Approval of the August 8, 2019 Committee meeting minutes Councilwoman Ward moved and Councilman Fitzwater seconded to approve the November 14, 2019 minutes, motion carried. 3. New Business 1. Development Agreement for work at the Jefferson City Memorial Airport (Requestor: Richard Kampeter) (Britt Smith) Mr. Smith explained staff is recommending the City pursue negotiations with RHK Airport Properties for a development agreement for design and construction of an airport terminal and hangar building at the Jefferson City Memorial Airport. He introduced Mr. Kampeter to the Committee. Minutes/Jefferson City Public Works and Planning Committee 2 December 12, 2019 Mr. Kampeter stated they had been looking to add a 1 00' x 1 00' hangar, however there is no property available at the airport. He stated the combined hangar would include the hangar and a new terminal building with a restaurant, shared conference room and an office for the Airport Manager. The office rent for the City would be subsidized by the hangar lease. Councilwoman Ward moved and Councilman Fitzwater seconded to support the project, motion passed. 2. Waiver of Ground Lease and Other Fees Due to Airport Flooding (Britt Smith) - Requestor: Abbott Aviation Mr. Smith explained stated as a result of Abbott Aviation's request at the last Committee meeting staff calculated a two month reduction in ground lease at the airport to be approximately $12,000.00. Mr. Moehlman stated he struggled to find why the City would give money away considering the hangars were still using City property. There was discussion among Committee members and staff regarding the flooding being an act of God and farm leases and parking leases being different than hangar leases. There was no action taken on this item. 3. Street Division Fleet Status (Britt Smith) Mr. Smith explained staff wanted to make the Committee aware of potential impacts to the Street Division response to snow/ice events during the upcoming snow season. He gave a power point presentation showing the age and rusting of the vehicles. There was discussion among Committee members and staff regarding the age and condition of the vehicles, vehicles being used year round not just during snow season, the F550 fleet doing residential streets and dump trucks doing main route snow removal, the cost to replace the ten vehicles that are beyond their expected life being $70,000.00 each. 4. Wastewater User Rate Study (Eric Seaman) Mr. Seaman explained staff has selected Rafetilis Financial Consultants, Inc. for the sewer rate study. A contract is being negotiated at this time and staff will bring to the Council in 2020. Funding will come from the Sewer Utility Fund. 5. Missouri River Bank Stabilization Update (Eric Seaman) Mr. Seaman explained bids will be obtained the week of December 16, 2019 for this project and the Missouri River should be low enough to install the bank protection in January, 2020. Staff will request the requisite readings to award at the January 6, 2020 Council meeting. The time frame for the project from a barge will be 2-3 weeks or off land will be 4-6 weeks to complete. 6. Norris Drive SEMA Grant (David Bange) Mr. Bange stated staff is requesting Committee support of the submission of an application for grant funding for the replacement of the existing stormwater system adjacent to 512 Norris Drive. The basement of the home at 512 flooded as a result of heavy rainfall and because of the flooding and condition of the pipes the City submitted a Notice of Interest in the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program to SEMA. The City received word that it was eligible to submit a grant application which would provide 75 percent of the cost if approved. The grant agreement will be on a future Council agenda for approval. Minutes/Jefferson City Public Works and Planning Committee December 12,2019 7. Lien Release Agreement (Ryan Moehlman) Mr. Moehlman explained tax liens have become an obstacle for people who want to buy neglected properties to rehabilitate. The lien release agreement would allow temporary release of lien for three years with the provision the owner keep current on taxes and not have any nuisances. There was discussion among Committee members and staff regarding the agreement being objective, needing something regarding flipping property, including the ability to not release the entire lien, and the agreements going to the Council on an individual basis. 3. Citizen Opportunity to address Council/Staff on Stormwater and Other Public Works Issues • Request for the City to install a sidewalk for a the small section of Southwest Boulevard (Requestor: Mike Woolley) Mr. Morasch explained Mr. Woolley was unable to attend the meeting this morning. He explained both Mr. Woolley and his wife are in wheelchairs and use the Handiwheels bus. At their present residence at 1109 Southwest Boulevard, the bus is unable to turn around in their lot so they must run their wheelchairs down to the lower lot in order to be transported. The cost for a sidewalk at this location would be approximately $16,000.00. Mr. Moehlman has stated there is an ordinance which would have the property owner build a sidewalk. There was discussion among Committee members and staff regarding staff contacting the property owner to build a sidewalk, staff accommodating the Woolley's, backing up buses not safe, and there being no other sidewalks in this area. • Rental Inspection Program Request (Requestor: Mike Lester) 3 Mr. Lester explained the residents in the Hickory Street Park area have been meeting with City staff regarding safety concerns and chronic nuisance violations in the neighborhood. He would like the Council to take action to improve the City's rental housing regulatory framework. There was discussion among Committee members, staff and those present regarding