[clears throat and cough] 40 00:02:55,040 --> 00:03:07,360 » Uh to start off uh on the streets uh patched a great deal of u potholes 41 00:03:03,519 --> 00:03:13,599 throughout the city. Um went over on Farm Road where we did that big job over 42 00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:18,720 there. We tore out a lot of asphalt over there that was humping up, piled it up 43 00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:26,480 alongside a farm road. We went over and cleaned that up so it looks presentable. 44 00:03:21,519 --> 00:03:31,040 Um, and resurfaced what stone we had down there. It looks pretty good again. 45 00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:36,319 Uh, ditches. We cleaned out the covert at 8 and 46 00:03:34,640 --> 00:03:43,920 Orchid and uh reworked the ditch at Bula. 47 00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:50,080 had a problem down on Bula where the rock where it was coming out of that 48 00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:57,760 tend horn there and it was pulling over towards the road Bula and we only had a 49 00:03:54,000 --> 00:04:01,920 foot of clearance between the ground and the road and we were a little worried 50 00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:08,480 about that getting over into the road creating more of an issue uh with that. 51 00:04:06,159 --> 00:04:12,799 So, what we did was we pulled the rock out of the middle. Made it made it more 52 00:04:10,959 --> 00:04:19,600 of a ditch and piled it up where now we've got 53 00:04:15,439 --> 00:04:25,759 probably two 2 and 1/2 ft road edge. Um, I thought to make it even better, we 54 00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:31,440 would use concrete um to pour over the top of it to seal 55 00:04:28,479 --> 00:04:36,960 that rock in where it wouldn't run out when next big rain we had. So, it it 56 00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:44,160 doesn't look bad. I'm pretty happy with the way it does look. The park Billy's 57 00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:50,240 been mowing over there. Um um we replaced the refrigerator at the 58 00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:55,199 community building, it went out, so we replaced it, pumped out the pool several 59 00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:59,840 times.

[cough and clears throat] 65 00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:29,680 I think it was about time because it was in that lock box over there and God only 66 00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:34,320 knows how many people has that combination to that lock box. So, I 67 00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:40,720 thought it'd be in our best interest to go ahead and just re key it and move 68 00:05:37,840 --> 00:05:45,759 forward with that. >> Um, 69 00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:50,960 equipment maintenance.

I 276 00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:13,120 would like to remind everyone that the board of alderman approved a new public 277 00:25:09,279 --> 00:25:17,039 comment policy on June 30, 2026. The revised policy allows public comments 278 00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:22,000 from residents and taxpayers of Garden City, including individuals who reside 279 00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:27,200 within the corporate limits of the city or who own or operate a business located 280 00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:32,400 within the corporate limits of the city. Individuals who do not meet the criteria 281 00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:36,000 to qualify as a resident or taxpayer may submit a request to speak. The 282 00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:41,679 requirements of the policy may be temporarily suspended by a vote of three 283 00:25:38,559 --> 00:25:47,039 members of the board of all. So we want to invite Connie Poel to the 284 00:25:45,279 --> 00:25:50,200 podium for res. 285 00:25:50,799 --> 00:26:00,320 Good evening and thank you Tony Poel co n i e p o i s a l 45 county road at 286 00:25:58,159 --> 00:26:06,000 garden city Missouri. The presence of council bill 20261056 287 00:26:03,919 --> 00:26:10,320 on the agenda authorizing the demolition of the Garden City Aquatic Center prior 288 00:26:08,159 --> 00:26:15,520 to the public form, the absence of an engineer evaluation, the comparison of 289 00:26:13,039 --> 00:26:20,159 the cost of renovation versus demolition and removal of the debris with and 290 00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:23,120 without grants. And I know there's been an estimate, but I'm talking about a 291 00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:28,320 confirmed estimate as opposed to a general estimate. and perhaps any 292 00:26:25,360 --> 00:26:33,039 individual or any involvement or input by Patty Hover outdoor recreation grant 293 00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:37,279 planner with the land water conservation fund grant gives the appearance an 294 00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:41,200 unwanted appearance that the board is prepared to make a decision based on 295 00:26:39,039 --> 00:26:48,960 personal preference and not actual information. I would urge the board to 296 00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:53,279 table council bill 2026 105756 until all the above listed information 297 00:26:51,120 --> 00:26:57,120 was available and had been considered. I would urge the board to invite Miss 298 00:26:55,120 --> 00:27:02,400 Hubard to meet with the board and the public. Her willingness to meet at the 299 00:26:59,039 --> 00:27:06,400 pool on July 21st, 2025 with myself, Alvin, city clerk Lorie Oaks, Alderman 300 00:27:04,559 --> 00:27:10,480 John Gibson, and former alderman Steve Clayburn would indicate her willingness 301 00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:15,200 to meet with all the board members and the public. The July 21st, 2025 meeting 302 00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:20,159 was arranged by Alvin and myself as private citizens. So surely she would be 303 00:27:17,919 --> 00:27:25,279 receptive to an invitation from actual elected members. I shared Miss 304 00:27:23,039 --> 00:27:29,760 direct phone number with the board in my email. Once again, it is my hope the 305 00:27:27,760 --> 00:27:36,240 board will not take any action on council bill 2026 1056 or make any 306 00:27:33,279 --> 00:27:40,240 decision regarding the aquatic center without accessing and consideration of 307 00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:44,320 all the information and that would include remarks made tonight by two 308 00:27:41,919 --> 00:27:48,720 citizens. When making your decision, the board should remember a vanity school as 309 00:27:46,559 --> 00:27:51,919 these development. Please don't make a decision that moves our committee 310 00:27:50,159 --> 00:27:56,159 backward and does not reflect your commitment to the city's development as 311 00:27:53,840 --> 00:28:00,240 expressed by all of you when campaigning for the office that you hold. And I 312 00:27:58,240 --> 00:28:07,200 would also just like to refer to this overview as well. Um once again, we have 313 00:28:03,919 --> 00:28:11,440 a general uh figure for demolition and debris removal. It would be helpful, I 314 00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:17,039 think, to the public everyone if there was a confirmed estimate on that. And 315 00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:21,120 then also regarding the state audit, um Alan and I attended the meeting 316 00:28:19,120 --> 00:28:25,840 facilitated by the representative the auditor's office and uh I must say the 317 00:28:24,399 --> 00:28:30,640 majority of people that signed that audit petition audit were not there. So 318 00:28:28,799 --> 00:28:34,559 draw any of their conclusions from that but they did not want to show up. It was 319 00:28:32,799 --> 00:28:37,919 determined that there was nothing wrong with what the city did in building the 320 00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:42,960 pool. They were not apprehended as honest and proper in any way, shape or 321 00:28:40,399 --> 00:28:50,320 form. and the individual who initiated the initial petition audit himself said 322 00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:53,600 that he had not voted and uh didn't think it would pass and that's why he 323 00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:57,760 didn't bother to vote. So this would appear to be this audit product not of 324 00:28:55,760 --> 00:29:03,039 real concern but a sour break. So, I think we need to put that into uh into 325 00:29:00,159 --> 00:29:07,039 context. And then also because it was a citizen 326 00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:11,360 originated petition audit, it did cost, it's my understanding, somewhere between 327 00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:13,679 15,000 25,000 city. >> Thank you so much. 328 00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:17,600 » So, once again, thank you for your time. Always appreciate. 329 00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:21,760 » Thank you. >> Okay. I have a request from a 330 00:29:19,520 --> 00:29:26,480 non-resident for the public comments.

