[1:32] >> Uler,

[1:33] >> yes.

[1:36] >> Got to it really quick. So, here we are.

[1:38] Proclamations. We have a couple of

[1:40] proclamations, but we have one right

[1:43] now. Proclamation for ALS awareness

[1:45] month, May 2026.

[1:48] Tony, you can come up next.

[2:00] Thank you for coming here. You guys are

[2:03] amazing what you're doing nationally and

[2:05] locally. So really appreciate it. ALS

[2:08] awareness month May 2026.

[2:11] Whereas amiotrophic lateral sclerosis

[2:14] ALS known by many as Larage disease is a

[2:18] progressive fatal neurodeenerative

[2:21] disease that attacks nerve cells in the

[2:22] brain and spinal cord making even the

[2:25] simplest movements of walking, speaking

[2:27] and gesturing difficult. And whereas

[2:30] approximately 5,600 people are diagnosed

[2:33] with ALS each year with a new diagnosis

[2:36] every 90 minutes.

[2:38] Whereas ALS strikes people regardless of

[2:41] race, ethnicity, social status, there's

[2:44] currently no known cause, means of

[2:46] prevention, or cure, making diagnosis

[2:48] difficult. Patients diagnosed with ALS

[2:51] survive only two to five years and a few

[2:53] treatments to improve quality of life.

[2:55] And whereas people who served in the

[2:56] military are twice as likely to to

[2:59] develop ALS, leading to the US

[3:02] Department of Veterans Affairs to

[3:04] recognize ALS as a service connected

[3:07] disease.

[3:09] And whereas Tony Vic, a 16-year Warsburg

[3:13] veteran, has battled ALS and defied the

[3:16] odds after being officially diagnosed on

[3:19] September 20th, 2017.

[3:22] Vic is around one of 5,000 veterans

[3:25] currently fighting ALS.

[3:28] Whereas Tony and his wife Karen Vic

[3:31] together work to raise awareness by

[3:33] sharing their story through social media

[3:35] platforms with over 500,000 followers.

[3:39] And they do this on the reality of

[3:41] living with ALS being an ALS caregiver.

[3:45] The community's response to their

[3:47] initial video went viral and the

[3:49] feedback reflected to a positive impact

[3:52] on the lives of ALS families everywhere.

[3:56] This community response led the VIX to

[3:58] an opportunity for a smart design home

[4:00] renovation to meet the needs in 2024

[4:04] through the Tunnel to Towers Foundation.

[4:07] And now therefore, I Brucey Uler, mayor,

[4:10] along with the city council of the city

[4:12] of Orangeburg, Missouri, will hereby

[4:14] proclaim the month of May 2026 as ALS

[4:17] awareness month. And we honor Tony and

[4:21] Karen Vic for giving a voice to the

[4:23] reality of living with ALS that provides

[4:26] farreaching awareness and support for

[4:28] the disease worldwide. In witness

[4:31] whereof I hear to set my hand seal this

[4:33] 11th day of May, 2026.

[4:48] Thank you very much.

[4:50] >> Get a picture.

[4:57] » Okay. Thank you so much.

[5:03] » Thank you.

[5:12] both for being here. Catching

[5:14] you.

[5:14] >> Thank you.

[5:28] seem to get the feeling it might be

[5:29] National Police Week.

[5:33] >> You come on up, please.

[5:35] >> It's either that or we're really in

[5:36] trouble.

[5:45] Always

[5:53] feel safe when you guys come here.

[5:58] » National Police Week May 10th through

[6:00] 16, 2026. Proclamation. Whereas National

[6:04] Police Week is the week of May 10th

[13:05] 11th day of May, 2026. Thank you.

[13:19] It's really

[13:44] » Hey, item 6.1

[13:46] presentation by Jessica Venderlow,

[13:49] management analyst of Q2 fiscal 26

[13:53] budget report.

[13:57] » Oh,

[14:00] that's tiny to read though, so I promise

[14:02] I'll walk you through it. Okay. Hi, good

[14:05] evening, mayor, members of the speed

[14:06] council. It's my pleasure to be before

[14:08] me tonight to present the quarter two on

[14:10] report. Um quarter two ended on March

[14:12] 31st of this year. So at the end of each

[14:14] quarter as you all know this is kind of

[14:16] you're in talk finance. Um so we talk

[14:17] about our actual kind of a single year

[14:19] compared to the prior year and then also

[14:21] compares how we're doing

[14:24] budget. My apologies that may

[14:27] sorry about so I'll kind of briefly go

[14:29] through the report um primarily focusing

[14:30] on our operating funds and some other

[14:32] things of note particularly when it

[14:34] comes to capital. Um so we always like

[14:36] to begin with our general fund.

[14:39] Good to have all that. Um, I like to

[14:40] begin with our general fund. So, that's

[14:41] going to be on page eight.

[14:44] Catch up. Um, so on the revenue side,

[14:47] um, our operating revenue is on track to

[14:50] meet or exceed budget. Um, sales tax has

[14:52] been strong thus far. So, we're really

[14:54] happy to see that. And remember last

[14:55] year we're kind of experiencing some

[14:56] flattening um, going down a bit. So,

[14:58] we're happy to see that that's um,

[15:00] compared to last year that's gone up.

[15:02] Um, right now our main area of concern

[15:03] for Q2 is franchise fee revenue. Um, so

[15:06] while there are a couple of sources that

[15:07] are up compared to last year, um, we're

[15:09] also kind of seeing some of those um, be

[15:11] down, particularly some of our larger

[15:12] ones. So those can be seasonal. So as we

[15:14] kind of enter summer and some of those

[15:16] things, those might go up. Um, but we're

[15:17] keeping a close eye on it because with

[15:19] only a 1% change from the last fiscal

[15:21] year, that's below our current um,

[15:22] budget of exceptions. Um, I also kind of

[15:24] wanted to bring up use tax. Um, so

[15:26] that's been also fairly flat from last

[15:28] year. So compared to sales tax, which is

[15:29] a little odd. Um, so we're going to just

[15:31] keep an eye on that and see how those

[15:32] end up coming in. um briefly call out

[15:35] licenses and permits as well. So our

[15:37] ride ofway permits were up. We had a

[15:39] couple years where they were really high um and those have largely

[15:42] stabilized. So those might come in um

[15:43] ever so slightly under on there. Um

[15:45] you'll also see of course the large um

[15:47] transfer. Um I'll talk about some of the

[15:49] projects that we anticipate using fund

[15:50] balance for um in that line when I get

[15:52] to the expense side of it. Um so again

[15:55] like we're going to keep a really close

[15:56] eye on sales tax and franchise fees

[15:57] because those are 70% of our general

[15:59] fund revenue and they could be quite

[16:00] volatile. Um so we'll report back on Q3

[16:03] on the continuing trends that we see

[16:04] with those on the expense side. So

[16:06] that's just on the next page on page

[16:08] nine. Um I like to point out the um

[16:11] other services you can see the kind of

[16:13] large scary $4,000 number. Um as you all

[16:15] remember that is the vacancy credit um

[16:18] that we did. So historically we've been

[16:20] budgeting for full staffing. We've not

[16:21] had full staffing and so we've been

[16:23] contributing to fund balance at the end

[16:24] of the year. So this year we did the

[16:25] fund wide vacancy credit for the general

[16:27] fund. So essentially what that does is

[16:29] we just find the cost of a set number of

[16:31] positions. I believe we did six and we

[16:33] just subtract that from the total

[16:35] expenses that we expect to do. So it's a

[16:36] contra expense and so that's why that

[16:38] line um looks to be pretty far over

[16:40] budget. It's completely normal. It's

[16:41] what we um tended to do this year. Um

[16:44] savings in our maintenance category um

[16:46] in commodities as well primarily due to

[16:48] us shifting our general expenses over

[16:50] the CIP halfcent sales tax fund. Um and

[16:52] as I promised I was going to go over

[16:54] some of those kind of one-time large

[16:55] capital projects we have. One of those

[16:57] is of course Lion Lake um which we did

[16:59] an amendment for um the last quarter

[17:01] that I brought this to you. Um some of

[17:03] the other ones that we're anticipating

[17:04] use some of our reserves own this year.

[17:06] Um we budgeted $500,000 for city hall

[17:09] security upgrades about $400,000 for a

[17:11] Bearcat. Um as you remember that came in

[17:13] a little bit higher. I have the

[17:14] encumbered funds in here just because I

[17:16] like to show that um transparency wise.

[17:18] We also had $90,000 for a wayfinding

[17:21] sign, about $240,000ish for some

[17:24] concrete work ramp curbs over at our

[17:26] fire stations, $50,000 for a housing

[17:28] study, and then $100,000 to start up the

[17:31] VERT, which is the vehicle and equipment

[17:32] reser replacement fund, which is how

[17:34] we're paying for all the enterprise um

[17:36] vehicles in that replacement program

[17:37] there.

[17:40] So, um I won't brief I won't call out

[17:42] any of our departments here, but as you

[17:44] can see, there's a bunch of green. So,

[17:45] they're all wonderful. We have the best

[17:46] department heads in the world. they do

[17:48] wonderful at managing their budgets and

[17:49] their expenses throughout the year. So,

[17:51] fantastic work on their part. Um, I'll

[17:53] skip through all the detail as well. If

[17:54] you have any questions about that, happy

[17:55] to return to that, but just kind of

[17:57] keeping this as an overview. Um, so

[17:59] water pollution control is next. So,

[18:01] that's our sewer fund. Um, revenue, um,

[18:04] charges for service, so service merch,

[18:06] um, primary operating revenue there

[18:07] coming in right on target with that rate

[18:09] increase we did last fall. So, 3% over

[18:12] where we were quarter 2 last year. Um,

[18:14] you'll also see about 1.5 million in

[18:17] miscellaneous. So, that's where we're

[18:18] booking those u revenue bond proceeds

[18:20] from the state revolving fund. So, as we

[18:22] experience expenses from that project,

[18:24] we're getting reimbured from the state.

[18:25] Um, and so, so far we've gotten about

[18:27] 1.5 million as of Q2 and those will

[18:29] continue to roll in as we work on that

[18:31] project.

[18:32] On the expenses, which is on page 18,

[18:37] we are anticipating a need to pull from

[18:39] fund balance to cover the total um of

[18:41] again some onetime projects. That's kind

[18:43] of a recurring theme you'll see across

[18:44] this budget is that we found an

[18:46] opportunity to use some of those reserve

[18:47] funds um for really impactful projects

[18:50] since we have carry some high balances

[18:52] in some of our funds. So, we're really

[18:53] going to make um a difference there. Um

[18:55] so, for the purposes of the report, um

[18:57] I'm assuming that we're just going to

[19:00] cash finance both the lift station and

[19:02] the solar project. That's not what we're

[19:03] going to do. We kind of discussed going

[19:05] lease financing, but just for the

[19:06] simplicity of this report, just include

[19:08] both those expenses. Um assuming full-on

[19:10] cash financing there. Um and then they

[19:13] have some savings from staff vacancies

[19:15] and largely all the other expenses in

[19:17] that fund um are on track.

[19:21] So now I'm going to move on to parts. So

[19:23] page 19 to talk about their revenue. So

[19:26] most of their tax revenues on target to

[19:28] meet or exceed budget. Um admin staff,

[19:30] so finance, we're still going to

[19:31] conservatively estimate some of those

[19:33] new fees and the revenue is going to

[19:34] come in from those. Um they've

[19:36] definitely impacted revenue. So, um,

[19:37] their memberships are about 17% higher

[19:39] than they were or the revenue is 17%

[19:41] higher than it was last year at the same

[19:43] time. Um, but right now it's just

[19:44] unclear whether this trend is going to

[19:46] be strong enough and we think we're

[19:47] going to meet or exceed budget with that

[19:49] trend. So, we're still kind of budgeting

[19:50] really on that side, but we are also of

[19:52] course hoping for a strong pool season

[19:54] and that kind of make up some of that

[19:55] difference too. Um, so we've met with

[19:57] parks, so they've kind of gone over

[19:58] these rental estimates with them. Um and

[20:00] as I'll talk about in the next section,

[20:02] they've already started to make some

[20:03] kind of proactive changes to their

[20:05] expenses to try to maintain um a

[20:07] balanced operating budget there.

[20:10] So on the expense side, next page, page

[20:13] 20. So they do have already had a few

[20:16] expenses that kind of made them go over

[20:18] a bit maintenance. So they had a water

[20:19] leak and then the HVAC went out as well.

[20:21] So some of those unexpected things that

[20:22] unfortunately come up from time to time.

[20:24] Um, I also just want to bring up quickly

[20:26] again the kind of mismatch between our

[20:28] budget development and parks. They're a

[20:30] few months ahead of us and so sometimes

[20:32] we don't get estimates for our

[20:33] insuranceances quite the same time. So,

[20:35] we're working to tighten that up, but

[20:36] that's also why you see that insurance

[20:38] line a little bit over there. Um,

[20:39] they're also been making some savings by

[20:41] deferring some of their capital projects

[20:43] and they do also have a bit um from

[20:45] staff vacancies just because it took

[20:46] them a bit into the year to fill um at

[20:48] least one or two of their full-time

[20:50] positions. So, now I'm going to go ahead

[20:52] and skip to CIP funds. So, I'm going to

[20:55] kind of talk about them together at

[20:56] first and then I'll break out um after

[20:58] that after when I get to the expenses.

