No,
no,
we
have
a
quorum.
No
personal
appearances,
no
ordinances
resolution,
hey
motion,
approving
resolution,
2023-05.
C
E
Only
comment
I
I've
been
approached
and
called
and
emailed
by
numerous
people,
especially
out
in
our
Ward
me
and
Perry,
butt
up
to
this
close
to
this
area
that
they
want
to
go
into
so
I'm
helping
Raymore
leave
some
in
Grandview
and
anybody
else
that's
trying
to
stop.
This
is
critical
to
people
in
our
area,
so
I
I
hope
that
we
all
support
this
and
again.
F
Anybody
else
I,
second,
that
I
know
I've,
had
calls
also
here
this
past
week
regarding
it
wanting
to
know
what
our
our
position
is
going
to
be
in
Melton
and
I
said
well,
I
think
Tuesday
we're
going
to
take
care
of
that.
So
just
pay
attention
so.
G
E
Problem
is:
is
they've
already
been
down
to
Jeff
City
talking
to
the
politicians
trying
to
get
them
on
board
to
get
it
passed.
So
that's
where
it's
Jackson,
County
Kansas
City
has
denied
it.
Yes,
but
I
think
they
know
something's
going
on.
They
just
don't
want
to
come
out
and
say
it
because
it's
an
economic
development
probably
deal
probably.
F
F
H
Councilman
Powell
I
believe
that
they
have
come
out
and
said
that
nothing
has
been
applied
for
yet
I,
don't
believe
anybody's
come
out
and
publicly
denied
that
anything
is
is
in
the
works
and
there
is
a
lot
of
activity
going
on.
There
is
an
attorney:
that's
been
hired
who's
very
who's,
one
of
the
most
most
premier,
if
not
the
premier
development
attorney
in
the
area
and
there's
been
some
potential
land
not
actually
taking
not
actually
Changing
Hands
yet,
but
that
is
I.
Think
tentatively
spoken
for
for
this.
G
B
I
E
A
J
H
Good
that's
coming
up
is
this
on.
Here
we
go
all
right.
Thank
you
folks.
This
is
our
operations.
Budget
workshop
and
I
have
the
presentation
online
on
the
screen.
Hopefully
the
zoom
folks
can
see
that
also
everybody
here,
staff
and
Council
has
a
copy
of
the
paper
version
in
your
hands.
So
we'll
go
through
this,
and
this
is
my.
This
is
our
presentation
for
the
workshop.
So
this
is
not
nothing
I
just
want
to
remind
everybody.
Nothing's
final,
all
right,
tonight's
goals.
We
want
to
review
priorities,
understand
what
our
current
environment
is.
H
We
want
to
have
a
basic
overview
of
where
our
money
comes
from
and
where
it
potentially
would
be
going
in
2020
fiscal
year
2024
and
essentially
discuss
major
changes
for
fiscal
year
2024..
So
that's
what
we're
trying
to
accomplish
with
our
operations
budget
Workshop
this
evening
current
challenges.
We
have
a
new
finance
department
leadership.
Obviously
this
is
the
first
budget
for
myself,
the
first
budget,
or
not
first
budget
ever
but
first
belt
and
budget
for
myself,
first
belt
and
budget
for
our
finance
director,
first
belt
and
budget
for
our
assistant,
Finance
director.
H
So
we
it's
been
a
lot
of
work,
I'd
say
a
labor
of
love,
I,
don't
know
that
might
be
a
little
bit
strong,
but
we
we
are
still
learning
this
in
depth.
We
have
a
really
good
handle
on
it
now,
but
I
just
want
you
to
understand.
This
is
the
first
one
for
us
and
so
that
it's
been
a
lot
of
extra
effort
to
make
sure
we
know
what's
going
on
and
where
things
are
going
and
where
they're
coming
from
and
then
you
guys.
H
Obviously
you
financial
reporting
kind
of
ceased
to
the
city
council
is
in
in
the
middle
of
fiscal
year.
2022
there
were
no
Financial
reports.
We
had.
The
audit
was
never
done
for
2022,
that's
currently
in
process.
