ENGINEERING Capital Projects/Parks Manager Noel Challis Bennion gave a
brief update on the pool project schedule options. The Land Water
Conservation Fund Grant has cleared the first phase and is in
second stage of review, which is promising but not guaranteed of
award to us. The bidding cannot be let until the grant is awarded,
causing timing concerns. Noel presented two options with time
and detail shared by PowerPoint. The Board prefers Option 1
although there is a tight timeframe. We will prepare for this option
knowing that it is all reliant on the grant award. She also reviewed
the proposed budget and the final concept.
Also, the City has been awarded $40,000 for the Storm Water
Grant to do the work on Phase III in Indian Hills.

Clark will be retiring on June 30, 2022, those will be big shoes to

LEVEE BOARD Meeting on Thursday, June 23rd
MAYOR'S DISCUSSION Mayor Kathy Rose informed everyone that the Parade of Hearts
Carnivale last week was amazing. Brian and I tried to get two
hearts, and ended up with the River View heart for $6,400, but lost
the second one (the monarch heart) by $100 in the last forty
seconds. Thank you to Dawn and Jill attending with Brian and
me, it was a lot of fun and we got to meet so many wonderful
people. We went to the NRCC luncheon today for their rebrand. It
was interesting, it looks great and was created by a man from
Riverside, living in Indian Hills. The Reaching Riverside Event was
so heartfelt and wonderful, I can't wait for the next one. We are
making a difference.
BOARD OF ALDERMEN Alderman Cockrell — Nothing to report.
Alderman Milner— I was really encouraged with the committee
and our Reaching Riverside group along with the plans to make
the next one even better. It was great fun being a part of the
ribbon cutting this afternoon for the KC Current facility today and

exciting things going on in Riverside.
Alderman Cretsinger— Thank you to all the elected officials, staff,
and residents that are participating in the Reaching Riverside
