>> Okay. The next item of business
[0:57] is the mayor statement. The board of
alderman meeting meetings are to conduct
[1:03] city business. The city has allowed
comments from residents appropriately
[1:08] under public comment. A reminder that
any citizen wanting to participate in
[1:12] the public comment section must sign a
public request card that has a stated
[1:17] threeinut time limit has been given to
the clerk within the appropriate time
[1:20] frame. When a citizen's name is
recognized, they may come to the podium
[1:24] and must state their name with the
proper spelling and address. The
[1:28] threeminut time frame needs to be
respectfully followed. When more than
[1:32] one citizen is present to express
opinions on the same subject matter, it
[1:36] is recommended that participants
designate a spokesperson to represent
[1:39] the group. When an opposing opinion is
present, then the same would be expected
[1:44] from the opposing side. The chair will
respectfully remind the citizens when
[1:48] the three minutes is up. Once a citizen
has spoken, unless the chair recognizes
[1:53] them to return to the podium, all
comments are to cease. A total of 21
[1:57] minutes will be designated for public
comment. Open form comments from the
[2:01] public are not allowed. If this
procedure is not followed, the chair
[2:05] will ask that the citizen be removed. We
encourage all citizens to contact your
[2:09] alderman to help with any concerns.
Thank you. The next item of business is
[2:15] the committee department reports. Do we
have a report from planning and zen?
[2:20] » They met last night and they will be
having a work session on September 21st
[2:25] to discuss the um next phase of
comprehension plan
[2:32] » September 21st.
>> 21st at 6:30.
[2:35] » Okay.
>> Thank you Lord. Now moving on to the
[2:39] next committee report. Do we have a
report from public works department
[2:43] David Cartwright.
[2:50] Good afternoon or evening folks.
[clears throat and cough]
[2:55] » Uh to start off uh on the streets uh
patched a great deal of u potholes
[3:03] throughout the city. Um went over on
Farm Road where we did that big job over
[3:10] there. We tore out a lot of asphalt over
there that was humping up, piled it up
[3:16] alongside a farm road. We went over and
cleaned that up so it looks presentable.
[3:21] Um, and resurfaced what stone we had
down there. It looks pretty good again.
[3:29] Uh, ditches.
We cleaned out the covert at 8 and
[3:34] Orchid
and uh reworked the ditch at Bula.
[3:42] had a problem down on Bula where the
rock where it was coming out of that
[3:45] tend horn there and it was pulling over
towards the road Bula and we only had a
[3:54] foot of clearance between the ground and
the road and we were a little worried
[4:00] about that getting over into the road
creating more of an issue uh with that.
[4:06] So, what we did was we pulled the rock
out of the middle. Made it made it more
[4:10] of a ditch
and piled it up where now we've got
[4:15] probably two 2 and 1/2 ft road edge.
Um, I thought to make it even better, we
[4:22] would use concrete
um to pour over the top of it to seal
[4:28] that rock in where it wouldn't run out
when next big rain we had. So, it it
[4:34] doesn't look bad. I'm pretty happy with
the way it does look. The park Billy's
[4:40] been mowing over there. Um
um we replaced the refrigerator at the
[4:47] community building, it went out, so we
replaced it, pumped out the pool several
[4:53] times.
Um water meter at the little shelter
[4:58] house
um was removed because it was leaking.
[5:03] So, we went ahead and just just had it
removed.
[5:08] Um, check lock or we changed the locks
on the concession [clears throat] stand.
[5:13] The two bathrooms over there, the
maintenance room and the concession
[5:17] stand all got rekeyed.
[cough and clears throat]
[5:21] I think it was about time because it was
in that lock box over there and God only
[5:27] knows how many people has that
combination to that lock box. So, I
[5:32] thought it'd be in our best interest to
go ahead and just re key it and move
[5:37] forward with that.
>> Um,
[5:42] equipment maintenance. Uh, the lawnmower
got new blades.
