[0:37] >> adopted a good good idea. So awesome.

[0:43] >> All I did was order paper. No,

[0:45] [laughter]

[0:49] » you guys are gonna

[1:06] put it in.

[1:08] >> Well, they didn't prepare a book for you

[1:11] >> because because of that. It's just a

[1:13] first hearing.

[1:16] what's

[1:21] » currently in place is

[1:25] >> passage.

[1:29] has a clause in there like most of the

[1:33] >> but your price increase is on January

[1:35] 4th.

[1:36] >> Okay, sounds good.

[1:38] >> Yeah, this is because there's another

[1:39] one that says price.

[1:42] Yeah,

[1:44] >> I appreciate that.

[1:47] » Uh, good evening. Thank you for coming

[1:49] tonight. I'm not going to check us in

[1:52] yet or start the meeting. I just want to

[1:53] tell you something that has changed due

[1:55] to something that we voted on, which is

[1:58] the sign-in sheets. If you notice the

[2:00] beautiful colors over there, we have a

[4:24] >> Thank you.

[4:27] >> Item 6.1, presentation of the city of

[4:30] Warsburg budget cover photo contest.

[4:35] » Yay.

[4:36] >> Good evening, mayor, members of the city

[4:38] council. So, it's my honor to you for

[4:40] you tonight to present to you the winner

[4:42] of our fiscal year 27 budget cover

[4:44] contest. So, as you all know, every year

[4:46] to encourage community involvement in

[4:47] our budget process, we host a contest

[4:49] for people to feature images on the

[4:50] cover of our budget book. Um so

[4:52] generously the Warrenburg Arts

[4:54] Commission helped administer the contest

[4:55] this year and the theme was what's your

[4:56] Warrenburg. Um so we had nine photo

[4:58] submissions from four participants and

[5:00] they submitted um pictures of local

[5:02] buildings, personal landscapes and just

[5:04] other things that showcase the unique

[5:05] character of our community and people's

[5:07] experiences within our community. So the

[5:09] winning photo was Fishing at Lions Lake

[5:10] by Towanda Moore. And we have a copy of

[5:12] the budget cover um in your packet.

[5:13] Sorry the photo got a little messed up

[5:15] at first. Um another finalist is the

[5:17] long-awaited Lion's Lake by Penny

[5:18] Easterwood. So obviously Lines Lake was

[5:20] a popular subject this year. Everyone's

[5:21] very excited about the improvements and

[5:23] old drum solo by to more. So again,

[5:26] thank you for everyone that participated

[5:28] and thank you to the arts commission for

[5:29] helping with this. I unfortunately I

[5:30] don't think anyone's here tonight, but

[5:32] my gratitude goes to them and thank you.

[5:35] >> Thanks, Jessica.

[5:39] Item seven, public hearing 7.1, a public

[5:43] hearing on fixing the annual rate of

[5:45] levy for taxes for general revenue fund,

[5:48] park fund, and debt service fund for the

[5:50] year 2026.

[5:53] Presented by

[5:55] >> Jessica. Okay, if you ask any tricky

[5:58] questions. All right.

[5:59] >> So again, good evening, mayor, members

[6:00] of the city council. So tonight you have

[6:02] three ordinances before you that would

[6:04] set property tax levies for our general

[6:06] fund, our parks fund, and the debt

[6:07] service fund. So in late summer around

[6:10] August of every year, we get our

[6:11] pro-forma statements from the state

[6:13] auditor. So what these are is they

[6:14] include information about our assessed

[6:16] valuation, which is the value of the

[6:18] property that's within our jurisdiction.

[6:20] And it also includes calculations that

[6:22] outline our maximum allowable levies

[6:24] that we can set. So via Hancock

[6:26] amendment, we all are kind of aware of

[6:27] how that works. It caps how much revenue

[6:29] growth we're allowed to get in any given

[6:31] year. So based off this information, we

[6:33] calculate what our levies are going to

[6:34] be. Um we do a public notice, have a

[6:37] public hearing. You all can get to

[6:38] consider ordinances. Um so that's why

[6:40] we're all here tonight talking about

[6:41] property taxes um because we have to

[6:43] certify that information to the county

[6:44] clerk on September 1. So Caroline

[6:47] included a lot of wonderful information

[6:49] kind of breaking down our different

[6:50] categories of property and the growth

[6:52] we've seen um across the last few years.

[6:54] Um but in summary, our levies are going

[6:56] to remain flat. So, our levy in 2025 was

[6:59] 1.122

[7:01] 1.1229. And that's what it's also going

[7:03] to be for 2026. Um, because our base

[7:06] growth of property value increase was

[7:08] 1072%. So, basically flat. If you factor

[7:11] in new construction, we have a total

[7:13] growth of about 1.5%. Which is why we

[7:15] didn't have to roll back um our levy

[7:17] because that base stayed um relatively

[7:18] flat. So with that, that gives us a levy

[7:21] for the general fund of 3453, a levy for

[7:25] the parks fund of.1876,

[7:27] and a debt service levy of 0.59. Um I

[7:31] quickly kind of want to touch on the

[7:32] debt service levy a little bit because

[7:34] it's a little bit different. It's not

[7:35] subject to Hancock in the same way that

[7:37] um the general and parks levy is. Um so

[7:39] we voluntarily roll that back each year.

[7:41] Um, under Hancock, we're allowed to levy

[7:43] for the current year debt obligations as

[7:45] well as one-year reserve, but since we

[7:47] made a promise when we issued our go

[7:48] bonds for a no tax increase, we roll

[7:50] that back every year. It also doesn't

[7:52] apply to personal property, um, which

[7:53] general and parks do, it's only applied

[7:55] to real estate. So, your personal

[7:56] property levy will be a little bit lower

[7:58] than that 1.1229, which is your real

[8:00] estate levy. So given that our levies

[8:02] are remaining flat, um we can expect

[8:04] about $15,000 of additional revenue in

[8:07] the general fund, about $8,000 in the

[8:09] parks fund, and again about 15,000 in

[8:12] our debt service fund. So we of course

[8:13] recommend holding a public hearing um

[8:15] for any folks that want to talk on this

[8:16] tonight and approving the ordinances as

[8:18] submitted. We can get those certified.

[8:21] >> Answer any questions.

[8:21] >> Could you check the yellow sheet, I

[8:23] guess? Right.

[8:25] >> A question I did have real quick. Um,

[8:27] and just to make sure I'm on the same

[8:29] page. So, we are not increasing the

[8:32] rate, but the valuations are going up.

[8:34] That's how we would bring in more money.

[8:36] Is that correct?

[8:37] >> Yeah. The new construction allotment

[8:38] allows us to bring it more because it's

[8:40] factored out first before then we set

[8:41] the lift. So,

[8:43] >> sounds great. Thank you.

[8:44] >> I had some questions too, but does

[8:47] anyone else have questions?

[8:48] >> Okay.

[8:49] >> So, I'm a person who loves letters and

[8:52] not numbers so much. So, so I always say

[8:55] make me write a 10-page paper. Don't

[8:56] make me uh do a financial an analysis.

[8:59] So, I have questions that are probably

[9:01] going to seem really super simple to

[9:03] you, [laughter] but I'm going to try to

[9:05] understand. So, um on in the council

[9:08] letter that Carol wrote on the second

[9:12] page at the top under the issue

[9:16] that assessed valuation,

[9:20] >> can you help me understand? So, at the

[9:22] very right is the growth column.

[9:26] How does 1.1296

[9:31] plus 2.5227

[9:33] equal 1.4335?

[9:36] What am I not getting there? Are those

[9:39] percentages actually being added

[9:40] together? Because that

[9:43] >> number doesn't make sense.

[9:44] >> The 1.129 is 1% of 231 million where the

[9:50] 2 and a half% is 2 and a half% of 65

[9:53] million. Mhm.

[9:54] >> So with those big variations in the base

[9:58] number that the percentage applies to,

[10:01] when you put those two together, then

[10:03] you end up at a total of 296 million and

[10:08] it gets out to the 1.4. So it's like

[10:13] >> 10% of a million plus 2% of a 100,000.

[10:18] >> Okay.

[10:18] >> Put it all together and you get a net.

[10:21] >> I gotcha. So the growth percentages are

[10:23] not being added.

[10:24] >> No,

[10:24] >> those are simply I should be something

[10:26] reading across the line. Okay, gotcha.

[10:28] Thank you. That that helps. I appreciate

[10:30] >> if I may. Uh on that. So you're totaling

[10:33] the row, not the column.

[10:36] >> Yeah, if you go across the row real

[10:39] estate, you have a number 24 25 26 and

[10:43] that growth percentage is growth from 25

[10:46] to 26. So you see the percentage there

[10:49] for real estate for personal property.

[10:52] Then when you put the total together

[10:54] that's that 1.43. So it's the percentage

[10:57] growth of total real estate and personal

[11:00] from 25 to 26. But you wouldn't those

[11:04] that far right column would not total up

[11:07] in that mathematical approach.

[11:09] >> Perfect. Thank you.

[11:11] >> Gotcha. Okay.

[11:17] I go, "Okay, that answered my next

[11:19] question." Okay.

[11:20] >> All right.

[11:21] >> I thought surely someone was gonna ask

[11:23] about newly separated territory. I

[11:25] didn't know what that mean.

[11:26] >> Yeah. Yeah. What is able to discern that

[11:30] when we replant properties and we break

[11:32] them apart that it isolates those so

[11:36] it's not necessarily separated from our

[11:39] city limits, but it's properties and

[11:42] square.

[11:43] >> Okay. There we had a few of those. I

[11:45] remember that. Yeah. Okay.

[11:47] thank you. Next question. The next

[11:50] table, sources of assessed value

[11:54] under new construction.

[11:57] I've been trying to make sure I

[11:58] understand the difference between real

[11:59] estate, which is right, the land or

[12:01] things attached to the land, personal

[12:03] property, things that are not attached.

[12:04] So, how do you have new construction

[12:06] that's personal property?

[12:07] >> I believe it's property that comes into

[12:09] the city. So, someone buys a new car or

[12:11] a new piece of equipment and then they

[12:12] claim it. Um, it's just new personal

[12:14] property that enters our jurisdiction.

[12:16] >> So, the word construction is

[12:17] >> Yeah, it's a bit funny the way they

[12:18] phrase it, but it's just property that

[12:20] didn't exist last year that now exists

[12:22] this year.

[12:22] >> Okay. All right. Got it. Um,

[12:28] and trying to get my head around this.

[12:29] The the bottom paragraph that goes into

[12:32] the next page talks about the Hancock

[12:35] amendment says that we can

[12:38] we it allows for the lesser of one of

[12:40] these three things, right? And you say

[12:42] and this year the actual assessment

[12:45] growth was the lesser of those three

[12:48] opportunities.

[12:50] And so

[12:53] where what is that actual assessment

[12:56] growth?

[12:56] >> So our actual assessment growth is going

[12:58] to be that 1072%.

[13:00] We're allowed to gather the growth on

[13:02] the property that already existed. They

[13:04] take out new construction when they

[13:05] first calculate that and then we add

[13:06] that back on at the end after our mil

[13:08] levy has been rolled back if it gets

[13:09] rolled back. Gotcha. That is what I

[13:12] guessed. I guessed right. Do I get a

[13:13] point for that? Okay. 1% is so small

[13:17] that we don't have an opportunity to

[13:19] adjust the mill rate.

[13:20] >> Yeah. Way to be captured.

[13:22] >> Okay. Thank you. And could you remind

[13:25] me? I know you mentioned it in in your

[13:27] um preface. When was that voluntary

[13:29] reduction of the debt service? When was

[13:31] that pledge made?

