MAYOR'S DISCUSSION We continue to get great comments from outsiders and residents regarding our streets during the snows. Everyone loves the job that your department does, even the Houston Lake Mayor made a special point to call and thank you and your guys for what you accomplished. There was a bit of a pushback on the issue with the sidewalks being cleared, but we are a small town with a small department that does a great job. We are very proud of what your department has accomplished. Mike Duffy and I attended the Northland Days with the NRCC in Jefferson City on Monday, March 4 h . There was a nice turnout and a lot of good messages that were well received. The Mayor's Prayer Breakfast is in the morning at the KC Convention Center. BOARD OF ALDERMEN Alderman DeRose — A negative comment to the Public Works Department from my wife (a school teacher) is that she would like them to slow down and not clean the streets so quickly and well. Seriously though, a friend drove three hours to get home the first day of the snow storm and the second day she detoured through the Riverside streets and cut her drive in half, which speaks volumes about our Public Works Department. Alderman Cope — I second all the comments as well for the Public Works Department. Alderman Fuller — That was a great job by Public Works Alderman Super — Nothing to report. Alderman Thatcher — I echo the same comments. Alderman Homer — I also echo the same comments Mayor Rose commented that our City Attorney Nancy Thompson will be leaving us in a couple weeks to go to Columbia, Missouri to be the City Attorney. We have appreciated all your time and efforts for the City of Riverside and wanted to thank you for what you have done for us.