families living in unsafe housing, landlords needing to be held accountable, certification of rental properties, rental inspections in other Cities such as Columbia and Blue Springs, tenants afraid to report due to eviction, approximately four new staff needed for inspections of the current 7,500 rental units, and bills in session currently to protect tenants. Ms. Abbott stated staff will do a presentation of the nuisance software and invite Blue Springs to give a presentation on their program at the next Committee meeting. Councilman Hussey requested to have someone from the Community Action Team to give a presentation at the next Committee meeting. • Paving of Alleyway in the 1700 block of West Main Street (Requestor: John Glenn) Mr.Gienn requested the alley to be paved next to his house. There was discussion among Committee members, staff and Mr. Glenn regarding alley paving is a low priority and very labor intensive, usually pave alleys if doing overlay in the areas, patching the alley, and increased traffic through the alley. Minutes/Jefferson City Public Worts and Planning Committee 4 December 12, 2019 Mr. Morasch stated staff will send the patch crew to look at the alley and do patching as needed. 6. Adjourn Councilman Hussey moved and Councilwoman Ward seconded to adjourn the meeting at 9:31 a.m., motion carried. Department of Public Works Memorandum 320 E. McCarty Street ·Jefferson City, Missouri 65101 • P 573-634-6410 • F 573-634-6562 • www .jeffci tymo .org Date: January 7, 2020 To: From: Public Works and Planning Committee /'V1;J!;J Jin._ L Matt Morasch , P.E ., Director of Public Works ) Subject: Acceptance of Governor's Cost Share funds ($1.91 M) to complete three roundabouts on the Clark Ave Corridor City staff request the Committee concur with acceptance of the above noted cost share funds and moving a programming agreement to the City Council for approval. As you may be aware Jefferson City was selected by the Governor's office to receive a portion of the $50 M state pool of funds to construct the long discussed Clark Ave Roundabout Corridor project. Jefferson City's project was one of only 20 projects selected to receive funding out of 48 applications (press release and project list attached). The first step in actually comm itting to the project will be for the Council to approve a programming agreement with MoDOTto administer the project (likely in the February time frame). Where and Why: To refresh everyone 's memory on what the actual project is and why it is important to Jefferson City, attached is a diagram depicting the schematic view of the three roundabouts along Clark Ave at Hwy 50/63 and Dunklin . This project was originally contemplated and included in the approved environmental document (Whitton EIS) for Hwy 50/63 corridor improvements (along with the newly built Lafayette Interchange) in 2010 as a secondary access to the MSP redevelopment. The interchange improvement also improves access and safety to a number of locations on Jefferson City's east end including : • Lincoln University and surrounding neighborhoods (accommodates future growth of LU); • Highway Patrol Headquarters and multiple state agencies (MDNR etc.) off of east Elm ; • And accommodates safe pedestrian access (north/south across Hwy 50/63) from housing authority properties , two elementary schools , a neighborhood grocery store and park facilities . Timeline: Project agreements (with MoDOT and Co le County) are anticipated for Council approval in February, with final design to begin shortly thereafter. Construction is anticipated to begin in the spring of 2021 and would likely occur in phases with completion in 2022. Public Works' CORE Mission and Values improve th e ~ommunity -take Qwn e rship -deliver Res ults -~mp a thi ze with the cust o m er Budget: • Total Project Estimate: $5 .8 M • Governor's Cost Share : $1.91 M (up to 50% of construction) • Local Match including in-kind service by City staff: $3 .89 M* );> *In-kind service estimate $890,000. Includes survey of site and properties, projecUright-of-way administration, utility relocation coordination, construction staking and construction inspection . • Local Funding Commitment Need: $3 M );> Current sales tax funding commitment for Clark Ave from City/County projects : $1 .7 M :,... Funding Needed to complete project $1 .3 M (propose $650,000 from each City and County) Because this is a new project not originally contemplated to be completed in this sales tax cycle , staff evaluated the sales ta x to determine what unassigned funding could be allocated to obtain $650,000 and still fulfill our commitments in each category . We are recommending the following : Sidewalk Funds: Stormwater Funds: Available $350 ,000 $1,400 ,000 Requ ired for $650 ,000 Match $275 ,000 $375 ,000 Remaining : $75 ,000 $1 ,025 ,000 The Clark Ave roundabout corridor project includes much infrastructure improvement in the sidewalk and stormwater segments and would be a good use of those funds to complete this very important community project. Upon the Committee concurrence staff will work with the County to identify a funding commitment for the project and develop an inter-local agreement for the project. We anticipate that agreement to be approved in the same time frame as the MoDOT project agreement. The City has not taken on a roadway proj ect of this magnitude since the Mission Drive improvement at Hwy 179. This is a great opportunity for the City and it wouldn 't happen without the partnership of the Governor's office, State Legislature , MoDOT and Cole County (and the Chamber who helped prepare the project need statement for the application). There are a lot of moving parts to a project of this magnitude and if you ever have a question concerning it please do not hesitate to contact me or David Bange at 634-6410. Thanks .

