July 17, 2007
A regulaz meeting of the Boazd of Aldermen of the City of Riverside, Missouri, was held in the
City Hall, of Riverside, Missouri, on July 17, 2007 at 7:00 p.m.
Those in attendance were Mayor Kathy Rose, Aldermen Fuller, Bruns, Datata, Hurt, Salyer and

Also present were David Blackburn, City Administrator, Louise Rusick, City Clerk, Chief
Gregory Mills, Brent Miles, Director of Planning & Economic Development, Jeff Rupp, Public Works

Visitors Comments Zeke Young, Ozark, Mo. spoke to the board about the increase in the fireworks
license fee, insurance and the sign permit increased fee. Mr. Young mentioned
the traffic being under control and appropriate signs put in place. Mr. Young
mentioned that last year the City passed the Ordinance not to allow the sale
of bottle rockets and noticed a loss of sales this year to his fireworks stand
and a loss of revenue to the City. Mr. Young said what bothered him the most
was what people were saying, people coming from Kansas asking "Where's the
bottle rockets?" Then they wanted to losow where they could get them and they
were told they could go to Parkville. He mentioned the people saying they come
to the City to buy gas and eat at the restaurants when they buy fireworks (bottle
rockets) and now they have no reason to return to Riverside. He feels Pazkville
now has something that Riverside started and Prkville can capitalize on it. He
mentioned the concern about gambling going in at the Woodlands at Kansas
City, Kansas. Mr. Young would like the boazd to consider reinstituting the
sale of bottle rockets.
Ray Uhl, 4524 NW Apache would like to see aerial fireworks banned. Mr.
Uhl said the Ordinance is not enforced in his neighborhood. They are shot
in the street and in front of his house and doesn't like the aerial fireworks
landing in his yazd. He's asking for two things, (1) to enforce the
ordinance (2) ban discharging aerial fireworks in the City.
Hazold Snoderley, 4522 NW Apache brought in fireworks that were shot and
landed in his yazd. He would like to see the Ordinance enforced and would
like to know who "picks and chooses" to add or amend the fireworks
Ordinances.

Minn. 7/17/07
Mayor Rose said a timeline for the residents involved needs to be provided.
Alderman Hurt said resident, Rick Hedgecock asked how the project was going
to start. Mike Duffy said material will be removed first, but this is what the
project coordination meeting is about, deciding what to and when. There is a 90
day window, assuming the start date is August 1". Alderman Hurt said he is
willing to do "leg work" to help.
Mike Duffy said shop drawings have been received from the contractor and they
are being reviewed and ready to proceed soon.
The final portion completed on Vivion Road will be monitored and Mike
said he would be reporting back to the board on the Vivion Road Intersection

Sabin Yanez with Cook, Flatt & Strobel said excavation for the concrete box
culvert has been completed at the Horizons South Parkway project. Radmacher

