Title
An Ordinance approving a Public Service Agreement by and between the City of Lee's Summit, Missouri and the Downtown Lee's Summit Community Improvement District and authorizing the City Manager to execute the same by and on behalf of the City. (PWC 12/7/20)
Body
This Public Service Agreement (“PSA”) between the City and the Downtown Lee's Summit Community Improvement District (“District”) is for core services that were central to the District’s creation. The District's purpose is to preserve and promote Downtown Lee's Summit by providing funding for public services and improvements that are needed to sustain the area as a viable and vibrant part of the community. The activities provided in this PSA are only a base part of the District's current and future public services and improvements.
A similar, initial PSA was approved in 2015 and extended for six months in 2020 due to COVID impacts on meetings and operations.
Under this PSA the District will compensate the City for certain City provided services that relate to the maintenance of the downtown streetscape improvements, enhanced services, and administrative functions required by state law. The following outlines the services the City will provide:
1. Trash removal from regular, public receptacles approved and placed by the City, at the City’s discretion, within the boundaries of the District by the City or the City’s selected contractors.
2. Landscape materials and maintenance of the plant materials placed in the planters approved and placed by the City, at the City’s discretion, located within the boundaries of the District, excluding planters that are part of any other agreement, by the City or the City’s selected contractors.
3. To provide streetlight electricity and regular maintenance for the decorative, public streetlights located within the boundaries of the District with work to be performed by the City or the City’s selected contractors.
4. Maintenance of other streetscape improvements including, but not limited to, pavers, trees, tree grates, benches, waste and recycling receptacles, and permanent electrical outlets located within the boundaries of the District with work to be performed by the City or the City’s selected contractors
5. Review and comment on the District’s annual budget and other reports to be filed with the City.
The City will be reimbursed for services 1-4 the amount equal to 75% of the City’s actual costs, provided such costs do not to exceed 10% of the District's annual revenue. For service 5, the District will pay the City an annual administrative fee of $250.
Due to the interim extension of the previous PSA, this is an initial 6 month term with four, one year renewals.