[5:48] Um, replaced two
batteries in the dump truck. Not sure
[5:54] why they went bad, but we had to replace
two batteries. We got new batteries and
[5:59] everything we own out of here now, I
think. So,
[6:04] um, replace batteries in the miniacs.
Um,
[6:10] and maintained barn uh burn tiles. We
got some really big trunk tree trunks
[6:18] over there. And we I was real surprised
how quick those things burn up. It burn
[6:23] all night, but it burn up.
Um,
[6:28] sidewalk on fourth and fur.
Mr. Vote, Dave Vote came down to us. Was
[6:35] that last week?
>> Couple weeks ago.
[6:37] » Couple weeks ago.
>> And he's selling the house over on fur
[6:42] and he says, uh, nothing's been done for
six years on it. And apparently it was
[6:48] voted on six years ago. We Lori looked
it up for us. It had been um a water
[6:54] tank had been replaced and they tore up
the sidewalk and then we were supposed
[6:58] to replace it at that time and they
didn't do it.
[7:01] » 28 foot of it.
>> Yep.
[7:03] » So we went ahead ordered some concrete
and reformed it, staked it, poured it,
[7:11] um brushed it,
threw dirt on the side of the sidewalk
[7:15] and grass seeds. So it's ready for rain
>> if we get it.
[7:22] So, um,
[7:27] replace the light switches in in our
shop. Um, it wouldn't come on right away
[7:33] when we flipped the switch. Billy said,
"Let's go ahead and replace that."
[7:37] Worked wonderful after he replaced it.
It worked great. So, pretty happy about
[7:42] that.
Um, if anybody's got any questions, I'd
[7:46] be glad to [clears throat] answer
>> or try to.
[7:51] » I don't know if Debbie told you, but or
reminded you, but the at the dog kennel
[7:55] the pound the posts.
>> Yes.
[7:59] » Okay.
>> We both know that. Okay.
[8:01] » And we're just
>> That's why I figured you're busy.
[8:04] » This week I ended up getting somebody to
help me out. Um, [clears throat] Mr.
[8:09] Johnson
sitting back here with his ray glasses
[8:13] on came and helped me out this week. And
I'm telling you, we got things done. We
[8:20] really did. I think we're pretty much
caught up. I'm getting ready to go on
[8:25] vacation. We'll see what kind of mess
we're in after I get back. But, uh, I'm
[8:30] real happy with all the progress we made
this week.
[8:35] So, anything else, folks?
>> Okay.
[8:41] » Okay. Thank you, David.
>> Now, moving on to the next committee
[8:46] report. Do we have a report from Police
Chief Michael Carr?
[8:50] » Good evening.
>> I'm going to jump down and talk to Dave
[8:54] real quick.
>> Um, are you getting more salt this fall
[8:59] for?
>> No, sir.
[9:00] » For the parking. So, what you got is
what you're going to have.
[9:02] » Yes, I think we'll have plenty of salt.
>> Okay. Do you have any access issues
[9:08] getting in the building? Are you able to
get in?
[9:10] » Oh, yeah. We can get in there. Okay,
because we're talking about replacing
[9:12] the doors, so we need to remind
ourselves to get in the key when we redo
[9:16] those doors. So,
>> no, you've been very gracious in helping
[9:19] me out so I can get in there.
>> I just
[9:23] Oh, okay.
>> Okay.
[9:26] » Yeah.
>> Okay.
[9:27] » Okay. Um, so we were busy August. We had
a lot of civil standbys. We had another
[9:32] dog bite. The dog bite was a dog that
bit another dog. We confiscated that
[9:38] dog. That dog is in our custody. Um
Debbie and Officer R.J. Thank you for
[9:45] taking care of that dog. So I know it's
kind been kind of a pain on the
[9:49] weekends, so I appreciate you getting
out there.
[9:50] » No problem.
>> Take care of it. Several business checks
[9:54] were being conducted daily and nightly.