H
So
it's
not
like
we're
not
doing
it,
but
it's
it's
obviously
super
late,
but
so
that's
just
catching
up
on
the
finance
side
has
created,
has
just
made
it
a
little
more
difficult
than
it
normally
would
be,
and
fiscal
year,
2023
was
programmed
with
a
lot
of
existing
fund
balances,
budgeted
for
the
year
kind
of
depleting
those
fund
balances
in
the
rainy
day
funds.
Now,
luckily,
not
all
that
money
was
spent,
but
it
was
budgeted
so
I
just
I
mean.
H
So
when
you
looked
at
the
budget
from
23
and
then
you
pushed
it
forward
to
24.
at
first,
it
looked
really
Bleak
because
it
looked
like
we
were
running
out
of
money,
but
because
so
much
was
programmed
in
2023,
but
more
was
programmed
at
23
than
we
could
possibly
spend,
even
because
we
don't
have
the
staff
to
implement
those.
You
know
all
that
spending
and-
and
luckily
and
so
we're
not
in
in
bad
shape
at
this
point,
but
we
also
are
in
a
situation
where
we
want
to
make
sure
we're
being
conservative
and
are
responsible.
H
So
you'll
recall
that
as
we
started
our
budget
process
a
few
months
back,
we
got,
we
talked
about
talked
to.
The
wards
got
their
feedback.
We
we
reached
out
to
you
individually
and
asked
for
your
feedback.
We
came
together
and
said:
okay,
let's,
let's
settle
on
some
priorities,
and
these
are
some
of
these
were
the
common
priorities
that
are
as
they're
related
to
our
budget
anyway,
sidewalks.
H
That
was
another
issue
that
came
up
quite
a
bit
both
in
Wards
and
with
the
councils
council
members
listing
it
as
a
priority
and,
of
course,
continued
development
has
also
been
a
big
priority
that
we've
we've
all
agreed
on
for,
since
you
know,
since
I
was
hired
and
probably
well
before
that,
specifically
city
manager
goals
I,
you
know,
I've
listed
these
things
that
that
a
lot
of
them
were
discussed
when
I
was
hired
and
they've
been.
You
know
they
make
a
lot
of
sense,
their
Common
Sense.
H
We
want
to
create
a
better
working
environment
to
allow
staff
to
thrive.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
improving
and
fostering
Community
Partnerships
and
relations
that
are
going
well.
We
want
to
improve
public
Communications
and
transparency.
We
want
responsible,
Financial
stewardship
of
taxpayer
money
and
we
want
to
ensure
that
we
have
a
development
friendly
environment
that
exists
here
in
Belton,
which
includes
minimizing
our
bureaucracy
as
an
organization.
So.
H
I
am
asking
or
recommending
a
seven
and
a
half
percent
Cola
and
a
two
and
a
half
percent
step
for
a
potential
total
staff
raises
for
next
year
of
10
percent
and
we'll
talk
a
little
bit
about
that
15
increase
in
health
insurance
premiums,
because
that's
essentially
what
was
what
we
were
given
this
year
anyway
and
I,
don't
know
that
that's
going
to
slow
down
unless
we
get
some
better
numbers
moving
forward
sales
tax
revenues
for
this
year.
You
know
we've
averaged
about
12
percent.
H
Last
four
years,
I
I
was
a
little
bit
conservative
in
estimating
10
percent
growth
for
this
year.
I
actually
think
normally
I'd
be
even
more
conservative
than
that,
but
I
think
with
us
having
640
multi
multi-family
units
coming
online
and
and
the
I
know
that
the
leasing
on
those
is
going
really
really
well
from
what
I
I
know
from
on
course,
perspective.
They're
going
super
well
and
I've
heard
positive
things
about
the
center
301.
H
So
we're
going
to
see
some
some
growth
in
residential
in
the
number
of
people
that
live
here
and
so
I
wanted
to
take
that
into
a
consideration.
So
I
kept
a
pretty
decent,
a
pretty
aggressive
number
at
10,
but
I
think
that's
actually
fairly
conservative.
