Panutes of T~eetirr of September 15, 1959 ~:dere read and accepted as read. 'i'r~:asurerts report for month of f?u~;ust was read and ~?ccepted ~s read. A group of people presented a petition of complaint with 60 signatures as follows which is made part of these minutes: u~ie~:the'^andersigned, petition our complaint to the City Council of Riverside, Mo. that Floyd Moore of Route 4, Perkville, in Northwood Acres in the city of Riverside is creating a public nuisance by having unsanitary conditions existing, causing offensive odors and dangerous health hazards, and depreciating the value of neighboring property, and in direct violation of Ordinances No. 154, No. 84 and No. 291." Aforesaid three ordinances were i:hen read. One of the group stated all the conditions existing in the above area and called on Mr. Charles, the County Health Sanitarian to see what could be done and explain the situation. Mr. Charles stated he did not give Mr. Moore notice when he was up there several months ago, but he saw that Mr. Moore had .possibly one sow and he thought about six or eight pigs at that time and he had made application for remodeling a couple of buildings in the back of his premises. Mr: Charles went back to examine the place to see if the ground was suitable to put in septic tank or other type of system. It was s~.table and he told Mr. Moore so, but told Mr. Moore before covering the system up he would like to come out and examine same. Mr. Charles explained that the size of septic tank or system depended upon the number of bedrooms in the house. He also told Mr. Moore t~o~^1~~rY~~m3.knairow&dn he was ready to install it and he would tell him where to put it and most suitable size. At that time Mr. Charles stated he told the Mayor of the hog situation and believes the Mayor said something to Mr. Moore. He did not know to what extent or how many hogs he got rid of, but Mr. Charles was up to Moores with Asst. Chief of Police Seneker and it was so muddy and wet the could not get around, to see everything they wanted to see. They did see six head of hogs and not more than 50 feet from a residence. One pin was possibly within 20 feet of a house he is rending out. In addition to that they found garbage, trash,etc. and dust a general unsanatary condition. It was something about as bad as he has seen for quite some time. He did not realize that it was as bad as it was until they went over it that afternoon. Hr. Charles stated it was ashame to let a place exist in as nice as part of the city as that. It cutld be one of the better spots in Kansas City area. He saw no necessity for such a thing existing and if the Mayor wanted him to come down the next day to write a letter or he could write it at his office and bring it down for the Mayors signature to send Mr. Moore to see if the condition could be cleaned up, ffir. Charles was willing to do so. He stated there were children who could get in the pig pens and could get hurt and dust a generally bad condition. It should be cleaned up :,,off the people should move away. I donut think people should be required to live under such conditions or around such conditions dated Mr. Charles, and any further investigation the people would like him to make he would be glad to do it. He will go with the police to see if this condition can be correc3ted. Again he stated he didn~t feel people should be compelled to live around or in such places as that as many diseases could arise. Mrs. Brophy asked if Mr. Moore had put in the septic tank and Mr. Charles stated he did not know if he had installed it as Mr. Moore has never asked him anyth~;ig'~etbout it . The matter of some of Moore ~ s tenants were stripping cars and making a dunk yard in the back. Mr. Charles and Seneker said there were about five or six cars ,junked there and the condition was unsightly. Mr. Owens inquired of Mr. Charles his duties and how far he could go in matters of this nature. Regular Meeting of Board of Aldermen October 6, 1959 Page 2 Mr. Charles stated his duties was mostly in the county and that he did work with the au~bhorities in the inegrporated areas where they were not large enough to have their own health department. He can examine different places and give his opinion to the Mayor or police department on problems which exist or write letters to the people involved and it is up to the board or police department to see that they are not in violation of any ordinances and if they are, it is up to the law enforcement body to take action. He stated he could not go out in the county to arrest any one, but he could go to the Mayor and put down the violations in notice. He stated he knew the sanitarian preceding him was the sanitarian for Riverside, but did not know if he held that position and he was advised he did. If he did have, he said all he could do is go around, find these situations and tell them to the mayor that the problem does exist and he would write the person a letter or notice and he is requied to send two notices. If two notices are sent and the person does not take any action or attempt to correct the violation, he is arrested and he tells the fudge in court why he has not corrected the situation. Mr. Charles was asked if he could close a restaurant if it did not comply With the health regulations, and he stated he could not, he again stated he would give them notice of their violations and if they did not comply or correct the situation, he would swear out a warrant for their arrest and they would be taken to court. Mr. Charles was asked if he had known of this situation before this, and he said to a certain extent, Judge Swetnam had brought it to his attention, but as the board told the people, there is not a day which goes by that most people do not piolate an ordinance. Mr. Charles went on saying that there was a beer ,point in Platte County which was about the dirtest place he had seen, he made the people clean it up, they then lost their business and complained to him. He told them to put back the dirt, they did, the reason of his stating this was that he said he doesn~t tell individual people how to live, it is their business. If people like to live like that and no one complains about it, it is taken for granted that the people are satisfied. It was reported that Henry Owens, Mr. Birch and Al Martin had the dunk yard. Another matter reported was the children who wait for the bus at Moorets store spend all their money on the pen-ball machines and then do not have money to buy their lunches, also the people running the store talk .the little boys in buying cigarettes and they light them for them, the reason this was brought up was if there was anything the city could do to stop this. The City Attorney was to be consulted in this regard. The people at the meeting were advised a complaint had to be filed with the police and then something could be done. Mrs. Clark moved that the letter Mr. Charles offered to write be written and after Mr. Dorsey put his approval on it that it be mailed if necessary, seconded by Nelson, the roll was called and all voted in favor. Young moved that the City of Riverside have a buiding inspector and that he receive 2591; of each building permit fee for his services, if and providing that he turns in a detailed report on the building inspections and the work to be performed by the office of the marshal beconing effective as of this date, October 6, 1959, seconded by Clark, the roll was called and all voted inf~'9or.