[21:00] So, revenue in both of them doing good.

[21:02] Um coming in largely on target. So,

[21:04] happy to see that. Um both funds again

[21:07] to anticipate the funds transferred have

[21:09] covered some additional projects that we

[21:10] wanted to undergo this year. Um so, fund

[21:13] 210 which is our transportation CIP

[21:15] fund. The ADA ramp curb and gutter

[21:18] program is proceeding. Um and both the

[21:20] asphalt and sidewalk programs will begin

[21:21] in the coming months. So we'll have a

[21:23] better idea about some more of those. So

[21:24] some expensive

[21:26] housing.

[21:28] >> There are also significant savings from

[21:29] the Cedar Court project. So that offset

[21:31] some of the minor overages we see in

[21:34] some of those other lines

[21:36] on the halfsent which is fund 215.

[21:39] That's just on that next page. There are

[21:42] a lot of projects um within this fund, a

[21:44] lot of ambitious initiatives going on

[21:45] this year. Um as you all remember we

[21:47] adopted an amendment last quarter for

[21:49] the cost of the solar over the PD. their

[21:50] nice little overhang they have now over

[21:52] there. Um there are also a variety of

[21:54] other projects as I mentioned. So

[21:56] there's the fire engine lease payments

[21:57] for those two fire engines we purchased

[21:59] this year. UTVs, tools, alert and siren

[22:01] maintenance, building maintenance,

[22:02] tactical police equipment. Um so all of

[22:05] those projects are largely progressive

[22:06] as expected. So nothing crazy to report

[22:09] there. Of course, if you want a full

[22:10] report of the CIP, that's in the

[22:12] comprehensive financial model as well as

[22:14] we have a truncated version in the back

[22:15] of the budget book. Okay. I would be

[22:17] remiss if I didn't talk about solid

[22:19] waste real quick. Um, so here we're

[22:21] presenting again the revenue on a

[22:23] received rather than a build basis just

[22:25] to kind of better account for cash flow

[22:26] in this relatively new fund. Um, so

[22:29] right now we're sitting at about a 3%

[22:30] delinquency rate rather than 10% which

[22:32] is what we assume for budget. So that's

[22:33] fantastic. So we're happy to see that

[22:35] the revenue is performing favorably

[22:37] there. Um, on the flip side, as I

[22:39] mentioned again in Q1 and it's still the

[22:41] trend. Um, our contract is trending to

[22:43] be a bit more than we budgeted in. Um

[22:45] but that's only because we have a higher

[22:47] house count than when we assume the

[22:48] budget. So that of course varies

[22:49] directly with our revenue. Um so there's

[22:51] no concerns there. If we have more

[22:52] accounts, we get more money, but then we

[22:54] also have to pay more money to

[22:55] principal. So I'll bring forth an

[22:56] amendment in Q3 or towards the end of

[22:58] the year. Um if that trend continues and

[23:00] we need to do that, but other than that,

[23:02] happy stand for any questions you might

[23:04] have.

[23:06] >> I did have a few questions. Um, so on

[23:09] the SIP funds, uh, spec specifically the

[23:13] like fire engines, are we when do lease

[23:16] payments start on that? Like we expect

[23:18] to see that in the budget?

[23:21] >> Yeah, that's one of the interests come

[23:24] with them. Um, but the bulk of them

[23:26] aren't going to start until next year. I

[23:28] think we have some interest to pay this

[23:29] year, but I believe most of it.

[23:31] >> That's correct. Partly it's a function

[23:33] of when we take receipt and when we get

[23:35] lease findings in place. But I think we

[23:38] actually are far behind in what we

[23:40] budgeted. So yeah,

[23:42] >> representative savings this year.

[23:44] >> Sure.

[23:45] >> Um on solid waste, is there a floor on

[23:48] how much we would spend? So if we lose a

[23:51] bunch of houses all at once or something

[23:53] that come offline, is there still a

[23:55] minimum amount we pay on the contract?

[23:58] Okay. So it'll fluctuate with the houses

[24:01] no matter what or the properties we're

[24:02] servicing no matter what. Okay. Um and

[24:05] then also on parks and wreck he

[24:06] mentioned that we are misaligned

[24:09] specifically with property insurance

[24:13] does their budget on May June we don't

[24:15] finalize our budget till September and

[24:17] we don't get our renewal pre like

[24:18] estimates from the insurance company

[24:20] until July August and so there's a bit

[24:22] of a mismatch there historically um

[24:24] we're being more intentional about this

[24:25] year trying to kind of tighten it up um

[24:27] have more conversations about we think

[24:29] it's going to be 10 15% um with our

[24:32] insurance carriers so we can make sure

[24:33] gets the best information they can of

[24:35] even though they're 13 months ahead of

[24:36] us.

[24:38] >> So, their fiscal year is still aligned

[24:39] with the city.

[24:41] >> But since they have to go through the

[24:42] parks board first, they kind of get a

[24:43] head start on that. And I think believe

[24:44] it's in our code that they have to bring

[24:46] the brush to the parks board before they

[24:48] bring it in us.

[24:48] >> Yeah. So, they they have a lot more

[24:50] process that's specified. And I would

[24:53] tell you from the insurance side, it's

[24:55] very it's pretty common to not know what

[24:57] your number's going to be till you're

[24:59] right up against the deadline, which is

[25:01] can always be frustrating if you're

[25:03] completing making a change but try to

[25:07] manage that best.

[25:08] >> So that misalignment is more just

[25:10] budgeting process not necessarily. Okay.

[25:13] >> Yeah. So they they had to budget a

[25:16] number before we had the hard quote from

[25:18] insurance and so they budgeted less than

[25:21] what the insurance proved out to be.

[25:23] >> Okay. And when is insurance renewal is

[25:25] that align with our fiscal year also or

[25:29] >> but like I said we usually get estimates

[25:31] July August. So, okay. And we usually

[25:34] kind of budget a blanket increase. So,

[25:36] then we kind of adjust as we go on. But,

[25:38] >> so is that misalignment something that

[25:40] we can rectify? You know, can we go back

[25:42] to parks in August and say, "Here's what

[25:44] the insurance came out to. Can we update

[25:46] your budget to reflect that or

[25:48] something?"

[25:48] >> Yeah. I think I'm going to speak for

[25:50] parks a little bit, but I think they

[25:51] they're paying attention to it just soon

[25:53] as the number comes out and and as

[25:55] Jennifer Jessica said, they do a good

[25:57] job of just kind of monitoring all their

[25:59] line items, adjusting expenses

[26:00] according. So whether they make a budget

[26:03] amendment, you know, immediately or

[26:04] whether they're just factoring that in

[26:07] soon as we know that number in

[26:11] >> Oh, thank you.

[26:12] >> Thank you guys.

[26:13] >> Thank you, Jessica.

[26:15] >> I had so I sorry I did have some No,

[26:18] that's okay. I I was waiting you so you

[26:21] have questions. Um and some of these may

[26:24] not be questions for you. So feel free

[26:25] to say that's a department person's

[26:27] question. Um I wonder given

[26:31] circumstances. If we're anticipating

[26:34] budgeting higher for gas, diesel, you

[26:37] know, fuel, especially in in um this

[26:40] coming fiscal year, if that's something

[26:42] that's kind of across the board,

[26:43] everyone's planning

[26:44] >> take that into account. Yes.

[26:45] >> Yeah. Yeah. Because it seems like that's

[26:48] what's happening, what's coming

[26:50] regardless. um

[26:53] in the sorry in the general fund

[26:56] on the revenue side

[26:59] I just was curious this is something I

[27:01] don't know or understand is the fines

[27:05] and there seem to be if I'm reading this

[27:08] right a pretty big increase in fines

[27:12] from

[27:15] quarter two of FY25

[27:18] to

[27:20] the um end of estimate.

[27:23] So, I'm just wondering what what that

[27:26] increase in fines is or

[27:29] >> the increase from

[27:30] >> from let's see from

[27:34] 13691.

[27:36] >> Mhm.

[27:37] >> That was the end of fiscal year 25.

[27:39] >> Correct.

[27:40] >> Or that was the quarter two of fiscal

[27:41] year 25.

[27:42] >> That was what?

[27:43] >> Quarter two of fiscal year 25,

[27:45] >> right?

[27:45] >> Yes.

[27:45] >> Yeah.

[27:46] >> And then the end of year estimate.

[27:50] Okay. Sorry. I realize I'm comparing

[27:52] apples to oranges. Never mind.

[27:54] Apologize. We get that

[27:55] >> is estimating growth in that line.

[27:58] >> Gotcha. Okay.

[27:59] >> But it's that that 35,000 numbers that

[28:02] you're in as difference is estimate.

[28:05] >> Gotcha. Okay. Thank you. And then the

[28:07] legislative budget.

[28:11] Now I can't find it. Where is that? What

[28:14] page is that?

[28:23] What page is it?

[28:25] >> 10 or 11 depending if you're looking at

[28:27] the detail or the summary.

[28:28] >> Okay, there we go. Okay. And so what um

[28:34] is that city council?

[28:36] >> Yes. Correct.

[28:36] >> Okay. All right. And so I assume that's

[28:38] something we're going to be talking

[28:40] about at some point so that we know

[28:41] what's in our budget. What's what's

[28:43] >> that? There's some other um boards of

[28:45] commissions um primarily Historic

[28:47] Preservation Commission. um they're in

[28:48] your budget this year as well. Some

[28:50] other kind of miscellaneous things as

[28:51] well, but yeah.

[28:52] >> Okay. And I remember that was it the

[28:54] housing study I think was placed in our

[28:56] budget. It

[28:56] >> was placed in city's budget.

[28:58] >> Okay. Yeah.

[28:59] >> I provide you in detail on kind of

[29:01] what's in your budget. Okay. But

[29:02] certainly

[29:03] >> I don't know now, but maybe it's you

[29:05] know when we have our retreat later in

[29:06] the year with something we can just

[29:08] focus on. Um

[29:13] » okay. The other things I think I'll ask

[29:14] department folks. Thank you. I

[29:15] appreciate it. Jessica,

[29:17] >> I have one more thing. Sorry, cuz Susie

[29:19] brought it up. The fines, is that just

[29:22] like traffic violations or is that also

[29:24] property fines or

[29:27] >> So, the cases

[29:28] >> anything. Okay, sounds good. Thank you.

[29:32] >> Any other questions?

[29:35] >> Thank you, Jess.

[29:38] >> Say it every time, but she knows it is

[29:40] backwards and forwards. Terrific job.

[29:46] Item seven, second reading ordinance

[29:48] 7.1,

[29:50] 2026 FIFA World Cup Tournament, an

[29:53] ordinance exempting the city of

[29:54] Warsburg, Missouri from the provisions

[29:56] of section 311.2026

[30:00] RS Missouri regarding hours for liquor

[30:03] licenses to sell, serve, and allow the

[30:05] consumption of alcoholic beverages

[30:08] during the 2026 FIFA World Cup

[30:10] tournament. Presented by Michael D.

[30:12] Sprag, city manager. Thank you, Mayor

[30:14] and Council. Um, I'm going to take the

[30:16] liberty of being brief, but I'll be

[30:17] happy to answer any additional questions

[30:19] you might have. But, um, I'm sure you

[30:21] recall that we had a public hearing, uh,

[30:23] two meetings ago where there's

[30:25] opportunity, there's a survey conducted

[30:27] ahead of that. There's an opportunity to

[30:28] address you and then you as the council

[30:30] to give staff direction on how you'd

[30:32] like to proceed. Um, then your last

[30:35] meeting, we brought forth an ordinance

[30:36] and with a lot of different options. you

[30:39] ultimately amended that to opt out of

[30:42] the state's statute that extends liquor

[30:45] license uh hours of sale um essentially

[30:48] 23 hours a day for the entire duration

[30:51] FIFA World Cup. That just predates their

[30:53] play with the the date range of the FIFA

[30:55] World Cup. So, what's in your packet is

[30:58] the ordinance as amended on first

[31:00] reading at your last meeting. um knowing

[31:03] that there was conversation about

[31:04] alternatives and and trying to assist

[31:07] you if you wanted to pursue a different

[31:09] option. Uh you'll see that the options

[31:12] provided in the staff report are very

[31:14] lengthy. Um essentially they are what

[31:17] would need to be said as a motion if you

[31:20] wanted to pursue something other than if

[31:24] you want to make an amendment to the

[31:25] ordinance. So if you leave the ordinance

[31:27] un amended when we pass it on second

[31:28] reading we are opting out of um the

[31:32] extended hours and if you want to do

[31:35] something other than that then option

[31:37] one um and there's exempting us option

[31:41] two would be extending the hours of sale

[31:44] on the dates the FIFA match play in

[31:46] Kansas City. Option three would be

[31:48] extending the hours of sale on the match

[31:50] play dates and FanFest dates. Option

[31:53] four would be extending it for the full

[31:57] range of dates which if you do nothing

[31:59] you you got the state adoption in place

[32:02] for 23 hours a day. So in the instance

[32:05] of option number four you would need to

[32:07] specify some different time frame if

[32:10] that's what you wanted to do. So uh

[32:13] recapping

[32:14] um we surveyed the liquor license

[32:17] holders. We worked with the Star Journal

[32:19] and ran front page article about it.

