There will be an evening meeting on March 20th, plan to be present at the Easter Egg Hunt on April 8th, and May is National Bike Month so we hope to pick a day to do a community bike ride event with stops and information to share. There will also be some online surveys and information on the website and on social media. We hope to join this in with some of our Reaching Riverside projects as well. ENGINEERING Capital Projects/Parks Manager Noel Bennion shared that we received notice that we have been awarded the Platte County Parks & Rec Outreach Grant for $24,000 to help with Improvements to Homestead Park. E, FINANCE Nothing to report. FIRE Nothing to report. POLICE Nothing to report. PUBLIC WORKS Nothing to report. LEVEE BOARD Nothing to report. MAYOR'S DISCUSSION Mayor Kathy Rose stated that she was at EH Young Park Sunday and the time and funds put into that improvement project was "priceless". There was such a variety of different activities going on down there, every shelter house was full, pickleball was going constantly, trails were being used, and it was just wonderful to see it all being enjoyed by so many people. Projects like that are difficult to commit to but in the long run it was such a great investment. Noel, I want to thank you for all you did, and I am ready for the next phase. We have one more hurdle with Mid Continent Library on March 21 st, to ask them to move forward with our project. It excites our residents when they hear about the new library. I also want to thank this Board for allowing the NRCC to use this space for all their meetings, since they have been without office space for several months. Most of the meetings begin early at 7:30 a.m. and they have been so appreciative of our staff for their diligence in helping get the room set for each meeting and making each one run smoothly. Youth and Adult Leadership Classes will each be here one day next week as well.
