V. PUBLIC HEARINGS

PH23-25

Consider the Water and Light 2025 Renewable Energy Plan.

The public hearing was read by the City Clerk.

Utilities Director Erin Keys provided a staff report, and responded to Council questions

and comments.

Mayor Buffaloe opened the public hearing.

Carolyn Amparan, Chair of the Sierra Club Mid-Missouri Group, indicated she was

speaking on behalf of the Columbia 100% Renewable Energy Coalition, felt the proposed

ordinance provision of 40 percent was insufficient, pointed out Columbia utility customers

supported renewable energy as they had passed the renewable energy ordinance in 2004

and had indicated in a recent survey they would be willing to pay five percent more for

renewable energy, explained the Climate Action and Adaptation Plan (CAAP) called for

the reduction of communitywide greenhouse gas emissions by 35 percent by 2035, which

they were not close to achieving, pointed out obtaining energy from renewable energy

was essential to meeting the CAAP goal and if Columbia replaced the energy it received

from the Sikeston coal generating plant, which was set to close in 2029, with renewable

energy, they could achieve 65 percent of energy from renewable sources, expressed

disappointment in not issuing a new RFP for wind energy, believed it was important to

move forward with new power purchase agreements as they tended to take 3-4 years to

come to fruition, asked the Council to push for more aggressive action to move forward

with additional renewable energy for Columbia along with the setting of more aggressive

goals for 2035, and provided a handout of her comments.

Jack Meinzenbach, 806 Sunstone Drive, pointed out the Green Belt Express had begun

about eleven years ago and was canceled again by the State Legislature, explained the

grid was overloaded, out of date, and had lots of problems, believed they needed to do

things locally if they wanted to add renewable energy in Columbia because they could not

wait for the grid to be fixed, and provided a handout.

Rick Shanker, a Sixth Ward resident, asked for an explanation of the three-percent

number or rule they were facing.

Kevin Sievert, a resident of the Benton Stephens neighborhood, explained most of his

neighborhood was considered affordable, but many could not afford

a five percent

increase for energy as some could not afford to mow their own lawns, felt the climate

change conversation had been going on for 40 years with a minimal number of predictions

coming to fruition as there had not been single day over 100 degrees this year when there

had been in his younger years and the temperature within the Devil’s Icebox was 56.8

degrees, the same as it had been when he was a boy scout, and reiterated many could

not afford a five percent increase.

Jim Windsor, 200 Manor Drive, believed they needed to stop pretending that renewables

could provide power when it was needed as the wind did not blow all of the time and the

sun did not shine all of the time, stated renewables did not impact the carbon footprint in

Columbia, suggested they invest in energy efficiency measures and smart meters which

could encourage people to use power off-cycle to reduce loads and not issue any other

RFPs unless they were targeted solar projects similar to Truman Solar on the east side

of town, which did not provide any power during five months on the peak hour in the winter

as the system peaked before the sun came out, reiterated they could not rely on

renewable energy and should spend money on things that would provide reliable energy,

and pointed out the CAAP indicated the City also needed to harden its infrastructure,

which could include the building of a transmission line.

Kyle Owen Sullivan stated the University of Missouri System Board of Curators had voted

to allocate $120 million to an energy engineering and economic policy center which would

be located on the Francis Quadrangle, north of the current engineering complexes,

explained he was working on a specific project with Regional Economic Development Inc.

(REDI) and the Missouri Innovation Center (MIC) and thought other engineering solutions

would come forward from REDI and MIC, and suggested the Council have a conversation

on how municipal government could intersect with Mizzou’s agenda as real solutions

were in the pipeline.

Eugene Elkin, 3406 Range Line Street, wondered if something could be done on a

serious basis with recycling, recalled the University burning walnut and other nut shells

for energy on campus in the past, asked if the City’s energy plant was running, and

wondered why Columbia could not have water turbines as the nearby river was always

moving.

There being no further comment, Mayor Buffaloe closed the public hearing.

The Council asked questions and made comments.