[32:21] conducted a public hearing that you

[32:23] called up at a at last uh city council

[32:26] meeting. The notice that before you is a

[32:28] action that you took on the first

[32:30] reading at your last meeting. So if you

[32:33] pass that, you're opting out extended

[32:35] hours entirely and then the various

[32:38] scenarios of options are there for you

[32:40] to have report.

[32:42] Be happy to kind of answer any questions

[32:44] you might have.

[32:46] >> Did have a question on your uh fiscal

[32:49] impact. She mentioned $3,500 a week for

[32:51] two additional officers. And I guess my

[32:54] first question in that is, do we send

[32:56] officers home already at 130 when the

[33:00] bars close or what what are those

[33:03] additional officers that we would be

[33:04] seeing?

[33:11] So, our schedules are 12-hour shifts. If

[33:15] where you're extending these hours, I

[33:17] will have to look at uh extra staffing.

[33:19] Um signing up from basically 10 till

[33:23] whenever the bars close at night. We

[33:26] used to run uh four to six people

[33:29] downtown um for bar closing at all

[33:32] times. Um we don't have to do that

[33:35] anymore. Um in Celia's world, um

[33:38] everything's pretty well been calm down

[33:41] there. So, we're we would be looking at

[33:43] planning if all the bars are open for

[33:47] all the hours, then I would look at all

[33:50] right, if there's two bars open, I need

[33:52] two officers for that bar. If there's

[33:54] four, however many in the downtown area

[33:57] that's going to be open, I would have

[33:59] two assigned per bar being open at that

[34:02] time, frame. So,

[34:04] >> so do you already

[34:05] >> we would be doing overtime for that? Do

[34:08] you already intend to have officers down

[34:09] there? Just be additional officers

[34:12] >> additional officers

[34:13] >> after 1:30

[34:15] >> around 10:00 depending on what's what's

[34:18] going on

[34:19] >> whether they're open regular hours or

[34:21] whether they're open extended hours.

[34:23] You're going to have those officers

[34:25] >> um they do spot checks now. Um they're

[34:29] not down on foot that whole time now.

[34:34] But during that if we're having issues

[34:37] then I would Yes. If we're having issues

[34:41] so I have a plan for what is.

[34:44] >> Yeah. Absolutely. And your costs $3,500

[34:48] a week for the two officers. Um, and

[34:52] that's fully burdened with taxes and

[34:55] retirement, all that.

[34:56] >> Time and a half at the $21 an hour. We

[34:59] put it around that $30. That's on the

[35:02] lower end of of our officers. Say our

[35:06] middle middle end of officers sign up

[35:08] for that could be at 24 $25 an hour. So,

[35:11] we have to go up even more on the

[35:13] overtime side.

[35:15] >> Thank you.

[35:16] >> Try to do it on the low side of it. I

[35:18] appreciate it. Thanks.

[35:20] And if we um if we opt out and keep

[35:25] normal liquor license hours, liquor

[35:29] serving hours, there wouldn't be need

[35:31] for additional

[35:33] uh the students are gone.

[35:35] >> If if we're not seeing issues, then no.

[35:38] >> But if if there are issues in a course,

[35:41] >> then we'd have to do some sign up and

[35:44] sign over time. So is it can we assume

[35:47] that if we opt out and we just have the

[35:51] 6:00 in the morning to

[35:53] 1:30 1:30

[35:56] that uh with the students being gone and

[35:59] then uh FIFA people here celebrating

[36:04] uh maybe before they go to Kansas City

[36:07] um and then maybe celebrating for a

[36:10] couple hours when they come back that

[36:12] there shouldn't be really a great need

[36:16] because they're I'm well I'm assuming

[36:17] they're adults and they'll act like

[36:19] adults

[36:20] >> and you know what happens when you

[36:21] assume

[36:23] >> that's exactly right. You're I'm I'm not

[36:25] assuming them. I'm not just watching and

[36:27] kind of what's going on.

[36:29] >> If it seems like we're going to have

[36:31] issues then we'll set up more for it.

[36:33] But right now we haven't been having

[36:35] issues down there. So

[36:36] >> um like I said back 10 years ago we ran

[36:40] four to six officers during bar closing.

[36:43] But when we were having issues, we'd

[36:45] bring people in at 10:00 and you could

[36:47] work overtime from 10:00 till 2:30, 3:00

[36:50] in the morning until bars got closed

[36:51] down and then people would be in the

[36:53] streets uh waiting waiting to go home

[36:56] playing their music file. So we'd

[36:58] usually be down there 2:30 and 3:30.

[37:01] >> Okay. And if they need additional

[37:03] drinks, they could just start earlier in

[37:05] the day.

[37:06] >> And the the games don't start till 8 at

[37:09] night. They run 90 minutes.

[37:12] Yeah, some start earlier and some start

[37:15] some some start as early as 6 I think

[37:16] and start late night till 9.

[37:19] >> It's like some partying in Kansas City

[37:22] hopefully not too much before they drive

[37:23] back to Warren.

[37:25] >> Okay, thank you. It's a lot of unknowns.

[37:27] >> There's so many different variables

[37:29] unknowns

[37:30] >> given 3500 that sounds high, right? I

[37:33] mean that's just the unknown of it. So

[37:37] thank you.

[37:37] >> Thank you.

[37:40] What do you need for us to proceed?

[37:44] >> I'll just make one comment. I think it's

[37:45] pretty telling when the mayor of Kansas

[37:48] City is looking to opt out um making

[37:51] that decision. So, just something else

[37:53] to throw out here as we make our

[37:55] decision.

[38:00] » Any other

[38:02] open for discussion?

[38:03] >> Absolutely. So, I just wanted to say

[38:06] again, you know, I know my stance is

[38:08] clear on it, but I just wanted to

[38:10] mention kind of uh again where I stand

[38:12] on it. I I do think that need to be

[38:14] business friendly and leaving it up to

[38:16] the businesses is important. Um we're

[38:19] not saying that you need to stay open.

[38:21] We're not saying that you need to stay

[38:23] closed. It is a once in a-lifetime

[38:25] opportunity that these businesses have

[38:27] and they just don't know what they're

[38:28] going to do just yet. Um, reality is we

[38:32] reached out to them 3 months ahead of

[38:33] time. I'm continuing to talk to these

[38:35] business owners along with the general

[38:37] public and the general consensus is that

[38:39] I'm hearing from these business owners.

[38:42] Why put extra rules on us at the moment?

[38:44] Um, if we want to stay open, then we

[38:46] should have that ability to stay open

[38:48] for this once in a lifetime opportunity

[38:50] that they have. Now, yes, Kansas City is

[38:53] saying that, you know, we aren't sure.

[38:55] Um, Lee Summit has said I believe that

[38:57] they're going to be extending their

[38:58] hours. Um, you know, I whether our

[39:02] hotels are booked or not, I think that

[39:04] our businesses do have an opportunity uh

[39:06] across the city and we are dealing with

[39:09] a lot of different cultures here. Um,

[39:11] it's not just people that live in

[39:12] Warrenburg, but you know, it could be

[39:14] people that um are traveling through uh

[39:16] whether domestically or internationally

[39:18] um might want to stay in one of our

[39:20] Airbnbs. Um, I know that there are

[39:22] several Airbnbs around town that are

[39:23] booked for World Cup uh, participants.

[39:26] Some of them, they might not be getting

[39:28] home until midnight. Uh, even with the

[39:30] 9:00 game, once you calculate in travel

[39:32] time and getting out of the stadium and

[39:34] everything else, you know, it it might

[39:36] be late uh, and they might still want to

[39:38] go party afterwards. So, I think that it

[39:40] is important that these businesses have

[39:42] the opportunity to uh, uh, get the extra

[39:44] revenue if they can, and if they don't

[39:46] want to, they don't have to. they can

[39:47] stay closed as long as they follow the

[39:49] ordinance and give the proper timing and

[39:51] things like that. And at the end of the

[39:53] day, um hopefully our public is good. We

[39:55] don't have to staff the extra officers.

[39:58] Uh but also, you know, we can always

[40:00] come back to the table if we need to and

[40:02] uh cancel that exemption if if we need

[40:04] to. So, or uh cancel the extended hours

[40:07] if we need to and put an exemption in

[40:09] place. So

[40:10] >> the ordinance also if uh if they are

[40:14] going to stay open uh the one of the

[40:19] options if they were going to allow them

[40:23] to stay open longer they had to give

[40:25] they have to give us notice in writing

[40:28] and failure to do that uh they can be

[40:31] ticketed uh for that. So we would know

[40:36] who is supposed to be who plans to be

[40:39] open uh any extended hours.

[40:42] >> To clarify, council person, we wouldn't

[40:44] have uh the ability to ticket them for

[40:48] not notifying us just for that purpose.

[40:52] Um we may have there may be a business

[40:55] ticket that I could write on that, but

[40:57] it would not be for that specific thing

[40:58] alone. Um, also the ordinance that you

[41:01] have in front of you has does not have

[41:03] that option in it. The ordinance that

[41:05] you have now is the one that was amended

[41:07] at the last meeting which is only an opt

[41:10] out. Yes, it has no other options.

[41:14] >> But if we were to Max's point, if we were to pick

[41:19] another one,

[41:20] >> sure you could. Yeah, you could

[41:21] certainly resurrect. they could be cited

[41:23] for not notifying the city that they

[41:26] were going to be

[41:28] >> open if we were to decide to let them be

[41:31] open.

[41:33] >> We I at that point I would suggest that

[41:36] live editing in the session is probably

[41:40] not our best answer.

[41:42] >> Okay. to that.

[41:43] >> I guess I thought that was in

[41:46] >> I think that was in an example

[41:48] ordinance.

[41:48] >> An example from

[41:50] >> but it has not been built into

[41:52] >> I see. Okay.

[41:53] >> And I I wholeheartedly agree and much

[41:56] more amending beyond what you have here

[41:58] probably need to regroup and bring it

[42:00] back to you.

[42:00] >> Okay.

[42:01] >> All right. Yeah. Because the one that's

[42:02] in front of us is

[42:04] >> opting out keeping our regular hours. So

[42:06] they wouldn't need to let us know one

[42:08] way or the other.

[42:08] >> Okay. And if we want to move forward

[42:10] with what's in front of us, what do we

[42:12] need to do?

[42:13] >> You're on your second reading. You're in

[42:16] standard procedure at this point on a

[42:18] second reading ordinance. So,

[42:20] >> which is just taking call for vote.

[42:22] >> Yeah, you're ready to call for the vote.

[42:23] If you're done with your discussion,

[42:25] you're ready for the question.

[42:26] >> Okay.

[42:29] >> No further questions.

[42:31] Any discussion?

[42:34] Okay.

[42:36] >> Motion to move to second reading by

[42:38] title only. No, we're already there. Oh,

[42:41] there already there.

[42:44] Get back to where we were.

[42:46] >> Totally.

[42:47] Call to question.

[42:48] >> Call to question.

[42:52] » This is for adoption or rejections. It's

[42:55] a second reading. Rydenhower.

[42:58] >> No.

[42:59] >> Osborne.

[43:00] >> Yes.

[43:01] Latari,

[43:02] >> yes.

[43:03] >> Jones,

[43:04] >> yes.

[43:05] >> Uler,

[43:06] >> yes.

[43:07] >> Motion carried.

[43:09] >> Thank you, Max. I appreciate you point

[43:11] of view.

[43:12] >> No, thank you. I appreciate you

[43:14] listening.

[43:16] >> Item 8.1, an ordinance amending section

[43:19] 15-1 of the code of city ordinances for

[43:22] the city of Warsburg, Missouri,

[43:23] regarding park hours, presented by

[43:26] Chris, the real deal parks and

[43:28] recreation.

[43:30] >> [laughter]

[43:31] >> That always takes the nerd up to

[43:36] uh but first uh uh good evening mayor

[43:39] and council members and first I would

[43:41] like to thank our assistant parks

[43:43] recreation director Tony Albertina. Uh

[43:46] he did quite a bit of work on this and

[43:47] research of other cities in comparison

[43:50] for the development of these ordinance

[43:52] changes. Uh we reviewed these changes

[43:54] with staff and also presented to the

[43:56] park board with approval. um given us to

[44:00] proceed on to the city council. The main

[44:03] purpose of these ordinances really is

[44:05] consistency which improves for uh our

[44:08] overall operations and communication

[44:10] with the public and all um the city

[44:13] staff and boards believe across uh the

[44:16] city. It will be a very positive thing.