Uh Officer Corbin attended active
[9:58] shooter training twice this month. Uh
one through the course uh up north that
[10:02] I I actually taught and then he attended
Sherwood School District's active
[10:07] shooter training. So thank you for going
down there attending that.
[10:10] Which one was better?
>> You know that answer.
[10:13] » Okay. [laughter]
>> The school.
[10:16] » They're both.
[10:19] » Tanya's going to be on vacation from
September 6th to the 15th. Uh Debbiey's
[10:24] going to be on vacation to from
September 21st to October something.
[10:29] [laughter]
>> Whenever she decides to come back,
[10:31] » I'll let you know later.
>> Yeah. On that, uh Tanya has offered to
[10:36] help me in the office while Debbie is
gone. Are you guys okay with that if I
[10:40] have her help me answer the phones in
the office during Debbiey's time of
[10:45] being gone? Is anybody close to that?
It's gonna up Ty's hours a little bit.
[10:53] So I don't have an issue with it. I had
actually thought about see Tony will be
[10:59] able to do that when Debbiey's gone.
Then she came to me about us tonight and
[11:03] asked if I was going to need help and I
just thought I'd run past you guys make
[11:06] sure you guys were good with it. So just
have an extra person there to hand the
[11:09] phones while we're out the field.
>> Y 23 total citations issued for the
[11:15] month of August 15 by codes enforcement.
So she's been busy paid by the police
[11:21] department
and worked the rock the block with the
[11:25] church and I had one concerned citizen
talk to me today about dog licensing and
[11:31] wanting to know why we don't require
dogs to be licensed until they're six
[11:35] months old. And I just said that's just
due
[11:41] on the past
forever.
[11:44] » Yeah. And this lady, she pointed out
that adults can be vaccinated much
[11:49] younger than 6 months old. And I just
told her I would relay a message to the
[11:53] city council and see if that's anything
you guys want to take in consideration
[11:56] because apparently we have a lot of
puppies in town that are not licensed.
[12:00] So
>> we'll just wait till they can be
[12:04] vaccinated for babies. I have no idea.
[12:10] » It's one year for the latest
Google search today.
[12:17] » Yeah.
[12:32] Still have an issue with speed on
street.
[12:48] It's just a problem.
[12:59] I still have
back to you guys.
[13:06] I know you guys
[13:15] are
[clears throat]
[13:20] still
[13:28] can't hear you back here.
>> Okay,
[13:36] » we know you can speak louder.
>> That That's pretty much what I got. We
[13:40] could just enterain the conversation
with Steve
[13:45] talk about talk
[13:54] to me.
[13:59] » What was it?
[14:03] » No, I think it's fine. I think we're
just pull them up there and it's all
[14:10] pull them up the hole.
>> Yeah, spoke about a patch.
[14:14] » Yeah,
>> something correct me if I'm doing
[14:19] something. Right. We talking about doing
when we do the streets though as well
[14:23] for
[14:32] now being open.
>> We've had several broke 60. That's
[14:36] crazy. Yeah.
>> So, like what time I know you say the
[14:40] fall, but would it suffice to put them
up now?
[14:45] » And then you have speed bumps on eight
street.
[14:48] » Could we put up the speed bumps now?
>> But would how long would they be there
[14:52] before you take them up?
[15:05] because they make some good
>> PC.
[15:08] » Dave, can you look on speeds?
>> I can. I've got a boat here. I can
[15:16] » see.
[15:21] » That's awesome.
Now is there a problem in motorcycles or
[15:27] motorbikes or
>> no way across
[15:31] there actually gap between
>> carc
[15:38] [laughter]
[15:47] [laughter]
[15:49] pretty well.
[laughter]
[15:52] » Jersey.
[15:56] » Um, I have one more question.
>> This dog, is that dog belong to somebody
[16:01] or how's that?
>> It does.
[16:07] » Is it going to go back with its owner?
>> Actually,
[16:12] the other dog
[16:16] was cited.
>> Okay. We don't have the ability to deem
[16:20] that dog's dog,
>> right?
