[3:38]
Hello, my name is Valeria Figueroa. Um,
my address is 3597 West Fountain Road
[3:44]
and I'm speaking regarding a donation
for the community center mural. I'm with
[3:51]
the Leo Club here in CJ, which is under
the Lions Club and we voted to use some
[3:55]
of our funds that we've raised from
various volunteer activities to donate
[4:02]
$100 towards the mural.
Okay. Thank you very much. We appreciate
[4:08]
it. Yeah.
[4:13]
» Yeah.
>> Thank you.
[4:17]
» Thank you very much.
>> Uh, anybody else like to speak at public
[4:23]
forum?
[4:26]
» Uh, okay. That'll be last call for
public forum.
[4:31]
Uh,
>> mayor.
[4:33]
» Yes. May I interject that typically when
a gift is offered to the city,
[4:41]
the city needs to act to either accept
or not accept
[4:46]
and I think a motion by the board to
accept it or not.
[4:52]
» Okay. by vote would be the appropriate
>> we we have a check here for the city of
[5:00]
Carl Junction and this is from the Carl
Junction Leo Club. Correct
[5:07]
in the amount of $100. I'd entertain a
motion. Make a motion that we accept the
[5:13]
gift.
>> Second. Okay. So, we have a motion by
[5:18]
David and a second by Walter to accept
the very generous gift of $100 for City
[5:25]
of Carl Junction for the mural. Is that
>> you need a vote?
[5:30]
» Okay. Uh, could I get a vote of the
board of alderman to accept this check?
[5:36]
A donation
>> vote.
[5:38]
» Yes. Uh, right hand, please. I'm sorry.
>> Six affirmative. Looks like we have six
[5:43]
in the affirmative to accept the gift.
And thank you very much for putting that
[5:49]
together. I'll uh lay this check here
and give it to
[5:54]
Elena afterwards.
Okay. Uh if nobody else has anything
[6:01]
they'd like to say uh in public forum,
we'll uh move on to the uh planning and
[6:08]
zoning cases number 26-07,
which is a preliminary plat for
[6:15]
wildflower estates by Nick and Tiffany
Graten.
[6:21]
» Yes.
[6:25]
» Okay.
[6:29]
uh planning and zoning met on this last
week and uh they are recommending
[6:35]
approval.
>> Okay. If any of the aldermen have
[6:40]
questions, now would be the time to ask
the
[6:42]
» Hey, do you mind to give us a quick
rundown of your project?
[6:45]
» Um sure. Yeah, it's uh 32 lots running
along Ivy and Rooney. Um
[6:53]
you know, just plan to build single
family homes through there. nice homes
[6:58]
» and yeah, I mean it's pretty much it.
>> And you've had engineering done?
[7:04]
» Yeah, engineering was done by Jason
Ehart from Xanavan. Uh all the plats and
[7:09]
stuff were drawn up by Stuart Nie.
>> Okay. Anybody else have any questions?
[7:14]
» I like the name.
>> Thank you. Yeah.
[7:18]
» Yeah. Somebody told me not to name it.
Something that we don't have in the
[7:20]
area, right? So like you hear like
Alpine and Rocky Mountain and it's like,
[7:24]
you know, that's not where we're from.
So yeah,
[7:28]
» how soon will you get to start working
on these?
[7:30]
» Uh hopefully very soon. Hopefully soon.
More than ready to start. Yes.
[7:35]
» If the weather will cooperate,
>> I think we missed the rainy season. So
[7:41]
late summer, early fall, things will be
good and dry out and should be able to
[7:45]
get a lot done quickly. So yeah, that's
the hope.
[7:49]
» Okay. Uh if any nobody else has any
questions, I'd uh
[7:54]
entertain a motion to approve.
>> Uh is this just
[8:07]
» Do we need a motion?
>> I think we need a Yeah, I think we need
[8:10]
a motion to approve.
>> That makes a motion to approve.
[8:15]
» Second. Second.
>> Okay, so we've got a motion by Walter
[8:20]
and a second by Carol. Would uh
everybody
[8:24]
uh approve by right hand if you're if
you approve? So it looks like we've got
[8:30]
six in the affirmative and none in the
uh negative.
[8:37]
» Anything else we need to discuss with
that?
[8:40]
» Steve, do you have anything else?
>> No, sir.
