<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Hi Tom:<br>
The issue about commenting on the City Manager's report, regarding
bicycles, was mine. On June 20, you had included this funding
analysis - <a
href="https://assets.lawrenceks.org/assets/agendas/cc/2017/06-20-17/cm_report_ped_bike_ada_funding.html">City
staff recommendations_bike-ped undesignated fund_20June17</a> -
in your report. Brandon, who had authored it, had done some good
work which I wanted to compliment, and I asked during public
comment if I could speak to it, or should I wait until you
presented the report. Your suggestion to the Mayor was that I
wait, which I did patiently. Then after your report, you reminded
the Mayor that I wished to comment. She didn't acknowledge me or
the question, and went on to the City Commission calendar. <br>
<br>
I asked you after the meeting if we could meet about the memo, and
you suggested I meet with Brandon, which I did for a very
productive meeting. I didn't pursue the issue of citizen's
ability to make comments on the CM report, but it was apparent to
me that there was a problem, and a solution must be found.<br>
<br>
I later did meet with Commissioner Larsen about it, and made the
suggestions that the CM report be at the beginning of the
meeting. That way, citizens could comment on it during public
comment, or request an item be pulled for Commission discussion
during the regular agenda.<br>
<br>
I would like to see this protocol incorporated into the City
Commission meeting. Commissioner Larsen may have brought this up,
but regardless, I am asking that the issue be placed on an
upcoming agenda.<br>
<br>
thanks for your consideration,<br>
Michael Almon<br>

style="font-family:"Tahoma",sans-serif">Eric,
thank you for your note last week. Transparency is
important to the City of Lawrence and important to me. I
have taken the approach of reporting on issues as they are
known to us. We welcome questions from the public. I want
to be responsive to your comments and questions. In order
to do so, I need some additional information from you and I
would like to share some additional background with you. We
do try and utilize the City Manager’s report to report on a
variety of subjects- some routine and some quite timely with
last minute information. The City of Lawrence has utilized
this approach instead of a compiled Monthly Report that some
communities have. However, I want to point out that with
two meetings and two reports per month, our reports are
quite comprehensive. In many cases, we provide a brief
verbal report but attach extensive memos or background
information about the item for the City Commission and the
public. I also want to point out that all of this
information is included in the agenda packet and is viewable
online.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

your bicycle priorities item, can you provide me with some

style="font-family:"Tahoma",sans-serif">Regarding
the Farmland issue, I first reported on this during the
City Manager’s Report section of the meeting back in
August 2017. There were subsequent reports made in the
same manner in September, October and in November. I
reported on KDHE’s recommendation and authorization to
discharge remediation water from the Farmland site (in
addition to the daily occurring discharge) on November 7<sup>th</sup>.
KDHE’s decision was made after the City submitted a plan
to haul millions of gallons of the nitrogenated water by
semi-truck in order to expand its land application
operation and free up sufficient storage capacity at the
site to accommodate the next years’ collection of
groundwater. You are correct in noting that there was not
anything attached on the November 7<sup>th</sup> Manager’s
Report, but the verbal report was thorough and provided in
the public meeting setting. This was certainly not an
attempt to be opaque, quite the opposite. Information on
the matter was quickly developing, which was the reason
for the verbal report. The verbal report was provided at
the meeting, was televised and formally incorporated into
the City’s minutes for the meeting. The direct link to
this item is here: </span><a