[44:19] As stated in the memo uh in the first

[44:21] ordinance, the um open and closing hours

[44:25] um are are different um throughout our

[44:29] nine parks. This is confusing to the

[44:31] public and also internal staff. So, this

[44:34] ordinance changes two things. One, it

[44:36] makes all parks opening from 5:00 am 10

[44:39] pm. And two, it allows the parks and

[44:42] recreation director or designate to

[44:45] approve any exceptions for programs or

[44:48] events. A good example of this would be

[44:50] if there is a term or sporting events,

[44:53] it might run past 10:00 um which could

[44:56] be um approved at that level. staff

[45:00] would always of course follow the

[45:01] established policies of the park board

[45:03] and this makes it so a request does not

[45:06] have to go back to the park board. Give

[45:08] you an example of a request is made on

[45:10] the 29th of uh April and the 28th. We

[45:15] just had our meeting and you have to

[45:16] wait another whole month. You take the

[45:18] chance to lose program and also revenue.

[45:21] And again, this is consistent with what

[45:23] other cities do and um parks and

[45:27] recreation board approves. and I'll

[45:28] answer any questions you may have.

[45:33] » Just a question about how that might

[45:36] affect uh PD if they do patrols. I I

[45:40] don't I don't know what if it's common

[45:42] to have to go

[45:43] >> actually will assist the PD because uh a

[45:46] lot of times they're so it was so

[45:48] inconsistent on closing some was uh sun

[45:51] down and some

[45:54] >> 11:00. So that gives us consistency for

[45:58] help unlock gates or any of that type of

[45:59] stuff.

[46:00] >> Makes sense. Okay. Thank you.

[46:03] >> Do you get common calls or do you get a

[46:06] lot of calls on park hours? Does people

[46:09] staying after

[46:10] >> staying after on park hours?

[46:12] >> Yeah.

[46:12] >> Um that varies. It varies. uh when

[46:16] patrolling if the if the gates aren't

[46:18] locked, we can go down all evening to

[46:23] middle of the night and find people down

[46:24] in there doing things they shouldn't be

[46:27] doing. So, um if they get consistent and

[46:30] have the gates locked that they'll pass

[46:32] some stuff down.

[46:36] That was definitely seen as the most positive thing is uh the ease um

[46:41] for the police chief to be able to tell

[46:43] the staff it's 5 to 10.

[46:45] >> Yeah.

[46:45] >> And then have to open a book and see you

[46:48] know when the next time is they know it.

[46:50] >> What time is sundown today? Yeah.

[46:52] >> And I will just add one more thing. Um

[46:55] having uh K Hall open at mid till

[46:57] midnight um has been a problem. So the

[47:00] 10 o'clock is going to help. We've added

[47:02] additional lighting out there. So, it

[47:04] would be a big help for us.

[47:07] >> A question on the additional lighting

[47:08] out at Cape Hollow. Is it on a timer?

[47:11] So, it'll shut it up at 10.

[47:13] >> Uh, it's it is on time. On timer, so it

[47:16] comes on um when it's dark, it goes off

[47:18] the dawn.

[47:19] >> It goes off at 10 or whatever you set it

[47:22] to go off at.

[47:23] >> Oh, no. Uh, it uh

[47:27] >> or it says dust the dawn.

[47:29] >> Dust it on. Okay. Thank you. That's all

[47:31] I needed.

[47:33] The question I have just on hours and

[47:36] kind of where the limits are, if

[47:38] somebody's walking through like

[47:39] Shepherd's Park for example, late at

[47:41] night, being on the sidewalk or being on

[47:43] the road is not breaking this ordinance,

[47:46] but if you were to step onto the grass,

[47:47] it would. Is that how I understand that?

[47:50] Or where's the line drawn exactly on

[47:52] being on private property and just being

[47:54] on that ement?

[47:56] Yeah, that that's that would be the way

[47:58] I would interpret it for court purposes

[48:00] is if no different than private property

[48:03] in general. The sidewalk in front of a

[48:04] house is not the house, not the sidewalk

[48:07] would be the house's property. So,

[48:09] >> okay.

[48:09] >> Yeah.

[48:12] >> So, you'll have signage going up at each

[48:14] park now with the hours.

[48:16] >> Yes. This will allow us to be consistent

[48:19] in putting all of these same hours at

[48:21] every single park entrance

[48:23] >> um for everyone to kind of get used to

[48:26] that. Those are the hours.

[48:30] » Any other questions? We have a first and

[48:32] second.

[48:33] >> Motion to move to uh second reading by

[48:36] title only.

[48:37] >> Rydenhower,

[48:40] >> yes.

[48:41] >> Osborne,

[48:42] >> yes.

[48:43] >> Lati,

[48:43] >> yes.

[48:44] >> Jones,

[48:45] >> yes. Uler.

[48:46] >> Yes.

[48:48] >> An ordinance amending section 15-1 of

[48:51] the code of city ordinances of the city

[48:53] of Warrenburg, Missouri regarding park

[48:55] hours. This is for adoption or

[48:58] rejection. Rydenower,

[49:00] >> yes.

[49:01] >> Osborne,

[49:01] >> yes.

[49:02] >> Latari,

[49:03] >> yes.

[49:03] >> Jones,

[49:04] >> yes.

[49:04] >> Uler,

[49:05] >> yes.

[49:06] >> Thank you.

[49:11] » Item 8.2, two, an ordinance amending

[49:13] section 15-2 of the code of city

[49:16] ordinances of the city of Warrenburg,

[49:18] Missouri regarding archery. Chris De

[49:22] uh this ordinance having to do with

[49:24] archery would um authorize parks and

[49:27] recreation director or designate um for

[49:31] areas to be approved archery related

[49:34] activities and also areas that that is

[49:38] being performed. Really this is no

[49:40] different than the the uh the current

[49:42] ordinance. The only change is makes so

[49:44] the director um ordin

[49:47] uh can provide approval following the

[49:49] ordinances versus having to go back to

[49:51] park board once again. And this is

[49:54] consistent with other cities and also

[49:56] park board approves this direction. And

[49:59] I'll answer any questions you may have.

[50:02] >> This is basically to take care of um the

[50:05] annual deer hunt.

[50:07] >> Oh yes, good question. Um actually um

[50:11] this makes it so doing the annual deer

[50:13] hunt is it's ongoing. It's something

[50:15] that we can approve and do.

[50:17] >> Yes.

[50:19] >> Perfect.

[50:21] Motion to move to second reading by

[50:23] title.

[50:25] >> Rydenower.

[50:26] >> Yes.

[50:27] >> Osborne.

[50:27] >> Yes.

[50:29] >> Latari.

[50:29] >> Yes.

[50:30] >> Jones.

[50:31] >> Yes.

[50:31] >> Muler.

[50:32] >> Yes.

[50:33] An ordinance amending section 15-2 of

[50:36] the code of city ordinances of the city

[50:38] of Lawrenburg, Missouri regarding

[50:40] archery. This is for adoption or

[50:42] rejection. Rhydenower,

[50:44] >> yes.

[50:45] >> Osborne,

[50:46] >> yes.

[50:46] >> Latari,

[50:47] >> yes.

[50:47] >> Jones,

[50:48] >> yes.

[50:48] >> Uler,

[50:49] >> yes.

[50:50] >> Thank you.

[50:54] Item 8.3, an ordinance amending section

[50:57] 15-3 of a city of the code of city

[51:00] ordinances of the city or written 30

[51:02] regarding posting signs. Chris Steel.

[51:06] Uh section 15 uh3 currently restricts

[51:09] the posting of signage uh within the

[51:12] parks to duly authorized personnel in

[51:14] the performance of their duty and does

[51:16] not provide a mechanism for temporary

[51:18] signage related to events, programs or

[51:21] community activities. And so this

[51:24] restriction does protect park

[51:27] infrastructure and and aesthetics, but

[51:30] it also limits the ability to

[51:31] effectively communicate with park users

[51:34] at times. So the proposed amendment was

[51:37] made that the director designate um make

[51:40] an exception if need deemed necessary

[51:43] and the park board reviewed this and

[51:45] once again approved this ordinance

[51:46] change.

[51:48] In reading this, um, I understand it to

[51:53] allow the park, uh, the park department

[51:56] to place advertising signage for events,

[52:01] upcoming events or a new class or

[52:03] whatever to place it on park uh,

[52:10] property,

[52:11] uh, whether it's inside the, uh,

[52:14] rightway or not.

[52:17] uh and by only allowing uh park

[52:20] department to have signage

[52:23] uh in the easement or

[52:27] inside the the what the inside of the

[52:30] sidewalk. Uh it makes it easier for uh

[52:35] whoever's enforcing signage on the other

[52:40] city property or or anywhere in the city

[52:43] uh to keep it uh from becoming confusing

[52:47] during we have a lot of signs going up

[52:50] uh inside the easement and other places

[52:53] where people are advertising their

[52:55] business or they're advertising some

[52:58] other thing. We have elections coming up

[53:01] in a year. We're going to have signs all

[53:03] over the place by having this uh in

[53:07] force. The park department should be the

[53:09] only ones that would be allowed to put a

[53:12] sign in their um right away. Anybody

[53:15] else

[53:16] would not and it would only be on park

[53:19] department

[53:21] uh property. Is that what I'm

[53:22] understanding?

[53:23] >> I understand where you're headed with

[53:25] that. I have to be honest. We need to be

[53:28] consistent. I I'd have to know what our

[53:30] prior interpretations were about

[53:32] placement of signage and rights of way

[53:34] and easements and but whatever whatever

[53:37] we would authorize here I would want to

[53:40] make sure we're applying consistently as

[53:41] it relates to election signings or uh

[53:45] primarily election signs but

[53:47] [clears throat]

[53:47] >> your your current ordinance prohibits

[53:49] all posting of signs

[53:52] >> even if they're not

[53:54] >> it shall be unlawful for any person to

[53:56] post a fix place or inscribe Any hand to

[53:58] build poster card, sign device or

[54:00] inscription to or upon or against any

[54:03] fence, structure, tree

[54:06] doesn't say anything about rideway.

[54:08] >> Is that just parks and wreck?

[54:11] >> Uh

[54:11] >> that's for the city.

[54:12] >> That's all. Yeah. Well, it's it's under

[54:14] parks and recreation.

[54:15] >> Yeah. Okay. But

[54:16] >> fence structure tree

[54:18] >> for the city.

[54:20] I think we need to be really careful and

[54:22] consistent

[54:25] that the we're allowing through this

[54:27] ordinance the park department to put

[54:30] signs up pretty much wherever they want

[54:34] on park department property.

[54:37] But when it comes to other signs that

[54:41] are not related to the park department,

[54:44] >> any place else within the city, they

[54:47] have to be outside of the rightway.

[54:52] What we we had problems

[54:54] uh two years ago where people were

[54:57] putting them in the easement, then we

[54:59] got word out everybody moved them from

[55:02] the easement into inside the sidewalk.

[55:05] But we had a lot of signage and we just

[55:09] need to be consistent

[55:10] >> and and so much so that you if we don't

[55:14] allow that in right of way elsewhere I

[55:17] wouldn't interpret this is giving the

[55:19] parks department.

[55:21] >> Okay. So then they need to make sure

[55:23] their signs are inside of the on the

[55:26] inside part of the sidewalk or at least

[55:28] 7 foot from the edge of the street. I

[55:31] apologize, but I don't know off the top

[55:33] of my head what our code says. The state

[55:36] I used to work in specifically allowed

[55:38] election signed in right away because of

[55:40] a dispute with one particular

[55:43] legislator. So, it was a very odd

[55:47] >> I think it's at least 10 feet from the

[55:50] street and at least five feet from

[55:52] another property.

[55:53] >> What I would say whatever we whatever

[55:55] standards we call any other sign we can

[55:58] imply it's sign.

[56:00] >> Yes. All we're doing is giving the parks

[56:02] director the authority to allow an event

[56:04] to put up directional signage,

[56:06] concessions, stand, right, hang banners

[56:08] on up to fences

[56:12] >> property. Yeah.

[56:13] >> Um, so I guess

[56:14] >> this ordinance is the 153 is in the

[56:17] parks ordinance. Your sign regulations

[56:19] is in article 9. It's section 27. It's a

[56:23] totally different section.

[56:24] >> Yeah. And the answer to what can you do

[56:27] is like any good legal question, it

[56:30] depends on design or dependation, right?

