[0:04] 2021 board meeting into session. You

to the flag of the United States of
[0:18] America and to the republic for which it
stands, one nation under God,
[0:25] indivisible, with liberty and justice
for all.
[0:35] First item on the agenda would be a
consent agenda.
[0:38] » We have the regular meeting minutes from
January 6th. Sorry, from August.
[0:46] » What does that mean?
>> August.
[0:49] » August 18.6. There you go. uh ready mix
concrete bid awarded to Strider Ready
[0:55] Mix low bid and purchase a pave master
414 asphalt box in the amount of $58,85
[1:04] from JMG Equipment Company and that is
the state bid.
[1:10] » Are there any questions on that?
I'll entertain a motion to approve the
[1:15] consent agenda
[1:31] that
[1:35] » Alman Lang,
>> yes.
[1:37] » Alman Chandler,
>> yes.
[1:38] » Alman Crump,
>> yes.
[1:40] » Alman Porter,
>> abstain. I wasn't here.
[1:43] » Alman White,
>> yes.
[1:45] » Alman Roger,
>> yes.
[1:48] » Motion passes five to zero.
[1:55] » Next public comments. I do have one
person who submitted a uh public comment
[2:00] card. Uh Mr. Cruz Cruz,
[2:06] you come to the podium. I think you've
already stated your name.
[2:14] Good evening. Uh, tonight was the, uh,
Ashlin
[2:20] Meadows, uh, engineering bid. I guess
I'm a little confused why we're going
[2:26] through this. Again, this has already
been done. Nico Engineering did this in
[2:32] 200,
I'm gonna say from 15 to
[2:38] 17. And uh the the for the same exact
area and the city has no thing in this
[2:48] this was a contractor did this is when
all through the attorneys our city
[2:52] attorney said nope we don't need it. We
just again hear not till maybe about
[2:57] four or five years ago we donated the
detention pond that we were taking care
[3:02] of that was on private ground that we
had to take care of. And you know they
[3:08] at that time the the city attorney told
them you know there's this is not our
[3:12] thing. This you need to do with you know
this is your homeowner's thing. This is
[3:16] what you all need to do that doesn't
belong to the city. The thing I'm
[3:19] worried about is we're going to have
another indoor estates problem. And I
[3:24] don't know if any of you all know about
the waterway out there and behind Andor
[3:28] Estates. I'm sure Justin will tell you
all about it. Take you out there and
[3:33] show it to you. You talking about
something that's a mess to clean up and
[3:36] that was another one that the cities
decided, hey, we'll just take it over
[3:41] and now we're paying for it because you
all you all have no idea what what goes
[3:45] on out there. Christmas trees,
everything. It's all handone. No
[3:49] machines need it. Got one way in. And
that's now they put a fence up. There's
[3:54] a little 8 foot I don't even say 8 foot
wide gate to get in. You got to step
[3:59] down that far and then you got to walk
the whole thing, which is probably a
[4:03] little more than a quarter mile, and try
to clean it up. Everybody takes their
[4:07] dog feces, throws it in there, any kind
of trash goes in there, cable TV goes
[4:11] across it. It's just a mess. And that's
the same thing you're going to have
[4:15] here. And I don't know why we're
revisiting, spending this kind of money
[4:19] when it's already been done. I'm sorry,
but you know, it's not the city's thing
[4:24] to do the subdivision.
If you know, they got a problem. That's
[4:28] what they're homeowners association for.
They just need to take care of it. We
[4:33] did they, you know, there's a lot that
gets done that you all don't know about
[4:36] cutting these rightways and all this
stuff. It takes a lot of time and I
[4:41] don't know why the city ever started
doing it. [clears throat] So, that's
[4:44] just my two cents where instead of
spending what 80 close to $80,000 on a
[4:48] thing that's already been done, I'm
thinking Miko is the one that did it. If
[4:51] you want to be able to check back in
your records,
[4:54] » you say
Brad. Brad, did you say Nico with an N?
[5:00] » Nico. Nico Engineering. Yeah. Used to be
your used to be the engineering company
[5:04] for the city.
[5:08] » Yep.
[5:14] » Does anybody else like to speak? We give
you five minutes to speak. We ask you
[5:18] come to the podium, state your name, and
you can talk to us about whatever issues
[5:22] you may have.
