Staff said the machine is needed to offload about 60 semi loads of large box culvert sections.
Nut graf: Public works staff explained the city expects roughly 120 culvert pieces to be delivered (two sections per semi load), each section weighing just under 17,000 pounds; the rental machine is a roughly 55,000-pound excavator capable of lifting the sections from the trucks and setting them in the ditch.
Public works staff member Mike said the culvert sections will be manufactured and staged for delivery this summer and that the city's older excavator lacks the lifting capacity. \"That's why it doesn't pick it up anymore,\" he said, referencing the older machine. Council approved the rental on two readings.

Nut graf: Parks staff said the project will be design-build and will use existing drawings; the work will add parking, new court surfaces and fencing, and address neighborhood complaints about vehicles using the unpaved gravel lot.
Staff member John said the funds came from lowering the reserve account and that the city would use existing drawings and a design-build contractor to provide engineering and construction. \"It will also include the installation of a basketball and pickleball pad, which we will finish with fencing and stuff like that after they do the pads, sidewalks, and everything else around that,\" John said. He added the project will reduce damage from vehicles engaging in reckless driving on the unpaved lot and should improve parking for recurring events such as 5Ks.
The ordinance was approved on two readings; staff confirmed the price in the presentation remained valid as of June.

Nut graf: The amendment funds further engineering and community engagement for gateway signage at several highway entrances; staff said the designs could be tailored to celebrate schools, civic organizations or local industries and that actual construction is likely to follow a separate budget cycle in 2027.
City official Troy said the amendment would fund work to finalize sites, perform environmental and geotechnical studies and prepare construction-ready documents for up to five signs (two on Highway 5, one near Highway 60/64 by the high school, one near Highway 32 by the public works facility and one yet-to-be-determined site). \"This would be 60,000 to get us through all the environmental work, finalize the sites, and, probably finalize the design in conjunction with the rebranding efforts,\" Troy said. The item passed on two readings.
Ending: Staff said they will pursue public engagement on design options and coordinate the gateway signage work with other Exit 127 planning; the ordinance becomes city code 71-16.","Council approved an amendment to a task order with Olsen Engineering to complete environmental studies, surveys and construction documents for up to five gateway signs; staff said final construction would likely be pursued in 2027 after branding/UI design and public engagement.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6168462,"Council approves engineering study for Rolling Hills Road stormwater and paving; debate centers on traffic counts and safety",1047,776000,1823000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5407599-a2ee56e5545b65df570b470d73b8b46f&start=776&end=1823","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5407599-a2ee56e5545b65df570b470d73b8b46f/thumbnail_776000.jpg","/articles/6168462/Lebanon-City/Laclede-County/Missouri/Council-approves-engineering-study-for-Rolling-Hills-Road-stormwater-and-paving-debate-centers-on-traffic-counts-and-safety","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6168462-f309cc42daa8413e3b6e41ca7684b2ac/orig.mp4?Expires=1775261038&Signature=cQeoSbYGZXYZvV0FH~9oCtooEBJ1uxQQ9bNuVodaH9TNgY4VI1rN2SsssAla8Zuv2ldk7PTIzY~eqQTueWc0Wz~oAMvZi90DS2SZADFv03d2HjRCBzgDET-VavVrjaJMoxPM7w0f1YlpXtvnIJ~8RZPA-tYWyjVnwo7U4z-0X8zdOYrpLJnz96NsZwxTwUwT0R8hSRh4-DJz2sCrkDLR~lckyk5zWPoroRx8BU18T6gvrDyktwZOEEl1eO9BrLK~g9iKnFjsTBdNcM7QP90B~ez8tMRdDdd2l77Dae76OZrVvR8If5EGtthmGVJMJQq9rC3LoZXH4NA5tyD7a1KEag__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Lebanon City Council on July 14 approved a contract for preliminary engineering with Archer Elgin for stormwater improvements and pavement work along Rolling Hills Road north of Herndon Road, including study of a potential detention area and intersection safety solutions.
Nut graf: Staff presented traffic-count data and pavement-condition scores to justify engineering work; council members asked whether the city should prioritize a targeted redesign of the Rolling Hills–Gateway/Highway 64 intersection and noted that MoDOT involvement and right-of-way acquisition will be required for some options.
