FIRE Fire Chief Gordon Fowlston reported that is was a fairly quiet
weekend in the City of Riverside and over the 41h of July.
POLICE Police Chief Chris Skinrood noted that the biggest issue over the
4th of July was related to thefts from the Fireworks tents. There
were a few calls related to after -hour noise.
PUBLIC WORKS Public Works Director Tom Woodell mentioned that trash pickup
will be delayed to Saturday, July 8, due to the 4th of July holiday.
Tom thanked the Mayor and Aldermen for the equipment
approvals for Public Works on the consent agenda this evening.
He explained that there is one more item to purchase, that being a
Christmas tree for the Welcome Plaza. He has done his due
diligence the last 3-4 weeks to find a replacement tree and there is
one vendor that sells a tree to fit that space. We budgeted
$50,000 for a tree in the 2023-2024 budget, and this one will come
in around $42,000.00. This same issue was faced back in 2009
when the last tree was purchased. Following brief discussions, the
Board gave general consensus approving Public Works Director
Wooddell to move forward with the purchase of the Christmas
tree. Tom complimented Fire Marshall Payne and the Fire
Department for keeping the parks clean and there weren't very
many fireworks in the streets after the 4th of July last night.
LEVEE BOARD Nothing to report.
MAYOR'S DISCUSSION Mayor Kathy Rose mentioned that the Governor signed the
appropriation for $23M moving the City forward with the

Rose mentioned liking the speed bumps, they have really slowed
traffic down and are making a difference. The Mid -Continent
Public Library - Legacy Luncheon will be held July 14, if anyone
wishes to attend you need to register, just let Brian know. I would
like us to have matching T-shirts for those accepting the award we
will be receiving at the MML Annual Conference in September.
