CITY ADMINISTRATOR City Administrator Koral briefly explained that we are in snowplow
prep mode and the crews were sent home early to prepare for the
upcoming event. Depending on the precipitation we actually see,
staff has been prepared for remote operation as well, for those
that are able to work from home. Depending on the snowfall, city
hall might possibly be closed. Trash service will be on Saturday
this week, February 5th because of the weather and there will only
be trash pick-up and no recycling. An analysis of speeds in
Montebella was shared by the two survey methods we have
available and reviewed. You are also invited to a retirement
reception for Nancy Harper at the Community Center that will be
held on Monday, February 7th from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Koral also
shared information about an accident that occurred this morning
just outside of city hall, Animal Control Officer Shane Moore was
hit by car as he turned into the sally port entrance. The drivers of
both vehicles were not hurt but our animal control vehicle has
extensive damage.
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT Community Development Director Mike Duffy followed up on the
animal control vehicle accident, saying that Shane's vehicle is out
of commission, and he wanted to thank Chief Fowiston for
providing a vehicle that Shane can transport animals in while his is
being repaired. We appreciate the teamwork and providing that
vehicle so we can continue the services to help our community.
The Platte County Road Sales Tax information was in the weekly
memo last week, this tax is a ten-year at three-eighths of a cent,
generating $6 to $7 million a year. It will end in 2023 unless it is
back on the ballot for extension. There is a group organized to
determine the need for the tax. Riverside receives between
$100,000 and $150,000 annually from that sales tax. With our
population increase, that number could increase for us. There is
still a lot to discuss with the tax and ballot dates. There will be a
resolution brought to the Board in late February or early March
taking a position on this issue.
