PUBLIC SAFETY A. Police Report Chief Roberson notes from his report criminal damage to a property by an employee that had a bad day. He notes of a couple porch pirates at the 2700 block of 63rd Street and 2100 block of Tomahawk Road He adds that the department has had good luck with the LPR and traffic cameras and were able to identify and charge two suspects. Chief Roberson notes of a theft of a vehicle in the Carraige Club parking lot and adds that the cameras have helped but notes of the activity near there and along State Line Road. Chief Roberson notes a vehicle theft on Mission Drive and adds the vehicle was unlocked and they do not have a suspect. Chief Roberson reminds everyone to not place keys on your tire or in your gas cap as these are common places that criminals look. Chief Roberson notes of an additional BMW that was unlocked in the driveway and stolen. He adds that LPR received some information from tags, but the tags were out of state. He adds that the key fob was likely in the vehicle, allowing the criminals to take the vehicle. Chief Roberson notes an unlocked vehicle was stolen on Willow Lane . Chief Roberson notes a burglary of an unlocked vehicle parked on the street in the 2000 block of Stratford Road. He adds that a computer was stolen, and he believes this incident is related to the theft from a vehicle at 67th Street due to cameras and LPRs. Chief Roberson notes from his report a burglary theft from a vehicle and notes that they were able to get in the car and open the garage which activated the home alarm. Chief Roberson also notes in his report two car accidents. Chief Roberson notes from the monthly activity report that activity has been low for the most part. He adds that in the month of August, most crimes are even or trending down. He adds that auto thefts are up a little bit but notes that most of the vehicles are unlocked. Chief Roberson asks the Council for any questions to which Mayor Dickey asks the Chief to give the Council a quick summary of the fatality accident that ended on State Line Road. Chief Roberson states that there was an officer traveling Westbound on 63rd Street near Roe Avenue and there was a car traveling east bound on 63rd Street at a high rate of speed. Chief Roberson adds that the car entered Mission Hills at a very high rate of speed before colliding with a tree just East of State Line Road. He adds that no one else was involved in the accident and he adds that they do not have a lot of information but believes the car was traveling over 100 mph. Mayor Dickey thanks Chief Roberson for his report and ask the Council if they have any questions for the Chief. Councilperson Nelson asks Chief Roberson what he knows about the fire at Mission Hills Country Club to which Chief Roberson states he discussed with Chief Chick and does not know 2 the cause of the fire. He notes the significant smoke damage and adds that there were no injuries or suspicious activity. Mayor Dickey notes that he will ask Chief Chick to either come to the October Council meeting or provide a report with more information. CONSENT AGENDA A. Claims Ordinance No. 1660 Councilperson Nelson moved to approve Claims Ordinance No. 1659. Councilperson Thorne seconded. Approved 4-0. B. Resolution No. 2024 – Q: Police Services Contract with Prairie Village Councilperson Nelson moved to approve Resolution No. 2024 – Q: Police Services Contract with Prairie Village. Councilperson Thorne seconded. Approved 4-0. C. Adopt 2025-2029 Capital Improvement Plan Councilperson Nelson moved to approve Adopt 2025-2029 Capital Improvement Plan. Councilperson Thorne seconded. Approved 4-0. FINANCIAL REPORT A. August Financial Report Ms. Lee notes the August Financial Report and adds that the quarterly report will be presented at the October Council meeting. OLD BUSINESS A. Repeat Nuisance Properties Ms. Woolbright notes 6700 Cherokee Lane has been purchased and they have started the demolition process. B. Draft Ordinance Scooters Ms. Krstulic highlights in the draft ordinance the provisions limiting riders to one or less unless equipment is designed for multiple and a 25-mph speed limit since there is a requirement that this equipment is to be ridden on the street. Ms. Krstulic adds that a chart was provided to clarify definitions. Councilperson Bruning asks Ms. Krstulic for clarification to define what the problem is and ask what the City is trying to protect, the riders or the pedestrian. Councilperson Bruning asks if the City can effectively enforce a ban on these activities as he is concerned about taking the police away from other duties. Councilperson Bruning states he is concerned about unintended consequences. Mayor Dickey notes the amount of feedback he has heard from residents and not one resident has requested the Council to do nothing. Mayor Dickey notes the difficulty of enforcement and highlights the importance of education but does not want the City to do nothing and wants the City to be model in the County. Councilperson Nelson opines her agreement with the Mayor and adds that just a helmet requirement would be a step forwards. Councilperson Nelson asks Chief Roberson if this has been discussed in Prairie Village to which the Chief states there have been talks of scooters in Prairie Village but there has not been talks about regulating them. Chief Roberson states that a helmet requirement is low hanging fruit. Councilperson Bruning asks Chief Roberson if he