[8:43]
» Okay, I think we're good, man.
>> Awesome. I'll see you guys
[8:47]
» in a week or two.
>> Hey, we'll be looking forward to it.
[8:52]
» Thank you.
Uh, next we have uh appointment of
[8:57]
Travis True Love as a new police
officer. Chief McColl, do you want to
[9:02]
talk to us about this?
[9:06]
» Uh, Travis currently lives inside the
city limits, so that's a bonus. uh
[9:11]
currently working for the Oklahoma
probation and parole down in Miami. Uh
[9:15]
while he was working for probation and
parole, he went and got his
[9:19]
certification in law enforcement for
Oklahoma. Uh but he knew he wanted to
[9:24]
work here in the city of Carl Junction
since this is where he lived. Uh so when
[9:28]
he applied, we had to bombard him with
emails getting him to uh he had to take
[9:33]
the postcertification through Missouri.
Uh since he already had the hours
[9:36]
through Oklahoma, he could just test out
instead of going to the academy. Uh but
[9:40]
anyway, we've done his background.
Sergeant Dicki did his background. Uh
[9:44]
comes with high recommendations. So I
just uh would appreciate the
[9:48]
appointment.
>> Okay. Uh I'd like to appoint Travis as a
[9:56]
police officer on the Carl Junction
Police Department.
[9:59]
» I make a motion that we appoint Travis
Prulo as recommended by the mayor.
[10:04]
» Second.
>> So we've got a motion by David and a
[10:07]
second by Roger. Would everybody uh that
approves of this raise your right hand,
[10:12]
please?
So, we've got six in the affirmative and
[10:16]
uh
>> two absent.
[10:18]
» Two absent.
>> Thank you, guys.
[10:21]
» Hey, thank you, Travis. Welcome. Welcome
to Carl Junction. We look forward to
[10:25]
having here.
[10:31]
» I, Travis Trulive, do solemnly swear
that I possess all the qualification for
[10:35]
the position of a police officer as
prescribed by law. that will support the
[10:38]
Constitution of the United States and
the state of Missouri, the provisions of
[10:42]
all laws of this state affecting cities
of this class, and the ordinances of the
[10:46]
city of Carl Junction, and faithfully
demean myself in office. So help me God.
[10:58]
» Thank you.
>> Thank you. Hello.
[11:07]
» Uh, next on the agenda is reports.
First, this is a long-term project
[11:12]
report. Does anyone have any comments on
the long-term project report?
[11:20]
Uh, if not, we'll move on to the
treasures report. Does any
[11:24]
» Actually, I do have a question, Stephen.
>> Okay. the street projects. What's the
[11:28]
timeline for working on prioritizing
those and setting a schedule for
[11:34]
trying to get some of that work done
>> as soon as we can get the uh public
[11:41]
facilities committee together. Uh we can
start doing that. Uh Jay has uh already
[11:48]
started looking at overlay streets also.
So we'll combine that in with that. Any
[12:01]
other questions?
[12:07]
» If there's nothing else on that, we'll
move on to treasures report. Does anyone
[12:11]
have any uh comments on the treasures
report?
[12:20]
And if not, we'll uh move on to the
department reports.
[12:25]
police department. Does anyone have any
comments on the police department report
[12:32]
other than it was a lot of stuff going
on? Sounds like on the report
[12:36]
» a little bit.
>> Yeah.
[12:37]
» Storms and everything.
>> There is one thing to add to that. We
[12:42]
did have a line
storm siren on copper roads. Liberty has
[12:48]
come out, reattached it. We have not had
a chance to test it again. Since then,
[12:55]
I know we're supposed to get, you know,
been cloudy all day. We're getting
[12:58]
tested today, supposed to be tonight,
tomorrow. So, just everybody needs to
[13:03]
know. We'll put it out on Facebook also,
but everybody needs to be aware that has
[13:07]
not been tested since repair. So, they
need to have
[13:11]
notifications.
>> Okay. Thank you for that.
[13:15]
» Have a question.
>> Why did they s sound the sirens twice
[13:20]
the other night?
>> Do what? They sounded the sirens twice
[13:24]
the other night.
