Manager Fleming presented Ordinance #3168 – Amendments to Paola Municipal Code Chapter 200 – Animals to repeal the breed-specific ban and create more punitive penalties for unregistered animals who violate the City’s codes. He said the ordinance also updates the fees for dogs and cats that are impounded and brings the impounding fees in line with the charges the City pays the City of Osawatomie for these charges.

Agenda Item 9f - Consider approval of an addendum to the contract with SAM. Manager Fleming said in August, the City of Paola approved an agreement with Midland GIS Solutions, LLC, now known as SAM LLC, for Utility GPS, GIS Development, and Web-GIS Implementation. He said SAM based the agreement on an estimated 550 manholes and associated structures within the sewer system. For the water system, SAM estimated 786 features. Manager Fleming stated at this time, SAM has located and fully mapped 700 manholes and associated structures for the sewer system. He said after working in the system, they believe there are another 140 structures that are left to be mapped. So, the sewer system is estimated at 840 manholes and associated structures, which is 153% of the estimate used for the agreement. Manager Fleming said there were also discrepancies in the number of assets in the water system. SAM has currently mapped 1,187 features and estimates that the total number of water features will be close to 1,233, which is 157% of the estimate used for the agreement. Manager Fleming presented the Council a proposed addendum from SAM to the original agreement. The addendum would be for the not-to-exceed amount of $13,174.00 and would include the work to develop a complete GIS map system for both the Water and Wastewater Utilities. After some discussion Council Member Upshaw made a motion to approve the contract addendum with SAM, LLC for the not-to-exceed amount of $13,174.00 and authorize the necessary signatures.

The City’s operating account is at Security bank of KC and the payroll account is at First Option Bank. The City also has Certificates of Deposit at Security Bank of KC, First Security and First Option Bank. Bids for the CD’s are solicited from Great Southern Bank as well as Landmark National Bank. Issue Council needs to take official action to name the depositories for City funds. Summary Designating the depository for City funds is a housekeeping item that needs to be addressed annually. It is best to designate all 5 local banks to keep options open. Legal Impact (or Review) The city attorney has not been asked to review this item. Financial Impact (or Fiscal Note) Paola is fortunate enough to have 5 local financial institutions. By designating all 5 as depositories this creates some competition and allows the City to earn higher returns on deposits. Alternatives Council could choose to eliminate one of the financial institutions. Recommendations I recommend that Security Bank of KC, First Option Bank, Great Southern Bank, First Security Bank, and Landmark National Bank be named as depositories for the City of Paola. 1 Paola City Council Agenda Item 4 Memorandum SUBJECT: Annual authorization for paying claims CONTACT: Stephanie Marler, City Clerk DATE: January 12, 2021 Introduction With Council Meetings being conducted monthly, the Council has historically passed a resolution authorizing the City Manager to pay claims before approval at the regular meeting. Background In 2017 the City Council changed from bi-monthly meetings to monthly meetings. At that time the City Council adopted a Resolution that authorizes the City Manager to pay vendors in a timely fashion pursuant to KSA 12-105b(e). The League of Kansas Municipalities was consulted during the transition and it is their recommendation that the Resolution be adopted annually to keep the issue transparent to both the Governing Body and the public. Issue Resolution 2021-001 is attached for your consideration. Summary Adopting the Resolution could potentially save the City money and remain in good standing with vendors. Legal Impact (or Review) The League of Kansas Municipalities was consulted initially and it is suggested to continue to with their recommendations. Financial Impact (or Fiscal Note) There is no impact in adopting the Resolution, however should you choose not to adopt the Resolution, the City could be liable for late fees and service charges. 1 Paola City Council Agenda Item 4-c July 14, 2021 Recommendations I recommend approval of Resolution 2021-001 authorizing the City Manager to pay claims against the City pursuant to KSA 12-105b(e).

