[2:25] I'll see you.
[3:36] All
[3:58] right, welcome. It is 5:00 on Tuesday,
[4:01] January 20th, 2026. This is a regular
[4:03] meeting of the city council of the city
[4:05] of Cape Gerardo. Thank you all for being
[4:07] here. We will begin tonight's meeting as
[4:10] always with the invocation tonight uh
[4:12] that is by the Reverend Geneva Allen
[4:14] Patterson of St. James Church here in
[4:17] Cape Gerardo. And we will follow that
[4:19] with the pledge of allegiance. So if you
[4:21] all can please rise and join us.
[4:24] » I thank and praise God for this
[4:26] opportunity. when the Reverend Zack
[4:28] Strong was supposed to do it tonight, I
[4:31] said evidently, I don't know because of
[4:33] MLK or what that [laughter] he could not
[4:36] be here and asked them to contact me to
[4:39] see if I would pray tonight. So, this is
[4:41] the honor. I thank God for this honor to
[4:43] be here to do this tonight. Let us bow
[4:46] our heads.
[4:48] God of our weary years,
[4:51] God of our silent tears,
[4:54] God who has brought us thus far on our
[4:58] way.
[5:00] God, you're the God who planted in the
[5:03] late Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
[5:07] and hopefully you have planted this in
[5:09] each of us tonight that injustice
[5:12] anywhere is a threat to justice
[5:15] everywhere, Lord. So we come tonight
[5:18] with gratitude
[5:20] for you being a God of love,
[5:24] a love that is with us even in this very
[5:27] room tonight. Lord, we thank you for the
[5:31] recognition events in Cape Gerata and
[5:35] even closing the doors of some of the
[5:37] departments of the city so that we could
[5:39] honor the drum major of justice,
[5:44] Martin Luther King, Jr.
[5:47] We thank you tonight, Lord, for these
[5:50] your servants. Our mayor, our city
[5:54] manager, the city council elected
[5:57] members, uh the city employees, the
[6:00] staff who are here in all capacities,
[6:03] and then the citizens like myself who
[6:07] are here, and even the media, our KFVS
[6:11] staff and all who are here tonight. We
[6:13] thank you that we are all here for the
[6:17] good Lord of our community of Cape
[6:20] Gerard, Missouri.
[6:22] So as we gather tonight, may we reflect
[6:25] your justice, Lord, your love, and your
[6:29] mercy in this meeting. from the time of
[6:32] what we're doing now in this invocation
[6:34] to you even as we do the pledge of
[6:37] allegiance as we embrace the emergency
[6:42] operations director's presentation that
[6:45] will be tonight Lord as we listen to any
[6:49] advisory applicants that will be
[6:51] appearing tonight as we listen to
[6:53] reports Lord even as the roll call is
[6:57] conducted and the asent consent agenda
[7:00] is presented, dear Lord. And as the
[7:04] bills come forth, especially the one
[7:06] discussing and appropriating the funds
[7:09] for our fire department, dear Lord, and
[7:13] even as we all
[7:15] have the happiest moment probably here
[7:18] as we have the motion for adjournment.
[7:22] So Lord, as we roll into this meeting
[7:24] tonight, bind us together, Lord. Bind us
[7:28] together, Lord. bind us together. We
[7:32] citizens of Cape Gerard, bind us
[7:34] together in love. And we all said,
[7:38] » "Amen."
[7:43] » To the flag of the United States of
[7:45] America and to the stands, one nation,
[7:51] indivisible,
[7:53] and justice [groaning] for all.
[7:59] Thank you, Reverend.
[8:03] So, we will begin tonight with a uh in
[8:06] our study session. Um, and we do have an
[8:10] item um to discuss during that session.
[8:13] It is uh regarding the joint emergency
[8:15] operations center and we have uh Sam H.
[8:19] Hearnden here tonight from the Cape
[8:20] County Emergency uh management center.
