MAYOR’S
REPORT
RESIDENT DON DEGENER: The mayor referred to recent publicity regarding the
only American diver to participate in the recovery of the bodies of Russian
seamen entombed in their submarine since it exploded earlier this year. The
deep sea diver is Don Degener, son of former Alderman Lillian Degener, and a
resident of Parkville since childhood. Mayor Quitmeier expressed pride in Mr.
Degener’s accomplishments and remarked on the great people who come out of
Parkville.
PLATTE COUNTY LAND USE PLAN STEERING
COMMITTEE: Mayor Quitmeier announced
that City Administrator Pat Hawver, who was not present at the meeting that
night because of a death in the family, was just appointed to this position.
FINDERS KEEPERS BUSINESS OF THE YEAR: The mayor announced that Finders Keepers was
recognized as Parkville’s Business of the Year at the Platte County Economic
Development Council’s December 1st luncheon. Jo and Dave Williams
and their children were present to accept the award.
WORK SESSION ON BUDGET: Mayor Quitmeier said this session was very productive,
and he thanked the aldermen for their efforts. He said the issue of
defibrillators for police cars came up at the budget meeting. Two will be
purchased to go into police cars. Chief Hudson agreed two would work just fine.
HIGHWAY PROJECTS: The Mid-America Regional Council’s Total
Transportation Committee has invited cities to come up with projects for their
list. He invited aldermen and others to contact him with ideas. He said Mr.
Hawver would probably submit the need for traffic signals on Highway 9 and
Coffey Road for consideration.
LIGHTS ON FOR LIFE: December 15th has been designated Lights
On for Life Day, and drivers are asked to leave their headlights on all day in
support of the effort to remind people not to drink and drive. This is
especially important during the holidays when there are so many parties.
MEG HARDING: Mayor Quitmeier said former City Hall receptionist
Meg Harding will do a fine job for District 30 in the Missouri legislature, and
she will hold monthly meetings with constituents in the newly rehabilitated
Train Depot beginning in January. He invited other elected officials to do the
same. At the same time he thanked former Representative Fred Pouche for the
good work he did for us.
CITY
ADMINISTRATOR’S REPORT
The Mayor and Mr. Rupp agreed that Mr.
Hawver’s time had been almost totally taken up with work on the 2001 budget in
recent weeks. There was no written report for this meeting.
POLICE
CHIEF’S REPORT
Chief Hudson said we had a good monthly
report for a change. Christmas on the River went off with almost no hitches.
Mayor Quitmeier agreed that it was very nice. The chief thanked all the friends
who helped, especially the Street Department. Mr. Friedman asked about the
trains. The chief said Burlington Northern & Santa Fe had agreed not to
come through, but they did. They did slow down after a call, and held the last
trains until after the event. There is a new trainmaster.
COMMITTEE
REPORTS
FRIENDS OF THE PARKVILLE ANIMAL SHELTER: Mayor Quitmeier had a report from Amy Pauling of the
FPAS, as follows: Thanks to all the human and animal volunteers who assisted in
raising money for the shelter at Christmas on the River and through the
"Santa Pictures" program on December 3rd. The Christmas on
the River booth raised over $130. The "Santa’s Pictures" were
sponsored by Lucy’s Barkery, and Parkville Coffee and Fudge provided coffee and
hot chocolate. This program netted over $400.
CHANNEL 2: No report.
PLATTE COUNTY COMMUNITY CENTER: Mr. Atkinson said he spoke with Parkville resident
Neil Davidson, who is on the Platte County Parks Committee. Mr. Davidson is
keeping him up to date on this matter, and Mr. Atkinson will meet with the new
parks director and report back to the board.
FINANCIAL REPORT: No report.
MAIN STREET/PARKVILLE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE: Mrs. Arnold thanked everyone at City Hall, the
police and the crew for the excellent job they did for Christmas on the River.
She thanked also Mr. Rittman, who, she said, had already provided them with an
album of photos from the event. That will help them if they apply for grants.
PARKS: No report.
PLANNING AND ZONING: No report.

smoothly, although donations were down. Mayor Quitmeier said Director Gloria

office into the depot over the next few weeks.
