Volkert (for Ameren Missouri) and Fred Luth & Sons presented two separate easement requests to the Real Estate Committee.

Roger Osteroff (Volkert, on behalf of Ameren Missouri) said Ameren seeks to widen a 15‑foot electric transmission easement across Gateway STEM property (5101 McRae Ave) by roughly another 20 feet so vegetation and structures will be kept clear of high‑voltage lines. Ameren’s packet lists a one‑time consideration for the district (packet materials indicate an amount; a number of roughly $5,000 appears in the materials). Osteroff said no poles or new construction are planned on school property and that the easement is for vegetation/clearance and corridor protection.

Representatives from Fred Luth & Sons (John Patterson and Dave Bodner) said they are relocating a critical water transmission line to facilitate a VA‑project construction sequence. They explained a design constraint prevents a shutdown tie‑in at Grand and Belle and said the preferred alternative would cross a very small triangular corner of Clyde C. Miller property. They said impacts to school operations are not anticipated, that any disturbed sidewalk/landscaping would be restored, and that several long‑lead components push some work into spring; they requested a timely decision to avoid procurement delays.

Committee members asked for clarified maps, written easement drafts and confirmed that both requests would come back for committee approval; staff and proposers agreed to provide price and legal easement language and requested prompt direction because procurement and construction schedules are affected.