[8:23] He's the director. Thank you for being
[8:24] here, Mr. H. Hearnden. Uh thank you for
[8:26] having me this evening. Um what we have
[8:29] proposed and been working on for the
[8:30] last 6 months uh is a joint memorandum
[8:33] of understanding for uh the city of Cape
[8:36] City of Jackson Simo University in Cape
[8:38] Troto County to unify um their emergency
[8:42] operations centers in the event of a
[8:44] disaster uh or major event so that we uh
[8:48] can better serve the citizens of each
[8:50] community uh and the county as a whole.
[8:52] Um when we started working on this, we
[8:55] had found that we were very deficient um
[8:57] if we stood alone. Um but if we all
[8:59] worked together, uh we would be able to
[9:02] uh serve this community a lot better. Um
[9:04] it would give uh the cities
[9:07] opportunities to continue operating um
[9:09] with all of their staff as well as the
[9:12] county instead of each uh entity tying
[9:15] up their own staff with that disaster
[9:16] and not being able to continue with
[9:18] daily government operations. Um, this
[9:21] will also allow uh public service uh as
[9:24] far as police departments, fire
[9:25] departments to keep as much of their
[9:27] staff um working uh on the disaster or
[9:31] back to daily operations without tying
[9:33] up uh a lot of their staff in their
[9:35] operation centers. Uh in thisou
[9:39] um it it addresses um how we activate
[9:42] the operation centers. Um we have it
[9:45] broke down into four levels uh which was
[9:48] agreed upon by uh all of the the four
[9:51] emergency management directors um for
[9:53] SEMA University, Cape County, uh the
[9:56] city of Cape and the city of Jackson. Um
[9:59] it also addresses where that operation
[10:01] center will be. Uh currently the primary
[10:03] operations center will be the new county
[10:05] emergency operations center with our
[10:07] secondary um being the one uh at Cape
[10:11] Fire Station 3 uh in case um one was
[10:14] damaged, we do have a backup plan there
[10:16] as well. And it's also gives us the
[10:19] opportunity to share our personnel. Um
[10:21] something we found we were very
[10:22] deficient is is is if one entity tried
[10:25] to run an operation center on their own
[10:27] for a large period, we couldn't do it.
[10:29] We couldn't staff our own. um if we had
[10:32] to go more than probably 12 to 14 hours,
[10:35] um staff would get fatigued, uh need to
[10:37] go home, uh things like that. But if we
[10:39] can share our resources, we can continue
[10:42] those operational periods and allow
[10:43] people to go home, tend to their
[10:45] families, um get rest, uh tend to their
[10:48] normal daily duties as well. Um so that
[10:52] was the big driving force uh was giving
[10:54] us the opportunity to continue um
[10:57] operational periods without having to um
[11:00] keep people working uh 24 48 hour
[11:03] stretches uh if need be depending on the
[11:05] disaster. Um it also outlines in here um
[11:09] required trainings to make sure that all
[11:11] personnel working in the operation
[11:13] center um at least have minimum training
[11:16] to understand what they're doing to
[11:18] better support um those folks that are
[11:20] out doing search and rescue um helping
[11:23] out in the community um during a
[11:25] disaster. So it it it helps us make sure
[11:28] that we have trained people um to better
[11:30] serve those that are helping out in our
[11:33] community. Uh it also puts in here um
[11:36] who's required to open the EOC uh and
[11:40] then the chain of command of events uh
[11:42] in a disaster to make sure that all
[11:45] community uh members are taken care of.
[11:48] Um Chief Morris did an excellent job
[11:50] helping out um with getting this put
[11:53] together, making sure the language uh
[11:55] supported what was best for the citizens
[11:57] of Cape uh as well as the citizens uh of
[12:00] the rest of the county. Um, so, uh,
[12:03] kudos to him for his his work and in
[12:05] helping get this put together to make
[12:07] sure, uh, we were doing things
[12:08] correctly, uh, to benefit everyone. Um,
[12:12] as far as the other agencies, this has
[12:14] already been approved by uh, Cape
[12:16] County, uh, the city of Jackson and Simo
[12:19] University. So, you're our last stop uh,
[12:21] in getting this uh,ou put in place. So,
[12:24] is there any questions or comments?