[5:30] not see.
[5:34] Next, we'll have alter comments.
I'd like to say today I uh had the
[5:40] opportunity to uh go out to Pathfinders
facility. I was invited out uh the
[5:46] Missouri treasurer uh state of
Missouri's treasurer stopped in and
[5:51] visited at Pathfinders [clears throat]
and uh he was discussing or talking
[5:57] about a uh program called mole able for
families with uh special needs uh folks
[6:05] in their family. And I just wanted to
say that uh I would encourage everybody
[6:11] if you haven't had an opportunity to
stop in and visit Pathfinders. It was uh
[6:16] extraordinary today. And I would like to
thank uh the president of Pathfinders,
[6:23] Kathleen [clears throat] Hart Hart
Mills, uh for showing me around today.
[6:28] But it was a very uh enlightening couple
hours. So I do appreciate the time.
[6:33] » How much they educate and do up there is
amazing. It's it's a we're very
[6:38] fortunate here in the uh city of
Warrington to have such a uh great
[6:42] facility for uh our special needs
families.
[6:47] » And if people don't know what what all
he's speaking of, I I do encourage you
[6:50] to go up and see that. But um they're
very big on trying to help people um who
[6:56] have special needs be able to maybe live
in assisted living or have somebody come
[7:01] in and check on them but have more
independence in living which is huge.
[7:08] the also [clears throat] the Mo Ael uh
I'm going to uh see if we can't put that
[7:14] on our website uh link to the uh treasur
state treasur's office to uh if someone
[7:22] wanted to take a look at that so
I'll get that to you later Brandy
[7:31] I would like to vent a little bit
tonight
[7:36] um So unfortunately this week there was
a video posted to social media. I some
[7:43] of you most of you probably have seen it
by now. It was a very personal and I
[7:50] would consider it private event even
though it's public information.
[7:55] Uh unfortunately it's it's on social
media and it did not do anything
[8:03] to sway the opinion of the board. It
didn't help the board in any way and in
[8:10] fact I found it more divisive for the
board
[8:15] considering an already divisive issue
and um I wouldn't want that posted about
[8:21] me and I I don't think it was
appropriate and I I hope that we can
[8:28] come together as a community instead of
dividing the community further and and
[8:33] resolve our issues without
an unfortunate posting on social media.
[8:44] » I'll tell you later.
>> That's it.
[8:49] » I want to say that MODOT did get the
digital signs on 47. There's one on the
[8:55] county building right there in the
parking lot and one at the radio station
[9:00] that warn drivers of any accidents or
delays on uh Interstate 70.
[9:08] I did notice in this week they caught
the attention. I think I only had one
[9:14] person which that's
>> Yeah.
[9:16] » How how big is that? But one person was
like, "Why did they put it closer?" And
[9:19] I said, "I have no idea. That's my dad.
It's not us."
[9:22] » I didn't know they were doing them. They
just called me one time.
[9:25] » They're very noticeable. They're up.
[9:33] I'm glad the drivers have them now. I
wish they had them when I was working.
[9:37] So,
>> anything else?
[9:43] » So, touching on what Alderman quarter
was talking about. Um, Vivic Malik, I
[9:51] was invited to that as well. And, uh, I
spoke with him by a phone. I I did not
[9:57] know about it until I I got the phone
call yesterday evening. Um, so I don't
[10:02] know when you guys found out, but um, so
we were talking and he also wanted to
[10:08] bring awareness to the Trump accounts.
And if any of you don't know what those
[10:14] are, it's basically
um, an IRA program for children. And
[10:21] within a particular year, um,
little ones that were born within a
[10:28] year, which is passed, by the way, um,
they received $1,000 into that fund. So,
[10:34] um, the thing I I talked to them about,
it's confusing for a lot of young
[10:39] people, young families who
they don't have fiduciaries. they, you
[10:45] know, they're not real keen on buying
stocks and going through brokerage firms
[10:51] and things of that nature. So,
basically,
[10:57] it's just an avenue for families to use
that would generate um market pricing
[11:06] for their children instead of just
putting money into like a regular
[11:09] savings account where it's extremely
extremely low interest. So this gives
[11:15] them an opportunity to grow their money
a lot by the time the kid's 18. So, um,
[11:24] but unfortunately
it it's kind of difficult and that was a
[11:28] conversations that we had was I said,
you know, again, a lot of families, they
[11:32] don't know where to go, you know, in
order to do this. And I I said if I
[11:37] think it would be helpful if they could
list on their website um different
[11:42] brokerage firms that
are, you know, kind of doing this
[11:48] program a lot. I think you're fine. I
think
[11:50] » can educate them on that.
