This Agreement does not prevent MoDOT or the FHWA from seeking authorization if deemed necessary, even if the measure is limited to this Agreement. Pursuant to 23 CFR 710.403(d) and (f), the State DOT requires the FHWA to verify and approve all assignments/leases/licenses at less than fair value where the original real estate units were acquired using Title 23 funds. Although MoDOT does not always obtain the fair value in cash or a measured amount in cash for the assignment/lease/license, they take into account the balance of the compensation against several factors, including the costs of maintenance, liability, investigation provided by the buyer, part of a negotiated transaction on a STIP project or litigation, etc. (see Appendix A and Appendix B). On Saturday, April 21 from 8.m to 16.m The city is hosting a spring cleanup on the Damon Pursell field at 6105 NW River Park Drive. Collected items include small limbs, leaves and grass (no plastic bags), used batteries, metal waste, water heaters, auto parts, metal products, air conditioning systems without compressor, washer and dryer without engine, tires, furniture and household waste. Un collected items include paints, air conditioning compressors, washer/dryer motors, and household hazardous waste (HHW), but residents have the option to dispose of HHW items on the Mid-America Regional Council`s (MARC) HHW program. Proof of domicile is required. Scheduled assessments reduce the burden of processing documentation and proof of compliance with certification requirements. This programmatic agreement will allow MoDOT to classify applicable MoDOT and local projects as meeting certification requirements, without submitting any project to FHWA approval. MoDOT will continue to submit Projects of Division Interest (PODI) certifications to the FHWA for verification and approval. This programmatic agreement is in line with national trends that allow DOT to assume greater responsibility for meeting their priority rules at the federal level and moving from the FHWA to a risk-based air management and monitoring role.
Earlier this year, Mike Talamantes, a volleyball coach at Park University, approached the city to enter into a contract to maintain and use the three volleyball courts at English Landing Park. As part of the agreement, the university will update the courts in exchange for the use of the courts for inter-collegiate practice and competition. The courts will be upgraded to beach volleyball certified standards, including replacing and increasing the depth of sand, new rods and net systems, as well as installing volleyball lines. The NEMO Solid Waste Management District, Region C, is unstaffed and is under contract with the NEMO Regional Planning Commission to perform administrative tasks assigned by the MO Department of Natural Resources. NEMO RPC employees are dedicated to developing and implementing a waste management plan for the six-county area and control the regulatory and administrative documents necessary to comply with state legislation. Mayor Nan Johnston said, “We are pleased to be able to offer recycling services in our parks. Visitors have the opportunity to recycle in the park, just like at home. Recycling helps reduce the amount of waste gone to landfill, prevent pollution and preserve natural resources. . . .
