus Areas The selected consultant will lead a robust community engagement effort and work closely with City staff and a Steering Committee. While the final scope will be developed with the selected consultant, the plan is expected to address the following topics: - Placemaking & Urban Design: Identity, public art, and streetscape enhancements. - Business & Economic Development: Market conditions, business attraction/retention, and strategic infill. - Parking & Access: Short- and long-term strategies, multimodal connectivity, and wayfinding. - Redevelopment & Land Use: Context-sensitive redevelopment scenarios that respect adjacent residential areas and environmental constraints. - Streetscape/Infrastructure: Design themes, pedestrian safety, public realm improvements, and branding. V.
