COUNCIL ITEMS 1. 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 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. A DRAFT version of this RFQ was discussed on November 10, 2025 in open-session of the City Council. The attached version reflects any provided feedback. Councilmember Silvers commented that he has has several inquiries about a developer being chosen to build apartments in Downtown Merriam. He explained to these folks that there has been no discussions with developers, staff or council in regard to redeveloping Downtown. He asked City Administrator Chris Engel to speak to that. City Administrator Chris Engel commented that he is not aware of any developer who Page 2 of 4 City Council Minutes – November 24, 2025 has approached the City in regard to any plans to redevelop Downtown. Staff has not spoken to anyone in regard to this. Billy Croan, 6633 Wedd St commented that in reviewing tonights agenda he has a question in regard to the balance in the account that this RFQ will be funded. He reached out to staff to ask that question and no one would answer. He had to fill out a records request to get the information. Mr. Croan further commented that while staff just commented that there have been no discussions with developers to redevelop Downtown in a Work Session one of the Councilmembers made a comment about how may Merriam Grand Stations could fit down there. He construed that this comment meant that someone was has spoken to developers. Councilmember Yadrich made a motion to approve the Request for Qualifications for a Downtown Master Plan as presented. Councilmember Chivetta seconded and the motion was unanimously APPROVED. VII. STAFF/INFORMATIONAL ITEMS 1. Community Development Update Community Development Director Bryan Dyer provided the following updates: Staff was notified this week that the fuel tanks from the 7-11 on Antioch are being removed. There is still no indication from the property owner what they are planning to do at the site. The Merriam Marketplace development is moving along well. The Trader Joe's shell is on schedule. there is additional demo going on at the east side of that development. Staff has received several Driveway Grant Applications. Staff will be reviewing those once the deadline has passed. Staff has completed the MS4 System process with Kansas Department of Health and Environment. The MS4 System is the stormwater report or discharging stormwater runoff into Turkey Creek. The inspection by KDHE was completed last week and staff anticipates receiving the report back in a couple of weeks. 2. October Financial Update Finance Director Meagan Borth presented the Finance Report for the month of October. A. INFORMATIONAL ITEMS VIII.