[56:33] >> There are several different

[56:35] >> categories here. So it's not signs, it's

[56:38] sizes. Do they have lights? Do they not

[56:41] have lights? Are they affixed? Are they

[56:43] temporary? Are they So there's a lot of

[56:45] different

[56:46] >> for those kind of temporary yard signs

[56:48] though, I think it's

[56:49] >> right

[56:49] >> pretty close to that. So that could be a

[56:52] conversation at a different time where

[56:54] we clarify what can happen uh in the

[56:57] city

[56:59] when we

[57:00] >> I wouldn't recommend that we treat

[57:01] ourselves any differently that we

[57:04] >> so that we're consistent

[57:06] >> they're consistent with what we do but

[57:08] right now we're not sure if it's 7 foot

[57:10] 10 foot

[57:12] >> it's it's clear in the ordinance

[57:14] >> we just you know

[57:15] >> yeah we just don't

[57:16] >> I can't find what you're

[57:18] >> talking about Chris mostly like a yard

[57:20] write a temporary like hey there's a lot

[57:22] of sides right

[57:24] >> yeah just outside the rightway

[57:26] >> right

[57:27] >> generally the rightway is in general

[57:29] >> a no go

[57:30] >> this could be an example um to answer

[57:33] your question like um a city partner

[57:36] that the hospital or something has

[57:38] something at that particular park and

[57:41] they will put up signs you know like

[57:42] that say something like this pavilion

[57:45] it's right here you know whatever

[57:46] nothing out the street or anything it's

[57:48] within the park So that would be um an

[57:52] example, but I just certainly am uh in

[57:57] total agreeance to doing exactly what's

[57:59] right within the city.

[58:01] >> Um we just wanted to bring this forward

[58:03] to be consistent with

[58:05] >> approval from the director.

[58:07] [clears throat] What we have right now

[58:08] is we have a set of regulations for

[58:10] signs in the city at large. We then have

[58:13] for the parks specifically, we have a

[58:16] rule that says, "Thou shalt not post

[58:18] signs that are

[58:23] let me let me get this.

[58:26] Shall not post,

[58:29] affix,

[58:31] place, or inscribe

[58:34] to, or upon a fence, structure, or tree.

[58:38] So you can't put your sign on something

[58:40] in a park. Under this regulation, you

[58:43] absolutely could have a a standalone

[58:46] sign, right, that says 40th birthday

[58:48] party here, and that would be just fine

[58:51] because it would be temporary. If it was

[58:52] left, you could be that could be an

[58:54] ordinance violation at that point. This

[58:56] would then amend 1513 specifically to

[59:00] allow for the parks department to aix

[59:04] signs to things because they could put

[59:06] out temporary signs. Now, this will

[59:08] allow them to put up a permanent type

[59:10] sign or a more permanent type sign.

[59:14] >> But whenever you say I apologize,

[59:18] but the temporary sign would not be

[59:20] allowed here because they cannot post.

[59:24] >> Well, that depends on what the

[59:25] definition of is is

[59:30] » posting would typically be some way that

[59:32] it is that you you post a bill. posting

[59:35] is actually I mean truly a posted sign

[59:38] would be probably painted on the post or

[59:42] tacked onto a post. So it's it's old

[59:45] timey language. So posting of a sign it

[59:48] would be some type of semi-permanent or

[59:50] permanent fixture unto something not

[59:53] just placing generally speaking. So now

[59:56] if it said place I would agree with you.

[59:59] [clears throat]

[59:59] >> So do we feel like this ordinance is

[1:00:01] actually going to do what we are trying

[1:00:03] to do here?

[1:00:06] Yeah, it's post to fix place or inscribe

[1:00:08] a handle.

[1:00:09] >> Yeah, it does say place, right? It has

[1:00:11] that word on the end of it. So, I think

[1:00:12] anyone that wants to put up signage in

[1:00:15] the parks department means the park

[1:00:17] >> I think that's right. I missed the word

[1:00:18] place. Good catch.

[1:00:20] >> So, nice. they can give um another

[1:00:24] organization

[1:00:26] permission to place their sign within

[1:00:30] the park area because that organization

[1:00:34] is doing a

[1:00:36] event that's going to happen at the

[1:00:38] community center or it's going to happen

[1:00:39] at the pavilion. It's going to have

[1:00:41] happen with something to do with the

[1:00:44] park, but they they're not going to be

[1:00:47] able to give permission to

[1:00:50] um yeah,

[1:00:51] >> some electrician or plumber or somebody

[1:00:54] else to put his or her sign up in the

[1:00:58] park department because that has nothing

[1:00:59] to do with park activities.

[1:01:02] >> And that the way that this is worded,

[1:01:03] the new wording of it absolutely allows

[1:01:06] for all of that to happen. Yes.

[1:01:09] allows for them to let the the

[1:01:11] electrician or the plumber

[1:01:13] >> parks and recreation director and

[1:01:14] authorized representative may grant

[1:01:15] written approval for exceptions. So it

[1:01:18] would

[1:01:20] come as a written approval to grant an

[1:01:21] exception to it.

[1:01:22] >> I think it it's dependent on how they

[1:01:24] apply themselves. I mean, if I

[1:01:27] understand your scenario correctly, if

[1:01:30] you're having a softball tournament and

[1:01:31] one of your sponsors is electrical

[1:01:33] company and they want to put up a banner

[1:01:35] on the outfield fence as a sponsor, they

[1:01:37] could probably do that. If they want to

[1:01:39] permanently place an electrical an

[1:01:42] advertising sign for their business, I

[1:01:45] would hope that we all apply ourselves

[1:01:48] in such a way that we say

[1:01:50] >> completely. And I think the wording

[1:01:51] here, and that was an important part of

[1:01:53] the wording, um, when I did my review,

[1:01:56] is it's uh, approved events, programs,

[1:01:59] or community activities. So, it's not a

[1:02:02] blanket signage. It's it has to be for

[1:02:05] the thing that it's for.

[1:02:07] >> Okay. access.

[1:02:08] >> I could see like uh if following the

[1:02:10] softball example, if it was a seasonl

[1:02:13] long, you know, team sponsor or

[1:02:15] something like that that was or somebody

[1:02:17] local company wanted to pay for all of

[1:02:20] the dues for the T-ball program or

[1:02:21] something like that and asked if they

[1:02:22] could put a sign out for the season.

[1:02:25] >> That would be

[1:02:26] >> that might I don't I don't know. I'm not

[1:02:27] the parker, but that might be okay.

[1:02:31] Something like that.

[1:02:32] >> Yeah. And it's it's customary to have uh

[1:02:35] sponsors posters on fences.

[1:02:38] >> Y

[1:02:41] » the subtle part of this is this

[1:02:44] authorizes park staff to remove those

[1:02:46] signs after over

[1:02:50] >> Yeah. Okay.

[1:02:52] >> extended conversation about taking it

[1:02:54] down.

[1:02:54] >> Right.

[1:02:55] >> And most businesses those signs are not

[1:02:57] cheap. I mean they're not crazy

[1:02:59] expensive anymore, but they're not free.

[1:03:01] So, you know, there's an incentive to go

[1:03:04] get your sign.

[1:03:07] >> Well, sorry to keep on

[1:03:09] >> No, good question.

[1:03:10] >> But also, so John Doe wants to have his

[1:03:13] 50th birthday says birthday this way

[1:03:17] sign. Is that going to have to be

[1:03:20] >> separate from his application for the

[1:03:23] event? He's going to have to submit also

[1:03:25] another thing that says I want to place

[1:03:26] a sign. He would not be allowed to just

[1:03:28] place a sign there. Same birthday this

[1:03:30] way. Perhaps that could be put into the

[1:03:32] application for the

[1:03:34] >> Okay,

[1:03:34] >> it's a great point.

[1:03:37] >> But any kind of sign even that type of

[1:03:39] stuff would be included in this

[1:03:41] >> technically.

[1:03:41] >> Okay.

[1:03:44] >> So, make sure I'm the on the same page

[1:03:46] and we're doing what you're what you're

[1:03:47] needing for your department. So,

[1:03:49] >> yes. And um I mean if there's a revision

[1:03:52] that we need to make on the application,

[1:03:53] it would certainly be consistent.

[1:03:57] I don't think there is a revision to be

[1:04:00] made. I I don't know, Council Member

[1:04:02] Jones, if that's correct or not, but I I

[1:04:04] just want to make sure it's doing what

[1:04:06] you intended to do. And we're also going

[1:04:08] to align with our other ordinances we

[1:04:10] already have in place.

[1:04:12] >> This definitely does not impact the

[1:04:14] other ordinances that we have because it

[1:04:16] is very very much specific to parks. So,

[1:04:19] it doesn't do anything to the other

[1:04:21] side.

[1:04:24] >> I Yes. And I think I think we've

[1:04:29] explained it enough that

[1:04:33] the ordinances that pertain to other

[1:04:36] signs throughout the city we have the

[1:04:41] how many feet where it can be.

[1:04:44] >> Oh, that's very Yeah.

[1:04:45] >> Very clear.

[1:04:46] >> Incredibly specific. And it spells out

[1:04:48] different types of signs and sizes.

[1:04:50] >> Yeah.

[1:04:51] >> So, we just need to make sure that we're

[1:04:52] enforcing that. And if park is um aware

[1:04:56] of some of those things, they can kind

[1:04:57] of try to prevent uh

[1:05:01] anything that's obviously gonna

[1:05:04] upset somebody's apple cart.

[1:05:09] Um, is it possible, this is not having

[1:05:12] to do anything to do with this

[1:05:14] ordinance, but since we talked about

[1:05:15] signs so much, can we get a small just

[1:05:19] little overview on what sign ordinance

[1:05:22] looks like in the city at large, I

[1:05:25] >> sections 27-500 through 27-506.

[1:05:29] >> Yes. And I'm and I'm in there and I will

[1:05:32] continue to research. We talk about

[1:05:33] rightways and things like that, too. And

[1:05:35] I haven't seen that yet in this section,

[1:05:37] but I will do some more research outside

[1:05:40] of our meeting on that. But I was just

[1:05:42] curious if we get a quick make sure that

[1:05:43] we are kind of aligning with our

[1:05:46] thoughts.

[1:05:46] >> What we have currently produced, but we

[1:05:49] trust that.

[1:05:52] >> Thank you.

[1:05:53] >> To Max Max's point, um,

[1:05:58] if we had I hate to drag this on. If we

[1:06:02] had uh like postcard that just showed

[1:06:06] that you know your sign can be here or

[1:06:09] it can look like this but you can't do

[1:06:11] this.

[1:06:12] >> It's not too I think the the level of

[1:06:16] details can be such

[1:06:18] >> too much. Okay, never mind.

[1:06:21] >> Any other questions for Chris on this?

[1:06:24] >> Move to second rating by title only.

[1:06:29] » Ridenower.

[1:06:30] >> Yes. Osborne,

[1:06:31] >> yes.

[1:06:32] >> Latari,

[1:06:33] >> yes.

[1:06:34] >> yes.

[1:06:34] >> Uler,

[1:06:35] >> yes.

[1:06:37] >> An ordinance amending section 15-3 of

[1:06:40] the code of city ordinances of the city

[1:06:42] of Warrenburg, Missouri, regarding

[1:06:44] posting signs. This is for adoption or

[1:06:47] rejection. Rydenower,

[1:06:49] >> yes.

[1:06:50] >> Osborne,

[1:06:51] >> yes.

[1:06:51] >> Latari,

[1:06:52] >> yes.

[1:06:52] >> Jones,

[1:06:53] >> yes.

[1:06:54] >> Mueller,

[1:06:54] >> yes.

[1:06:55] >> Thank you.

[1:07:00] Don't leave yet. [laughter]

[1:07:02] >> Item 824,

[1:07:04] ordinance amending section 15-4

[1:07:07] of the code of city ordinances of the

[1:07:09] city of Orangeburg, Missouri regarding

[1:07:11] animals. Chris,

[1:07:13] >> this ordinance has to do with care of

[1:07:15] animals. Uh the ordinance remains really

[1:07:17] the same um that is existing no harming,

[1:07:22] mistreating animals. A new addition that

[1:07:25] prohibits the feeding of animal periods

[1:07:29] uh for reasons of health to the animals

[1:07:32] as well as park users regarding

[1:07:34] potential aggressiveness and health

[1:07:36] reasons. This is consistent with

[1:07:38] Missouri conservation in regards to

[1:07:41] feeding wild animals. Um this ordinance

[1:07:44] does allow u though for fishing and also

[1:07:47] the annual deer hemp uh as approved by

[1:07:50] the director and that's an example that

[1:07:53] is also approved by the park board and

[1:07:55] kind of to city council or final

[1:07:56] approvement. This basically is an

[1:07:59] ordinance that stays pretty much the

[1:08:00] same with the exception of adding the

[1:08:05] prohibiting feeding animals. So we could

[1:08:08] post that sign.

[1:08:13] » Any questions for Chris on this?

[1:08:16] >> Move to second reading by title only.

[1:08:18] >> Thank you.

[1:08:19] >> Renau,

[1:08:20] >> yes.

[1:08:21] >> Osborne,

[1:08:21] >> yes.

[1:08:22] >> Latari,

[1:08:23] >> yes.

[1:08:23] >> Jones,

[1:08:24] >> yes.

[1:08:24] >> Uler,

[1:08:25] >> yes.

[1:08:27] >> And the ordinance amending section 15-4

[1:08:29] of the code of city ordinances of the

[1:08:31] city of Warrenburg, Missouri regarding

[1:08:33] animals. This is for adoption or

[1:08:36] rejection. Rydenower,

[1:08:38] >> yes.