[13:33] >> When I believe when we issued the geo

[13:34] bonds for Meguire. Um the way that it

[13:36] was um marketed was it was a no tax

[13:38] increase geo bond issue.

[13:40] >> Gotcha. Gio being

[13:43] >> general obligation.

[13:44] >> Sorry.

[13:45] >> No, it's all right.

[13:47] >> G.

[13:50] >> Yeah. Yeah. Thank you. Gio. Yeah.

[13:54] [clears throat]

[13:55] >> Okay. Um

[13:58] right.

[13:59] And can I add another question? Did I

[14:02] print it out? Let me see.

[14:07] public. There was something about the

[14:09] Oh, okay.

[14:12] The public notice.

[14:19] Okay. Which was also frankly very

[14:22] confusing to me, but I I think I I

[14:24] pretty much figured it out. Um I found

[14:27] what the the property rate is, which is

[14:29] like you said, it doesn't change 1.1229.

[14:32] Um

[14:34] the last

[14:36] I think these are rows, right? These are

[14:38] rows and not columns. I should be

[14:40] looking at

[14:42] or

[14:44] maybe that's a question for that. Are

[14:45] these

[14:47] again these are rows, right? I'm looking

[14:49] at rows that each have three columns.

[14:52] >> Yes.

[14:53] >> Right. Okay. So that last row,

[14:57] can you explain what that is? increase

[15:00] tax from dollar value reassessment and

[15:02] the percentage from reassessment.

[15:04] >> I believe that is state auditor speak

[15:05] and I will call upon Caroline if she has

[15:07] a context what that is.

[15:09] >> Thank you.

[15:20] » So the I mean I'm guessing that so the

[15:23] there's an estimated increase of value

[15:27] right in the line right above. Yes.

[15:29] >> And so we're saying what we're

[15:32] estimating the increased tax is going to

[15:34] be.

[15:35] >> Can I get back to you on this? You have

[15:37] to have the

[15:39] number.

[15:40] >> Absolutely. I don't have just so we're

[15:42] clear. I don't have a I'm not

[15:43] questioning your calculations or

[15:45] anything. I'm just trying to get my head

[15:46] around it.

[15:48] >> Um I'll send you an email tomorrow.

[15:50] >> Okay. Perfect. Perfect. That's great.

[15:52] Thank you both. I I appreciate your

[15:54] patience with my um questions for

[15:57] someone who is not a math girl.

[15:59] >> [clears throat]

[16:01] >> That's all I have.

[16:05] » Okay. Thank you. There were no no one

[16:08] signed up for the public hearing. We

[16:10] look at the sheet.

[16:12] >> That's Caroline. No one signed up for

[16:14] the public hearing.

[16:16] >> So with that, we'll we'll close the

[16:18] public hearing.

[16:24] » Item eight, public comment. Public

[16:27] comment on the fiscal year 2026 2027

[16:30] annual budget

[16:32] presented by Jessica

[16:36] on the budget

[16:38] >> yeah I can so

[16:41] uh if you would like I can walk you

[16:43] through the budget

[16:45] >> he signed up

[16:47] >> so

[16:50] >> is it

[16:53] » just been through funing process.

[16:59] Excuse me.

[17:01] >> The closed public comment on the tax

[17:03] levy.

[17:04] >> We're on to the the public comment on

[17:07] the fiscal year.

[17:08] >> Yes.

[17:08] >> Okay. Sorry. Want to make sure I'm not

[17:11] giving you the wrong information. So, um

[17:14] this is the opportunity for the public

[17:15] to comment on the fiscal year 2027

[17:18] budget. Um we've just gone through the

[17:20] tax loadings um which we learned keep

[17:24] things pretty flat. So the 2027 budget,

[17:27] the capital improvement plan and the 25

[17:30] years financial have all been something

[17:33] that we've been working on for quite

[17:34] some time. The budget reflects these tax

[17:37] levies that we just discussed,

[17:40] incorporates them in as our for our

[17:42] revenue estimates on on those applicable

[17:45] items, and then it carries forward the

[17:47] conversation that we had in strategic

[17:49] planning. Um, as we discussed, the the

[17:53] overall approach that I tried to convey

[17:55] in my budget message was this is a

[17:58] multi-year conversation that we've been

[18:00] having. We spent the last year looking

[18:02] at our fund balances, looking at our our

[18:04] financial health and strategizing about

[18:08] how to be prepared this year to try to

[18:10] address the pay plan. So last year we

[18:13] our opportunities lie with capital

[18:15] improvement sales tax and the ability to

[18:18] really plan that use that fund balance.

[18:21] Then we also took this the intermediate

[18:23] year to try to move as much as possible

[18:26] particularly in the general fund to

[18:28] capital improvement sales tax funding

[18:30] capital improvement rather than general

[18:32] fund for the purpose then of bringing up

[18:34] funds in the general fund to see what we

[18:37] could do about the payment. So you've

[18:39] heard in strategic planning previously

[18:42] uh conducted the salary survey looked at

[18:44] about 35 communities 38 job titles use

[18:48] those as the benchmarking we then

[18:50] compared to our pay plan presented to

[18:53] you what a modified pay plan would look

[18:55] like and how much it would cost to give

[18:58] ourselves the midpoint of the data that

[19:00] we were seeing and that with a $1.2 $2

[19:02] million price tag that this budget

[19:06] reflects incorporating that pay plan. It

[19:08] also reflects the department heads

[19:11] towing the line in every other possible

[19:13] way to

[19:16] expend as flat as possible. There's

[19:18] certain things that are out of our

[19:20] control whether that's insurance uh

[19:22] premium increases

[19:25] inflationary increases that we don't

[19:27] control. We tried to limit any new

[19:29] initiatives, keep all of our

[19:30] discretionary spending as flat as

[19:32] possible to fund the pay plan. So, a

[19:35] couple things that I want to point out

[19:37] to you is number one, in my my council

[19:41] letter, I referred to my management

[19:44] letter multiple times, which is a docu a

[19:47] portion of the budget, but the budget

[19:50] documents that we gave you were just the

[19:52] um the reports, not the entirety of the

[19:54] documents. So, that was my mistake. not

[19:56] cutting and pasting my message entirely

[19:59] into the council. So I provided you a

[20:01] copy of the my budget message at your at

[20:05] your seat. Essentially what I just

[20:07] described, the one other thing that I

[20:09] would call your attention to is my

[20:12] conclusion is basically this approach,

[20:15] the home improvement sales tax strategy,

[20:18] the pay plan, um our 25-y year

[20:21] comprehensive financial model, I feel

[20:24] like now have a stabilized plan going

[20:27] forward, communicated, articulated,

[20:31] ready to implement it. Um the difficulty

[20:34] from this point forward is going to be

[20:37] keeping up with inflation. Now that

[20:39] we've kind of standardized everything,

[20:41] we've made our commitments, we we looked

[20:43] at our work premium, um we're going to

[20:46] struggle like any other community does

[20:48] to see if revenue growth keeps up with

[20:51] inflationary growth as it relates to

[20:54] petroleum and asphalt and insurance and

[20:57] cost of living and merits. But I I do

[21:01] feel very proud of where we are. We've

[21:04] gotten ourselves organized. We've gotten

[21:06] ourselves positioned. We're using our

[21:09] finances and our reserves as

[21:11] strategically as we can for the for

[21:13] agreed upon purposes. So, uh the budget

[21:16] that you have reflects all that

[21:18] strategic planning conversation you've

[21:20] had previously. The other thing that was

[21:22] pointed out to me is in addition to the budget picture format of the

[21:27] apparently the table and the summary of

[21:30] notable changes you just got skip it

[21:34] showed up blank on the line. And so the

[21:37] other item that's at your desk is the

[21:40] entire document with summary of notable

[21:42] changes from the July 14th budget

[21:44] discussion and it itemizes them. I'll

[21:47] walk you through them kind of in

[21:48] categories. be happy to answer any

[21:50] questions. But quite a few of these, the

[21:52] property tax, use tax, franchise for

[21:56] telephone, cable, lodging are

[21:58] adjustments either for we now know

[22:01] property tax assessment rate so we can

[22:03] dial that number in tighter or we have

[22:06] amongst more of data in terms of current

[22:08] year-to- date numbers. So these are all

[22:10] have all been adjusted to just you try

[22:13] to be more accurate in terms of budget

[22:15] projections for fiscal year 27. Quite a

[22:18] few of those are decreases. Property

[22:20] tax, use tax, franchise, telephone,

[22:24] cable television is adjusted positively,

[22:27] taxes on lodging, um contractual

[22:30] services, that is our agreement which is

[22:33] on your agenda later this evening with

[22:35] the school district for us providing

[22:38] school resource officers then providing

[22:41] this council session. This reflects the

[22:44] final pay plan numbers and it makes an

[22:46] adjustment to keep up with that. Uh

[22:49] community agreements,

[22:51] we adjusted the WCDB uh assumptions.

[22:55] Labor uh we move the demolition

[22:58] anticipated demolition of 303 main

[23:00] street into the budget and then we'll

[23:03] see how that process plays out in the

[23:05] end. using memberships, cleaning

[23:07] agreements is moving things around in

[23:09] light of our recent conversations

[23:11] categorizing them. Uh motor vehicle sale

[23:14] sales um an adjustment based on our most

[23:18] recent year-to- date numbers and our

[23:20] projections. Interest on investments is

[23:22] an adjustment based on current

[23:24] projections. Clothing uh we split out

[23:27] fire um capital improvement expenses to

[23:29] be more specific. So that's a a more

[23:32] detailed organization of clothing, uh,

[23:35] tools and equipment, um, building

[23:38] maintenance and repair, equipment

[23:39] maintenance, repair, software

[23:41] maintenance and repairs. Um, services

[23:45] for the fire department as well,

[23:47] equipment for fire department, all kind

[23:50] of more detailization of those. Um,

[23:53] equipment not categorized in the CIP

[23:56] updating that. Um based on my final

[24:00] adjustments to the comprehensive

[24:01] financial model um rolled that into the

[24:04] budget debt service um that's also

[24:07] updated based on the uh comprehensive

[24:10] financial model and there was transfers

[24:14] from the fund balance um that was

[24:17] adjusted to cover the projected cost.

[24:19] The CIP includes an intentional spend

[24:21] down of that CIP fund amount. So we know

[24:25] that we're working towards that in in

[24:28] that fund balance. Property taxes, uh,

[24:31] we received the estimates from the

[24:33] county, so that's built in. Railroad

[24:35] tax, we received the estimates from the

[24:36] county, so that's built in. Capital

[24:39] noncategorized. Um, we entered the most

[24:43] current transportation development

[24:45] district numbers there and contractual

[24:47] noncategorized

[24:49] of some new property to be accounted

[24:52] for.

[24:55] Um, That was an adjustment there. When

[24:58] all is said and done, budget is

[25:00] balanced. The initiatives that we talked

[25:02] about are incorporated. I think Jessica

[25:05] said she had to make a $5,000 transfer

[25:08] from reserve to finally budgeted and get

[25:11] the budget to balance. But right, if

[25:14] everything holds, which I'm confident

[25:16] things will move around in years time,

[25:19] but as proposed, we're spending 5,000 of

[25:22] reserves to uh balance the budget.

[25:26] Um that be happy to try to answer any

[25:29] questions that you do have. Um

[25:32] it's it's been a culmination of a lot of

[25:35] conversation, a lot of work and I can't

[25:38] thank Jessica and Caroline for their knowledge and the way they can

[25:42] turn things around and incredible

[25:44] patience with me as I come up with last

[25:46] minute requests and work.

[25:50] But be happy to try to answer any

[25:51] questions you have. I do want to comment

[25:53] that I I like having the

[25:57] um unfunded needs listed.