[12:28] » Yeah, I'll start. Can you just um line
[12:31] out a little bit the process, how long
[12:33] you guys have been working on this and
[12:34] and um Sure. Obviously
[12:36] » Uh so we started on this uh shortly
[12:38] after
[12:40] um the Delta tornado back on in April of
[12:43] last year. Um we had started kind of
[12:46] discussing it beforehand, but nothing
[12:48] formally was put together. When the
[12:50] Delta tornado hit, uh we had several
[12:52] folks uh from from different agencies,
[12:55] some from City of Cape, some from the
[12:56] county, and some from the city of
[12:58] Jackson. uh at the operation center. Um
[13:02] we were able to help each other with
[13:04] resources uh to kind of help that
[13:06] response down in Delta and uh watch out
[13:08] for the citizens of Cape when that
[13:10] looked like it was going to come through
[13:11] the city of Cape. Uh and at that time we
[13:14] kind of made the decision that we
[13:15] couldn't handle it alone. Uh we needed
[13:17] each other cuz if it would have hit the
[13:19] city of Cape, nobody would have had the
[13:21] resources to stand on their own uh to
[13:23] help the citizens. So, uh, we started
[13:25] putting it together then, um, started
[13:27] putting things in writing over the
[13:29] summer. Um, and we've we've put through
[13:31] a few drafts to make sure that all the
[13:33] language was correct, sent it to, uh,
[13:35] all the entities to make sure that their
[13:37] legal staff could look at it, um, to get
[13:39] the document we have now.
[13:41] » And you, just a quick followup, um, you
[13:43] kind of touched on it. I was just going
[13:45] to ask regarding last spring and and the
[13:48] Delta tornado and um if if this had been
[13:51] in place then, how might things um have
[13:54] looked differently?
[13:56] » Uh we would have been able to get
[13:57] resources here quicker. Um especially if
[13:59] we need to bring in state resources that
[14:01] would all come through my office. uh and
[14:03] instead of having uh the city of Cape
[14:06] looking for their resources, city of
[14:07] Jackson, each entity looking on their
[14:09] own, we would all be in the same room
[14:10] making the same decisions on what we
[14:12] need to bring in so we can get resources
[14:14] here quicker. Uh we would be able to
[14:16] communicate with the unified command out
[14:18] in the field uh to make sure we were
[14:20] helping them and supporting them in
[14:22] anything that they needed. uh and it
[14:24] would have helped us um putting together
[14:26] better donations management, volunteer
[14:28] management to get help and donations to
[14:30] the citizens that need them quicker. Uh
[14:33] instead of all that just kind of going
[14:34] wherever uh and having mixed messaging
[14:37] on how to get the help that they need,
[14:38] we'd be able to get that one unified
[14:40] message uh out to everyone.
[14:42] » Okay.
[14:44] » Yes. Mr. uh Mr. Mr. H. Hearnden is would
[14:48] would this EOC be similar to like the
[14:51] jock or the SEMA that's set up like an
[14:53] at Skeleton, the National Guard, how
[14:55] they have essential elements um for when
[14:59] you know let's say the new mattered
[15:02] NMSSC hit. So they would obviously we
[15:05] would be beyond our local capabilities
[15:08] and and SEMA or guard would have to come
[15:11] in. Would it be something that they
[15:13] could just uh fill into have the same
[15:16] kind of template that they have there?
[15:17] Sure. So, uh in the document it outlines
[15:20] that all entities in the county need to
[15:22] operate under emergency support
[15:23] functions model which is the same as the
[15:26] state um at our operation center. The
[15:28] state does have a table there. So, in
[15:30] the event we have a disaster and we need
[15:32] them, they've already got a seat at the
[15:34] table. They've got a phone line
[15:35] dedicated to them to where they can go
[15:37] ahead and help us secure resources
[15:39] quicker. Um, and we'll still have to
[15:41] input it through our processes online,
[15:43] but it will give us opportunities to get
[15:44] them in faster and get resources here,
[15:47] uh, and give them a seat at the table to
[15:48] help make decisions.