Give
giving
the
trends
that
we've
had
the
last
few
years
costs
obviously
continue
to
increase.
Everybody
in
here
has
has
felt
it.
You
can't
go
to
the
grocery
store.
You
can't
go
to.
You
know
a
hardware
store.
H
You
can't
go
anywhere
and
not
see
that
costs
have
gone
up
for
everything
at
all
at
all
levels,
and
so
that's
just
the
the
reality
of
the
world
we
live
in,
which
is
kind
of
goes
back
to
the
seven
half
and
two
and
a
half
percent
increases
for
for
staff
that
we're
asking
for
also
we're
estimating
that
we're
gonna
get
a
five
percent
increase
in
water
from
KC
MO
for
the
and
that
would
hit
us
on
the
water
fund.
H
As
far
as
an
expense
and
I
know
that
little
blue
sewer
district
has
passed
on
an
increase
of
5.9
percent
and
I
realize
that's
not
the
entirety
of
our
suit
of
all
of
our
residents,
but
we
do
have
a
portion
of
our
residents
that
are
in
that
Sewer
District.
So
we
do,
we
do
have
that
reality
facing
us.
Okay.
H
Now,
let's
look
at
what
our
24
overview
and-
and
here
I'm
not
gonna,
and
this
is
a
kind
of
a
style
thing
that
I
don't
know.
We
that
we've
100
worked
out
I'm,
not
going
to
go
line
by
line
here.
If
you
guys
want
a
line
by
line,
I
can
get,
we
can
get
you
some
spreadsheets.
We
can
do
meet
one-on-one
or
two
on
one
with
the
ward
I'll,
be
glad
to
dig
one
go
line
by
line
with
you
guys
I'm
just
going
to
hit
the
highlights
essentially
here
in
this
Workshop.
H
We
believe
about
31.5
million
dollars
that
includes
fund
balance
and
revenues,
expenditures,
25
and
a
half
million
dollars,
which
would
leave
a
cash
balance
of
5.9
million
dollars,
essentially,
which
is
about
a
25.24
fund
balance
which
can
our
city
Charter
requires
that
we
have
a
15
fund
balance
in
the
general
fund,
given
that
we
rely
so
heavily
on
sales
tax
as
a
revenue
Source,
it
is
going
to
be
my
recommendation
at
all
times
that
we
keep
a
higher
than
15
general
fund
balance
because
sales
tax
can
be
so
cyclical
and
so
volatile.
H
At
times.
Obviously,
we've
been
in
a
period
of
commercial
growth
and
even
some
residential
growth
recently,
and
so
that
we
haven't
seen
that
bear
out,
but
at
some
point
every
in
in
every
Community
you're
going
to
have
some
ups
and
downs
in
sales
tax
revenues,
and
since
we
rely
so
heavily
on
that
I
think
we
should.
It
would
behoove
us
to
have
a
consistently
High
higher
than
the
minimum
fund
balance
in
our
general
fund
to
ensure
that
we
can
weather
any
storms
that
would
were
to
come
through,
okay,
General
Capital,
816
000
in
resources.
H
This
does
not
include
capital
for
water
and
wastewater
or
even
Capital,
for
police
and
fire.
So.
H
E
H
E
H
H
Some
of
it
not
necessarily
it's
it's
like
I,
said
200.
000
of
that
is
the
comprehensive
plan.
I
kept
the
comprehensive
plan
in
there
because
I
think
that's
an
important
planning
document.
H
It's
going
to
have
some
data
for
us
that
and
and
help
us
understand
where
our
housing
is
going
and
what
we
want
to
do
as
a
community
and
how
we
want
to
grow
and
how
we
want
that
to
look,
and
so
there's
literally
119
000
of
little
things
that
in
the
capital
plan
and
I'd
be
glad
I
mean
at
some
point.
H
We
can
go
through
that
if
you'd
like
I,
mean
that's,
that's
paired
down,
though
quite
a
bit
from
what
it
has
been
in
the
past,
so
and
I'll
talk
a
little
bit
more
about
some
of
the
capital
expenditures,
my
expenditures
when
I
get
to
police
and
fire
and
whatnot.
