On the 5900 Monticello emergency pipe repair project, Manning said the supplier cannot deliver the reinforced concrete box by early July because of rebar shortages. As a result, staff recommends delaying the box replacement portion of the work until June 2026. Manning said the city will still line the pipe on the west side of Monticello and repair the sinkhole area before school starts; the city will purchase the concrete boxes and have them available if an urgent failure occurs, but staff said they expect any deterioration would be gradual and that an immediate catastrophic collapse is unlikely.

Manning described the risk as manageable but warned the council that, if a sinkhole begins forming, the city could close the road and mobilize emergency replacement work. He told the council staff believes the most likely scenario is gradual settlement that can be monitored and addressed without major disruption to school traffic.

On the McEnany Drive SIP project, Manning said public meetings raised stormwater concerns from nearby residents. Staff is exploring design modifications — including potential swales and additional storm drainage to the south — and anticipates pushing the bulk of construction into 2026 to allow time for utility relocations and design revisions. Manning said the project may be let in late 2025 with major construction beginning in March 2026, and that the city does not expect significant overlap with nearby 50 First Street work.

Council members thanked staff for responding to resident concerns and for prioritizing school access; staff said they will provide schedule updates and notify council if conditions change.

Paul (city staff) said the total event budget is currently estimated at $110,000 and the organizing team believes it can secure about $30,000 in sponsorships and grants. That leaves an $80,000 estimated city funding gap. Paul said the city will return at the first meeting in July with a request for an initial $50,000 deposit to secure headliner acts and agent dates, followed by roughly $25,000 to secure production (staging, lighting, tents, generators) and an initial $5,000 for administration and early marketing.

Eddie Crane, owner of Complete Construction Services and an experienced event producer, described a downtown footprint centered on City Hall with two stages (main stage plus Aztec venue), vendor areas, and coordination with the existing Moonlight Market format. Crane said the group envisions a free event for residents that could attract both regional visitors and local audiences; he said organizers estimate roughly 1,000 people “in and out” across the downtown footprint but emphasized that precise attendance projections and ROI have not been established.

Council members asked about security, parking and shuttle options and whether the city would face ongoing budget requests. Paul said the event is being planned as a single-day, evening event (proposed Saturday, June 20, 2026), and that public-safety staffing and other operational needs are being discussed with police and regional partners; the initial funding ask is intended to secure deposits and production commitments, not final operational reimbursements.

The presentation was informational; the council did not vote on funding June 23. Paul said a formal funding request will come back to the council at the July 2025 meeting for consideration.

Kevin Manning, Shawnee’s director of public works, said the city will purchase about 5,000 tons of salt at $49.90 per ton from Independent Salt Company for a total of $249,500 to replenish depleted stores.

On transportation safety, Manning told the council the city received $700,000 in Kansas Department of Transportation (KDOT) safety funding for modifications to the Johnson Drive and Barker Road intersection and that the project will be designed this year for construction in 2026. Manning described design work that will modify superelevation and add pavement friction treatments and said the project will include tie-ins on Barker Road; staff estimates roughly $300,000 in local funding will be required in addition to the $700,000 grant.

The council also awarded a contract to Infrastructure Solutions to replace about 850 linear feet of corrugated metal pipe at multiple locations (Lake Crest, 50 Fifth Terrace and Brownridge). Manning said the work is expected to begin around Sept. 1, with approximately 90 days of construction, though start could be delayed by material availability.

Finally, the council ratified the semimonthly claims list for June 23, 2025, in the amount of $9,296,319.01.

Each of the items was brought forward as a staff recommendation and approved by motion during the meeting; council members voiced no extended debate on the individual items on the record.

Clavinidine told the council the intersection “has seen a significant increase in traffic in the last couple years,” and said that “as of March, there were at least 2 serious fatal accidents that occurred at that particular intersection,” including one she said had two Shawnee residents who perished. She asked the council to reconsider expanding industry in that area “until such time as the infrastructure meets up with the traffic demand.”

The comment came during the meeting’s public-comment period; Clavinidine said some of the increased traffic is tied to recent industrial growth on 3040 Third and nearby corridors. She said she and other residents have observed rush-hour backups at both lights at 40 Seventh and 40 Third and urged the council to observe conditions in the coming weeks before approving additional industrial development.

Clavinidine acknowledged that the highway itself is the state’s responsibility but said local land-use decisions by the city affect traffic patterns and should be weighed against infrastructure capacity. She referenced a previous unanimous council vote to permit a $30 million industrial complex at 3040 Third and Claire and urged caution until roadways can safely handle additional traffic.

The council did not take formal action on Clavinidine’s request during the June 23 meeting; her remarks were recorded as business from the floor and will be part of the public record. Staff and council members discussed other traffic and safety items later in the meeting (see public works articles), but no new motion or directive from the council about pausing development was made on the record.

Clavinidine closed by asking council members to “take some time over the next 2 weeks” to observe traffic patterns at the intersection and reassess whether further industrial permits should proceed.