>> I don't [clears throat] think that would
[11:53] be legal doing that. So I just be
careful of that.
[11:57] » Oh, no, no, no. I'm talking I was
talking with them about listing that on
[12:03] the website to kind of explain it a
little bit better for young families,
[12:06] not for us to promote any brokerage
firms.
[12:10] » Um, but anyway, it it is a really good
resource for for young families looking
[12:15] to invest for their children's future.
So
[12:20] that's all I got.
>> Thank you.
[12:23] » I have one thing.
>> Sure.
[12:24] » I would just like to ask the community
to keep the ROM maker family and your
[12:28] prayers smart. I'm just going to leave
it at that. So thank you very much.
[12:37] [snorts]
>> Thank you
[12:44] with that. Um looking at a couple
appointments, one appointment for of
[12:50] Michael Hill for to planning and zoning
to fill the expired term or build
[12:54] inexpired term.
Anybody have any questions on that?
[13:01] » I'll entertain a motion to approve the
appointment of Michael Hill to planning
[13:04] and zone.
>> So move.
[13:06] » Second.
>> Motion made by Alman Chandler. Second by
[13:10] quarter by vote.
>> Alman Chandler.
[13:12] » Yes.
>> Alman Crumb. Yes.
[13:14] » Alman Porter.
>> Yes.
[13:15] » Alman White.
>> Yes.
[13:16] » Alman Roaker.
>> Yes.
[13:18] » Alman.
>> Yes.
[13:19] » Motion passes six to Z.
[13:24] » Next be a request for the road closure
for Warrington High School homecoming
[13:28] parade on October 4th, 2026.
Does anybody have any questions on that?
[13:35] » [clears throat]
[13:38] » standard chang
[13:43] for the Warrington High School
homecoming parade on October 4th.
[13:47] » So move second.
>> Motion made quarter second. Alman Rmaker
[13:52] vote.
>> Alman Crunk.
[13:54] » Yes.
>> Alman quarter.
[13:56] » Yes.
>> Alman White.
[13:57] » Yes.
>> Alman Roaker.
[13:59] » Yes.
>> Alman Lang.
[14:00] » Yes.
>> Alman Chandler.
[14:01] » Yes.
Motion passes six to zero.
[14:09] » Next thing will be discussion topic. It
will be landscaping ordinance. Uh I
[14:14] believe al
>> yes. So this is a topic that was brought
[14:17] up by commissioner Tibbitz at the
planning and zoning for discussion and I
[14:22] just wanted to get this across to you
guys to discuss it here as well. So the
[14:27] first thing was right now there's an
exception for all single family units
[14:33] shall be exempt from submitting a
landscape plan and from any of that. So
[14:39] I would like to remove that exception
and I would require them to have plans
[14:45] for every new development neighborhoods.
[14:51] » So do you guys have any discussion on
that? I I I would just I appreciate
[14:56] you're bringing this up, but wouldn't
this be something more fitting for a
[15:01] planning meeting that we're having in a
week or two? I [clears throat] mean,
[15:05] instead of trying to hash it out here
over a 30 minute time frame because I
[15:11] think this may be a very pretty
important uh issue that we get.
[15:18] » Absolutely.
Maybe just to get a little more in time
[15:22] to put input on it if you don't mind.
>> Yeah, I mean we could do that.
[15:29] » Is everybody else good with that?
>> I'm actually really good with either
[15:32] one. I mean, yeah, that's fine with me.
I think we can dedicate the larger
[15:38] portion of that day to discuss it.
>> Okay.
[15:41] » Um but I don't know. How do you guys
feel down there?
[15:45] Yeah, I think
>> have more time there.
[15:49] » Yeah, I'm good with it.
>> I don't mean to cut you off.
