City staff recommended a three-year IT and VoIP services contract with NOC after an RFP and interviews. \"We decided that it was, a good idea to go with, NOC for additional 3 years,\" a staff member told the council, and said the all-in price in the recommended contract would be about $28,000 compared with roughly $36,000 the city paid the prior year. Staff said five firms submitted proposals and identified AQM, Essential Network Technologies (Forward Slash Technology), GFI Digital and NOC as proposers; staff said one other finalist carried additional on-site or per-occasion charges that made NOC the lower all-in option.

The council moved the IT item forward on a voice vote. Motion: move to send the IT and VoIP services contract with NOC to the regular council meeting. Motion by Hautmeyer; second by Briggs. Voice vote: all said aye.

Other items the council advanced included:
- A temporary site license agreement for an annual cell-on-wheels deployment at the fair (staff described this as a repeat of last year and said the contract is renewed annually). Motion by Baer; second by Patke. Voice vote: all said aye.
- A material-testing and inspection agreement with Cochran for the Fox Crest extension (bridge/culvert and roadway tied to a development agreement). Staff described the contract as an \"at most\" cost; the firm will perform testing per required tests. Motion by Patke; second by Briggs. Voice vote: all said aye.
- A design contract with Horn Architects to renovate the old pool bathhouse into park office space and conditioned storage. Staff said capital-improvement sales-tax funds are budgeted for the work, with roughly half in the current year and the remainder in the next budget year. Motion by Holtmeyer; second by Patke. Voice vote: all said aye.
- A parks user-fee code amendment that reduces many facility deposits and adds fees (including new rental fees for a riverfront playground pavilion, motorsports events, line-marking for utilities at the fairgrounds, pickleball-court rentals and a disc-golf tournament fee). Staff said some deposit levels were lowered to avoid pricing users out and that permit scheduling and a pavilion-permit card have reduced confusion. Motion by Packy; second by Baer. Voice vote: all said aye.
- Riverfront restroom addition and renovation (phase split): staff said the project is supported by a Recreational Trails Program (RTP) grant of $250,000 with a grant expiration of Oct. 31, 2026; the council moved the contract forward after staff explained the work includes an ADA-accessible connection, heated year-round family-change restrooms and renovations to the existing building. Motion by Packy; second by Hope Howard. Voice vote: all said aye.

All items were advanced from the workshop for action at a future council meeting. No roll-call tallies were recorded in the workshop for these voice votes; motions recorded in the transcript are by mover/second as noted above.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","City of Washington Council Workshop Meeting 04/07/25","oneSentenceSummary","The City Council at its April 7 workshop voted to advance multiple contracts and a parks fee code amendment for further consideration by the full council.","taxTitle","Washington, Franklin County, Missouri","taxId",58415,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6026541,"Storm event floods training area, closes roads and increases sewer flows; city crews respond",217,1976000,2193000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5736629-b22a7ba880132d3c9637af8a848fc9ac&start=1976&end=2193","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5736629-b22a7ba880132d3c9637af8a848fc9ac/thumbnail_1976000.jpg","/articles/6026541/Washington/Franklin-County/Missouri/Storm-event-floods-training-area-closes-roads-and-increases-sewer-flows-city-crews-respond","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6026541-3d37d96e8bb6c13af2251aa4c066dc88/orig.mp4?Expires=1770964939&Signature=NIvOAonUuJaRPvjkDo9e6yGVRXiaRJan0vXAmgi9Lfukx8Yop7yCvOGQtxtIspXUYDGb0UFLPSsjU9AjV0DhFpzJqX8dZPmlvEjf8QtKGTFw86Ajqs-lK3~nsf7T1Urznr62D8k5vtgqJxPCuOOqt3MEO4mJvAU-rlxdCEsin7oYCROxL8~lJC6qodHdrHuzJSUfWRQNo8OQ6xwqNCZNVrqs6bL1HB5mTezqwO4xiB7ngyGW6VbOWa1PK7fGTXqyXrrowIJz~czbsu7Hjf15A3CUIsHVtdkaP9t~NgwIBNvfLRwVS3Fhg~0E5gi9wAWmpTllMAEfh1haG5~L8kuUdw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Department heads told the council on April 7 that a storm event over Friday and Saturday caused flooding in several city locations and produced a large spike in wastewater and storm flows.

