Proclamations. We have a couple of
proclamations, but we have one right
now. Proclamation for ALS awareness
month, May 2026.
Tony, you can come up next.
Thank you for coming here. You guys are
amazing what you're doing nationally and
locally. So really appreciate it. ALS
awareness month May 2026.
Whereas amiotrophic lateral sclerosis
ALS known by many as Larage disease is a
progressive fatal neurodeenerative
disease that attacks nerve cells in the
brain and spinal cord making even the
simplest movements of walking, speaking
and gesturing difficult. And whereas
approximately 5,600 people are diagnosed
with ALS each year with a new diagnosis
every 90 minutes.
Whereas ALS strikes people regardless of
race, ethnicity, social status, there's
currently no known cause, means of
prevention, or cure, making diagnosis
difficult. Patients diagnosed with ALS
survive only two to five years and a few
treatments to improve quality of life.
And whereas people who served in the
military are twice as likely to to
develop ALS, leading to the US
Department of Veterans Affairs to
recognize ALS as a service connected
disease.
And whereas Tony Vic, a 16-year Warsburg
veteran, has battled ALS and defied the
odds after being officially diagnosed on
September 20th, 2017.
Vic is around one of 5,000 veterans
currently fighting ALS.
Whereas Tony and his wife Karen Vic
together work to raise awareness by
sharing their story through social media
platforms with over 500,000 followers.
And they do this on the reality of
living with ALS being an ALS caregiver.
The community's response to their
initial video went viral and the
feedback reflected to a positive impact
on the lives of ALS families everywhere.
This community response led the VIX to
an opportunity for a smart design home
renovation to meet the needs in 2024
through the Tunnel to Towers Foundation.
And now therefore, I Brucey Uler, mayor,
along with the city council of the city
of Orangeburg, Missouri, will hereby
proclaim the month of May 2026 as ALS
awareness month. And we honor Tony and
Karen Vic for giving a voice to the
reality of living with ALS that provides
farreaching awareness and support for
the disease worldwide. In witness
whereof I hear to set my hand seal this
11th day of May, 2026.
Thank you very much.

It's really
» Hey, item 6.1
presentation by Jessica Venderlow,
management analyst of Q2 fiscal 26
budget report.
» Oh,
that's tiny to read though, so I promise
I'll walk you through it. Okay. Hi, good
evening, mayor, members of the speed
council. It's my pleasure to be before
me tonight to present the quarter two on
report. Um quarter two ended on March
31st of this year. So at the end of each
quarter as you all know this is kind of
you're in talk finance. Um so we talk
about our actual kind of a single year
compared to the prior year and then also
compares how we're doing
budget. My apologies that may
sorry about so I'll kind of briefly go
through the report um primarily focusing
on our operating funds and some other
things of note particularly when it
comes to capital. Um so we always like
to begin with our general fund.
Good to have all that. Um, I like to
begin with our general fund. So, that's
going to be on page eight.
Catch up. Um, so on the revenue side,
um, our operating revenue is on track to
meet or exceed budget. Um, sales tax has
been strong thus far. So, we're really
happy to see that. And remember last
year we're kind of experiencing some
flattening um, going down a bit. So,
we're happy to see that that's um,
compared to last year that's gone up.
Um, right now our main area of concern
for Q2 is franchise fee revenue. Um, so
while there are a couple of sources that
are up compared to last year, um, we're
also kind of seeing some of those um, be
down, particularly some of our larger
ones. So those can be seasonal. So as we
kind of enter summer and some of those
things, those might go up. Um, but we're
keeping a close eye on it because with
only a 1% change from the last fiscal
year, that's below our current um,
budget of exceptions. Um, I also kind of
wanted to bring up use tax. Um, so
that's been also fairly flat from last
year. So compared to sales tax, which is
a little odd. Um, so we're going to just
keep an eye on that and see how those
end up coming in. um briefly call out
licenses and permits as well. So our
ride ofway permits were up. We had a
couple years where they were really high um and those have largely
stabilized. So those might come in um
ever so slightly under on there. Um
you'll also see of course the large um
transfer. Um I'll talk about some of the
projects that we anticipate using fund
balance for um in that line when I get
to the expense side of it. Um so again
like we're going to keep a really close
eye on sales tax and franchise fees
because those are 70% of our general
fund revenue and they could be quite
volatile. Um so we'll report back on Q3
on the continuing trends that we see
with those on the expense side. So
that's just on the next page on page
nine. Um I like to point out the um
other services you can see the kind of
large scary $4,000 number. Um as you all
remember that is the vacancy credit um
that we did. So historically we've been
budgeting for full staffing. We've not
had full staffing and so we've been
contributing to fund balance at the end
of the year. So this year we did the
fund wide vacancy credit for the general
fund. So essentially what that does is
we just find the cost of a set number of
positions. I believe we did six and we
just subtract that from the total
expenses that we expect to do. So it's a
contra expense and so that's why that
line um looks to be pretty far over
budget. It's completely normal. It's
what we um tended to do this year. Um
savings in our maintenance category um
in commodities as well primarily due to
us shifting our general expenses over
the CIP halfcent sales tax fund. Um and
as I promised I was going to go over
some of those kind of one-time large
capital projects we have. One of those
is of course Lion Lake um which we did
an amendment for um the last quarter
that I brought this to you. Um some of
the other ones that we're anticipating
use some of our reserves own this year.
Um we budgeted $500,000 for city hall
security upgrades about $400,000 for a
Bearcat. Um as you remember that came in
a little bit higher. I have the
encumbered funds in here just because I
like to show that um transparency wise.
We also had $90,000 for a wayfinding
sign, about $240,000ish for some
concrete work ramp curbs over at our
fire stations, $50,000 for a housing
study, and then $100,000 to start up the
VERT, which is the vehicle and equipment
reser replacement fund, which is how
we're paying for all the enterprise um
vehicles in that replacement program
there.
So, um I won't brief I won't call out
any of our departments here, but as you
can see, there's a bunch of green. So,
they're all wonderful. We have the best
department heads in the world. they do
wonderful at managing their budgets and
their expenses throughout the year. So,
fantastic work on their part. Um, I'll
skip through all the detail as well. If
you have any questions about that, happy
to return to that, but just kind of
keeping this as an overview. Um, so
water pollution control is next. So,
that's our sewer fund. Um, revenue, um,
charges for service, so service merch,
um, primary operating revenue there
coming in right on target with that rate
increase we did last fall. So, 3% over
where we were quarter 2 last year. Um,
you'll also see about 1.5 million in
miscellaneous. So, that's where we're
booking those u revenue bond proceeds
from the state revolving fund. So, as we
experience expenses from that project,
we're getting reimbured from the state.
Um, and so, so far we've gotten about
1.5 million as of Q2 and those will
continue to roll in as we work on that
project.
On the expenses, which is on page 18,
we are anticipating a need to pull from
fund balance to cover the total um of
again some onetime projects. That's kind
of a recurring theme you'll see across
this budget is that we found an
opportunity to use some of those reserve
funds um for really impactful projects
since we have carry some high balances
in some of our funds. So, we're really
going to make um a difference there. Um
so, for the purposes of the report, um
I'm assuming that we're just going to
cash finance both the lift station and
the solar project. That's not what we're
going to do. We kind of discussed going
lease financing, but just for the
simplicity of this report, just include
both those expenses. Um assuming full-on
cash financing there. Um and then they
have some savings from staff vacancies
and largely all the other expenses in
that fund um are on track.
So now I'm going to move on to parts. So
page 19 to talk about their revenue. So
most of their tax revenues on target to
meet or exceed budget. Um admin staff,
so finance, we're still going to
conservatively estimate some of those
new fees and the revenue is going to
come in from those. Um they've
definitely impacted revenue. So, um,
their memberships are about 17% higher
than they were or the revenue is 17%
higher than it was last year at the same
time. Um, but right now it's just
unclear whether this trend is going to
be strong enough and we think we're
going to meet or exceed budget with that
trend. So, we're still kind of budgeting
really on that side, but we are also of
course hoping for a strong pool season
and that kind of make up some of that
difference too. Um, so we've met with
parks, so they've kind of gone over
these rental estimates with them. Um and
as I'll talk about in the next section,
they've already started to make some
kind of proactive changes to their
expenses to try to maintain um a
balanced operating budget there.
So on the expense side, next page, page
20. So they do have already had a few
expenses that kind of made them go over
a bit maintenance. So they had a water
leak and then the HVAC went out as well.
So some of those unexpected things that
unfortunately come up from time to time.
