Minutes/ Jefferson City Public Works and Planning Committee
February 9, 2023
1. US Hwy 54 Improvements North Jefferson City (David Bange)
2
Mr. Bange explained staff is recommending that the Council support MoDOT's option 3
and indicate that the City is willing to donate the property needed for this project to MoDOT.
MoDOT provided staff with the traffic count information for Highway 54 and 63 at their January
10th public meeting. Option 3 separates the highway traffic from the City street and its park uses
and so is superior in that regard. -
There was discussion among Committee members and staff regarding the various
options, the traffic volumes, concern for industries across the river, time frame for the project,
and the ability of the fire department to get to airport & bridge quickly.
Chairman Fitzwater requested this item come back to the Committee in March.
2. Transit Route Modifications (Gerry Stegeman/Katrina Williams)
Mr. Stegeman explained due to a driver shortage, the City is instituting adjustments to all
six fixed-route bus routes into three alternating routes traveling on the same roads and stopping
at the same bus stops. The busses are on an 80 minute headway instead of the current 40
minute headway.
There was discussion among Committee members, staff, and those present regarding
more riders using handiwheels at this time, the time it takes to get new busses, new driver
training taking 8-12 weeks, eleven hour days with split shifts, and the pay rate being the primary
reason for losing drivers.
3. Rehabilitation Scope and Fee for the Jefferson Street Garage (Britt Smith)
Mr. Smith explained staff recommends moving forward with a contract with Structural
Engineers Associates for design services related to repairs to the Jefferson Street parking deck
as well as the structural repairs to Level 4C in the Madison Street garage.
There was discussion among Committee members and staff regarding the "garage
closed" sign being used, the closure due to the percentage of pass card holders, the parking
app, and parking fines.
Councilman Spencer moved and Councilman Schreiber seconded to refer the contract
to the City Council with recommendation to approve, motion carried.
4. City/County Cooperative Projects Update (David Bange)
Mr. Bange gave an update on the status of the various joint City/County sales tax
projects, including the High Street Viaduct, the Stadium Corridor, Monroe Street, and Economic
Development with the Transload facility. He stated staff is also looking into the Wildwood and
Militia Drive Extensions.
There was discussion among Committee member, staff, and those present regarding the
various options for the projects, funding, and looking in to receiving grants.
Mr. Morasch explained these projects will come back to a future Committee meeting.
5. Village of Centertown Wastewater (Eric Seaman)
Minutes/Jefferson City Public Works and Planning Committee
February 9, 2023
3
Mr. Seaman explained the Village of Centertown Missouri has requested a wholesale
treatment contract with the City of Jefferson to treat their sewage. Under this request they would
maintain their own sewer collection system and pump it to the City of Jefferson sewer system
for treatment. Centertown would pay all the construction costs.
There was discussion among Committee members and staff regarding the rate the City
would charge, Centertown maintaining odor control, adopting a sewer use ordinance, bid gravity
sewer from Rabbit Run Road to the connection point on Route T, and paying per connections
per month.
6. Continued discussion of funding for installing solar panels on Fire Station
#2 (Councilman Lester/Ryan Moehlman)
Mr. Moehlman distributed a handout regarding tax credit for electricity from renewables.
He explained the Department of Treasury has not come up with the guidelines for the program
at this time.
There was discussion among Committee members and staff regarding stacking
incentives, apprentice program, the savings, and several committee members wanting more
details and felt it was not the appropriate time or funding for this type of project.
Councilman Lester moved to install solar panels on Fire Station 2 using sales tax G
funds. There was no second so Councilman Lester withdrew his motion.
7. City of Jefferson Title VI Program for JEFFTRAN and CAMPO (Katrina
Williams)
Ms. Williams explained the program is required to be updated every 3 years. The
program prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color, or national origin in any program or
activity that received Federal funds or financial assistance. This is a combined program with
JEFFTRAN and CAMPO.
Councilman Kemna moved and Councilman Schreiber seconded to refer the Title VI
Program to the City Council with recommendation to approve, motion carried.
8. Rental Inspection Program (Dave Helmick)
Mr. Helmick explained several options for the rental inspection program. The program
could be annual inspections, every three year inspections, every five year inspections, or the
current program of exterior only annual inspections.
There was discussion among Committee members, staff; and those present regarding
the costs, the burden on landlords, contracting out the inspections, concern with tenants and
rental rates.
Mr. Crowell stated that he had not had the benefit of a discussion with staff on this item
and would appreciate the opportunity to do so.
9. Temporary Sign Code (Matt Kreyling)
Mr. Kreyling explained the changes to the sign code to allow temporary signage. The
ordinance would allow one advertising flag, with a maximum height of 12 feet, permitted for a

