FROM: Nancy Thompson, City Attorney
RE: Levee District Annual Meeting
BACKGROUND: The Riverside-Quindaro Bend Levee District of Platte County, Missouri ("Levee
District") is operated by a five member Board of Supervisors who serve five-year
staggered terms (meaning one Supervisor is elected each year to serve a five-
year term). In accordance with Chapter 245 of the Revised Statutes of Missouri,
the Board of Supervisors of the Levee District is required to call a meeting of
the owners of land within the boundaries of the District during the month of
October for the purpose of electing a Supervisor to replace the Supervisor
whose term is expiring that year.
As a landowner, the City has a right to vote at the annual meeting; however, it is
necessary to designate an official representative to exercise the City's voting
rights. Consistent with past practice, a Resolution is on the Board of Aldermen
agenda to designate Interim City Administrator Greg Mills to serve as the City's
voting proxy. In the event the Board desires to designate someone else to be
the City's representative, the Resolution should be amended to designate a
different individual.
In addition to the authority to vote on behalf of the City, it is necessary for the
City to provide direction to the Industrial Development Authority (IDA) for
designation of a proxy. The next meeting of the IDA will be held on Monday,
September 24`� and proxy selection will be communicated to the IDA at that
time. The attached Resolution provides direction to the IDA for purposes of
designating a proxy for exercise of iu landowner rights at the Levee District
annual meeting.

questions regarding this matter.