been accomplished and 10% of the work has been completed.
The Northwood Road work has been done, the sanitary sewer road crossing has
been completed on the west side and 300' of storm sewer laid, 7 inlets installed
and 10% of this work is done. Things seem to be proceeding well.
Aldemum Hurt asked where the project is going to stop. Brent said it will look
odd, there will be 1,800 feet of the project and then the road tapers back onto
the old road and it goes quite a bit south of the first house and stops after that.
Brent said he will double check where the project will stop as they get into this
project, there will be some right-of--ways needed. Alderman Hurt asked if we
could talk to the road district and place some asphalt in a particularly bad area
on Northwood. Brent said the City continually works with the County on
this.
YMCA Discussion Gary Linn with the YMCA of Greater Kansas City. The YMCA and City staff
got together and discussed their collaboration and as to the needs of
Riverside. They discussed what they could take out of the YMCA and bring
to Riverside's Community Center. One of the needs was a youth program for 5-
15 year olds. The YMCA has a youth sports program with over 16,000
kids across the area. Gary mentioned they could take the youth basketball
program and have practices in the City. A member s fee is $65.00
and non-member $85.00 and there is financial assistance available.
They would like to hold a lday free clinic for kids from ages 5-15 and pictures
taken that day.
Also talked about were a 1 night, 3 hour evening program youth and family
event for ages 5-12. This provides organized activity for children and parents
and is run by YMCA employees and volunteers. There will some sort of
fee for this.
Future opportunities discussed were group exercises opened up to the YMCA
members and the Community Center and swim lessons 16 months-15 years old
at the City's pool for 2008. Members will have a discounted rate.
Mayor Rose asked what if the kids can't afford to pay. Gary said fmancial aid
is available.
Mins. 7/17/07
Brent looked at the Pazks and Recreation program Lori Razdeen said they
could partner with the YMCA and wouldn't cost the City additional staff
and rentals would still continue. The YMCA would be willing to schedule
another location if there is a conflict at the Community Center. There is money
in the City's account to use for scholarships for kids. This would include girl's
basketball.
The YMCA would like to get the program started in September. Brent said
the City would enter into a use agreement with the YMCA. The programs
started would be a basketball league, family night out and basketball clinic.
City staff will still be at the Community Center to lock up, but the YMCA will
be running the programs.
Brent said the overall dates aze set, but if the City wishes to have a function
there is still that option. This would include the Northland area. At certain
times of the yeaz basketball percent usage can be high as 80 per cent and other
times 50/50.
Mayor Rose said the apartment managers need to get the message regarding
the programs and Chief Mills said they were enthused about the proposed
programs.
Brent asked the Board if they wanted him to take the matter of the pool
improvements, "waters edge and spray pazk" to the park board first. Mayor
Rose said she would prefer the park board did the "leg work" and then bring the
results to the board of aldermen for discussion. Brent said proposals are now
being worked on.

Aldermen & Mayor Alderman Salyer said he noticed the sign on Gateway coming into the City
Comments saying "Storm Ready Community". Chief Mills said the sign was just put there
recently. Alderman Salyer asked if any progress had been made regarding
placing cameras in the parks. Chief Mills said bids are being obtained. The
Renner Brenner Park will be an easy one to "Wi Fi", but the E.H. Young Park
will be a problem for the distance pushing video. Chief Mills said fiber optic
cable is very expensive. Alderman Salyer suggested expanding on the camera
coverage with the trails and such.
Mayor Rose said there were 2 of the Riverside firemen in Gatewoods
subdivision block party Saturday evening when a storm moved in. The
firemen were there to wam the people and everyone had about 25 minutes to
disburse and Mayor Rose said the warning was greatly appreciated.
Alderman Salyer said he spoke with the residents at the block party
and there was great interaction with the residents, Mayor Rose and Public
Safety. Alderman Salyer thanked Harold Snoderley and Ray Uhl for appearing
at the meeting this evening. After talking with residents at the block party, there
is a desire to continue fireworks, but there are some people in his area that
had debris land on their roof and yards and people had to get up and go to work
the next day. He believes we need some "common ground" on the matter.
Alderman Hurt asked if we had a vendor chosen to mow tall grass in the City.
Brent said the matter was tabled but the matter will be corning up again at the
next meeting.
Aldermen Hurt said the Levee Board approved the final draft of the maintenance
manual and passed on to the Corps of Engineers.
Alderman Super asked what the status is for the West Platte Bridge.
Brent said they had 24 comments to answer to the COE and staff answered 22
and resubmitted them to the COE. Brent said there is another City project
ahead of the W. Platte Bridge project which is the force main for Horizons
because of the timing of the project.
Alderman Fuller asked about the study on the water pressure issue in the City.
Brent said "HDR" has been hired by Mo. American Water Company and any
information will be related to Sabin Yanez, Cook, Flatt & Strobel.
Alderman Fuller asked if we could ban fireworks in Riverside. Chief Mills said
it is "unenforceable" for the most part. There isn't enough law enforcement
in the City nor Platte County to perform this task.
Alderman Bruns suggested "visuals" that have happened in the last 30 days be
put on the City website to inform the citizens.
Alderman Darata noticed the fireworks statistics, i.e. an increase in calls.
Chief Mills is guessing the increase in calls is because of the topic discussed
a lot lately. Alderman Darata said the issue is "respect" of the residents for each
other.
Minn. 7/17/07
Alderman Darata asked about the possibility of "gated pazks". Chief Mills
said he hasn't had a chance to investigate this matter, but part of the construction
going on at the High School will include "gating".
