Date: Wednesday, March 19, 2025 7:14:39 AM Caution: This is an External Message - Please be cautious when opening links or attachments “I would like to add to the city’s “Women’s History Month Proclamation”. Experts say that women often make better leaders than men. So, let’s see how Webster has been doing the last 40 years or so. Women represent a little more than half, or 53%, of Webster’s total population of 23,000, but consider that we have had a woman Mayor for the past 39 years! Over 70% of WG City Council members are women. Marie, I believe, is Webster’s first ever woman City Manager with several talented women on City Staff, including Katie, Karen, Renee and Tiara. Over 70% of WG School Board members are women, with a new woman Superintendent, Jana Parker, just hired. 77% of our public-school teachers are women. 7 of 9 of our WGSD School Principals are women. 7 of 10 of our other Webster School Principals are women. Women lead at least half of the city’s boards & commissions, businesses, clergy and civic organizations. I could go on. But, it is safe to say that in Webster Groves, WOMEN RULE!!! As such, as part of our “Women’s History Month” recognition, may I please celebrate by name just a few of the many City Council & Staff women leaders who have significantly shaped and positively made a difference in our city’s history who are no longer with us or are no longer serving in office. This esteemed group includes: Henrietta Ambrose: the first African-American ever elected to serve on City Council in 1986. 39 years of 4 women WG Mayors & counting: Glenn Sheffield (1986-1994); Terri Williams (1994-1998); Gerry Welch (1998 – 2022); and current Mayor Laura Arnold (2022 – Current). Past women City Council members: Kathy Hart; Toni Hunt; Debi Salberg; Jeanne Kirkton; and Joan Esserman. Past women City Staff members: Joan Jadali; Jen Starkey; Karen Beck; Dawn Cole; Mara Perry; Jennifer Conrad; and Vera Cavato. It is with deep gratitude that we salute all of these women - and ALL of the women - of Webster Groves!!! One final editorial comment: despite the leadership and accomplishments of women across the nation, even today – over 100 years since women won the right to vote via the 19th Amendment in 1920 and the Feminist Movement of the 1960’s – women only make 80 cents on average for every $1.00 a man makes. Of all of the many inequities and injustices that exist in the world, this is certainly one at the top of the heap.

REMARKS FROM THE COMMUNITYAND VISITORS Dave Buck, 6 Colonial Village, spoke on Women’s History Month, highlighting his mom, Virginia Daughtery Buck’s dedication to her community and peace. Some of her accomplishments included being the first woman elected to run the United Way of the Plaines campaign. And she stood with the Black community when Martin Luther King was shot. He said she was a woman of courage and beloved by many. Mike Buechter, 864 Providence Ave, gave constructive feedback on the Stormwater Master Plan. He thought that the master plan should address Webster geology, specifically Karst - sinkholes. He thinks it would be beneficial to catalog Karst - sinkholes which might be a separate project. He referenced the Missouri Department of Conservation as a potential guide for cataloging Karst – sinkholes. He also suggested it also would be worthwhile for the City to have recommendations related to pesticides and construction in relation to sinkholes. NEW BUSINESS – MAYOR, COUNCILMEMBERS, CITY ATTORNEY, CITY MANAGER No New Business. March 4, 2025 NEW BUSINESS STORMWATER MASTER PLAN PRESENTATION Director of Public Works Sinan Alpaslan, and Intuition & Logic’s Tim Dean presented the Stormwater Master Plan [Exhibit 1]. Council discussed several points with the presenters, the City Manager, and City Attorney. Project priority would be given to areas with flooding issues and channel restoration or rehabilitation issues that affect structures, wetlands, conservation areas, parks, i.e. public infrastructure. It was recommended Webster Groves have a collaborative partnership with MSD because both have limited resources for their respective projects. Some projects could piggy-back on each other. In the beginning, the majority of work will be contracted because it’s part of MSD infrastructure. Later, some work can be in-house, especially if it’s channel work. Similar plans have been adopted by Ladue, Creve Coeur, Wildwood, Chesterfield, and Maryland Heights (recently completed). Funding for stormwater projects would come from Prop S, and hopefully various federally funded grants. Those grants probably won’t disappear, but will be