Recreation fees tabled

When they met Tuesday, Leavenworth city commissioners took the following action:

They approved a resolution declaring the necessity of appropriating private property by condemnation. The condemnation would be used for obtaining right-of-ways and easements for improvements to Limit Street between 15th and 20th streets. No property is being condemned at this point. Public Works Director Mike McDonald said this was the first step in the process. He said the city does not yet have four of about 23 easements needed for the project.

“We continue to work with the property owners involved,” he said.

They approved a bid from 911 Custom, Olathe, in the amount of $19,623 for the purchase and installation of equipment for police cars.

They approved an agreement between the city, Kansas Department of Health and Environment and DGS to allow for monitoring of ground water. The cost will be paid by DGS.

They approved a design and inspection contract with Affinis in an amount not to exceed $39,800. The contract is for work related to the city’s 2013 Pavement Management Program.

They approved an agreement with the Kansas Department of Transportation related to the planned replacement of a bridge at Second Avenue and Five-Mile Creek.

They approved the extension of a contract with a hotel developer for the sale of city-owned land at Fourth Street and Metropolitan Avenue to the developer. The contract was extended through Jan. 28.
