Mayor Kutz opened the public hearing. Mr. Hawver gave a summary of the actions and discussions which preceded this public hearing. Dr. and Mrs. Tom Welsh bought a large piece of property in Kansas City bordering the Riss Lake subdivision. Accessibility to the property from Kansas City was not feasible, so they asked to use the platted but not built portion of Quail Ridge Drive, opening from Sleepy Hollow, as a driveway to their house. The benefits to the residents of Sleepy Hollow and others in Riss Lake would be that there would never be a multi-family subdivision built behind them, nor a street coming out into Riss Lake from that subdivision.

Mr. Gunn said plans for landscaping along the driveway had been sent to neighbors with the request to contact the Welshes if it did not suit them. No complaints were received. Mr. Gunn also mentioned that at some point the Welshes might get a tax deduction. They have offered a conservation easement along the edge of their property. The deduction application would require the City's signature. Mayor Kutz said he saw no problem with that; it seemed perfectly reasonable.

Mr. Sportsman asked if the Askins had been contacted, and if the plan was all right with them. Dr. Welsh said he left a detailed plan with their daughter with a note asking them to call him if they had any problems; he did not hear from them. Mr. Mowry, whose property abuts the proposed driveway, said he heard no problems at all in conversations with his neighbors. Mr. Hawver said he looked at the warranty deed. (The first step in the process would be the vacation of the Street by the City with half the street going to the neighbors on each side. The second step would be for those neighbors, the Sobbas and the Mowrys, to deed the land back to the city. The third step would be for the City to grant a permanent driveway easement to the Welshes.) He saw no problems with the deed. He asked Mr. Gunn to explain it. Mr. Gunn said the deed was a Special Warranty Deed. Mr. Hawver said Mayor Kutz did the survey work at no cost.

Mr. Rittman asked if Mr. Hawver was comfortable that these actions represent the best interests of the city and residents. Mr. Hawver said yes. Discussion ensued on the sequence of the actions, and it was noted the Board of Aldermen could not grant the permanent driveway easement until the street vacation was recorded and the warranty deed conveyed to the City.

ALDERMAN FERGUSON MOVED THAT BILL 2032, VACATING QUAIL RIDGE DRIVE EAST OF SLEEPY HOLLOW, BE APPROVED FOR FIRST READING; ALDERMAN POOLE SECONDED; ALL AYE; MOTION CARRIED.

ALDERMAN FERGUSON MOVED THAT BILL 2032 BE APPROVED ON FIRST READING AND PASSED TO SECOND READING BY TITLE ONLY; ALDERMAN SPORTSMAN SECONDED; ALL AYE; MOTION CARRIED.

ALDERMAN FERGUSON MOVED THAT BILL 2032 BE APPROVED ON SECOND READING TO BECOME ORDINANCE 2016; ALDERMAN POOLE SECONDED; ALL AYE BY ROLL CALL; MOTION CARRIED 8-0.

Bill 2032 was posted 6/4/02.

Mr. Sportsman asked if it would be necessary to hold a special meeting to grant the driveway easement. Discussion ensued. It was agreed the easement could wait until the next scheduled meeting.

Mayor Kutz said he would like to thank Mr. Sportsman and former Alderman Frank McCoy for the time and effort they put into resolving this matter to the satisfaction of the neighborhood.

Sean Rollison and Sean Rivers of Troop #393 said they were present to earn their Citizenship in the Community badges.

The presentation was the result of complaints by Riss Lake residents of increased awareness of louder and more frequent blasting.

Mr. Misenheimer introduced the Martin Marietta officials he brought with him, and Mr. Wheeler, the independent seismologist who monitors their mining operations.

Mr. Wheeler gave a detailed report on the seismic activity of the quarrying operation in the time that Martin Marietta has owned it. The monitors are on 24 hours a day and 7 days a week. He explained that the seismic monitors they use are similar but not exactly the same as seismographs used to monitor earthquakes, and they do not use the Richter scale. He said Martin Marietta has done a great job of keeping the levels of blasting very reasonable.

He referred to United States of Bureau regulations, and said these blasting activities are governed by R18507 and R18896. Mr. Hawver said our mining plan has set limits. Mr. Bhatnagay said 1.55 is the limit established.

Mr. Hawver asked if something specific happened in January or February. That seemed to be when complaints began. Mr. Misenheimer said they were moving the primary crusher down into the mine. They had to blast some areas to accomplish that. They had to blast at a time which did not interfere with regular production of the mine. It was a one-time situation to address a specific set of circumstances.