[1:08:38] >> Osborne,

[1:08:39] >> yes.

[1:08:40] >> Latari,

[1:08:41] >> yes.

[1:08:41] >> Jones,

[1:08:42] >> yes.

[1:08:42] >> Mueller,

[1:08:43] >> yes.

[1:08:44] >> Thank you.

[1:08:44] Chris, would you like to do

[1:08:47] this one more time?

[1:08:48] >> Yeah.

[1:08:49] >> An ordinance amending section 15-5

[1:08:52] of the Cody City ordinances of the city

[1:08:54] of Warrenburg, Missouri regarding

[1:08:56] swimming presented by Chris. Again, this

[1:09:00] uh this ordinance has to do with uh the

[1:09:02] swimming and um is it the same? It's the

[1:09:06] same that there are no no swimming uh as

[1:09:09] posted. U the proposed amendment allows

[1:09:12] parks and recreation dire excuse me

[1:09:15] director or designate uh to make an

[1:09:18] exception to this as necessary but it

[1:09:22] would be for only safe and effective

[1:09:24] operations. Um I can think of one

[1:09:28] example is on this and um regarding uh

[1:09:32] cardboard boat races that have been

[1:09:34] requested with us before out of Lion's

[1:09:37] Leg uh from different groups, mostly

[1:09:40] college groups. Uh but we have used the

[1:09:43] indoor pool at NASA in these events

[1:09:45] because of our current uh but I've been

[1:09:48] in other cities that have used legs and

[1:09:50] they absolutely love it. So I'm not

[1:09:53] saying that's something that we would do

[1:09:55] depending on the circumstances in

[1:09:57] regards to liability insurance guidance

[1:09:59] and all of that kind of stuff, but this

[1:10:01] just really keeps it consistent with the

[1:10:04] director has the opportunity to make

[1:10:05] this decision. So once again, that's the

[1:10:08] only change in this particular

[1:10:09] ordinance, but it remains to go swimming

[1:10:13] and I'll answer any questions.

[1:10:17] >> Any questions?

[1:10:18] >> No questions.

[1:10:19] >> N. So, nobody should be swimming,

[1:10:21] waiting, or bathing.

[1:10:25] » Pardon?

[1:10:26] >> No one should be swimming, waiting, or

[1:10:28] bathing in any pond or pool or stream.

[1:10:33] >> All of those.

[1:10:35] >> Yes.

[1:10:37] >> And just to be clear, that's just on

[1:10:39] parks and wreck land. So, if they had a

[1:10:41] pond in their backyard, nobody's

[1:10:42] stopping anybody from jumping in at

[1:10:44] Lakeidge

[1:10:47] » Not in your jurisdiction. Okay.

[1:10:50] >> Move to separating by title only.

[1:10:54] >> Ridenower.

[1:10:55] >> Yes.

[1:10:55] >> Osborne.

[1:11:01] >> An ordinance amending section 15-5 of

[1:11:04] the code of city ordinances of the city

[1:11:19] you also for your work on this.

[1:11:21] >> Thank you.

[1:11:24] >> Item 9.1, a resolution authorizing the

[1:11:27] disposable this the disposal of

[1:11:29] city-owned property presented by Mike

[1:11:31] Scrag. Change of

[1:11:35] >> presenter here present this on keepings.

[1:11:38] If you throw in curve balls, I'm going

[1:11:40] to have to ask you to postpone another

[1:11:43] meeting. But I think it's fairly

[1:11:44] straightforward. As we change out

[1:11:46] equipment and uh do routine maintenance,

[1:11:48] we end up with surplus equipment, things

[1:11:51] that are kind of run their useful life

[1:11:55] for us. Um and the state of Missouri has

[1:11:57] made provision that we can donate those

[1:12:00] or sell those to other agencies without

[1:12:02] any liability. That's a big concern in

[1:12:04] terms of any assurance that you might be

[1:12:07] making if you transfer that equipment.

[1:12:09] So, uh rest assured that there's no

[1:12:11] liability that goes with it. We have 20

[1:12:14] sections of one and 3/4 inch fire hose,

[1:12:16] eight fire nozzles, and a utility rope

[1:12:19] and bag that are surplus for us. The

[1:12:21] Montro Missouri Fire Department's

[1:12:23] expressed interest in it in the

[1:12:25] resolution before you would authorize

[1:12:27] donating it to the Montro Fire

[1:12:29] Department.

[1:12:31] >> I move to approve the resolution.

[1:12:36] » Rydenower,

[1:12:37] >> yes.

[1:12:38] >> Osborne,

[1:12:38] >> yes.

[1:12:39] >> Lati,

[1:12:40] >> yes.

[1:12:40] >> Jones,

[1:12:41] >> yes. Uler.

[1:12:42] >> Yes.

[1:12:48] » Item 10, appearances to the council not

[1:12:51] listed on the agenda.

[1:12:53] There's no one wanting to appear.

[1:12:56] No one. All right. Item 11,

[1:12:59] miscellaneous matters from the mayor

[1:13:01] andor city council.

[1:13:05] » Yay.

[1:13:08] City staff update. City staff update.

[1:13:10] city manager.

[1:13:11] >> I don't have a lot. Uh, as I think you

[1:13:13] know, I traveled last week um to city

[1:13:15] manager conference and then got back and

[1:13:18] then turned around and traveled to

[1:13:19] strategic deterrence coalition symposium

[1:13:22] in Alexandria, Virginia. That was very

[1:13:25] informative for me. I traveled with four

[1:13:28] other members of the way area leadership

[1:13:29] council. I ended up with a nationwide

[1:13:32] um symposium. There were a lot of

[1:13:35] fourstar and three star generals there

[1:13:37] speaking about the nuclear deterrent. um

[1:13:40] and represent I don't I can't say with

[1:13:42] confidence on every base but it seemed

[1:13:44] as if they're representative of every

[1:13:46] base and installation related to nuclear

[1:13:49] missiles, airplanes or submarines. So uh

[1:13:53] gave you a lot of context um

[1:13:56] and nothing top secret nothing uh that a

[1:13:59] civilian like myself couldn't hear but

[1:14:01] it gave me a lot more context in terms

[1:14:02] of the mission and how life fix it.

[1:14:08] Thank you for represent out there.

[1:14:10] >> Yeah, just happy to go along and learn

[1:14:12] quite a bit as much from the other

[1:14:14] attendees as presentations.

[1:14:17] >> Great. Thank you.

[1:14:19] >> Administrative services department.

[1:14:21] >> So quick. Um so the legend came out a

[1:14:24] couple weeks ago. Hope you all enjoyed

[1:14:25] that. I love getting about so thank you

[1:14:28] for that opportunity, Chris. Um our

[1:14:29] popular annual financial report um is on

[1:14:31] our website. It's simply kind of a user

[1:14:33] friendly summary of the part of the

[1:14:35] audit report that you guys all heard at

[1:14:36] your last date. Just wanted to plug

[1:14:38] that. And then um as the HR person, we

[1:14:41] had an open enrollment last week for all

[1:14:42] of our employees. Those meetings are

[1:14:44] well attended. Is there a chance to

[1:14:45] learn about all the benefits that we

[1:14:46] offer? Absolutely. Those are passing up.

[1:14:48] That's it for me.

[1:14:51] >> Thank you.

[1:14:52] Uh city clerk.

[1:14:56] >> Uh nothing for me tonight.

[1:14:59] >> Community development. Barbara.

[1:15:02] >> Well, it took me a minute to find this

[1:15:04] ordinance, so not to belabor the point,

[1:15:06] but

[1:15:07] >> but

[1:15:10] way is section 14- I

[1:15:14] signs on private property 27-500.

[1:15:17] >> Chapter 14 for reference is offenses.

[1:15:20] >> Yes.

[1:15:21] >> Thank you.

[1:15:22] for that information. Um,

[1:15:24] >> I was going to say sign questions should

[1:15:26] all

[1:15:28] and then just as you know we'll have the

[1:15:32] Memorial Day holiday coming up and that

[1:15:34] will delay our service routes for trash

[1:15:37] collection, recycling, all of our solid

[1:15:39] waste services by one day. Monday will

[1:15:41] be picked up on Tuesday, Tuesday and

[1:15:43] Wednesday and so forth. Um, we have had

[1:15:46] a significant increase in the number of

[1:15:48] people signing up for our texting

[1:15:50] emailing service since the legend came

[1:15:52] out. So, we have 199 people signed up

[1:15:56] right now. We'll get a notice about that

[1:15:59] the day before their trash is nice.

[1:16:02] >> That's probably about 24 36 hour notice

[1:16:06] that. So,

[1:16:06] >> thanks for doing that.

[1:16:08] >> Yeah, that's great.

[1:16:09] >> Quick question about the housing count.

[1:16:11] Is that something that that maybe the

[1:16:14] city had at some point long ago and it's

[1:16:16] just very hard to keep on top of as far

[1:16:19] as how many actual housing units are

[1:16:21] within city limits because it seems like

[1:16:24] that's something that we don't that's

[1:16:26] not a kind of a known number

[1:16:29] >> related to solid waste or related to

[1:16:32] just

[1:16:32] >> really I really just in general I mean

[1:16:34] it's the question came to my mind

[1:16:36] because of solid waste because

[1:16:39] that the number of households serves

[1:16:41] serve changes. I know that obviously

[1:16:43] with new units and units going offline,

[1:16:46] but do we have like a a running tally of

[1:16:51] how many housing units are in the city?

[1:16:53] >> We do. No, we don't have an official

[1:16:56] list. We had um

[1:17:02] we had the census estimates and which is

[1:17:05] what we originally based our solid waste

[1:17:08] RFP and proposed contract off of. And

[1:17:12] then you have um

[1:17:16] probably a fairly accurate list

[1:17:19] based on your sewer accounts

[1:17:22] >> which is actually based off of our water

[1:17:25] accounts that we get from Missouri

[1:17:26] American water who does not make it easy

[1:17:29] for us to say this is our number.

[1:17:32] >> We have had this question multiple times

[1:17:35] and

[1:17:36] >> we can't get a clear this is our number.

[1:17:39] And then when you throw multif family

[1:17:41] units in whether they're up and

[1:17:43] available for rents and

[1:17:44] >> for sure. Yeah. I I think if

[1:17:47] >> if this community and communities that

[1:17:50] have a very accurate solid number would

[1:17:53] be communities that have occupancy

[1:17:55] permits

[1:17:56] uh and require an annual or every

[1:17:59] fiveyear inspection or something like

[1:18:01] that. occupancy of all units, not just

[1:18:06] like we have a certificate of occupancy

[1:18:08] we issue at the end of a permit, but

[1:18:12] there are cities that require all

[1:18:15] resolution

[1:18:17] of an annual occupancy license.

[1:18:19] >> Gotcha.

[1:18:20] >> And you'd have to have a system like

[1:18:22] that, I think. Yeah. and very very good

[1:18:25] compliance and strong enforcement

[1:18:28] >> extra staff

[1:18:29] >> in order to keep a very accurate number.

[1:18:32] Yeah,

[1:18:33] >> the number it while you see that number

[1:18:37] move on our house count that truly can

[1:18:39] be a factor of just move in move out.

[1:18:43] >> Yeah. I I mean that's not if we saw

[1:18:46] swings of a thousand I would really

[1:18:49] worry but when we're seeing a swing of

[1:18:53] it's it's not worrisome to staff or to

[1:18:57] our contracts.

[1:18:59] >> Okay. Thank you for explaining that. I

[1:19:01] appreciate it.

[1:19:02] >> That uh being said on the housing, would

[1:19:05] a housing study solve that issue?

[1:19:08] >> It'll do an inventory housing as a as

[1:19:12] you see it from the street, but it still

[1:19:14] wouldn't necessarily know how many units

[1:19:15] are in it and how many they they have

[1:19:19] access to some census data and they'll

[1:19:20] look at utility, but they're still going

[1:19:22] to kind of be interpolating the number.

[1:19:27] So the census is kind of the the best

[1:19:29] number to go off of.

[1:19:31] >> Yeah, but it's a little dated

[1:19:33] CS is question.

[1:19:38] » Understood. Thank you.

[1:19:41] Fire department. Mike, how you doing?

[1:19:44] >> All right.

[1:19:46] >> Again, parks.

[1:19:47] >> Parks department.

[1:19:49] >> Yeah.

[1:19:49] >> Oh, we've seen enough of them.

[1:19:52] >> Gonna make it real quick. Uh first of

[1:19:54] all our last couple Rhythm Cutings

[1:19:56] Community Center and also out of Hun

[1:19:58] Park for 21st century. Thank you for all

[1:20:01] those who attend uh very nice to have

[1:20:03] those events. Uh the coming this coming

[1:20:06] Thursday uh noon ribbon cutting at the

[1:20:09] Marian Hancock tennis courts uh

[1:20:12] renovation and also six new pickle ball

[1:20:14] courts donated by the Blaine uh Witworth

[1:20:17] Foundation.

