I. APPROVAL OF MINUTES

1. May 17, 2021

The minutes were approved as submitted.

II. DISCUSSION ITEMS

1. Executive Session

The executive session was not held.

2. Line Item Budget Presentation - All Funds Including Preliminarily Approved Objectives and CIP

City Administrator Moody reviewed in depth the funds, revenues, and expenses for the budget.

Ad valorem (property taxes) show an increase in 2024 which relates to assessed values more than an

inflation figure. Also the amount of debt service continues to drop and that reduction leads to an

increase in property tax revenue in the General Fund.

City Administrator Moody said they have projected for a decrease in sales taxes from Walmart and

Lowe’s for the assumed opening of Menard’s, and they wanted to reflect that impact.

CMBR Madigan asked where the quarter cent sales tax increase is reflected. City Administrator Moody

said that is shown in the Special Infrastructure Fund.

CMBR Kelly asked if there were notes to the report that would denote the explanations Mr. Moody has

given specifically in regards to Menard’s. City Administrator Moody said he has added some at the

bottom of the pages, but he will also add that comment.


The General Fund Overhead reflects a budget amount for the MARC diversity training in 2022 that is

being made available to the elected members and staff. There are also professional services for zoning

code updates which is split into two years.

Transfers to the Community Center have increased to cover the costs of the parking lot and ADA

improvements projects.

CMBR Madigan asked where the transfer to the Special Infrastructure Fund was coming from. City

Administrator Moody said all the transfers originate from the General Fund to other funds.

Transfers to the Pool Fund reflect both capital needs and operating deficits.

In Police Operations, City Administrator Moody highlighted animal control, a service for which they

contract with the City of Mission. They are waiting on final numbers from them and will update the

fund balance. For the Police Department in 2022, they are anticipating about $115,000 for new and

replacement equipment, and for 2024, they plan to replace three vehicles.

In the Municipal Court department, they have entered into a contract for court services, the judge and

prosecutor which results in a smaller salaries budget.

Mayor Kelly asked about the increased travel expenses for 2022 in General Administration. City

Administrator Moody said the Eastern Kansas GFOA fall conference is in there for $500.00 and the

Kansas Manager’s Association fee is $300. This past year they attended the conferences virtually

resulting in a lower budget expense which explains next year showing an increase.

Public Works shows an objective under Other Contractual Services that includes $1,000 for a web-

based map objective to track leaf collection.

Mayor Kelly asked if the steep decline in electric budgeted is due to the new solar panels. City

Administrator Moody said they have shown a reduction in electric based on the solar being

operational. However, they have a payment to Evergy to pay for the solar installation and have added

that to Other Contractual Services. The plan is for there to be a net savings.

$7,000 has been added to the budget to cover a three-year phased replacement of all street signs in

Roeland Park.

CMBR Faidley asked about the worker’s comp increase. City Administrator Moody they saw an

increase in their experienced modification factor. There was a 30 percent increase due to a permanent

partial disability case.

In the Governing Body Department, there was discussion about the cost for removing the

discriminatory language from the covenant restrictions. When this was first presented, there was a

preliminary approval for this objective. There is an expectation that the cost would be $127,500 split

over 2022 and 2023, the time expected to complete the objective.

Mayor Kelly said the price has caused him some hesitation and asked if they have estimated staff time

in addition to the $127,500. He said he would expect most of the effort would be done by legal and

some effort put in by the Racial Equity Committee. They would have to reach residents to see if


volunteers would be willing to serve on a limited homeowners association board. Mayor Kelly said if

they are looking at major resources, then it would make sense to look at the county for help. He said

he is not comfortable signing off on $127,000. He added that they all agree that this is an important

issue but does not believe this is the best solution.

CMBR Madigan said he agreed with the Mayor. He too would like to find a solution that has a lesser

cost or a simpler way of doing it. The covenants are covered by the Fair Housing Act and could not be

enforced.

CMBR Kelly agreed the cost is higher, but this is an affront to certain individuals. He said they can’t

trust the county or other people to do it. They need to take this on as a community and put their

money where their mouth is.

CMBR Brauer said the cost is concerning, but she would also like to explore other possibilities to see if

there are other solutions while not ruling out this particular one.

CMBR Dickens said this was brought up in the Racial Equity meeting and discussed last year. The cost

was prohibitive and is in favor of finding ways to address the issue but the cost is high and without big

substance.

CMBR Kelly asked how much was spent on Roe Manor Heights to remove the covenant restrictions.

City Administrator Moody said that reflects 60 plats plus the amendment process, and only doing five

properties at a time. CMBR Kelly said it was okay for the City to do Roe Manor Heights when they

wanted to do it, but now the price is too high.

