wayfinding signage and we are looking at a second phase for five
more signs to be installed. This consolidates some of our signs so
there will be less clutter. There is a sign increase of approximately

6
general inflation factor. General consensus of the Board is to
move,forward with this project.
ENGINEERING Nothing to report.

update. There were no major issues, thankfully. There have been
a few heat related calls come in, so everyone needs to be
cautious.

PUBLIC WORKS Nothing to report. Mayor Rose told staff that fireworks were shot
off in the park even though they were not to shoot them on City
property. A truck rutted up an area near a shelter over the
weekend, otherwise the Pubic Works crew have the parks looking
great!
LEVEE BOARD Nothing to report.
MAYOR'S DISCUSSION Mayor Kathy Rose congratulated Steve Palma and welcomed him
to the Board. The Comprehensive Plan is coming around quickly.
We need to be preparing for this and want to be aggressive. It will
be RDG from Iowa, they will help us include everyone and it will
be about a 10-month process. The Missouri Gaming Commission
met here last week for one of their relicensing hearings, it went
very well, and I also want to thank Jason for helping get the
recording going, so they did not have to find a replacement court
recorder. Thank you to all the staff that helped get that meeting
coordinated for the Commission. The Park Hill South football team
is going to do a volunteer day that Noel is coordinating where they
will possibly build a few things for the dog park and do some trail
maintenance projects. RedX has some walls going up, it is very
exciting. I hear that they have taken their old firetruck, had it
refurbished, and it is going to be put inside the new building then
the walls will be completed around it. I am thankful for our new
employees, our new budget, and moving forward.
