WORK SESSION ON PUBLIC OFFICIALS
LIABILITY
Mr. Campbell distributed literature to
aldermen and mayor. He said two of the
largest areas of litigation for cities are land use decisions and personnel
decisions.
He cited a land use decision example. Basically, he said, land use is an
administrative decision, not a direct function of the Board of Aldermen. The building inspector makes a decision, and
if the applicant feels that decision is wrong he can appeal it to the Board of
Zoning Adjustments (BZA). These powers
are set forth in Chapter 89 RSMo. The
director of public works may overrule the building inspector’s decision. The decision of the Board of Zoning
Adjustments does not come to the Board of Aldermen; if the applicant wants to
appeal the decision of the BZA he can take it directly into court.
Regarding applications for variances, he
said, there can be special use variances without rezoning. These decisions too are made by the BZA.
The Board of Aldermen handles legislative
decisions, made after considering recommendations received from the Planning
& Zoning Commission. That
commission is primarily a fact-finding body and has only an advisory role to
the Board. The Board if Aldermen is
allowed to place conditions on plats and may make other demands upon
developers. There is case law in
Missouri that when applicants record plats it is important that all the
conditions are shown on that plat.
Otherwise, the City has no means of enforcing them.
If the Planning & Zoning Commission
doesn’t approve something, the Board doesn’t necessarily have to consider
it. If the commission recommends
passage of a matter, the Board has to take a vote on it. An applicant wanting to appeal the Board’s
decision has to file a petition for declaratory judgment, charging that the
Board was arbitrary and unreasonable in its decision.
The Board of Aldermen is supposed to be the
entity that grants special use permits.
The Board grants conditional use permits after the matters go to the
Planning & Zoning Commission. The
Board of Zoning Adjustments grants special use permits. In most cities the Board should be doing
both.
Mayor Quitmeier asked if the Board could
grant an application to operate a day care center in violation of zoning? He thought that was a BZA decision. Mr. Campbell said in most cities the
decision on use is given to the City.
The applicable statute is RSMo Chapter 89. (Further discussion on day care zoning was held later in the
meeting.)
Discussion ensued on special uses, variances,
conditional uses, etc. Mr. Campbell
said a special use is something that’s not allowed in a zoning district. Mr. Hawver said some cities call special
uses conditional uses. He said special
use exceptions are listed in zoning law.
There was discussion about the day care issue
presently under consideration. Mr.
Ferguson said that is a rezoning matter.
Mr. Campbell said the other most litigious
issue for cities is employment, adding that we had more practical experience in
that matter.
A videotape dealing with cities and liability
of public officials was played. It was
produced by MARCIT (the Mid America Regional Council Insurance Trust), and in
several scenes referred to the Public Officials Liability handbook.
Mr. Campbell distributed additional
literature. (The discussion on public
officials’ liability was resumed later in the meeting).
The work session was concluded shortly after
7 p.m., and the formal meeting was begun.
All above were still present.
ALSO PRESENT: Police
Chief Bill Hudson
Director of Public
Works Jeff Rupp
Superintendent of
Streets Alan Schank
Kenny Parrish,
Melissa and Pat Walsh for Turkey Trot and Riegelman Run
Jim Grisham
Sallie LaBruzzo
and daughter
Phil Brandis
regarding day care in R-4 zoning
Drew Fleming for
Midwest Everest
Tom Hutsler
Mayor Quitmeier explained that the Board of
Aldermen convened at 6:30 p.m. to hear a presentation by the city attorney on
public officials’ liability. It was not
a closed session.
DAY CARE IN R-4 ZONING
Mr. Brandis said he and his wife want to
start a Montessori pre-school. There is
a great need for additional child care in the northland, and every commercial
operation is way too expensive.
ALDERMAN ARNOLD ARRIVED AT 7:15 P.M.
Mr. Brandis said affordable day care meets
only 28% of the need in Platte County.
He asked the Board to approve the Planning & Zoning Commission’s
recommendation to allow day care by conditional use permit in R-4
(multiple-family residential) zoning.