Mayor Kelly said there were extenuating circumstances for Roe Manor. His suggestion would be to

fund the research in this year’s budget. He recommended doing a title search so they know how many

properties they would need to discuss in 2023.

CMBR Faidley said she would be fine with funding the research. She does have some other

reservations. There is a person of color, a long-time Roeland Park resident, whose opinion matters on

this. She said this is a part of Roeland Park’s history and has some reservations about taking it away.

City Administrator Moody said he would estimate 75 plats need a title search at $100 for each history

search to find covenants recorded with the plat that contain discriminatory language.

CMBR Kelly said his plat has the language and when they saw it when they purchased the property,

they were shocked.

There was consensus to move forward with the research and will discuss the item once they know how

many plats are affected.

CMBR Faidley asked if they have adequate funding needed for the newly created Parks & Recreation

Department. Administrator Moody said having Mr. Nichols on board will help them keep on a better

track with their position in equipment and facilities.

City Administrator Moody reviewed the Debt Service Fund Balances. CMBR Faidley said the reduction

in balances looks good.


The Pool Fund is also a new fund and Mr. Moody reviewed those numbers. Under salaries for 2021,

the $165,000 reflects an increased starting pay to lifeguards of $12/hour and carried through 2024.

Electric expenses at the pool are also reduced in anticipation of solar and Other Services are increased

to cover the lease portion of the payments of solar attributed to the pool.

CMBR Faidley asked if there is a possibility that with increased attendance and programs that it could

help to offset some of the loss. City Administrator Moody said they have been conservative with their

revenue estimates and increased attendance would help those numbers.

County courthouse sales tax sunsets in 2027 and have been allocating those funds to street

improvements.

CARS funding is 50 percent of construction costs and fluctuates depending on the project. Elledge

Street is scheduled in 2022. Two other projects, one with Mission and one with Fairway, are also

planned. Those cities are taking the lead and will receive those reimbursements. Roeland Park is

looking for a net cost to themselves for their part in those projects.

The City is also receiving $122,000 from JCPRD toward parking lot improvements at the Community

Center.

CMBR Faidley asked if the Community Center Fund would be depleted with parking lot/drainage/ADA

improvements. She asked how that impacts another transfer in for Community Center improvements

itself. City Administrator Moody said two phases of $1 million are occurring out of the Special

Infrastructure Fund. They also anticipate getting the maximum allotment in CDBG grants in support of

Phase 1 of the $1 million worth of improvements to the Community Center.

Phase 3 at R Park had an original estimate of $304,000. $50,000 of that was spent on design in 2021.

They have added in $100,000 for fall protection and $77,000 for the green traffic garden. There is also

an additional $61,000 for a larger playground replacement, which after speaking with the engineer,

would get them the size of equipment they wanted.

CMBR Faidley asked if they were dependent on Phase 3 design work engineering before setting the

final numbers. City Administrator Moody said the numbers are ballpark because they have not done

any design and it is tough to estimate the cost of the traffic garden.

(Brief Recess)

City Administrator Moody continued with his presentation on the Special Infrastructure Fund and

upcoming street projects.

The Building Fund accounted for the sale of land to Sunflower Medical. It also reflects expenses for

planned improvements and maintenance to City Hall.

Under Professional Services, there is a planned facility assessment for a Public Works facility. Also

budgeted is the second half of the annexation payment to the City of Mission.


CMBR Kelly asked where the $1.2 million reserve for the Public Works building is reflected. City

Administrator Moody said it is shown as a restricted asset on the budget sheet.

City Administrator Moody also provided the numbers for the City’s TIF and TDD funds.

CMBR Madigan asked about the landscaping, lighting, and parking lot at Walmart that was contingent

on whether Walmart stayed. The property owners, who are not Walmart, have avoided any

improvements to the lot. City Administrator Moody said the landowner can ask to amend their

agreement. There is also a 2 to 1 assistance available for improvements. Their plan was to have a way

to improve the area and quickly re-rent it if Walmart leaves. He asked what incentive there is to the

property owner if Walmart stays for them to make improvements.

CMBR Faidley said they just need to get something done, that it’s way past time. They’ve made Roe

improvements and now they need to look at what they can do.

Mayor Kelly said this is a conversation that needs to happen but not at this meeting.

CMBR Madigan said the residents are complaining about the parking lot. Mayor Kelly said he has

heard from residents all over the city about the site.

City Administrator Moody said for TIF 3 which includes The Rocks and the Boulevard Apartments, they

are paying for the water line extension in 2021. Roe Parkway design will also begin in 2021 with

construction in 2022 for some improvements, maintenance, and a sidewalk.