Page 2 of3 MoDOT's Cost-Share Committee, made up of MoDOT's Chief Engineer, Chief Financial Officer, Assistant Chief Engineer, and two Director-appointed employees along with DED staff, reviewed 48 applications requesting more than $92 million to deliver $321 million in projects. The committee selected 20 applications to receive the $50 million, which will deliver $131 million in projects upon approval by the Missouri Highways and Transportation Commission in january. During legislative session, the Missouri General Assembly appropriated $50 million to create the Governor's transportation cost-share program, which provides financial assistance to public and private applicants for public road and bridge projects. The program matches up to 50 percent of the construction contract costs for selected projects. Ten percent of the funds are set aside for projects that demonstrate economic development. MoDOT and DED worked with project sponsors to determine when projects may generate economic development. The departments may contribute up to 100 percent of the construction contract costs from the 1 0 percent set aside for these projects. The selected projects will be presented to the Missouri Highways and Transportation Commission for approval in january. CONTACT US Office of Governor Michael L. Parson P.O.

Project Name Assign a short name to the project, for purposes of identification. Also include the MoDOT Job Number, if applicable. Clark Avenue Roundabouts, Hwy 50 Ramp Terminals and Dunklin Street 2. Location Describe the location of the project, including major intersecting highways and rail routes, cities, towns, metropolitan planning organizations or regional planning commissions. Attach a map as Exhibit 1 The project is located in Jefferson City, Missouri at the intersection of Clark Avenue with Highway 50/63 and at the Clark Avenue and Dunklin Street intersection. Jefferson City is part of the Capitol Area Metropolitan Planning Organization and the Mid Missouri Regional Planning Commission. 3. Description Describe the purpose and need for the project, its basic design features and what it will accomplish. Include an assessment of the current condition of all transportation facilities relating to the project. The project includes the construction of three roundabouts along the Clark Avenue Corridor including one at each of the ramp terminals from Highway 50/63 and at Dunklin Street. The Clark Avenue interchange provides access to Lincoln University, the state highway patrol headquarters, offices for numerous state agencies, two elementary schools, a brick and block manufacturing facility, numerous residential and commercial properties, and is a recommended route (Whitton Expressway EIS) for an access to the property that was the Missouri State Penitentiary (MSP) of which more than 30 acres is now owned by the City of Jefferson who is currently in the process of selecting a development group to redevelop the property. In 2010 an Environmental Impact Statement was written for the Rex Whitten Expressway which included the Clark Avenue interchange. The purpose of the study was to "safely and reliably improve personal and freight mobility, reduce traffic congestion, and enhance access along the Whitton Expressway corridor." One of the five needs that were fundamental to the study was to "Improve access to the Missouri State Penitentiary and encourage development." The preferred alternative coming out of the study envisioned two access points for the MSP, the frrst being Lafayette Street and the second being Clark A venue. The study divided the proposed improvements into phases and the frrst phase was the construction 3 8/5/19 of an interchange at Lafayette Street and Highway 50/63 which was undertaken in 2015 and 2016. The second phase as outlined by the EIS was the construction of roundabouts at the Clark A venue Interchange. In March of 2019 a traffic study specific to the Clark Avenue corridor including the ramp terminals, Miller, Elm, Dunklin, McCarty, and Atchison Streets was conducted which confirmed the findings of the EIS document. A major component in the path to this conclusion was the desire to maintain access to all streets that are currently able to access Clark A venue and the interchange. Roundabouts enable the attainment of that goal and were able to reduce the number of intersections by combining the ramp terminals and the closely spaced city streets. The proposed design includes the construction of three roundabouts. The frrst of these will be located on Clark Avenue at the intersection of the westbound ramp terminals and will also include Miller Street creating a six legged roundabout. The second will be located at Clark Avenue at the ramp terminals for eastbound Highway 50 and will also include the intersection of Elm Street and thus have six legs. These two roundabouts will solve the problem presented, and crashes caused, by the very tight spacing between the City streets and the ramps. A third roundabout will be placed at the intersection of Clark Avenue and Dunklin Street which is located one block to the south of the eastbound Highway 50/63 ramp terminals. Sight distance issues at this intersection have led to the creation of unique geometry including a left hand turn pocket that is to the left of the opposing traffic stream. This