[15:54] » Oh, no, you're fine.
>> If you would just state it again so that
[15:57] everybody hears that again what it is
currently.
[15:59] » Well, there's multiple different parts
that you just brought up.
[16:03] » Oh, so it would be right now there's an
exception for all single family unit
[16:08] development where they don't have to
submit a landscaping plan to the city. I
[16:14] would want to remove that exception. So,
they would have to um submit a plan to
[16:19] us for new neighborhoods that do come
into the city. There is also a lot more
[16:25] to this where it's just adjusting our
landscaping ordinance to be more
[16:29] friendly to like have larger buffers
between industrial and residential,
[16:34] commercial and residential.
and changed some of our landscape
[16:39] ordinance to be more friendly to like
the environment
[16:44] » and
not trying to [clears throat] add it or
[16:47] stir that up, but
>> I know we discussed it before about
[16:50] adding a bigger buffer
>> is what you're saying. So more square
[16:54] footage or more footage
>> actually having a designated number for
[16:56] the buffer. Y
>> have you have you checked? Is this
[16:59] pretty similar to what other communities
do?
[17:01] » Well, quite a few communities have some
variance of this. It's not exactly what
[17:06] I have here, but very similar.
>> The only reason you bring that up is so
[17:12] that everybody understands that
>> you know what we're looking at
[17:17] discussing can do their homework.
>> So, did you want to like specify in
[17:20] there like
>> I know in the notes very specific
[17:25] changes I want to make.
>> Okay, good.
[17:27] » Yeah.
>> Okay.
[17:32] [snorts]
>> It shows it in your package.
[17:37] So, yeah, we'll move that to the
planning,
[17:39] » right?
>> Okay.
[17:40] » Thank you.
>> I've got something else that I I need to
[17:43] ask also
[cough] and [clears throat] I Brandy, I
[17:47] was going to call you about it yesterday
and I'm like, uh, you're she's off, so I
[17:50] didn't I'm just for tonight. Um, so when
Tony Thornton was in here, uh, Michael
[17:57] Thornton, I'm sorry. uh from EMA. We had
discussed setting up a natural and
[18:03] man-made disaster training for us and we
I think we talked about doing two
[18:09] sessions a year.
>> She she put out an email asking pretty
[18:12] much asking us when we would want that,
>> right? And so Michael, he he had called
[18:19] me and he asked me he goes, "So where
are you guys at with that?" Because I
[18:22] think he wanted to try to get one
together in November. So, would that be
[18:27] feasible for everyone
>> in order to pick a date, but yeah, it
[18:32] was already put out to be November.
>> I already put it out on text message
[18:35] earlier, but what I was planning on I
was going to bring that up also at the
[18:39] planning meeting on to figure out a date
that works for everybody because I've
[18:42] already talked to Michael um and we
discussed November.
[18:45] » Okay.
>> I talked to him as well. He wanted to do
[18:49] it in September.
>> Yeah, that's what he told me to.
[18:56] All right.
Anything else
[19:03] » with that? I'll turn over city to bring.
>> Good evening. The first thing I have for
[19:07] you tonight is actually one of those
engineering. This is a bill for the um
[19:13] the contract that you guys previously
approved at the last meeting. So this is
[19:18] just a bill for that
[19:22] for cockr engineering.
>> Are there any questions for that?
[19:27] » I'll entertain a motion for the first
reading bill number 36-26.
[19:33] » Second motion made by Wait, second by
Lane.
[19:39] An ordinance to authorize the mayor to
sign professional services agreement
[19:42] between [clears throat] Missouri and
Concrete Engineering for the Ashley
[19:45] Meadow storm water engineering project.
>> I'll entertain a motion for a second
[19:49] reading of bill number 36-26.
So
[19:53] » second
motion made chair
[19:59] » ordinance authorize the mayor to sign

[20:38] planning meeting.
>> So we may not have on hand but um
[20:43] does anybody know when the I guess is
there going to be a formal tournament
[20:46] again?
[20:50] » I don't know. I think so.
>> John's probably one to ask.
[20:56] » It's not a big deal. But um we just
catch up.
[21:00] » Bring in a lot of sand. You could have
worship pits, too.
