This is a 36-month agreement, subject to annual appropriation, at fixed rate of $199,863.50 per year ($599,590.50 total) based on current license volume. 5. Resolution authorizing the Mayor to enter into an agreement with All City Management Services for school crossing guard services for 2017-2018 school year Each year the City contracts with an outside entity to provide school crossing guard services. This agreement secures these services for the 2017-2018 school year.
6. Resolution authorizing the Mayor to enter into the Ambulance Transport Agreement Addendum No. 1 with the Johnson County Board of Commissioners This Addendum updates the 2009 Ambulance Transport Agreement with Med-Act to reflect the parties' agreement to adhere to current best practices on EMS incident response times. 7. Acceptance for Maintenance - Canyon Farms Golf Clubhouse - 87th Street and Lennox Signal Improvements This project constructed signal improvements to the existing signal located at 87th Street and Lennox. The improvements included installing traffic signal detection loops, converting green yield signal heads to yellow flashing arrow heads along with modifications to the traffic signal controller. 8. Resolution amending Resolution 2016-56 and the associated Payment In Lieu of Taxes Agreement extending the time to issue industrial revenue bonds by an additional sixty days. (Lackman Business Park Building E) On April 19, 2016 the City issued its resolution of intent (Resolution 2016-56) to issue approximately $2,000,000 in IRBs for the acquisition and construction of an office/warehouse facility referred to as Building E, located on Lot 8 of the Lackman Business Center. Resolution 2016-56 expires on June 30, 2017. Although the project was recently completed, the parties desire to extend the effective date of Resolution 2016-56 until August 31, 2017 to allow sufficient time to complete the Bond issue. The resolution also approves and authorizes the Mayor to execute an amended PILOT Agreement to include this same 60-day extension to issue Bonds. 9. Resolution approving a Third Addendum to the Property Conveyance Agreement with the Johnson County Library This Third Addendum to Property Conveyance Agreement addresses a few remaining items required before the Library closes on the property at the Civic Campus. The Addendum (1) sets out a process whereby the City and Library will coordinate construction of the south Lower Commons stairway to avoid tearing out City construction with the Library construction; (2) grants an encroachment to the Library for several roof overhangs; (3) grants an encroachment to the City for a grade beam and pier associated with the parking garage and located within the property to be conveyed to the Library; and (4) removes the Shared Parking & Property Maintenance Agreement approved as part of the Second Addendum so that it is a separate "stand alone" agreement.
10. Resolution approving a Shared Parking & Property Maintenance Agreement with the Johnson County Library Board The City approved a Shared Parking & Maintenance Agreement with the Library as part of the Second Addendum to the Property Conveyance Agreement but because the Parking & Maintenance Agreement deals with ongoing operations and will extend long after the parties close on the Library property, staff felt it made sense to separate the agreement from the Property Conveyance Agreement. The only substantive changes added to the agreement are to increase the annual fee from $15,750 to $17,100 and to allow the Library to use the trash dumpsters in the loading dock for an additional fee to the City. 11. Ordinance amending Lenexa City Code Section 182.1 of the 2015 Edition of the Standard Traffic Ordinance, as incorporated by reference in Section 3-8-A-1, and repealing the existing Section 182.1 The City incorporates by reference the Standard Traffic Ordinance for Kansas Cities (STO) on a regular basis to stay current with changes in the law. The latest version incorporated was the 2015 edition, incorporated by the City on October 6, 2015. This Ordinance will amend the 2015 edition of the STO, specifically section 182.1 concerning seat belts, to reflect changes made to seatbelt laws during the 2017 Legislative Session. 12. Resolution authorizing the Mayor to consent to the enlargement of the Consolidated Main Sewer District of Johnson County on property located north of the intersection of 96th Street and Lone Elm Road This resolution consents to the enlargement of the Consolidated Main Sewer District of Johnson County within the City. The enlargement of the sewer district is necessary to serve the Timber Rock subdivision located north of the intersection of 96th Street and Lone Elm Road. 13. Resolution granting a permanent utility easement to Kansas City Power & Light Company in Lenexa City Center The proposed permanent Kansas City Power & Light easement is located at the northwest corner of 88th Street and Penrose and will allow installation of new conduit and electrical equipment to serve the proposed development. 14. Acceptance of dedication of land for public purposes of the final plat for The Enclave at Highland Crest located in the vicinity south of 101st Street between Theden Circle
and Sunset Drive PT17-12F This grants the City right-of-way and easements as shown on the final plat for The Enclave at Highland Crest. 15.