[26:01] >> I think that's good for us to see that

[26:04] we have things that we fully aware that

[26:07] we need these things,

[26:08] >> but they're not funded, but we're

[26:10] showing them and and next year when we

[26:13] start budgeting again, we can look at

[26:14] that list and see if any of those can be

[26:16] included.

[26:17] >> Yeah, I think it helps us plan. I think

[26:19] it also helps give us perspective of

[26:22] with the budget we have with the fund

[26:23] balance we have before and we start

[26:27] talking about new initiatives. Here's

[26:29] what we're still trying to solve.

[26:31] >> Right.

[26:32] >> So will we have a chance to speak on all

[26:34] the other budget items at the first

[26:36] reading or

[26:37] >> Sure.

[26:37] >> Is that okay? I I will wait till then.

[26:40] But

[26:40] >> yeah the the intent of this particular

[26:43] item is public comment, right? So need

[26:45] to use some context.

[26:47] >> And again, I don't know how to ask this

[26:50] properly, but I have a question for

[26:51] Gary.

[26:53] Do you know is it is the this recording

[26:56] this time or is there is we don't know

[26:58] that until afterwards because the last

[27:00] city council meeting we tried to record

[27:02] it and it was not recorded. I tried to

[27:04] go back and look at something to answer

[27:06] somebody else's question about something

[27:07] that was discussed and it didn't get

[27:09] recorded. Is that something we can know

[27:12] now if it's being recorded or

[27:14] >> um It says it is.

[27:14] >> It says it is. Okay. All right. Thank

[27:16] you.

[27:17] >> It's a free service. Yeah. We're not

[27:18] paying

[27:18] >> so we never know.

[27:20] >> Yeah. Right on. Got it. Thank you.

[27:22] Thanks for that interruption.

[27:24] >> Quick question I had regarding what you

[27:25] presented on with the uh notable

[27:27] changes. I notic that community

[27:29] agreements was duplicated in there. Two

[27:31] separate accounts though 110-611

[27:33] and 110-642.

[27:35] And I was just wondering what the

[27:37] difference was between those two

[27:39] accounts. The 17611 is the our community

[27:43] agreement with the WCB. So essentially

[27:45] that's the difference between the

[27:47] lodging tax we receive. We subtract out

[27:50] their personnel expenses and then

[27:51] transfer them the amount that's left

[27:53] over. So that amount um which is 152

[27:57] there is to what we send over to.

[28:00] >> Gotcha. Okay. So then the 110642

[28:04] is our partnership with nonprofits and

[28:07] Okay. Thank you.

[28:12] Any other questions or No,

[28:15] >> I did think I I don't I can't find it

[28:18] right this minute, but I thought I saw a

[28:21] line item someplace for ARPA

[28:26] that

[28:26] >> we have an ARPA fund and we will spend

[28:28] it down um December 26.

[28:30] >> Yeah.

[28:31] >> Oh, okay.

[28:32] >> We're just kind of finishing off the

[28:33] projects that we've already discussed.

[28:34] We don't have any new additions.

[28:35] >> Okay. I was just surprised that there

[28:37] was anything [clears throat] left. Yeah,

[28:38] those all had to be earmarked and

[28:40] tagged, but you didn't necessarily have

[28:42] to have expended it as long as it was

[28:44] going to be expended and it was

[28:46] >> okay

[28:46] >> by the dates. So,

[28:48] >> there were a few lines, budget lines

[28:52] that don't have any items in them, I

[28:54] noticed. So, when I think that was a

[28:56] question I had just that I'll wait for that question. As far

[29:01] as the oper ARPA projects go, which ones

[29:03] are still out there that we haven't

[29:05] closed out and are we on track to close

[29:08] them out before the end of the year?

[29:10] >> Most of them might like little outs and

[29:12] anything, but the vast majority of them

[29:13] have been finished.

[29:16] >> Place in case there's anything.

[29:19] >> Gotcha. Okay.

[29:20] >> Didn't we commit our remaining ARPA

[29:22] money to be used for wages and for that

[29:26] to be used by the end of a certain

[29:29] period of time? So that that would free

[29:31] up the money to be a that same amount of

[29:34] money to be used for the um Lions Lake

[29:39] improvement.

[29:40] >> Correct. We did a lump sum transfer

[29:42] essentially at the end of fiscal year 24

[29:44] for about 1.2 million and then that

[29:45] money since it went to general fund to

[29:48] spend.

[29:49] >> Okay. Thank you.

[29:54] There were no no one

[29:56] signed up for public comments on that

[29:58] item. Oh,

[30:00] >> item nine, public comment regarding

[30:02] agenda items. That's the green sheet.

[30:05] Bring the green sheet up.

[30:17] » Appreciate it. Thank you,

[30:20] >> Tom. You're the first one to do this and

[30:22] did it correctly. Thank you.

[30:24] >> Excellent. Good job.

[30:24] >> So, he's on the green sheet. This is the

[30:26] green sheet is speaker registration

[30:28] public comment regarding matters listed

[30:29] on the agenda and under under Tom's name

[30:33] you also put the agenda item which is

[30:35] community funding policy. Thank you Tom.

[30:38] >> It was confusing having three sheets but

[30:41] I I worked it out. Uh, I want to

[30:45] compliment

[30:47] the council

[30:49] and the city manager and the finance

[30:51] people on all the work you've done on

[30:54] the budget issue.

[30:57] I would tell you as an outside person,

[31:00] it's kind of confusing to try to find

[31:03] something.

[31:04] You know, I I went through it a little

[31:06] bit. It looks like um in general you're

[31:11] going to spend more money on personnel

[31:13] next year, which may mean that some

[31:16] people get pay raises, and that's a good

[31:19] thing because it it's good to be

[31:21] competitive with with the wage scales.

[31:26] Some of the stuff is very detailed. If

[31:29] you look at the fire department, you can

[31:31] find out what their estimate is for hose

[31:33] nozzles.

[31:35] >> Yep. or or with the police department

[31:37] for ammunition or safety vest or

[31:40] whatever it might be. So, but I need

[31:44] help drilling down and uh

[31:48] I may ask Carolyn some questions some

[31:51] other time

[31:53] if I can. Is that allowed? Can I check

[31:56] it office sometime?

[31:58] >> Okay. All right. So, I wanted and this

[32:02] is a minor thing. I wanted to comment on

[32:07] the uh office manager's letter on

[32:11] community funding policy arnets.

[32:16] And uh so you go down to about the third

[32:20] paragraph and he says you're developing

[32:22] a process and uh that uh you want to

[32:28] formalize how it's done that

[32:31] organizations

[32:33] request

[32:35] support funding support from the city

[32:39] which the city doesn't have a lot of

[32:41] money. I usually how it works out. But

[32:44] anyway, instead there's going to be a

[32:46] process and maybe it already exists and

[32:49] I don't know. But if it's not

[32:52] formalized, then it should be set up so

[32:55] that organizations know how to apply,

[32:59] when to apply, and essentially get on

[33:03] the list saying, "Hi, we're out here.

[33:06] we'd like to have $20,000 to uh you know

[33:10] paint the sidewalk red in front of our

[33:11] house or whatever it might be, you know,

[33:13] but uh something like that. So that's my

[33:16] comment is that there needs to be a nice

[33:19] formal process and people need to know

[33:22] how to access it.

[33:25] >> Thank you. I I generally don't respond

[33:28] to public comment, but that's a fair

[33:29] point. And I I'll be first to

[33:31] acknowledge building this train as it's

[33:34] running down the tracks. We have gotten

[33:36] our thoughts collected on categories and

[33:39] general approach and now once this

[33:41] ordinance is passed, staff will have to

[33:43] build forms and processes and

[33:45] communicating.

[33:46] >> Okay. Well, very good. Well, thank you.

[33:48] >> Thanks, Tom. Yeah,

[33:49] >> Tom. Thank you. We're glad Heather's

[33:51] operation went well. Thanks.

[34:00] Public comment regarding matters not

[34:01] listed on the agenda.

[34:09] » No one.

[34:10] Thank you.

[34:12] >> That was the blue sheet, right?

[34:14] >> That was blue.

[34:20] Item 11,

[34:24] second reading of ordinance 11.1,

[34:27] an or ordinance establishing a city of

[34:29] Warrenburg's policy regarding community

[34:31] funding, contractual service agreements,

[34:34] organizational memberships, trust

[34:36] distributions,

[34:42] and

[34:46] is not there

[34:49] >> and legacy community appropriations.

[34:52] >> All right. And legacy community

[34:53] appropriations presented by Mike Scrag,

[34:56] city manager.

[34:58] >> This is a second reading. You took up

[35:00] first reading last meeting and and

[35:02] attempt was to not take first and second

[35:05] uh reading in the same evening to create

[35:07] an opportunity for for public comment

[35:10] recognizing or also amending the public

[35:12] comment process to the meeting. Uh

[35:15] nothing's changed from the ordinance

[35:16] that you saw previously. Um and we'll be

[35:19] happy to answer any questions that that

[35:21] you have with respect to process. The

[35:24] ordinance doesn't spell out the process

[35:27] in intricate detail, but it does include

[35:30] some provisions about

[35:34] um

[35:35] a written agreement, clearly defined

[35:37] scope of services, an identifiable

[35:39] public benefit, recognition of the

[35:42] city's financial kind contributions, uh

[35:45] appropriate reporting and accountability

[35:46] requirements, and annual appropriations

[35:48] approved through the budget process. The

[35:51] city attorney and I had a conversation

[35:52] about creating kind of a template

[35:54] agreement that it covers the things that

[35:57] are common across all agreements and

[35:59] then adding to a scope of services that

[36:02] are specific to a particular

[36:05] set of comments.

[36:07] We need to build flesh all that out once

[36:09] this is passed and process get it

[36:12] communicated and that

[36:15] >> should um are we going to be able when

[36:18] do you expect we'll be able to have this

[36:21] all the little specific details in place

[36:25] for our community organizations to go

[36:28] ahead and start the application process.

[36:30] >> I I think uh should be able to put an

[36:32] application together and communicate

[36:34] that pretty quickly following this

[36:36] action. I do anticipate conversations

[36:39] with community organizations answering

[36:41] questions trying to kind of flesh out in

[36:44] greater detail what we need to know to

[36:48] draft a community agreement. My hope

[36:49] would be that and we have the makings of

[36:52] the terms of the agreement for your

[36:54] consideration on the application. Um at

[36:57] least in the first round I think we we

[37:00] anticipate replication of of what we had

[37:03] in future years. We see a lot of

[37:05] requests. We may not draft agreements

[37:08] proactively for every request, but with

[37:12] our existing uh community organizations,

[37:14] I want to have a conversation with them

[37:17] and share a draft before we come back to

[37:19] you.

[37:22] >> I think this will be a good learning

[37:24] process.

[37:26] >> It admittedly it's we're fleshing it out

[37:29] as we kind of work our way through it.

[37:31] So, I appreciate everyone's patience,

[37:33] but the strategic plan conversation was

[37:35] very helpful, and I do think this

[37:38] ordinance kind of represents the

[37:40] culmination of your deliverance.

[37:42] >> I really appreciate all the work on

[37:44] this. This has been something that's

[37:46] been on my list since well before I was

[37:48] on council was to have a process that

[37:50] was more transparent and equitable and

[37:53] clear. And I really appreciate all of

[37:55] the many layers of the onion, as you've

[37:57] said before, that you've gone through.

[37:58] and um

[38:00] I appreciate learning more about the

[38:02] history of some of our partnerships and

[38:04] it's you know made me appreciate them

[38:06] even more than I already do. So thank

[38:08] you very very very much for all of the

[38:10] hours on this

[38:11] >> myself and other staff but certainly

[38:13] learned a lot more about trust funds and

[38:15] the

[38:17] ins and outs of that as well as some of

[38:19] these communities. So it was a good

[38:21] exercise.