style="font-family:"Tahoma",sans-serif;color:black">The City
acquired the former Farmland property in 2010 to remediate
existing environmental contamination and transform the
property into a viable industrial park and a welcoming
‘gateway’ to the community. As part of the City’s
acquisition, the Kansas Department of Health and Environment
(KDHE) issued a Consent Order which establishes the
remediation plan for nitrogen-contaminated groundwater at
the property. At the time of acquisition, the City received
trust funds to fund the remediation program. The groundwater
remediation program involves collection and retention of
nitrogen-contaminated groundwater on-site and application of
the water on privately owned farm land.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in;text-align:justify"><span
style="font-family:"Tahoma",sans-serif;color:black"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in;text-align:justify"><span
style="font-family:"Tahoma",sans-serif;color:black">Several
recent events have spurred City staff to review the status
of the remediation program. Crop conversions at
participating farms has led to lower demand for nitrogen
with a corresponding reduction in the volume of water
applied to these farms. At the same time, the on-site
groundwater management system is collecting more
nitrogen-contaminated water due to improvements that were
completed pursuant to the remediation plan established by
the Consent Order. Examination of the program’s financial
status has revealed that the remediation trust funds are
generating less revenue from interest than was projected in
2010. Interest on the trust funds is a key revenue source
for the remediation program.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in;text-align:justify"><span
style="font-family:"Tahoma",sans-serif;color:black"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in;text-align:justify"><span
style="font-family:"Tahoma",sans-serif;color:black">City staff
is closely monitoring the situation to ensure regulatory
compliance. Additionally, staff believes it would be prudent
to engage an environmental consultant to revisit the
remediation program to determine the most fiscally
sustainable approach based on current conditions. Staff is
preparing a scope of work for a consultant-led assessment of
the site. The City has also proactively engaged the Kansas
Department of Health & Environment in assisting with the
matter. Additional updates will be provided in the future.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in;text-align:justify"><span
style="font-family:"Tahoma",sans-serif;color:black">The City
Commission was last updated on September 5, 2017 about the
ongoing effort to address challenges with the environmental
remediation program at the former Farmland Nitrogen Plant
property. Since that time, the staff has continued working
on alternative strategies to address the operational
challenges. As has been previously shared, the groundwater
collection system at the site has reached its storage
capacity. More water is being collected than can be stored
and land-applied through existing distribution and
irrigation infrastructure. Drawing down the water in storage
to adequate levels will require land application on
additional farms that are not served by the distribution
system. The water would need to be transported by truck to
these additional farms.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in;text-align:justify"><span
style="font-family:"Tahoma",sans-serif;color:black"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in;text-align:justify"><span
style="font-family:"Tahoma",sans-serif;color:black">Bids were
received earlier this month for truck hauling services and
the staff has developed a contingency plan to haul and apply
millions of gallons of water to additional farms if
necessary. In conversations with city staff and Kansas
Department of Health and Environment officials, the
potential for a hauling operation has been the cause of much
concern. Hauling the water would create a significant
financial burden on the Farmland Trust Fund in addition to
creating a significant operational and environmental impact.
Potentially, millions of gallons of water may need to be
hauled. Approximately 148 truckloads would be required to
haul 1 million gallons. The contractual cost would be
approximately $40,000 for every 1 million gallons hauled.
Administering the hauling operation and ensuring regulatory
compliance would require significant staff resources.
Naturally, a hauling operation should be, and is the last
resort. Staff will continue working to land apply the water
to as many farms served by the distribution system as
possible. The city has also requested additional guidance
from KDHE as alternative options for the short-term
management of the nitrogenated water are considered.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

style="font-family:"Tahoma",sans-serif">Regarding
the utility drop box item, I think that there has been
quite a bit of unfortunate confusion about this. Our
staff was reporting on our intention to act on a matter
that doesn’t typically require City Commission approval.
The reason why we reported on it was because we wanted to
be transparent with our intentions and by reporting it,
see if there was public concern. I think that some of the
confusion has come from the attachment with the item,
which was an internal staff memo from a staff member to
me, wherein they are making the recommendation to me about
discontinuing the utility drop boxes in other locations.
This was not meant as a City Commission action item. If
it was, staff would have placed it on the regular or
consent agenda. That being said, the City Commission did
direct staff to place the item on a regular meeting agenda
in the near future, which will be done so that there can
be additional discussion on it. I certainly did not
believe that staff just taking action on it and closing
the remote drop boxes would have been appropriate with no
public notice.

level1 lfo5"><span
style="font-family:"Tahoma",sans-serif">You
recommend moving the City Manager’s report to the
beginning of the agenda. I would note that the reason the
report is near the end of the agenda is that most times
citizens appear at these meetings in order to make general
comment or to provide comments or listen to a specific
item. Sometimes we hear real complaints about the length
of meetings and how long citizens have to wait in order to
be heard on a particular agenda item. General public
comment used to be at the end of the agenda a few years
ago, but was moved toward the front to help enable people
to make general comments if they do not wish to hear the
other agenda items. That way, they do not have to sit
through the entire meeting to be able to make a general
comment. However, this does add to the time that other
citizens may have to sit to await a specific item. We
have tried to balance this the best that we can. I would
have a concern with moving the City Manger’s report to the
front of the meeting as it relates to those citizens who
already have to sit through general public comments and
other agenda items before being able to participate in
their item of interest. Moving the report would require
them to wait longer. Part of the balance of this issue
has been what we are now doing with the minutes and
linking each section directly to the video portion of the
agenda. This makes it very easy for a citizen who may
want to hear the City Manager’s report to go directly to
that item on the agenda. Here is a link to the minutes
for the November 7, 2017 meeting that I cited earlier as
an example. You can see that each action area of the
agenda has the link to the exact spot on the video where
the item was discussed. </span><a

recommend that citizens should serve on a task force to
find a long-term option for disposal of remediation water
collected as part of the Farmland environmental
remediation program. The city is soliciting the services
of an expert consultant team to analyze the remediation
program and review the vast and technical data associated
with the site. Subject matter experts at KU are assisting
city staff in the consultant selection process and the
consultant’s ensuing work. Recommended changes to the
remediation plan developed as a result of the consultant
team’s work will be presented to city commissioners for
their consideration in a regular Commission meeting.
Residents and anyone else interested in the project will
have the opportunity to provide input about the results of
the study to the Commission so it can consider that
feedback when it deliberates the consultant’s
recommendations. Changes to the remediation plan will
require reviews and approvals from the Kansas Department
of Health and Environment. Recommendations that would
require changes to the consent order, remedial action plan
or NPDES (National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System)
permit would be subject to additional public processes
administered by KDHE. In other words, the City does not
have the authority to make changes to the remediation plan
without KDHE authorization.
