The following persons spoke regarding this item: James Gooch, Amy & Mike Buechler, Frank Boyce, and Jeri James There was discussion among Committee members, those present and staff regarding flooding issues on properties, whether the City County and State could work together to coordinate issues, stormwater pipes needing replacement, digging out or cleaning in creeks causing erosion, many high intensity rains recently, and flood insurance. Minutes/Jefferson City Public Wor1<s and Planning Committee JulyS, 2021 Mr. Morasch stated the recent storms exceeded the stormwater system. Staff works to do some stormwater work with the stormwater crew, but if it is a design issue, the Engineering division works on those or bids the process out with other Engineering firms. He also stated that staff could look to increase the regulated flood plain in the City which would address some of these issues. Mr. Crowell told those present they could go to a website called "floodfador.com" and look to see if their properties are within a flood area. 2. Sewer Bond Issuance (Matt Morasch) Mr. Morasch explained the known wastewater capital needs and funding through bonds.

If the Committee would like to respond affirmatively to the recommendation by the T& T Commission speed humps could be installed as a component of the sidewalk projed in either a temporary or permanent fashion. In the absence of a sidewalk projed the means by which the speed humps would be installed would require further examination.

McCarty Street ·Jefferson City, Missouri 65101 • P 573-634-6410 • F 573-634-6562 • www.jeffcitymo .org Date: August 9, 2021 To: Public Works and Planning Committee From: Eric Seaman, Wastewater Division Director #6443 Subject: Basin 21 Private inflow reduction: Emerald Ridge Subdivision Public Works staff requests the committee endorse a program to disconnect sump pumps and foundation drains from the sanitary sewer, in the above noted area, in an effort to reduce sewer surcharging and potential sewer backups. With the committee's concurrence staff will send letters to residents in the subdivision notifying them of the program. Depending on the level of complexity anticipate the costs could range from $1000-$3000 per home. Sewer customers in the Emerald Ridge Subdivision (Del Mar Drive, Catalina Drive, etc.) are impacted by heavy inflow of rainfall entering the sanitary sewer. Public sources of infiltration and inflow (leaking manholes and sewer mains) have been sealed, but the private sources of inflow are excessive during heavy rainfall and surcharge the sanitary sewer for periods of hours into days depending on the amount of rainfall. This not only effects the Subdivision, but customers north of this location in Cole County as well. Most of the excessive inflow is from sump pumps and foundation drains that are forcing foundation groundwater and stormwater into the sanitary sewer. This is prohibited by City Code, but was approved as part of the building permit and inspection process when the houses were built. Since the problem is due at least in part to a City oversight, it is recommended that we participate in a sump pump separation project to cover the cost of a plumber to separate the improper sources of water from sanitary sewer laterals. The most common examples are shown in the exhibit.

If the committee would like staff to further vet and develop any of the options please provide that feedback to us via committee endorsement. Options for discussion include: • Update of regulatory flood plain maps in the City . With this option staff would approach federal regulators to not only update current mapping but also extend the mapping into all developed portions of the City . This update would provide notice to those folks in the flood plain and potentially require those with bank loans to purchase flood insurance. • Actively pursue watershed-based stormwater improvement districts. This option would provide for improvement of stormwater water infrastructure in an area prone to flooding by leveeing an additional tax/fee on contributing properties for the improvement of the infrastructure, similar to the City's petition process for sidewalk improvements. This option would need further vetting from legal and has the potential to be unpopular with residents "at the top of the hill". • Actively pursue a City-wide storm water utility tax/fee . This would be similar to a wastewater utility in which all properties are charged a monthly tax for stormwater. For each dollar charged monthly the City could expect to receive about $500,000+ annually. Past discussion on the topic find most communities support a fee of about $5 . To implement such a utility would require a vote of the electorate, due to the Missouri Hancock Amendment. This item is for discussion at our next committee meeting, if you have any questions please let me know. thanks.