[38:22] >> Thank you.

[38:26] Motion second reading by title.

[38:29] >> We sorry this would be motion to

[38:33] >> motion to approve the

[38:34] >> approve or

[38:35] >> reject.

[38:36] >> Yes.

[38:38] >> That okay.

[38:39] >> Is that okay? Is

[38:40] >> that what we want?

[38:42] >> Thank you.

[38:42] >> Sure.

[38:44] >> Ryenower.

[38:45] >> Yes.

[38:45] >> Osborne.

[38:46] >> Yes.

[38:47] >> Latari.

[38:47] >> Yes.

[38:48] >> Jones.

[38:48] >> Yes.

[38:49] >> Uler.

[38:50] >> Yes.

[38:50] >> Thank you.

[38:58] Item 12 12.1

[39:00] first reading of an ordinance adopting

[39:02] the fiscal year 2026 2027 annual budget.

[39:06] An ordinance adopting the annual

[39:08] operating budget for the fiscal year

[39:10] beginning October 1, 2026 for the city

[39:13] of Warrenburg, Missouri. Presented by

[39:15] Mike Scrag, city manager.

[39:18] I won't repeat all the the comments I

[39:20] gave for the public hearing portion of

[39:22] the budget, but this is first reading of

[39:24] the budget. Um be happy to answer

[39:26] questions in the the council letter and

[39:30] tried to sum summarize that we've

[39:31] removed the city's financial position

[39:33] and our fund balance in detail over the

[39:36] last couple of years. The concentrated

[39:38] elig eligible capital spending capital

[39:40] improvement fund. We transferred

[39:42] eligible capital improvement expenses

[39:44] from the general fund for capital

[39:46] improvement. avoided in increases in

[39:48] spending the general fund whenever

[39:50] possible with directing those savings to

[39:53] wages and support payment adjustments as

[39:56] our number one priority. And then the

[39:59] revised 25-y year comprehensive

[40:01] financial model has been tweaked and

[40:03] updated um to carry forward that that

[40:07] long-term planning. We'll continue to to

[40:10] look at that on a yearly basis and make

[40:12] adjustments, but that's intended to be

[40:14] the road map that might shift lanes a

[40:17] little bit, but the attendance map I

[40:19] guess

[40:21] do something drastically different

[40:22] trying to a path for the future. I'll be

[40:26] happy to answer any questions you might

[40:28] have specifically about.

[40:33] Okay.

[40:33] >> Okay. I have several questions.

[40:36] >> No problem. All right. question to call

[40:38] in just

[40:39] >> um so typically I believe we've

[40:45] presented the the draft like this once

[40:48] and then presented it again had our

[40:51] second reading at a different meeting.

[40:53] >> Do I remember correctly that we

[40:55] typically have or have done that in the

[40:57] past couple years and so what is your

[40:59] thought about not doing that this time?

[41:03] >> That's what we're doing.

[41:04] >> Not the intent. Maybe I didn't word my

[41:06] council there correctly. Um,

[41:08] >> it is presented on the agenda as a first

[41:09] reading only. Right.

[41:11] >> So,

[41:12] >> okay. I got it.

[41:14] >> So, from that standpoint, since the

[41:15] agenda's been locked in, it would

[41:17] require an amendment to the agenda at

[41:18] this point to change that.

[41:20] >> Gotcha.

[41:20] >> So, you can consider it for the second.

[41:22] >> Okay. Gotcha. Thank you.

[41:23] >> And it made me wonder about the ordering

[41:26] my recommendation and and it it could be

[41:28] confusing. The recommendation is

[41:30] approving the ordinance after the

[41:32] advisor fund first. So, That will be

[41:35] first reading this week. Second reading.

[41:37] >> I like it. Thank you. Okay. Appreciate

[41:39] that. Um

[41:42] this is a minor thing.

[41:45] For next time,

[41:47] um all of the the book tables, all of

[41:50] those wonderful and I think extremely

[41:52] easy to read and understand. Thank you

[41:54] so much. um just for next time if it

[41:58] would be possible when there's a number

[41:59] at the top to have the name of that fund

[42:01] right next to the number so that I know

[42:04] what chart of funds it is I'm looking at

[42:07] just again next time. Thank you. Um but

[42:10] so appreciate the detail

[42:14] like like our speaker said can find out

[42:17] how much we're spending on nose hoses

[42:19] and hose nozzles. can't speak. Um,

[42:25] I did have a question for Chief

[42:28] Monstrman. Um, where does or someone

[42:32] else, where does the SWAT vehicle itself

[42:36] land that I saw the equipment, but where

[42:40] does that land in the budget?

[42:45] >> I'll take that one. So we we show that

[42:47] as a lump sum purchase out of this

[42:50] fiscal 26 fiscal year. The order is

[42:53] placed we've not taken delivery. And so

[42:56] there's a number of things in this

[42:59] budget or any budget that may get

[43:01] budgeted and they don't actually

[43:03] transpire until later. We don't have a

[43:05] track record of encumbering funds and doing the accounting that flowy.

[43:12] what we'll probably do on anything that

[43:14] rolls over from one year to the next

[43:16] where we'll bring it back for final

[43:17] action. We'll advise the council that

[43:20] this was planned last year, it's being

[43:23] spent this year. It'll ne necessitate a

[43:25] budget amendment in this fiscal year. Um

[43:28] but we'll provide you an accounting of

[43:30] we budgeted it last year, we wouldn't

[43:32] spend it in reserves essentially and

[43:34] then spend time. So we

[43:38] >> right now this budget does include the

[43:39] allotment for the vehicle. If we want to

[43:40] do the certainly can. It'll be in the

[43:42] capital outlay category in the police

[43:44] department general fund. We're using

[43:45] general fund reserve projects.

[43:50] » Capital outlay.

[43:51] >> Yes.

[43:52] >> Gotcha.

[43:52] >> It's in the vehicles. So there'll be

[43:55] 116211

[43:57] for the wire.

[43:58] >> Great. Thank you.

[44:00] >> Okay. And

[44:01] >> I did recognize that carry over and

[44:03] build it in. Sorry.

[44:04] >> Okay. No, that's right. Just uh it's a

[44:07] great piece of machinery. I just want to

[44:09] make sure it's in there somewhere. I

[44:11] didn't doubt that it was. I just

[44:12] wondered where it was.

[44:14] >> Um, and at the one of the budget repeats

[44:18] retreats, my goodness, I mentioned

[44:21] adding the Holden Street Bridge to our

[44:23] identified but unfunded. Just we I don't

[44:26] think it's on there on that list. So

[44:31] » might just want to check that

[44:36] because it is it is definitely a need.

[44:41] Um

[44:45] and this is just I'm honestly just

[44:47] curious. Let's see if I can find

[44:52] in the water pollution control.

[44:59] There was a something called a onetoone

[45:02] program or one slash one program. I'm

[45:03] just curious what that is.

[45:06] >> I think that's ini.

[45:09] >> You got sorry. Yes. What is that?

[45:12] >> Uh inflow and infiltration. So that is

[45:16] our pipes underground as they get old we

[45:18] need to line them or replace them or

[45:23] >> Gotcha. Okay.

[45:24] >> Yeah. So

[45:25] >> just a question again. No question that

[45:27] it's needed. Just wondered what it was.

[45:29] >> Yeah.

[45:31] >> Um

[45:33] in

[45:36] I made Oh no. Is the Magguire Street is

[45:39] the McGuire Street Bridge in the budget

[45:42] as unfunded someplace?

[45:45] >> Yes,

[45:46] but um bridge.

[45:50] So we it breaks across different pages,

[45:54] but the

[45:57] tree

[46:02] got

[46:08] I've never seen that.

[46:10] I think the

[46:13] plan is to

[46:16] roll over the debt service once the debt

[46:18] service matures for city hall district

[46:24] and that frees up funds for

[46:30] breakouts.

[46:57] For those who don't have a packet for

[46:58] the evening, it's 337 pages is what we delivered to her. So, I just want you

[47:05] to know it's not like it was a couple of

[47:07] pages we're flipping through here.

[47:10] >> I know. And I did not make a good note

[47:11] of my next question of what document was

[47:13] on.

[47:15] >> I'm glad you're taking time to look for

[47:17] something because I am too.

[47:31] Yeah. So, in the

[47:34] Capital improvement sales tax fund half

[47:37] cent

[47:39] improvement sales tax. There is a line

[47:42] from aguire street overpass city shade

[47:45] of $5 million.

[47:47] >> Okay. And it assumes it is financed

[47:51] and you begin with starting well this

[47:54] assumes starting in 2026 but it spreads

[47:57] that contribution over

[48:02] » and it's where again could you say

[48:03] please

[48:04] >> um under the capital improvement sales

[48:06] tax fund half capital improvement sales

[48:09] tax

[48:15] » CI sales tax fund, total expenses, net

[48:19] positive or negative fund balance, and

[48:21] then it has a gold um street overpass

[48:26] city share $5 million.

[48:29] It shows financing cost

[48:34] follows

[48:37] works.

[48:38] So, it's in the the fund balance

[48:41] calculation portion spreadsheet.

[48:44] >> Okay. Okay.

[48:48] Next question. This is in the

[48:52] what's it called? The

[48:56] book tables again. Page 25 which is

[49:06] 110-810

[49:08] non-EP departmental.

[49:13] Can just curiosity

[49:17] a couple things there. First the line

[49:19] says transfer to verf v.

[49:22] >> Yes.

[49:25] So last year did get a $100,000

[49:27] essentially startup loan to the ver from

[49:29] the general fund as well as the transfer

[49:31] from the cip fund. This year we no

[49:33] longer need it. Um so we're just going

[49:34] to do the cip transfer because the

[49:36] fund's starting to get little

[49:37] >> legs and sure. Thank you. And then what

[49:41] is the neighborhood improvement line?

[49:43] What what is that budget for?

[49:45] >> That's the transfer the general fund

[49:47] makes to the NID. So the Hawthorne N. Um

[49:50] that's for the assessments of the

[49:51] properties of the city. So we about

[49:53] $100,000 every year and that also comes

[49:55] with the fund balance.

[49:56] >> Gotcha. Thank you.

[50:06] Um,

[50:11] and then another time, I don't want to

[50:13] take time to do it now, but at some

[50:16] future meeting or maybe at another sort

[50:20] of planning meeting, I would love to get

[50:22] a little bit more detail about

[50:25] what's under the legislative budget that

[50:27] includes the city council and kind of

[50:28] what each of those lines are so that

[50:31] Again, I have a better understanding.

[50:35] Maybe no one will ever ask me, but if

[50:36] someone asked me why is what's the city

[50:38] council spending this dollar amount on,

[50:40] I would like to just kind of have a

[50:42] little list of what that is. Again, I do

[50:45] not need that tonight or anytime

[50:47] urgently, but it would just be nice to

[50:48] have a little more detail about what's

[50:51] under,

[50:52] you know, our area that we might need to

[50:55] know about. So do any might be able to

[50:57] give you just a quick overview of some

[51:00] of those things but travel MML

[51:02] >> right some things are really obvious

[51:04] about what they must be but um others

[51:07] aren't as obvious to me so

[51:08] >> there's some there are also um recording

[51:12] of plats and recording um fees that that

[51:18] are through that fund

[51:20] >> um and there are the MML costs there are

[51:24] the elected official training um

[51:27] certification that um those costs are in

[51:30] there.

[51:31] >> You've got in there

[51:33] >> cost for other boards of commissions. I

[51:36] know you're planning and zoning

[51:37] commission, board of adjustment and

[51:39] historic preservation commission

[51:40] expenses all roll up under the

[51:43] legislative item.