By Artie Stuteville, Mayor ATTEST: [seal] By Stephanie Marler, City Clerk Paola City Council Agenda Item 5-a Memorandum SUBJECT: Bid Award – Patrol Cars CONTACT: Sid Fleming, City Manager DATE: January 12, 2021 Background The Police Department utilizes four vehicles for its patrol operations. In 2016, four (4) Ford Interceptor SUVs were purchased and became the primary patrol vehicles. Based on the replacement schedule, these vehicles are slated to be moved out of the primary patrol rotation. The current vehicles have between 75,834 and 107,437 miles with hour readings between 8,803 and 13,323. Three of these units will be used for detective and administration purposes. One unit will also be utilized by the Community Development Department. Two Dodge Chargers and an older Ford Explorer will be used for trade-in. Summary The bid solicitation was advertised on the City of Paola’s website starting December 7, 2020, and published in the December 16​th edition of the Miami County Republic. The bid solicitation was also sent directly to several potential bidders. Four bids were received by the stated deadline of 2:00 PM on December 21, 2020. The bids are summarized in the table below. BASE BID # OF TOTAL BASE TOTAL VENDOR NET BID PRICE PRICE UNITS BID PRICE TRADE-IN New Century Dodge $ 33,489.00 4.00 $ 133,956.00 $ 8,500.00 $ 125,456.00 Louisburg Ford $ 34,576.00 4.00 $ 138,304.00 $ 7,000.00 $ 131,304.00 Olathe Ford $ 35,128.00 4.00 $ 140,512.00 $ 1,500.00 $ 139,012.00 Rusty Eck Ford Disqualified – Improper Bid Form & Not Sealed 1 Paola City Council Agenda Item 5-a January 12, 2021 Discussion Staff reviewed the four bids. Three met the general specifications, and one bid was disqualified for failing to complete the proper bid solicitation form and submit a “sealed” bid. Two vendors bid the specified Ford Interceptor SUVs and one vendor bid Dodge Durango SUVs. To better compare the two options – Ford and Dodge, staff researched historical maintenance records and generated a simplified life-cycle cost for the “patrol life” of the vehicle based on a four-year patrol cycle. Over a three year period from 2014 through 2016, the Police Department’s primary patrol vehicles were Dodge Chargers. The average estimated repair and maintenance costs for each of these vehicles was $9,959.70. In contrast, the recent fleet of Ford Interceptors averaged an estimated repair and maintenance cost of $7,584.78 over four years. Each patrol car will require additional “up-fitting” and graphics before the unit is ready for service. The “up-fitting” costs for the Ford units would be slightly less since some equipment can be repurposed from the existing patrol units as they are transitioned out of patrol service. The table below compares the total estimated life-cycle costs for the Ford and Dodge options over a four-year patrol cycle. ESTIMATE 4-YR LIFE VEHICLE PRICE MAKE UP-FITTING GRAPHICS MAINTENANCE TOTAL CYCLE COST (4 units) (Patrol-Life) per UNIT Ford $ 131,304.00 $ 22,046.96 $ 2,180.00 $ 30,339.12 $ 185,870.08 $ 46,467.52 Dodge $ 125,456.00 $ 22,735.08 $ 2,180.00 $ 53,118.40 $ 203,489.48 $ 50,872.37 Based on the review of the bids and the analysis of the estimated patrol life-cycle costs, staff recommends purchasing Ford Interceptor SUVs, and Louisburg Ford provides the lowest, qualified bid that best serves the City of Paola’s interest. Page ​2​ of ​3 Paola City Council Agenda Item 5-a January 12, 2021 Financial Impact The City plans to finance this purchase over four years, and the annual estimated payment of $42,000 was included as part of the 2021 Budget. Bids for financing options have been solicited from local banks. Upon approval of the vehicle purchase, Council will consider the financing options for the patrol cars. The purchase of four patrol units plus the necessary “up-fitting” and graphics will cost roughly $155,530.96. Based on the estimated financing option, the annual payments will be around $41,000, which is under the budgetary estimate. Recommendations Approve the bid award to Louisburg Ford for the amount of $131,304.00 and authorize the necessary signatures.