[16:29] » It could be both. It could be and I
talked to Spencer about the process by
[16:34] which he wants to go about this. I took
him the ordinance and we talked about it
[16:38] last week. So
I think we're on the same page about
[16:42] what we need to do and what we're going
to do forward when
[16:50] we'll talk more about this problem.
>> Okay. And I had a talk with Miss Law
[16:55] Martina and she's willing to make calls
if we get a dog that nobody wants or we
[17:00] don't know who it is. She would make me
call to a shelter or whatever for us. So
[17:06] just keep that in mind. Yes.
>> Yeah.
[17:12] But that house
is
[17:26] not
[17:35] » Thank you, Chief. Now moving on to the
next committee report. Uh do you have a
[17:41] report from the code?
>> Hello.
[17:44] » Hello.
>> I just want to pick up where we left off
[17:47] last time. That's the properties that I
have to talk about. Um might as well
[17:51] start out with the West.
[18:03] We've had several complaints on it. I
will
[18:08] have to clean up
[18:15] the train
now.
[18:21] So this is
they know
[18:32] by the one
[18:36] The owner of the property has decided
[18:51] 44 FIA the property has been mowed and
the tree is gone. I talked to one of the
[18:59] members of
[19:17] 407 South Street. The property has been
mowed and brushed and it is now sold.
[19:25] So we don't have to worry about that
anymore.
[19:28] And the only other one I got is the one
on South Street.
[19:33] There is equipment on site. It is a
tractor bucket. He has taken down a
[19:39] little bit of the steps, a little bit.
[19:49] Other than that, that is it. Other than
I wanted to ask about your
[19:55] I'm going up to
a
[20:05] » Thank you.
>> We have a report from city clerk Lori
[20:10] Oaks.
>> Um with the help of Barl West, we've
[20:16] applied for a TE grant which would help
pay for part of the comprehensive plan.

going to be painting it. Um there it
[20:59] will be very loud. They will be doing um
pressure washer pressure washing on the
[21:08] tower. So there'll be a lot of noise
from 7 am to 7 pm.
[21:16] » 8 to the 18
[21:22] projects that project
>> the painting but the power washing the
[21:28] actual
>> noise will be the 18th.
[21:32] » Uh
and then the next meeting will be
[21:36] Tuesday October 13th. It will be a week
later
[21:40] being.
[21:48] The next item of business is the consent

I read A through I. A. Agenda of the

[laughter]
[22:43] Are there any questions or comments to
[22:54] hear? And I would entertain a motion to
accept items 5A through I as of the
[23:00] September 1, 2026 consent agenda.
>> I'll make a motion.
[23:06] » What about
[23:14] [laughter]
you?
[23:35] Okay. Um, I have a motion to approve the
September, 1226 ascent agenda by Alman
[23:42] Hernandez and seconded by Alman Gibson.

[23:53] Hi [laughter]
Fernandez.
[23:55] » Hi Gibson.
>> Hi.
[23:58] » The motion is approved.
[24:02] » The next business item of business is um
disclosure of interest. Does any member
[24:08] of the board of alderman have any
possible conflict of interest dealing

[24:51] Okay. Anything else?
[24:55] If there are no further comments, the
next item of business is public
[25:00] comments. Uh
the comments from from residents. I
[25:05] would like to remind everyone that the
board of alderman approved a new public
[25:09] comment policy on June 30, 2026. The
revised policy allows public comments
[25:14] from residents and taxpayers of Garden
City, including individuals who reside
[25:19] within the corporate limits of the city
or who own or operate a business located
[25:24] within the corporate limits of the city.
Individuals who do not meet the criteria
[25:29] to qualify as a resident or taxpayer may
submit a request to speak. The
[25:34] requirements of the policy may be
temporarily suspended by a vote of three
[25:38] members of the board of all.
So we want to invite Connie Poel to the
[25:45] podium
for res.