[51:44] >> Yeah, that makes sense.

[51:45] >> So, a lot of this is repetitive just

[51:47] kind of

[51:48] >> we do it year after year, but we can

[51:50] certainly write that out,

[51:52] >> too. Yeah,

[51:53] >> just let's up

[51:54] >> run a report a detailed report.

[51:55] >> Yeah, that would be great.

[52:01] » I think

[52:05] that's it. Thank you.

[52:08] >> I just wanted to double check. BRF BF,

[52:12] you said vehicle

[52:15] >> equipment. That was the I was looking

[52:16] for E. So, thank you.

[52:19] Uh the other question I had was

[52:23] on the fiscal model for

[52:26] a street program and Hawthorne uh TDD

[52:31] since that TDD has been closed out. Is

[52:34] it our intention to just keep that in

[52:37] its own fund until we have identified a

[52:39] project? Are we transferring that into a

[52:43] different fund eventually? What's kind

[52:45] of the idea with that? just a chunk of

[52:48] money. So,

[52:49] >> so the dollars you're seeing in that

[52:51] report are as a result of transportation

[52:54] del development district and those

[52:57] properties going there's a foreclosure

[52:59] sale. So, the city acquired some of them

[53:02] not all of the properties and as a

[53:04] result we now pay transportation

[53:07] development district fees like a private

[53:09] property owner would. So the numbers

[53:12] that you're seeing in here are

[53:14] projecting up the remaining payments

[53:16] that we would be making in those

[53:18] properties. The property itself we now

[53:21] own and it could be a redevelopment

[53:24] project. It could be something that we

[53:26] um market or work with developer to

[53:29] redevelop. But these expenses basically

[53:33] represent the the transportation

[53:36] development is the fee obligation on

[53:39] purchase. But

[53:41] if we sell it sooner, we may not have to

[53:43] make all those payments.

[53:48] But so in terms of it being in a fund,

[53:51] we used to pay it as an expense out of

[53:54] the general fund for some of the same

[53:56] reasons we talked about

[53:59] transfer expenses to capital. We tried

[54:01] to take that expense and take it out of

[54:05] general fund. So

[54:07] >> I think

[54:08] >> we might have been talking about the NI.

[54:09] Oh, I'm sorry.

[54:11] >> Yes, maybe. Yes.

[54:15] >> I think this is the NID number.

[54:17] >> Yes. So, the TDD is part of the

[54:19] financial model that you have. It says

[54:22] that the remaining balance uh after the

[54:24] TDD was closed out is $600,000 there.

[54:28] >> That

[54:29] >> Sorry,

[54:29] >> thank you. No, it's all on me. It's my

[54:31] conclusion. That is uh remaining revenue

[54:34] that was left after the the TDD expenses

[54:38] were paid out. We the state expects us

[54:41] to treat that separately and only use

[54:44] those remaining funds for purposes that

[54:46] are in keeping with the original intent

[54:48] of the transportation development. So

[54:50] there are specified boundaries there

[54:53] things that we could do with that. We

[54:56] haven't the staff has not identified or

[54:58] proposed anything with absolute

[55:00] consideration. So that money is just an

[55:02] open pattern that we uh find and agree

[55:06] upon use. Possible and the intersection

[55:09] at Cooper and Magguire is part of that.

[55:12] So if we could apply that towards

[55:14] McGuire Street corridor improvement at

[55:16] some point or we could apply it

[55:18] somewhere else in that the boundaries of

[55:21] that TB.

[55:22] >> Perfect. Um otherwise that was all my

[55:26] questions. Just want to say thank you

[55:27] again to staff for uh putting all this

[55:29] together. Um this is my first time going

[55:31] through the budget. You all made it

[55:32] super easy for me. So I do appreciate

[55:34] it.

[55:36] We're very fortunate to have so many

[55:38] skilled, talented folks in the finance

[55:41] area. So, thank you.

[55:43] >> As you can see, Jessica knows us

[55:45] backwards and forwards. [clears throat]

[55:48] >> Especially accountants. I

[55:51] need to cross check on account

[55:55] seen that.

[55:58] >> Any other questions at this time? We

[56:00] have a

[56:47] presented by Carolyn Toway.

[56:49] >> I just wanted to pipe in real quick. Um,

[56:50] I took a look at our proformer so I can

[56:52] answer. C Latari's question. So the

[56:55] reassessment is how much money um we are

[56:57] going to get because of that 1072%

[57:00] growth in the base. So this is just

[57:01] breaking out how much of our growth in

[57:03] tax revenue is coming from the

[59:56] Musman, police chief.

[59:58] >> Good evening, mayor, council members. Uh

[1:00:00] this evening bringing forward to you

[1:00:02] theou with the Warrenburg school

[1:00:04] district. It's one we sign every year.

[1:00:06] Um this year we have reduced down from

[1:00:09] four positions to three for funding from

[1:00:12] the school district. Um they said they

[1:00:15] might revisit that next year. So at this

[1:00:18] time we hadn't been able to um build

[1:00:22] that fourth position in the years past

[1:00:24] anyway. Um it's just unfortunate that's

[1:00:27] where we move to. Um

[1:00:31] they're they got the list of the cost of

[1:00:33] what we're projecting it will cost and

[1:00:35] the reimbursement for it. So I stand for

[1:00:38] any questions if you wish. Uh same

[1:00:59] the wages that we have set out.

[1:01:00] >> So we have presented that to them that

[1:01:03] those wages are going to be changing and

[1:01:08] they had said initially with the fourth

[1:01:11] uh with fourth officer buffered in there

[1:01:14] that shouldn't be a problem but they are

[1:01:16] aware of and it should be covered

[1:01:20] >> included in that 284 give or take.

[1:01:23] >> I believe it is give or take. on there,

[1:01:25] but without having the projected cost of

[1:01:28] what the wages were going to be without

[1:01:30] letting that information get out to

[1:01:33] officers as well because we weren't sure

[1:01:35] when we were taking this forward. I

[1:01:37] can't say that exactly.

[1:01:39] >> Understood. Um, as far as the actual

[1:01:42] officers,

[1:01:44] [clears throat] so like you said, we

[1:01:45] weren't filling that fourth position for

[1:01:47] years past. So, was that amount reduced?

[1:01:50] Are they paying per officer technically?

[1:01:53] And then this is just kind of

[1:01:54] >> per officer on the reimbursement. Um

[1:01:58] >> yeah, so per officer

[1:02:00] >> and

[1:02:01] >> that language on page five in that last

[1:02:03] sentence actually says this amount will

[1:02:05] be an actual reimbursement to the city

[1:02:07] based upon the hours of the officers are

[1:02:10] assigned to SRO

[1:02:11] >> and we have it broke down line item in

[1:02:14] our end code system of how many hours

[1:02:16] they work per week overtime and

[1:02:18] everything as well. So

[1:02:20] >> uh last question on it on the fiscal

[1:02:22] side. Uh are we paying anything for

[1:02:27] their during uh breaks and things like

[1:02:30] that, summer break, winter break?

[1:02:32] >> So we we absorb that cost break or

[1:02:36] possibly in the winter break as well,

[1:02:38] but that's still part of the school

[1:02:39] year. But when they're off during the

[1:02:41] summer when they're not doing any school

[1:02:43] activities because they still go to

[1:02:46] school resource training. So that the

[1:02:49] school will reimburse us for as well. So

[1:02:52] >> Gotcha. Okay.

[1:02:53] >> It's a short period that they don't that

[1:02:55] they're not covered.

[1:02:56] >> In which case they're out on the street

[1:02:58] or

[1:02:58] >> Yes. When they're not in schools,

[1:02:59] they're on the street.

[1:03:00] >> Perfect. Thank you.

[1:03:02] >> And we just invoice we invoice the

[1:03:05] school monthly

[1:03:08] quarterly.

[1:03:09] >> So yeah, we we got that straightened out

[1:03:11] when Jessica and them came in because

[1:03:13] there was a little bit of billing

[1:03:14] discrepancy and we wanted to nail that

[1:03:16] down. So they've been on top of it. You

[1:03:19] guys been on top of that.

[1:03:22] >> They handle that besides

[1:03:25] >> and then

[1:03:27] >> and they wear our uniforms.

[1:03:29] >> Yes. Yes. Absolutely. There are police

[1:03:32] officers

[1:03:33] >> outside of the fiscal impact. Uh I know

[1:03:36] it's been a big story over the past

[1:03:37] couple weeks using those electric shock

[1:03:40] gloves up in Nebraska schools. I'm

[1:03:42] guessing we're not using anything like

[1:03:43] that around here. haven't heard that we

[1:03:45] are. But

[1:03:46] >> I apologize. I have no recollection. I

[1:03:49] haven't seen it. I've been very busy. I

[1:03:51] don't know what you're talking about.

[1:03:52] >> I saw the articles. I honestly didn't

[1:03:55] know if they were technology that was

[1:03:57] even available, let alone how much they

[1:03:59] cost there. So, they are gloves that

[1:04:02] they can apply electric shock. We don't

[1:04:04] have any.

[1:04:05] >> We have We don't have anything in

[1:04:07] regarding to that. That would be

[1:04:09] something I would Yeah, I'd have to look

[1:04:11] that if that's actual police equipment

[1:04:13] or not. So, I'm not aware of that and we

[1:04:16] have none of that. Only thing we have

[1:04:18] are axon tasers that are stab anything

[1:04:21] with electrical current. So, just want

[1:04:23] to make sure I can share the message out

[1:04:25] there. So, thank you.

[1:04:27] >> One question I had on theou

[1:04:30] at the bottom of the page, it does say

[1:04:32] for commissioned police officers in

[1:04:34] theou. I don't know if that

[1:04:36] >> that

[1:04:37] >> matters. changed about two or three

[1:04:39] different times when we got back. So,

[1:04:43] >> it's at the bottom of the first page.

[1:04:44] So,

[1:04:46] >> the first line of administration

[1:05:00] » I see

[1:05:03] >> page one.

[1:05:04] >> Oh, it does commission officers. Yeah.

[1:05:06] Every other place in the document is

[1:05:08] three except for that one place. I think

[1:05:11] that typographical error would not

[1:05:13] change the document.

[1:05:16] >> The district did approve it

[1:05:18] >> with the way that it is

[1:05:23] » go to the provisions of this agreement

[1:05:25] on staffing. So I think that covers it.

[1:05:31] » Uh you said the school board already

[1:05:33] approved this.

[1:05:34] >> Okay. So it will need to be approved as

[1:05:37] person to if we want to make an

[1:05:39] amendment they would have to revote on.

[1:05:40] >> Yeah. I would tell you that based on the

[1:05:42] wording of that paragraph that that

[1:05:44] remaining four that got to be the only

[1:05:48] one that didn't get changed. Uh that remaining word four does not change

[1:05:52] the fact that it's only going to be

[1:05:54] three because preceding that it says

[1:05:56] subject to everything else in this

[1:05:58] agreement that we'll provide for. The

[1:06:01] rest of the agreement specifies that

[1:06:03] it's three.

[1:06:05] I I think we can communicate with the

[1:06:07] cover. There's no intent. If there's any

[1:06:09] dis any confusion about the intent,

[1:06:11] we'll bring them back. But there's some

[1:06:14] of the lines that just script.

[1:06:17] >> Yeah. Well, if they're paying per

[1:06:19] officer anyway,

[1:06:21] they would be paying for

[1:06:23] >> Exactly.

[1:06:24] >> Yeah. And I don't want to speak for the

[1:06:27] school or the superintendent, but he he

[1:06:29] has been very open in sharing their

[1:06:31] financial challenges. They are

[1:06:33] struggling uh just to balance the budget

[1:06:36] and make payroll. They're having to make

[1:06:38] adjustments to output their budget

[1:06:41] challenges.