thinks banning them on sidewalks would result in more kids on the streets to which Chief Roberson states yes. Ms. Krstulic adds that there are two provisions in addition to the definitions. One that reserves the sidewalks to pedestrians 3 and certain other devices and the other is operating requirements like helmet requirements, limiting passengers, and following STO rules. Mayor Dickey adds after his newsletter article was published he received feedback against putting kids on the streets and adds that when kids are 14, they are old enough to have a restricted driver’s license. Mayor Dickey recommends kids old enough to drive a car be required to operate these vehicles on the street. Mayor Dickey also recommends having the ordinance language state that pedestrians be given the right-of-way on the sidewalks which is already included in the draft ordinance. Ms. Krstulic notes that the rules that apply to bicycles apply to everything else under the STO. Councilperson Bruning asks Chief Roberson if the DARE officer has started presentations on this topic to which Chief Roberson states, yes the ongoing curriculum now includes teaching them safe practices and sending information to parents elementary through junior high. Chief Roberson notes that in the Shawnee Mission School District, some schools have banned riding scooters and e-bikes to school. Councilperson Bruning notes that there are no other communities in Johnson County with regulations and the City is alone in this ordinance and asks if there is another way to start the process of public awareness before an ordinance is passed and reiterated he is worried about unintended consequences. Chief Roberson states the PVPD has stopped several scooters for unsafe behaviors and notes of their extreme prevalence. Ms. Krstulic adds that the City could go as far as banning them outright. Mayor Dickey states he believes that is overreach and banning them is not the right answer and recommends taking baby steps to get started and the City can learn as they go. Mayor Dickey adds that the City can lead on this issue to help start the momentum for other cities. Councilperson Thorne asks if scooter companies are allowed in the City to which Ms. Lee states yes. Councilperson Bruning notes since the City has focused on young families for the last couple years and a ban would surely upset young families. Councilperson Thorne notes that the 25 mph is fast to which Ms. Krstulic states this is because that is the speed limit on the road and some devices are self-regulated with maximum speeds less than 25 mph. Ms. Krstulic asks the Council how they would like to move forward with the new ordinance. Mayor Dickey recommends that helmets be required and a 15-year-old age limit for riding on the sidewalk. Councilperson Thorne asks to add a provision to not allow more than one user to which Ms. Krstulic states that is addressed in the operating requirements. Councilperson Bruning asks Chief Roberson how the PVPD would enforce helmets, older kids off the sidewalk, and one rider for appropriate vehicles to which Chief Roberson replies, the helmets would be simple, but the age would be more difficult. Councilperson Nelson states she wants the parents to take over managing this issue and Che city has started with education. Councilperson Bruning states that he does not have as much confidence in the parents to address this issue. Councilperson Bruning asks if Ms. Lee could help with the education component. Mayor Dickey recommends in the spring an event where we partner with the police department to sit on Belinder Avenue to do some enforcement. Ms. Krstulic asks the Council for consensus on what to do with the sidewalk limitation, noting the Mayor’s recommendation for age requirements for sidewalk use. Ms. Krstulic recommends leaving the operating requirements as is in the draft. The Council agrees to a 15-year-old user requirement to ride on the street as that is the age someone is allowed to get a driver’s license. Councilperson Bruning asks Chief Roberson to partner with the school district to which Chief Roberson states that school can be difficult to partner with as they have their own schedule and curriculum and notes that not all the information shared in the school makes it to the parents. Councilperson Bruning asks Ms. Lee to check with schools to see if there are any discussions of restricting use of these vehicles to and from school. Mayor Dickey notes of the changes Ms. Krstulic will make and they will discuss again at the next Council meeting. 4 NEW BUSINESS A. Resolution No. 2024 – R: Adoption of 2025 Budget Mayor Dickey notes that this has been discussed many times in previous Council meetings and the Council retreat and entertains a motion to approve Resolution No. 2024 – R: Adoption of 2025 budget. Councilperson Bruning moves to approve. Councilperson Davidson seconds. Approved 4-0 B. Application for Home Tour Event – SME SHARE Fundraiser – 6501 High Dr. Ms.Vickers greets the Council and notes in her application there is one home in the tour and one home for the patron’s party. Ms. Vickers notes she would like to request adding 5930 Oakwood Road as an additional house in Mission Hills to the homes tour.. Ms. Lee reminds Ms. Vickers and the Council that the City sends a notification to neighbors of homes on tour in advance of the tour event. Mayor Dickey recommends the Council give approval contingent on notification being sent out in