Baldwin City Council Discusses Transportation, and Police Station

Kevin Surbaugh

---

The June 5, 2018 meeting of the Baldwin City Council meeting got started with technical issues as they tried to figure out the new live streaming equipment. It is now possible for residents to watch the council meeting, live on the cities website (http://www.baldwincity.org/CivicMedia), from the comforts of their home or office. Unfortunately, it can only be watched live, the video will not be saved or archived so that it can be seen at a later time.
Mikel Stoops, owner of Three Sisters Inn (1035 Ames) addressed the Council during public comments regarding some things he had learned.  His Bed and Breakfast is listed on Airbnb, and they; according to an agreement with the state are supposed to be paying taxes on any bookings that going through their site. However, Stoops has learned that they are not doing that.
Also under public comments, Matt McClure stepped up to introduce himself to the council as the new recreation commission. Council-member Tony Brown welcomed him to town.

Ashly Myers, Transportation Planner, Lawrence-Douglas County Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) introduced the council to the plan her organization had been working for the last couple years.   The Transportation 2040 Plan covers all areas of transportation in the county and is required by a Federal mandate for counties that meet the government's minimum population guidelines. Myers said it cannot be thrown together haphazardly, the plan has to make sense and there must be a real budget to pay for implementing it. To view, the plan residents can visit http://lawrenceks.org/mpo/t2040.  She also said that residents could attend an open house for the countywide Bike plan on June 12, 2018, between 5 and 6 p.m. There will also be a bike ride following from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m.

Mayor Casey Simoneau discusses the Police Station RFP.
Photographer Kevin Surbaugh

The council also addressed the RFP for the new Baldwin City Police Station. Two architectural firms submitted proposals on the adaptive reuse of the building at 203 First Street. Jay Zimmerschied, Lawrence who designed the public works building currently under construction and Paul Michelle, Kansas City and is the General Manager of BG Consultants.
Zimmerchied said his proposal would evaluate whether the building could be repurposed or if it would be better to construct a new structure. He did admit that he doubts new construction would be cheaper than repurposing.
Michelle said he would see what it would take to rejuvenate the building to meet Federal standards for a police station while making it fit within the community.  His firm has done police stations in communities across the country.
Mayor Casey Simoneau and the council asked the two to go back and narrow their proposals, as the council is buying this building to repurpose it and not interested in building new.

In other business the council:

• Unanimously alcohol waivers for the Winefest and the Car Show.
• Approved on a voice vote of 4-1, a mural grant application.  Council-Member A. J. Stevens cast the dissenting vote. The theme for the new mural is "Welcome to Baldwin City."
• Appointed a citizen Dog Park Advisory Board that will not be a Council Committee.

Baldwin City Council Discusses Business Registration

Kevin Surbaugh

---

Mayor Casey Simoneau listens to thoughts on a
business registration.
Photographer Kevin Surbaugh

In its regular second meeting of May, the Baldwin City council made quick work of the agenda. A meeting in which the council, meet for just a little over a half hour before adjourning into an executive session to discuss personnel matters.
During the brief meeting the council unanimously approved a resolution that would give the council time more time to request a bond to finance recent purchases, should it decide to. The resolution does not obligate the council one way or the other. Rather it sets a sixty-day window for a bond proposal should they decide to go that route.
 The biggest discussion of the night was regarding a proposal for a business registration. Something that previous councils have discussed in passing, but have not taken it any further. It is also something that the Baldwin City Chamber has requested. There was no ordinance on the table but was on the agenda to get the councils thoughts. Mayor Casey Simoneau suggested a ten or fifteen dollar registration fee. Such a registration would better assist the city in its "buy local" policy so that they know what businesses are in the local area. Simoneau said that this may not get every business, but it would help the city to be better aware of local businesses. He asked business owner Mike Bosch who was in the attendance at the meeting his thoughts. Bosch said, that he was a big fan of the "buy local" policy and that a ten dollar registration fee was "no big deal." He concurred that it would give the city an idea of who is local in town.
The council; mostly supportive of the idea, will move forward with instructing staff to draft an ordinance for the next council meeting, which will be June 5.