Um, I also just want to bring up quickly
again the kind of mismatch between our
budget development and parks. They're a
few months ahead of us and so sometimes
we don't get estimates for our
insuranceances quite the same time. So,
we're working to tighten that up, but
that's also why you see that insurance
line a little bit over there. Um,
they're also been making some savings by
deferring some of their capital projects
and they do also have a bit um from
staff vacancies just because it took
them a bit into the year to fill um at
least one or two of their full-time
positions. So, now I'm going to go ahead
and skip to CIP funds. So, I'm going to
kind of talk about them together at
first and then I'll break out um after
that after when I get to the expenses.
So, revenue in both of them doing good.
Um coming in largely on target. So,
happy to see that. Um both funds again
to anticipate the funds transferred have
covered some additional projects that we
wanted to undergo this year. Um so, fund
210 which is our transportation CIP
fund. The ADA ramp curb and gutter
program is proceeding. Um and both the
asphalt and sidewalk programs will begin
in the coming months. So we'll have a
better idea about some more of those. So
some expensive
housing.
>> There are also significant savings from
the Cedar Court project. So that offset
some of the minor overages we see in
some of those other lines
on the halfsent which is fund 215.
That's just on that next page. There are
a lot of projects um within this fund, a
lot of ambitious initiatives going on
this year. Um as you all remember we
adopted an amendment last quarter for
the cost of the solar over the PD. their
nice little overhang they have now over
there. Um there are also a variety of
other projects as I mentioned. So
there's the fire engine lease payments
for those two fire engines we purchased
this year. UTVs, tools, alert and siren
maintenance, building maintenance,
tactical police equipment. Um so all of
those projects are largely progressive
as expected. So nothing crazy to report
there. Of course, if you want a full
report of the CIP, that's in the
comprehensive financial model as well as
we have a truncated version in the back
of the budget book. Okay. I would be
remiss if I didn't talk about solid
waste real quick. Um, so here we're
presenting again the revenue on a
received rather than a build basis just
to kind of better account for cash flow
in this relatively new fund. Um, so
right now we're sitting at about a 3%
delinquency rate rather than 10% which
is what we assume for budget. So that's
fantastic. So we're happy to see that
the revenue is performing favorably
there. Um, on the flip side, as I
mentioned again in Q1 and it's still the
trend. Um, our contract is trending to
be a bit more than we budgeted in. Um
but that's only because we have a higher
house count than when we assume the
budget. So that of course varies
directly with our revenue. Um so there's
no concerns there. If we have more
accounts, we get more money, but then we
also have to pay more money to
principal. So I'll bring forth an
amendment in Q3 or towards the end of
the year. Um if that trend continues and
we need to do that, but other than that,
happy stand for any questions you might
have.
>> I did have a few questions. Um, so on
the SIP funds, uh, spec specifically the
like fire engines, are we when do lease
payments start on that? Like we expect
to see that in the budget?
>> Yeah, that's one of the interests come
with them. Um, but the bulk of them
aren't going to start until next year. I
think we have some interest to pay this
year, but I believe most of it.
>> That's correct. Partly it's a function
of when we take receipt and when we get
lease findings in place. But I think we
actually are far behind in what we
budgeted. So yeah,
>> representative savings this year.
>> Sure.
>> Um on solid waste, is there a floor on
how much we would spend? So if we lose a
bunch of houses all at once or something
that come offline, is there still a
minimum amount we pay on the contract?
Okay. So it'll fluctuate with the houses
no matter what or the properties we're
servicing no matter what. Okay. Um and
then also on parks and wreck he
mentioned that we are misaligned
specifically with property insurance
does their budget on May June we don't
finalize our budget till September and
we don't get our renewal pre like
estimates from the insurance company
until July August and so there's a bit
of a mismatch there historically um
we're being more intentional about this
year trying to kind of tighten it up um
have more conversations about we think
it's going to be 10 15% um with our
insurance carriers so we can make sure
gets the best information they can of
even though they're 13 months ahead of
us.
>> So, their fiscal year is still aligned
with the city.
>> But since they have to go through the
parks board first, they kind of get a
head start on that. And I think believe
it's in our code that they have to bring
the brush to the parks board before they
bring it in us.
>> Yeah. So, they they have a lot more
process that's specified. And I would
tell you from the insurance side, it's
very it's pretty common to not know what
your number's going to be till you're
right up against the deadline, which is
can always be frustrating if you're
completing making a change but try to
manage that best.
>> So that misalignment is more just
budgeting process not necessarily. Okay.
>> Yeah. So they they had to budget a
number before we had the hard quote from
insurance and so they budgeted less than
what the insurance proved out to be.
>> Okay. And when is insurance renewal is
that align with our fiscal year also or
>> but like I said we usually get estimates
July August. So, okay. And we usually
kind of budget a blanket increase. So,
then we kind of adjust as we go on. But,
>> so is that misalignment something that
we can rectify? You know, can we go back
to parks in August and say, "Here's what
the insurance came out to. Can we update
your budget to reflect that or
something?"
>> Yeah. I think I'm going to speak for
parks a little bit, but I think they
they're paying attention to it just soon
as the number comes out and and as
Jennifer Jessica said, they do a good
job of just kind of monitoring all their
line items, adjusting expenses
according. So whether they make a budget
amendment, you know, immediately or
whether they're just factoring that in
soon as we know that number in
>> Oh, thank you.
>> Thank you guys.
>> Thank you, Jessica.
>> I had so I sorry I did have some No,
that's okay. I I was waiting you so you
have questions. Um and some of these may
not be questions for you. So feel free
to say that's a department person's
question. Um I wonder given
circumstances. If we're anticipating
budgeting higher for gas, diesel, you
know, fuel, especially in in um this
coming fiscal year, if that's something
that's kind of across the board,
everyone's planning
>> take that into account. Yes.
>> Yeah. Yeah. Because it seems like that's
what's happening, what's coming
regardless. um
in the sorry in the general fund
on the revenue side
I just was curious this is something I
don't know or understand is the fines
and there seem to be if I'm reading this
right a pretty big increase in fines
from
quarter two of FY25
to
the um end of estimate.
So, I'm just wondering what what that
increase in fines is or
>> the increase from
>> from let's see from
13691.
>> Mhm.
>> That was the end of fiscal year 25.
>> Correct.
>> Or that was the quarter two of fiscal
year 25.
>> That was what?
>> Quarter two of fiscal year 25,
>> right?
>> Yes.
>> Yeah.
>> And then the end of year estimate.
Okay. Sorry. I realize I'm comparing
apples to oranges. Never mind.
Apologize. We get that
>> is estimating growth in that line.
>> Gotcha. Okay.
>> But it's that that 35,000 numbers that
you're in as difference is estimate.
>> Gotcha. Okay. Thank you. And then the
legislative budget.
Now I can't find it. Where is that? What
page is that?
What page is it?
>> 10 or 11 depending if you're looking at
the detail or the summary.
>> Okay, there we go. Okay. And so what um
is that city council?
>> Yes. Correct.
>> Okay. All right. And so I assume that's
something we're going to be talking
about at some point so that we know
what's in our budget. What's what's
>> that? There's some other um boards of
commissions um primarily Historic
Preservation Commission. um they're in
your budget this year as well. Some
other kind of miscellaneous things as
well, but yeah.
>> Okay. And I remember that was it the
housing study I think was placed in our
budget. It
>> was placed in city's budget.
>> Okay. Yeah.
>> I provide you in detail on kind of
what's in your budget. Okay. But
certainly
>> I don't know now, but maybe it's you
know when we have our retreat later in
the year with something we can just
focus on. Um
» okay. The other things I think I'll ask
department folks. Thank you. I
appreciate it. Jessica,
>> I have one more thing. Sorry, cuz Susie
brought it up. The fines, is that just
like traffic violations or is that also
property fines or
>> So, the cases
>> anything. Okay, sounds good. Thank you.
>> Any other questions?
>> Thank you, Jess.
>> Say it every time, but she knows it is
backwards and forwards. Terrific job.
Item seven, second reading ordinance
7.1,
2026 FIFA World Cup Tournament, an
ordinance exempting the city of
Warsburg, Missouri from the provisions
of section 311.2026
RS Missouri regarding hours for liquor
licenses to sell, serve, and allow the
consumption of alcoholic beverages
during the 2026 FIFA World Cup
tournament. Presented by Michael D.