>> Yes. Um,
[13:28]
typically it hasn't come up before. We
haven't discussed it until I started
[13:32]
looking at doing the storm siren policy
because of the severe thunderstorm
[13:38]
warning possible tornado attack
and like Joplin their policy actually
[13:44]
says that the sirens will sound three
minutes and be off and sound again if
[13:50]
there is threat. I talked to some other
emergency management directors and
[13:55]
decided that we would leave that out. As
long as there was a threat, why are we
[14:00]
waiting three minutes to reset the
sirens? Somebody may have just stepped
[14:05]
outside and get the first.
[14:17]
» Is that tag supplied by the National
Weather Service? Is that who would put
[14:22]
that tag on the forecast?
>> Yeah. And it actually came from a month
[14:27]
and a half, couple of months ago. Uh was
the first time I'd seen it and they had
[14:32]
it out of Cherokee County or maybe Otto
County. It was Cherokee County. They
[14:37]
added the possible tornado tag to a
severe thunderstorm warning. Uh no
[14:42]
sirens were set off anywhere uh because
of that and a I think is an EF0 or EF1
[14:49]
touchdown and second ship at Echer. Uh
so that started a conversation of well
[14:55]
now that they're doing this then there's
obviously a threat. Uh you know it's a
[14:59]
step below thunderstorm or tornado
watcher warning but it's a step above
[15:04]
the severe thunderstorm warning and
obviously something can happen in that
[15:08]
time. So we decided to make the change.
Okay.
[15:13]
Does anybody else have any questions
they'd like?
[15:15]
» I got one real quick. With the
appointment of Officer True Love
[15:19]
tonight, where does that put us? Are we
still two?
[15:22]
» Okay.
>> And we're only two down because
[15:28]
May.
[15:31]
» Okay,
these are good questions.
[15:38]
If there's nothing else, we'll move on
to public works. Does anyone have any
[15:42]
comments on the public works report?
>> I'll say thank you for all the work
[15:48]
getting all the limbs and trees cleared
out for everybody. That's great.
[15:52]
» Thank you.
>> You going around all over town
[15:57]
» in our area too.
>> Thanks for opening the gate so early on
[16:02]
Sunday. That made a big difference.
>> Everybody appreciated it.
[16:14]
My kids went down Sunday morning and
there were like four or five in there at
[16:18]
that time and they said everybody just
stopped what they were doing, unloaded
[16:21]
one trailer, pulled it out of the way,
took another one in and the whole batch
[16:26]
stayed until everybody had their
trailers empty then they left.
[16:29]
» But they appreciated having them the
gates open.
[16:35]
Yeah, it was pretty wild. I was down
there. I was very impressed with uh the
[16:41]
way that that worked Sunday.
[16:47]
» Anybody have anything else?
>> I would like to say that we do
[16:51]
appreciate public works because of that
storm. We had several officers on. I was
[16:57]
able to tell them just drive around town
looking for trees in the road that were
[17:01]
blocking. We were in contact with public
works as soon as public was over and
[17:05]
they immediately came out and started
clearing roads every day.
[17:10]
» Yeah, it was it it was
quite a deal Sunday night or Saturday
[17:16]
night how that worked.
>> Yeah, I I know we had chainsaws running
[17:20]
out in my neighborhood even Saturday
night.
[17:29]
Hey, uh if nothing else, next on the
agenda is uh committee reports.
[17:36]
Uh so
I'll start with budget and finance.
[17:42]
Walter,
>> I don't have anything this even
[17:46]
» code nuisance. Carol
>> I'll let you explain
[17:52]
» what we're doing
>> Friday at 8:30 I believe it is
[17:56]
» should be online today
>> um we have training for anybody that
[18:02]
wants to be there with um general code
so what you guys budgeted for back in
[18:08]
May doing the recottification they have
finally finished going through all of
[18:13]
our current code and have the
recommendations now for us to look at
[18:18]
and start going through. Um there are
419 of them. So there's a lot we have to
[18:23]
get through and we have 100 business
days to get through it to stay on the
[18:27]
current schedule. Um so they're doing a
training just to go through show us, you
[18:33]
know, explain to us what the different
questions are. It will take multiple
[18:38]
people. Um Chief McCall has a sign on,
Jay has a sign on, Mr. Tally has a sign
[18:43]
on because some are police codes that
will have to go to the chief. Some will
[18:46]
need to go to Mr. Tally for attorney
input. Um we have training here and then
[18:52]
but it is a zoom call. So if you want to
attend the training to see what's going
[18:57]
on, let me know and I can send you an
invitation for it. If you want to come
[19:00]
here Friday and sit in the conference
room with me and Steve while we watch
[19:04]
it. Um you don't have to attend, but if
you want to see what's going on, you
[19:09]
can. It's from 8:30 to 9:30 on Friday
morning. Um, and I did ask because I was
[19:15]
sincerely afraid that we were going to
have to pass all sorts of ordinances to
[19:19]
update the code, but part of the
recodification is at the end of it, they
[19:23]
will give us an ordinance that will
allow you to completely readopt the new
[19:29]
and updated code. So, we can go through,
make whatever changes that we want to
[19:34]
make, and then adopt everything at one
time and be done.