[21:02] » I wish they had
[21:09] if anything else, we try and post it on
the website
[21:13] just so people understand what time it
is. I know it's not huge, but there are
[21:17] people that come to that every year. So,
>> all right. Any questions for Brandon?
[21:25] » Great.
>> Thank you. Next, we'll hear from finance
[21:28] officer Megan Bel. [snorts]
>> Good evening. Good evening, mayor and
[21:33] board. This is
>> Good evening. You have the July
[21:38] financials. So, a few highlights.
Revenue is favorable overall. And uh in
[21:43] the month of July, we received um the
community benefit payment for from
[21:47] Crusoe. So, uh, we're about 1.97
million. Um,
[21:53] and then in the building permit and plan
review fees, we're up 1.2 million for
[21:58] the building permit from Cruso. Um,
mainly driving that up. um
[22:03] [clears throat] franchise fees were
27,000 above projection um
[22:09] sorry from Amaran and in the water sewer
revenues were 160,000 above projection
[22:14] and that's primarily due to timing and
uh connection fees [snorts] in the
[22:19] expenses we are pretty much tracking
close to budget but there's some
[22:24] variances and a lot of that is due to
timing a few highlights being uh the
[22:28] water department 134,000 over budget due
to the emergency pump repairs sewer
[22:34] department 58,000 and that's over
several categories that are timing
[22:39] related. Uh same thing for street over
52,000
[22:44] um due to timing over across uh several
categories. The executive department is
[22:49] 22,000 over budget due to attorney fees.
And lastly, grounds and maintenance
[22:54] 18,000 over budget. However, that's
offset by the street light repair um
[22:59] insurance reimbursement that was driving
that expense up. You have any questions?
[23:07] » I do not.
>> That's all I have.
[23:11] » Thank you.
>> Thanks, Megan.
[23:14] » Maintenance Director Justin.
>> Good evening, Mayor and Board. Our
[23:18] monthly report for July.
Couple highlights. We did have um
[23:23] replaced two of the uh drinking
fountains at Binkley Woods and Dyer Park
[23:28] uh with the new replacements, drinking
fountains with the water bottle bottle
[23:32] fillers and they also still have a
regular drinking fountain. So, just kind
[23:36] of seen the kids have been happy to have
those there at the park. Um we did have
[23:42] two dumpster enclosures that were
repaired. Um,
[23:47] Binkley Woods and Dyer again
when one repair at the sports complex
[23:51] for the 3-in water lane water man kind
of blew out on one of the teeth. So, I
[23:57] don't know if there's exactly
highlights, but that's kind of what we
[23:59] spent some time on dealing with.
Got a note for the community as the
[24:04] daylight hours get shorter. Uh if you do
have street lights out uh on your street
[24:08] or in your subdivision, uh you can
contact city hall uh to report those or
[24:12] on the city's web web page. Um each
pole's identified with a tag number
[24:17] that's facing the street. Uh those are
rep represented with a wax number or a
[24:22] wa or even a Z. So if you see these
lights and want to get them called in,
[24:26] just kind of get an early start this
year before Halloween kind of gets gets
[24:29] here.
Um, other than that, we got a lot of
[24:32] pavilion rentals available for fall
parties. Reservations can be made
[24:36] through the city's website. Come out,
enjoy the parks.
[24:41] » Thank you.
>> I'm sorry. Who did you say to reporter?
[24:44] » Uh, you can contact city hall or on the
city's website, there's a uh click on
[24:49] the how-to uh tab and then down to
reporting, there's a street light
[24:52] section and you can fill out everything
online and those emails come directly
[24:55] into us. Thank you.
[25:00] So just enough to say that I was
contacted by uh five individuals who
[25:05] stated that the tennis courts, the ball
courts, I guess they this is the first
[25:10] time they've gone out to use them there
and really enjoyed it. Thought it looked
[25:15] nice. It was real nice to use. Um the
appearance was great. So
[25:21] I went out there and looked great
to them all once.

repairs and curb boxes, Fort Crook pipe
[26:16] repairs and ditch work.
We located the water service on Rainbow
[26:23] Drive, which might not seem like a big
deal, but it was a big deal because
[26:26] nobody knew where it was at.
>> You get bowls all over the yard, huh?