So
it's
this
isn't.
This
is
just
the
overview
streets.
H
H
Assuming
that
we
get
the
five
percent
increase
from
KCMO,
which
I
believe
we
we're
likely
to
get,
then
we
have
15.6
million
dollars
in
expenditures
in
the
water
account
and
we're
only
going
to
have
about
12
and
a
half
million
dollars
in
revenues
in
the
water
account.
So
that's,
not
a
sustainable
model.
Long
term
just
want
you
to
understand
that
and
know
what
that
is,
and
then
there's
the
golf
fund,
which
is
which
is
fairly
consistent.
H
So
when
I
talk
about
general
fund
general
fund
revenues,
just
so
everybody
make
sure
everybody
knows
what
we're
doing
and
we're
speaking
the
same
language
general
fund
revenues
include
sale
are
done
with
sales
tax,
there's
a
small
portion,
that's
property
tax
and
that
that
property
tax
kind
of
stays
pretty
consistent
year
over
year
we
get
a
small
increase,
but
the
hand
at
least
the
Hancock
Amendment
restricts
how
much
we
can
go
up
in
the
property
tax,
so
sales
tax
is
where
we
get
the
most
the
majority
of
our
growth
utilities
and
franchise
fees
intergovernmental.
H
So
those
are
things
like
the
gemt
Grant
and
any
Mark
grants
that
we
might
get
any
other
grants
that
we
would
get
would
be
an
intergovernmental,
usually
service
fees
and
charges.
These
are
things
such
as
ambulance
fees.
We
offer
fire
protection
for
certain
certain
areas:
court,
fines,
this
or
SRO
partnership,
the
money
we
get
to
help
us
fund
that
is
included
in
service
fees
and
charges
and
then
overhead
allocations.
H
H
Our
just
to
give
you
an
idea
how
sales
taxes
are
going
and
how
revenues
have
been
going.
This
is
our
general
city
sales
tax,
our
22
actual,
was
4.68
million
dollars.
Our
23
projected
is
5.593.
In
fact,
our
23
actual
without
two
months
left
I
believe
was
about
4.8
ish,
a
million
dollars
so
seeing
some
strong
growth
there,
a
lot
of
that's
chewy,
so
just
just
be
aware
of
that,
and
then
fy24
we're
budgeting
for
5.9
million
dollars.
Okay,.
H
Capital
I
say
Capital:
this
is
general
fund
capital
and
then,
of
course,
it
also
includes
Public,
Safety
sales,
tax,
Capital,
going
essentially
from
4.2
million
dollars,
but
you
did
in
23
to
1.3
million
and
24.
H
The
comprehensive
plan
I
mentioned
is
200,
000
of
that
and
then
the
other
four
that
have
the
red,
asterisk
Animal,
Control,
HVAC
systems
for
PD
and
fire,
and
for
for
the
communications
area
at
PD,
an
ambulance
remount,
some,
the
two
police
SUVs
and
then
power
stretcher
and
load
system.
That's
that's
the
majority
of
that
money
that
that
we
have
still
in
the
capital
requests
that
are
not
supported
by
proprietary
funds.
H
General
fund
expenditures
and
here's
where
we're
going
to
go
a
little
bit
through
the
general
fine
and
go
through
Section
by
section
of
some
of
the
major
highlights
of
what's
going
on
right
now.
Services
and
supplies
are
steady
and
legislative
events.
Obviously
we
had
150th
celebration
in
2023
and
that
was
you
know.
We
had
a
line
item
budgeted
in
there
to
support
that.
That
number
comes
down
quite
a
bit
into
in
20
FY
2024.
H
Unless-
and
this
is
not
included
so
far-
but
unless
we
decided
that
we
wanted
to
allocate
some
money
to
help
support
the
Community
Days
reboot,
which
I
don't
know,
that's
actually
going
to
be
called
Community
days.
But
I.
Think
council
is
is
aware
that
the
Main,
Street
and
chamber
have
teamed
up
and
are
trying
to
capitalize
on
the
momentum
of
the
150th
celebration
and
do
an
event
downtown,
which
would
be
at
the
end
of
June,
beginning
of
July
and
I.