[19:43]
That's all I have codes.
>> Okay.
[19:45]
» So, the goal is to have all those
resolved in the three months.
[19:50]
» We have to have everything resolved
within 100 business days.
[19:54]
» Oh, business days.
>> I haven't done the math to see where 100
[19:56]
business days puts us, but yes,
>> some of them are simple. Like the very
[20:00]
first one is they're just verifying that
the city seal hasn't changed, which it
[20:04]
hasn't. Um, one of the early ones is we
still have a part in the code that
[20:09]
references misdemeanors and it was
passed at some point that ordinances or
[20:13]
local cities can't have misdemeanor.
What we have are local ordinance
[20:16]
violations, but that was never updated
in our code. So, some of them are simple
[20:22]
like that and then some of them are more
complex.
[20:25]
» Okay.
>> Anybody else?
[20:31]
» Uh, next we'll move to human resources.
Nothing at this time, sir.
[20:35]
» Okay.
>> Public facilities and planning.
[20:39]
» Nothing this evening, sir.
>> Okay. Thank you. Uh, economic
[20:43]
development. Holly.
>> Yes. Uh, Steve and Tom and I had a
[20:48]
meeting with retail strategies today.
Um, Steve, can you go over what we
[20:58]
» uh Yeah, we had a we had a really good
meeting with them. Uh we actually took
[21:03]
them on a little bit of tour. Um they
looked at the 32 acres. Um they had a
[21:10]
drone with them, so they took some drone
shots of it. Um we looked at the
[21:15]
commercial property down on Fur Road. Uh
even looked at the uh property north of
[21:22]
Ivy that is zoned uh for manufacturing
or industrial use. um
[21:30]
gave them some contact information for
um a couple of realators uh in our area.
[21:39]
Uh their next suggestion is that we uh
get the property listed. Uh so we will
[21:48]
find a commercial realer
a little bit different than a you know a
[21:53]
residential realator. So, we'll find one
of those, somebody we think is uh
[21:59]
a go-getter,
you know, so we can get it get the
[22:03]
property listed. At some point before
that though, we will have to make some
[22:08]
decisions about uh pricing on it. Uh we
have
[22:14]
approximately
31
[22:19]
» $31,250
per acre in it. uh as it sits now. Uh so
[22:26]
at some point we'll have to do that with
the council too and we'll get a uh when
[22:32]
we get that decided then we'll get
together and we'll get a contract for uh
[22:36]
getting it on the MLS. Um that will help
uh retail strategies
[22:43]
because then
companies
[22:47]
uh real estate divisions can actually go
on to the MLS and they can look at uh
[22:52]
everything on it too and
They'll have all that information done
[22:56]
before they'll ever come to town. So, it
was and we've got a couple other things
[23:02]
to do. I'll get with u Alga Martin. Uh
we have one concept drawn up already. Uh
[23:10]
they want another concept and so uh
we'll get that drawn up too. U
[23:17]
just so that we can show options uh for
what can happen at the property. Um, and
[23:25]
we do still need to get uh
get some of it cleaned off.
[23:32]
Uh, and I'm sure there's some more down
trees down there now. Uh, citizens are
[23:38]
more than welcome to uh cut up any of
that down the down vegetation there that
[23:44]
if they want to use it for firewood or
their fire pits, whatever. Uh, we just
[23:50]
ask that they come in and sign a lean
lean release a waiver. Uh here at city
[23:56]
hall, we have blank ones that they can
use and fill that out. So
[24:02]
they're they're more than welcome
because there's going to be a lot of
[24:05]
firewood even even just off of the down
material. There's there's some pretty
[24:10]
good dead trees in there that would make
good firewood. So
[24:15]
» thank you.