[1:06:44] I shouldn't say they're struggling to

[1:06:45] make payroll [laughter]

[1:06:48] adjusted budget.

[1:06:50] >> Yeah,

[1:06:51] >> it's challeng challenging time.

[1:06:54] >> Made me a little nervous. Sorry.

[1:06:57] [laughter]

[1:06:59] » Sorry. [clears throat]

[1:07:02] We appreciate the police department

[1:07:04] working with them. It says over 25 years

[1:07:05] now. I didn't know that.

[1:07:07] >> Yeah. So, I've been here

[1:07:10] going on 26 27 and they've had a SR two

[1:07:13] SRO's whenever I first started and we

[1:07:15] grew it to the trying to grow it to the

[1:07:17] fourth. But so

[1:07:21] great.

[1:08:15] Garden Trail Construction Project in the

[1:08:17] city of Warrenburg, Missouri, presented

[1:08:18] by Chris Deal, parks and recreation

[1:08:20] director. Hello, Chris.

[1:08:23] >> Thank you. Good evening, mayor and

[1:08:25] members of the council. Um the ordinance

[1:08:27] is a contract agreement with T and

[1:08:30] Construction Incorporated for the

[1:08:32] Hawthorne Park Sensory Garden Trail

[1:08:34] Construction. Um as the council may

[1:08:36] recall, this project has three phases.

[1:08:39] Phase one is completion of a concrete

[1:08:41] parking lot at Hawthorne Park um to make

[1:08:45] it ADA accessible. That grant funding

[1:08:48] amount was $25,000 by Johnson County

[1:08:51] Board of Services. Phase two was the

[1:08:54] design of the trail completed by McLar

[1:08:57] and this was also funded by Johnson

[1:08:59] County Board of Services for $20,000.

[1:09:03] Phase three, uh, the parks and

[1:09:05] recreation department solicited sealed

[1:09:07] bids for the construction of the trail.

[1:09:10] This includes site preparation, grading

[1:09:13] and earth work, erosion control, tree

[1:09:15] protection, concrete trail construction,

[1:09:18] handrail installation, and turf

[1:09:20] establishment. The um the city received

[1:09:24] three bids. Tina Construction

[1:09:26] Incorporated

[1:09:28] um submitted the apparent low bid of

[1:09:31] 126,75670.

[1:09:35] JC Meyers submitted um a bid for

[1:09:39] 150,41910

[1:09:42] and Max Commercial Construction LLC

[1:09:44] submitted a bid for 1634806.

[1:09:49] Following review of the proposals, uh,

[1:09:51] Tina Construction was identified as the

[1:09:54] apparent low bid for, um, as qualified

[1:09:57] for for as a the qualified bidder,

[1:09:59] excuse me. Martin Parks and Recreation

[1:10:02] Board reviewed the bid results and also

[1:10:05] project funding and approved the

[1:10:08] contract award to be forwarded to the

[1:10:10] city council for final final

[1:10:12] authorization.

[1:10:14] This project supports a strategic plan

[1:10:17] by investment in infrastructure and also

[1:10:20] city goals of improving public

[1:10:23] facilities and expanding accessibility.

[1:10:27] Under fiscal impact, um as stated, the

[1:10:30] total contract amount for this

[1:10:32] construction is 12675670.

[1:10:36] Um confirmed grants and donations total

[1:10:39] 43,300.

[1:10:41] That's consisting of $25,000

[1:10:44] from Johnson County Board of Services,

[1:10:47] $2,000 from the Lawrenburg Parks for the

[1:10:49] 21, excuse me, 21st Century Foundation,

[1:10:53] uh $1,300

[1:10:55] uh dollars from West Central Electric

[1:10:57] Foundation, and again, additional 15,000

[1:11:01] from the Warrensburg Parks for the 21st

[1:11:04] Century Foundation uh commitment payable

[1:11:06] upon request.

[1:11:08] So, the remaining funding uh requirement

[1:11:11] is $83,45670

[1:11:14] uh to be provided from the $100,000

[1:11:17] fiscal year 2627

[1:11:20] capital improvement allocation for

[1:11:22] trails and parking lots. This project um

[1:11:25] has a deadline completion of December of

[1:11:28] this next year.

[1:11:30] Further grants and donations received

[1:11:32] for the project may offset the parks and

[1:11:35] recreation department's contribution as

[1:11:38] permitted by the final funding and

[1:11:40] accounting plan. So, as planned, this

[1:11:43] project will improve accessibility

[1:11:45] within Hawthorne Park and support

[1:11:47] recreational opportunities for varying

[1:11:49] ages and abilities. And a drawing of the

[1:11:52] trail is in included in your packet.

[1:11:56] Therefore, staff of the park board

[1:11:57] recommends the approval of the contract

[1:12:00] with Latina Construction appropriate in

[1:12:02] the amount not to seed 12675670

[1:12:07] and I will answer any questions that you

[1:12:10] may have.

[1:12:11] >> I do have a question. Um, looking at the

[1:12:13] drawing, I had to drive out there so

[1:12:16] that I could get feeling for so the

[1:12:18] trail this trail is inside of the

[1:12:22] fencing.

[1:12:24] >> Yes, it is. It's inside. It's inside the

[1:12:26] park.

[1:12:27] >> Okay. And looking here, it says it's a

[1:12:30] standard 10 foot sidewalk. And that

[1:12:32] sidewalk is uh asphalt or concrete.

[1:12:36] >> It is concrete and 4 in thick.

[1:12:39] >> Okay. Perfect. All right. Those are the

[1:12:42] only questions I had. Thank you.

[1:12:46] >> Just curious. It park's looking great.

[1:12:48] This is very exciting addition or what

[1:12:50] you did earlier this year. Do we think

[1:12:53] we might be able to try to look at

[1:12:55] getting parking on Hawthorne on that

[1:12:57] east side of the road in the future or

[1:12:59] something

[1:13:01] to allow parking? I know the parking

[1:13:02] lot's kind of small there.

[1:13:04] >> Have to take that to traffic.

[1:13:06] >> I know. I know. Just a a thought.

[1:13:10] >> We did the last ribbon cutting and it

[1:13:12] gets crowded.

[1:13:14] >> East side of Haw.

[1:13:16] >> There's no parking.

[1:13:17] >> East side of

[1:13:18] >> East side. Yeah.

[1:13:19] >> Is there no parking on either side?

[1:13:20] >> On Hawthorne.

[1:13:21] >> Uhhuh. on Hawthorne

[1:13:23] because there's a chance you can park

[1:13:25] there. People did for the ribbon

[1:13:26] cutting, but it says it's not a parking

[1:13:29] >> not allowed at this time. Just something

[1:13:30] to look into in the future because the

[1:13:32] park's getting a lot of

[1:13:41] » Yeah.

[1:13:42] Anyway, it looks great.

[1:13:44] >> Yep. Any other any questions for Chris?

[1:13:53] Motion to move the second reading by

[1:13:54] title only.

[1:14:33] Item 136,

[1:14:35] an ordinance authorizing the city

[1:14:37] manager and city clerk to execute a

[1:14:39] contract agreement with Westport

[1:14:41] Construction Company for the 2026 fire

[1:14:44] station number two concrete improvements

[1:14:46] in the city of Warrenburg, Missouri,

[1:14:48] presented by Phil Edlage, public works

[1:14:50] director. Good evening, council members.

[1:14:53] So, um,

[1:14:56] this is for the fire department, uh,

[1:14:59] station two, concrete repair and

[1:15:01] replacement. Uh, we had a really strong,

[1:15:05] we had 18 plan holders request packets,

[1:15:09] nine responsive bids came back. Uh,

[1:15:13] due to the fact that most of those bids

[1:15:15] were a little bit overpriced, the way we

[1:15:17] set up our bid packet, we can remove a

[1:15:20] line item. uh had to to get it

[1:15:24] underneath the amount of money that we

[1:15:26] have for this project. So um when we did

[1:15:29] that, the contract amount will be

[1:15:32] 205,7620

[1:15:36] um to Westport Construction Company.

[1:15:39] This will replace the fire truck

[1:15:42] driveway uh onto Corporate Drive.

[1:15:46] Uh it'll replace deter deteriorated

[1:15:49] sidewalks removing trip hazards and

[1:15:53] public safety. Uh it'll add additional

[1:15:56] parking and sidewalk connecting that

[1:15:59] area. Uh it'll support future

[1:16:02] development of that area as well. So,

[1:16:06] we're happy that Westport Construction

[1:16:09] Company, they are they've done multiple

[1:16:12] projects as we should show shown in the

[1:16:14] couple pictures in the packet.

[1:16:17] We recommend that it is approved. I'll

[1:16:19] stand for any questions.

[1:16:21] >> Um, I have a question about the bidding

[1:16:23] process, um, which is related to this,

[1:16:26] but then other ones as well. Uh, for

[1:16:28] Westport, where are they out of?

[1:16:31] They've

[1:16:32] >> I have to ask

[1:16:34] Clinton

[1:16:35] >> Clinton um do we have any I understand

[1:16:38] we try for the lowest and best bids. Do

[1:16:40] we take into consideration local people?

[1:16:44] >> Yes.

[1:16:44] >> Even if it is the next person.

[1:16:47] >> Yes. We had we had RTOR, we had Chasey

[1:16:52] Meyers, we had

[1:16:53] >> I'm just in terms of the actual award uh

[1:16:56] do we take do we weight our local people

[1:17:00] a little bit higher than

[1:17:01] >> No, because this is a statutory issue.

[1:17:03] So statutoily speaking, it doesn't say

[1:17:06] local can be considered differently.

[1:17:08] It's just gives you the parameters for

[1:17:10] that. Lowest and best is an interesting

[1:17:12] phrase because it doesn't mean the

[1:17:14] cheapest. It means a combination of

[1:17:16] factors. So, um, you if we were to have

[1:17:20] a written policy that says if you're

[1:17:21] within this geographic boundary, we

[1:17:23] consider it better. I would bet two

[1:17:25] things would happen. One, we would get

[1:17:26] fewer bids from outside and two, all of

[1:17:28] our bids would go fine.

[1:17:31] >> Yeah. So we don't have anything in

[1:17:34] addition to the statuto

[1:17:36] have anything that creates a local

[1:17:38] preference and I can share with any real

[1:17:42] world firstand

[1:17:45] preference that that actually harm the

[1:17:48] competition. I was in a community that

[1:17:51] tried that and had venders come to I

[1:17:53] just won't be good.

[1:17:56] >> Understood. Thank you.

[1:17:59] >> Thank you. I had a question in the

[1:18:02] council letter. Just want to make sure

[1:18:04] I'm understanding numbers again. Um one

[1:18:08] point it says the budgeted amount

[1:18:12] projected was the 20576 and then the

[1:18:15] budget amount lower down on that letter

[1:18:18] says 200 238300.

[1:18:21] So, was 238300 the the actual budget and

[1:18:25] now what we think it's going to be is

[1:18:27] the 20576.

[1:18:30] >> Yes. Yes. 238 was the original number

[1:18:33] that we had the max all the bids came in

[1:18:36] over that.

[1:18:37] >> Yes.

[1:18:37] >> So, we had to eliminate something out of

[1:18:40] the project. That's why we had five

[1:18:42] items.

[1:18:43] >> See that piece out? Yeah. Okay. Great.