Sprag, city manager. Thank you, Mayor
and Council. Um, I'm going to take the
liberty of being brief, but I'll be
happy to answer any additional questions
you might have. But, um, I'm sure you
recall that we had a public hearing, uh,
two meetings ago where there's
opportunity, there's a survey conducted
ahead of that. There's an opportunity to
address you and then you as the council
to give staff direction on how you'd
like to proceed. Um, then your last
meeting, we brought forth an ordinance
and with a lot of different options. you
ultimately amended that to opt out of
the state's statute that extends liquor
license uh hours of sale um essentially
23 hours a day for the entire duration
FIFA World Cup. That just predates their
play with the the date range of the FIFA
World Cup. So, what's in your packet is
the ordinance as amended on first
reading at your last meeting. um knowing
that there was conversation about
alternatives and and trying to assist
you if you wanted to pursue a different
option. Uh you'll see that the options
provided in the staff report are very
lengthy. Um essentially they are what
would need to be said as a motion if you
wanted to pursue something other than if
you want to make an amendment to the
ordinance. So if you leave the ordinance
un amended when we pass it on second
reading we are opting out of um the
extended hours and if you want to do
something other than that then option
one um and there's exempting us option
two would be extending the hours of sale
on the dates the FIFA match play in
Kansas City. Option three would be
extending the hours of sale on the match
play dates and FanFest dates. Option
four would be extending it for the full
range of dates which if you do nothing
you you got the state adoption in place
for 23 hours a day. So in the instance
of option number four you would need to
specify some different time frame if
that's what you wanted to do. So uh
recapping
um we surveyed the liquor license
holders. We worked with the Star Journal
and ran front page article about it.
conducted a public hearing that you
called up at a at last uh city council
meeting. The notice that before you is a
action that you took on the first
reading at your last meeting. So if you
pass that, you're opting out extended
hours entirely and then the various
scenarios of options are there for you
to have report.
Be happy to kind of answer any questions
you might have.
>> Did have a question on your uh fiscal
impact. She mentioned $3,500 a week for
two additional officers. And I guess my
first question in that is, do we send
officers home already at 130 when the
bars close or what what are those
additional officers that we would be
seeing?
So, our schedules are 12-hour shifts. If
where you're extending these hours, I
will have to look at uh extra staffing.
Um signing up from basically 10 till
whenever the bars close at night. We
used to run uh four to six people
downtown um for bar closing at all
times. Um we don't have to do that
anymore. Um in Celia's world, um
everything's pretty well been calm down
there. So, we're we would be looking at
planning if all the bars are open for
all the hours, then I would look at all
right, if there's two bars open, I need
two officers for that bar. If there's
four, however many in the downtown area
that's going to be open, I would have
two assigned per bar being open at that
time, frame. So,
>> so do you already
>> we would be doing overtime for that? Do
you already intend to have officers down
there? Just be additional officers
>> additional officers
>> after 1:30
>> around 10:00 depending on what's what's
going on
>> whether they're open regular hours or
whether they're open extended hours.
You're going to have those officers
>> um they do spot checks now. Um they're
not down on foot that whole time now.
But during that if we're having issues
then I would Yes. If we're having issues
so I have a plan for what is.
>> Yeah. Absolutely. And your costs $3,500
a week for the two officers. Um, and
that's fully burdened with taxes and
retirement, all that.
>> Time and a half at the $21 an hour. We
put it around that $30. That's on the
lower end of of our officers. Say our
middle middle end of officers sign up
for that could be at 24 $25 an hour. So,
we have to go up even more on the
overtime side.
>> Thank you.
>> Try to do it on the low side of it. I
appreciate it. Thanks.
And if we um if we opt out and keep
normal liquor license hours, liquor
serving hours, there wouldn't be need
for additional
uh the students are gone.
>> If if we're not seeing issues, then no.
>> But if if there are issues in a course,
>> then we'd have to do some sign up and
sign over time. So is it can we assume
that if we opt out and we just have the
6:00 in the morning to
1:30 1:30
that uh with the students being gone and
then uh FIFA people here celebrating
uh maybe before they go to Kansas City
um and then maybe celebrating for a
couple hours when they come back that
there shouldn't be really a great need
because they're I'm well I'm assuming
they're adults and they'll act like
adults
>> and you know what happens when you
assume
>> that's exactly right. You're I'm I'm not
assuming them. I'm not just watching and
kind of what's going on.
>> If it seems like we're going to have
issues then we'll set up more for it.
But right now we haven't been having
issues down there. So
>> um like I said back 10 years ago we ran
four to six officers during bar closing.
But when we were having issues, we'd
bring people in at 10:00 and you could
work overtime from 10:00 till 2:30, 3:00
in the morning until bars got closed
down and then people would be in the
streets uh waiting waiting to go home
playing their music file. So we'd
usually be down there 2:30 and 3:30.
>> Okay. And if they need additional
drinks, they could just start earlier in
the day.
>> And the the games don't start till 8 at
night. They run 90 minutes.
Yeah, some start earlier and some start
some some start as early as 6 I think
and start late night till 9.
>> It's like some partying in Kansas City
hopefully not too much before they drive
back to Warren.
>> Okay, thank you. It's a lot of unknowns.
>> There's so many different variables
unknowns
>> given 3500 that sounds high, right? I
mean that's just the unknown of it. So
thank you.
>> Thank you.
What do you need for us to proceed?
>> I'll just make one comment. I think it's
pretty telling when the mayor of Kansas
City is looking to opt out um making
that decision. So, just something else
to throw out here as we make our
decision.
» Any other
open for discussion?
>> Absolutely. So, I just wanted to say
again, you know, I know my stance is
clear on it, but I just wanted to
mention kind of uh again where I stand
on it. I I do think that need to be
business friendly and leaving it up to
the businesses is important. Um we're
not saying that you need to stay open.
We're not saying that you need to stay
closed. It is a once in a-lifetime
opportunity that these businesses have
and they just don't know what they're
going to do just yet. Um, reality is we
reached out to them 3 months ahead of
time. I'm continuing to talk to these
business owners along with the general
public and the general consensus is that
I'm hearing from these business owners.
Why put extra rules on us at the moment?
Um, if we want to stay open, then we
should have that ability to stay open
for this once in a lifetime opportunity
that they have. Now, yes, Kansas City is
saying that, you know, we aren't sure.
Um, Lee Summit has said I believe that
they're going to be extending their
hours. Um, you know, I whether our
hotels are booked or not, I think that
our businesses do have an opportunity uh
across the city and we are dealing with
a lot of different cultures here. Um,
it's not just people that live in
Warrenburg, but you know, it could be
people that um are traveling through uh
whether domestically or internationally
um might want to stay in one of our
Airbnbs. Um, I know that there are
several Airbnbs around town that are
booked for World Cup uh, participants.
Some of them, they might not be getting
home until midnight. Uh, even with the
9:00 game, once you calculate in travel
time and getting out of the stadium and
everything else, you know, it it might
be late uh, and they might still want to
go party afterwards. So, I think that it
is important that these businesses have
the opportunity to uh, uh, get the extra
revenue if they can, and if they don't
want to, they don't have to. they can
stay closed as long as they follow the
ordinance and give the proper timing and
things like that. And at the end of the
day, um hopefully our public is good. We
don't have to staff the extra officers.
Uh but also, you know, we can always
come back to the table if we need to and
uh cancel that exemption if if we need
to. So, or uh cancel the extended hours
if we need to and put an exemption in
place. So
>> the ordinance also if uh if they are
going to stay open uh the one of the
options if they were going to allow them
to stay open longer they had to give
they have to give us notice in writing
and failure to do that uh they can be
ticketed uh for that. So we would know
who is supposed to be who plans to be
open uh any extended hours.
>> To clarify, council person, we wouldn't
have uh the ability to ticket them for
not notifying us just for that purpose.
Um we may have there may be a business
ticket that I could write on that, but
it would not be for that specific thing
alone. Um, also the ordinance that you
have in front of you has does not have
that option in it. The ordinance that
you have now is the one that was amended
at the last meeting which is only an opt
out. Yes, it has no other options.
>> But if we were to Max's point, if we were to pick
another one,
>> sure you could. Yeah, you could
certainly resurrect. they could be cited
for not notifying the city that they
were going to be
>> open if we were to decide to let them be
open.
>> We I at that point I would suggest that
live editing in the session is probably
not our best answer.
>> Okay. to that.
>> I guess I thought that was in
>> I think that was in an example
ordinance.
>> An example from
>> but it has not been built into
>> I see. Okay.
>> And I I wholeheartedly agree and much
more amending beyond what you have here
probably need to regroup and bring it
back to you.
>> Okay.
>> All right. Yeah. Because the one that's
in front of us is
>> opting out keeping our regular hours. So
they wouldn't need to let us know one
way or the other.
>> Okay. And if we want to move forward
with what's in front of us, what do we
need to do?
>> You're on your second reading. You're in
standard procedure at this point on a
second reading ordinance. So,
>> which is just taking call for vote.