highly competitive because there are more intense rainstorms and rapid development that Webster and many municipalities will be forced to address. CIP costs include engineering construction design and construction management. The recommended .7 – 1 FTE will be for the City management of the Stormwater Master Plan. It will include coordinating contracts for the engineers or construction contractors and making sure payments are being processed. Recommendations for this FTE would be for a project manager with an engineering background. The position would impact funding. However, the project manager would not be needed until mid-late first year after adoption, or until design is completed. Sinkholes are important geologic features in Webster that do cause problems. It is difficult to design around sinkholes as they contain unknowns and the potential for more. It is known that stormwater discharges into them, but not where it goes. MSD faces similar problems with sinkholes. GIS mapping has been done on known sinkholes, and there is an added line in GIS mapping background data. The known sinkholes are incorporated into various CIP, and a line item has been added for sinkhole investigations. Council would like a copy of the full Stormwater Master Plan. It will be made available on Sharepoint. The City Attorney suggested that if the plan is adopted, it would become part of an ordinance, so it is enforceable, and will authorize funding of projects, per project. He also suggested keeping the ordinance general -- without specific timelines. Mayor Arnold suggested reviewing accomplishments, and needs annually, since projects are tied to the CIP which affects the budget, and the budget is reviewed annually. BILL #9277 - FIRST & SECOND READING Councilmember Hasemeier introduced BILL #9277 – AN ORDINANCE AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE, ON BEHALF OF THE CITY OF WEBSTER GROVES, A PERMANENT PEDESTRIAN EASEMENT AND TRAFFIC SIGNAL EASEMENT TO THE ST. LOUIS COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION AND PUBLIC WORKS RELATED TO A PORTION OF PROPERTY LOCATED BY 845 MARSHALL 2 March 4, 2025 AVE., ASSOCIATED WITH FEDERAL PROJECT NO. STP-5613 (610), and at the Councilmember’s request, the Bill was read twice, first and second times by title only and placed on the agenda for future consideration of the Council. Prior to the second reading, Council clarified the timeline on this project with Mr. Alpaslan. He said this was a County project at Laclede Station Rd and Hanley Rd. The County is in the right- of-way phase for easements. They will then move to construction. Estimated completion is 2026 but it could be sooner. Laclede Station Rd will be resurfaced and there will be intersection improvements. CONSENT AGENDA Prior to the Consent Agenda vote, a motion was made by Councilmember Hixson Shepherd, seconded by Councilmember Bliss, to remove Item 5, Resolution #2025-10 for separate vote and discussion. Mayor Arnold called for the vote to remove Item 5 from the Consent Agenda for separate discussion and vote. AYES: BLISS, SMITH, ALEXANDER, HIXSON SHEPHERD, HASEMEIER, ARNOLD NOES: FRANKLIN Mayor Arnold stated that the item was removed for discussion and a separate vote. A motion was made by Councilmember Alexander, seconded by Councilmember Hixson Shepherd, to approve the remaining items on the Consent Agenda. Prior to the Consent Agenda vote, there was a discussion led by Deputy City Manager of Strategic Innovation, Scott Davis, about Item 4, Resolution #2025-09. Originally, an estimated $1.7 million was designated in advance of the design to renovate the 30- year-old Ice Rink that would include slab replacement, HVAC work, new bleachers, etc. However, the approved design firm corrected the estimate to $4.2 million. Mr. Davis is working on value engineering to bring the costs down. He has set the cap on the renovation at $4 million. This resolution is time sensitive so that construction starts in March and completes in August. Other time sensitive factors include that Kirkwood’s Ice Rink is slated for renovation the following summer. It would not be ideal for both facilities to be down at the same time. If Webster’s renovation is delayed, it could not be started until 3 years out. A delay would also escalate labor and materials costs due to inflation. Previously unknown factors contributing to the cost increase is the subsurface soils removal. The estimated subsurface soil removal is of 4’ of soil removal, but it could go down to bedrock (12’- 14’). This is because the heat-loop went out 10 years ago, and the soil has been constantly