for approval. Mayor Rose, Community Development Director
Mike Duffy and I had a meeting with Missouri American Water last
week. It was a very productive meeting and discussing many of
our billing issues. We now have a direct contact to work with to
coordinate education and to contact regarding issues for our
residents. They have even offered to host a workshop in the fall
with the city and our residents to help educate them on how to
check for leaks, etc. We hope to work with our sewer service next
by first getting a main contact and schedule a joint meeting as we
did with the water service.

event that was hosted at city hall. There was a small turnout, but
we feel there was a huge success rate.
ENGINEERING City Engineer Travis Hoover explained that KCMO has come back
to us and have proposed a joint project with Gladstone to build a
trail that will connect the Interurban Bridge Trail and go east into
Gladstone. This would be a partnership among the three entities,
from Interurban Bridge to Belleview. The initial grant process will
move forward soon, but funding will not come to us until 2017-
2018. Consensus of the Board was to continue conversations and
keep this project rolling.

have risen enough that our transfer was $1.2 million less than it
would have been without those additional revenues. For the
eighth year in a row, we have received the C.A.F.R. for the
Comprehensive Annual Financial Report by the GFOA. Resz
introduced Kelsi Spurgeon with Columbia Capital, to present a
