CITY OF BELTON, MISSOURI CITY COUNCIL MEETING Date: Tuesday, January 26, 2016 Place: City Hall Annex, 520 Main Street, Belton, Mo STAFF REPORT REGARDING TXRH CID PETITION AND PUBLIC HEARING 1. Public Notice In accordance with the Community Improvement District Act, R.S.Mo. Sections 67.1401 et seq. ("CID Act"), Staff prepared, delivered and published all required notices of this public hearing to consider approval of the Petition For Establishment of the TXRH Community Improvement District ("Petition"), and creation of the TXRH CID ("CID District"). On December 29, 2015, notices were mailed via certified United States mail with a return receipt attached to the address of record of each owner of record of real property within the boundaries of the CID District. Notice was published in The Cass County Democrat Missourian Newspaper on January 15, 2016 and January 22, 2016. 2. Introduction A new Texas Roadhouse restaurant is being constructed along Peculiar Drive, just north of Cunningham Industrial Parkway. The petitioners are requesting the formation of acid in order to offset some of the development costs by the imposition of a sales tax (not to exceed 1 cent) for sales occurring at the Texas Roadhouse. The CID Act provides for property owners within a specified area to form either a not-for-profit corporation or a political subdivision in order to impose a tax or special assessment to fund: (i) public improvements; (ii) certain activities; and (iii) in the case of blighted areas, costs associated with the remediation of blight. The Petition proposes that the CID District be a political subdivision. On December 28, 2015, petitioners representing the owners of more than 50% of the assessed value of real property within the proposed CID District and more than 50% per capita of all owners of real property within the proposed CID District submitted the Petition to the City Clerk. Belton MO TXR Incorporated ("Developer"), has purchased the real estate located within the proposed CID District, and coordinated submittal of the Petition. The City Clerk has determined, following consultation with the City Attorney, that the Petition substantially complies with the requirements of the CID Act. The formation of the CID District is to assist in the financing of CID qualifying costs. The Petition contemplates the imposition of a 1 cent sales tax. Included in the Council's packet are: (i) the Petition; and, (ii) an ordinance approving the Petition and creating the CID District. {10480 /68176; 664747.2} 1
3. CID Area Approximately 2.28acres of property generally located on the west side of Peculiar Drive, north of Cunningham Industrial Parkway. A map ofthe proposed CID Area is attached as Exhibit B to the Petition. 4.

All costs associated with the issuance of obligations to finance Eligible Services, including capitalized interest and a debt service reserve fund related to issuance of bonds, are deemed District expenses. (The CID Budget is attached as part of Exhibit C to the Petition.) 5. Redevelopment Schedule The Texas Roadhouse is currently under construction and will open in 2016. The expenses to be reimbursed through the CID Sales Tax are being incurred with the construction. 6. Finding of Public Purpose The Petition requests that the City Council make findings that the CID Area will serve a public purpose. a. Public Purpose.

Accordingly, Staff believes the Council may make this finding of public purpose. 7. Petition The City Clerk in consultation with the City Attorney has determined that the Petition substantially complies with the CID Act's Petition requirements. The following are some of the more relevant terms of the Petition: a. Board of Directors. The CID District will be a political subdivision governed by a board of directors with five (5) members.