Mr. Hawver added that most of the (residential) land in the old part of
town is zoned R-4, adding there are probably very few places which would be
appropriate for this use.
Mayor Quitmeier said Mr. Brandis’ application
was originally for a house at 13th and Main. It was mutually decided that was not a good
location.
Mr. Hawver said before a conditional use
permit could be granted everyone within 185' of the proposed location would be
notified for a public hearing. The
recommendation of the Planning & Zoning Commission would then go to the
Board of Aldermen for consideration.
Mr. Brandis said he wasn’t asking for rezoning, just a conditional use
in R-4 zoning.
Mr. Poole asked whether cost was the biggest
factor against commercial operations.
Mr. Brandis said absolutely.
Mayor Quitmeier asked whether he would want to put a day care in an
industrial park. Mr. Brandis said yes,
if the owners would allow it. The mayor
asked about property along Bell Road.
Mr. Poole said his concern is about going into the residential areas,
intruding upon them with an operation involving 15-20 people. That would greatly increase the amount of
traffic in that neighborhood. Mr.
Ferguson said he too had some concerns.
Mayor Quitmeier thanked Mr. Brandis for coming back.
Other discussion on day care was held both
before and after this discussion.
DREW FLEMING FOR EVEREST
Mayor Quitmeier asked the status of the
agreement. He spoke of the need for a
website host. The mayor said we would
like to have high-speed access to the web connection. Mr. Fleming said he would look into it, and asked if would be
just on the website for the city. Mayor
Quitmeier said yes. Mr. Fleming said
T-3 is about the top. He said if we’re going to have our own servers that’s
fine, but he didn’t know about high-speed at this time. “3-meg is probably top right now,” he
said. There is some talk about 10-meg,
but that’s hard to imagine in high-use periods. They would provide a modem to City Hall. At Mr. Hawver’s request, they added that to
the agreement last week.
Mr. Friedman said he read about some cities
having problems with excavations and replacement in some areas. Those cities are in the process of redoing
agreements to require companies to return an area to its original condition
after their work is done. Mr. Fleming
said issues they have run into are more like going through backyard easements,
etc. They are trying to put grass back
in the ground, but during frosts that is impossible. They actually put in the franchise agreement a clause about
notification to homeowners. Excavation
of streets has been an issue with Southwestern Bell, etc. Everest’s preference is to bore as much as
possible unless they are in a situation where boring is more dangerous than
cutting.
Mr. Friedman said some of the excavations
have been left open for quite a while.
The contractors have been working in mud because of their time
schedule. Mr. Fleming Everest is not
going in when it’s muddy. They have a
drop system, and one hardly notices anything when it is done. They are not actually trenching. The mayor questioned, and Mr. Fleming
affirmed, that within the agreement is a clause that they will restore
property. Mayor Quitmeier thanked Mr.
Fleming for coming.
Mr. Poole asked if Everest would require a
minimum cluster of 25 homes to provide service, and would this agreement cover
our new area to be annexed? Mr. Hawver
said he thinks the new agreement, which closely mirrors the agreement with Time
Warner, requires 30 homes at minimum for a customer location site. Some customers won’t meet that
criterion.
The mayor asked for other citizen input. There was none.
REVIEW OF MINUTES
ALDERMAN FERGUSON MOVED TO APPROVE THE
MINUTES OF FEBRUARY 6, 2001, AS PUBLISHED; ALDERMAN POOLE SECONDED; ALL AYE;
MOTION CARRIED.
DISCUSSION OF LIABILITY OF PUBLIC OFFICIALS
(resumed)
Mayor Quitmeier asked Mr. Campbell about the
appropriateness of officials stating their opinion on ordinances, and about
allowing franchises. He noted that a
public hearing is a quasi-judicial proceeding.
