Mayor Burch announced that the purpose of this meeting is to clear up
old business which has been pending for a period of time.
Mayor Burch said that Mayor Stewart of Northmoor, Missouri came to talk
to her concerning the problem they are having with traffic on their side of
Northwest Vivion and would like to inquire whether the City of Riverside
would be willing to let Northmoor annex the south side of Northwest Vivion
from Linecreek to the East City limits of Riverside, as well as some of the
other property south of Northwest Vivion. No definite amount of property
was given. The Mayor and Board discussed this matter and it was the
consensus of the Mayor and Board that they would not be interested in having
Northmoor annex this portion of the City of Riverside.
Concerning Jim Brown's inquiry as to whether he could get a business
license for the wholesale and retail of fireworks, this matter was
discussed. Mayor Burch said that she had been approached by several people
in Ward 3 who would like to see the ban of fireworks in Ward 3 and wanted to
know if they should petition for the ban of fireworks at this time and she
said to wait to discuss it before the Board. Chief Fred McDaniel said that
should the City continue to sell fireworks, it was possible that North
Kansas City and Gladstone may wish to cancel their reciprocal agreement on
fire fighting. This matter was discussed and it appeared that the best
thing to do is to notify all the people selling fireworks that the city will
ban the retail sale of fireworks after December 31, 1989, because it was
felt most of the people who sell fireworks have already started setting up
business for July 1989. It was the consensus of the Board to ban the
shooting of fireworks in the City of Riverside, beginning in 1990. City
Attorney Don Witt is to prepare an ordinance to that effect. It was
suggested to advise the people who retail fireworks to come in and talk it
over, if they wish.
Mayor Burch announced that E. T. Archer, Engineers on the Water Tower
that it is getting near the time to close with the State and before

this is done, he recommended that the paint needed to be checked on the