Respectfully submitted, Juliana Pinnick City Clerk Page 4 of 4  Item Information Form Subject/Agenda Item: Consider approval of the 2026 Legislative Agenda Submitted By: Caitlin Gard, Assistant City Administrator Meeting Date: December 08, 2025 Project Background/Description: Each year, the City Council adopts a legislative agenda that establishes its priorities for the upcoming state legislative session. The agenda is the result of discussions with the League of Kansas Municipalities, Northeast Johnson County Chamber, Johnson County, neighboring cities, and the City’s legislative lobbyists (Little Government Relations). The City of Merriam’s 2026 State Legislative Delegation includes Senator Dinah Sykes, Senator Pat Petty, Representative Jarrod Ousley, and Representative Cindy Neighbor. The 2026 draft agenda has minimal changes from the 2025 agenda:  Change “Sales Tax Collection on Automobiles” to “Sales Tax Collection & County Apportionment”. Johnson County is considering changes to the sales tax apportionment calculation..  Add sentence to “Tax Policy” to express support for incentive districts.  Move “Local Control of Right of Way” higher on the list of legislative priorities. This is likely to be a significant discussion later this year and next session.  Move “Energy Efficiency” down on the list of legislative priorities.  Change “Statewide Expansion of Medicaid” to “Protection of Medicaid Services” and move lower on legislative priorities list. Changes reflect current state and federal discussions on Medicaid.  Remove “Budget Submission Process”. This issue will not be relevant in upcoming sessions. The remaining items are holdovers from the approved 2025 Legislative Agenda. Some are exactly the same, others contain updated wording but no substantial changes. The attached draft was reviewed by Stuart Little and Mallory Lutz and they agree it contains the appropriate items to address. City Council Goals and Objectives: 1.0 Enhance Community Identity and Connections Recommended Motion: Staff recommends the approval of the 2025 Legislative Agenda as written. Supporting Documents: 2026 Merriam Legislative Agenda - Final Draft 2026 Merriam Legislative Agenda Presentation 2026 Little Government Relations Legislative Preview  CITY OF MERRIAM 2026 LEGISLATIVE AGENDA State and local governments are partners in providing numerous governmental services that are funded and made available to citizens. Local units of government are closest to the citizens and therefore, are extremely well-positioned to represent the interests of citizens in the communities in which they live. The partnership depends upon stable funding, efficient use of citizens’ resources, and responsiveness at the city and county levels. We support the preservation of local authority, maintenance of local control of local revenue and spending, and oppose the devolution of State duties to local units of government without planning, time, and resources. The City of Merriam advocates on the following issues in the interests of our elected representatives and on behalf of the citizens who live in our city. SALES TAX COLLECTION & COUNTY APPORTIONMENT We support current laws that govern the collection point and structure for sales taxes collected on automobile sales. We do not support changes to the current Johnson County sales tax apportionment formula that would decrease the tax base or reduce the funding available for key programs that rely on sales tax for a significant portion of their funds. TAX POLICY We support stable revenue sources and urge the Kansas Legislature to avoid applying any further exemptions to the ad valorem property tax base, including exceptions for specific business entities or the state/local sales tax base, as well as industry-specific special tax treatment through exemptions or property classification. The local tax burden has shifted too far to residential property taxes due to state policy changes. We do not support changes in State taxation policy that would narrow the tax base or significantly reduce available funding for key programs, including artificially capping property valuations. These changes put Kansas cities at a competitive sales tax disadvantage with Missouri. We also recognize the positives of incentive districts that enable development and provide stable revenue sources, and we support the creation of new incentive districts and the continuation of current districts. COMMERCIAL PROPERTY VALUATION We strongly support legislation that would require commercial properties to be appraised and valued based on fair market value as currently defined in Kansas statute, and validated by the State Supreme Court. Municipalities rely on property tax revenue from large commercial retailers to pay for their share of essential city services. Any change in the way these properties are valued will have a detrimental impact on municipal operations and will result in the property tax burden shifting to residential property owners to make up for lost revenue. LOCAL CONTROL OF RIGHT OF WAY We support the ability of local officials to regulate the public right-of-way while making land use and zoning decisions within their community, including decisions about the location, placement, size, appearance, and siting of transmission and receiving facilities and any other communications facilities. Cities must also be allowed to recover reasonable compensation for use of right-of-way through local control of fees and permits relative to those facilities. MENTAL HEALTH We support allocating additional resources for behavioral health programs. Funds should be allocated for community mental health centers and additional bed space, the 988-suicide hotline, and mobile crisis response services for patients with mental health needs. LEGALIZED CANNABIS The Kansas Legislature should carefully weigh the impact of legalized cannabis on law enforcement and human resources. In addition, cannabis sales should be subject to existing state and local sales tax and cities should be able to levy their own excise fees and receive a portion of any state funds to offset the impact of legalized cannabis. Also, cities should To Be Approved by the Merriam City Council have the ability to opt-in to allow dispensaries in their city. Kansas should only allow the cultivation and processing of cannabis and THC in licensed facilities and should not permit residential grow operations. ENERGY EFFICIENCY We support the development of a coordinated and comprehensive Energy Plan that supports the creative implementation of renewable energy and energy-efficient technologies that are environmentally sustainable and economically prosperous. We also support public and private incentives to encourage energy efficiency and renewable energies by local governments and citizens. HOME RULE AUTHORITY Consistent with the Home Rule Amendment of the Kansas Constitution approved by voters in 1960, Merriam supports the retention and strengthening of local home rule authority to allow locally elected officials to conduct the business of the city in a manner that best reflects the desires of their constituents and results in maximum benefit to the community. The city opposes mandated responsibilities from the state without being fully funded. K-12 EDUCATION FINANCING We are supportive of the Kansas Legislature adequately and equitably funding primary and secondary education to a level that places Kansas among the leading states in support of a “world-class” education, including fully funding special education (SPED). COMPREHENSIVE TRANSPORTATION PLAN We support full funding of the Eisenhower Legacy Transportation Program. We oppose any use of these funds to balance the state’s General Fund. Any reduction in funding jeopardizes existing programs. We encourage the maximization of federal infrastructure funding that facilitates economic development in high-usage areas with a regional impact. PROTECTION OF MEDICAID SERVICES Providing access to Medicaid services is the responsibility of the state and federal government, and federal cuts to Medicaid threatens our most vulnerable citizens. Additionally, the decision to limit Medicaid expansion has an impact on the citizens of Merriam. Absent the state’s participation in Medicaid expansion, local taxpayers are required to pay for certain medical services that would otherwise be covered by Medicaid. STATUTORY PASS-THROUGH FUNDING We support the preservation and funding of local government revenues which pass through the State’s treasury, including, County City Revenue Sharing (CCRS), alcoholic liquor tax funds and the local portion of motor fuel tax to local governments. KPERS & KP&F FUNDING We support the full funding of the Kansas Public Employees Retirement System (KPERS) and Kansas Police & Fire (KP&F) retirement systems and honoring all commitments that have been made by KPERS and KP&F. The local KPERS system should remain separate from the state and school retirement system. Changes to the KPERS system should not impact a city’s ability to hire and retain qualified public employees, including any undue burden on hiring KPERS retirees, or reduce benefits promised to employees. We appreciate the Legislature’s efforts in examining KPERS III and exploring alternative proposals to ensure our state’s pension system is competitive, particularly for communities located along the state’s borders. To Be Approved by the Merriam City Council 2026 Legislative Agenda Draft Changes Change “Sales Tax Collection on Automobiles” to “Sales Tax Collection & County Apportionment”.

Move “Energy Efficiency” down on the list of priorities. Change “Statewide Expansion of Medicaid” to “Protection of Medicaid Services” and move lower on list of priorities.

They are proud of the work the department does working closely with the KU Sensory Enhanced Programs.  Parks and Recreation are not involved with the installation of Christmas lights on buildings. This is a Public Works task. They likely do not know without measuring the linear feet of each building to calculate the number of lights installed.  Public Works Facilities team is managing the generator project. There has been one test of the system in preparation for it to be operational. How the generator operates under winter conditions will be managed by the Facilities team.  The approved fee letter will be mailed December 1st.