>> Yeah, you're ready to call for the vote.
If you're done with your discussion,
you're ready for the question.
>> Okay.
>> No further questions.
Any discussion?
Okay.
>> Motion to move to second reading by
title only. No, we're already there. Oh,
there already there.
Get back to where we were.
>> Totally.
Call to question.
>> Call to question.
» This is for adoption or rejections. It's
a second reading. Rydenhower.
>> No.
>> Osborne.
>> Yes.
Latari,
>> yes.
>> Jones,
>> yes.
>> Uler,
>> yes.
>> Motion carried.
>> Thank you, Max. I appreciate you point
of view.
>> No, thank you. I appreciate you
listening.
>> Item 8.1, an ordinance amending section
15-1 of the code of city ordinances for
the city of Warsburg, Missouri,
regarding park hours, presented by
Chris, the real deal parks and
recreation.
>> [laughter]
>> That always takes the nerd up to
uh but first uh uh good evening mayor
and council members and first I would
like to thank our assistant parks
recreation director Tony Albertina. Uh
he did quite a bit of work on this and
research of other cities in comparison
for the development of these ordinance
changes. Uh we reviewed these changes
with staff and also presented to the
park board with approval. um given us to
proceed on to the city council. The main
purpose of these ordinances really is
consistency which improves for uh our
overall operations and communication
with the public and all um the city
staff and boards believe across uh the
city. It will be a very positive thing.
As stated in the memo uh in the first
ordinance, the um open and closing hours
um are are different um throughout our
nine parks. This is confusing to the
public and also internal staff. So, this
ordinance changes two things. One, it
makes all parks opening from 5:00 am 10
pm. And two, it allows the parks and
recreation director or designate to
approve any exceptions for programs or
events. A good example of this would be
if there is a term or sporting events,
it might run past 10:00 um which could
be um approved at that level. staff
would always of course follow the
established policies of the park board
and this makes it so a request does not
have to go back to the park board. Give
you an example of a request is made on
the 29th of uh April and the 28th. We
just had our meeting and you have to
wait another whole month. You take the
chance to lose program and also revenue.
And again, this is consistent with what
other cities do and um parks and
recreation board approves. and I'll
answer any questions you may have.
» Just a question about how that might
affect uh PD if they do patrols. I I
don't I don't know what if it's common
to have to go
>> actually will assist the PD because uh a
lot of times they're so it was so
inconsistent on closing some was uh sun
down and some
>> 11:00. So that gives us consistency for
help unlock gates or any of that type of
stuff.
>> Makes sense. Okay. Thank you.
>> Do you get common calls or do you get a
lot of calls on park hours? Does people
staying after
>> staying after on park hours?
>> Yeah.
>> Um that varies. It varies. uh when
patrolling if the if the gates aren't
locked, we can go down all evening to
middle of the night and find people down
in there doing things they shouldn't be
doing. So, um if they get consistent and
have the gates locked that they'll pass
some stuff down.
That was definitely seen as the most positive thing is uh the ease um
for the police chief to be able to tell
the staff it's 5 to 10.
>> Yeah.
>> And then have to open a book and see you
know when the next time is they know it.
>> What time is sundown today? Yeah.
>> And I will just add one more thing. Um
having uh K Hall open at mid till
midnight um has been a problem. So the
10 o'clock is going to help. We've added
additional lighting out there. So, it
would be a big help for us.
>> A question on the additional lighting
out at Cape Hollow. Is it on a timer?
So, it'll shut it up at 10.
>> Uh, it's it is on time. On timer, so it
comes on um when it's dark, it goes off
the dawn.
>> It goes off at 10 or whatever you set it
to go off at.
>> Oh, no. Uh, it uh
>> or it says dust the dawn.
>> Dust it on. Okay. Thank you. That's all
I needed.
The question I have just on hours and
kind of where the limits are, if
somebody's walking through like
Shepherd's Park for example, late at
night, being on the sidewalk or being on
the road is not breaking this ordinance,
but if you were to step onto the grass,
it would. Is that how I understand that?
Or where's the line drawn exactly on
being on private property and just being
on that ement?
Yeah, that that's that would be the way
I would interpret it for court purposes
is if no different than private property
in general. The sidewalk in front of a
house is not the house, not the sidewalk
would be the house's property. So,
>> okay.
>> Yeah.
>> So, you'll have signage going up at each
park now with the hours.
>> Yes. This will allow us to be consistent
in putting all of these same hours at
every single park entrance
>> um for everyone to kind of get used to
that. Those are the hours.
» Any other questions? We have a first and
second.
>> Motion to move to uh second reading by
title only.
>> Rydenhower,
>> yes.
>> Osborne,
>> yes.
>> Lati,
>> yes.
>> Jones,
>> yes. Uler.
>> Yes.
>> An ordinance amending section 15-1 of
the code of city ordinances of the city
of Warrenburg, Missouri regarding park
hours. This is for adoption or
rejection. Rydenower,
>> yes.
>> Osborne,
>> yes.

>> yes.
>> Jones,
>> yes.
>> Uler,
>> yes.
>> Thank you.
» Item 8.2, two, an ordinance amending
section 15-2 of the code of city
ordinances of the city of Warrenburg,
Missouri regarding archery. Chris De
uh this ordinance having to do with
archery would um authorize parks and
recreation director or designate um for
areas to be approved archery related
activities and also areas that that is
being performed. Really this is no
different than the the uh the current
ordinance. The only change is makes so
the director um ordin
uh can provide approval following the
ordinances versus having to go back to
park board once again. And this is
consistent with other cities and also
park board approves this direction. And
I'll answer any questions you may have.
>> This is basically to take care of um the
annual deer hunt.
>> Oh yes, good question. Um actually um
this makes it so doing the annual deer
hunt is it's ongoing. It's something
that we can approve and do.
>> Yes.
>> Perfect.
Motion to move to second reading by
title.
>> Rydenower.
>> Yes.
>> Osborne.
>> Yes.
>> Latari.
>> Yes.
>> Jones.
>> Yes.
>> Muler.
>> Yes.
An ordinance amending section 15-2 of
the code of city ordinances of the city
of Lawrenburg, Missouri regarding
archery. This is for adoption or
rejection. Rhydenower,
>> yes.
>> Osborne,
>> yes.
>> Latari,
>> yes.
>> Jones,
>> yes.
>> Uler,
>> yes.
>> Thank you.
Item 8.3, an ordinance amending section
15-3 of a city of the code of city
ordinances of the city or written 30
regarding posting signs. Chris Steel.
Uh section 15 uh3 currently restricts
the posting of signage uh within the
parks to duly authorized personnel in
the performance of their duty and does
not provide a mechanism for temporary
signage related to events, programs or
community activities. And so this
restriction does protect park
infrastructure and and aesthetics, but
it also limits the ability to
effectively communicate with park users
at times. So the proposed amendment was
made that the director designate um make
an exception if need deemed necessary
and the park board reviewed this and
once again approved this ordinance
change.
In reading this, um, I understand it to
allow the park, uh, the park department
to place advertising signage for events,
upcoming events or a new class or
whatever to place it on park uh,
property,
uh, whether it's inside the, uh,
rightway or not.
uh and by only allowing uh park
department to have signage
uh in the easement or
inside the the what the inside of the
sidewalk. Uh it makes it easier for uh
whoever's enforcing signage on the other
city property or or anywhere in the city
uh to keep it uh from becoming confusing
during we have a lot of signs going up
uh inside the easement and other places
where people are advertising their
business or they're advertising some
other thing. We have elections coming up
in a year. We're going to have signs all
over the place by having this uh in
force. The park department should be the
only ones that would be allowed to put a
sign in their um right away. Anybody
else
would not and it would only be on park
department
uh property. Is that what I'm
understanding?
>> I understand where you're headed with
that. I have to be honest. We need to be
consistent. I I'd have to know what our
prior interpretations were about
placement of signage and rights of way
and easements and but whatever whatever
we would authorize here I would want to
make sure we're applying consistently as
it relates to election signings or uh
primarily election signs but
[clears throat]
>> your your current ordinance prohibits
all posting of signs
>> even if they're not
>> it shall be unlawful for any person to
post a fix place or inscribe Any hand to
build poster card, sign device or
inscription to or upon or against any
fence, structure, tree
doesn't say anything about rideway.
>> Is that just parks and wreck?
>> Uh
>> that's for the city.
>> That's all. Yeah. Well, it's it's under
parks and recreation.
>> Yeah. Okay. But
>> fence structure tree
>> for the city.
I think we need to be really careful and
consistent
that the we're allowing through this
ordinance the park department to put
signs up pretty much wherever they want
on park department property.