Mr. Campbell agreed, and said one thing we’ve never done that a lot of
cities do in discussions involving zoning decisions is that a councilman or
alderman will announce “I’ve been contacted by ‘John Doe’ on this matter, but
my decision is based on what I’m hearing at this hearing.” This was in reference to an issue on the
videotape, in which at a pubic hearing a councilman says something like “I
wouldn’t vote for this because I’ve talked to my constituents, and they’re
against it.” Votes should be made
solely on what the legislator is learning in the public hearing, the tape
stressed.
The mayor asked “If aldermen have conflicts
of interest are they allowed to participate in discussion but just not vote, or
should they leave the room during discussion?”. Mr. Campbell said they do not have to leave the room, at least
not in Missouri, but they can’t vote on the issue. Of course, he said, their participation in the discussion could
influence the decision.
MAYOR’S REPORT
NORTHLAND REGIONAL CHAMBER OF COMMERCE. The
mayor spoke before the planning committee of this group. He said he thinks we should bring more
developers into the planning process.
PARKVILLE HEIGHTS SHOPPING CENTER. Mayor Quitmeier spoke with representatives
of this body. He said River North, the
developer seeking to acquire this property, is close to making a deal with
Associated Wholesale Grocers (AWG) so AWG could have a grocery store in that
center.
MoDOT MEETING ON TRANSPORTATION SYSTEMS.
MoDOT is beginning to make inroads on intelligent traffic devices, i.e.,
mechanical strips to guide snow plows, etc.
There is an area in Cape Girardeau where pictures are taken of people
running red lights. His question was
“Why do we spend all that money on enforcement rather than spending that money
to view oncoming traffic and tell us when it is safe to go?”.
MEG HARDING’S TOWN HALL MEETING FEBRUARY 17th.
Missouri State Representative Harding’s second meeting was very
interesting - he encouraged everyone to attend these sessions. There will be another in the train depot on
March 10th from 9-11.
WEBSITE COMMITTEE. The
mayor asked for website committee members in the latest newsletter, and five
very talented people responded. Their
first meeting went very well. They
will meet again Wednesday, February 28th, in the Train Depot. This committee is still forming.
MARC’S TOTAL TRANSPORTATION POLICY COMMITTEE.
This group is still debating light rail.
EVENTS COMMITTEE.
This group met that afternoon and basically approved the Jazz Festival
but there are modifications to be made before it is approved.
TURKEY TRAIL TROT AND RIEGELMAN RUN. The
mayor called on Mr. Parrish and Mr. and Mrs. Walsh, who presented the City with
a check for $4,000 to be used for the Nature Sanctuary and English Landing
Park. This represents net proceeds from
the Turkey Trot. They also asked the
City for approval for the upcoming annual Riegelman Run (see letter attached). It was agreed the Turkey Trot is probably in
the top ten running events in the country as far as numbers of participants are
concerned. Mr. Parrish wanted to
specifically acknowledge the help of the Walshes on both races; there are not a
lot of people in town with the knowledge to run road races, he said.
Mr. Parrish said he had discussed park
drainage with city staff, and he hopes part of the check can take care of the
problem of stormwater drainage in the park.
Mayor Quitmeier asked if aldermen had specific requests as to how to use
the donation. None did.
ALDERMAN FRANK McCOY MOVED TO APPROVE THE
RIEGELMAN RUN FOR APRIL 1, 2000, AS OUTLINED; ALDERMAN POOLE SECONDED; ALL AYE;
MOTION CARRIED.
Mayor Quitmeier asked Mr. Parrish to tell the
River Trail Committee how much we appreciate the trail and how much it is
used. Mr. Parrish replied that
everything that everybody does (for the events) is important.
CITY ADMINISTRATOR
MISSOURI AMERICAN WATER COMPANY CONTRACTS.
Regarding the
contract to have the water company bill our sewer bills: The
up-front cost the City would pay (up to $7,500) to cover the water company’s
costs in setting up its system to handle our sewer bills was discussed. Mr. Ferguson asked if that sum was in
addition to the $11,000 a year we would pay them for doing the service. Mr. David McCoy said yes, but said our
alternative was to buy a new sewer billing program.
