[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.
[1:15] >> I just want you to know that that's
[1:16] what's
[1:21] » currently in place is
[1:25] >> passage.
[1:26] >> Yeah. Unless

[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
[2:02] green, blue, and yellow. I'm going to

[2:44] questions, you can ask Jody or myself.
[2:45] But anyway, that's why there's three
[2:47] colors back there in agenda. So, thank
[2:49] you for doing that. And with that, we

[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

[16:36] on the budget

[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
[57:05] reassessment of the property that
[57:06] already exist.

[59:52] 2026 2027 school year presented by Andy
[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

[1:00:43] but uh pretty well basic as the years

[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.

[1:08:08] contract with Tenok Construction. Is
[1:08:11] that how you pronounce it?
[1:08:12] >> Yes.
[1:08:12] >> Great. Uh for the Author Park Century
[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.
[1:39:41] >> City's ement.
[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
[1:40:26] >> we're excited
[1:40:27] >> got through the project enough to be
[1:40:29] complimented of the numbers

[1:40:32] >> additional expansion or is a
[1:40:34] >> uh so it's addition additional equipment
[1:40:39] improvement.

[1:40:44] we have four blowers per location and
[1:40:47] three of them are standardized and one
[1:40:48] was left the old uh equipment and
[1:40:51] technology and this opportunity to