But when it comes to other signs that
are not related to the park department,
>> any place else within the city, they
have to be outside of the rightway.
What we we had problems
uh two years ago where people were
putting them in the easement, then we
got word out everybody moved them from
the easement into inside the sidewalk.
But we had a lot of signage and we just
need to be consistent
>> and and so much so that you if we don't
allow that in right of way elsewhere I
wouldn't interpret this is giving the
parks department.
>> Okay. So then they need to make sure
their signs are inside of the on the
inside part of the sidewalk or at least
7 foot from the edge of the street. I
apologize, but I don't know off the top
of my head what our code says. The state
I used to work in specifically allowed
election signed in right away because of
a dispute with one particular
legislator. So, it was a very odd
>> I think it's at least 10 feet from the
street and at least five feet from
another property.
>> What I would say whatever we whatever
standards we call any other sign we can
imply it's sign.
>> Yes. All we're doing is giving the parks
director the authority to allow an event
to put up directional signage,
concessions, stand, right, hang banners
on up to fences
>> property. Yeah.
>> Um, so I guess
>> this ordinance is the 153 is in the
parks ordinance. Your sign regulations
is in article 9. It's section 27. It's a
totally different section.
>> Yeah. And the answer to what can you do
is like any good legal question, it
depends on design or dependation, right?
>> There are several different
>> categories here. So it's not signs, it's
sizes. Do they have lights? Do they not
have lights? Are they affixed? Are they
temporary? Are they So there's a lot of
different
>> for those kind of temporary yard signs
though, I think it's
>> right
>> pretty close to that. So that could be a
conversation at a different time where
we clarify what can happen uh in the
city
when we
>> I wouldn't recommend that we treat
ourselves any differently that we
>> so that we're consistent
>> they're consistent with what we do but
right now we're not sure if it's 7 foot
10 foot
>> it's it's clear in the ordinance
>> we just you know
>> yeah we just don't
>> I can't find what you're
>> talking about Chris mostly like a yard
write a temporary like hey there's a lot
of sides right
>> yeah just outside the rightway
>> right
>> generally the rightway is in general
>> a no go
>> this could be an example um to answer
your question like um a city partner
that the hospital or something has
something at that particular park and
they will put up signs you know like
that say something like this pavilion
it's right here you know whatever
nothing out the street or anything it's
within the park So that would be um an
example, but I just certainly am uh in
total agreeance to doing exactly what's
right within the city.
>> Um we just wanted to bring this forward
to be consistent with
>> approval from the director.
[clears throat] What we have right now
is we have a set of regulations for
signs in the city at large. We then have
for the parks specifically, we have a
rule that says, "Thou shalt not post
signs that are
let me let me get this.
Shall not post,
affix,
place, or inscribe
to, or upon a fence, structure, or tree.
So you can't put your sign on something
in a park. Under this regulation, you
absolutely could have a a standalone
sign, right, that says 40th birthday
party here, and that would be just fine
because it would be temporary. If it was
left, you could be that could be an
ordinance violation at that point. This
would then amend 1513 specifically to
allow for the parks department to aix
signs to things because they could put
out temporary signs. Now, this will
allow them to put up a permanent type
sign or a more permanent type sign.
>> But whenever you say I apologize,
but the temporary sign would not be
allowed here because they cannot post.
>> Well, that depends on what the
definition of is is
» posting would typically be some way that
it is that you you post a bill. posting
is actually I mean truly a posted sign
would be probably painted on the post or
tacked onto a post. So it's it's old
timey language. So posting of a sign it
would be some type of semi-permanent or
permanent fixture unto something not
just placing generally speaking. So now
if it said place I would agree with you.
[clears throat]
>> So do we feel like this ordinance is
actually going to do what we are trying
to do here?
Yeah, it's post to fix place or inscribe
a handle.
>> Yeah, it does say place, right? It has
that word on the end of it. So, I think
anyone that wants to put up signage in
the parks department means the park
>> I think that's right. I missed the word
place. Good catch.
>> So, nice. they can give um another
organization
permission to place their sign within
the park area because that organization
is doing a
event that's going to happen at the
community center or it's going to happen
at the pavilion. It's going to have
happen with something to do with the
park, but they they're not going to be
able to give permission to
um yeah,
>> some electrician or plumber or somebody
else to put his or her sign up in the
park department because that has nothing
to do with park activities.
>> And that the way that this is worded,
the new wording of it absolutely allows
for all of that to happen. Yes.
allows for them to let the the
electrician or the plumber
>> parks and recreation director and
authorized representative may grant
written approval for exceptions. So it
would
come as a written approval to grant an
exception to it.
>> I think it it's dependent on how they
apply themselves. I mean, if I
understand your scenario correctly, if
you're having a softball tournament and
one of your sponsors is electrical
company and they want to put up a banner
on the outfield fence as a sponsor, they
could probably do that. If they want to
permanently place an electrical an
advertising sign for their business, I
would hope that we all apply ourselves
in such a way that we say
>> completely. And I think the wording
here, and that was an important part of
the wording, um, when I did my review,
is it's uh, approved events, programs,
or community activities. So, it's not a
blanket signage. It's it has to be for
the thing that it's for.
>> Okay. access.
>> I could see like uh if following the
softball example, if it was a seasonl
long, you know, team sponsor or
something like that that was or somebody
local company wanted to pay for all of
the dues for the T-ball program or
something like that and asked if they
could put a sign out for the season.
>> That would be
>> that might I don't I don't know. I'm not
the parker, but that might be okay.
Something like that.
>> Yeah. And it's it's customary to have uh
sponsors posters on fences.
>> Y
» the subtle part of this is this
authorizes park staff to remove those
signs after over
>> Yeah. Okay.
>> extended conversation about taking it
down.
>> Right.
>> And most businesses those signs are not
cheap. I mean they're not crazy
expensive anymore, but they're not free.
So, you know, there's an incentive to go
get your sign.
>> Well, sorry to keep on
>> No, good question.
>> But also, so John Doe wants to have his
50th birthday says birthday this way
sign. Is that going to have to be
>> separate from his application for the
event? He's going to have to submit also
another thing that says I want to place
a sign. He would not be allowed to just
place a sign there. Same birthday this
way. Perhaps that could be put into the
application for the
>> Okay,
>> it's a great point.
>> But any kind of sign even that type of
stuff would be included in this
>> technically.
>> Okay.
>> So, make sure I'm the on the same page
and we're doing what you're what you're
needing for your department. So,
>> yes. And um I mean if there's a revision
that we need to make on the application,
it would certainly be consistent.
I don't think there is a revision to be
made. I I don't know, Council Member
Jones, if that's correct or not, but I I
just want to make sure it's doing what
you intended to do. And we're also going
to align with our other ordinances we
already have in place.
>> This definitely does not impact the
other ordinances that we have because it
is very very much specific to parks. So,
it doesn't do anything to the other
side.
>> I Yes. And I think I think we've
explained it enough that
the ordinances that pertain to other
signs throughout the city we have the
how many feet where it can be.
>> Oh, that's very Yeah.
>> Very clear.
>> Incredibly specific. And it spells out
different types of signs and sizes.
>> Yeah.
>> So, we just need to make sure that we're
enforcing that. And if park is um aware
of some of those things, they can kind
of try to prevent uh
anything that's obviously gonna
upset somebody's apple cart.
Um, is it possible, this is not having
to do anything to do with this
ordinance, but since we talked about
signs so much, can we get a small just
little overview on what sign ordinance
looks like in the city at large, I
>> sections 27-500 through 27-506.
>> Yes. And I'm and I'm in there and I will
continue to research. We talk about
rightways and things like that, too. And
I haven't seen that yet in this section,
but I will do some more research outside
of our meeting on that. But I was just
curious if we get a quick make sure that
we are kind of aligning with our
thoughts.
>> What we have currently produced, but we
trust that.
>> Thank you.
>> To Max Max's point, um,
if we had I hate to drag this on. If we
had uh like postcard that just showed
that you know your sign can be here or
it can look like this but you can't do
this.
>> It's not too I think the the level of
details can be such
>> too much. Okay, never mind.
>> Any other questions for Chris on this?
>> Move to second rating by title only.
» Ridenower.
>> Yes. Osborne,
>> yes.
>> Latari,
>> yes.
>> Jones,
>> yes.
>> Uler,
>> yes.
>> An ordinance amending section 15-3 of
the code of city ordinances of the city
of Warrenburg, Missouri, regarding
posting signs. This is for adoption or
rejection. Rydenower,
>> yes.
>> Osborne,
>> yes.
>> Latari,
>> yes.
>> Jones,
>> yes.