Mr. Rittman asked for Mr. Wheeler's comments about effects of the blasting on the safety of the dam at Riss Lake . Mr. Wheeler said it is safer from damage than a house. Mr. Hawver asked Mr. Wheeler if there is any danger to Riss Lake or Riverchase? Mr. Wheeler said not even a remote possibility.

Mr. Friedman asked if they have permission to blast underneath the White Alloe Conservation Area, property which now belongs to the State. Mr. Bhatnagay said yes.

Mrs. Dusenbery asked about the setbacks. Mr. Hawver said they are set out in the mining plan. They call for mining to stay at least 100' from the Riss Lake border.

Mr. Rittman asked if they plan to leave the seismographs where they are. Mr. Misenheimer said they like to have a seismograph in an area that represents the neighborhood. They change the way they mine as they get closer to neighbors so it will have less impact. Mrs. Dusenbery asked if residents could receive notice when the company is planning to do something special, beyond what they normally do. Mr. Misenheimer said yes.

There is no current plant manager. Mr. Bhatnagay was promoted fairly recently, and they are interviewing for his replacement. Mr. Sportsman asked that the plant manager meet with Mr. Hawver at least once a year. He thanked Martin Marietta representatives for coming out and giving them reassurance that their operation won't have a continuing effect on their houses.

Mr. Sportsman asked what could be done on the ground over the mine when it is all mined out. Mr. Misenheimer said their operation is 150'-200' below ground. Mayor Kutz said there are a lot of things that can be built atop mines, but the legal ramifications can be hard to deal with.

Mayor Kutz echoed Mr. Sportsman's appreciation. He asked if there were any other questions. There were none.

MAIN STREET: Mr. Gangai spoke about the Main Street Parkville Association, of which he is chairperson. They have had a couple of meetings with the Parkville Community Development Corporation, which has kind of decided to curtail their activities, he said; what PCDC has been doing is pretty much null and void now, so Main Street is moving forward to take over some of the events. Main Street has signed agreements with Parkville Riverfest, Inc., for the 4^th of July and Parkville Days. They're working on agreements with PCDC to take over Jazzfest and Christmas on the River. Main Street has already applied for and received its non-profit State of Missouri status and is now working on getting a federal 501 status, which PCDC currently holds.

Mr. Rittman asked if the 501C3 is still under PCDC. Mr. Gangai said yes. Main Street is also exploring the option of doing a 501C6, like Weston. They've been working with Mike Gunn and another attorney. They need 501 status to go out and sell tickets for Christmas on the River so people can take donations off their federal taxes; also the Missouri Arts Council requires 501 status for grant recipients. The Main Street Parkville Association also has the Merchants Association, and acts as liaison to the City.

Mr. Rittman asked about bylaws - would they be updated? Mr. Gangai said yes. They (Main Street) sit on the PCDC Board as well, and they talked to them about just doing a name change and taking over those by-laws, but after talking to Mike Gunn they realized the statement of purpose for PCDC is 7-8 years old, and that's not really what MSPA is doing now. The majority part of their funding was through NAP (Neighborhood Assistance Program) credits. Those NAP credits are for neighborhood assistance, and that is not what historic downtown Parkville needs now; it just needs assistance from the merchants, and from the City, they hope. Mr. Rittman asked for copies of the bylaws when they're ready. Mr. Gangai said yes. He can get him copies of the Main Street guidelines and bylaws now, which they've instituted. Mr. Rittman said it's the updated ones he's interested in.

FOURTH OF JULY: Mr. Hutsler said he has been working with Mr. Hawver. The 4^th was basically approved last year for actual dates and specifics. Tonight he would like to make a couple of announcements for the 4^th. Theme is "Let Freedom Ring," and grand marshals are current, retired, volunteer and future firefighters of the South Platte Fire District. The 4^th celebration will be on the 3^rd, 4^th, 5^th and 6^th. The carnival will run for four days, and all the major activities will be on the 4^th - the Lions Pancake Breakfast from 7-11, parade at 11 a.m. from 63^rd Street to downtown on Highway 9/Main Street. Participants start showing up for the parade at 9:30. Call 505-2227 or 436-5739 about the parade. Be sure to leave your phone number. At noon the carnival begins and ends at 11 p.m. It will be on the parking lot. Fireworks will start at 9:45. Hopefully they will be contacting Wald's Fireworks for the fireworks.

