Lee's Summit council adopts traffic rules, $21M GMP for renovations, engineering increases and development bond authorization
Summary
At its Dec. 16 meeting the Lee's Summit City Council approved multiple ordinances: amendments to parking rules, a $21 million guaranteed maximum price for joint operations/police-courts renovations, increases to engineering contracts for Sampson Road and Longview- Hook Road work, and authorization for up to $26.1 million in industrial development bonds for Douglas Station Apartments.
The Lee's Summit City Council moved and adopted a series of ordinances on Dec. 16 following a joint workshop with the Planning Commission.
Key council actions (Votes at a glance):
- Bill 24-219: Ordinance amending Chapter 29 (traffic and motor vehicles) to revise stopping, standing and parking restrictions. Outcome: Adopted unanimously. (motion/second recorded; roll call recorded)
- Bill 24-220: Amendment to the agreement with Titan Built LLC to set Guaranteed Maximum Price 3 (GMP 3) for the Joint Operations Facility and Police Courts Phase 2 renovations project in the amount of approximately $21,000,000. Outcome: Adopted unanimously. The ordinance authorizes the city manager to execute the amendment.
- Bill 24-221: Modification No. 1 to an engineering-services agreement for Sampson Road bridge replacement and stormwater improvements (RFQ 2023041) with Wilson & Company: increase of $573,340 for an amended not-to-exceed amount of $1,157,875. Outcome: Adopted unanimously.
- Bill 24-222: Modification No. 6 to professional engineering services for prior road improvements from Longview Road to Hook Road (RFQ 2020046) with TransSystems: increase of $198,271. Outcome: Adopted unanimously.
- Bill 24-218: Ordinance authorizing the issuance of taxable industrial development revenue bonds (not to exceed $26,105,000) in connection with the Douglas Station Apartments project. Outcome: Adopted (record indicates a split recorded as "62" in the transcript; council summary recorded the ordinance as adopted).
Council member Shields moved several of the measures and Mayor (meeting chair) called for recorded votes or voice votes as allowed by procedure; multiple motions were seconded by Council member Carlisle or Hodges as shown in the record. Where the transcript records unanimous adoption, the council recorded the approvals as such; the industrial revenue bond ordinance was recorded as adopted with a roll-call result noted in the minutes.
What this means: The GMP amendment and the engineering modifications move capital projects forward and authorize contract and budget adjustments. The industrial development bonds authorize a financing mechanism for the Douglas Station Apartments project; bond issuance and final terms will follow the city's standard financing and documentation processes.
Procedural note: All adopted items will be posted in the city's ordinance record and executed by the city manager where contracts require signature authority.
