3 Page Change Order No. 5 Parks & Recreation Center - Roof Structure The Parks and Recreation building that is currently under construction has a multipurpose room that can be divided into two smaller rooms by closing an operable partition wall down the center of the room. Construction contractor Larrison Construction found that they could not construct the structural support for the partitions using the permit construction design documents. Revisions adding structural design details to the construction design documents were created. Larrison Construction submitted a quote for the additional material and work which staff finds reasonable. Change Order 5 has been prepared in the amount of $7, for the cost to complete the work. To allow Larrison Construction to maintain their desired schedule, staff requested, and received, authority from the mayor to move forward in authorizing the contractor to ahead of tonight's Council meeting. 14. Change Order No. 6 Parks & Recreation Center Parking Lot On October 23, 2017 Larrison Construction began work to repave the existing parking lot as part of the Parks and Recreation building construction project. It was discovered that approximately 135 lineal feet of existing concrete curb and gutter was too low to drain rainwater when the new asphalt surface is installed according to the permit design documents. Staff recommended to the mayor that the City authorize a change order to remove and replace all areas determined to be low. Change Order 6 in the amount of $7, is for the cost to remove and replace approximately 135 lineal feet of existing concrete curb and gutter. Since milling and replacement of the asphalt surface was underway, staff requested, and received, authority from the mayor to move forward in authorizing the contractor to proceed ahead of tonight's Council meeting. 15. YMCA Renovation Project Change Order No. 3 Epoxy Coating Fitness Flooring The YMCA Renovation project includes the construction of a new 4,481 square feet concrete 2nd floor fitness area. A special fitness flooring overlay is to be installed on the concrete floor. The manufacturer s requirement to provide a warranty of the special fitness flooring is that the concrete must be below 85% percent relative humidity in the concrete before adhering the fitness floor covering. Testing has shown it be above this threshold. It is recommended an epoxy coating over a plywood subfloor be installed to help compensate for the high moisture rates. This will allow for a warranty of the fitness flooring. A change order has been prepared for Council consideration accordingly.

4 Page Amendment to the Number of On-street Run/Walk Events Allowed Each Year (Resolution No ) In May of 2015, the Council took action, by resolution, that limited the number of on-street run/walk events that could be held in any given year in North Kansas City to four. In May of this year, the Council, acting on a recommendation from the Police Department, allowed a fifth event to occur in North Kansas City. All five organizers have expressed their desire to return to North Kansas City in The organizers of each of these events have done a good job of managing the event and working with the police department staff in preparations. Therefore, staff believes that increasing the number of these events that may be held in a year by one will not create a negative impact on the community. A resolution has been prepared for Council consideration that will increase the number of run/walk events from four to five in each calendar year. 17. Renewal of Employee Health Insurance Package {Bill No (Ordinance No. 9041)} The City has received its employee health insurance renewal for In its memo, staff outlines the terms of the renewal of its employee health insurance package, and recommends approval of the renewal under these terms. 18.

An agreement has been prepared for Council consideration accordingly. 19. Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE) Program {Bill No (Ordinance No. 9043)} In 2010, Missouri established the Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE) program which, through the auspices of Clean Energy Development Boards, provides financing assistance for energy efficient or renewable energy improvements. These improvements are then paid for via property assessments. While any City has the authority to establish such a board, it is impractical for most cities to do so on their own. In the alternative, such boards have been established at the state or regional level in order to finance such projects. In 2013, the City of North Kansas City passed Ordinance 8704 authorizing the City to join the Missouri Clean Energy District. Cities can join more than one Clean Energy District. Jan Schumacher of the Show Me PACE Clean Energy District presented an overview of the program to the City Council on October 17. The Council directed staff to prepare an ordinance