ALDERMAN RITTMAN MOVED TO PROVIDE PORTABLE TOILETS, TRASH DUMPSTERS, ETC., FOR THE FOURTH OF JULY; ALDERMEN McCOY AND SPORTSMAN SECONDED; ALL AYE; MOTION CARRIED 8-0.

Mr. Friedman asked if the carnival would be kept away from the Farmers Market so their customers would have parking. Mr. Hutsler said yes, the carnival comes in on Sunday, and they will set up with their motor homes behind English Landing Center. Last year they set up three rides in the north end of the Farmers Market parking lot, and they've been told this year to leave a great distance between the rides and the market.

ALDERMAN RITTMAN MOVED THAT THE BANNER FOR 4^TH OF JULY GO UP 10-14 DAYS BEFORE THE EVENT; ALDERMAN ARNOLD SECONDED; ALL AYE; MOTION CARRIED.

PARKVILLE DAYS: Mr. Hutsler said it would be held August 23^rd through 25^th. It will be held again in English Landing Park. It worked out well last year. They need a beer license to sell beer and light wine in the park. The parade will be on Saturday at 11 a.m. with high school bands.

Mrs. Arnold asked if he had the financials for last year. Mr. Hutsler said he had them, but Karen Montgomery had surgery that day and couldn't be present with them. Mr. McCoy asked that they be broken out by event. Mr. Hutsler said MSPA has taken over both of these festivals; they signed a contract. By the end of the year they hope all the events will be under one roof, one office, one phone number. They have approximately $8,000 left over from last year. They are going to donate that to MSPA to cover costs of events this year, including insurance.

Mr. Poole asked about cleanup. Mr. Hutsler said cleanup is at the mercy of the vendors, the volunteers; it's the messy job no-one wants to do. Mr. Poole suggested some of that money be put toward hiring cleanup for this year. Mr. Hawver agreed that contracting with someone to do cleanup would be a good idea. Mr. Poole asked not to have trash all over the place. Mr. Hutsler said the city crews have come through and helped out in a big way. He said they are looking for a lot of non-profit groups to do vending at this festival. Call 436-5739 or 505-2227.

Mrs. Arnold suggested event sponsors put a deposit down for cleanup, which they can get back if the park is left clean. She asked Mrs. Lance if large groups have to put a deposit down for use of the park, and Mrs. Lance said yes, but she didn't know the amount.

Mr. Rittman asked about the Japanese steak house. Mr. Hutsler said co-owner Winnie Wang was present. It looks like it will open September 1^st.

It was decided to wait for approval on Parkville Days.

ALDERMAN FERGUSON MOVED TO APPROVE THE MINUTES OF MAY 21^st AS PUBLISHED; ALDERMAN SPORTSMAN SECONDED; ALL AYE; MOTION CARRIED.

TIF PROJECT AT HIGHWAYS 9 AND 45: Mayor Kutz said he talked with Jim Allen of River North (and The National) about Parkville Commons, the TIF-approved development planned for the area now occupied by the Parkville Heights Shopping Center. Mr. Allen said they have been fairly successful in acquiring quite a lot of tenants. They really want to get rolling on it right now. Roxsen Koch of King Hershey Coleman Koch & Stone, who acts as the TIF attorney, is reviewing the matter now. It is hoped they can get that development contract signed very shortly. Mrs. Arnold asked if they have been talking with the present tenants. Mayor Kutz said they are making every effort they can to relocate them into the new project. Mrs. Dusenbery said Dr. Kay Barney said she hasn't heard from them at all.

TORNADO SIRENS: Mr. Hawver said he had been asked to report on the need for tornado sirens. He had included in his report, distributed in the packets, information about tornadoes and a map showing areas of coverage for present sirens and a potential site where a tornado siren could be located to serve residents on the north side of The National. The report is attached to these minutes. Mrs. Dusenbery said that area is located near Weatherby Lake, and that city is looking at coverage. Mr. McCoy suggested we talk to them about a cooperative agreement to get area coverage with one siren.

Mr. Hawver said it's tough to find a good location. There are several options. He estimates the cost for a siren would be about $16,000, as we paid about $30,000 for two. The National has two weather stations within the National and a GIS system to alert the golfers. There was discussion about whether River Hills Estates is covered by the present siren, and he said he would make sure someone is out there when the next test is conducted to see whether residents can hear it.

There was a question about sirens in the newly annexed area. Mr. Hawver said it is not feasible at this time to purchase sirens for such a large sparsely populated area.