Think
the
city.
H
H
It's
up
to
you
guys,
but
I
I
would
recommend
we
put
a
little
money
in
there
if
we,
if,
if
we
think
that
that's
something
worth
supporting
year
over
year,
hpo
training
belt
and
Advantage
is
what
we
call
our
hpo.
It's
our
high
performing
organization,
we
sent
a
few
of
our
department
heads
to
training
this
this
year.
Just
recently,
they
actually
went
through
the
training
earlier
this
month.
It's
it's.
H
These
people
to
that
training
every
year
we
could
get
30
people
essentially
for
about
13,
000
bucks
and
so
I've
included
that
in
there
as
a
potential
line
item
as
well,
there's
a
the
normal
Y
Highway,
Marketplace
Tiff
transfer.
There
is
no
transfer
to
General
Capital
fund
from
legislature.
As
of
right
now
is
the
way
the
budget
sits.
I'm,
not
saying
we
couldn't
be
I'm,
just
telling
you
that's
how
it
sits
and
then
there's
the
regular
golf
fund
transfer
that
we
usually
have
in
legislative.
H
So
those
are
the
major
changes
from
year
over
year
that
you
can
expect
to
see
anybody
want
any
questions.
Any
of
that
anybody
want
to
talk
about
the
opportunity.
A
G
A
G
Not
defending
it,
but
even
though
I
voted
for
it,
but
I
was
questioning
your
very
first
slide
where
you
said
that
the
last
budget
was
designed
to
get
rid
of
all
the
rainy
day
and
everything,
but
yet
that
budget
had
a
15
carryover,
at
least
that's
what
it
showed
on
paper
and
how
Maybe
we
spent
more
than
that
I.
Don't
know
what
happened
such
that!
You
think
that
we
didn't
have
15
left
or
are
not
going
to
have
15
left
in
two
months.
H
H
For
this
year,
yes,
but
it
also
started
a
trend
of
spending
down
Reserve
balances,
to
where
the
the
revenues
did
not
match
the
expenditures,
and
so,
if
we
continued
that
Trend
based
on
the
23
fiscal
year
budget,
that
would
I
mean
that
would
and
of
course,
if
we'd
use,
if
we'd
spent
all
that
money
and
continued
that
Trend,
we
would
have
been
stuck
at
about
Break
Even
for
24..
Okay,
thank
you.
H
E
Absolutely
I
think
the
city
council
have
always
supported
something
in
these
events.
It
might
have
been
security,
trash
bathrooms
stuff,
like
that
I
mean
we
went
a
little
bit
above
and
beyond
last
year
being
about
it
was
the
mayor's
party,
so
I
mean
we
did
support
it
more,
but
still.
E
But
yeah
I
think
definitely
I
would
be
supportive
of
it.
Okay,.
G
I
just
had
a
question
that
well
historically,
bcpi
ran
Community
to
help
with
Community
days
after
the
base
left,
and
it
was
at
Marky
Park
most
recently
and
then
the
park
took
it
over
and
it
was
at
Memorial
Park
now
I
think
you
said
that
it's
moving
again
no.
H
Days
went
away,
the
parks
picked
up
their
own
event
called
I,
believe
Summerfest,
which
they
do
with
the
park,
and
it's
it's
kind
of
it's
a
separate
entity
from
what
Community
Days
used
to
be
it's
kind
of
in
its
place.
So
to
speak.
Okay-
and
this
would
not
I,
don't
I,
don't
believe
it
would
be
in
conjunction
with
Parks,
but
that
doesn't
mean
it
doesn't
have
to
be
I.
I,
don't
think
that's
been
100
decided
yet
I.
Just
think
that
that
this
is
a
downtown
event.
H
So
when
I
say
Community
Days,
that's
probably
a
misnomer,
because
it
doesn't
have
anything
to
do
with
Marky
Park
and
it
doesn't
have
it's
literally
an
event
that
would
take
place
downtown
with
a
name
to
be
decided,
that's
kind
of
modeled.
After
part
of
what
happened
at
the
150th
anniversary
celebration,
it's.
