MAYOR'S DISCUSSION Mayor Rose reported that a response was received from the
Kansas City Art Institute and we are ready take the next step
finding what programs might be available to the residents of
Riverside. Last Wednesday I met with the Platte County
Commission regarding the renewal of the 3 /8 cent road tax. The
language had to be to the Platte County Election Board today to
be on the ballot for the April Election. There will be two questions:
1. Should we renew the 3/8 cent sales tax for roads? 2. Should
the County Bond a specific amount of money? They are thinking
about 20 to 25 million for this ballot. These questions, if passed,
will mean about $1 million in funding for Riverside. Every Mayor
in the Platte County is very interested in this issue. We need to
educate our citizens on these issues.
BOARD OF ALDERMEN Alderman Thatcher —Asked the Mayor if the Commissioners gave
any information regarding how they plan to fund the radio
mandate? The Mayor explained that they are looking at putting an
extra 1/8 cent tax on in August or possibly raising the mill levee on
property. They will decide that as a totally separate issue. Our
Board needs to come to a consensus regarding our stance on this
issue as well. Alderman Thatcher also asked if there had been
any information on the trail issue and the County's involvement.
Community Development Director Duffy explained that the trail is
still closed but we are looking at some options and will try to circle
back with some conversations on the trail to get it opened back up
as soon as possible.
