WE HAVE TWO RESOLUTIONS.

WELL CONTRACT 0 5 0 6 2 5 FRM AND SOURCE.

WELL CONTRACT 0 1 1 7 2 3 JDC TWO EXISTING COMPETITIVE BID CONTRACT, GOVERNMENT CONTRACTS, AND AN ACTUAL COST TO THE COUNTY IN THE AMOUNT OF $375,663.

THAT'D BE GREAT.

I UNDERSTAND.

I WE ARE WAITING ON THE COUNTY EXECUTIVE.

UNFORTUNATELY WE DON'T HAVE, WHENEVER YOU'RE READY, MR. EXECUTIVE, MR. CHAIRMAN, MEMBERS OF THE LEGISLATURE OF THIS COMMITTEE.

I APOLOGIZE.

I HAD, I HAD THE, UH, VIDEO ON THERE, BUT I DIDN'T HAVE THE SOUND ON AND I LOOKED UP AND CHAIRMAN ANDERSON WAS SAYING THINGS, BUT I DIDN'T HEAR WHAT HE HAD TO SAY.

WE WERE ON, UH, THE FIRST BEFORE YOU, UH, IS, LET ME BACK UP.

IF YOU ALL REMEMBER THE MCCUNE SCHOOL FOR BOYS.

IT'S OVER A HUNDRED AND SOME ODD YEARS OLD.

UH, IT SERVED THE COUNTY WELL FOR A WHILE AND THEN IT BECAME DISREPAIR AND IT'S BEEN SITTING THERE NEGLIGENT FOR YEARS AND YEARS.

UM, I GOT A CALL FROM ONE OF THE NEIGHBORS AND FROM THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT THAT GOES OUT THERE ALL THE TIME.

AND THE CRIMINAL ACTIVITY AND THE DRUG USE IN THERE IS AMAZING.

WE ACTUALLY WALKED THROUGH IT, BUT MY IDEA WAS CAN IT BE SAVED? CAN WE DO SOMETHING WITH IT? AND IT IS IN SUCH BAD SHAPE THAT IT IS A LIABILITY.

PEOPLE CAN GET HURT.

THE SHERIFF'S OUT THERE ALL THE TIME.

AND SO WHAT WE DID IS THIS HAD ALREADY BEEN MADE SURPLUS BY A PREVIOUS PREVIOUS LEGISLATURE.

AND SO WE PUT OUT 2, 2 4 2 9 PUBLIC WORKS.

PUBLIC WORKS.

THIS IS NOT MCCUNE.

NO.

OKAY.

NOT AHEAD TO THE GAME, BUT THAT, THAT'S GONNA BE A REALLY GOOD THING TO TALK ABOUT MCCUNE SCHOOL THERE IN FUTURE.

THANK YOU.

ATE FRANKLIN.

THIS IS, UH, 2 2 4 2 9.

THIS A 3 27.

THIS IS SOMETHING WE NEED TO DO TO, UH, MAKE BETTER ROADS YEAH.

IN JACKSON COUNTY.

SOUNDS GREAT.

AND THAT WILL GONNA BE REALLY GOOD PROPERTIES.

UH, I'M REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THE BECU PROPERTY AND I'LL TALK TO YOU ABOUT THAT NEXT COMMITTEE.

UM, THIS IS WHAT DIGS UP THE, UH, ASPHALT, PUTS THE NEW ASPHALT DOWN AND WE HAVE A, A COMPETITIVE BID TO PURCHASE THIS PIECE OF PIECE OF, UH, EQUIPMENT.

ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE EXECUTIVE? DO I HAVE A MOTION? SECOND.

ALRIGHT, I HAVE A MOTION TO SECOND.

ALL THOSE IN FAVOR PLEASE SAY AYE.

AYE.

THIS WILL BE RECOMMENDED TO THE GENERAL BODY FOR PER FOR ADOPTION.

ALRIGHT, NOW TO THE STAR OF THE SHOW.

2, 2, 4 3 2,

[22432 A RESOLUTION awarding a contract for the furnishing of demolition and clearance services for County owned property for use by the Public Works Department to Industrial Salvage and Wrecking of Kansas City, MO, under the terms and conditions of Request for Proposals No. 26-048, at an actual cost to the County not to exceed $600,000.00.]