U.S . Route 54 Improvements, North Jefferson City, Comments from Business
Owners
City Staff is recommending that the Council support MoDOT's Option #3 and indicate that the City is
willing to donate the property that would be needed for this project.
At the February Committee Meeting staff presented their evaluation of the options that MoDOT
presented for the westbound lanes of Highway 54 in North Jefferson City . At that time the Committee
asked if the staff's support of Option 3 had been disseminated and discussed with the business
community in the area north of the river . Upon receiving a response in the negative the committee
requested that staff seek input from those in North Jefferson. This task was undertaken with the help of
the Chamber of Commerce who contacted the business community in North Jeff asking for their
input/reaction to the proposed support of Option #3 .
At the time of the writing of this memo we have heard from the Farmer Companies who operate four
businesses in the area as well as from MFA. In both cases the respondents indicated that their first
choice remained an option not currently being considered by MoDOT, namely , the expansion of the
land -based portion of the Missouri River Bridge to allow for the Route W on ramp to remain in its
current configuration . Baring that, they both agreed that Options #2 or #3 were preferable to Option #1
with the Farmer Companies leaning towards Option #3 while MFA considered Option #2 to be more
favorable. Their ranking of these options was based on the speed at which they believed their
respective vehicles could obtain as they reached the end of the ramp . Th is d istinction is subtle and may
not get at the heart of the difference between Options 2 and 3 as it appears possible that either option
could be modified to match the radius and ramp length of the other. We also received a reply from
Grant Shorthose who was in support of option #3.
The main difference between Options 2 and 3 rests on whether or not to use 4th Street as part of t he
ramp and the impacts that it has on City/Parks property.
Option #2 would have a smaller direct impact to C ity/Parks owned property in that it would leave the
area of the parking lot and playground untouched and would require only a small corner at the
intersection of 4th Street with Highway W , and another small piece as the ramp turns towards the
Highway . However, it would have impacts to pedestrian movements as those making use of the nearby
U:\Public Works\E ngineering\dbange\PUBLIC WORKS & PLANNIN G\2023 \3-2023\Highway 54-63 .docx
Memorandum
ball fields would most likely need to cross over 4th Street/entrance ramp from the parking lot through
vehicles that are accelerating on their way to the highway. It would also impact the use of 4th Street as
the connection to the Katy Trail to an extent that a separated path/route would be required.
Option #3 would require the transfer of a much larger parcel of property and would require the City to
abandon the parking area and to relocate the playground equipment that remains at the site. However,
it would allow for the Highway ramp and the associated vehicular volume to be separated from the
remaining parks uses.
I have had the opportunity to be part of a discussion of this topic at a meeting of the Parks and
Recreation Commission. At that meeting there were questions raised concerning the donation of the
property, and if it were to be donated if the Parks Department could receive reimbursement for the
relocation of the playground equipment and other park amenities that remain at the site. Perhaps this
could be a point of discussion with MoDOT as well as including the stipulation that if MoDOT were to
cease using the loop ramp proposed in Option #3 that the property would be donated back to the City.
If you have any questions or concerns I can be reached at 634-6433.

Mr. Plummer,
I did miss one point in my earlier response . Both Option 2 and 3 do provide quicker and more direct access to Hwy 54
from Rt W than the initial proposal (Option 1). When looking at the overall project, I still feel that the best option for all
businesses and users of the area would be best served by adding a forth, or merge, lane to the northe rn bridge
approach .
Thank you again for reaching out to gather opinions from those that this project will impact.

