RIVERSIDE, MISSOURI
Tuesday, August 8, 2006
6:30 P.M.
A special meeting of the Board of Aldermen of the City of Riverside, Missouri, was held
at City Hall, in Riverside, Missouri, on August 8, 2006, at 6:35 p.m.
Mayor Kathy Rose called the meeting to order. Those in attendance were Mayor Rose

Administration Assistant, Public Safety Chief Gregory Mills, Brent Miles, Director of Planning,

The mayor thanked staff for the police escort and the flowers for her grandmother's
funeral earlier in the day.
Purchasing Cards Finance Officer Donna Resz said that she and Chief Greg Mills
Presentation by UMB reviewed 2 proposals for purchasing card providers: UMB Bank
and MOS1P. They thought that the UMB proposal was better, the
state of Missouri contract is with UMB enabling Riverside to
piggyback on their contract and attain a better rebate schedule as
a result. Several other cities in the metro area have purchasing
card agreements with UMB and Resz checked with them for
references. Both Resz and Mills shared some of the problems
they have experienced with just a couple of accounts under our
current system: Office Max and Quick Trip.
Resz introduced Pete Angus, UMB Commercial Card Account
Manager. Angus traced the history of the purchasing card
program, which was started by the federal government in the late
1970's as a means to purchase small items. Kansas adopted the
program in 1995 and Missouri in 1996. UMB's program
specializes in the public sector. Employees' purchasing cards can
and will be limited to designated merchants and limited amounts.
The primary contact will be Donna Resz and she will select
someone else to be the secondary contact in her absence.
The board of aldermen unanimously agreed for Resz, on behalf
of the city, and UMB to put together a contract.