[1:18:45] And then just curious the strategic plan

[1:18:49] is referenced um investing in

[1:18:51] infrastructure focus one that makes

[1:18:52] total sense but I don't understand how

[1:18:55] this is about developing career

[1:18:57] progression opportunities within

[1:18:58] departments and the organization

[1:19:00] >> well it's make things better it gives

[1:19:04] people like the upgraded cars that PD is

[1:19:08] now using more people want to come to

[1:19:10] work there so we make our facilities

[1:19:12] better it's going to attract more people

[1:19:15] who got

[1:19:17] >> and it will expand some of our training

[1:19:19] facility activity

[1:19:22] training.

[1:19:25] >> Okay. Cool.

[1:19:31] » Anything else?

[1:19:32] >> That's it.

[1:19:33] >> All right.

[1:19:34] Move to separating by title.

[1:19:37] >> Back on track.

[1:19:40] >> Brad,

[1:19:41] >> yes.

[1:19:41] >> Osborne,

[1:20:07] >> Thank you.

[1:20:12] Item 137,

[1:20:14] an ordinance authorizing the mayor and

[1:20:16] city clerk to sign an amendment to the

[1:20:18] updated services agreement, city

[1:20:21] attorney and city councelor of the city

[1:20:23] of Warrenburg, Missouri, presented by

[1:20:25] Adam Summer, city attorney and city

[1:20:27] councelor.

[1:20:28] >> Good evening, mayor and city council. I

[1:20:30] don't come up to this microphone often.

[1:20:32] Um, usually a really good So, I provided

[1:20:37] you with an updated letter. uh it

[1:20:39] mirrors the previous letter uh for

[1:20:41] approval with the contract terms. That

[1:20:44] was what was in the packet. What I've

[1:20:45] just given you all in the handout is I

[1:20:48] went through and just did a quick

[1:20:50] comparison of what has been spent in

[1:20:53] 2026 at the current rates, averaged that

[1:20:56] out over the seven months that we have

[1:20:58] completed for billing purposes, and then

[1:21:00] took a look at what that change would

[1:21:02] look like compared to 2027 to give you

[1:21:04] all an idea of what I'm actually asking

[1:21:06] for in terms of a change. Um, some notes

[1:21:11] on that are, uh, the current rate is set

[1:21:13] at 150 an hour. I use that rate when I'm

[1:21:17] coming up with the prosecution flat fee.

[1:21:19] It's currently $4,150 a month. That

[1:21:23] comes out to about 28 hours. Um, I track

[1:21:27] for my own purposes actual time that I'm

[1:21:29] spending. I'm not spending 28 hours a

[1:21:31] month on prosecution. I'm spending more

[1:21:33] like 35 hours a month on prosecution.

[1:21:35] So, uh, I have considered that with the

[1:21:38] new rate as well. Um, so moving the

[1:21:43] prosecution from 150 to 165 and then I

[1:21:46] budgeted it for 30 hours, not 28. So a

[1:21:48] 2-hour increase to what it was assuming

[1:21:50] before, uh, comes out to $5,000 flat. So

[1:21:53] that's where that number comes from.

[1:21:54] That's the rationale behind it. Um, as

[1:21:58] we have, interestingly enough, as we

[1:22:00] move away from paper tickets into

[1:22:03] electronic tickets, some of the function

[1:22:05] and time changes and takes away some of

[1:22:07] the hand time that I'm doing, but it

[1:22:10] replaces that with the fact that now we

[1:22:12] have frankly longer and better reports.

[1:22:14] It's a result of the technology of ch uh

[1:22:16] changes uh and video that is much more

[1:22:21] useful for review purposes. So time I

[1:22:24] would have spent maybe sitting there

[1:22:26] going through paper tickets that time's

[1:22:28] kind of converted over to that. Um we

[1:22:30] also for the first time in a long long

[1:22:33] have almost all the number of officers

[1:22:35] that you can actually have. More

[1:22:37] officers means more tickets which means

[1:22:40] more time which means more people. Uh so

[1:22:43] you can kind of look at that number. you

[1:22:45] know, if there's three court dates in a

[1:22:47] month you're talking about right there,

[1:22:48] that's 20ish hours just for being here

[1:22:51] physically in court. So, trying to just,

[1:22:54] you know, do it as best I can and

[1:22:55] balance it as best I can. Uh,

[1:22:58] nonprosecution work, uh, currently, uh,

[1:23:02] based on the averages for 2026,

[1:23:05] uh, that averaged out to about 22 hours

[1:23:08] a month in just non totally unrelated to

[1:23:12] being a prosecutor. So whether it's

[1:23:14] being at a meeting or helping with

[1:23:15] ordinance preparation, anything like

[1:23:16] that, um that number based on everything

[1:23:20] that we have coming up in 2027,

[1:23:22] including recottification,

[1:23:25] uh which is a very very hands-on

[1:23:27] project. Uh I in the estimate to just to

[1:23:30] give you an idea, I put 32 hours uh a

[1:23:33] month of work there. The combination

[1:23:36] there is the recottification for sure.

[1:23:38] And also one of the things that uh I

[1:23:42] have picked up on in the last 18 months

[1:23:44] of or little more than that, 18 months

[1:23:46] and change of getting to do this is that

[1:23:48] one of the things that uh Mike has

[1:23:51] brought as a city manager is one of my

[1:23:55] favorite questions which is why are we

[1:23:57] doing it that way? And why are we doing

[1:24:00] it that way? 100% of the time winds up

[1:24:03] with the lawyer being involved in some

[1:24:05] way, shape, or form. So, that's a good

[1:24:07] thing. It also means probably a little

[1:24:09] bit more time that we're spending. But

[1:24:10] we're looking at like we did tonight

[1:24:11] with the new policies, right? Looking at

[1:24:14] things we've been doing, why are we

[1:24:15] doing it? How can we make that better,

[1:24:17] more efficient, more transparent? uh

[1:24:19] which is why I'm standing here in open

[1:24:20] session transparency because uh legal

[1:24:24] fees and city legal fees are uh a big

[1:24:26] deal and they're a big deal in a lot of

[1:24:28] places and this is something we could do

[1:24:31] in close session. I choose to do it in

[1:24:32] an open session because what the

[1:24:34] taxpayers are getting for my services

[1:24:37] and representing not just the city but

[1:24:39] the citizens of the city when I stand in

[1:24:41] court, I'm standing on their behalf to

[1:24:43] say the thing that the person has done

[1:24:45] needs to be dealt with. And so I think

[1:24:47] it's important that they know where

[1:24:48] their money's going and why. So what

[1:24:50] that gives you is a yearly estimate with

[1:24:54] the increasing not just the rate but

[1:24:56] increasing the literal number of hours

[1:24:58] that's expected. Takes the yearly

[1:25:00] estimate to just over $123,000

[1:25:04] which is a pretty good chunk of money.

[1:25:06] Um, so I of course compared to other

[1:25:10] places at 165 an hour that would put my

[1:25:14] rate uh currently $50 an hour lower than

[1:25:17] the rate that is being paid in the city

[1:25:19] of Sidelia. So maybe it's not apples to

[1:25:21] oranges but Sadelia has uh let's see

[1:25:25] 2020 census in Sedia was 21,725

[1:25:28] people. Current estimate is a change in

[1:25:31] the positive of 900 people. So just over

[1:25:35] 20 22,500.

[1:25:38] Warnsburg's 2020 census was 19,337.

[1:25:42] It's 2025 estimated changes plus 1,900

[1:25:46] people. Uh you don't have to be an

[1:25:48] expert in housing to drive down DD and

[1:25:50] know there's more people now. So more

[1:25:52] people, more tickets, more everything uh

[1:25:55] that has to be dealt with in general. So

[1:25:58] that is why I have brought that to you.

[1:25:59] Um, and the other purpose of that is,

[1:26:03] you know, this is a $59 million

[1:26:05] corporation. Uh, and you ought to have

[1:26:07] good legal representation. And one of

[1:26:10] the things that I should be able to do

[1:26:11] is spend the time and effort that is

[1:26:14] needed for a corporation of this size to

[1:26:16] run. And so, since I have started doing

[1:26:19] this uh position, since I have taken

[1:26:21] this position over, I have made a

[1:26:23] concerted effort. And as of July 31st,

[1:26:26] 2026, I no longer carry any open

[1:26:29] domestic files at all. Uh I am carrying

[1:26:32] a very limited amount of litigation

[1:26:34] files. That way I am not subject to the

[1:26:36] whim of many many many many hearings

[1:26:39] that will keep me away from doing the

[1:26:41] duties and have been able to set up a

[1:26:43] schedule that allows me to be very

[1:26:44] nimble and accessible for not just Mike

[1:26:48] as the city manager, but for department

[1:26:50] heads. And I think every department head

[1:26:52] has a cell phone at this point that they

[1:26:53] don't they should. Uh so that is why I'm

[1:26:56] here asking for that and I appreciate

[1:26:58] any questions you have.

[1:27:01] >> When does this go into effect or

[1:27:02] possibly

[1:27:03] >> rate 127?

[1:27:05] I thought

[1:27:06] >> Yeah.

[1:27:06] >> And to be clear, I would keep doing the

[1:27:08] work whether you give me more money or

[1:27:09] not. So [laughter]

[1:27:11] >> Oh well, there you go. You just lost.

[1:27:13] >> I'd like to pay my staff I'd like to pay

[1:27:15] my staff a little more money. Lisa and

[1:27:17] uh Caitlyn and Alicia are the best. I

[1:27:20] mean, just the best.

[1:27:23] Any other questions?

[1:27:24] >> No questions.

[1:27:26] >> I think have you on board?

[1:27:28] >> Yeah, appreciate you. Thank you.

[1:27:31] >> I did just have one comment uh for

[1:27:33] council. Um I think that we have a very

[1:27:36] competitive uh offer here. I think that

[1:27:38] it's great to continue on. uh you know,

[1:27:41] our counselor has been great to work

[1:27:43] with and I do think that it is uh

[1:27:48] a good idea that we look at doing an RFP

[1:27:50] of some sort uh in the near future for

[1:27:52] legal services just because I haven't

[1:27:55] seen that come through council in a long

[1:27:56] time. Uh I think that that's needs to be

[1:27:59] normalized uh to go through an RFP

[1:28:02] process, you know, every 5 years or so

[1:28:04] for all of our services. I think that

[1:28:06] legal council should be included in

[1:28:08] that. Uh by no reflection of our current

[1:28:10] counselor, uh you know, I think that uh

[1:28:13] our current counselor is great, but I

[1:28:14] think just for the the sake of it, um

[1:28:16] make sure that we are dotting all of our

[1:28:18] eyes, crossing our tees, and uh doing

[1:28:20] what's best for the citizens uh to do an

[1:28:22] RFP sometime soon. That being said, I

[1:28:24] don't think this that should hold up our

[1:28:25] vote tonight on these increases. I think

[1:28:28] this is still very competitive.

[1:28:30] >> It's very competitive. And if you do

[1:28:32] look at the CIA budget and what was just

[1:28:34] written this summer about what's going

[1:28:36] on down there, it's unbelievable.

[1:28:38] >> Double.

[1:28:38] >> It's double.

[1:28:39] >> More than double. More than double as

[1:28:42] far as costs. Annual costs are almost

[1:28:44] triple, I think.

[1:28:46] >> Anyway, good good point, Max.

[1:28:48] >> With respect to RFP, we there's a number

[1:28:50] of services we're doing. Banking RFPs,

[1:28:54] audit service RFPs. Currently we've

[1:28:56] identified insurance um which is kind of

[1:28:59] a big ticket item uh that in the near

[1:29:03] future something we need to do our piece

[1:29:05] for beam.

[1:29:07] >> Yep.

[1:29:09] >> Anything else?

[1:29:11] >> No.

[1:29:12] >> Motion to remove second reading by title

[1:30:11] >> Thank you.