UNDER THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF REQUESTS FOR PROPOSALS NUMBER 2 6 0 4 8 AT AN ACTUAL COST TO THE COUNTY NOT TO EXCEED $600,000.

MR. EXECUTIVE, MR. CHAIRMAN, MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE, IF YOU REWIND WHAT I JUST SAID, I WON'T GO BACK AGAIN.

I'LL TRY AND CATCH UP WHERE I WAS.

SO WHAT WE DID DEFINE TO, TO TRY AND REALIZE THIS, WE PUT TWO DIFFERENT BIDS SIMULTANEOUSLY AT THE SAME TIME.

THE FIRST BID WAS DO YOU WANNA BUY THIS PIECE OF PROPERTY? AND, BUT YOU HAVE TO TO DEMOLISH IT.

SO DO YOU WANNA BUY IT? IF YOU WANNA BUY IT, YOU GOTTA DEMOLISH IT.

AND AT THE SAME TIME WE PUT OUT BIDS, WILL YOU DEMOLISH IT? HOW MUCH WILL IT COST? WE HAD SEVERAL BIDS ON WANTING TO BUY THE PROPERTY, BUT THEY DID NOT WANT TO DEMOLISH IT.

AND WHAT WE THOUGHT AT THAT POINT IS WE'RE JUST PASSING OFF THE PROBLEM TO SOMEBODY ELSE.

THE SHERIFF'S STILL GONNA COME OUT THERE AND

[00:05:01]

WE DID HAVE THREE BIDS OF DEMOLITION.

I THINK ONE WAS ABOUT 1.2, ONE WAS SEVEN 50 AND THIS ONE WAS $600,000.

AND WHAT THIS COMPANY WILL DO, WE'LL GO IN AND, AND LEVEL IT, TAKE ALL THE ASBESTOS OUT AND REMOVE IT.

AND WHEN WE'RE DONE WITH THIS, WE WILL HAVE, I WOULDN'T SAY A PRISTINE, UH, PROPERTY, BUT WE'LL HAVE A PROPERTY THAT'S, THAT DOESN'T HAVE THE BUILDINGS ON, DOESN'T HAVE ANY LIABILITY, AND IT'S SOMETHING THAT FUTURE LEGISLATURES CAN DEAL WITH, WITH THAT BEAUTIFUL ACREAGE.

I MEAN IT'S, IT'S HUNDREDS OF ACRES OF LAND OUT THERE THAT COULD BE DEVELOPED.

SO THIS IS JUST TO THE CONTRACT WITH THE COMPANY TO DO THE DEMOLITION.

ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE COUNTY EXECUTIVE LEGISLATIVE HOUR? YES.

UH, THE MONEY FOR THIS IS GONNA COME FROM WHERE THIS ALREADY HAS ALREADY BEEN TAKEN OUT IN THE, IN THE, UH, ARPA MONEY.

THE INFRASTRUCTURE WAS PART OF THE, THE FUNDS THAT WE ASKED FOR WHEN WE ASKED FOR MUNICIPALITIES AND ASKED FOR THE, THE FRONT STEPS, THIS WAS PART OF THAT THAT'S ALREADY BEEN APPROPRIATED.

AND, UH, TO WHAT DEGREE WILL THIS BE PASSED ON TO A POTENTIAL PURCHASER? NOTHING AT ALL.

SO THIS WILL BE DONE IN THERE AND THEN, UH, THE FUTURE LEGISLATURE EXECUTIVE MAY, MIGHT SEND OUT BIDS FOR AGAIN, BUT THIS WILL JUST MAKE IT A CLEAR, NICE, PRISTINE, NOT PRISTINE, BUT, UH, NOT THOSE, UH, TERRIBLE BUILDINGS EXISTING.

OKAY.

THANK YOU.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR THE COUNTY EXECUTIVE? DO I HAVE A MOTION? DO I HAVE A SECOND? WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND.

ALL THOSE IN FAVOR, PLEASE SAY AYE.

AYE.

AYE.

THIS WILL BE RECOMMENDED TO THE GENERAL BODY FOR ADOPTION.

IS THERE NOTHING ELSE TO COME BEFORE PUBLIC WORKS THEN WE'RE ADJOURNED.