Regarding the
payment collection agreement: Mr. Atkinson asked if Apple Market would
still serve as a collection agent for the water company once the City starts to
take water payments. Mr. Hawver said
yes, or that service might not continue.
The present plan is to continue with both payment agencies.
POLICE CHIEF
Chief Hudson said it has been pretty quiet
for the last couple of months. The
police clerk is back after emergency surgery.
He told the mayor there is another component to the traffic signals he
was talking about. When a sensor
detects that someone is running a red light it holds the other light. A ticket to the violator is one way to pay
for the light. He thought maybe that system could keep some of these
intersection accidents from happening, even without tickets.
COMMITTEE REPORTS
ANIMAL SHELTER: No report.
CHANNEL 2: No report.
COMMUNITY CENTER: No report.
Mayor Quitmeier said one of the reasons we haven’t done anything with
the Community Center is that a lot depends on whether River North acquires the
Parkville Heights Shopping Center and subsequently donates a portion of it for
the community center. Mr. Atkinson
suggested he would get together with the new director of parks for the county.
FINANCIAL: Mr. Ferguson referred to the December Financial Statement and the
semi-annual financial Statement, both enclosed in packets. We ended the year with a surplus of
$300,000, he said. Expenses were
$140,000 less than we budgeted. Permits
exceeded anticipation by $109,000, and court revenue by $67,000. Some taxes were less than we expected. It was an excellent year.
ALDERMAN FERGUSON MOVED TO APPROVE THE
DECEMBER AND SEMI-ANNUAL STATEMENTS AND DIRECT THE CITY CLERK TO PUBLISH THE
SEMI-ANNUAL STATEMENT; ALDERMAN ATKINSON SECONDED; ALL AYE; MOTION CARRIED.
Mr. Rittman asked how we are going to treat
the surplus. Put it in the reserve
fund? Increase capital expenses? Mr. Ferguson said that can be
considered. Mayor Quitmeier asked Mr.
Hawver to report on that at the next meeting.
MAIN STREET/CHAMBER OF COMMERCE: No report.
NATURE SANCTUARY: Mr. Dave McCoy said Nature Sanctuary Director
Jim Reed presented his annual report.
Mr. McCoy would encourage all to look at it.
PARKS: Mr. Poole said there would be a meeting next Monday night.
PARKVILLE JUNIOR GOVERNMENT: Mr. Atkinson reported that the two mock
government sessions with Graden School 4th-graders would probably be
held in April. He also reported that he
and Alderman Arnold would be attending a legislative session in Jefferson City
and would be breakfasting with Meg Harding.
PLANNING AND ZONING: No report.
RECYCLING AND SOLID WASTE: No report.
TRAIN DEPOT: No report. Mayor Quitmeier
said it is a beautiful building. At the
MARC TTP meeting he attended they were talking about shortening the time span
to complete grant work on such projects, but he reported to them the problems
we had getting the train station done, and they reconsidered.
TREE BOARD: No report.
BILLS AND ORDINANCES
DAY CARE REZONING: Mr. Atkinson said day care is needed, but
he understands aldermen’s concerns. The
mayor said they didn’t have to read the bill that night. Mr. Friedman said putting it on a
conditional use permit basis means each application would have to judged
according to its merits. Mr. Atkinson
agreed, but said neighbors would get the noise. Mr. Friedman said why not just make it available and let future
boards decide on each case? Mr. Poole
said his concern was that future boards might not listen to the neighbors. Mayor Quitmeier said he was not certain
areas want to encourage that as a use.
Maybe we could subdivide portions of R-4 where it would be allowed but
not in other areas. Mr. Ferguson said
anytime you’re looking at 20 or more kids that’s a major disruption to a
neighborhood. The mayor suggested
making a distinction by numbers which could be enrolled. Mr. Rittman suggested a little more
review.

CONTRACTS AND AGREEMENTS
CONTRACTS WITH MISSOURI AMERICAN WATER
COMPANY FOR BILLING AND COLLECTION OF WATER AND SEWER BILLS: Mr.
