No member would be allowed to use the Shoot Trap, except for the fact a person could come to use it to see if he wanted to join, this would only one time that he could use it without join'_ing. He said he thought that seiueral of the surrounding police departments were using the area for target practice, however Gary Hohimer did not know of it.

Harold Fine of Missouri Cities Water Company was present and advised that he was going to be at our last meeting, however he had another meeting that he attended. He advised with regard to the City being without water and that usually when a construction wants them to move their line, they are given a substantial notice however this time they had about 8 hours notice. Also he advised that this moving of the line would be absorbed by the Water Companyy that is with regard to the cost. Mr. Fine also advised they were about ready to start instal ling the fire hydrants. He also stated there was a misunderstanding about the line that was run down Northwood Road, that this was rather a rush job and didn't under- stand that they need a permit to do this. Also the matter of dumping the rock and dirt on the side of the road, Mr. Fine felt that this was an improvement in the road, rather than a hindrance. The Board did advise Mr. Fine that the way the road was dug up and the dirt piled in the road that it was a hazard and there should have been warnings with regard to these dug up areas. Reg. Meeting 9-4-73 Page 3 Mr. Fine advised he would inform the City of new lines they are putting in and also would furnish the City with drawings of the lines in the City. He also advised that he would apply for a permit whenever breaking into the City Stre_ts. Mrs. Green inquired with regard to the repairing of Northwood Road, and she was advised that this would be graveled and graded as needed. Mayor Czamanske advised that Mr. Bill Wilson got in touch with him and said that Mr. Wilson advised him he was at the Planning Commission's last meeting and that the Cormission was in the process of getting up a list of things for the builders to go by, which is required by the Planning Commission when a builder brings his plans in for a new construction. Mr. Wilson did present his plans to the Planning Commission and was advised that he did rmt have a complete set of plans and that Don Jack would take the plans Mr. Wilson ;had and would look them over and advise Mr. Wilson what would be required. Mr. Wilson said he received the list of itmms and thought they were rather strick. Mr. Wilson was present with his plans and showed them to the Board. He thought he had sufficient plans for his two buildings. Mr. Wilson advised the Board that these buildings would be used for retail and storing of paint. Robert Gieseke, Chairman of the Planning Commission was pr®sent and he advised the Board that these items on the list that Don Jack had prepared were the same items which the Planning Commission had been using for other applications for construction, it was felt by the Planning Commission that very few people came to the Planning Commission with complete plans and if a list were gotten up to give the person this would expedite matters. This matter was dmscussed further and the Board thought it would be best for Mr. Wilson to reappear before the Planning Commission with complete set of plans. Dick Grogan advised that he and Mr. Swetnam were in charge of getting something worked out on Dog Control in Riverside. He said he has looked into the matter and that he talked to Mr. Collins who lives in $iverside, Missouri, on Merrimac Street and has lived here for some 20. years. He is now retired and advised he Ho uld be interested in doing the work with regard to catching dogs. Grogan advised they looked over Parkville's Kennel and that it has four runs. Each run is approximately 3' x 12' and is sheltered. Reg. Meeting 9-4-73 Page 4 Mr. Grogan would like to comp up with a dollar figure for the cost of this type of kehriel and another problem would be the transportation of the animals. Perhaps a used station wagon would work .out. Mr. Colliers did not want to use his own car. As to the place for the Kennel, Mr. Collie said that at the end of hs road would be in order for him and that the neighbors were checked to see if the had any objection and they were negative on this. Mr. Colliers advised he was 67 years of age and retired. He would like to get into some kind of work and would be interested in this to see how it works out. Some figures discussed were $1.00 per dog picked up and $1.50 per day for feeding or keeping the dog. A recess was called and meeting reconvened.

It was noted that a letter should be written -Don Jack to find out who the City should contact in the event of problems arising on High Drive and the Taller Court lights. John West reported on the revenue sharing funds and advised that we would receive $16,500 per year. It is also necessary to send in a form in order to justify our anticipated usage of this money. $4600 of the funds was spent toward the purchase of the fire truck. This report should be sent in by September 14, 1973 and West suggested that this be shown that it will be spent for Fire Department operation, maintenance and equipment, this would be the public safety account and would be listed as being spent for capital equipment and pay for the fire truck.