>> Mueller,
>> yes.
>> Thank you.
Don't leave yet. [laughter]
>> Item 824,
ordinance amending section 15-4
of the code of city ordinances of the
city of Orangeburg, Missouri regarding
animals. Chris,
>> this ordinance has to do with care of
animals. Uh the ordinance remains really
the same um that is existing no harming,
mistreating animals. A new addition that
prohibits the feeding of animal periods
uh for reasons of health to the animals
as well as park users regarding
potential aggressiveness and health
reasons. This is consistent with
Missouri conservation in regards to
feeding wild animals. Um this ordinance
does allow u though for fishing and also
the annual deer hemp uh as approved by
the director and that's an example that
is also approved by the park board and
kind of to city council or final
approvement. This basically is an
ordinance that stays pretty much the
same with the exception of adding the
prohibiting feeding animals. So we could
post that sign.
» Any questions for Chris on this?
>> Move to second reading by title only.
>> Thank you.
>> Renau,
>> yes.
>> Osborne,
>> yes.
>> Latari,
>> yes.
>> Jones,
>> yes.
>> Uler,
>> yes.
>> And the ordinance amending section 15-4
of the code of city ordinances of the
city of Warrenburg, Missouri regarding
animals. This is for adoption or
rejection. Rydenower,
>> yes.
>> Osborne,
>> yes.
>> Latari,
>> yes.
>> Jones,
>> yes.
>> Mueller,
>> yes.
>> Thank you.
Chris, would you like to do
this one more time?
>> Yeah.
>> An ordinance amending section 15-5
of the Cody City ordinances of the city
of Warrenburg, Missouri regarding
swimming presented by Chris. Again, this
uh this ordinance has to do with uh the
swimming and um is it the same? It's the
same that there are no no swimming uh as
posted. U the proposed amendment allows
parks and recreation dire excuse me
director or designate uh to make an
exception to this as necessary but it
would be for only safe and effective
operations. Um I can think of one
example is on this and um regarding uh
cardboard boat races that have been
requested with us before out of Lion's
Leg uh from different groups, mostly
college groups. Uh but we have used the
indoor pool at NASA in these events
because of our current uh but I've been
in other cities that have used legs and
they absolutely love it. So I'm not
saying that's something that we would do
depending on the circumstances in
regards to liability insurance guidance
and all of that kind of stuff, but this
just really keeps it consistent with the
director has the opportunity to make
this decision. So once again, that's the
only change in this particular
ordinance, but it remains to go swimming
and I'll answer any questions.
>> Any questions?
>> No questions.
>> N. So, nobody should be swimming,
waiting, or bathing.
» Pardon?
>> No one should be swimming, waiting, or
bathing in any pond or pool or stream.
>> All of those.
>> Yes.
>> And just to be clear, that's just on
parks and wreck land. So, if they had a
pond in their backyard, nobody's
stopping anybody from jumping in at
Lakeidge
» Not in your jurisdiction. Okay.
>> Move to separating by title only.
>> Ridenower.
>> Yes.
>> Osborne.
>> Yes.
>> Latari.
>> Yes.

>> Yes.
>> Muler.
>> Yes.

>> Thank you. Thank you, Chris. Tony, thank
you also for your work on this.
>> Thank you.
>> Item 9.1, a resolution authorizing the
disposable this the disposal of
city-owned property presented by Mike
Scrag. Change of
>> presenter here present this on keepings.
If you throw in curve balls, I'm going
to have to ask you to postpone another
meeting. But I think it's fairly
straightforward. As we change out
equipment and uh do routine maintenance,
we end up with surplus equipment, things
that are kind of run their useful life
for us. Um and the state of Missouri has
made provision that we can donate those
or sell those to other agencies without
any liability. That's a big concern in
terms of any assurance that you might be
making if you transfer that equipment.
So, uh rest assured that there's no
liability that goes with it. We have 20
sections of one and 3/4 inch fire hose,
eight fire nozzles, and a utility rope
and bag that are surplus for us. The
Montro Missouri Fire Department's
expressed interest in it in the
resolution before you would authorize
donating it to the Montro Fire
Department.
>> I move to approve the resolution.
» Rydenower,
>> yes.
>> Osborne,
>> yes.
>> Lati,
>> yes.
>> Jones,
>> yes. Uler.
>> Yes.
» Item 10, appearances to the council not
listed on the agenda.
There's no one wanting to appear.
No one. All right. Item 11,
miscellaneous matters from the mayor
andor city council.
» Yay.
City staff update. City staff update.
city manager.
>> I don't have a lot. Uh, as I think you
know, I traveled last week um to city
manager conference and then got back and
then turned around and traveled to
strategic deterrence coalition symposium
in Alexandria, Virginia. That was very
informative for me. I traveled with four
other members of the way area leadership
council. I ended up with a nationwide
um symposium. There were a lot of
fourstar and three star generals there
speaking about the nuclear deterrent. um
and represent I don't I can't say with
confidence on every base but it seemed
as if they're representative of every
base and installation related to nuclear
missiles, airplanes or submarines. So uh
gave you a lot of context um
and nothing top secret nothing uh that a
civilian like myself couldn't hear but
it gave me a lot more context in terms
of the mission and how life fix it.
Thank you for represent out there.
>> Yeah, just happy to go along and learn
quite a bit as much from the other
attendees as presentations.
>> Great. Thank you.
>> Administrative services department.
>> So quick. Um so the legend came out a
couple weeks ago. Hope you all enjoyed
that. I love getting about so thank you
for that opportunity, Chris. Um our
popular annual financial report um is on
our website. It's simply kind of a user
friendly summary of the part of the
audit report that you guys all heard at
your last date. Just wanted to plug
that. And then um as the HR person, we
had an open enrollment last week for all
of our employees. Those meetings are
well attended. Is there a chance to
learn about all the benefits that we
offer? Absolutely. Those are passing up.
That's it for me.
>> Thank you.
Uh city clerk.
>> Uh nothing for me tonight.
>> Community development. Barbara.
>> Well, it took me a minute to find this
ordinance, so not to belabor the point,
but
>> but
way is section 14- I
signs on private property 27-500.
>> Chapter 14 for reference is offenses.
>> Yes.
>> Thank you.
for that information. Um,
>> I was going to say sign questions should
all
and then just as you know we'll have the
Memorial Day holiday coming up and that
will delay our service routes for trash
collection, recycling, all of our solid
waste services by one day. Monday will
be picked up on Tuesday, Tuesday and
Wednesday and so forth. Um, we have had
a significant increase in the number of
people signing up for our texting
emailing service since the legend came
out. So, we have 199 people signed up
right now. We'll get a notice about that
the day before their trash is nice.
>> That's probably about 24 36 hour notice
that. So,
>> thanks for doing that.
>> Yeah, that's great.
>> Quick question about the housing count.
Is that something that that maybe the
city had at some point long ago and it's
just very hard to keep on top of as far
as how many actual housing units are
within city limits because it seems like
that's something that we don't that's
not a kind of a known number
>> related to solid waste or related to
just
>> really I really just in general I mean
it's the question came to my mind
because of solid waste because
that the number of households serves
serve changes. I know that obviously
with new units and units going offline,
but do we have like a a running tally of
how many housing units are in the city?
>> We do. No, we don't have an official
list. We had um
we had the census estimates and which is
what we originally based our solid waste
RFP and proposed contract off of. And
then you have um
probably a fairly accurate list
based on your sewer accounts
>> which is actually based off of our water
accounts that we get from Missouri
American water who does not make it easy
for us to say this is our number.
>> We have had this question multiple times
and
>> we can't get a clear this is our number.
And then when you throw multif family
units in whether they're up and
available for rents and
>> for sure. Yeah. I I think if
>> if this community and communities that
have a very accurate solid number would
be communities that have occupancy
permits
uh and require an annual or every
fiveyear inspection or something like
that. occupancy of all units, not just
like we have a certificate of occupancy
we issue at the end of a permit, but
there are cities that require all
resolution
of an annual occupancy license.
>> Gotcha.
>> And you'd have to have a system like
that, I think. Yeah. and very very good
compliance and strong enforcement
>> extra staff
>> in order to keep a very accurate number.
Yeah,
>> the number it while you see that number
move on our house count that truly can
be a factor of just move in move out.
>> Yeah. I I mean that's not if we saw
swings of a thousand I would really
worry but when we're seeing a swing of
it's it's not worrisome to staff or to
our contracts.
>> Okay. Thank you for explaining that. I
appreciate it.
>> That uh being said on the housing, would
a housing study solve that issue?