Mr. Moody said he created a new Fund 550 to account for American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA)

disbursements. He has budgeted $329,000 over two years, which is the least amount they will collect.

If disbursements do not include townships, then it will be over a million dollars split over two years.

They still need to have a discussion on how to use the resources and see what other communities and

agencies are doing. He has preliminarily plugged in food, utility and housing assistance.

REAL ESTATE PROPERTY TAX

• Property taxes comprised 17% of total revenues and 36% of General Fund revenues in

2020.

• Roughly half of all property tax receipts are remitted to the City in Q1 and the other half

are remitted in Q3.

• The average annual change in assessed value between 2008 and 2022 is 3.5%.

• The average annual change in assessed value the past three years is 6%.

• SB 13 of 2021 repeals the tax lid. If a community intends to collect more property taxes in

2022 than collected in 2021 a public hearing must be held on that subject.

• 1 mill has roughly a $105,000 impact on the budget with $100k coming from property tax

and $5k coming from county shared sales taxes that are tied to the mill.

SB 13 SUMMARY

• Repeals the property tax lid law effective 1/1/2021

• Establishes notice and public hearing requirements for entities seeking to collect property

tax in excess of the “revenue-neutral” rate

• Revenue-Neutral Rate = the tax rate for the current tax year that would generate the same

amount of property tax revenue as levied the previous tax year, using the current tax year’s

total assessed valuation

• Prohibits valuation increases resulting solely from normal maintenance of existing structures

• Expands the allowed acceptance of partial payments or payment plans for property taxes

Portion of Forgone Taxes Lost on New Construction $ 2,559

Property Tax Revenue per 1 Mill $ 102,759

SHORT COMINGS OF A REVENUE NEUTRAL PHILOSOPHY

• Assessed values have historically risen and a property tax funding methodology relies upon

that historical growth to generate additional revenue to offset inflationary increases in

expense. If a tax neutral philosophy is employed no new property tax revenue will be

available to offset increasing costs eventually resulting in services being reduced or

eliminated and assets falling into disrepair.

• If a revenue neutral philosophy were also applied to user fees such as pool memberships or

solid waste assessments this would result in greater need for tax subsidy for these services as

costs increase, further compounding the fiscal impact of a property tax neutral philosophy.

• The total cost of living for each of our Roeland Park families is 2.7% below the metro average.

Roeland Park property taxes for that family only make up 7.3% of the family’s total cost.

VARIABLES INFLUENCING THE DECISION TO INCREASE THE MILL BETWEEN 2011 AND 2014

• The City was seeing unprecedented declines in the assessed value (5 out of 6 years) with values

remaining depressed for an unprecedented period (it took 9 years for assessed values to return to

the 2008 level).

• The City was faced with increasing debt service costs between 2008 and 2015 due to the City

adding 7 new borrowings (in 7 years). 3 new leases were added in 2014 (dump trucks, street

sweeper, streetlight purchase).

• The City was faced with the potential loss of Walmart with an estimated overall annual loss of

revenue equal to roughly $700k (or 11.8 mill) for the initially two years following their move and

then equalizing at roughly $400k (or 6.75 mill). (The 5 mill reduction implemented in 2018 and 2019

equated to a $400k reduction in property taxes at that time).

• The City deferred capital investment through 2015 (creating a backlog), cut staffing levels, cut staff

benefits, provided no or very minimal pay adjustments for 5 years, and added debt through

equipment leases. All of these are common techniques employed when faced with financial

challenges. Staff levels and benefit levels remain as reduced; they have not been restored.

• All these variables and changes influenced the amount the mill was adjusted.

• Assessed values decreased 5 out of 6 years between 2008 and 2014 (unprecedented).

• It took 9 years for assessed values to return to the 2008 level (unprecedented).

• The average annual change in assessed value between 2008 and 2022 is 3.5%.

Winds – can reach 250mph and can clear pathways from 1 miles to 50 miles

Funnel Cloud - rotating cone-shaped column of air that does not touch the ground

Microburst - downdraft (sinking air) in a thunderstorm less than 2.5 miles in scale, can cause

tornado like damage

Wall cloud - develops prior to tornado or funnel cloud, abrupt lowering of rain free cloud into

another cloud

Waterspout - weak tornado that forms over water, can sometimes move to land

Tornado WatchBe prepared

- Tornado possible- Be ready to take cover- Watch areas are large, covering multiple places- Watches can quickly become warnings

JOCO Emergency Management

• What To Do

• If the outdoor warning system is heard at anytime other than scheduled test days, seek shelter and tune in to local radio, television, or your NOAA weather radio for instructions and information.