frozen since. There is a contingency fee of $350,000 built into the $4 million to cover the soils issue. The renovation could affect future Prop W projects. Mr. Davis is hopeful of replenishing funds with grants. Public input will guide other big-ticket projects, and as smaller projects come in there may be some cost savings. For example, the solar project has rebates of 30% available that are not factored into costs which would be an estimated savings of $400,000 returned. It was noted that 3 March 4, 2025 the Ice Rink is the biggest revenue producing facility, +/- $800,000, with expenses being about half which allows for other Parks & Rec facilities that don’t exceed their revenue to operate. Mayor Arnold concluded the discussion that Council would like a status update after the pool is finished to discuss future projects. Dr. Peoples believes this is plausible especially since there are public engagement sessions coming up in late summer. Mayor Arnold called for the vote on the Consent Agenda. AYES: FRANKLIN, SMITH, ALEXANDER, HIXSON SHEPHERD, HASEMEIER, ARNOLD, BLISS NOES: NONE Mayor Arnold stated that the Consent Agenda was approved. The following Consent Agenda was approved: • Approval of Minutes – February 18, 2025 • Resolution #2025-07 – Authorizing the City Manager to Approve Firehouse #1 Bathroom Project Change Orders • Resolution #2025-08 – Accepting MoDOT Grants for Police Services and Equipment for FY-2026 • Resolution #2025-09 – Authorizing the City Manager to Enter into an Agreement for the Construction Portion of the Design-Build Services for the Ice Rink Renovation • Liquor License - Application for Temporary Liquor License for Mary Queen of Peace Church, 676 W. Lockwood Avenue, to Sell Beer and Wine by the Drink for Consumption on the Premises Where Sold at Their Spring Festival on April 25, 2025 and April 26, 2025 RESOLUTION #2025-10 AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO PURCHASE A DIGITAL MESSAGE MARQUEE SIGN FOR CITY HALL, AND AMENDING THE BUDGET FOR FY-2025 Following the consent agenda vote, Councilmember Bliss made a motion, which was seconded by Councilmember Smith, to adopt Resolution #2025-10. Mr. Davis and Dr. Peoples clarified points about the sign which would allow for multiple messages throughout the week, higher public engagement, plus less staff time changing the sign letter by letter. Also, it would allow for remote and scheduled programming, late openings and emergency notifications, and overall modernization, all of which leads to staff efficiency. It is a big-ticket item, but it will last for years. Additionally, there will be 2 solar lights added to light the flagpole. Mayor Arnold called for the vote on Resolution #2025-10. AYES: SMITH, ALEXANDER, HASEMEIER, ARNOLD, BLISS, FRANKLIN NOES: HIXSON SHEPHERD Mayor Arnold stated that Resolution #2025-10 was approved. APPOINTMENTS TO BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS Joe Dreste was appointed to the Business Development Commission. 4 March 4, 2025 Executive (Closed) Session Councilmember Bliss called for a motion, which was seconded by Councilmember Smith, to go into Executive Closed Session per Personnel [MO Statute 610.021 (3)] Mayor Arnold called for the vote to go into Executive (Closed) Session. AYES:ALEXANDER, HIXSON SHEPHERD, HASEMEIER, ARNOLD, BLISS, FRANKLIN, SMITH NOES: NONE Mayor Arnold stated that the Council would go into Executive (Closed) Session. Adjournment There being no further business to come before the City Council, the meeting was adjourned at 10:23 p.m. on motion of the Mayor, duly seconded. PASSED AND APPROVED this _______day of ____________________ 2025. ________________________ Mayor ______________ City Clerk 5 EXHIBIT 1 City of Webster Groves Stormwater Management Plan Council Presentation 03/04/2025 EXHIBIT 1 Stormwater Master Planning • City Planning Effort • Previous Efforts – 2002 Stormwater Master Improvement Plan • Overall Goals – Updated Master Plan – Integrate Public Input – Develop Prioritization Ranking Methodology EXHIBIT 1 Stormwater Management Plan Goals & Objectives Goal - Develop planning tools and capital improvement projects to address water quality, stream stability, and stormwater infrastructure and drainage issues. Study Objectives • Maintain a proactive public involvement process • Identify needed Capital Improvement Projects (CIPs) for stormwater issues • Quantify existing hydrologic and hydraulic data • Map stream corridors • Evaluate stormwater problem sites • Develop prioritization ranking method EXHIBIT 1 Stormwater Management Plan Major Study Components Public Involvement Watershed