[15:49] » Fantastic. One other, and that is, are
[15:51] you familiar with the Southeast
[15:52] Healthcare Coalition? Yes. What we do
[15:54] here? Okay. So, they'll they'll be able
[15:57] to
[15:57] » Correct. So, they have seat they have a
[15:59] seat at the table as well. So, they're
[16:01] uh in our mass care function. Uh,
[16:03] they're one of the pieces that we bring
[16:04] in to help us in the mass care and
[16:07] public health uh both.
[16:09] Thank you. Yes.
[16:13] » Any other questions,
[16:15] council?
[16:15] » So, you you'd mentioned required
[16:17] trainings for the staff, correct? Yes.
[16:19] Yes.
[16:19] » So, where are we at on that? And and
[16:22] what's that look like moving?
[16:23] » So, so how that works uh is we put
[16:25] together um shortly a uh after
[16:28] Christmas, we sent out to the uh other
[16:30] EMDs and agreed upon um the required
[16:32] trainings in that timeline. So we've
[16:36] uh of benchmarks that we want to see and
[16:38] it will be up to um the emergency
[16:41] management director over that entity. Um
[16:43] so Chief Morris would be the one to make
[16:45] sure that the correct people for the
[16:47] city of Cape um get the training that
[16:49] they need uh and help uh communicate
[16:52] that back to us and then when we start
[16:53] doing joint trainings um later on this
[16:55] year making sure the right people are
[16:57] invited uh that need to come into those.
[16:59] » Okay. Thank you.
[17:02] You know, I'll just I'll just say um
[17:04] having been on the city council, I have
[17:07] [snorts] learned that there is a massive
[17:09] amount of training and preparation that
[17:12] goes on for emergency management
[17:15] involving
[17:17] dozens and dozens of different
[17:19] organizations, right? Um and this is
[17:21] this is primarily just um more of a
[17:25] helping with the organization, right?
[17:27] Correct. In the midst of
[17:29] » Correct. It's helping us make sure that
[17:30] we're providing the best service for the
[17:32] communities. Um, instead of each entity
[17:35] operating in its own silo trying to get
[17:37] resources and fighting against each
[17:38] other, now we're all working together
[17:40] for the same common goal. Uh, it also
[17:43] allows us to share personnel. So, if the
[17:45] city of Cape's public works director is
[17:48] there, for instance, they would be able
[17:49] to help us uh kind of manage public
[17:51] works for for other entities. so they
[17:53] could either get rest or uh make sure
[17:56] that their uh operations are working
[17:58] correctly before they come in and do a
[18:00] period. So it just allows us to share
[18:01] our resources and our personnel um to
[18:03] better serve the community.
[18:05] » Okay.
[18:06] » Y is the foot or the staff not the
[18:08] footprint the staff is it is it uh using
[18:11] staff that's already employed or is this
[18:14] new jobs and how big is that?
[18:16] » So this is all people that are already
[18:18] employed. Um so it would bring in people
[18:20] that that all these entities already
[18:21] employ. Uh some of them are volunteers,
[18:24] some of them are outside organizations,
[18:25] healthcare coalitions, uh public health,
[18:28] um Red Cross, they all have uh positions
[18:31] in those functions and they would all
[18:32] come in as well and we'd work together.
[18:34] » What's the frequency of your do you have
[18:36] like an annual big annual drill
[18:39] simulation
[18:40] uh that you put all these place all
[18:43] these uh seats at the table? Currently,
[18:46] not now, but with this new model that is
[18:48] slated for close to the end of the year
[18:50] uh in quarter 4, we'd like to get
[18:52] everybody together. Uh currently, we
[18:54] have each entity has been working on
[18:56] their own individually and bringing
[18:58] these people in and having different
[18:59] meetings and now we would just be able
[19:00] to have the one training and make sure
[19:02] everybody's working together.
[19:03] » So, is would the city manager and the
[19:05] mayor would they be part of that
[19:06] integration?
[19:07] » Uh yes. Yep. They'll be there.
[19:09] » Thank you.
[19:11] » Okay. Well, and I think the plan is at
[19:14] the our next meeting to to take this up
[19:16] and and have uh the the actual
[19:19] agreement, you know, to to verify and
[19:22] discuss. So, all right. Thank you very
[19:24] much. Appreciate the background.