Public works staff member Mike summarized traffic counts on Rolling Hills Road, saying the corridor segment between Jefferson Street and Gateway carries about \"1,284 vehicles per day,\" with counts north of Gateway roughly \"a little less than 600 cars a day.\" He said the street's pavement condition is mostly \"very poor\" with one block rated \"poor,\" and described recurring stormwater flows that wash out driveways north of Herndon. Mike said engineers would provide preliminary designs and multiple proposals and estimated about 45 days for a preliminary design deliverable.
Council members raised safety concerns at the Rolling Hills–Gateway intersection and asked whether the town could prioritize about 100 feet of pavement at the highway approach or look at moving the intersection to the east, both of which would likely require MoDOT coordination and possible property acquisition. Mike said the city had counted traffic across 2021'025 and recommended prioritization by pavement condition and traffic counts, noting other streets have higher daily traffic.
The ordinance approving engineering services with Archer Elgin was introduced and passed in two readings; staff said the goal is to have engineering approved by next spring with construction programming possibly in 2027.
Ending: The council recorded the ordinance as Ordinance 71-13; staff will return with engineer proposals and timelines and pursue MoDOT coordination as needed.","Council approved preliminary engineering with Archer Elgin for stormwater and roadway improvements along Rolling Hills Road after staff presented traffic counts, pavement condition, and potential detention options; members pressed for targeted intersection improvements and noted MoDOT involvement.",{"_33":112,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":113,"_41":114,"_43":115,"_45":116,"_47":117,"_49":118,"_51":119,"_53":120,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":121,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":122,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6168467,"Lebanon council approves contract to move city internet and phone services to ShowMe Technologies",191,160000,351000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5407599-a2ee56e5545b65df570b470d73b8b46f&start=160&end=351","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5407599-a2ee56e5545b65df570b470d73b8b46f/thumbnail_160000.jpg","/articles/6168467/Lebanon-City/Laclede-County/Missouri/Lebanon-council-approves-contract-to-move-city-internet-and-phone-services-to-ShowMe-Technologies","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6168467-29a21818c9d2ed15e5708f9049f279a4/orig.mp4?Expires=1775261038&Signature=Fpvi3hYm~orm3ZQn6c9wz9SCOqmzCmW4Cu~D03lTuspfnvcr9t5e06~SX6XLBnRUPxqGVoZpkQZJVqL4-VHli93ejxjDxt7MeCjSCtXV5xR2R-MaGnr~VVsmFIx6HYWjm3QsZUV3ae8sXc-0dc9KmSRhCWzU~8pJovFwJeKBLHO15MDkVv60PV0nh-P0I4tMCo58JH7ym4Tcj0lBovqo-JGGZM7r89wxGfvy7ee2X9lq0LLdRS04mhwy4buHzlfIspYvmxg3oeDzSko3oEaRfBk22qC33dVa5JuXBUWKIxjvUPmCVDu4OyNlkQoeNgTBbx1dIGE7Mgik8pBylfpgHA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Lebanon City Council on July 14 approved an agreement with ShowMe Technologies to provide the city's internet and phone services, a move city staff said will increase capacity, centralize fiber repairs and reduce recurring outages.
Nut graf: City information-technology staff told the council the current provider has not consistently delivered contracted speeds and the new contract will consolidate fiber and service management while increasing available capacity to a 10-gigabit service.
City staff member Jared said the city previously bid ISP services and switched providers over the years and is now proposing the move to ShowMe to \"streamline some of the network management aspects of it as well.\" Jared said the city currently pays for \"500 up and down\" under the last contract but on a good day the provider delivered about \"170 up and down,\" and that the network has experienced multiple outages. \"So we're ready to move,\" Jared said. He told the council the new service will provide higher capacity and that the phones require a mandatory 10-day processing time while the ISP portion could be completed \"within 2 weeks if approved.\"
Council members moved and seconded the ordinance in two readings. The motion passed on roll call with all voting members recorded as yes.
Ending: The contract ordinance becomes city code 71-10. Staff advised the council they will schedule the phone cutover (10-day processing) and pursue the ISP transition immediately upon contract execution.","Council voted to approve an agreement with ShowMe Technologies to provide the city's internet and phone services, citing repeated outages and a planned upgrade to a 10-gigabit network; phones expected to transition within about 10 days and ISP service within two weeks after approval.","actionData","errors"]