STAGE IN PARK: The site proposed for the stage has not been well received by event sponsors. Mr. Hawver outlined the options:

• ?Construct the stage below the old sewer plant as proposed.
• ?Construct the stage in the tree-shaded area where Jazzfest has its event.
• ?Consider purchasing a portable stage which is contained in a trailer.

We could also forget about the stage altogether. He is continuing to research this project, and he will discuss the matter with the Platte County Park commissioners, who made the grant to us to construct the permanent stage below the old sewer plant.

He is going to look at a portable stage in St. Louis, and he will try to take a video of it when he is there this weekend.

ACTIVITY REPORT FOR COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT: Mr. Hawver said Community Development Director Danielle Devlin had distributed a report on the activities of that department; she will provide one monthly. Weeds will be addressed in subsequent reports.

Sergeant Moyer said the chief's report was included in the packets. It covered the following items:

• ?Vandalism in the Martin Marietta mine. Officer Steve Burton got a tip on possible suspects. Detective Ron Canaday is following up on the information.
• ?Enough evidence has been uncovered to warrant further investigation by another agency on counterfeit and forged checks.
• ?A grant for $583.50 has been received to purchase another bullet resistant vest. This grant money has enabled us to cut our purchase costs of vests in half; we buy one, they buy one.
• ?Notes and calls of commendation for Parkville officers have been received. They include:

• Officer Bagley with his own money bought gas for a stranded motorist. The person sent a note commending him, along with a check for the gas.
• John Delich commended Officer Brian Bradley for finding his garage door open, saying the placement of the door would make it extremely difficult for an officer to see the door was open, so this showed a great deal of diligence.
• Lori Fisher of Synergy thanked Sergeant Moyer for his assistance with a technological problem.
• Mr. Hawver informed the chief of some good work by Sgt. Kevin Davis and Officer Kris Cornell. They apprehended a couple of young men who tipped over the portable toilet in English Landing Park. The officers told the perpetrators they could either clean up the mess or be charged. They chose to clean it up, and Mr. Hawver found them doing that early Sunday morning.

Mrs. Arnold said she and Mr. Ferguson were made aware of early morning trash pickups (prohibited by our code because of the noise disturbance), and they asked the police to monitor the situation. They did, and took care of it.

CHANNEL 2 AND www.parkvillemo.com: Mr. Rittman said they were checking into grant funds for training, etc., but there were too many strings attached, so they gave up on that idea.

COMMUNITY CENTER: Mr. Sportsman referred to a report from Platte County reporting on a random survey of 650 households in Platte County about the new community center. He had supplied it to the city clerk to copy to put in meeting packets. A copy of that report is on file in the office of the city clerk and is available for review.

ALDERMAN RITTMAN LEFT AT 8:40.

Mr. Sportsman said the next meeting would be the following night at 6 p.m. in the Platte County Administration Building. Things look very promising.

FARMERS MARKET: Mr. Friedman said it is just as good as ever, and urged people to get down there.

MAIN STREET/PARKVILLE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE: Mrs. Arnold passed around pictures of the recent Parkville Chamber of Commerce meeting at Platte Valley Bank, taken by journalist Martha Zirschky and published in the Platte Dispatch. The next meeting will be in July, with the date and place to be announced.

She thanked Mr. Schank for putting up the banner for Jazzfest.

Mrs. Arnold distributed material about a proposed guest room tax. A couple of years ago Platte County KCI Area Convention and Visitors Bureau Director Cheryl Thorp suggested Parkville consider a guest room tax, in light of the hotels and other facilities which could be built in developing areas. At that time Parkville was not eligible to assess this tax under the statutes of the State of Missouri. Missouri 30^th District Representative Meg Harding subsequently co-sponsored legislation which included Parkville among those cities which could charge 2% to 5% on each guest room bill. Ms. Thorp worked up a report for us, showing the amount of income which could be brought in by such a tax. Mrs. Arnold asked aldermen to review the material and consider passing an ordinance next month to put a guest room tax on the November ballot.

Mr. Hawver expressed appreciation to Rep. Harding for going out of her way to see that Parkville would be able to participate in this method of funding.

NATURE SANCTUARY: Maps of the Nature Sanctuary have been completed, Mr. McCoy said. Copies are available at City Hall. Director Jim Reed led a community hike June 1^st; about eight people attended. Eagle Scout projects are being completed. Last week an Eagle Scout completed one where a 25' boardwalk was built in a fairly wet area near the overlook up on the hill. Both day camps are filled with about 15 campers each; there is increasing interest in these activities. Nature Sanctuary people have asked him to express thanks to City staff for helping them get a storage building built, especially to Jeff Rupp.