Tony (public works) reported that St. Johns Creek came out of its banks and filled the fire training area and that Westlink Drive was closed briefly; the city closed the recycle center that Saturday because water covered the access road. \"We closed off Westlink for a while and I think it was on or around 04:00 or so we were able to open the road back up,\" Tony said. Staff drove heavy equipment to protect assets and moved a wheel loader and other machines out of flood-prone locations.

Kevin (wastewater/stormwater) reported infiltration into the sewer system during the storm. \"We manned it from Friday afternoon all the way till Saturday afternoon, rotating shifts. We took in an additional 7,000,000 gallons of, fluid and liquid during that event on top of our normal flow,\" Kevin said, and added that normal flow at that time is about 2,000,000 gallons, so the total moved during the period was roughly 9,000,000 gallons.

Staff also reported logs and debris moving down the river and warned residents not to put boats in the river when flows are high because of rescue risk. Crews monitored manholes and pump operations; staff asked residents to report any flooding problems so crews can address issues.

No ordinance or contract decisions were made on the storm report; it was an informational department-head update.","Department heads reported that heavy rains caused St. Johns Creek to flood a fire training area, closed Westlink Drive briefly, and led to roughly 7 million gallons of additional infiltration during the rain event; city crews worked through the event and closed and reopened facilities as needed.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6026546,"Senior center to move from Elks to Knights of Columbus; city lists timeline and furniture moves",127,1713000,1840000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5736629-b22a7ba880132d3c9637af8a848fc9ac&start=1713&end=1840","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5736629-b22a7ba880132d3c9637af8a848fc9ac/thumbnail_1713000.jpg","/articles/6026546/Washington/Franklin-County/Missouri/Senior-center-to-move-from-Elks-to-Knights-of-Columbus-city-lists-timeline-and-furniture-moves","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6026546-6aeb35634057e9dab4e13c49641935b6/orig.mp4?Expires=1770964939&Signature=HUlxpHnvL1q6DWw9f2sBNoaz48xEeLTJcV9-KzzmQ7BhfBf8oFKF8Imbx4ZQ9EzqguE~bsi3hcEqvhex-RMxo1bjLVPuLNSKSMJMHBFSt2kv0h-fEHFmFvugnIbUBTY6ToeBfIWKUt-psWGBG735wmV4m~tzuHlyrT7-y4xLW7jE4X9NAd1-5TtBBPmhYb~s-HNAgraSPpmGOHcqD9m4dJS7LkzVksNodCSprYadVIK5SAFLQuo69tw2wudSihReIcGoiTvk6iB2cL95bGxqo6Cko~ur-5A~zfyHptF3BMyOkP6rgYTMT~l4JdIK3wYZuq5Min8did90b50LsN7fMQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","City staff told the council on April 7 that Aging Ahead plans to move the senior center from the Elks building to the Knights of Columbus hall in the week of May 5.

Wayne, a parks/departments presenter, said the Knights of Columbus vestibule has been made ADA accessible and that restroom renovations are underway. \"They're currently working on the restroom renovations,\" Wayne said, and staff reported the renovations should be complete by Monday, April 14 with exterior paving and striping to follow the week of April 28, weather permitting.

The city will move tables, chairs, a steamer and an ice machine that the city owns; staff noted the Knights of Columbus hall already has tables and chairs but Aging Ahead asked to use the city's equipment as well. The city also said it will consider offers from the Elks to purchase items the city will not retain once the move is complete.

No vote was taken; the update was provided for council information and planning.","City staff reported at the April 7 workshop that the senior center will relocate from the Elks to the Knights of Columbus in early May; the report covered accessibility work, items to be moved and a tentative schedule for restroom and paving work.","actionData","errors"]
