CITY ADMINISTRATOR City Administrator Greg Mills reported to the Board that a copy of the Private Function Rental Policy was provided for them to review and that there was a concern with liability issues when this policy was written. After discussing the inflatables with our City Attorney Campo and Ms. Littrell checking with our insurance company, MoPerm, no one feels that the inflatables actually cause the city any liability issues. Staff would like to further investigate this issue and then bring information back to the board for a possible policy revision. If there is a concern with meeting the timeline of the Kellogg event on September 27'", perhaps we could draft legislation to allow an exemption for that event. General 3 consensus of the Board is to move forward with the review of the inflatable issue. Mills also reported on the success of the stroke detection screening provided by the City. He also reminded everyone of the workshop this Saturday, September 6'h, focusing on economic incentives for development. We have also changed the Sept. 16th meeting to Sept. 18`h because of board members and staff attending the MML Annual Conference. ADMINISTRATION Nothing to report. COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT Community Development Director Mike Duffy reported on the tax sale that was held in Platte County on August 25`h. The City purchased two properties that totaled $355.00, which was the amount of taxes owed. We now have a required year to wait and we may request a collector's deed on the properties at that time. ENGINEERING Nothing to report. FINANCE Finance Director Donna Resz gave a PowerPoint presentation on gaming and the deviation from the forecasted numbers. Options and suggestions from staff were shared with the Board, such as; long term solutions, reduction of expenditures, increasing revenues, or possibly making a policy for a reserve fund from a one-time revenue such as land sale. Mayor Rose gave an update on a meeting with Argosy and their commitment to marketing to improve profits. City Administrator Greg Mills stated not to start 50`h Street this fall. There is a concern that the bridge work will cause a decrease. Consensus of the Board was to stall on 50`h Street until springtime and Donna is to keep the board apprised of gaming revenues. PUBLIC SAFETY Nothing to report. PUBLIC WORKS Nothing to report. LEVEE BOARD Nothing to report. MAYOR'S DISCUSSION Mayor Rose asked City Engineer Travis Hoover to explain the curb repairs on Gateway Ave. Hoover passed out a picture of the curb prior to replacement and the issues causing the need for the project. He explained that approximately 2,000 feet on the east side and only about 100 feet on the west side of Gateway Ave., then about 2,000 feet of other curb throughout the city was in need of replacement. Public Works Director Tom Wooddell substantiated Hoover's remarks, including that the curb would only get worse if not repaired properly. Mayor Rose talked with Charlie Broomfield about de-annexation of an area near Northmoor. Following a brief discussion, Mayor Rose will ask Mr. Broomfield to bring this issue to the Board and 4 discuss at the next Board of Alderman meeting. She attended the legislative forum with the City of Parkville Chamber. It was very well attended by people in legislature but low in public attendance. They will try to have a joint effort with Riverside Chamber and Platte City Chamber for higher attendance, when this opportunity comes again. BOARD OF ALDERMEN Alderman Homer— Nothing to report.