BOARD RECOMMENDATIONS 18. An ordinance granting a ten-year Special Use Permit for Laura Jones Daycare, located at 15731 West 81st Street SU17-05 An ordinance granting a ten-year special use permit renewal to allow an in-home daycare under the general category, providing care for 7 to 12 individuals.
Ms. Tilton presented information on this item. No one spoke at Planning Commission Public Hearing on June 5 and the Planning Commission recommended approval. The applicant, Laura Jones - 15731 W. 81st Street, was present and stepped forward to offer comments. Ms. Jones stated she did not receive a receipt for the Special Use Permit fees she was required to pay. She requested the Governing Body consider the timing of when renewal notifications are sent out. Ms. Jones stated she only had 12 days notice prior to renewal notification and the renewal fee and mailing fees created a financial hardship. She stated other municipalities do not charge a fee for a Special Use Permit and requested information on where her money was being utilized. She requested that Lenexa officials be cognizant of small business owners and how fees impact their livelihood. Ms. Yocham responded that a receipt would be provided to Ms. Jones and she addressed the use of Special Use Permit fees. Approximately ten years ago, at the request of day care providers at the time, Lenexa increased the time frame between permit renewals. Due to the longer length of time between renewals, applications go through a more extensive review because they are done less often. Fees are used to help cover increased staff costs. Ms. Yocham apologized that more notice was not given and will look into it with Community Development staff. Mayor Boehm thanked Ms. Jones for her feedback. Councilmember Karlin asked if the application fee of $350 is the same regardless of the permit duration. Ms. Yocham responded that it is. A motion to approve Item 18 was made by Councilmember Stuke, seconded by Councilmember Lemons. Motion passed unanimously. 19. An ordinance approving a Special Use Permit for Brazil Academy, located at 11439-11445 Strang Line. SU17-06. An ordinance approving a Special Use Permit to allow Personal Instruction, General (martial arts/dance instruction and training for adults and children) in the BP-1 zoning district. Ms. Tilton presented information regarding this application stating that the Golden Criteria were utilized to evaluate the permit request and allowing this use will not negatively impact the surrounding property. At the June 5 Planning Commission meeting no one spoke at the Public Hearing and the Planning Commission recommended approval. The applicant, Luis Pinto, was present. There were no questions. A motion to approve Item 19 was made by Councilmember Karlin, seconded by Councilmember Nolte. Motion passed unanimously.
20. North Reserve Park at the Lenexa City Center. CONTINUED FROM THE MAY 16, 2017 CITY COUNCIL MEETING a. An ordinance approving a permanent Special Use Permit for North Reserve Park at the Lenexa City Center to allow single family homes within the CC, Planned City Center Zoning District SU17-04 b. Revised Final Plan for North Reserve Park at the Lenexa City Center PL17-01FR c. Acceptance and dedication of land for public purposes as shown on the Final Plat for North Reserve Park at the Lenexa City Center PT17-08F This request consists of three action items: a Special Use Permit to allow single-family detached residences in the CC, Planned City Center Zoning District; a Revised Final Plan showing the proposed improvements to the property including areas of common open space and the architecture of the proposed single-family residences; and granting to the City utility and drainage easements as shown on the Final Plat for North Reserve Park. The subject property is located at the northwesterly quadrant of Penrose Lane and Elmridge Street in City Center North. Ms. Tilton gave the presentation on this item which was continued from the May 16, 2017 City Council meeting to allow the developer to review architectural and off-street parking concerns. The developer has worked with their architect to add dormers to break up the long roof expanse, increased the prominence of gabled roofs, and shown greater use of colors and materials to avoid monotony. The applicant, Jessica Spaulding, was present along with Josh Harrold and James Pfeiffer from BNIM, the architects on the project. Councilmember Karlin inquired about the homes being detached versus attached. Ms. Spaulding represented that they did explore that option but they felt it was important to bring down the density and have detached, single-family homes with a smaller footprint. Councilmember Karlin requested clarification about the homes being rented or owned and what the square footage and pricing might be. Ms. Spaulding stated the homes would be owned, and approximately 2500 square feet with options for basements for additional space. Pricing would be just under $500,000. Councilmember Karlin asked whether the alley way (Central Drive) would be city owned or private. Ms. Spaulding stated it would be privately-owned and developer-maintained. Councilmember Knipp inquired as to how residents would choose exterior paint colors. Ms. Spaulding stated they would have guided paint choices. Councilmember Stuke inquired about the parking resolution. Ms. Spaulding stated that
each driveway will have room for two cars to park and green space has been alleviated to accommodate six guest parking spaces. A motion to approve Item 20a was made by Councilmember Knipp, seconded by Councilmember Lemons. Motion passed unanimously. A motion to approve Item 20b was made by Councilmember Nolte, seconded by Karlin. Motion passed unanimously.

These bonds are not backed by the full faith and credit of the city and the applicant is responsible for bond payback and all fees associated with the project. There was a slight change to the PILOT agreement included in the packet and it has been corrected to show the owners and their ownership interest amounts. The applicant was present for any questions.

Resolution consenting to refinancing of a mortgage in connection with a project financed with industrial revenue bonds The City issued its industrial revenue bonds for this multi-family residential housing project in December 2016. The owner previously secured a mortgage on the project as part of its construction financing with BOKF, N.A. and is moving to permanent financing with Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance Company. In accordance with the bond documents, the owner must obtain City consent prior to assigning or mortgaging its interest in the project. This resolution grants City consent for the owner to enter into a mortgage with the new lender. Ms. Harmison presented information on this item and thanked the Governing Body for hearing the matter as New Business as it is time sensitive. As part of the bond
documents issued in December, the city is required to consent to assignment of the mortgage. The applicant is closing on their mortgage later in the week thus the time sensitivity of the matter. Staff recommends approval. A motion to approve Item 23 was made by Councilmember Lemons, seconded by Councilmember Knipp. Motion passed unanimously. There was no business from the floor. There were no councilmember reports.
