Mike Shelton Mike presented two proposals to the board, first the capital improvement
Emergency Mgmt. budget involves sirens (outdoor warning system) in the city. The first sirens
Coordinator's were in the `50's and provided warning in case of a nucleaz attack on the U.S.
presentation The federal government provided funding at that time. There were
2 sounds to the system, one was a `whaling' noise to warn there was an
attack on the United States and intended for people that were outdoors. Once
the threat was over and an "all clear" a study tone was heard.
Following the cold war, communities in the Midwest wanted to put the sirens
to use for storms, tornados and other emergencies including notification to
firefighters to a fire call.
In 2002 Riverside upgraded its system and purchased 2 outdoor warning sirens
that aze effective for aone-mile radius. The 2 sirens provide coverage for about
90 percent of the city. One was placed at the old city hall and the other at
Vandepopulier, Horizons Parkway azea.
The terrain in the city has a major impact on the sirens and weather as on days
when there is high humidity, the sound is absorbed by the atmosphere. The
bluff line along 9 Highway, the High Drive area and portions of Indian Hills
won't allow the sound to penetrate through the terrain. thus not allowing good
coverage to the citizens.
The proposal is to move the siren at the old city hall building to a 50' pole in the
perimeter of the water tower which is the second highest elevation in the city. It
will be able to give a fu11360 degree directional effect on the siren and get a full
130 decibel range effect.
The Platte County Sheriff s Department Emergency Services Bureau
approached Mike and wishes to place some sirens in the unincorporated areas
that aze not protected fully by sirens and suggested that the city consider a
parlaership on the project. Riverside would have control of the activation of the
siren. Captain Mazk Owen's goal is to place a smaller siren in Misty Woods,
Ridgewood Estates and the Pazkdale area.
An outdoor siren costs $19,000 to install plus all other electronic equipment.
If we entered into a partnership with Platte County, it would provide protection
to the western side of the city and part of the county. This would be a cost
benefit for the city of $8,000 to$10,000. The operational and maintenance
costs would be shared even though they are very well maintained and very
low maintenance cost.
The siren at the old city hall would be moved to 52°d Street and Green Hills
Road. The Pazkville siren does not provide adequate protection for Misty
Woods because of the terrain, `the bluff line'. This would also provide pro-
tection for Houston Lake. Mike is asking for $16, 000 to cover the cost of the
project. The siren located at Horizons Pky. will stay where it is, but may be
Mins. 1/15/08 moved slightly during construction.
Also he is asking to purchase another siren in the future to be placed somewhere
in the Indian Hills area and because of the development anticipated in the
surrounding area.
Mayor Rose said she was all for a partnership for the greater good of everybody.
The second request is for a budget item previously approved for a universal
communications system for information access services to provide citizens of a
crisis or emergency situation. The system would be available to notify every
citizen and business in Platte County. To receive information, citizens must sign
up. Citizens can be notified by telephone fax, a-mail and other electronic
devices. The cost is $60,000 for a three year contract, $10,400 for maintenance
and additional minutes/blocks. There would be an expenditure to AT&T for the
911 databases to be installed into the system and this database would be used
only for "Emergencies". The other database is voluntary on the community's
part. Citizens can also be notified through the 911 system even though they
don't sign up for this.
City Administrator The Tourism Enhancement Program information was distributed for reviewing
comment and David is proposing to follow the outline as it is and bring this back at
the next meeting for approval.
Documentation Imaging Meredith said RFP's were sent out to 5 different companies. Four companies
Presentation responded; Image Now, R&D, MCCI and Power Flow. Comparisons were done
on all four of the companies, experience, technical requirements, our needs,
security, easy to use, company's location and costs to develop such a program.
Our IT person has reviewed the system proposed and a new server will have to
be purchased costing $2,000-$3,000 and 2 additional scanners that cost about
$3,000 each. R&D Systems out of Shawnee, Kansas is being recommended as
they have extensive local government experience and are close to us. The
system is going to cost about $22,000 and $4,000 for maintenance and some
additional costs. Forty thousand dollars is budgeted for this item. Mayor Rose
polled the boazd and everyone unanimously agreed to move forwazd to enter
into a contract with RBcD Systems. An Ordinance and contract will be brought
to the next meeting for the board's consideration to approve.

The proposed settlement agreement for tonight's consideration is with Bucher,

a letter to them almost a year ago as there was a conflict with the storm and
sanitary sewer and other issues. They were asked to reimburse the City for the
costs on the change orders the city paid out to Bucher, Willis & Ratliff. The City
didn't recover all the change orders paid out to Bucher, Willis, but a fair amount
was agreed upon.
It is budgeted to make improvements about 100' back from the Gateway
intersection with tight strength asphalt because of heavy vehicle travel. Also, it
has been budgeted for observation when construction starts off of Riverside
Street and Riverside Street will be reconstructed as part of the project. It will be
relocated a little to the south to line up with West Platte connection so there is a
regular intersection rather than one that is offset.