The motion is denied. >> I appreciate residents comments this 340 00:30:24,799 --> 00:30:30,679 evening and sharing their concerns. >> Sorry. 341 00:30:33,039 --> 00:30:41,039 If there are no further comments, next item of business is unfinished business. 342 00:30:39,279 --> 00:30:45,320 Do any of the board of alderman have any unfinished business at this time? 343 00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:57,279 Okay.

I walk my dog every day, twice a day, and I have to carry a dog with me 354 00:31:52,720 --> 00:31:59,200 because those dogs are running those all the time. One of them has chased me 355 00:31:57,200 --> 00:32:03,519 twice. And there used to be several ladies at 356 00:32:01,760 --> 00:32:06,559 Senior Citizens Housing that used to walk their little dogs around the block 357 00:32:05,039 --> 00:32:11,360 and they don't even do that anymore because those dogs are running loose all 358 00:32:08,559 --> 00:32:15,600 the time. Um, I know for a fact that they were not 359 00:32:13,279 --> 00:32:19,440 feeding them for long periods of time or watering them. One of them was tied 360 00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:24,880 around the tree and wrapped around it for days at a time with no food or 361 00:32:22,399 --> 00:32:29,440 water. The people behind them were feeding and watering them up until all 362 00:32:27,840 --> 00:32:35,440 of that came down where they all got into a big fight over the the one dog 363 00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:39,200 biting their dog. Um, so that 364 00:32:37,440 --> 00:32:43,919 I have a problem with that dog coming back getting any animal back. I have a 365 00:32:42,240 --> 00:32:47,840 big problem with it because they don't take care of them. They the only time 366 00:32:46,320 --> 00:32:51,600 they go out in the yard and even look at those dogs is to yell at them for 367 00:32:49,360 --> 00:32:55,039 barking. And I don't blame them for barking because nobody's taking care of 368 00:32:53,200 --> 00:33:00,559 them. They never get loose. They never get exercised unless they break loose. 369 00:32:58,000 --> 00:33:05,600 Um, they have had they had a goat in that 370 00:33:03,679 --> 00:33:09,679 trailer a couple of weeks ago out in the front yard that was making all kinds of 371 00:33:07,200 --> 00:33:14,799 racket. They had rabbits running loose all over the neighborhood. Their feed 372 00:33:12,080 --> 00:33:18,240 sacks, they blow all over the neighborhood and get caught up in my 373 00:33:16,159 --> 00:33:23,760 fence. Their trash is all over my yard all the time. They've only mowed their 374 00:33:20,640 --> 00:33:29,760 yard like three times this year. And the noise. Oh my gosh. They never speak in a 375 00:33:27,840 --> 00:33:37,559 normal tone of voice. All you hear over there is screaming and fussing nonstop 376 00:33:33,200 --> 00:33:37,559 24/7. It's just 377 00:33:38,480 --> 00:33:45,039 It's like living across the street from the circus. It's ridiculous. It really 378 00:33:42,399 --> 00:33:48,640 is. It's ridiculous.

It's it's getting bad. 384 00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:17,520 I mean, I've told my kids about it and they all thought I was exaggerating 385 00:34:14,800 --> 00:34:21,919 until they actually witnessed it and they're like, "This is just nuts." 386 00:34:19,839 --> 00:34:26,639 They're just and I work from home three days a week and I'm trying to be on I'm 387 00:34:24,720 --> 00:34:32,639 on the phone with patients and there's all this commotion going on across the 388 00:34:29,040 --> 00:34:37,280 street all the time.