[1:20:18] Then the following Thursday will be the

[1:20:20] ribbon cutting for the Lions Lake

[1:20:23] project on Thursday at 12:00 noon on the

[1:20:25] 21st. Also, um a special appointment

[1:20:29] committee was set up by the park board

[1:20:31] to review various policies and programs

[1:20:34] offerings that uh um came up with a

[1:20:38] couple items and things that were

[1:20:39] approved by the park board. One is uh

[1:20:43] there's going to be higher education for

[1:20:45] the fact all seniors that have Medicaid

[1:20:48] and Medicare to let them know they

[1:20:50] qualify for Silver Speakers or Renew

[1:20:53] Active and uh some know this but not

[1:20:55] all. So we're going to really make an

[1:20:57] effort to do that. This will help with

[1:20:59] those in financial need. So those

[1:21:02] insurance companies pay for those. The

[1:21:04] other also is uh a show of gratitude our

[1:21:08] War Mornsburg area seniors for all um

[1:21:11] that they contribute to the community

[1:21:12] and um as community membership promotion

[1:21:16] actually the park board has approved for

[1:21:18] each Thursday to be declared senior day

[1:21:20] at the community center and the facility

[1:21:23] is going to be free of use. They can use

[1:21:25] any area in the community center. Um

[1:21:28] this is a pilot program that's going to

[1:21:30] start May 21st. pilot means not forever

[1:21:33] but it will continue until further

[1:21:35] notice. Um the idea is that the seniors

[1:21:38] enjoy coming and walking the track of

[1:21:40] that particular day. Also there's a

[1:21:42] certain Thursday that's fried chicken

[1:21:44] day that's very popular ought to be

[1:21:46] pretty filled and hopefully one spouse

[1:21:48] will hit the other one and say we need

[1:21:50] to join all the time so they're not

[1:21:51] coming one time therefore we expand our

[1:21:54] membership. That's our selfish side but

[1:21:56] the giving side is what the park would

[1:21:58] want to do. Um also um Parkport uh

[1:22:03] included they would like to have uh a

[1:22:05] new position in our programming. Uh my

[1:22:08] first words if we can afford it and that

[1:22:11] would be u a programmer that would be

[1:22:13] working closer with senior programming

[1:22:15] uh the differently aabled and community

[1:22:18] uh special events specifically at the

[1:22:20] community center. So that idea is in

[1:22:23] works. Um and the last update I want to

[1:22:26] give is Lance Lake. Well, we have had an

[1:22:29] issue with the fountain at uh at at the

[1:22:32] uh at the lake and it needs a part

[1:22:36] that's on backward. Right now, it's

[1:22:38] running and uh but as soon as that burns

[1:22:41] out, the fountain's got to stop. So, I

[1:22:43] hope that a piece of equipment comes in

[1:22:45] quickly. It's like a fuse. Um, we're

[1:22:49] looking at uh possibly replacing that

[1:22:52] fountain at some point in the near

[1:22:54] future, but right now I just want you to

[1:22:56] know if it goes out, we're doing the

[1:22:58] best we can to have that come in. Um,

[1:23:00] also you may have noticed already that

[1:23:03] the plant life and algae is already

[1:23:05] starting to blossom. I mean, quickly.

[1:23:07] Uh, it's earlier than I have seen it. I

[1:23:09] called and talked to Missouri

[1:23:11] conservation and also uh, Blue Belly

[1:23:14] Laboratories who we work with. Uh they

[1:23:16] let me know that it's this way across um

[1:23:19] Missouri and other areas. Uh very cool

[1:23:23] season, a lot of heavy rain. Now comes

[1:23:26] the sunshine and comes the bloom. We

[1:23:28] also have a double whammy from that

[1:23:30] dredging actually provides very fertile

[1:23:33] soil for rapid growing plant life.

[1:23:36] >> So you see it out there quickly. Um

[1:23:39] >> Friday when I was out there it was like,

[1:23:41] "Oh, this looks so beautiful." Monday

[1:23:44] morning early I drove. I said, "Oh my

[1:23:46] gosh." And so it goes very quickly and

[1:23:48] it's coming in very fast. Um as a

[1:23:51] solution um working with both Missouri

[1:23:53] conservation and laboratories of an

[1:23:56] approved process. We've done copper

[1:23:58] sulfate before and that is approved.

[1:24:00] There's also a uh product called Gallian

[1:24:04] SC and this goes directly to the areas

[1:24:06] where the algae grows and and both

[1:24:09] Missouri conservation and of course this

[1:24:11] company of the laboratories. Uh it is

[1:24:13] safe for the fish and wildlife. So we're

[1:24:16] going to try to I've asked for those

[1:24:17] applications to be made as soon as

[1:24:18] possible. We've done it for the last few

[1:24:20] years. We've usually done it u in June

[1:24:23] and July, but now this has come quicker

[1:24:25] than it ever has. But I just want you to

[1:24:28] know that we're on as quickly as we can

[1:24:29] to try to keep that so it doesn't uh

[1:24:33] stop kids from fishing, you know. So,

[1:24:37] I'll answer any questions you need about

[1:24:39] that.

[1:24:40] >> Any timeline on stocking the lake?

[1:24:44] >> Oh, yes. Um, yes and no. Yes. I calling

[1:24:49] Missouri Conservation Weekly and they

[1:24:51] were telling me, "You're on the

[1:24:52] schedule. You're on the schedule." They

[1:24:54] of course were going around to all these

[1:24:55] different lakes because the process, the

[1:24:58] time and the rain, different things that

[1:24:59] stop them. They can't tell me the exact

[1:25:01] time, but we are on their schedule. I

[1:25:03] put in a very early request, as in right

[1:25:06] as soon as we started draining the lake

[1:25:08] last year, and so hopefully it'll be

[1:25:10] coming soon. I will tell you that there

[1:25:12] are fish there um with the overflow from

[1:25:15] Ple. Um I've seen little fish in there

[1:25:18] and I saw one jumping. So, but stocking

[1:25:22] it's going to be much better, but it's

[1:25:23] coming soon and I will definitely inform

[1:25:25] everyone as soon as that truck comes.

[1:25:28] >> Thank you.

[1:25:29] >> All right. Thank you.

[1:25:30] >> Thanks.

[1:25:33] » Public works department.

[1:25:34] >> No, please.

[1:25:35] >> Oh, please.

[1:25:38] [laughter]

[1:25:42] » Uh just wanted to address uh let you

[1:25:44] know all the rain that we had. Windows

[1:25:47] still sealed up and stairway.

[1:25:51] Now, the door, the lash downstairs,

[1:25:53] we're working on that. The door kind of

[1:25:55] lets a little water in, but that's we're

[1:25:58] working on that. But anyway, pretty

[1:26:01] pleased on them windows. So, then just

[1:26:04] so you're aware, we've deployed the new

[1:26:06] speed trailer out. Um it's up in Cahill

[1:26:09] right now. Um, we were looking at

[1:26:11] getting rid of the old one, but once we

[1:26:14] actually got it working, uh, while we

[1:26:16] were order ordering the new one, we've

[1:26:18] deployed it out as well. It's down off

[1:26:20] of old Ridge View Drive um, in the

[1:26:24] school school area um, where the bridge

[1:26:27] cross down there. So, right now we have

[1:26:30] two of them. We'll monitor the older one

[1:26:32] because we've had a lot of issues with

[1:26:33] that over the years, but it's working

[1:26:36] pretty decent amount. the new UTV side

[1:26:40] by side that we were officers made an

[1:26:42] arrest out of it last night. They're

[1:26:44] actually training training on it. Uh

[1:26:46] figuring out how to operate it, pulled

[1:26:48] out of the PD and uh they end up taking

[1:26:50] a guy who been identified

[1:26:53] >> with some pretty hard criminals and got

[1:26:56] a gun off street with us. So he was

[1:26:58] seemed surprised uh that we were into

[1:27:01] something like that. He took off running

[1:27:03] from them. So pleased on that. and our

[1:27:06] vehicles are getting ready to start

[1:27:07] being delivered, the command staff

[1:27:09] vehicles. Can't thank you enough for

[1:27:11] that. Uh on the vehicle deal with the

[1:27:14] city manager and your guys' support, we

[1:27:17] have having vehicles drive like flies

[1:27:19] with motors starting to go out. Um

[1:27:22] decommission another one this week

[1:27:23] because another motor issue. So that was

[1:27:26] much needed. Appreciate that. Also

[1:27:28] appreciate the support on the rifles.

[1:27:30] They're supposed to be being delivered

[1:27:32] this week as well. Um, can't thank you

[1:27:35] all enough for all the equipment that

[1:27:37] we're able to put in place. And the

[1:27:39] solar, I believe, is almost completed.

[1:27:42] Uh, they the build's complete and the

[1:27:44] wiring's done, but they got

[1:27:45] >> it's all connected, but we're waiting on

[1:27:48] Ever to give us the PTO permission to

[1:27:52] operate, which they say takes about 30

[1:27:55] days. So,

[1:27:58] >> we've had a lot going on. So,

[1:27:59] >> yes. Anyway, thank you.

[1:28:01] >> Quick question, Keith. I'm sorry. Um,

[1:28:04] Blue Shield grants.

[1:28:05] >> Yes.

[1:28:05] >> Any updates on that?

[1:28:07] >> The Blue Shield grant last year was what

[1:28:09] uh bought us side by side. We put in for

[1:28:11] the Blue Shield grant. This year we

[1:28:13] don't know what the money is going to be

[1:28:14] allocated for. We don't know how much

[1:28:16] they're going to allocate or any of that

[1:28:17] stuff yet. So,

[1:28:18] >> do you recall when we learned last year?

[1:28:20] Was that late summer?

[1:28:21] >> Usually around I think June.

[1:28:23] >> Okay.

[1:28:23] >> Like late June, July time because we

[1:28:26] were looking at the clock and then had

[1:28:28] to really put our heads together and

[1:28:30] figure out what we're going to spend

[1:28:31] that on. So, but it's very specific of

[1:28:34] what you can actually spend the money

[1:28:36] on.

[1:28:36] >> Okay.

[1:28:37] >> So, any

[1:28:38] >> Thanks.

[1:28:38] >> the um has has any any of the units,

[1:28:42] your vehicles been equipped with the um

[1:28:46] the electronic tickets?

[1:28:48] >> Oh, so we're having them built right

[1:28:52] now. The vehicles are down at LA

[1:28:53] upfitters. And when they are being

[1:28:55] delivered, the command's going to be

[1:28:57] having them delivered first, but the

[1:29:00] patrol units, we're having a few of the

[1:29:02] newer ones uh having the ones that we're

[1:29:06] being keeping down in Clinton, they're

[1:29:08] putting new consoles in to support the

[1:29:10] credit ticket writers. So, we're working

[1:29:13] on it. It just it takes a lot of time.

[1:29:16] >> Okay, good.

[1:29:18] >> Questions? No, but I say Keith, our

[1:29:21] former police chief, Jean Burton, is

[1:29:23] having some real

[1:29:24] >> um he's he's back to Warrenburg uh at

[1:29:28] the country club.

[1:29:29] >> Yes. Y

[1:29:29] >> So, didn't really want to go into a lot

[1:29:32] of specifics last uh last time, but uh

[1:29:34] keep them in your curse.

[1:29:36] >> Yep.

[1:29:36] >> Thank you.

[1:29:37] >> Thanks, Chief.

[1:29:40] >> Public works bill.

[1:29:43] as chief mentioned uh the solar so all

[1:29:47] three solars are completed up to the

[1:29:50] point for that we're waiting on Everg to

[1:29:53] give us commission outbreak so takes

[1:29:56] about 30 days for that not sure what

[1:29:58] happens in that time but we'll wait the

[1:30:01] time and then we'll have the go-ahhead

[1:30:03] hopefully to connect and get it done but

[1:30:06] all three so thank you guys for getting

[1:30:08] that done it's

[1:30:11] 90% there Um, the plant expansion's

[1:30:14] going quite well.

[1:30:16] Nothing major is going on. They're

[1:30:18] installing the SPR and they're working

[1:30:22] on the re beds. So, going well. Uh,

[1:30:25] street department is out doing some

[1:30:28] storm water

[1:30:30] drain improvements. Uh, so you'll see

[1:30:33] them throughout. And then on Wednesday,

[1:30:35] they plan on being on Meguire to repair

[1:30:38] those areas that people are not happy

[1:30:41] about. I have had to comment on some

[1:30:45] forms that, you know, this is just a

[1:30:47] temporary fix. It is planned on being

[1:30:50] the builds. So, had lots of issues with

[1:30:53] that. The sidewalk program opened last

[1:30:57] Thursday,

[1:30:58] no, Friday, and uh we're happy with the

[1:31:02] number that's coming in there. So we'll

[1:31:05] be presenting that to you probably next

[1:31:07] council meeting

[1:31:09] so that you

[1:31:11] okay us using the contractor that was

[1:31:14] the low bid.

[1:31:15] >> The sidewalk program is

[1:31:19] >> tell me what that is. So our sidewalk

[1:31:21] program is when we were doing zone one,

[1:31:24] two, three.

[1:31:24] >> Yes.

