MINUTES OF REGULAR MEETING OF BOARD OF ALDERMEN OF
~- CITY OF RIVERSIDE, MISSOURI
SEPTEMBER 13, 1988
A regular meeting of the Board of Aldermen of the City of Riverside,
Missouri was held in the City, Hall in Riverside, Missouri on September 13,
1988, at 7:30 p.m. Those present were Kuhlman, Karr, Wedua and Shepard;
Burch and Eckard were absent. Mayor Betty Burch called meeting to order.
It was decided to dispense with the reading of the minutes of September
6, 1988 for the present time.
Gary Gable of Apollo Hair Systems, Inc. 2255 N.W. Vivion Street,
presented an application for business license. This is for hair replacement
and hair care products.
Mayor Burch said that the City Engineers had inspected the building and
listed a few things which needed to be corrected. Officer Ken Soper went
through the building and advised that everything mentioned by the City
Engineers had been corrected.
Karr absented himself from this portion of meeting.
Wedua moved that we issue a Certificate of Occupancy for Apollo Hair
Systems, Inc., seconded by Kuhlman, the roll was called and vote was as
follows: Kuhlman, Wedua and Shepard voted aye; Burch, Karr and Eckard
absent.
`'" The business license application was approved, subject to the payment
of the fee.
Mayor Burch said that the Corps of Engineer people were present to tell
us about the levee. Floyd Best, Bob Gieseke and Mitchel Burch were also
present.
Scott Vollink the spokesman for the Corps of Engineers along with Don
Hammond and Dean Schuster explained about the levee and said that if
everything goes as predicted, construction on the levee will start February
1991 on the first phase. Then the second phase would start February 1992.
This would be a 500 year flood levee. This would give the City a more
uniform building code for urban design. The property owners will be taxed
25~ of the cost of the levee and at the present time they anticipate the
cost to be $40,000,000.00. They thought there are about 20,000 acres in the
area.
Bob Gieseke said that up to now most of the funding for the study of
the levee has come from Platte County Court.
Ed Young was also present and he suggested that the Corps of Engineers
check with him concerning the flow of water on the east edge of the levee,
perhaps some money could be saved, since he had planned on running the water
from his property further east.

Scott Vollink also said that the property east of Riverside is in
Kansas City and that they do not want the levee. Concerning this, it was
thought that if someone could get with the proper people in Kansas City to
have them approve the levee continuing eastward, connecting to the other end
of the levee this would be more economical for everyone.
The matter of William and Elva Clark requesting permission for a
trailer to be parked on their property for watching same while they were
gone was discussed. City Attorney Don Witt brought out that the present
Trailer Ordinance does not provide for this. If the Clarks wanted to, they
could make application to amend the zoning ordinance to allow trailers in
the residential zone. It was the consensus of the Aldermen that this would
not be a good idea.
Ed Young spoke to the Mayor and Board concerning John and Virginia
Scott and explained what has been done so far. He asked if the Mayor and
Board could someway see it clear to have a trailer moved in for the Scotts
at the Suddarth's house, or perhaps if one could be moved in the trailer
court for them. The Mayor and Board are to discuss this problem further.
It was brought out that the bid from C. L. Sparks for $212.50 on the 6'
\ Brush Hog was a good bid and that Fred Wilkins increased his bid on the
cycle bar to $100.00.
Karr moved that we accept the bid of C. L. Sparks for $212.50 for the
~- 6'Brush Hog and the bid of Fred Wilkins for $100.00 for the cycle bar,
seconded by Kuhlman, the roll was called and votes were as follows: Kuhlman,
Karr, Wedua and Shepard voted aye; Burch and Eckard absent.
Mayor Burch reported that everything seemed to be in order concerning
the Fall Festival and said that she would like anyone who could help to be
present on Monday morning to help with the decorating of the float.
Karr moved that Wedua be allowed to go to Jefferson City for the
seminar on streets and that his expenses be paid, seconded by Shepard, the
roll was called and vote was as follows: Kuhlman, Karr, Wedua and Shepard
