Tuesday, May 23, 2006
The Board of Aldermen of the City of Riverside, Missouri, met in regular session in the
Boardroom at City Hall, 2950 NW Vivion Road, Riverside, Missouri, on Tuesday, May 23, 2006,
at 6:30 p.m.
Mayor Rose called the meeting to order. Answering roll call were Mayor Kathy Rose and
Aldermen Ray Beard, Bernie Bruns, Pamela Darata, Ron Super, and Dave Hurt. Alderman Linda
Jones entered the meeting at 7:07 p.m.
Also present: David Blackburn, City Administrator, Brent Miles, Director of Planning and
Economic Development, John McClelland, City Attorney, Greg Mills, Chief of Public Safety,
and Jane Henry, Administration Assistant.
Ordinance 2006-71 An Ordinance approving the agreement of grading permit
stipulations by and between the City of Riverside, Missouri, and
Briarcliff Development Company.
McClelland gave an overview of the draft agreement proposed
with Gamey Company. He said BOA can approve and sign the
Ordinance endorsing the agreement now and send it to Gamey
for his approval and signature; or the BOA can send the unsigned
agreement to Gamey and sign and approve it after he sends back
the agreement with his signature.
During discussion, Alderman Beard recommended that the
property lines be marked on the site plan AKA Exhibit A. The
BOA asked Miles and McClelland to ensure that said lines are
put on the plan.
Alderman Beard moved to table the Ordinance 2006-71 until the
board's next regularly scheduled meeting. Alderman Super
seconded. The vote was:
Yes: Aldermen Super, Darata, Hurt, Beard and Bruns.
Alderman Jones was absent.
Motion carried.
Budget Workshop Session Donna Resz presented graphs and charts outlining revenues and
expenditures YTD. Resz noted that, with the exception of
gaming, revenues were rather flat. When speaking of contractual
services, Blackburn noted that professional fees accounted for
33% of the budget and suggested that, in the future, he would
like to attach attorney fees to the projects worked on, e.g.,
Horizons. Resz said the second highest expenditure in the
contractual services line, community services at 26%, had
increased due to additional contracts with MAST, Transit
Services, and others.
Alderman Super asked for an inventory of all city equipment,
land, buildings, i.e., all fixed assets. It was pointed out that
software and equipment that attach bar code labels to all
inventoried items can be purchased. Resz said it was in her plans
to conduct an inventory.
Blackburn asked that business licenses be put under the purview
of the fmancial officer. The board agreed that the City Clerk
should put together a report of the actual number of business
licenses, who has paid and who has not paid; in other words, an
overall analysis would be helpful. There was also some
discussion at that time about the low fees that the city charges,
esp. for building permits, site plan approvals, etc., and the need
to increase the amounts to offset staffing costs.
Resz also talked about the expanded program requests made by
Public Safety in the areas of college incentive and tuition
reimbursement, Livescan, a salary study, training, additional
officers, and a fire marshal position. Miles requested city
assistance ($36,000) for the dangerous buildings program.
Meeting Schedule Regular meetings will be held on June 6 and 20 and July
meetings will be held on July 11 and 18. The next budget
workshop was scheduled for June 1S` at 6:30 p.m.
Adjournment Alderman Super made a motion to adjourn and Hurt seconded.
Motion passed and the meeting was adjourned.