SECTION II B
TO: FROM: SUBJECT: City Council Ron Trivitt Jay Leipzig Megan McGuire Code Revisions for Sales/Leasing of City Real Property DATE: January 15, 2016 The current Belton City Codes addressing sale, leasing or disposing of surplus real property have proven cumbersome and at times irrelevant due to the fact that the City does not really hold "surplus" property. A review of several surrounding communities and their codes confirm that Belton's codes are more burdensome and inflexible particularly when trying to market tracts for industrial development. The attached revised code was modeled from Columbia, Missouri and is more flexible and straight forward while maintaining safeguards to meet public property transfer requirements.
PROPOSED REVISION 1-14-16 Sec. 2-992. - Disposition of real property owned by the city. (a) Applicability. Except as otherwise provided in this section, real property owned by the city may be sold, traded or leased only when authorized by ordinance and only after competitive bids have been obtained. The real property may be sold, traded or lease only to the person submitting the highest and best bid. The provisions of this section do not apply to disposal of the City of Belton's real property pursuant to sections 34-33 to 34-36 of the City of Belton's Unified Development Code - vacating public ways. (b) Definitions. Appraisal means a determination of the value of the subject parcel, as determined by a sufficient and acceptable appraisal performed either by city staff or by a qualified licensed appraiser using a commercially reasonable method of appraisal. Fair market value means the most probable price expressed in terms of money that a property would bring if offered for sale in the open market at an arm's length transaction between a willing seller and a willing buyer. Subject parcel means city-owned real property under consideration for sale or transfer. (c) Selling or Leasing City Property Without Soliciting Competitive Bids. City property may be sold, traded or leased without competitive bids in the following circumstances: 1) To any person to whom the property has a unique or enhanced value because of its accessibility, configuration, location, size or use; 2) To any adjacent property owner at fair market value as determined by an appraisal; 3) When use of the property is limited to public purposes specified by the council; 4) When the sale, trade or lease is part of a settlement in a condemnation proceeding; or 5) When the council determines that it is in the public interest to sell, trade or lease the property to a particular person (at a fair market value as determined by an appraisal- optional language). (d) Leasing Farm Land Owned by the City. Farm land owned by the city may be leased by the City Manager without soliciting competitive bids and without further council authorization under the following circumstances: (1) The person seeking to lease the property conducts a farming operation adjacent to the property sought to be lease from the city; (2) The person seeking to lease the property has previously lease the property and has demonstrated good farming practices; or (3) The property was acquired by the city from the person seeking to lease the property. Page 1
(e) Bidding Procedures for Sale, Trade or Lease of City Property. (1) Bid notice. A bid notice (the "bid notice") shall be published in a newspaper of general circulation in the City of Belton once a week for two consecutive weeks and contain, at a minimum, the following information: 1) the location of the subject parcel by using both a legal description of the real property and a description that can be easily understood by the public; 2) the place the bid proposal must be submitted to the city manager; 3) the deadline for submittal of any and all bid proposals; 4) a statement that the city reserves the right to accept or reject any and all bid proposals; and 5) any other information deemed appropriate by the city manager. The city manager may issue the bid notice at any time so long as the bid proposals requested therein are provided to the city council prior to its consideration of an ordinance to approve the sale or transfer of surplus property. (2) Bid proposal. Any person or entity may submit a timely, written proposal to acquire the subject parcel ("bid proposal") after the City of Belton issues a bid notice. Every bid proposal must: 1) specifically identify the subject parcel as described in the bid notice; 2) include a statement that it is the bona fide intention of the bidder to purchase the subject parcel; 3) include a dollar amount that the bidder proposes to pay for the subject parcel; and 4) if the bidder wishes to bid something other than money as valuable consideration for the subject parcel, the bid shall specify the consideration that is being bid. The bid proposal must be submitted to the city manager at the time and place directed in the bid notice. (3) Bid acceptance. Bid proposals must contain all of the information requested in the bid notice, as well as the bid proposal requirements outlined in subsection (c)(4)b above, in order to be accepted by the city council. The city reserves the right to reject any and all bid proposals for any reason, and no bid proposal shall be deemed accepted until the city council passes an ordinance approving the final transfer or sale of the subject parcel pursuant to subsection ( d)(2) below. (4) Alternative process for the transfer or sale of a eal property.

SECTION II C
CITY OF BEL TON CITY COUNCIL INFORMATION FORM AGENDA DATE: January 19, 2016 COUNCIL: D Regular Meeting DIVISION: Transportation [8J Work Session D Special Session I D Ordinance D Resolution l ] Consent Item l J Change Order D Motion I D Agreement D Discussion D FYI/Update lzj Presentation D Both Readings ISSUE/RECOMMENDATION: MARC I Operation Green Light (OGL) staff will present findings of a recent traffic study of the signalized intersections along the 163rd Street corridor and Markey Parkway. The objective of this project was to improve coordinated movements along these corridors while minimizing the delay on the side streets. Timings of the City of Belton signalized intersection will be adjusted in the future to meet the recommendations of the report. PROPOSED CITY COUNCIL MOTION: Not applicable I Information only BACKGROUND: Operation Green Light (OGL) was developed through MARC as a cooperative effort to improve the coordination of traffic signals along major routes throughout the metropolitan area. OGL helps synchronize traffic signals around the region, especially those that cross jurisdictional boundaries and helps reduce delays, improve traffic flow and cut emissions that contribute to ozone pollution. OGL also provides local agencies an effective tool to manage traffic signal operations into the future and respond to changes in vehicle traffic patterns. In June 2015, the City of Belton agreed to partner with OGL and include the 163rd Street corridor and Markey Parkway on the regional system. Since then OGL has assisted staff on several occasions with citizen concerns and also coordinated the traffic study being presented. The proposed coordination of the signals along 163 rd will improve movement along the corridor. Future changes in traffic may warrant additional timing changes that will be monitored by OGL and Belton staff. Funding for the program is paid annually through the Transportation budget. IMPACT/ANALYSIS: Not applicable STAFF RECOMMENDATION, ACTION, AND DATE: Staff recommends completing the proposed changes to the signals over the next month.