Ferguson said he couldn’t see spending $11,000 a year less what we might
collect through the payment collection agreement. We’ve been doing it in-house all these years. Mr. Dave McCoy said doing it in-house costs
us $10,000 a year. Mr. Ferguson said we
are not saving any salary costs by this agreement. Mr. Poole asked if the estimated income is based on a percentage
of people coming in to pay their water/sewer bills? Mayor Quitmeier said it is based on the number of people who are
currently coming into City Hall to pay their sewer bills.

CONTRACT WITH KC TREE SERVICE: Mr. Friedman asked if these were 33 mature
trees from about 3rd Street to 9th? Mr. Ferguson said he thought the Board was
going to get a list of trees before they were removed. Mr. Hawver said staff made a commitment to
enumerate each tree to be cut down, but these trees are just going to be
trimmed.

RESOLUTION FOR MAIN STREET PARKVILLE
ASSOCIATION
Mayor Quitmeier read a resolution designating
the Main Street Parkville Association a designated marketing organization for
the purpose of obtaining a grant. The resolution is attached to these minutes.
ALDERMAN FRIEDMAN MOVED TO APPROVE THE
RESOLUTION FOR THE MAYOR’S SIGNATURE; ALDERMAN ARNOLD SECONDED.
Mr. Rittman asked what she was doing. Mrs. Arnold said applying for a grant to
develop a Main Street website. Discussion ensued on the Chamber/Main Street
connection. The mayor and Mrs. Arnold
said there is movement to try to combine the two entities. Mrs. Arnold will keep everyone
informed.
ALL AYE; MOTION CARRIED.
OTHER BUSINESS
Mr. Rupp said he wanted to make the Board
aware that three of our primary sewer lift stations sustained failures in the
last few weeks. The bottom line is
about $25,000 on those three stations combined. We have funds within the current sewer budget at this time. If we run into any further problems we may
need budget adjustments. Mr. Friedman
asked if these problems were due to normal wear and tear; Mr. Rupp said the
cause is primarily age, but some of the equipment is being used with
substitutes for the original components, which are no longer available. The equipment has deteriorated. All the stations have been reaching this
point, and it has had almost a domino effect. There are various maintenance
issues. Mr. Friedman asked if the
equipment should last a reasonable period of time after the repairs. Mr. Rupp’s response is that it is difficult
to tell with pump equipment, but any new parts would, to some extent, prolong
the life of the station. Mr. Rittman
said the sewer rate increase was to pay for additional maintenance. Is this supplemental to that? The mayor said these items were not included
specifically in the rate increase. Mr.
Rupp said maintenance was part of the reason for the increase. He said we budgeted $20,000 this year for
pump station maintenance, anticipating these breakdowns.
ALDERMAN FERGUSON MOVED TO ADJOURN; ALDERMAN
ATKINSON SECONDED.
Mr. Poole asked about the Missouri American
Water Company agreements, asking what is our recourse if we don’t want to
continue with them? Can we get out of
the agreement? Mr. Hawver said yes,
with 60 days notice. Mr. Ferguson said
yes, but we still have to buy the program if we do that.
SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS IN THE NATIONAL: Mr. Hawver said some owners in The National
said they weren’t advised of the special assessments. He asked for legal advice, and found the assessment is disclosed
in the title work. Mayor Quitmeier said
it is also part of the contract. The
mayor said The National has agreed to give everybody who walks through the door
a piece of colored paper that says there are special assessments.
NEIGHBORHOOD IMPROVEMENT BONDS SIGNING: Mayor Quitmeier said The National has asked
for a special board meeting Thursday, March 1, at noon, to consider an
ordinance authorizing the sale of NID bonds.
He asked everyone if they could attend a meeting of about five
minutes. All agreed, but asked to be
reminded.
SOUTH PLATTE FIRE OPEN HOUSE AT NEW STATION: Mr. Hawver reminded aldermen about this
date.
The motion to adjourn was called.
ALL AYE; MOTION CARRIED.
The meeting was adjourned at 8:30 p.m.