[19:29] » All right. We don't have any uh
[19:30] presentations. Um council, any
[19:32] communications or reports?
[19:35] Yeah, I' I'd like to give a shout out um
[19:38] to the warming center at Grace United
[19:41] Methodist Church. Um it's volunteers
[19:45] from a number of different organizations
[19:47] have been manning that. We've had a lot
[19:49] of cold weather. We're going to have
[19:50] cold weather this week. Um they're
[19:53] serving anywhere from 20 to 25 people a
[19:56] night uh when it gets down and cold and
[19:59] they get a they get dinner and they get
[20:01] a breakfast and um Cape Gerardo is a
[20:06] caring community and uh I think that's
[20:10] that that shows it and I just applaud
[20:12] all their efforts.
[20:14] » So I just want to get that out there.
[20:15] » Yeah, thank you for mentioning that.
[20:18] that has been a topic that we've been
[20:20] talking about for several years and um a
[20:22] number of churches and and other
[20:24] nonprofit organizations are contributing
[20:26] to that and there's a lot of um good
[20:28] organization that's happening with
[20:29] volunteers and with donations and and
[20:31] all of that. So um
[20:34] » I'd like to uh I'd like to put Tamika on
[20:36] the spot here as a park and Rex liaison
[20:39] from the council. I get get to keep a
[20:42] pulse on what all they're doing. And at
[20:44] the last meeting, Porch Initiative
[20:47] presented the park and Rex department a
[20:49] $5,000 check. And Tamika has founded
[20:54] kind of the chairperson for that porch
[20:56] initiative. They've done a lot of
[20:57] amazing things. Would you tell everyone
[21:00] [laughter]
[21:01] where that money came from and and and
[21:04] why did you give it to Park and Rex?
[21:06] Oh
[21:09] um well thank you. Um
[21:13] uh the porch initiative uh focus is
[21:16] housing education and wellness. Um
[21:19] housing been our uh one of our biggest
[21:21] components. Um I would have to say 90%
[21:25] of our funding is private donors not
[21:29] public dollars but we are working on
[21:31] strategic partnerships to enhance and
[21:33] leverage that. Um, since my tenure, I
[21:37] think Dan asked me, I've been with Porch
[21:38] 5 years. Um, the first thing the city of
[21:42] Cape has done for us is help house us
[21:46] and have different community members
[21:48] come in and we've partnered to volunteer
[21:50] being involved in family activities, um,
[21:52] youth activities in the summer, and it's
[21:55] just been a great partnership that has
[21:57] expanded. And the Kate Parks and Wreck
[22:00] is bar none. they show up and bring a a
[22:04] army of people to help um and they uh
[22:08] supported us in many ways and we receive
[22:10] donations and we don't just help it out
[22:12] with housing, we help out in our
[22:15] community in general. So, we use those
[22:17] funds. We have done it maybe the last
[22:19] three or four years um to support uh the
[22:21] city of Cape Parks and Recck. So, thank
[22:23] you. Um um and I'm glad we've been able
[22:27] to do that. And so, um, I'm just happy
[22:29] to say that a lot of work we've done by
[22:32] people that have invested in our
[22:33] community, whether you donate $5 or
[22:36] $50,000, it pours back into the
[22:38] residential as well as the city of Cape.
[22:41] Um, getting families involved. And so,
[22:44] and Scott and Doug, I don't know if uh
[22:46] Scott is here, but Doug, he he leads
[22:49] that department, but he got a team of a
[22:51] great troopers. And I thank you for you
[22:53] and your department for working with us
[22:55] to leverage our resources. And thank
[22:57] you.
[22:58] » Thank you.
[23:01] » Okay. I was just going to mention um I
[23:03] got to I had the honor of attending uh
[23:06] the 41st annual Martin Luther King Jr.
[23:09] Memorial breakfast yesterday morning.
[23:11] There was also a very successful lunchon
[23:14] happening and uh many other activities
[23:17] going on for the uh the federal holiday.