>> It'll do an inventory housing as a as
you see it from the street, but it still
wouldn't necessarily know how many units
are in it and how many they they have
access to some census data and they'll
look at utility, but they're still going
to kind of be interpolating the number.
So the census is kind of the the best
number to go off of.
>> Yeah, but it's a little dated
CS is question.
» Understood. Thank you.
Fire department. Mike, how you doing?
>> All right.
>> Again, parks.
>> Parks department.
>> Yeah.
>> Oh, we've seen enough of them.
>> Gonna make it real quick. Uh first of
all our last couple Rhythm Cutings
Community Center and also out of Hun
Park for 21st century. Thank you for all
those who attend uh very nice to have
those events. Uh the coming this coming
Thursday uh noon ribbon cutting at the
Marian Hancock tennis courts uh
renovation and also six new pickle ball
courts donated by the Blaine uh Witworth
Foundation.
Then the following Thursday will be the
ribbon cutting for the Lions Lake
project on Thursday at 12:00 noon on the
21st. Also, um a special appointment
committee was set up by the park board
to review various policies and programs
offerings that uh um came up with a
couple items and things that were
approved by the park board. One is uh
there's going to be higher education for
the fact all seniors that have Medicaid
and Medicare to let them know they
qualify for Silver Speakers or Renew
Active and uh some know this but not
all. So we're going to really make an
effort to do that. This will help with
those in financial need. So those
insurance companies pay for those. The
other also is uh a show of gratitude our
War Mornsburg area seniors for all um
that they contribute to the community
and um as community membership promotion
actually the park board has approved for
each Thursday to be declared senior day
at the community center and the facility
is going to be free of use. They can use
any area in the community center. Um
this is a pilot program that's going to
start May 21st. pilot means not forever
but it will continue until further
notice. Um the idea is that the seniors
enjoy coming and walking the track of
that particular day. Also there's a
certain Thursday that's fried chicken
day that's very popular ought to be
pretty filled and hopefully one spouse
will hit the other one and say we need
to join all the time so they're not
coming one time therefore we expand our
membership. That's our selfish side but
the giving side is what the park would
want to do. Um also um Parkport uh
included they would like to have uh a
new position in our programming. Uh my
first words if we can afford it and that
would be u a programmer that would be
working closer with senior programming
uh the differently aabled and community
uh special events specifically at the
community center. So that idea is in
works. Um and the last update I want to
give is Lance Lake. Well, we have had an
issue with the fountain at uh at at the
uh at the lake and it needs a part
that's on backward. Right now, it's
running and uh but as soon as that burns
out, the fountain's got to stop. So, I
hope that a piece of equipment comes in
quickly. It's like a fuse. Um, we're
looking at uh possibly replacing that
fountain at some point in the near
future, but right now I just want you to
know if it goes out, we're doing the
best we can to have that come in. Um,
also you may have noticed already that
the plant life and algae is already
starting to blossom. I mean, quickly.
Uh, it's earlier than I have seen it. I
called and talked to Missouri
conservation and also uh, Blue Belly
Laboratories who we work with. Uh they
let me know that it's this way across um
Missouri and other areas. Uh very cool
season, a lot of heavy rain. Now comes
the sunshine and comes the bloom. We
also have a double whammy from that
dredging actually provides very fertile
soil for rapid growing plant life.
>> So you see it out there quickly. Um
>> Friday when I was out there it was like,
"Oh, this looks so beautiful." Monday
morning early I drove. I said, "Oh my
gosh." And so it goes very quickly and
it's coming in very fast. Um as a
solution um working with both Missouri
conservation and laboratories of an
approved process. We've done copper
sulfate before and that is approved.
There's also a uh product called Gallian
SC and this goes directly to the areas
where the algae grows and and both
Missouri conservation and of course this
company of the laboratories. Uh it is
safe for the fish and wildlife. So we're
going to try to I've asked for those
applications to be made as soon as
possible. We've done it for the last few
years. We've usually done it u in June
and July, but now this has come quicker
than it ever has. But I just want you to
know that we're on as quickly as we can
to try to keep that so it doesn't uh
stop kids from fishing, you know. So,
I'll answer any questions you need about
that.
>> Any timeline on stocking the lake?
>> Oh, yes. Um, yes and no. Yes. I calling
Missouri Conservation Weekly and they
were telling me, "You're on the
schedule. You're on the schedule." They
of course were going around to all these
different lakes because the process, the
time and the rain, different things that
stop them. They can't tell me the exact
time, but we are on their schedule. I
put in a very early request, as in right
as soon as we started draining the lake
last year, and so hopefully it'll be
coming soon. I will tell you that there
are fish there um with the overflow from
Ple. Um I've seen little fish in there
and I saw one jumping. So, but stocking
it's going to be much better, but it's
coming soon and I will definitely inform
everyone as soon as that truck comes.
>> Thank you.
>> All right. Thank you.
>> Thanks.
» Public works department.
>> No, please.
>> Oh, please.
[laughter]
» Uh just wanted to address uh let you
know all the rain that we had. Windows
still sealed up and stairway.
Now, the door, the lash downstairs,
we're working on that. The door kind of
lets a little water in, but that's we're
working on that. But anyway, pretty
pleased on them windows. So, then just
so you're aware, we've deployed the new
speed trailer out. Um it's up in Cahill
right now. Um, we were looking at
getting rid of the old one, but once we
actually got it working, uh, while we
were order ordering the new one, we've
deployed it out as well. It's down off
of old Ridge View Drive um, in the
school school area um, where the bridge
cross down there. So, right now we have
two of them. We'll monitor the older one
because we've had a lot of issues with
that over the years, but it's working
pretty decent amount. the new UTV side
by side that we were officers made an
arrest out of it last night. They're
actually training training on it. Uh
figuring out how to operate it, pulled
out of the PD and uh they end up taking
a guy who been identified
>> with some pretty hard criminals and got
a gun off street with us. So he was
seemed surprised uh that we were into
something like that. He took off running
from them. So pleased on that. and our
vehicles are getting ready to start
being delivered, the command staff
vehicles. Can't thank you enough for
that. Uh on the vehicle deal with the
city manager and your guys' support, we
have having vehicles drive like flies
with motors starting to go out. Um
decommission another one this week
because another motor issue. So that was
much needed. Appreciate that. Also
appreciate the support on the rifles.
They're supposed to be being delivered
this week as well. Um, can't thank you
all enough for all the equipment that
we're able to put in place. And the
solar, I believe, is almost completed.
Uh, they the build's complete and the
wiring's done, but they got
>> it's all connected, but we're waiting on
Ever to give us the PTO permission to
operate, which they say takes about 30
days. So,
>> we've had a lot going on. So,
>> yes. Anyway, thank you.
>> Quick question, Keith. I'm sorry. Um,
Blue Shield grants.
>> Yes.
>> Any updates on that?
>> The Blue Shield grant last year was what
uh bought us side by side. We put in for
the Blue Shield grant. This year we
don't know what the money is going to be
allocated for. We don't know how much
they're going to allocate or any of that
stuff yet. So,
>> do you recall when we learned last year?
Was that late summer?
>> Usually around I think June.
>> Okay.
>> Like late June, July time because we
were looking at the clock and then had
to really put our heads together and
figure out what we're going to spend
that on. So, but it's very specific of
what you can actually spend the money
on.
>> Okay.
>> So, any
>> Thanks.
>> the um has has any any of the units,
your vehicles been equipped with the um
the electronic tickets?
>> Oh, so we're having them built right
now. The vehicles are down at LA
upfitters. And when they are being
delivered, the command's going to be
having them delivered first, but the
patrol units, we're having a few of the
newer ones uh having the ones that we're
being keeping down in Clinton, they're
putting new consoles in to support the
credit ticket writers. So, we're working
on it. It just it takes a lot of time.
>> Okay, good.
>> Questions? No, but I say Keith, our
former police chief, Jean Burton, is
having some real
>> um he's he's back to Warrenburg uh at
the country club.
>> Yes. Y
>> So, didn't really want to go into a lot
of specifics last uh last time, but uh
keep them in your curse.
>> Yep.
>> Thank you.
>> Thanks, Chief.
>> Public works bill.
as chief mentioned uh the solar so all
three solars are completed up to the
point for that we're waiting on Everg to
give us commission outbreak so takes
about 30 days for that not sure what
happens in that time but we'll wait the
time and then we'll have the go-ahhead
hopefully to connect and get it done but
all three so thank you guys for getting
that done it's
90% there Um, the plant expansion's
going quite well.