Mr. Friedman distributed to other Board members and the mayor a proposal from Kelly Batcheller, AIA, to develop a concept and presentation for a proposed Nature Center in the Parkville Nature Sanctuary. He characterized it as a museum/classroom/indoor viewing area. He said the committee felt they need a plan to get it going. The cost of the completed project is estimated at $250,000. The cost of the concept and presentation, described in detail in the proposal, would be $7,000. It would include developing the concept, meeting with the Nature Sanctuary Committee monthly to develop a program for the project and discuss ideas and concepts, preparing a model and presentation drawings for fund-raising, and estimating cost for the construction of the project.

Mr. Hawver said when we remodeled the train depot we had a problem because the architect with whom we contracted to do the job moved away in the middle of it and assigned his responsibility to another architect of his choosing. We had trouble working with this architect and wanted to take the plan and have an architect of our choosing complete it, but the original architect said he owned the plans. Discussion ensued on this project. Ms. Batcheller said yes, architects do own the plans they design.

Mr. Friedman said the building would need an office, and might relieve the need for more office space in City Hall, as it would be located immediately adjacent.

Mr. Sportsman said he would like to see a more detailed plan - how the $250,000 would be raised, etc. He'd like to know more before we commit the City to spending $7,000. Mr. Friedman said you have to have the model before you can get sponsorship. Mr. Sportsman said he would like to see a business plan, including a plan for how the bills are to be paid once the building is constructed, i.e., utilities, etc. Mr. McCoy agreed, saying he would like to see some sense of feasibility that the money could be raised.

Mr. Friedman said this is not money the City put in the budget for the Nature Sanctuary, but money raised by the Nature Sanctuary director and committee members.

Ms. Batcheller said construction might be planned in phases as funds permit. That idea could be explored in the initial process.

Mrs. Arnold pointed out the City put a lot of money into a study for a golf course on campus land. Mr. McCoy said it would be helpful to have Nature Sanctuary members come to the next meeting and explain things in more detail. Mr. Sportsman agreed. Mayor Kutz asked Mr. Friedman if they could come up with proposed costs for maintenance, etc. Mr. Hawver said he thought Jim Reed could come up with some of the answers.

Discussion ensued on dividing the proposal into two factors, the first being the program plan, which the City would own, and the other being the architectural plan, which Ms. Batcheller would own.

Mayor Kutz suggested a meeting with Mr. Friedman, Ms. Batcheller, Mr. Hawver, Jim Reed and himself.

PARKS: Mr. Poole suggested to Mr. Hawver that they might get the Parks Committee to move the next meeting up a little to discuss the stage. Mr. Hawver suggested June 17^th. He will get with Mr. Poole about that date.

PLANNING: Mr. Ferguson said the next meeting would be June 11^th. They would consider amending the membership rules in the Zoning Ordinance to conform to State law; consider rezoning 10400 Highway 45 from residential to B-4; consider a preliminary plat to incorporate and subdivide property west of English Landing Center; consider a final plat to incorporate and subdivide property west of English Landing Center; and consider approval of building plans for a structure on property west of English Landing Center in the Old Town District. The July meeting will be on July 9^th.

Mayor Kutz asked for any other business. There was none.

ALDERMAN FERGUSON MOVED THAT BILL BE APPROVED ON SECOND READING TO BECOME ORDINANCE 2017; ALDERMAN SPORTSMAN SECONDED.

A question arose as to why the legal descriptions were not attached. Mr. Hawver asked the city clerk why they were not; she said that in conversation with the director of community development it was discovered the legal description for English Landing Park was incomplete, in that it did not have the description of the property purchased from the Brown/Smalley family in the 1970's. It was agreed to complete the description and bring the bill back to the Board at the next meeting with all attachments.

Bill C/A 60 was posted 5/30/02.

Mr. Hawver was questioned about when payments would start. He said the City has been paying for some months; the County was nice enough to do the work without a written contract. Mrs. Dusenbery asked the actual cost. Mr. Hawver said it is set forth in Item 3. He has on file the rates, which comply mainly with FEMA's current scale for labor and equipment.

ALDERMAN FERGUSON MOVED THAT BILL A-695, TO PAY LISTED SALARIES AND ACCOUNTS, BE APPROVED FOR FIRST READING; ALDERMAN POOLE SECONDED; ALL AYE; MOTION CARRIED.
