MAYOR’S REPORT Extension Appointment – Mayor Jones said he will report back to the Board on March 10 regarding this appointment. Phase II MSD Storm Water Application – Mayor Jones said this is a permit that must be signed in order to participate in the program sponsored by the Missouri Department of Natural Resources. It has already been signed by the Mayors of other cities in the area. He asked for approval of the Board for his signature on this application. A motion was made CITY ADMINISTRATOR’S REPORT Flat Fee Business Licenses: City Administrator Kuntz said this is a recommendation to adjust the flat fee portion of the business license fee formula. Board approval was given at the last meeting to adjust the gross receipts portion of the business license. A flat fee is paid by businesses that do not generate retail sales. He recommended a combination $100 minimum fee and a 10¢ per square foot charge would put this license on average with the other communities in the area. This reflects the economics of the situation. This would be a $100 minimum or a 10¢ per square foot charge, whichever is larger. This would be a November ballot issue. A motion was made Petition Fees: City Administrator Kuntz said this is regarding an adjustment in the petitioning fees to reflect the increasing cost of advertising and staff time involved in the review. This also would be a November ballot issue. This is an analysis based on the actual cost. A motion was made Kehrs Mill / Holloway Signal / Roadway: City Administrator Kuntz said this roadway is proposed for reconstruction and improvement in 2004. The professional services must be done in 2003 for bid preparation. This was not a consent item because the City Engineer is recommending Kuhlman Design Group, the second lowest bid, on the roadway design work. One contract is for the signal specifications and plans proposal by Crawford, Bunte, Brammeier, and the other is for the engineering and design work by Kuhlman. Both are within budget for the project. The low bidder was judged to not have the minimum experience and qualifications for this work. A motion was made Alderman Suozzi said a resident who lives at that intersection has expressed concern about getting in and out of his driveway. She would like this concern to be considered in the design proposal. 2003 Street Improvements: City Administrator Kuntz said in the efforts to provide expanded street improvements on a cost effective basis, he asked the Board to approve the use of NovaChip instead of microsurfacing in limited applications. This will give a structural improvement to the roadway. Ballwin Towne Center Redevelopment: City Administrator Kuntz said the proposal will be reviewed for the redevelopment of Ballwin Towne Center. Additional information will be provided at the next Board meeting. CITY ATTORNEY’S REPORT City Attorney Lucchesi said he has served complaints concerning The Pointe. Settlements have not been determined. ALDERMANIC COMMENTS Alderman Suozzi said the Public Works Committee met with Midwest Waste regarding the recycling program. The proposal was made to increase the recycling bill to $2.43 with an opt out option being offered to the residents. She asked City Attorney Lucchesi to review the proposed change to the contract with Midwest Waste. She asked that the Committee minutes be prepared so that the Board can understand what was discussed and the motion that was made. Alderman Robinson asked if these changes can be made without going out to bid. City Attorney Lucchesi said there is no requirement for a 4th class city in the State of Missouri to bid anything. Ballwin uses the bid process because it’s the smart thing to do, but there’s no requirement. The extension could be done without a bid. Alderman Robinson said a public hearing on the Midwest Waste contract should not be held at the same meeting where salient legislation is presented. This gives the appearance that the decision has already been made regardless of the outcome of the public hearing. Alderman Gatton suggested a public hearing at the first meeting in April regarding the change to the contract. Legislation could then be presented at the 2nd meeting in April. Mayor Jones said the contract is in effect until December 31, 2004. It wouldn’t be put out for bid at this time anyway. Putting it out for bid would be premature. A motion was made Adjourn: A motion was made by Alderman Buermann and seconded by Alderman Lembke to adjourn. The motion passed unanimously and the meeting was adjourned at 7:50 p.m.