Inventory Hydraulics Watershed Management Plan Stream Stability Hydrology Stormwater Problem Sites EXHIBIT 1 Stormwater Management Plan Benefits • Engineering-based tool to guide the City in choosing projects for the Stormwater program. • Maximize benefits to residents. • Reduction of risks to public safety, public health, and damage to public infrastructure and private property. • Allows the City to secure grant funding. – More funding allows the City to complete more projects in a shorter period of time. EXHIBIT 1 Stormwater Management Plan Overview Phases The planning process – in all phases – has been collaborative, transparent, and inclusive Phase Identify stormwater issues Phase 2 Review identified issues Phase 3 Categorize issues EXHIBIT 1 Phase 1 – Identify Stormwater Issues • Issues reported through the online survey. (A total of 406 responses were received) • Historical information provided by the City. EXHIBIT 1 Updated Data Survey Responses Survey responses Received 406 Number of stormwater issues identified from responses 639 Complaint Types Yard Flooding 233 Street Flooding 176 Structure Flooding 69 Leaky Basement 72 Channel / Overland Flow Erosion 86 Current CIPs Developed Stormwater issues addressed 325 CIP Flooding 65 CIP Channel Erosion 37 EXHIBIT 1 Phase 1 – Identify Stormwater Issues • Engineers conducted channel condition assessments. – Over 8.5 miles of stream field observation. – Methodical, engineering-based assessment system. – Consistent Scoring. • I&L has completed 54 stormwater management plans. • I&L has assessed over 1,000 miles of creeks and streams (boots on the ground). EXHIBIT 1 Phase 2 – Review Identified Issues • Review and Group issues – 651 reported issues – 325 issues incorporated into 102 problem areas – 326 issues were not developed into CIPs • Conduct Site Visits at all locations • Complete Desktop Review – Historical info – FEMA maps – MSD Databases • Develop Solutions • Create Cost Estimates EXHIBIT 1 Phase 3 – Categorize Issues Prioritization Ranking System – Based on MSD’s system • An established, widely-used scoring system in our area • Solid engineering basis • Aligning with MSD helps with possible future funding opportunities • City tailored the system to Webster Groves – This ranking system was consistently applied to all identified issues across the City. – The system will be consistently applied moving forward to score issues that will come up in the future. – Every project has an equal chance of becoming a public project because it is scored under the same system. Higher scores do not guarantee that an issue will have a publicly-funded solution EXHIBIT 1 Phase 3 – Categorize Issues Adjustments from MSD – Threatened Roadway – weighting factor for type of roadway (heavily traveled road versus lightly used side streets) and a point adjustment factor for undermined/failing bridges. – Threats to Natural Resources (parks, wetlands, continuous woods, etc.). – Condition of existing stormwater system. – Preservation of natural resources. – Conservation Easements. EXHIBIT 1 Phase 3 – Categorize Issues Prioritization Ranking System – Projects are scored based on risks, benefits, and estimated costs. • Higher risks can earn higher scores – for example: structural flooding scores higher than yard erosion • Scores are not based on the number of years a problem has existed – Priority is Structural Flooding and Public Safety Issues. – Followed by Highest Benefit. • More affected residents, higher score – The system is a guide and decision-making tool, not a guarantee a project will be completed. – Re-Scoring only if site conditions have changed. EXHIBIT 1 Phase 3 – Categorize Issues Project Categories: 1. Channel 2. Area Flooding EXHIBIT 1 How identified stormwater issues can become City-funded projects City staff and the City Council can use discretion and best judgement to ultimately determine what projects are included in the CIP The Stormwater Department then recommends City Council Approves the project. EXHIBIT 1 Phase 3 Program Results Project Type Quantity Cost (in millions) 1. Channel 37 $24.7 2. Flooding 65 $21.6 Program Totals 102 $46.3 1. Channel 2.

Funding allocation will include City's stormwater project management workforce (Addition of 0.7 FTE to 1 FTE is estimated). Implementation • The ranking of identified issues will be used by City Staff and City Council to select and approve projects. • Projects will be listed in the City’s CIP. • New stormwater issues will be reviewed, ranked, and added to the list as needed – Residents should continue to report stormwater issues. EXHIBIT 1 Thank You!!!