advance of the tour event. Councilperson Nelson asks Ms. Vickers if there will be a tour bus to which she believes no and there has not been a bus in the past, but she will ask to confirm. Mayor Dickey entertains a motion to approve contingent of notification sent to neighboring residents to ensure they do not have objectives. Councilperson Nelson moves to approve with contingency. Councilperson Thorne seconds. Mayor Dickey reminds Ms. Vickers of the City’s sign ordinance that requires signs be placed at least 10 feet from the back of the curb to which Ms. Vickers agrees. Councilperson Bruning notes his approval and satisfaction with the organization but does not want two homes in Mission Hills on tour in the future, to which Ms. Vickers states she will pass that information along. C. Resolution No. 2024 – S: Council 5-Year Review of Stormwater Utility Fee as Required by Ordinance No. 1538 Ms. Lee explains that the stormwater utility fee ordinance includes a five-year review but does not sunset. She notes that the Council must affirm its continuation. Ms. Lee highlights in the report accomplishments achieved with the collected funds over the past five years, noting that they have leveraged some additional funding from Johnson County's stormwater funding opportunities. Ms. Lee adds, although the County’s project approval process has changes since the SUF was first adopted, the City continues to regularly apply for and maximize outside resources. Councilperson Bruning asks Ms. Lee what the state of our stormwater situation to which Ms. Lee states the City is working through the list of priorities from the Open Channel Master Plan. Ms. Lee adds that there are locations where the stormwater system needs to be the priority rather than the road and the capital improvement plan is based on road condition, but she believes in some cases the stormwater needs should be the driver. Ms. Lee notes that they have talked about hiring a firm to help identify all City owned walls and culverts and making sure those are looked at routinely for maintenance. She adds once there is an inventory the Council could revisit and update the 8-year-old Open Channel Master Plan. She notes the list to be accomplished is long and when Belinder Avenue is done next year the segment south of 69th Street to the City’s limit needs $1 million worth of stormwater improvements. Councilperson Nelson asks Ms. Lee when the SUF started to which Ms. Lee stated 2011 and then it was sunset and then reinstituted in 2019. Councilperson Nelson notes the low fee levels included in the ordinance to which Ms. Lee notes of there is a multipronged approach to managing stormwater 5 including greenspace requirements and added the Council could consider increasing the fee levels. Ms. Lee suggested looking at the fees once the Open Channel Master Plan is updated in about two years and a new list of priorities is identified. Councilperson Bruning asks Ms. Lee to also look at the sanitary sewer volumes as well as the new houses are much larger. Mayor Dickey entertains a motion for Resolution No. 2024 – S: Council 5-Year Review of Stormwater Utility Fee as Required by Ordinance No. 1538. Councilperson Bruning moves to approve. Councilperson Nelson seconds. Approve 4-0 D. Resolution No. 2024 – T: Design Guideline Revisions re: Windows & Solar Structures on Residential Properties Mayor Dickey notes to the audience that the Planning Commission considered modifications to the Design Guidelines and provides recommendations for the Council’s adoption. Ms. Clifton highlights the proposed changes regarding solar panels that are being returned to the Council from the Planning Commission. She notes that the Planning Commission’s discussion was based on results from the City wide resident survey. She notes the new revisions state that solar panels are not allowed on the street facing roof facades, but integrated solar roof systems and shingles are allowed on street facing roof facades if they meet the following criteria: Designed to cover all roof facades to create a uniform appearance and non-reflective surface and the solar shingles need to be rectangular in shape. Ms. Clifton adds the Planning Commission believes the new proposal, with the three criteria, will alleviate concerns with the original proposal. She notes the Council’s previous concerns of reflectivity and notes the new requirement of an anti-reflective surface. Ms. Clifton notes of the Council’s previous concern of shingle shape and the Commission recommends only rectangle shingles to be used. Ms. Clifton notes that the Council was also concerned with loss of trees, but the Planning Commission noted that there are fewer large trees in the front of and directly next to homes. Councilperson Bruning asks Ms. Clifton for consistent terminology with the phrase “street facing roof” as homes have projecting roofs that face the street with the sides still visible. Ms. Clifton notes that the Planning Commission discussed this and clarifies that normal solar panels cannot be on the front but can be on the side. Councilperson Bruning suggests the City use consistent language with skylights and solar panels. Ms. Clifton notes the Planning Commission’s discussion about by not allowing solar panels on the side resulting in only the rear yard being allowed. Councilperson Bruning notes his concerns with the solar panels being stuck on a house for more than 20 years even though the technology has