arrangement is outside of typical driver expectations. In all cases the side streets and ramps are controlled by stop signs while those on Clark Avenue have a free flow movement. Crash data for this intersection was collected from the years 2010 through 2014 during which time 46 crashes were reported. Of these crashes there were no fatalities, however, 15 crashes (32.6%) resulted in injuries, while 31 crashes (67.4%) resulted in property damage only. The evaluation of these crashes indicate issues with sightlines, closely spaced intersections and conflicts with driver expectations. A predictive crash analysis was performed which indicated that the introduction of roundabouts at the ramp terminals and Elm and Miller Streets respectively would reduce crashes by 15.8% and the roundabout at Clark and Dunklin would see a reduction of 9 .9%. The introduction of roundabouts will also provide accommodations for pedestrians traversing this corridor. East Elementary School and Immaculate Conception Elementary School are located in the vicinity with the latter connecting directly to the roundabout proposed on the northern side of Highway 50/63 and the former being two blocks further to the northeast. Pedestrain improvements will also help in connecting a area of low income and public housing on the southern side of the highway to a grocery store located on the north side of the highway. This corridor also serves as a part of a bicycling route known as the JC Loop. Cycling crashes are at times not well represented in the data; however, two such crashes have now been reported at the intersection of Clark and Dunklin. The geometry of a roundabout at this intersection would reduce or prevent the right angle crashes that were reported. 4 8/5119 When the application is submitted, a Conceptual Plan is required This includes the project's purpose and need stating what conditions will be addressed with the project solution or concept. Article 128 of MoDOT's Engineering Policy Guide (EPG) addresses Conceptual Studies for most projects. If there is a possibility of a significant environmental impact with the project, then an Environmental Assessment (EA) or Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) is required. Article 126 of the EPG defines the requirements of these documents. If the project is within a 3 mile radius of an airport, indicate the name of the airport and name of the city. The purpose of this project is to increase safety by reducing congestion, improving sightlines, eliminate closely spaced intersections, and creating geometry that meets driver expectations. It will improve access to the MSP redevelopment, Lincoln University, the Highway Patrol Headquarters, Midwest Block and Brick, two elementary schools, a number of state office buildings, among many others. This will be accomplished with the construction of three roundabouts. The northerly most roundabout will eliminate the closely spaced intersections of the westbound highway ramps and Miller Street by combining them into a single intersection. It will also eliminate a sightline issue at the top of the off ramp created by the pedestrian railing and bridge barrier curb. The middle roundabout will again eliminate the two closely spaced intersections of the eastbound ramps and Elm Street. This combination of intersections is the location of a number of crashes along this corridor and the point of the greatest congestion as vehicles from the off ramp tum right onto Clark and then look to make an immediate left onto Elm Street. With no room for storage between these intersections traffic backs up on the highway off ramp. The southern roundabout at Clark and Dunklin will correct sight distance problems and eliminate the peculiar intersection geometry that defies driver expectation. The existing condition consists of five intersections that have stop sign control on the side streets. Clark A venue is the main line and the side streets include Miller, the ramp terminals of westbound Highway 50/63, the ramp terminals of eastbound High 50/63, Elm Street, and Dunklin Street. Clark Avenue is approximately 38 feet wide with asphalt pavement and curb and gutter and sidewalks. On the northern side of the highway it contains a single through lane in each direction with parking on the western side of the street. On the southern side there are two eleven foot through lanes and a left tum pocket serving Elm Street. Parking is allowed on the western side on the street to the south of the turn pocket. Left turn pockets also exist on the approach to Dunklin Street. The Clark Avenue Bridge was rehabilitated in 2016 and has a concrete deck and approach slabs. It has a single through lane in each direction and left tum pockets for access to the highway ramps. The overpass and highway below were under construction in 1960. Elm Street is an asphalt street that varies in width, being forty feet wide at the western connection to Clark Avenue and 25 feet wide at the eastern approach. The right of way width also varies from 60 feet to the west to 50 feet to the east. There is a single lane in each direction and parking is allowed. The street has curb and gutter on both sides o.f 5 8/5/19 Clark and sidewalk on both sides of the western leg. This street is owned and maintained by the City of Jefferson. The eastbound and westbound