[23:20] Um and uh Simo, I know tomorrow night,
[23:22] Wednesday night, is having their annual
[23:25] memorial dinner as well. And so, um,
[23:27] just wanted to thank everyone in the
[23:28] community who's been participating in

[26:58] funds for the purchase of fire
[26:59] apparatus. Bill 263, an ordinance
[27:02] appropriating funds for the purchase of
[27:03] a fire apparatus.
[27:05] » All right. I think that is the shortest

[27:23] » That agenda carries. Thank you. Nothing
[27:26] removed from the consent agenda tonight.
[27:28] We have several new ordinances tonight.
[27:31] As always, uh we'll have a staff person
[27:33] come up and and talk about the bill and
[27:36] then at that point, if there's anyone in
[27:37] the audience who wishes to comment or uh
[27:40] on the on the issue, you may do so then
[27:42] before the council takes it up. So,
[27:45] first we have bill 2604, an ordinance
[27:48] annexing land adjacent to the Cape
[27:50] Gerardo Regional Airport into the city
[27:52] limits of the city of Cape Gardo,
[27:53] Missouri. This the first reading, Mr.
[27:55] Shrimplin.
[28:00] And tonight's airport night.
[28:02] » Good evening.
[28:03] » Everything's Everything's airport
[28:04] tonight. So,
[28:05] » Yep. It's all airport.
[28:06] » Yep.
[28:07] » Uh, so the city recently acquired two
[28:09] tracks of land adjacent to one of the
[28:12] runways at the airport uh for the
[28:14] purpose of installing a perimeter
[28:16] security fence. Um, so at the last
[28:19] meeting, you had the public hearing on
[28:21] the annexation and zoning of of those
[28:23] tracks. And so tonight we have the
[28:25] ordinances. Uh this first one actually
[28:27] annexs those tracks into the city
[28:29] limits.
[28:30] » All right. Thank you. Anyone in the
[28:32] audience wishing to comment?
[28:35] All right. Seeing none, then council, is
[28:36] there a motion to approve bill 2604?
[28:38] » So moved.
[28:39] » Second.
[28:40] » Any Okay. Discussion.
[28:43] All right. Hearing none, then uh all in
[28:45] favor of bill 2604, please say I.
[28:47] » I.
[28:48] » Anyone opposed? That motion carries.
[28:50] Thanks. Bill 2605 is an ordinance
[28:53] amending chapter 30 of the code of
[28:55] ordinances of the city of Cape Gardo,
[28:56] Missouri by zoning newly annexed
[28:58] property adjacent to the Cape Gardo
[29:00] Regional Airport as A1 airport District.
[29:03] This is the first reading, Mr.
[29:05] Shrimplin.
[29:06] » Uh, and this ordinance assigns a zoning
[29:08] district to the property since it's
[29:10] coming into the city. Uh, the A1 airport
[29:12] district is the district for the
[29:14] airport. So,
[29:16] » Okay.
[29:16] » Anyone
[29:18] have a comment there?
[29:20] » All right. Hearing none, council, is

[29:40] the city limits of the city of Cape
[29:41] Toronto, Missouri. It's the first
[29:42] reading.
[29:43] » So when we annex land, we also have to
[29:45] put it within a city ward. And so this
[29:47] area is w 2. So this would be brought
[29:50] into word two.
[29:51] » Okay.
[29:53] » Not yet. We haven't voted. Uh anyone in
[29:56] the audience wishing to comment?
[29:59] » All right. Then council, is there a
[30:00] motion to approve bill 2606?

[30:21] to execute a grant agreement with the
[30:23] Missouri Highways and Transportation
[30:25] Commission to fund air service promotion
[30:27] and marketing at the Cape Gerardo
[30:29] Regional Airport. This is the first

[30:46] everyone. Um so it's this year it's for
[30:49] 121,000 and the city coverage is 13,000
[30:53] uh what is it? $13,400%.
[30:57] » Yeah, it's basically 10% of 131 the way
[31:00] they work it out, but 121 is what we can
[31:02] get from MODOK for this for an annual
[31:04] grant.