Subject: RE: [*EXTERNAL*] MoDOT Highway 54 Project in North Jefferson
Mr Plummer,
In reviewing the two options, both are far better than no access to Hwy 54 directly from the Rt W overpass. They would
both provide a quicker way to Jefferson City than going around the airport to Hwy 94 to the east or driving west to
access Hwy 63 at the crossover at Renz Farm Rd.
If given the choice, my preference would be for Option 2. My preference is based upon my concerns for the safety of
the employees and customers of MFA with regards to the length of the acceleration ramps . I believe that Option 2 gives
1
us somewhere around an additional 200 feet of merge lane . When merging into traffic southbound approaching the
bridge, that length of the merge lane is important to consider. The additional length within Option 2 wil l give loaded,
over-width, or slow moving equipment additional time to merge. I understand the safety concerns associated with the
recreational areas along 4th St but also think that the vast majority of traffic for recreation happens at a different time
than peak business traffic, unless there are additional plans for recreation in the area.
Option 3 still gives everyone access to the bridge much quicker than the first option that was presented. The corner
radius may allow vehicles to closer match speeds to help with the merge onto Hwy 54. Construction costs will be higher
for MODOT and the project will probably take longer to complete but the new ramp will be designed for the projected
traffic load.
Again , both options provide a better solut ion for the businesses impacted by this project . They will both provide quicker
access to cross the river into Jefferson City than the initial proposal with no ramps or access off of the Rt. W overpass. I
would like to thank those involved in seeking our opinions on this project.

MEMO TO: Local Stakeholders

I received this email below from David Bange with the City of Jefferson. David asked me to forward it to the
stakeholders group on the north side of the Missouri River . We've already been in touch with Jason Branstetter.
Would you please respond to this email with your thoughts about supporting Option 3? We'll pass that along to the
City. If you have questions we'll also try to connect you with the appropriate local or state contact. Thank you!

MoDOT had presented and to give our option as to what the City's stance should be. We reviewed the traffic count data
and concluded that either option 2 or 3 as presented at the public meeting in January would work with option 3 being
more favorable because it separated the ramp traffic from the park uses on Fourth Street, would likely be more easily

understood by the driving public, and by having a larger radius would allow trucks to better match the speed of traffic as
they reached the acceleration lane.
The Committee asked if staff had vetted this with the business community in North Jefferson and wanted to have their

If you could let me know if this is something that would be possible for the Chamber to undertake or not I would

Parking Garage Expansion and Parking Rates
Staff request input from the committee on the current direction for the parking garage
replacement/rehabilitation project including potential rate increase implementation.
Additional, Staff request direction as to concerns voiced of the fine amount for the
Expired 1 0-Hour Meter.
When the meter times were extended and rate increased in the vicinity of the Capital,
the fine amount for an expired 1 0-hour meter was also adjusted. Currently the 1 0-hour
meter rates range from $0.25 to $1.00 per hour. It was decided that the fine amount for
an expired meter would vary based on the rate of the meter. That was set to be ten
times the hourly rate (cost to feed the meter all day) plus $20. The resulting fine
amounts are shown below.
Meter Rate Fine
$0.25 $22.50
$0.50 $25.00
$1.00 $30.00
It is also worth noting that the expired meter citation can only be issued once per day. If
a person were to park in a shorter time limit zone all day multiply tickets would be
issued through-out the day.