>> Yep. Anybody else got any questions
[24:19]
about economic development and the
meeting that we had today?
[24:26]
And if not, we'll move on to unfinished
business and I'll start at this end for
[24:32]
Anita.
>> I don't have anything.
[24:35]
» Okay. And Holly?
>> Yes, sir.
[24:38]
» Roger.
David,
[24:41]
» it's not necessarily unfinished
business, but in conjunction with the
[24:45]
the donation that was made to the mural,
I just want to point out for those that
[24:48]
aren't aware, the Leo's Club is the
youth affiliate of the Lions Club. Uh
[24:53]
they're very active, do a lot in our
community. Appreciate the young men and
[24:59]
women that participate, the adult
mentors, uh that work with them. Miss
[25:03]
Figueroa is a recent graduate of Carl
Junction High School and was recognized
[25:08]
for outstanding citizenship and I'm sure
in part because of her involvement with
[25:12]
Leo's club and also other things that
she does. So good job. We're proud of
[25:16]
you.
>> Yeah, absolutely. I'd like to give her a
[25:20]
Leo club.
[25:24]
» Walter unfinished business.
>> No, sir.
[25:27]
» Carol,
>> no sir.
[25:29]
» Then I'll start Mr. Tally.
[25:34]
Elena.
>> Yes, sir.
[25:36]
» Crystal,
>> Steve,
[25:39]
» uh, just one item. Uh, painted tiles are
starting to come back into city hall.
[25:44]
So, we've got a pretty good group of
them already that's come in and we're
[25:47]
starting to get them separated by their
colors and
[25:52]
uh, everything is on order or we've
already received for getting it mounted.
[25:56]
So, we're well on our way.
And thank you to not only the Leo's club
[26:02]
because they painted some, but the
junior high art department summer school
[26:07]
class painted a bunch of them, too. So,
we've got really good participation from
[26:12]
all of the citizens and and some groups.
>> Yeah. And they do look the ones I've
[26:16]
seen do look good.
>> Yep.
[26:18]
» It will be very interesting this
[26:24]
» Jay.
>> I don't know if this business When we
[26:29]
get ready to cut for those acres, I
think I'm going to build pile on 32
[26:34]
acres so we don't have to get on the
highway and drive right there quicker
[26:40]
and out of the 98 acres out there.
There's a place where we burn there in
[26:46]
the tornado before I think we're going
to take all club and briber south out
[26:53]
there put there burn it this winter.
That's efficiency is what it sounds like
[27:00]
to me.
>> Keeps off the highway.
[27:02]
» You bet. And and save a bunch of time.
So safety and time.
[27:09]
» Police.
I think uh I think at this point for the
[27:14]
unfinished business, I also want to
bring up and and the public works and
[27:19]
the police department have been
recognized tonight, but and you guys
[27:24]
both both your departments did an
absolutely wonderful job of uh working
[27:30]
for the city and actually going above
and beyond the call of duty, I think, in
[27:34]
a lot of ways. I'd also like to mention
uh the football players and coach Hafner
[27:42]
is going around helping people that
maybe can't help themselves and that
[27:47]
kind of stuff. So I'd like to appreciate
them as well. So hopefully somebody's
[27:53]
watching this lady on
[28:03]
the coach.
Yeah,
[28:06]
» that lady
[28:10]
» that's that's what we probably don't
there's there's some blessings if you
[28:16]
will or some good things about living in
this part of the country I think because
[28:20]
I don't think that happens everywhere
but and when it comes to a disaster and
[28:25]
this was not a disaster this was
uncomfortable but uh everybody pulls
[28:30]
together and that's that's worth a worth
its weight and old. Uh I'm going to go
[28:36]
to uh
new business. So we'll start down here
[28:42]
at this end. Carol,
>> I just want to thank all the citizens
[28:46]
because they've all pitched in and
without being asked and just taken
[28:52]
control of a lot of things. In a lot of
places, you don't get that kind of
[28:55]
service from your citizens. That's
exactly
[28:57]
» And we have some some fine citizens
here. So thank you to them.
[29:03]
Walter,
>> no sir.
[29:06]
» David,
>> no sir.
[29:08]
» Roger.