Nothing major is going on. They're
installing the SPR and they're working
on the re beds. So, going well. Uh,
street department is out doing some
storm water
drain improvements. Uh, so you'll see
them throughout. And then on Wednesday,
they plan on being on Meguire to repair
those areas that people are not happy
about. I have had to comment on some
forms that, you know, this is just a
temporary fix. It is planned on being
the builds. So, had lots of issues with
that. The sidewalk program opened last
Thursday,
no, Friday, and uh we're happy with the
number that's coming in there. So we'll
be presenting that to you probably next
council meeting
so that you
okay us using the contractor that was
the low bid.
>> The sidewalk program is
>> tell me what that is. So our sidewalk
program is when we were doing zone one,
two, three.
>> Yes.
>> That that's our sidewalk program. What
we're doing with the curb and ADA, which
is where we did railroad, we did market
and stuff like that. Again, it's all
concrete work. Um, but this year the
sidewalk program, we're touching areas
where we've had some major upheavalss in
a lot of our sidewalks. So we're not
going to concentrate so much on the
zone, it's going to be hitting some
major
needed.
>> So,
>> okay.
>> You might touch on Main Street.
>> Uh Main Street, we had a sinkhole up
here
at the between Lynn and
>> Jones.
Thank you. In the Jones sub just
west of the Jones subc is what I was
looking for. But um we had a major
sinkhole. We got down, inspected it. We
got down in the cover. The floor of the
covert pretty much washed out and
allowed the area around the culbert to
be, you know, so we've got some good
size
sink holes possible. Uh we're contacting
the engineering firm, contacted the you
know person who could do the work. Uh,
it's coming back a little high. So,
we're going to be
doing our due diligence to see if we go
ahead and just repair it or if we go
ahead and rip it out and make it much
better.
>> So, you might have be actually be
putting in maybe a bridge.
>> Not a bridge. It'll still go back to a
Gold type issue, but since Maine is so
narrow, it might give us the opportunity
to go ahead and prepare for a widening
of that area in the future.
So, we go back and we build it up the
proper way and then possibly widen the
street after that portion. We're still
working on numbers and kind of ultimate
solution, but don't want to be
shortsighted and just do a cheap quick
to fix and then read it later.
>> Right.
>> That looks like our thoughts.
>> So, that is in the process. Um,
collections crew, the van is being
picked up this week to be have the
camera installed. They're looking at
return towards the end of June
hopefully. So,
it's moving along well.
The
lots of other projects throughout the
city that project management working on.
>> And quick question about the Meguire
patch. Um
>> when all of that I mean because we think
the sinking is happening because so much
earth was moved around to take all of
the utilities out and move them and all
of that. So, I'm wondering why didn't
the engineers plan for that sinking and
build something that wouldn't have sunk
as much as it did? And I I'm not asking
you to, you know, make excuses, but I'm
curious why.
>> Also, why I don't know how well it was
tested when it was going back in in that
area.
>> So, everything south of uh North Street
and everything basically little bit
north of Emerson was up to compaction
rating. I don't know if they skipped
that area or
>> I think we thought that timing would be
a little bit better.
>> I I can say the the designer and the
contractor very deliberate in saying,
you know, we're not building back this
base as it was. Yeah.
>> It started out hoping that one project
could flow into another and
>> Okay. So it was
>> more time away there. They did go ahead
and put asphalt down to make a smooth
surface and it was kind of the hope that
everything would hold together
uh onto the next project before it it
was noticeably failing and okay the
timing just
>> I knew they obviously didn't rebuild it
the way I mean on purpose
>> for sure but I thought
>> but it was because the timing just
>> took longer than
>> they were hoping it was going to hold up
longer. When is the emerging? When is
the
>> So, we're still working through
paperwork with state. Uh Joe had a
question or the state contacted Joe last
week and Joe provided those requested
information to the state last week.
We're waiting to hear back from the
state whether you know where we're at in
the process.
We're working with one engineer in the
state to get this done and seems like he
has questions. We respond that next day
and it takes a week to get back to us.
So,
slow process.
>> So, it very likely could be fall. Uh,
no. We're still looking to hopefully get
the request for proposal out,
you know, within the next month. And
then after that, it's going to be 30
days. There's going to be almost 30
days. We get all that and the contractor
will have to figure out when he's got
time. So, it could be August, it could
be September. I'm hoping August, but
>> it's a process. Um I first we got to get
the state approval. Then we have to
solicit the bids and then we account the
contractor's schedule as well as
material supplies
>> and we don't know whether or not that's
going to be capital coming back.
>> We'll put it out for a bid. So see we
get a respondent. I think capital's
interested.
>> Capital's very aware of it and familiar
with it.
>> So we've had some other uh bigger
contractors reach out and they're aware
of it too. Sure.
» Not to uh keep the meeting going, but I
do have two questions if I may. Uh going
back to the Main Street project, do we
have funds set aside for failing
infrastructure like that or is that
unbudgeted expense?
>> Yeah, we we have reserve balance that we
draw upon, but we don't have a budgeted
line item for something that large.
>> Okay. So part of that 25 year plan is to
anticipate kind of a recurring street
maintenance not I don't know we would
have well we might have anticipated that
but one thing that we really need to add
are bridges and and fox
we've been working on identifying those
and try to come up with some cost
>> uh second question would be milland
overlay project I know we were holding
off due to oil prices those have kind of
flattened out a little bit but still
kind of high. Are we gonna continue
waiting or what do you think it'll last?
>> We reached out to Advanced Asphalt and
said that we wanted we were sort of
pushing off until we got some projects
done so that whenever they come in it's
just a straight shop for them mainly
railroad uh Holton Holton Market and
some areas like that. Um so we got those
projects down now and we said okay at
the end of school season it's going to
be better for you guys to come in. Uh
they came back with the price
compared to the you know asphalt price
index. Uh they went up from I think it
was 83 don't quote me this somewhere
around $83 last year and it's only $87
this year. So not as bad. We still
probably have to cut back on some area
but Dave's mechan's looking at that and
we're going to go as soon as school's
basically out.
So that'll just be all summer. We'll be
seeing most of that.
>> Well, I I mean they're fast. I bet you
it's going to be two weeks. They'll be
>> in and out.
>> Nice.
>> But we're going to be watching them and
making sure they're doing a job that we
prove this year.
>> Yes. And follow up on that, uh I was
driving down Hawthorne and
>> quite bumpy.
>> One of those that they're going to come
back in. They're going to do what they
stated in the letter, which was first
let it warm up, roll it, see if the
rollers will help. If that doesn't work,
was that the number one option?
>> That was number one option.
>> Then the second option was something.
And then the third, they'll just replace
it if it in those two options, it
doesn't work.
>> Okay. So, that'll all be happening here
next month or so.
>> Yeah. Okay. Good deal. time frame we get
busy.
>> I like it. Thank you.
>> Good question.
>> Thanks, Phil.
>> I'm in the box.
» Good. Mayor, council members, I just
really quickly want to announce tomorrow
at 10 o'clock, um, the summer of soccer
committee will be hosting a business
performance meeting. Um, it is for local
businesses. We are providing an
opportunity to attend in person or by
Zoom. You can find the information for
the meeting um in the Zoom link. If you
go to visit warnsburg.com, it's on our
calendar. You can also find the box. We
have a little fancy little box now with
summer of soccer. If you click on that,
you can find the information about the
business meeting on that. We will be
discussing just a little bit about the
event overview about what's happening
right down the road. We'll be talking
about the local initiative which is
summer of soccer. We'll be doing like a
little checklist, things to think about,
um what an international visitor might
expect, their experience, and just a
visitor in general. We know that we've mentioned it several times, the
whatifs, what a domestic traveler coming
through. Um and again, I have to give a
shout out to our um tourism industry
partners. They make it happen year
round. Um, and and last summer we were
completely booked. I have no doubt this
summer we will be completely booked.
What's happening right down the road?
Um, but we're going to make it a great
summer. Um, absolutely no doubt. We're
going to be talking about operational
things to think about staffing and
inventory and marketing. Um just today I
had a convers two conversations with two
different um individuals about the
importance of thinking through the
intellectual property with FIFA and
World Cup and how um we just can't use
what we want to use. Um and so we're
going to talk about that and being very
conscious of of of those and then the
business resources that are available
for them. Um we there are a lot of
different resources that visit KC and um
score KC have put forth visitor um
international visitor profile studies
their gain plan that explains all about
the intellectual property what can and
cannot be used. So there's a lot of
great resources that are available. We
have a lot of great local resources
available. We have an incredible
chamber, credible Main Street, Johnson
County Economic Development. So we're
going to be doing shoutouts for them as
well. So tomorrow we'll be providing all
that information. It will be recorded
and we will be making that link
available following. Thank you. Thank
you.
>> Thank you.
>> Anything else?
