CITY ADMINISTRATOR City Administrator Brian Koral reminded the Board that our first
meeting in April will be held on Monday, April 31 since the election
is on the 4th. On that Monday, prior to the meeting we will take a
tour of the new Public Safety Facility. We would like to also have
an open house of the new facility on April 8th following the Easter
Egg Hunt at Renner Brenner Park. Tuesday, March 21st the Mid
Continent Public Library will have a board meeting to consider the
bid they received for the Riverside Project, so Mayor Rose and I
will be attending that meeting at 6 p.m., prior to the next regular
BOA meeting here. Koral then discussed No Parking concerns in
the Indian Hills Neighborhood, showing PowerPoint slides of
specific locations and asking for policy direction from the Board of
Aldermen. For safety concerns, the Board agreed to place No
Parking signage at the specified areas of the intersections noted
in the presentation. Once the signs are ordered and received,
they will be installed and notice to the neighborhood through
social media posting follow.
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT Community Development Director Mike Duffy gave an update on
the Comprehensive Plan and progress. 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.

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.
BOARD OF ALDERMEN Alderman Milner — Shared information from the educational world,
being a proud member from the Park Hill School District, we
received this recently from our Assistant Superintendent,
announcing the Park Hill School District being named the Quality
Texas Foundation Regional Program Highest Level of Quality

state of Missouri to receive the award and the first K-12 Public

Malcom Bridges' Criteria for performance excellence. This is
exciting to have a district in our neighborhood receive this high -
quality award.
Alderman Cockrell — Nothing to report.
Alderman Beck — I want to thank the Mayor for coming to our
Gatewoods Annual HOA meeting. She gave all in attendance an
update on the City progress, which was a lot to talk about.
Everyone was so happy to hear the exciting things happening. I

and the correspondence that helped our HOA President. There
was a stormwater issue with it all going on. We appreciate the
City's help with managing this concern.