Mayor Buffaloe made a motion to accept the 2025 Renewable Energy Plan. The

motion was seconded by Council Member Peters, and approved unanimously by

roll call vote with Council Member Sample, Council Member Foster, Council

Member Waterman, Council Member Peters, Mayor Buffaloe, and Council

Member Carroll voting yes.

PH24-25

B177-25

Proposed construction of the Cosmo-Bethel Park tennis court resurfacing

project.

Discussion shown with B177-25.

Authorizing construction of the Cosmo-Bethel Park tennis court resurfacing

project; calling for bids through the Purchasing Division; authorizing an

agreement with Columbia School District No. 93.

The public hearing was read by the City Clerk, and the bill was given second reading by

the City Clerk.

Parks and Recreation Director Gabe Huffington provided a staff report, and responded to

Council questions and comments.

Mayor Buffaloe opened the public hearing.

Debbie Robison, a Fourth Ward resident, explained there was a vibrant and enthusiastic

tennis community in Columbia, noted it had been a difficult year because the courts were

unplayable except for the two courts at Philips Park and the Hickman High School

courts, which were not available when school was in session or when the teams were

utilizing it, felt it was a dismal situation to allow the courts to get into such disrepair,

understood that issue would be addressed with a regular maintenance schedule going

forward, and urged the Council to approve this project and to ask staff to look at alternate

ways of repairing the courts so they might endure better.

There being no further comment, Mayor Buffaloe closed the public hearing.

The Council asked questions and made comments.

B177-25 was given third reading by the City Clerk with the vote recorded as

follows: VOTING YES: SAMPLE, FOSTER, WATERMAN, PETERS, BUFFALOE,

CARROLL. VOTING NO: NO ONE. Bill declared enacted, reading as follows:

VI. OLD BUSINESS

B169-25

Amending Chapter 17 of the City Code as it relates to Parks and

Recreation fees.

The bill was given second reading by the City Clerk.

Parks and Recreation Director Gabe Huffington provided a staff report, and he and

Recreation Services Manager Cavelle Cole-Neal responded to Council questions and

comments.

Jim Windsor, 200 Manor Drive, stated the guys he played cards with always complained

about people reserving tee times and then not showing up, and suggested the City

consider charging a small fee to those who did not show up as encouragement.

The Council asked questions and made comments.

B169-25 was given third reading by the City Clerk with the vote recorded as

follows: VOTING YES: SAMPLE, FOSTER, WATERMAN, PETERS, BUFFALOE,

CARROLL. VOTING NO: NO ONE. Bill declared enacted, reading as follows:

B170-25

Amending Chapter 27 of the City Code as it relates to water services and

rates.

The bill was given second reading by the City Clerk.

Utilities Director Erin Keys provided a staff report, and responded to Council questions

and comments.

David Switzer, 912 Hulen Drive, indicated he was speaking on behalf of himself although

he endorsed the recommendation of the Water and Light Advisory Board (WLAB),

explained this plan would accomplish sound fiscal stewardship of the utility with the

ability of the utility to pay for operations, maintenance, and capital improvements, cost of

service equity whereby the rates were based on how much a customer cost the system

to serve, and affordability which involved the ability of low income users to pay for water

because it would raise the necessary revenue to cover the growing cost of the system,

move the utility closer to the true cost of service equity by moving to a year-round system

and more accurately allocating the prices of water to the actual cost produced by the

customer, and improve water affordability according to the most widely accepted

measures of water affordability, reiterated this plan would promote the fiscal health of the

utility, more accurately distribute the cost of serving customers through pricing, and

enhance water affordability, encouraged the Council to pass this ordinance, and pointed

out the work would not stop here as the cost of service and WLAB recommendations

involved a multi-year plan to ensure the utility was in a strong financial condition for years

to come.