advanced. Ms. Clifton notes that the ARB has interpreted the public view as being the front façade and allows solar panels on the side and rear. Councilperson Nelson asks Ms. Clifton how many solar panels have been installed in Mission Hills to which Ms. Clifton states that 3-4 solar panel installations have occurred in the last four years. Councilperson Nelson notes the significant pushback to solar panels on the fronts of homes in the resident survey. Councilperson Bruning asks if the guests would like to address the Council about this issue. Mr. Radecic greets the Council and states that he and his wife are long-time Mission Hills residents, and he works for a well-known local architectural firm. Mr. Radecic advocates for allowing homeowners to install solar panels on any side of their roofs, regardless of which side of the street they live on. He emphasizes the importance of reducing reliance on fossil fuels and highlights both local and national sustainability initiatives. He also notes the increasing demand on the U.S. power grid and its vulnerabilities, citing frequent outages in his area. Mr. Radecic urges the Council to reconsider current regulations to allow greater flexibility in adopting solar 6 energy, particularly given the global push toward sustainability and energy independence. Councilperson Buring asks Mr. Radecic, given his profession, if he personally believes we will see less imposing and more affordable panels in the future. Mr. Radecic highlights advancements in solar panel technology, emphasizing that newer panels are more efficient, sleeker, and visually appealing. He points out that solar tiles now resemble shingles and can generate power, showing how rapidly the technology is evolving. Mr. Radecic mentions that current panels can generate between 20% to 42% efficiency, a significant increase from earlier models. Mr. Radecic notes the limitations in panel placement on certain homes, such as north-facing roofs, drastically reduce power generation. Mr. Radecic also notes security concerns as there has been many power outages during his residency in Mission Hills. Councilperson Bruning shares his concerns about power outages and has asked Ms. Lee to keep track of these issues. Councilperson Bruning also shares his concerns about solar panels on front facades and notes this is standard for homes in Arizona but not in Mission Hills. Mr. Radecic argues against delaying decisions on solar panel regulations, warning of potential threats to the power grid from cyberattacks or other disruptions. He emphasizes that waiting a year or more to act leaves residents unprepared for increasing vulnerabilities in the nation's energy system. He urges the Council to allow residents to reduce their reliance on fossil fuels now, as power demands and grid instability will only worsen. Mr. Radecic draws parallels to other unsightly but accepted structures, like air handling units at Indian Hills Country Club, and stresses that solar panels should be viewed similarly as essential infrastructure for a sustainable future. Councilperson Thorne asks if there is a difference in cost for the panels and roof systems to which Mr. Radecic states solar roof systems are much more expensive. Mayor Dickey states that there are two issues; what has been sent to the Council today and how frequently the Council revisits these issues as new technology and peoples understanding of it changes. Mayor Dickey asks Ms. Lee if this issue can be included in a resurvey in April 2025 as he believes residents opinions may have changed. Mayor Dickey entertains a motion to approve as presented with a re-survey of residents in April 2025. Councilperson Nelson moves to approve. Councilperson Bruning seconds. Approved 4-0 The Council returns to this issue as the proposed changes to windows were not discussed. Councilperson Bruning suggests to Ms. Clifton the proposed changes to doors and windows preclude true divided light windows. Ms. Clifton states that Design Guidelines currently recommends are for true divided light windows. . Councilperson Bruning recommends it state “Or” and state both true and simulated divided light. Ms. Clifton states that simulated divided light windows have always been allowed just not recommend. Councilperson Thorne asks Ms. Clifton to clarify that the recommendation is not just for muttons in-between panes to which Ms. Clifton states that the recommendation is for external and in-between muttons. Councilperson Bruning asks Ms. Clifton to clarify if the City is recommending internal muttons as well to which Ms. Clifton states yes. Ms. Clifton clarifies stating that the City is not mandating but recommending that windows be simulated, divided light with applied mutton on the exterior and interior and in between the insulated air space. Ms. Krstulic noted this revisions to the previously approved Resolution No. 2024 – T: Design Guideline Revisions re: Windows & Solar Structures on Residential Properties. E. Resolution No. 2024 – U: Contract with Water Resources Solutions for 2025 Street and Stormwater Program Ms. Lee states that the 2025 street and stormwater improvement projects are Belinder Avenue south of Tomahawk to the City’s limits. She adds the piece of 70th Terrace that was not 7 completed a couple years ago, especially Overhill Road to Belinder Avenue. She adds the reason they stopped at Overhill Road is because there is a connected stormwater system between Overhill