highway ramps were under construction in 1960 and are part of the right of way acquired for the highway which at the interchange with Clark A venue is approximately three hundred sixty feet wide. The ramps are constructed of concrete and have single driving lanes that are sixteen feet wide with a four foot shoulder. The ramps flair as they reach Clark A venue having throat widths ranging from sixty five to seventy five feet. Elm Street is owned and maintained by the City of Jefferson. It has a right of way width of sixty five feet and a pavement width of thirty feet to the west of Clark A venue and seventy feet of right of way and thirty eight feet of pavement to the east of Clark. Both legs have curb and gutter and sidewalk exists on one side of the western leg and both sides of the eastern leg. Dunklin Street is also owned and maintained by the City of Jefferson. To the west of Clark A venue the right of way is fifty five feet wide and has a pavement with of thirty eight feet. The street is concrete. To the east of Clark Avenue the right of way varies but is generally forty feet wide. The pavement is asphalt and is generally twenty two feet in width. The street has curb and gutter and sidewalk on both sides of the western leg and one side of the eastern leg. The exact age of Miller, Elm, and Dunklin Streets is unknown. The two northerly roundabouts are located at the intersection of roadways classified as an expressway and a minor arterial while the roundabout at Clark and Dunklin is the intersection of two minor arterials. The proposed design will not affect the functional classification of the roadways. The desigfi speed of the roundabouts is anticipated to be in the range of 15 to 20 mph. The design speed of the remainder of the roadway will be 3 5 mph. The number of lanes will remain the same, namely, a single lane in each direction with the removal of the left hand turn lane between the ramp terminals. The width of the lanes will be a maximum of twelve feet outside of the roundabouts and will transition to wider lanes within the roundabout approaches and circulatory roadway to accommodate the design vehicle. The right of way width will vary. The conceptual plan does not show any changes to the Clark A venue Bridge, which received extensive renovations in 2016, apart from the removal of the left hand turn lanes and the installation of a median curb. An Environmental Impact Statement was written for this project which was approved December 12, 2010. FHWA-MO-EIS-09-03-F, Project No. J5P0820B. It is anticipated that this EIS will be revisited and reviewed. The project is located within a three mile radius of an airport. The airport is the Jefferson City Memorial Airport, Jefferson City Missouri.

Significance and Need Describe the extent to which the project is regionally significant. Describe the project's transportation need (including impacts to the state highway system) and public benefits. Describe the project's ability to generate economic benefits, support commerce and create new jobs. Supporting documentation may be attached as Exhibit Ill Projects expanding the state highway system or increasing state maintenance costs must seek pre-approval by MoDOT's Chief Engineer prior to submittal of application. Highway 50 and Highway 63 are highways connecting our state east to west and north to south respectively. This highway caries in excess of35,000 vehicles per day. This interchange serves Lincoln University, the Highway Patrol Headquarters, several state office buildings, the Old Missouri State Penitentiary site and Midwest Block and Brick among a number of other commercial and residential properties. This project will increase safety by reducing congestion, improving sightlines, eliminate closely spaced intersections, and creating geometry that meets driver expectations. It will improve access to the MSP redevelopment, Lincoln University, the Highway Patrol Headquarters, Midwest Block and Brick, a number of state office buildings, and two elementary schools. It will provide improved pedestrian access through the corridor through its geometry and marked crosswalks making connections between the schools and the communities that they serve as well connecting those communities to a grocery store and thereby helping to address the issue of food deserts. This project will impact the state highway system by improving the existing intersections of the Highway 50/63 ramp terminals with Clark Avenue and the closely spaced Miller and Elm Streets. The roundabouts are predicted to reduce crashes at these intersections by 15 .8%, making them safer and would have the intersections operating at a level C or better under all conditions at the 20 year horizon. Please refer to Section 5 for a discussion of the project's ability to generate economic benefits. 5. Private Participation Describe the extent to which the project fosters innovative public-private partnerships, if any, and attracts debt and/or equity investment from private capital. Identify private partners and provide evidence of commitments, joint venture agreements, lease or other supporting documents for the public-private partnerships as Exhibit IV. Also describe the extent to which the project's debt repayment depends on user charges. No public-private partnerships have been developed at this time. 6.

