Park that will include the Park Board meeting. An Upstream Story
received by email was received from the Northland Regional
Chamber of Commerce thanking staff and the City for allowing
them the use of the chamber and meeting rooms, opening up

NRCC was without space to hold all their monthly meetings. We
have accomplished a lot during tonight's meeting, and we look
forward to the coming fiscal year.

meeting. There have been more responses to the survey online as
well.
ENGINEERING Nothing to report.
FINANCE
FIRE
POLICE
PUBLIC WORKS
Finance Director Erika Benitez reviewed by PowerPoint
presentation for the May 2023 financial status with 91.7% of the
year passed. She reviewed many of the numbers and everything
is tracking as expected. Expenses were also reviewed, and
investments remain strong. Questions from the Board were
answered, and they thanked Erika for her work on these reports
and the budget.
Fire Chief Gordon Fowlston reported that most of the numbers are
much like last month, but their training and inspection hours have
increased. Response times remain the same and that is a good
thing.
Police Chief Chris Skinrood explained that everything is pretty
much status quo. Truck traffic in Horizons has seen an up -tick and
we are working on reducing that issue. There are generally
increases in 911 calls when the weather begins to warm up and/or
the holidays.
Public Works Director Tom Wooddell reminded the Board that
trash and recycle services will be delayed one day this week due
to the holiday on Monday. Mayor Rose then stated that because
of the Juneteenth Holiday and Father's Day both over the
weekend and Monday, E.H. Young Park was an absolute mess.
Trash was everywhere and it was disgusting how people treated
the park and of course, the bathrooms were out of soap, and
everything. The Pickleball Courts were loaded. The book "Free
Library" needs some maintenance love, hinges are loose and
screws coming out. The birds continue to be a problem on the
Story Walk monument/signs, they are a mess. And did you see
the ground where the cottonwood tree came down? It looked like
you were in the mountains and like snow on the ground. Of
course, the ants are a big problem down there, a mess, they are
everywhere down there in the cracks of the sidewalks, you need
to look at that too. It is a lot of work down there, they do a great
job, but there are a lot of people there and it is being utilized. and
it has just created many problems. If the two large shelter floors
could be sprayed out, that would be helpful because they are a
sticky mess. Director Wooddell responded that the issues were
noted.

LEVEE BOARD Nothing to report.
MAYOR'S DISCUSSION
Mayor Kathy Rose asked City Administrator Koral where staff was
on the IRIS issue? He responded that there is a meeting
scheduled with the KCATA to work on an agreement. We hope to
have an agreement for the Board to consider at the next meeting.
The Riverside Chamber had their monthly Mixology at Red X last
week and it was absolutely wonderful. Red X had great snacks
and it was a great event. Today was the NRCC monthly luncheon
and it was Brad Patterson from the KC Zoo, and he discussed that
the aquarium will be opening in September. The zoo is a great
thing to have in the city and they have accomplished so much
there, at the Kansas City Zoo. Mark your calendars for the July
12th meeting here at City Hall to discuss the World Cup.
BOARD OF ALDERMEN Alderman Draut — Hope all the fathers out there had a good
Father's Day and that everyone has a great summer.
