City Administrator Report David Blackburn, City Administrator explained to the Board that staff has been working on rewriting the Business License Code for the City. He asked Brent Miles, Community Development Director to speak on the topic. Miles explained to the Boazd that the current Business License Code is very outdated. Of the 123 business license categories only 23 aze being used. The proposed license code reduces the categories to eight. The City issued 227 business licenses in 2007 with a 2006/2007 revenue of $31,635 and an estimated revenue for 2007/2008 of $32,000. Staff is proposing the creation of three different types of licenses. One will be for businesses located in Riverside. Another will be for home-based businesses and the final one will be for those businesses located outside of Riverside, but doing work within the city limits. Staff has also included a procedures section that is similar to the Unified Development Ordinance to better explain the business license process. A transfer fee of $25.00 has been added for when a business moves from one location in the City to another. That process takes up staff time and should be charged. A section for enforcement and penalties has also been added. The fee section has been reduced from 20 categories to three with the exception of an initial fee of $48 for massage therapy and a renewal fee of $25. Blackburn went on to elaborate on the City Administrator's Report. Public Works Director Jeff Rupp, Director of Public Works explained to the Board that the Park Board is gathering information on improvements to the pool. Hopefully their will be a consensus for the improvements at the December meeting. They have been working with representatives from Water's Edge for possible pool additions for the $35,000 budget. The Park Board is considering the addition of shade features on the pool deck and in the pool, a toddler slide and maybe replacing some of the existing chairs on the deck. Next, Rupp explained that the sanitation bids were in. It was advertised in the Kansas City Star on October 21, 2007 and packets were mailed out. The bids were opened on November 6, 2007. Only two were received, one from Deffenbaugh and the other from Allied Waste. It is a two year contract with a third year renewal option and Deffenbaugh was much less expensive. Public Safety Public Safety Chief Greg Mills introduced Officer Jeff Taylor and his new partner Flash to the Board. Taylor explained that Flash came from Michigan. They just spent four weeks in training. Flash is a dual purpose dog because he is trained in narcotics detection and tracking. Chief Mills commented that Officer Taylor and Flash are a great resource for the City. With the addition of Flash the City will be able to have a canine unit on duty every evening. Next, Chief Mills went over the procedural instructions for the automated external defibrillator protocol. He noted that Sergeant Dean Noll was present to answer any questions as he was in charge of writing the new protocol. Next, Chief Mills explained the procedural instructions for property and evidence collection. Detective Billy Aaron was present to answer questions. Chief Mills then explained that Public Safety is beginning a new program coupled with the performance evaluations. They will be asking citizens that have had contact with officers to take a survey and rate the officer's performance. Each employee will be surveyed at least eight times per year. Mayor's Discussion Mayor Rose commented on the new marketing tools that were on display. Miles explained that the City got both displays for the budgeted amount. The smaller one will be nice to have for small events. Mayor Rose then explained that she received a letter from the City of Houston Lake inquiring about a maintenance truck that the City of Riverside is up-grading and they are interested in the old truck. In the past, Riverside has given surplus equipment to other cities. The new truck is on backorder so the City will keep this request on file and consider it when the truck becomes available.