Define what activities are included in the total project costs (e.g., preliminary engineering, environmental assessment, right of way (ROW) acquisition, ROW acquisition incidentals, utilities, construction contract and/or construction engineering) and describe any costs or activities that may not be eligible. The activities included in the total project cost are traffic/feasibility study, preliminary engineering, environmental assessment, right of way acquisition, right of way acquisition incidentals, utilities, construction, and construction engineering. In accordance with the information provide within the guidelines for the Governor's Transportation Cost Share Program the only eligible costs are those directly related to the construction. All other costs are not eligible. B. For all eligible costs, provide a breakdown for the following items in the Project Estimate and Funding Chart, if applicable: feasibility studies, preliminary engineering, environmental assessment, right of way (ROW) acquisition, ROW acquisition incidentals, utilities, construction contract and construction engineering. Include other cost categories as necessary. All cost estimates should be expressed on a cash (fiscal year-of-expenditure July to June) basis and should include narrative describing assumptions used to arrive at such estimates. All future costs should be adjusted for inflation to year-of-expenditure. As established by the guidelines for the cost share program "Funds are for construction contract costs, only." making all other costs ineligible. Therefore the following narrative will deal only with the construction costs. Construction is planned to begin in May of 2021. Given the complexity of providing access through the area during construction it is anticipated that this project will extend over two construction seasons and over three fiscal years. It is anticipated that 20% of the work could be completed in fiscal year 2020-2021, 60% in fiscal year 2021-2022, and the remaining 20% in 2022-2023. This would equate to approximately $764,000 in the first year, $2,292,000 in the second year, and $764,000 in the third year. This numbers represent the combination of the cost share and local funds. These estimates were developed by Bartlett and West as part of the traffic study and conceptual layout of these intersections that was completed in March of 2019 and anticipate a 2% yearly inflation rate. C. For all eligible costs provided in B., include who will be providing and funding each item on the Project Estimate and Funding Chart. Funding sources may include federal funds, state grants, local grants, private investment (equity or debt), market value of right of way donations, bond proceeds (general obligation, revenue and others), other borrowing (specify), investment income, revenues, federal credit assistance proceeds or any other contributions. Federal funds (including earmarks) provided by the applicant as part of their portion of the project costs must, if applicable, also provide the cash for matching the federal funds. Applicant's funds 9 8/5/19 are deposited with MoDOT as specified in the project agreement. For each funding source, describe the status (e.g., requested, committed or received). In consultation with the Area Engineer and in accordance with respect to the response to question # 17 of the Governor's Transportation Cost Share Program-F AQs sheet we have the understanding that this project will be similar to other types of LPA projects in which the LP A incurs construction expenses and then submits for reimbursement. The City of Jefferson and the County of Cole through their joint projects account funded by a Y2 cent sales tax will provide funding to match the Cost Share Program funds.

Summary of Impact to Existing or Future Businesses Areas Impacted • The areas impacted by the proposed infrastructure improvements (roundabouts) at the intersection of Dunklin Street and Clark Avenue, and the Clark Avenue/Highway 50/63 interchange are: o Missouri State Penitentiary Redevelopment Area o Central East End Commercial and Residential Areas o Lincoln University-Southern Access Point (Dunklin Street) o East Elm Street -Commercial, Retail, Office and Residential Areas o Miller Street -Commercial, Office and Residential Areas o Clark A venue -Commercial, Retail, Office and Residential Areas Impact to Existing and Future Businesses • Impact to Existing Businesses o The proposed infrastructure improvements will allow for much improved ingress and egress, on and off of Highway 50/63 and Clark Avenue. The improvements will provide existing businesses a much safer means of access on and off of the Clark A venue overpass, coupled with a reduction in idle time, again, trying to access Clark A venue and/or Highway 50/63 and Dunklin Street. }> Missouri State Penitentiary (MSP) Redevelopment Area o The City of Jefferson is currently working with four separate developers as each will provide a proposed development plan for areas within the 32 acres conveyed to the City of Jefferson by the State of Missouri (2018). • Primary Proposed Uses - • Hotel(s) • Offices • Entertainment venues • Convention Center • Restaurants & Retail • Economic Impact-The overall economic impact would provide net new employment opportunities, net new sales tax revenues, infrastructure improvements to this area, increase vehicle and pedestrian traffic, increased property tax revenues, spur increased private investment in areas adjacent to the MSP redevelopment area, increase interest in surrounding residential rehabilitation as well as new construction. > Central