[25:50] Good evening and thank you Tony Poel co
n i e p o i s a l 45 county road at
[25:58] garden city Missouri. The presence of
council bill 20261056
[26:03] on the agenda authorizing the demolition
of the Garden City Aquatic Center prior
[26:08] to the public form, the absence of an
engineer evaluation, the comparison of
[26:13] the cost of renovation versus demolition
and removal of the debris with and
[26:18] without grants. And I know there's been
an estimate, but I'm talking about a
[26:21] confirmed estimate as opposed to a
general estimate. and perhaps any
[26:25] individual or any involvement or input
by Patty Hover outdoor recreation grant
[26:30] planner with the land water conservation
fund grant gives the appearance an
[26:35] unwanted appearance that the board is
prepared to make a decision based on
[26:39] personal preference and not actual
information. I would urge the board to
[26:43] table council bill 2026 105756
until all the above listed information
[26:51] was available and had been considered. I
would urge the board to invite Miss
[26:55] Hubard to meet with the board and the
public. Her willingness to meet at the
[26:59] pool on July 21st, 2025 with myself,
Alvin, city clerk Lorie Oaks, Alderman
[27:04] John Gibson, and former alderman Steve
Clayburn would indicate her willingness
[27:08] to meet with all the board members and
the public. The July 21st, 2025 meeting
[27:13] was arranged by Alvin and myself as
private citizens. So surely she would be
[27:17] receptive to an invitation from actual
elected members. I shared Miss
[27:23] direct phone number with the board in my
email. Once again, it is my hope the
[27:27] board will not take any action on
council bill 2026 1056 or make any
[27:33] decision regarding the aquatic center
without accessing and consideration of
[27:38] all the information and that would
include remarks made tonight by two
[27:41] citizens. When making your decision, the
board should remember a vanity school as
[27:46] these development. Please don't make a
decision that moves our committee
[27:50] backward and does not reflect your
commitment to the city's development as
[27:53] expressed by all of you when campaigning
for the office that you hold. And I
[27:58] would also just like to refer to this
overview as well. Um once again, we have
[28:03] a general uh figure for demolition and
debris removal. It would be helpful, I
[28:09] think, to the public everyone if there
was a confirmed estimate on that. And
[28:14] then also regarding the state audit, um
Alan and I attended the meeting
[28:19] facilitated by the representative the
auditor's office and uh I must say the
[28:24] majority of people that signed that
audit petition audit were not there. So
[28:28] draw any of their conclusions from that
but they did not want to show up. It was
[28:32] determined that there was nothing wrong
with what the city did in building the
[28:36] pool. They were not apprehended as
honest and proper in any way, shape or
[28:40] form. and the individual who initiated
the initial petition audit himself said
[28:46] that he had not voted and uh didn't
think it would pass and that's why he
[28:52] didn't bother to vote. So this would
appear to be this audit product not of
[28:55] real concern but a sour break. So, I
think we need to put that into uh into
[29:00] context. And then also because it was a
citizen
[29:04] originated petition audit, it did cost,
it's my understanding, somewhere between
[29:08] 15,000 25,000 city.
>> Thank you so much.
[29:12] » So, once again, thank you for your time.
Always appreciate.
[29:14] » Thank you.
>> Okay. I have a request from a
[29:19] non-resident for the public comments. I
would entertain a motion to suspend the
[29:23] rules and allow Ashley Martina to speak
before the board of
[29:40] dos.
[29:46] So I will make a motion.
[29:55] have a motion to suspend the rules and
allow no here. Yeah, that's it.
[30:03] Actually, speak for the board of
alderman by second by
[30:11] call.

[30:50] Okay. If there no further unfin if
there's no further unfinished business,
[30:54] the next item of business is new
business.
[31:06] » Hello.
>> Yes.
[31:11] » Spell my name.
[laughter]
[31:14] » I live at 106 West Bird Street, Garden
City, Missouri. I live across the street
[31:21] from the house that police were talking
about earlier with the animal issues.