Wunderlich, Brenda; Morasch, Matt; Fitzwater, Ron; Adrianrjamla@aol.com
Crowell, Steve
Public Works & Planning Committee, request to get on the agenda
I just received a phone call from Mary Adrian from Cole County Historical Society. She said the recent changes to parking
on the Madison street block have presented some challenges with the increase in cost per hour and ticket. It is now $1
per hour to park there, and even if someone feeds the meter for one hour but stays a little longer they could also
receive a $30 ticket. Her concern mostly is the visitors to the Cole County Historicdl Society and the Governor's
Mansion.
The Cole County Historical Society would like to be on the next Public Works agenda for Thursday, March 9. I have
copied Mary Adrian on this email.
Also if you would like to reach out to her directly to discuss this here is her email address and phone
number: Adrianrjamla@aol.com 573-694-4039
Mary, if you have any questions about the meeting you can also reply to this email. Ron, please let Mary know if you
approve of getting the Historical Society on the agenda for discussion to hear their concerns.
While I did mention this item briefly at the last Public Works meeting about my concern that it has the highest ticket of
$30 while being in close proximity to visitors to the Mansion, I did not initiate the phone call, Mary called me to express
her concerns.
I believe the changes that council made are working well for Capitol Avenue that visitors to the Capitol can park for 10
hours, perhaps a potential solution would be to lower the hours on Madison Street in that block since if people are
wanting long term parking for the Capitol they could go to the garage in that location, and most people who are parking
there are likely going to historical society or visiting offices on Capitol Avenue or the restaurants and shops downtown
on Madison, so 10 hours may not be necessary for that block. Any discussion or changes should include others in that
area as well.
Regardless they would like to express their opinion to council and ask if changes could be considered.
Thank you,
Carrie

Date: February 27, 2023
To: Public Works and Planning Committee
From: David Bange P.E., City Engineer 0 ?b
Subject: 2023 Capital Improvement Project Work Plan
City Staff is asking the Committee to concur with the attached Capitol Improvement Work Plan for the
Engineering Division and to provide direction and project focus in regard to the City/County cooperative
projects .
The Engineering Division continues to work on projects within the joint City/County category of the
sales tax. Currently there are six of these proj ects in some stage of development. The first of these the
MSP project which is making use to funds from Sales Tax G. Coordination continues with the State and
in working through the requirements for the SHPO. Bartlett and West is under contract to produce a
conceptual design for the High Street Viaduct and the City providing them the survey and meeting with
them as the plans are developed. The County is engaging CMPS to redraw/refresh the design of
Wildwood Drive and is currently working on the Transload facility in Algoa. City staff are exp loring
options and looking to define the scope of the Monroe Street project, and are also preparing an
alignment study for the extension of Militia Drive. Although unsuccessful in a bid for TAP grant funding
for the Stadium and Satinwood project we understand that the project ranked favorably and the City
looks to reapply for those funds in the next grant cycle coming in May .
At the local street level, we look to support operations in contracting for the asphalt street overlay
program and other asphalt street treatments as well and continuing the concrete street repair program.
On the stormwater front there are a number of projects that are about to bid including work on Belair,
lsom and Major. There are also several projects that need to be designed to coordinate work in areas
where Missouri American Water will be replacing their water lines. These include the intersection of
Chestnut and Leslie, Brooks Street, and West Main/West Circle . We also intend to bid a project to line
a number of stormwater pipes. If the Private Stormwater Conversion Program is approved by Council
there will need to be work associated with getting that program established, evaluating, and preparing
estimates for the applications received .
In the pedestrian category we are completing the construction of the Adams Street sidewalk and are
preparing to bid a project to build sidewalk on Veith Drive. We also look to work on sidewalks along
parts of Eastland Drive. Work will co ntinue on the two TAP projects that were awarded funding, namely,
the Southwest and Lafayette Crosswalks and the 179 Bypass Trail. We plan on constructing the former
in late summer and look to bid the latter for a winter construction. We also look to apply for additional

Memorandum
TAP grants with submissions for the Boggs Creek Trail, and others such as the Lillian Drive Trail, and
the Trail Connection into the Colonial Hills Subdivision.·
Work will also be done in support of our transit division as well as assisting as may be needed for work
at the airport.

Subject: Resolution to join a Class Action relating to Emerging Contaminants
PFAs (poly-fluoroalkyl substances) are carcinogens that the Environmental Protection
Agency and Missouri DNR are in the process of addressing with respect to water
utilities.
While Jefferson City is in a good position relative to risk, we will incur costs to meet this
emerging contaminant issue such as:
A) Approximately $8,000 annually higher testing costs
B) Potential capital cost for Algoa treatment facility could be approximately $200k
more cost in approximately 8 years.
We have the opportunity to enter into a class action suit that could recover these costs.
There is no cost to the City to enter into the suit.
Staff recommends forwarding this resolution to the March 20, 2023 Council Meeting.
Let me know if you have any questions.