• It is important to remember that any thunderstorm can produce a tornado with little or no warning. When a tornado warning is issued, take the following immediate safety precautions:

• In homes or small buildings: Go to a pre-designated safe area such as the basement (if available) or to an interior room on the lowest floor, such as a closet or bathroom away from windows, doors, and outside walls. Upper floors are unsafe. If there is no time to descend, go to a closet, a small room with strong walls, or an inside hallway. Put as many walls as possible between you and the outside. Get under a sturdy protection (heavy table or work bench), cover yourself with some sort of thick padding (mattress, blankets, etc.), and use your arms to cover your head and neck to protect against flying debris.

• In schools, hospitals, factories, or shopping centers: Go to interior rooms and halls on the lowest floor. Stay away from glass enclosed places or areas with wide-span roofs such as auditoriums and warehouses. Crouch down and cover your head and neck. Centrally-located stairwells are good shelter.

JOCO Tornado Sirens

• Activation:

• The cities within the county own and maintain the sirens within their cities. Johnson County Emergency Management has the primary responsibility to activate the sirens throughout the county. In addition, the cities of Lenexa, Olathe, and Overland Park have the capability of activating their own sirens if they so chose.

• There are three basic criteria to activate the sirens for tornadoes:

• The National Weather Service issues a Tornado Warning for Johnson County,

• A county trained and certified weather spotter reports a tornado; or

• A tornado is reported by a local public safety official.

• Johnson County has the capability of activating all of the sirens at once or by activating one or more of five established siren zones. All sirens are sounded unless the threat is clearly confined to an individual zone (or zones). During a tornado warning, the sirens will be sounded for a three-minute duration in ten-minute intervals (three minutes on, seven minutes off) for as long as the tornado warning is in effect. There is NO “all-clear” siren.

Roeland Park Safety Items

• The City of Roeland Park & Johnson County do NOT have any designated tornado shelter locations specific for residents during a tornado. Following previous shown safety protocols is the best procedures available.

• The Community Center was a designated recovery or overnight sleep location during previous ice storms and other weather-related problems in the past but showed very limited participation. Items for consideration include but not limited to / Available space, sleeping supplies, food and medical supplies, utilities, security & staff, pets, response time & availability.

Look for shelter options when away from home

Review Safety Procedures # 1

• Tornados - Storms can develop quickly and can occur with little to no warning. Heavy winds and lightning caused by storms can cause extended power outages, uprooted trees, landslides, and downed or broken utility lines. Additionally, heavy rains can cause flash floods.

• Tornado Safety Tips

• Indoors:

• Have a pre-designated safety spot.

• Go to the lowest level possible in a structure.

• Put as many walls between you and the outside as you can.

• Avoid windows and glass.

• In a basement stay under the center support beam, a stairwell or heavy piece of furniture for protection from falling debris. Stay out of corners; debris often collects in corners.

• If you have no area below ground level, use a hallway, closing doors off to outside rooms. A small interior room (bathroom or closet) away from outside walls and windows would be preferable to large rooms or rooms with outside walls.


• Outside or in homes of modular construction:

• Get to a safe shelter if possible. Do not try to outrun a tornado in your car. If caught in the open, leave a vehicle and go to a low-lying area such as a ditch or ravine. Lie flat and cover your head.

• Mobile homes, even if tied down, offer little protection from tornadoes and should be abandoned

• While watching the weather, listen for:

• Tornado Watch

• Tornado Warning

• Severe Thunderstorm Watch

• Severe Thunderstorm Warning


• During the storm:

• Avoid handling metal, electrical equipment, telephones, bathtubs, water faucets and sinks, because electric current from lightening can travel through wires and pipes

• If you are outside, take cover in a stable facility. Avoid taking shelter under trees

• Tune in to local TV/radio channels for emergency advisories and instructions

• Avoid walking through water that has seeped in your home - it may contain hazardous materials

• If you are asked to evacuate your home, disconnect all electrical appliances

• Avoid downed power lines and broken gas lines.

• After the storm:

• Assess your immediate environment

• Report fallen trees, flooded streets or damaged public utilities to proper department

• Stay tuned to local weather stations for updated information

Next Steps for Tornado Emergency Planning

• Provide information to the community through social media outlets on recommended emergency steps to take before, during, and after a tornado.

• Inform “Block Captains” to contact residents in their area to relay information of who has a basement to share during severe weather alerts or tornados.

• Ensure local businesses have an emergency action plan for citizens and employees during severe weather alerts or tornados.

• Establish an annual community awareness safety training event for citizens in partnership with local public safety officials and JOCO Emergency Management.

REMEMBER

BE PREPARED

• IF YOU FAIL TO PLAN …….

• THEN YOU CAN PLAN ON FAILING.