ANNOUNCEMENTS BY MAYOR, COUNCIL, AND STAFF BILL SUMMARY BILL NO: 2015-14 SPONSOR: Councilman Henry SUBJECT: Amends Code Pertaining to JEFFTRAN Fare Increase DATE INTRODUCED: June 1. 2015 DEPARTMENT DIRECTOR(S): _ ___,z:,.!....!~W!::..:..:;L-~~~~==------- CITY ADMINISTRATOR:'------==------------- Staff Recommendation: Approve Summary: Increases JEFFTRAN fares Origin of Request: Public Worksffransit Division Department Responsible: Department of Public Worksffransit Division Person Responsible: MATT MORASCH P.E./Mark Mehmert Background Information: The JEFFTRAN's FY15 budget assumed the fare increase outlined in this bill, and was passed by last year's City Council. Currently, JEFFTRAN fares are as follows: Regular Fare ............ $1.00 Reduced Fare ....... 50 cents Handi-Wheels Fare .... $2.00 This bill would increase fares to the following: Regular Fare ............ $1.50 Reduced Fare ....... 75 cents Handi-Wheels Fare .... $3.00 Fares have not increased since 2007. A fare increase, the proceeds of which are estimated at $30,000 annually, is proposed because budgeted expenses have increased from $1.8 million in 2007 to $2.4 million in 2015. Conversely, "Charges for Services" budgeted revenue (which includes fares) is down from $320,000 in 2007 to $190,000 in 2015. (All figures rounded). Increased expenses and decreased revenue has resulted in a more than doubling of transfers from the General Fund. In 2007, transfers from the General Fund were budgeted at $440,000. In 2015, $1,095,200 is budgeted to be transferred from the General Fund. JEFFTRAN's current fares are low when compared to other small urban systems. This bill retains free transfers, which is significant because nearly 100,000 transfers were issued in 2014. It is noteworthy that other low-fare small urban systems have a portion of their funding provided by a dedicated tax source.