East End Commercial and Residential Areas }> Lincoln University -Southern Access Point (Dunklin Street) }> East Elm Street -Commercial, Retail, Office and Residential Areas 11 8/5/19 ~ Miller Street-Commercial, Residential > Clark Avenue -Commercial, Retail, Office and Residential Areas o The five areas listed above will see a positive economic impact as traffic congestion will be minimized by the proposed roundabouts, along with improved connectivity to street intersections (Dunklin, East Elm, Miller, and Clark Ave.) This will allow the existing commercial, residential and office facilities to obtain, not only, new customers but spur many more repeat customers, as well. o In addition, improvements to the described areas will drive new private investment in commercial, retail, office and potentially residential. Future business development activity will be positively impacted as dangerous ingress and egress points coming on and off of Clark A venue interchange will be minimized with the proposed new roundabouts. Increased safety, along with improved traffic flow at the three identified intersections will be viewed as a positive improvement to this area and, will draw a renewed attraction to the areas listed above. 2. Overview of Historical and Current Operations What type of"Eligible Industry" is the Applicant? (Check all that apply) sa Manufacturing ~ Processing ~ Assembling o Research and Development o Services in Interstate Commerce lXI Office Industry o Agricultural Processing Additional Detail: ~ Additional Information -the areas affected by the proposed improvements include residential, office, retail, commercial and manufacturing operations. Also, others areas positively impacted by the proposed infrastructure improvements are (again) the Missouri State Penitentiary site (32 acres) by opening up an alternative access point which will extend Clark A venue north until it connects with the proposed development site (access will require new infrastructure improvements and the removal of existing residential and commercial properties). o Please Note: the areas describe above are located within an economically distressed area which has been under-served by new private investment for single-family residential and rental housing, commercial and retail development, as well as being under-served by the public sector (city and county) related to infrastructure spending to improve and maintain this area. In addition, the distressed areas continue to see declines in all forms 12 8/5/19 of existing infrastructure improvements from both public and private investment. o Manufacturing- • The proposed infrastructure improvements will positively impact existing manufacturing operations within the area, as reliable, safe and timely access to markets will increase efficiencies and ultimately lead to cost saving, potential new investment and increase the likelihood to retain jobs over the long term. • In addition, the proposed infrastructure improvements will assist in the attraction of new manufacturing operations, as transportation related improvements, again, are critical to the efficiencies that lead to cost savings, safety, attractiveness of underdeveloped "greenfield" sites which are supporting by existing utilities, etc. • In total, there are seven existing manufacturers that would benefit from the proposed improvements (total existing full-time jobs= 2100 +/-) 3. Project Description Narrative and Justification of Need (include both the direct impact as well as indirect impacts and potential opportunities, ie. how does this transportation project position the community to succeed where it may have previously been unable to compete) Type of Project: (Check all that apply) m Construction of New Infrastructure IKI Acquisition of Real Estate o Construction of New Facilities o Acquisition of Existing Facilities o Additions or Improvements to Existing Facilities o Acquisition of Equipment Additional Detail: ~ Again, the proposed improvements will minimize traffic congestion at three separate intersection points, and dramatically improvement long-term safety of both drivers and pedestrians at these access points. Most, if not all, infrastructure improvements projects increase the likelihood of increased economic development, etc. as transportation infrastructure is a core element to any economy. 4. Project Schedule • Missouri State Penitentiary Redevelopment (MSP) 13 8/5/19 o Improvements within this area are already in process • Construction of the new Federal Courthouse, along with infrastructure improvements to access the building/property • Construction of two new Missouri Department ofNatural Resources office buildings • Ongoing prison tours offered by the Jefferson City Convention & Visitors Bureau (improvements to original buildings, pre-1950's) o Potential Improvements to MSP property • Hotel(s) • Offices • Entertainment venues • Convention Center • Restaurants & Retail o Project Schedule • The projected start of construction-2020-2022 • Existing Land/Property Uses o The areas addressed in Section # 1 have experienced development and redevelopment over many decades as these areas are historic in value dating back the early expansion of Jefferson City. 5. Project Budget with Identified Sources & Uses • In projecting the potential private investment in new development and redevelopment, it is extremely difficult to applied accurate dollar estimate. The areas identified in Section #1 stretch across a wide area of Jefferson City's Central East-End and East-End boundaries. o The potential economic growth expected by the proposed infrastructure improvements will occur organically over a long period of time as traffic flow and safety concerns are improved subject to the proposed improvements. In addition, the City of Jefferson in partnership with Cole County have approved infrastructure improvements to High Street (Ash Street to Vetter Lane) which runs directly through the areas addressed above. ($1.5m -2020). o Unknown at this time, but additional public sector funds will be injected into this area to continue improvements to existing and newly constructed infrastructure which will in turn will help drive an injection of new private investment. 