[31:27] Um, I just wanted to
list here. I've lived there for five
[31:34] years. I think they've been there for
going on two years. It's not just the
[31:40] animal issues. I mean, the the dog that
you have in custody right now hasn't
[31:44] even been the big problem. It's the
other two dogs that are loose all the
[31:47] time. I walk my dog every day, twice a
day, and I have to carry a dog with me
[31:52] because those dogs are running those all
the time. One of them has chased me
[31:57] twice.
And there used to be several ladies at
[32:01] Senior Citizens Housing that used to
walk their little dogs around the block
[32:05] and they don't even do that anymore
because those dogs are running loose all
[32:08] the time. Um,
I know for a fact that they were not
[32:13] feeding them for long periods of time or
watering them. One of them was tied
[32:17] around the tree and wrapped around it
for days at a time with no food or
[32:22] water. The people behind them were
feeding and watering them up until all
[32:27] of that came down where they all got
into a big fight over the the one dog
[32:31] biting their dog. Um,
so that
[32:37] I have a problem with that dog coming
back getting any animal back. I have a
[32:42] big problem with it because they don't
take care of them. They the only time
[32:46] they go out in the yard and even look at
those dogs is to yell at them for
[32:49] barking. And I don't blame them for
barking because nobody's taking care of
[32:53] them. They never get loose. They never
get exercised unless they break loose.
[32:58] Um,
they have had they had a goat in that
[33:03] trailer a couple of weeks ago out in the
front yard that was making all kinds of
[33:07] racket. They had rabbits running loose
all over the neighborhood. Their feed
[33:12] sacks, they blow all over the
neighborhood and get caught up in my
[33:16] fence. Their trash is all over my yard
all the time. They've only mowed their
[33:20] yard like three times this year. And the
noise. Oh my gosh. They never speak in a
[33:27] normal tone of voice. All you hear over
there is screaming and fussing nonstop
[33:33] 24/7. It's just
[33:38] It's like living across the street from
the circus. It's ridiculous. It really
[33:42] is. It's ridiculous.
And something's got to be done about it.
[33:46] And Alvin, are you still the property
manager over there? [laughter]
[33:53] do something about it. It's just got
ridiculous.
[33:56] » Is it a rental?
>> Yes.
[33:58] » Okay. Then do you know who owns it? Do
you know?
[34:06] » It's I mean somebody's got to do
something, right? It's it's getting bad.
[34:11] I mean, I've told my kids about it and
they all thought I was exaggerating
[34:14] until they actually witnessed it and
they're like, "This is just nuts."
[34:19] They're just and I work from home three
days a week and I'm trying to be on I'm
[34:24] on the phone with patients and there's
all this commotion going on across the
[34:29] street all the time. So I just wish
someone would do something about it.
[34:34] » So you've got l you've got loose dogs
and you
[34:38] » noise
>> and trash
[34:40] » trash.
[34:43] They have like three trash cans that are
just piled up and overflowing and it
[34:47] blows over into my ditch.
over up against my fence line. They
[34:52] don't bother to come over there and pick
any of it up and then just all the
[34:56] screaming because I've walked out my
front door before and just yelled at him
[35:01] to shut up because I'm so tired of
hearing. I'm sure
[35:07] » they have no idea what to do about this.
>> Trash that public sense. There's trash
[35:15] over there. I thought that the other
neighbors were going to be here tonight,
[35:18] but I guess not. They told me they were
going to come, but
[35:23] » would that be like
check?
[35:28] » I think she said she
get a hold of the landlord.
[35:33] » I have no idea who the landlord is. And
the sad is this is the third group of
[35:38] people that's live there since I've
lived there. And each group just gets
[35:42] worse. It's just like if these people
move out, I can't wait to see what comes
[35:46] next because
it just keeps getting worse.
[35:50] » So, can you find can you find a
landlord?
[35:54] » Oh, I talk to him on a regular basis.
[36:01] » Well, we'll see what we can do.
>> Thank you so much.