We need to keep our young adults here in this city by making it more attractive for them to live and raise their children! They are moving to communities that provide robust public transportation options. -From 2001 to 2009, the number of passenger-miles traveled per capita by 16 to 34 year-olds on public transit increased by 40 percent. -Sixty-two percent of people ages 18-29 said they would prefer to live in an area described as having a mix of single family houses, apartments and condominiums, with stores, restaurants, libraries, schools and access to public transportation nearby, than in a sprawl-style neighborhood.* • It's a proven fact: investment in our transportation infrastructure, particularly public transportation, drives growth. It attracts development and increased property values along its corridors. It connects restaurants to diners, landlords to renters, families to local stores and employers to employees. Robust investment in public transportation yields positive results.* • Residential property values perform 42 percent better on average if they are located near public transportation with high-frequency service.* • Nationwide 1.1 million jobs are created or sustained per year because of public transportation.* • Public transportation provides affordable, accessible and effective transportation for people from every walk of life. • Access to public transportation gives people transportation options to get to work, go to school, visit friends, do their shopping or go to a doctor's office. • As the Capitol of Missouri, we will be left behind, if we don't responsibly and creatively improve our public transportation system. • No other group of citizens in our community would stand for an increase of 50% increase of charges on their services-but we have consistently placed this heavy form of taxation upon those least able to pay for it. This is unjust and immoral. Those who are poor or who cannot drive a car for any reason should not be punished by an unfair form of taxation. The last increase was 8 years ago and it was 1 00% increase-with no increase in services! The citizens who are most dependent upon public transportation have not received raises to cover this increase, if they have received any kind of raise in income at all! • Until public transit is seen as an opportunity for everyone to get places, rather than just for the poor, we will continue to see a lack of progress in JeffTran effectiveness and improvement. . It's time for this city to change their backward way of thinking about transportation and give it the kind of support, creativity and forward-thinking that a thriving city should have. *http://www.publictransportation.org/news{facts{Pages/default.aspx#sthash.ARLSKUVa.dpuf DEPARTMENT OF PLANNING AND PROTECTIVE SERVICES MEMORANDUM TO: FROM: DATE: Public Works & Planning Committee Matt Kreyling, Building Official August 9, 2021 RE: 2018 Code Review & SmartGov Progress Update 2018 ICC Code Review Meetings to review the 2018 edition of the International Codes were begun in March after being suspended due to COVID-19 . Thus far, the Steering Committee and 3 subcommittees have held a total of26 meetings to review the significant changes to the currently adopted codes. A summary of progress on each ofthe codes follows: Building Code (IBC) Fire Code (IFC) Existing Building (IEBC) Residential (IRC) Pool & Spa (ISPSC) Wildland-Urban Interface (IWUIC) Fuel Gas (IFGC) Mechanical (IMC) Energy Conservation (IECC) Subcommittee review completed Currently under review by subcommittee Review to follow IFC Currently under review by subcommittee Review to follow IRC Review to follow IRC Subcommittee review completed Subcommittee review completed Subcommittee review completed The 2015 edition of most ofthese codes were previously adopted by the City and changes generally consist of updates to technical requirements, clarifications of previously ambiguous sections and allowances for emerging technologies. The Wildland-Urban Interface Code and the Energy Conservation Code would be additions to the adopted codes this cycle . The objective of the IWUIC is to mitigate risk to life and structures from intrusion of fire from wildland fire exposure and to mitigate structure fires from spreading to wildland fuels. This review will be undertaken by the Residential Subcommittee upon completion of the IRC review. The Energy Conservation Code is intended to establish minimum requirements for the effective use and conservation of energy over the useful life buildings . The Energy Subcommittee has recommended adoption without significant alteration to the commercial provisions of this code. Residential energy conservation is already governed by the lRC. SmartGov Implementation Staff is collaborating with the current code enforcement software vendor to expand SmartGov to include environmental health inspection & reporting, grant applications, building permit application and review, contractor licensing and building inspections. The software customization process has begun, and is scheduled to be completed by the end of the year. Several improvements are expected once the additional divisions go live: Electronic grant document portal for use by citizens, lenders and staff Online permit application portal and the ability to track application review Improved submittal distribution across divisions and departments Improved workflows for permit technicians, plan reviewers & inspectors Building & Health inspection reporting via mobile app Greater ease for future customization TO: THROUGH: FROM: DATE: RE: DEPARTMENT OF PLANNING AND PROTECTIVE SERVICES MEMORANDUM Public Works & Planning Committee Sonny Sanders, Planning & Protective Services Director Rachel Senzee, Neighborhood Services Supervisor August 9, 2021 Economic Recovery Plan The Mid-MO Regional Planning Commission (RPC) received CARES Act funding from the Economic Development Administration (EDA) to address economic impacts from COVID-19. Requests from local communites were made to the RPC and funds were obligated for those requested projects. A pool of unobligated funds in the amount of $52,000 remained available. The City of Jefferson submitted a project proposal to engage a consultant in an Economic Recovey Plan. The plan would be beneficial to the City, the JC Area Chamber, and private enterprises. Up to $52,000 in federal dollars are available for the activity. There is no required match. For questions or comments, please contact Rachel Senzee at rsenzee@jeffcitymo .org or 573-634-6305. Economic Recovery Plan -City of Jefferson Proposal The City of Jefferson is proposing to hire a consultant to identify and provide an action plan to help the local economy recover from the impacts of COVID-19. As the pandemic continues, the Jefferson City community has begun to understand that there will need to be a shift towards creativity, flexibility, and a better understanding of existing resources in order for the local economy to adjust and eventually thrive. Specifically, the objectives of this proposal are to: • Ensure city government policies and regulations optim ize the local business climate for existing and new enterprises; • Create a current inventory of land and buildings suitable for desired business development in the greater Jefferson City area; • Identify underutilized opportunities within Jefferson City's historic commercial areas, including Downtown and Old Munichburg; • Conduct a Gap Analysis with the goal of identifying missing business potential; • Provide achievable recommendations and action items for local government, the Chamber of Commerce, and community partners. Strategy The project proposal will take strides to achieve goals identified in the Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS) plan and the Jefferson City Area Chamber of Commerce's Community and Economic Development Implementation Plan. The proposed project will specifically touch on the following CEDS goals: 1. Job creation and retention, with an emphasis on quality jobs 2. Be competitive and prepared for opportunities 3. Entrepreneurship and small business development 4. An economically resilient region The proposed project will accomplish the following from the Chamber's Implementation Plan: 1. Update and publish the current inventory of land and buildings in the region suitable for desired business development 2. Engage in a targeted approach to business attraction and marketing 3. Ensure that city government policies and regulations optimize the local business climate for existing and new firms 4. Create an inventory of all downtown "second-floor" (essentially, all space available in downtown buildings above street level) to identify opportunity to create new spaces in existing buildings. 5. Work with existing entities to determine the key needs and concerns for developing a thriving downtown TO: THROUGH: FROM: DATE: RE: DEPARTMENT OF PLANNING AND PROTECTIVE SERVICES MEMORANDUM Public Works & Planning Committee Sonny Sanders, Planning & Protective Services Director Rachel Senzee, Neighborhood Services Supervisor August 9, 2021 State CDBG-CV Application The City is eligible to apply for $2 million in CARES Act funding from the Missouri Department of Economic Development.