[1:31:25] >> That that's our sidewalk program. What

[1:31:27] we're doing with the curb and ADA, which

[1:31:31] is where we did railroad, we did market

[1:31:33] and stuff like that. Again, it's all

[1:31:35] concrete work. Um, but this year the

[1:31:38] sidewalk program, we're touching areas

[1:31:41] where we've had some major upheavalss in

[1:31:46] a lot of our sidewalks. So we're not

[1:31:49] going to concentrate so much on the

[1:31:51] zone, it's going to be hitting some

[1:31:54] major

[1:31:56] needed.

[1:31:57] >> So,

[1:31:57] >> okay.

[1:31:58] >> You might touch on Main Street.

[1:32:00] >> Uh Main Street, we had a sinkhole up

[1:32:05] here

[1:32:07] at the between Lynn and

[1:32:12] >> Jones.

[1:32:13] Thank you. In the Jones sub just

[1:32:15] west of the Jones subc is what I was

[1:32:18] looking for. But um we had a major

[1:32:20] sinkhole. We got down, inspected it. We

[1:32:23] got down in the cover. The floor of the

[1:32:26] covert pretty much washed out and

[1:32:29] allowed the area around the culbert to

[1:32:32] be, you know, so we've got some good

[1:32:35] size

[1:32:37] sink holes possible. Uh we're contacting

[1:32:40] the engineering firm, contacted the you

[1:32:44] know person who could do the work. Uh,

[1:32:47] it's coming back a little high. So,

[1:32:49] we're going to be

[1:32:52] doing our due diligence to see if we go

[1:32:54] ahead and just repair it or if we go

[1:32:57] ahead and rip it out and make it much

[1:33:00] better.

[1:33:00] >> So, you might have be actually be

[1:33:02] putting in maybe a bridge.

[1:33:04] >> Not a bridge. It'll still go back to a

[1:33:06] Gold type issue, but since Maine is so

[1:33:10] narrow, it might give us the opportunity

[1:33:13] to go ahead and prepare for a widening

[1:33:16] of that area in the future.

[1:33:20] So, we go back and we build it up the

[1:33:22] proper way and then possibly widen the

[1:33:26] street after that portion. We're still

[1:33:29] working on numbers and kind of ultimate

[1:33:31] solution, but don't want to be

[1:33:32] shortsighted and just do a cheap quick

[1:33:34] to fix and then read it later.

[1:33:37] >> Right.

[1:33:37] >> That looks like our thoughts.

[1:33:39] >> So, that is in the process. Um,

[1:33:42] collections crew, the van is being

[1:33:45] picked up this week to be have the

[1:33:47] camera installed. They're looking at

[1:33:50] return towards the end of June

[1:33:52] hopefully. So,

[1:33:54] it's moving along well.

[1:33:57] The

[1:33:59] lots of other projects throughout the

[1:34:02] city that project management working on.

[1:34:06] >> And quick question about the Meguire

[1:34:09] patch. Um

[1:34:12] >> when all of that I mean because we think

[1:34:14] the sinking is happening because so much

[1:34:17] earth was moved around to take all of

[1:34:20] the utilities out and move them and all

[1:34:21] of that. So, I'm wondering why didn't

[1:34:25] the engineers plan for that sinking and

[1:34:28] build something that wouldn't have sunk

[1:34:31] as much as it did? And I I'm not asking

[1:34:34] you to, you know, make excuses, but I'm

[1:34:37] curious why.

[1:34:38] >> Also, why I don't know how well it was

[1:34:42] tested when it was going back in in that

[1:34:44] area.

[1:34:45] >> So, everything south of uh North Street

[1:34:49] and everything basically little bit

[1:34:52] north of Emerson was up to compaction

[1:34:56] rating. I don't know if they skipped

[1:34:59] that area or

[1:35:00] >> I think we thought that timing would be

[1:35:02] a little bit better.

[1:35:03] >> I I can say the the designer and the

[1:35:06] contractor very deliberate in saying,

[1:35:08] you know, we're not building back this

[1:35:10] base as it was. Yeah.

[1:35:14] >> It started out hoping that one project

[1:35:16] could flow into another and

[1:35:18] >> Okay. So it was

[1:35:19] >> more time away there. They did go ahead

[1:35:22] and put asphalt down to make a smooth

[1:35:24] surface and it was kind of the hope that

[1:35:27] everything would hold together

[1:35:30] uh onto the next project before it it

[1:35:32] was noticeably failing and okay the

[1:35:34] timing just

[1:35:35] >> I knew they obviously didn't rebuild it

[1:35:37] the way I mean on purpose

[1:35:39] >> for sure but I thought

[1:35:41] >> but it was because the timing just

[1:35:43] >> took longer than

[1:35:45] >> they were hoping it was going to hold up

[1:35:47] longer. When is the emerging? When is

[1:35:49] the

[1:35:50] >> So, we're still working through

[1:35:53] paperwork with state. Uh Joe had a

[1:35:57] question or the state contacted Joe last

[1:36:01] week and Joe provided those requested

[1:36:05] information to the state last week.

[1:36:08] We're waiting to hear back from the

[1:36:09] state whether you know where we're at in

[1:36:12] the process.

[1:36:14] We're working with one engineer in the

[1:36:17] state to get this done and seems like he

[1:36:22] has questions. We respond that next day

[1:36:25] and it takes a week to get back to us.

[1:36:27] So,

[1:36:30] slow process.

[1:36:30] >> So, it very likely could be fall. Uh,

[1:36:33] no. We're still looking to hopefully get

[1:36:36] the request for proposal out,

[1:36:40] you know, within the next month. And

[1:36:42] then after that, it's going to be 30

[1:36:45] days. There's going to be almost 30

[1:36:47] days. We get all that and the contractor

[1:36:49] will have to figure out when he's got

[1:36:51] time. So, it could be August, it could

[1:36:54] be September. I'm hoping August, but

[1:36:59] >> it's a process. Um I first we got to get

[1:37:01] the state approval. Then we have to

[1:37:03] solicit the bids and then we account the

[1:37:06] contractor's schedule as well as

[1:37:09] material supplies

[1:37:10] >> and we don't know whether or not that's

[1:37:12] going to be capital coming back.

[1:37:14] >> We'll put it out for a bid. So see we

[1:37:17] get a respondent. I think capital's

[1:37:19] interested.

[1:37:19] >> Capital's very aware of it and familiar

[1:37:23] with it.

[1:37:23] >> So we've had some other uh bigger

[1:37:26] contractors reach out and they're aware

[1:37:27] of it too. Sure.

[1:37:31] » Not to uh keep the meeting going, but I

[1:37:34] do have two questions if I may. Uh going

[1:37:36] back to the Main Street project, do we

[1:37:39] have funds set aside for failing

[1:37:42] infrastructure like that or is that

[1:37:44] unbudgeted expense?

[1:37:45] >> Yeah, we we have reserve balance that we

[1:37:48] draw upon, but we don't have a budgeted

[1:37:51] line item for something that large.

[1:37:54] >> Okay. So part of that 25 year plan is to

[1:37:57] anticipate kind of a recurring street

[1:38:00] maintenance not I don't know we would

[1:38:01] have well we might have anticipated that

[1:38:03] but one thing that we really need to add

[1:38:05] are bridges and and fox

[1:38:09] we've been working on identifying those

[1:38:11] and try to come up with some cost

[1:38:16] >> uh second question would be milland

[1:38:17] overlay project I know we were holding

[1:38:20] off due to oil prices those have kind of

[1:38:22] flattened out a little bit but still

[1:38:24] kind of high. Are we gonna continue

[1:38:26] waiting or what do you think it'll last?

[1:38:28] >> We reached out to Advanced Asphalt and

[1:38:32] said that we wanted we were sort of

[1:38:34] pushing off until we got some projects

[1:38:37] done so that whenever they come in it's

[1:38:40] just a straight shop for them mainly

[1:38:43] railroad uh Holton Holton Market and

[1:38:48] some areas like that. Um so we got those

[1:38:52] projects down now and we said okay at

[1:38:54] the end of school season it's going to

[1:38:57] be better for you guys to come in. Uh

[1:39:00] they came back with the price

[1:39:05] compared to the you know asphalt price

[1:39:08] index. Uh they went up from I think it

[1:39:12] was 83 don't quote me this somewhere

[1:39:15] around $83 last year and it's only $87

[1:39:20] this year. So not as bad. We still

[1:39:24] probably have to cut back on some area

[1:39:27] but Dave's mechan's looking at that and

[1:39:31] we're going to go as soon as school's

[1:39:33] basically out.

[1:39:35] So that'll just be all summer. We'll be

[1:39:37] seeing most of that.

[1:39:39] >> Well, I I mean they're fast. I bet you

[1:39:42] it's going to be two weeks. They'll be

[1:39:44] >> in and out.

[1:39:45] >> Nice.

[1:39:46] >> But we're going to be watching them and

[1:39:47] making sure they're doing a job that we

[1:39:52] prove this year.

[1:39:53] >> Yes. And follow up on that, uh I was

[1:39:56] driving down Hawthorne and

[1:39:58] >> quite bumpy.

[1:39:59] >> One of those that they're going to come

[1:40:00] back in. They're going to do what they

[1:40:03] stated in the letter, which was first

[1:40:05] let it warm up, roll it, see if the

[1:40:07] rollers will help. If that doesn't work,

[1:40:11] was that the number one option?

[1:40:13] >> That was number one option.

[1:40:15] >> Then the second option was something.

[1:40:17] And then the third, they'll just replace

[1:40:19] it if it in those two options, it

[1:40:22] doesn't work.

[1:40:23] >> Okay. So, that'll all be happening here

[1:40:26] next month or so.

[1:40:27] >> Yeah. Okay. Good deal. time frame we get

[1:40:31] busy.

[1:40:32] >> I like it. Thank you.

[1:40:34] >> Good question.

[1:40:36] >> Thanks, Phil.

[1:40:38] >> I'm in the box.

[1:40:43] » Good. Mayor, council members, I just

[1:40:46] really quickly want to announce tomorrow

[1:40:48] at 10 o'clock, um, the summer of soccer

[1:40:51] committee will be hosting a business

[1:40:53] performance meeting. Um, it is for local

[1:40:56] businesses. We are providing an

[1:40:57] opportunity to attend in person or by

[1:40:59] Zoom. You can find the information for

[1:41:01] the meeting um in the Zoom link. If you

[1:41:04] go to visit warnsburg.com, it's on our

[1:41:07] calendar. You can also find the box. We

[1:41:10] have a little fancy little box now with

[1:41:12] summer of soccer. If you click on that,

[1:41:14] you can find the information about the

[1:41:15] business meeting on that. We will be

[1:41:17] discussing just a little bit about the

[1:41:20] event overview about what's happening

[1:41:22] right down the road. We'll be talking

[1:41:24] about the local initiative which is

[1:41:25] summer of soccer. We'll be doing like a

[1:41:27] little checklist, things to think about,

[1:41:30] um what an international visitor might

[1:41:33] expect, their experience, and just a

[1:41:35] visitor in general. We know that we've mentioned it several times, the

[1:41:39] whatifs, what a domestic traveler coming

[1:41:42] through. Um and again, I have to give a

[1:41:45] shout out to our um tourism industry

[1:41:48] partners. They make it happen year

[1:41:50] round. Um, and and last summer we were

[1:41:53] completely booked. I have no doubt this

[1:41:55] summer we will be completely booked.

[1:41:57] What's happening right down the road?

[1:41:59] Um, but we're going to make it a great

[1:42:01] summer. Um, absolutely no doubt. We're

[1:42:03] going to be talking about operational

[1:42:04] things to think about staffing and

[1:42:06] inventory and marketing. Um just today I

[1:42:09] had a convers two conversations with two

[1:42:12] different um individuals about the

[1:42:14] importance of thinking through the

[1:42:16] intellectual property with FIFA and

[1:42:18] World Cup and how um we just can't use

[1:42:21] what we want to use. Um and so we're

[1:42:23] going to talk about that and being very

[1:42:25] conscious of of of those and then the

[1:42:28] business resources that are available

[1:42:30] for them. Um we there are a lot of

[1:42:33] different resources that visit KC and um

[1:42:37] score KC have put forth visitor um

[1:42:40] international visitor profile studies

[1:42:42] their gain plan that explains all about

[1:42:46] the intellectual property what can and

[1:42:48] cannot be used. So there's a lot of

[1:42:50] great resources that are available. We

[1:42:52] have a lot of great local resources

[1:42:53] available. We have an incredible

[1:42:55] chamber, credible Main Street, Johnson

[1:42:57] County Economic Development. So we're

[1:42:59] going to be doing shoutouts for them as

[1:43:00] well. So tomorrow we'll be providing all

[1:43:03] that information. It will be recorded

[1:43:05] and we will be making that link

[1:43:06] available following. Thank you. Thank

[1:43:09] you.

[1:43:10] >> Thank you.

[1:43:11] >> Anything else?

[1:43:21] » Pick a pen. Any

[1:43:24] deployed.