Road and Belinder Avenue . Councilperson Nelson asks Ms. Lee how she would explain the large difference in cost between the proposals to which Ms. Lee states the City was clear in their explanation of the project but does not have a good answer to explains the cost difference but does not have any concerns about them not understanding the scope of the project. Councilperson Bruning notes that Water Resources Solutions has done other work in the City and they should be familiar with what the City wants. Mayor Dickey entertains a motion to approve Resolution No. 2024 – U: Contract with Water Resources Solutions for 2025 Street and Stormwater Program. Councilperson Nelson approved. Councilperson Bruning seconds. Approved 4-0 REPORTS OF CITY STAFF A. City Clerk Mr. Nickles provided the Council with the calendar. Ms. Lee notes the Holiday Luncheon has been tentatively scheduled for Thursday December 19th and ask the Council if this date works for everyone and to let her know of any conflicts. B. City Administrator Ms. Lee notes that the building inspector received the structural engineering report from the Mission Hills Country Club fire and there was no structural damage, and she has no timeline for its reopening. Ms. Lee ask the Council if anyone is interested in being on the steering committee for the Comprehensive Plan Proposals. Ms. Lee adds that they do not have a specific date, but the proposals are due on September 27th and she will give the committee a couple weeks for review and convene in early to mid-October. She asks the council to let her know if they are interested. Councilperson Bruning asks Ms. Lee, in reference to the new sidewalks, if there has been feedback from residents along Indian Lane. Ms. Lee states the Mayor made some informal contacts of residents and all but one were supportive of a proposed trail. Mayor Dickey notes that the Council has determined to generally not let one person stop these projects if the majority is in favor. Councilperson Thorne asks if scooter or bikes would be allowed on the trail to which Mayor Dickey states, he believes it would be good for mountain bikes and just okay for scooters. Ms. Lee states that the material would be chat material, firm enough to walk on but not loose enough to wash away. Councilperson Nelson asks if any trees would be removed for the trail to which the Mayor states no, the trail should be able to wind through the space and not impact any trees of substance. Councilperson Thorne asks about the prioritization of sidewalks, to which Ms. Lee states that not all can be completed at once so a prioritization of the list is needed. Councilperson Thorne recommends sidewalks be added on 63rd Street Councilperson Nelson recommends 63rd Street from Wenonga Road to Aberdeen Road. Ms. Lee states that if it is agreed that 63rd Street is the priority to complete first then residents would be informed that the sidewalk if going in. Ms. Lee adds that the next step would be collecting cost estimates. Councilperson Bruning states that he recommends 69th Street. Mayor Dickey states that he believes that 69th Street could be done without going too deep into the right of way. Ms. Lee adds that to put a sidewalk on 69th Street would impact trees and stormwater infrastructure and if the sidewalk could be moved partially into the street then that would have the least impacts, but the cost would be driven up by extending the catch basins. Ms. Lee adds that the City was 8 awarded a grant by the Mid America Regional Council (MARC) for the Indian Lane Trail and she is going to ask for additional funding from MARC due to the wall needing to be fixed as a part of the trail project. Ms. Lee notes her meeting with Johnson County Wastewater (JCW) and Kansas City, MO about sanitary sewer overflows and a follow up meeting with JCW. Ms. Lee states that they will likely send a letter to Kansas City, MO as there is no plan to fix this problem. Ms. Lee notes the meeting for the new pump station house in Fairway. COUNCIL LIASION REPORTS Councilperson Bruning notes the Park Board meeting stating the plant material did well this summer was mild temperatures and rain. He notes the improvements on Belinder Circle. Councilperson Bruning notes his conversation with Mr. Carmack, City Arborist, regarding the browning pin oaks. He adds that Mr. Carmack stated that the browning is not a concern, likely from a plaque caused by excess rain. Councilperson Bruning notes how many trees have been removed from year to year, stating that 69 trees have been removed and by the end of the year it could be as much as 80. Councilperson Bruning also notes of the upcoming significant tree trimming along the parkways. Councilperson Nelson states that the BZA did not meet. Councilperson Thorns notes of the Professional Review Panel (PRP) met about the new house proposed at 6419 Sagamore Road. She states that it did not pass its second PRP meeting. She adds the Old Sagamore Community is concerned that the new house does not fit the neighborhood, and the builder is coming back with new plans which hopefully marry the architectural design to our Design Guidelines. F. Executive Session – Potential Acquisition of Real Property Councilperson Bruning moves to enter an executive session, stating “I move that the City Council recess into executive session for preliminary discussion for the potential acquisition of real property for public use, pursuant to K.S.A 75-4319(b)(6).
