The Overland Park City Council took multiple formal actions at its March 24, 2025 meeting. Key votes, outcomes and brief details are listed below.
- Resolution 5020 — CAPER (Community Development Block Grant FY2024): Approved unanimously. Motion to adopt the CAPER and submit the final report to HUD; staff reported $765,000+ in CDBG expenditures for 2024 and will submit the corrected report to HUD by the end of March. (See CAPER item in meeting record.)
- Ordinance RD 3482 — Establish TIF District at 8036 Metcalf: Approved 11-0. Establishes the TIF district boundary only; no project plan, financing plan or redevelopment agreement was approved. Staff will negotiate agreements and require a project plan to be submitted before any financing or reimbursements are authorized.
- Change Order No. 3 — Clock Tower Landing (construction manager agreement with McCownGordon Construction LLC): Approved. Authorizes $4,480,234 for structural concrete, retaining walls, slab on grade, structural steel, glulam timbers for the pavilion, special inspections and owner contingency. Staff said the work is within the originally approved project budget and that concrete work is expected to begin in May with vertical construction in July; estimated completion remains May 2026.
- Ordinance TDD3483 — Termination of Oak Park Mall Transportation Development District sales tax: Approved. Staff said the refunded bonds will be fully redeemed on April 1, 2025, and the TDD sales tax (a half-cent) will discontinue effective July 1, 2025. Staff said any excess revenues, if they occur, would be held until the council decides on an appropriate governmental use.
- Ordinance B3484 — Economic development revenue bonds for Stone Manor (Strang Car Barn): Approved. The ordinance authorizes issuance of revenue bonds related to the renovation project; staff said renovations are nearing completion and the bond issuance finalizes a process started last fall.
- 2026–2035 Financial Plan / CIP and Maintenance Program (scheduling and hearings): Council approved scheduling public hearings and the process to move the 2026–2035 financial plan, capital improvement program and maintenance program forward for public hearings and adoption. The motion carried 10-1; Councilmember Healy voted no while noting concerns over mature tree removal tied to a Metcalf pedestrian-trail project and seeking further mitigation discussions with staff.
- Insurance program and vendor approvals (consent/committee actions): The council approved the 2025–2026 property and liability insurance program (named carriers and amounts were presented), selected Kansas Occupational Medicine Services LLC for occupational health and safety services, authorized negotiation of a third amendment to the agreement with Cyberforce Q LLC for managed security services (not to exceed $333,724 for two years), and adopted Resolution 5033 authorizing certain check issuance and purchasing-card use prior to expenditure-ordinance approval. Vote tallies were recorded as unanimous where noted.
Each action above was recorded in the meeting minutes or roll call where applicable. For items that established districts, authorized contracts, or set hearings, staff indicated further steps (negotiations, project plans, feasibility analyses, or construction schedules) would return to council for subsequent approval.