[1:30:12] >> Item 15, miscellaneous matters from the

[1:30:15] mayor andor city council.

[1:30:19] I did want to uh mention uh just to the

[1:30:22] council that I have stepped down off the

[1:30:24] main street board. Um it has been my own

[1:30:26] decision. I've was not coerced or

[1:30:29] anything like that, but have truly

[1:30:30] enjoyed my time on the main street

[1:30:32] board. I feel that it's uh best for me

[1:30:34] to uh to move on. I've been with them

[1:30:36] for about 5 years now and want to

[1:30:38] dedicate my full efforts towards the

[1:30:40] city council and the citizens that voted

[1:30:41] for me to be here.

[1:30:43] >> Thanks.

[1:30:44] for your service with that

[1:30:45] organization. great organizations.

[1:30:48] >> Uh

[1:30:48] >> just a quick question, sorry about when

[1:30:51] the community application, the community

[1:30:53] funding application

[1:30:55] um is on the web page.

[1:30:59] Just would like to make it a fairly

[1:31:01] obvious place. I think right now it's

[1:31:03] not super easy to know where to find

[1:31:05] that Stevenson fund request for a

[1:31:08] donation. Um,

[1:31:11] one place I think it makes sense to do

[1:31:13] is put it under the how do I list. Um,

[1:31:16] but there may be other places it would

[1:31:18] make sense to link it as well. Places

[1:31:20] that people would might naturally think

[1:31:23] to ask to look for some sort of funding

[1:31:26] like on the the finance page. Even

[1:31:28] though that's not where it it's coming

[1:31:31] from, I just like like it to be thought

[1:31:34] about and discussed about how to make it

[1:31:36] as clear as possible for folks to find

[1:31:38] that.

[1:31:42] And is this our last meeting with the

[1:31:44] Star Journal reporter that we have in

[1:31:46] place?

[1:31:47] >> What?

[1:31:48] >> Yeah.

[1:31:50] >> You have

[1:31:52] done a great job. We we've enjoyed you

[1:31:54] throwing yourself into the community,

[1:31:56] being so active and living up our

[1:31:59] meetings. Um and and you've you've done

[1:32:01] a great job covering everything in

[1:32:02] Warrenburg. So we appreciate your good

[1:32:04] work.

[1:32:06] >> So thank you to everyone.

[1:32:07] >> We hope you're staying around. Thanks.

[1:32:09] Fingers crossed.

[1:32:10] >> Okay. All right.

[1:32:11] >> Thank you.

[1:32:12] Anything else?

[1:32:16] City staff update. City manager.

[1:32:19] >> We're doing cranking out quite a bit of

[1:32:21] work product, but I don't

[1:32:24] >> I assume J will talk to you about the uh

[1:32:27] the alternate meeting date.

[1:32:31] Happy to answer any questions.

[1:32:36] » Okay. administrative services.

[1:32:40] >> We've been working on a lot of budget if

[1:32:41] you can believe it.

[1:32:44] Who

[1:32:44] >> would have thought that

[1:32:46] training

[1:32:49] session so excited about that resource

[1:32:51] for employees.

[1:32:53] >> Thank you. Thanks for your hard work

[1:32:55] everybody. Finance and

[1:32:57] >> appreciate it. City clerk.

[1:33:00] >> Um just a thank you mayor and city

[1:33:02] council. Just a reminder, our next

[1:33:04] regular meeting will be on a Wednesday,

[1:33:07] September 9th, uh, due to the conflict

[1:33:09] with MML. So,

[1:33:12] >> Missouri Municipal League annual

[1:33:14] conference.

[1:33:14] >> Missouri Municipal League annual

[1:33:15] conference. Thank you.

[1:33:16] >> For anybody listening, thank you.

[1:33:18] >> Isn't that conference after the 9th?

[1:33:23] >> So, it so the first the second meeting,

[1:33:27] the second Monday of every month we

[1:33:29] meet. That's in conflict. We will not be

[1:33:32] here for that. So,

[1:33:33] >> so we're moving it forward.

[1:33:35] >> We moved it forward.

[1:33:36] >> Gotcha. Okay.

[1:33:36] >> All right. I'm with you now.

[1:33:38] >> Okay. Thank you.

[1:33:40] >> Anything else?

[1:33:41] >> I don't have anything else. Thank you.

[1:33:42] >> Community development.

[1:33:45] >> I just have one item. Um Cole let me

[1:33:47] know from Solid Waste last week that um

[1:33:51] on August 7th, 10th, and 11th,

[1:33:55] three days, three service days in a row.

[1:33:57] It was a Friday, Monday, Tuesday. We had

[1:33:59] zero missed pickups reported for three

[1:34:01] days in a row, which earns from George.

[1:34:05] Uh he treated the staff to a turkey

[1:34:08] sandwich lunch last week.

[1:34:13] » Three strikes and then a turkey.

[1:34:15] [laughter]

[1:34:16] >> So George turkey sandwiches.

[1:34:19] >> That's great.

[1:34:20] >> And Paul, which is our local foreman. Um

[1:34:23] he has been working for that for 18

[1:34:25] months. So he was pretty excited they

[1:34:26] got it.

[1:34:27] >> That's great.

[1:34:28] >> Thank you for connecting with Scott. I

[1:34:29] didn't I didn't

[1:34:32] have to tell me that. Anything

[1:34:36] else?

[1:34:37] >> All right. Thank you. Fire department.

[1:34:38] Chief.

[1:34:41] » Parks department.

[1:34:43] >> Thank you.

[1:34:44] >> Oh, go ahead.

[1:34:47] >> Police department.

[1:34:53] » Evening, mayor, council. Um, we've been

[1:34:55] pretty busy at the police department. Uh

[1:34:57] we had uh the possible arson down down

[1:35:02] south off DD. Um investigators took

[1:35:06] that, ran with it and was able to get an

[1:35:08] individual in custody on harassments and

[1:35:11] threats charges. Um that individual was

[1:35:14] back in St. Louis. It was great

[1:35:16] investigative work and got him in

[1:35:18] custody and transport back here to

[1:35:19] Johnson County. Um putting together the

[1:35:23] arson part of the case and uh working

[1:35:25] through that. So then we also had two

[1:35:29] individuals uh taking counterfeit bills

[1:35:32] all over town and uh working that side

[1:35:36] of it. One of our sergeants and our new

[1:35:37] officer from KC who didn't get to work

[1:35:40] cases from start to finish up there. Um

[1:35:43] was actually uh working that case and

[1:35:45] they identified an individual with old

[1:35:49] school police work without flocks help.

[1:35:52] We uh we were able to identify the

[1:35:54] individual through some camera systems

[1:35:56] and then working through uh one of the

[1:35:59] dispensaries. Um got some good photos

[1:36:02] there and we did a search warrant down

[1:36:04] south of town and took them into custody

[1:36:07] and located a printer and paper they

[1:36:10] were printing it on. So that was

[1:36:12] fantastic work from the patrol side all

[1:36:14] the way through the investigative side.

[1:36:16] And then we have three investigators up

[1:36:18] working the homicide double homicide up

[1:36:21] in Carol County. Right. So, that's all

[1:36:23] we have.

[1:36:24] >> Thanks.

[1:36:25] >> $100 bills.

[1:36:27] >> I saw the bills. I felt the bills, but I

[1:36:29] can't tell you the denominations at this

[1:36:31] time.

[1:36:31] >> Well, I need to know what not to take.

[1:36:34] [laughter]

[1:36:35] >> These were good. Uh they the sergeant

[1:36:38] actually brought them to me and showed

[1:36:39] them to me and I'm like, "Ah, them are

[1:36:41] good." The paper felt good. But I was

[1:36:42] able to identify some things on the

[1:36:44] outside border. But um yeah, I can't I

[1:36:48] can't tell you what to take and not to

[1:36:50] take.

[1:36:50] >> Okay. Sometimes the credit sometimes

[1:36:53] cashless.

[1:36:54] >> You'll be fine.

[1:36:55] >> Two party out of state counter check.

[1:36:59] >> Public works,

[1:37:02] » mayor, council members. So, uh, well, if

[1:37:06] you notice, we've got some mill or not

[1:37:08] mill, some overlay going on. College

[1:37:11] Street, Railroad Street. Uh, all was

[1:37:14] milled out already. Um, so that's going

[1:37:18] on. The sidewalk program has started on

[1:37:21] certain areas. I have to ask Jason

[1:37:24] exactly where. So, they're all over

[1:37:26] certain spots touching improvements that

[1:37:29] we are needed. The Enterprise lift

[1:37:32] station project has started.

[1:37:36] The phase two will bids opening on this

[1:37:40] Thursday. So, we'll find out how much

[1:37:42] that's going to run and then we'll turn

[1:37:44] around and get that back in front of

[1:37:46] you. I don't if it'll be back in front

[1:37:48] of the next meeting or the following

[1:37:49] meetings, but we'll get it back as soon

[1:37:51] as we can and hopefully get that project

[1:37:54] started in the spring due to the asphalt

[1:37:57] season we'll be closing out here in the

[1:37:59] near f near future. Uh the plant

[1:38:03] expansion's going well.

[1:38:06] We will have a change order coming in

[1:38:08] front of you hopefully next council

[1:38:10] meeting and we'll discuss that at that

[1:38:13] time. Uh Foxrun storm drain repair. We

[1:38:18] have that going on at this time. It's

[1:38:21] going well. Fire station two or fire

[1:38:24] station one bunk house. Uh it's feel

[1:38:28] like it's coming along well. There's

[1:38:30] lots of construction going on right

[1:38:31] here. And then of course you all just

[1:38:33] approved the fire station too. So thank

[1:38:35] you very much Austin. Any for any

[1:38:37] questions?

[1:38:38] >> Um I wanted to see the lift stations.

[1:38:42] You put a picture of all the the blue

[1:38:44] pipes that you're putting in the ground.

[1:38:46] And so I drove out to K Hill. All I saw

[1:38:49] was a bean field. So I need to go

[1:38:52] further north.

[1:38:54] >> What What road do I have to go on to see

[1:38:56] all the equipment?

[1:38:57] >> One. Well, so if you go into

[1:39:02] Stony Brook Court or drive, you went to

[1:39:06] Stony Brook. If you go into Cahill and

[1:39:08] you go into the first right, if you're

[1:39:11] heading east and then down and then hit

[1:39:14] the Stony Brook, you'll head back to the

[1:39:17] west and look south, you'll see all the

[1:39:22] construction. Uh don't believe a lot of

[1:39:25] the pipe is there yet. Oh,

[1:39:27] >> it's being delivered where right now

[1:39:30] they were just clearing and getting

[1:39:32] prepped for the pipe to show up so they

[1:39:34] can dig and bury.

[1:39:36] >> And that's city property that that is

[1:39:38] going on.

[1:39:39] >> So city's easement.

[1:39:42] >> Yes, it's uh Roger Baldwin and

[1:39:46] >> farm

[1:39:47] >> property, but we have an easement on

[1:39:49] that land for the sewer main.

[1:39:52] >> Okay. So the Stony Brook Drive in the

[1:39:56] southwest corner of the Kill

[1:39:58] subdivision.

[1:39:59] >> Okay. All right. Thank you. I think I

[1:40:02] kind of know what Yeah, I know where

[1:40:03] that would be. All right.

[1:40:05] >> Don't want to leave you hanging on the

[1:40:06] change order on the sewer plan. So

[1:40:09] clearing and completion of the project

[1:40:12] numbers are getting finalized. There's

[1:40:14] enough project savings that we're

[1:40:16] bringing back a scope of expansion.

[1:40:19] So it's addition of work that we

[1:40:21] initially didn't think we'd give it all

[1:40:22] forward.

[1:40:25] >> Now that we
