Said meeting was called to order by Mayor Pro Tem Peeler. The minutes of January 12, 1988, were read and approved. Tom Siegle, 600 N. Dairy Ashford Road, Houston, Texas 77252, representing Conoco, presented an application for a grading permit south of Riverpark (Highway 9) west of Scherer Truck Company. He said this was for the road and for a parking area for Scherer Truck. He said that they have already talked to the Missouri State Highway People and the BN People and all have agreed to grant the crossing, however, they will not receive the formal approval on paper for several weeks. The Board said that it would need some type of information from BN and the State Highway people showing they have approved this crossing for Conoco and City Attorney Don Witt is to be contacted in this regard. The grading permit was approved, subject to its approval by the City Engineer and the matter of receiving documents from the State and BN concerning their approval of Conoco's crossing. In the discussion of the grading and fill permit, it was brought out that Scherer's parking area will have to be of a hard surface unless it can secure an approval of non dust free surface from the Board of Zoning Adjustment. Mr. Siegle also presented plans for eight columns and a canopy in the same area and requested approval of same so that the footing could be poured at the end of this week. This matter was discussed and it was brought out that the matter should be discussed with City Attorney Don Witt concerning the Flood Area, the two crossings (highway and railroad). It was felt that Mr. Siegle should present a separate application for the eight columns and canopy, rather than combining it with the other buildings proposed to be built at the location. The City Engineer will have to approve the drawings. Mr. Siegle will also have to have the plans stamped by a Missouri Engineer or Architect. There also should be a letter from Conoco's engineer stating they understand that this is in the flood area and they are building it in accordance with all Federal and State regulations. Mr. Siegle is to be notified the latter part of the week as to whether or not they may start on the footings. Keven Snodgrass, 5109 Red Barn Lane, St. Joseph, Missouri 64503, .presented an Application for Business License for Flooring Specialists by j NCS at 2707 N. W. Vivion Road. This is for Epoxy (resurfacing concrete - ,` Minutes of Reg. Meeting Page 2, Jan. 19, 1988 Commercial and residential). This is used solely as an office and nothing will be stored at this location. Mr. Snodgrass said that there would be only two vehicles at the location and they would be parked in the back of the building. This was approved subject to providing the City with a Tax number and payment of the fee. Pat Edmonds of Green Terrace Trailer Park was present and inquired with regard to the notice he received to clean up the Trailer Park within ten days. He said he needed more time to complete this work. It was agreeable with Chief Fred McDaniel and the Board that he have more time. Richard Wilson, Route #1, Box 204, Weston, MO 64098, made a inquiry concerning the notice he received to remove the three old trucks which were located behind the Greystone Apartments. He said that he thought that the way he interpreted the Ordinance these three old trucks should be considered antiques since they were over 25 years old. The subject of his building a privacy fence was brought up. Mayor Pro Tem Peeler and the Board decided to table the matter until City Attorney Don Witt could give us his interpretation of the Ordinance. ~- Chuck Jeffers, 4918 N. Spruce, Kansas City, MO 64119, spoke to Mayor Pro Tem Peeler and the Board concerning Tu-Binh-52 Rescue which represents freeing the American Prisoners of War in Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos or other known prisoners. He said they have been contacting the cities asking them to adopt a resolution stating that the POW's MIA's flag will be flown below the American Flag. If the Cities are not financially able to purchase the flag, they will furnish one for the City. The cost of the flag is approximately $35.00. Mr. Jeffers also passed out literature concerning the Tu-Binh-52 Rescue. Mayor Pro Tem Peeler and the Board said they would table the matter until the February 2, 1988 meeting and this would enable them to look over the literature. Clark Thompson of Larkin & Associates was present to discuss with Mayor Pro Tem and the Board the updating of the 1975 sewer plans. Mr. Thompson said that the bid figure of $2500.00 would basically entitle them to go through the preliminary sewers, look how they were laid out and up date the cost and put together a report that could be used in applying for grants. Mayor Pro Tem Peeler asked if Mr. Thompson thought there was any grant money for our sewers and he said that he thought that the best possible grant would be from the State. He said there is money available from the State and for our type of sewers; that the maximum would be $55,000.00 or 558 of the cost up to that amount; he said that should they turn down the application, you can again apply. For the $5 , 000 to $8 , 000 he said he would be available to come to a 1 couple of meetings and would furnish more detail evaluation of the sewers r, - _ T - Minutes of Reg. Meeting Page 3, Jan. 19, 1988 and other technologies concerning what would be better in certain areas such as gravity or pressure and funding is available for both types of systems. Mr. Vaughn is present at this time and he along with Mr. Thompson felt that Kansas City, Missouri would be willing to let us hook into the main lines and treatment systems which are already in the City for the reason that we cooperated with their installation of the system at the beginning. Mayor Pro Tem Peeler said that he would like to see the route of the Dump Truck when it is used to plow snow and salt the streets and also the route of the tractor when mowing the right of ways. City Clerk Betty Burch will provide this information. Mayor Pro Tem Peeler passed a form for people who make purchases for the City to complete if the purchase exceeds $100.00 or more. This matter was discussed. It was felt that this type of form should be used as better records of purchases could be had along with payment of the invoices when received. It was decided that the Board wanted to study the form longer and would vote on whether or not this form should be used. A discussion was had concerning building applications and the drawings presented were being sent to the City Engineer before the Board was able to look them over and felt that this should be stopped. Burch brought up the matter that the Zoning Ordinance should possibly be revised. Best said he would like to see the City consider employing an administrator to inspect the buildings and perhaps other work in the City.