>> Nothing.
[29:09]
» Holly?
>> Yeah. I just want to say um the way the
[29:13]
calendar falls, we will not meet again
till after the 4th of July. So um a lot
[29:18]
of activities go on in town around the
4th. Uh Friday, July 3rd, there's a free
[29:23]
decorating event at the Well Church. Um
kids or anybody can bring their bikes,
[29:27]
scooters, wagons, decorate those for
free. Um, and you can leave them there
[29:32]
overnight. And then Saturday morning,
uh, July 4th, we have our parade at
[29:37]
10:00 a.m. line up um, 8:30 or 9 that

[29:42]

activities at Brierbrook during the day
[29:46]
and the fireworks Saturday night at
Brierbrook. Hope everybody can
[29:50]
participate in some of those activities.
Yes, ma'am.
[29:52]
» There's also the Lions breakfast 7:30
>> on July 4th.
[29:58]
» Okay. and Lion's Breakfast before the
parade. Okay, cool.
[30:03]
» Thank you. That's all.
>> Anita,
[30:05]
» no sir.
>> Mr. Tally,
[30:08]
» Elena?
>> No, sir.
[30:10]
» Crystal
Steve,
[30:12]
» no sir.
>> Jay,
[30:16]
» please. We started upgrading our laptops
several years ago. We purchased non
[30:24]
ruggedized
laptops for cars which has not been a
[30:29]
good experience there. They don't
tolerate the weather extremes very well.
[30:34]
So we started upgrading to what they
call GTA
[30:39]
are the ones that I got on the grant
this year about half the department with
[30:46]
those. But now we have the Lenovo
surplus and had some employees
[30:52]
interested in purchasing those for their
kids, grandkids or whatever
[30:58]
step
to offer that to them. The council will
[31:03]
approve that approve that.
[31:08]
» Uh Mr. Tally, I'll give you my
suggestion and see what you think of it.
[31:14]
uh board of alderman would deem them as
surplus property and uh they could offer
[31:21]
them to employees.
[31:29]
» I'd like to say yes. Okay. But I think I
look at it.
[31:34]
» Yeah.
>> Yeah. Let's let's table that one till
[31:40]
next meeting possibly.
>> Yeah. That's fine. I I will um get with
[31:47]
Steve and and look at it and communicate
it. I um
[31:57]
if what you might do is
I think we need the board's approval.
[32:05]
Assuming that we can legally do this,
could we get board approval ahead of
[32:11]
time? Unless we want to wait till the
next council meeting to act.
[32:15]
» I want you to take a look at it before
we get
[32:19]
» Yeah, I think I think so, too. If you
could give us guidance before the next
[32:24]
meeting would be preferred, I think.
>> I I'm just concerned that we may have
[32:28]
some things in the cover about how to
handle surplus property.
[32:34]
I didn't
>> understand.
[32:39]
Is there any other business before the
council?
[32:43]
» Yes.
>> Originally when you did the preliminary
[32:48]
plat on the 32 acres, um there was a
road off Gum Road to access that
[32:54]
property. uh which we objected to
because that road is basically right in
[32:59]
front of uh my next door neighbor and if
there's if there's a road there
[33:04]
basically there is no border for that
for those houses. So my I we don't want
[33:10]
a road at all but if there was going to
be a road off of Gum Road to access that
[33:15]
property uh consider that it should be
Sherry Lane. There's already an
[33:19]
intersection there. There's already a
road that Sherry Lane should run across
[33:24]
and catch uh the back third of that
property for access into it as opposed
[33:28]
to in front of u existing houses.
There's no houses in front of Sherry
[33:33]
Lane directly. So, as an option, I I'd
like you to think about that if
[33:38]
necessary. So, you're talking about
doing another plat. So, that's why I
[33:41]
wanted to bring it up.
>> Okay. Steve, can you
[33:47]
You're nodding like you understand and
and I'm a little bit
[33:53]
uh I I think that
>> Can we adjourn?
[33:56]
» Second.
>> Uh we have a motion by David and a
[34:02]
second by Holly to adjurnn. Uh if
everybody is in the affirmative on that,
[34:07]
raise your right hand.
So, looks like we have six in the
[34:12]
affirmative and none opposed. So, I'd
say this meeting is adjourned at this
[34:18]
point in time. Thank you.