6. Effect of the Project on Employment • As with the proposed new capital investment, the projected amount of net new employment opportunities is extremely difficult to project and/or predicted. This is due 14 8/5119 the areas identified in Section #1, that stretches across a wide ~ea of Jefferson City's Central East-End and East-End boundaries, and not specific to one assumed project. The potential creation of net new jobs can be an expected outcome of the above noted infrastructure improvements, but again this figure will be impacted by multiple factors within the local economy. One being, the current market seeing value in existing properties and new undeveloped "greenfield" sites. o Retention of Existing Jobs • The proposed improvements will reinforce the mindset of existing property owners to invest in existing and new properties, as this will provide a positive outlook on future job creation and retention by these businesses. *Definitions and other considerations Employment -new jobs projected should include full time (2080 hours annually/35 hours per week) that are eligible for company benefits. The Department reserves the right to ask for additional documentation to support projected employment growth.

Improvement to these intersections is in line with several goals and strategies as laid out in the CAMPO Metropolitan Transportation Plan (MTP), including "Improving efficiency in system management, operations, and movement of people and fl·eight'' and "improving safety and security for all ta-avel modes." The intersections at Clark and US 50/63 and Clark and Dunklin are listed as illustrative projects in the MTP. The project was identified by both stakeholders and the general public as an improvement need dua·ing CAMPO's 2018 .. 2019 MTP public engagement campaign. The project is also called out as a capacity improvement need in the 20 19 CAMPO Travel Demand Model. The Travel Demand Model states that this intersection needs to be reconfigured to address ramp terminal capacity con·idor operations, with a recommendation for installation of roundabouts. Additionally, CAMPO provided the City with Surface Transportation Block Group Funds totaling $81 ,966 to conduct a study on the intersection in 2018. In conclusion, CAMPO supports the efforts of the City of Jefferson as they seek funding to improve these intersections. · Sincet·ely, Sonny Sanders, AICP Administratoa·, Capital Area Metropolitan Planning Organization MoDOT Missouri Department of Transportation September 30,2019 City of Jefferson Mr. David Bange, P .E. 320 E.

This project will result in approximately 230 feet of additional pavement maintenance; however, since the improvements will enhance traffic flow and safety in this area, we do not see the additional maintenance as a concern. A 2010 EIS and a 2019 traffic study supported the use of roundabouts. Two of the proposed roundabouts will be used to facilitate traffic to and from US 50/63. These improvements will help mitigate the safety and congestion issues in this area for the state highway system. Thank you for your interest in the Governor's Cost Share Program.

In September and again in November of 2019 Mr. Michael Lester came to the Transportation and Traffic Commission requesting that the City address the speed of vehicles along Adams Street particularly in the area of Hickory Street Park . The City responded to this request by placing speed counters in various locations along the route. The data collected indicated that the 851h percentile speed , which is the City's standard for the establishment of speed li m its, was 31 .8 mph while the posted speed is 30 mph. After discussion of this issue , and in concern for small children making use of the park and walking to Thorpe Gordon Elementary School , the Commission supported the installation of speed humps as the preferred method to achieve a reduction in speeds through the area . As a result of that decision, and the knowledge that speeds humps are sometimes viewed negatively by those who must use them on a regular basis , staff drafted petition forms that could be used to gage the inte rest of the neighborhood concerning the implementation of these devices. Mr. Lester circulated this petition and rece ived nearly unanimous support from those abutting what will be the affected sect ions of Adams Street. If approved this will be the first installation of speed humps in Jefferson City. Because it is unknown how they will be received staff is proposing the use of temporary humps that can be removed if necessary, or if proven to accomplish their intended goal , could be made permanent and the temporary humps then could be available to be used in other areas that may be in need of similar traffic ca lming measures . Investigation into the cost revealed that to introduce three sets of humps, which wou ld be what is needed to produce a reduction in speed through this area , would cost approximately $20 ,000 .00 .