Rhonda Carlson stated she was speaking on behalf of Spencer’s Crest, which was an

affordable and majority owner-occupied condominium whereby their 216 owners were

individually metered as was the sprinkler system and pool, explained that when the

current tier system became effective, the cost of the sprinkler system and pool had gone

from $9,300 to $14,100, which had been a 51 percent increase, and it was now up to

$17,500, noted they had incorporated water saving measures and had met with the

University to discuss drought resistant grass, and asked the Council to consider

situations such as theirs, i.e., condominiums, apartment complexes, etc. that were not

commercial uses.

Julie Ryan, COMO Safe Water Coalition, commented that on August 7, 2018, the

citizens overwhelmingly voted in favor of a $48 million water bond meant to provide

upgrades, rehabilitation, and new infrastructure to the aging assets of the utility and, at

that time, they were told to expect an 11 percent increase over four years to account for

the bonds, noted the COMO Safe Water Coalition had advocated for incremental rate

increases since its inception in 2016, believed a bait and switch had occurred after the

bond was passed as the City had moved to a tiered system instead of continuing with the

11 percent increase and had approved hodgepodge of tier and base fee increases, which

she did not consider as a thorough or understandable approach, expressed concern with

not having a comprehensive irrigation plan, continuing to fund fluoridation without public

input, and not having completed any 2018 water bond project, and stated they could not

continue to ask rate payers to fund the inability of the utility to complete projects and

take care of critical infrastructure, and suggested these issues be addressed as there

was no where else citizens could go to obtain safe water.

Bill Moyes, 4209 Fritz Court, stated that almost ten years ago, a $42.8 million water

bond issue had been passed by the voters, wondered how much of that work had been

completed, believed there was an accountability issue if the work had not been

completed, which fell on the City Manager and this and previous City Councils, and noted

they were losing the trust of citizens by continuing to raise rates.

John Conway, 4902 Thornbrook Ridge, indicated he was representing himself,

Mid-Missouri Peaceworks, and Mid-Missouri Sierra Club, suggested the base charge for

water not be raised as it was unfair to low usage water customers, the City not move the

fire protection service fee to be included in the base charge as he felt that fee would be

lost forever and would need to be re-evaluated as part of the Stantec cost of service

study, Stantec amend the study to advise the City of how the elasticity of price and

demand could impact the financial assumptions made within the study, particularly in

terms of the 48 percent increase in tier 3, Stantec work with Black and Veatch to

determine how to break down the existing water system components in the flow basis to

determine the real cost of service to provide fire protection in the City with an ISO rating of

two, removing the $2 from the base charge that was added for debt service in 2023 and

reflecting it in the usage tiers in the new cost of service study, reviewing the handling of

the value of the year-end inventory in the target cash flow analysis to see if it complied

with PR256-13, and correcting the omission of water storage not being carried forward in

the functional allocations or system functions in the system units analysis as he believed

the study was otherwise invalid, and provided a handout in support of his points.

Eugene Elkin, 3406 Range Line Street, felt it was unsafe to have fluoride in the water and

wondered what other chemicals within the water were causing cancer.

Jim Windsor, 200 Manor Drive, explained he did not oppose the structure proposed, had

concerns with transparency as the WLAB approved recommendations to the Council

without allowing public comment as public comment was only allowed at the end of the

meeting, pointed out a master plan with priorities and costs going forward was needed,

and suggested the Council be cognizant of revenue projections as another rainy year like

this year or people no longer watering their lawns due to increased costs would not

provide for anticipated revenues.

The Council asked questions and made comments, and the Mayor noted this item would

be continued to the following meeting.

of community events, especially when the event might bring hundreds of people to the

community, for department heads to view in order to lessen impacts of public projects on

those events, the renewable energy plan along with potential ordinance changes

forthcoming in the future whereby they would have to determine whether to be aggressive

or measured in terms of renewable energy, a request for the final pedestrian safety report

to be provided to the Council on October 20 or November 3 so they could discuss a

comprehensive approach to pedestrian safety along with how that tied into

homelessness, complimenting the City for resurfacing the downtown streets even though

it had been a painful process this past week, thanking City staff for the new yellow paint