H
Main
Street
is
going
to
be
running
this
in
chamber
and
I
know
that
this,
the
folks
that
helped
plan
the
150th
would
be
involved
in
the
planning
of
this
event,
and
the
idea
is
to
hopefully
create
a
yearly
event,
an
annual
event
that
can
drive
traffic
downtown
and
have
success
like
the
150th
had
to
bring
people
into
our
community.
So.
D
H
There's
there's
a
lot
there:
it's
I
I,
don't
want
to
I,
don't
think
we
should
get
into
that,
because
I
mean
that's
a
that's
a
conversation
between
the
the
event
planners
and
Parks
I.
Think
that
that
we
should
just
focus
on
what
what
I
mean
I
I
believe
we
should
support.
It.
I
think
that
I
I
have
already
pledged
that
our
that
we
would
support
it
from
and
kind
at
least
from
with.
H
You
know
the
Personnel
that
are
needed
to
help
what
you
know
like
fire
and
PD
and
Public
Works
to
ensure
that
we
can
pull
it
off
I'm,
guessing
they're,
going
to
ask
for
a
financial
commitment
as
well
and
I
think
that
we
should
right
now,
I,
don't
know
that
we
should
give
them
the
same
amount
we
gave
for
150th,
because
this
is
a
different
type
of
Celebration,
but
I
think
we
should
consider
an
amount
because
there's
going
to
be
costs
there
I
don't
know
20
30
000,
maybe
something
in
there.
F
K
I'll
just
say
generally
support
the
idea
of
community
programming
and
supporting
that
how
we
can
I
feel
like
we've
kind
of
already
gotten
in
the
weeds
a
little
bit
on
this
and
at
the
risk
of
getting
further
in
the
weeds
I
just
want
to
call
to
attention
that
a
lot
of
this
programming
and
community
events
are
often
planned
over
holiday
weekends
and
that's
a
trend.
I
would
like
to
see
kind
of
change
back
because
that
interferes
with
staff
Park
staff
everybody's
time
to
celebrate
with
their
own
folks.
So
we
are
in
the
Weeds
on
this.
K
H
L
And
everyone
I
heard
from
after
the
150th
begged
me
for
another.
Every
year,
Community
Days
type
situation
like
we
did
with
150th.
That
is
the
first
thing
out
of
everyone's
mouth.
As
soon
as
we
had
that
celebration,
I
would
absolutely
support
letting
this
group
do
this
and
giving
them
a
donation
to
be
able
to
make
the
event
amazing
every
year
for
our
citizens.
D
E
Well,
I
talked
to
some
of
the
people
involved
in
this
and
they're.
Not
they
liked
it
to
be
similar
to
that.
But
it's
not
going
to
be
five
days.
It's
not
going
to
be
as
big
as
they
like
to
have
some
big
events
or
a
big
acts
that
come
and
draw
people
downtown,
don't
be
wrong,
but
it's
probably
not
going
to
be
the
same
as
150.
H
H
All
right,
I
think
I've
got
some
support
here,
so
I
think
I'll
I'll,
real
good
I'll,
add
a
little
bit
of
money
into
the
into
that
line.
Items
to
help
support
that
I
know
that
that
the
folks
planning
that
would
rest
a
little
easier.
Knowing
that
we've
got
a
little
bit
of
that
we're
willing
to
support
that
all
right.
Anything
else,
legislative
before
I,
move
forward.
H
Fire
in
the
fire
budget,
we
we've
budget
to
add
three
firefighters,
slash
paramedics
to
the
budget,
that
was
an
Ask
made
by
the
fire
department
or
by
the
fire
chief
increased
training
budget
a
little
bit
vehicle
maintenance
is
obviously
up
slightly
and
you
can
understand
why
that
is
then
and
contractual
is,
is
up
a
little
bit
as
well
so
you're
going
to
see
that
contractuals
up
almost
across
the
board,
everybody
that
we
contract
with
is
obviously
seeing
the
increase
in
their
expenses
and
so
they're
passing
along
to
us
almost
for
every
Department.
H
E
Question
I
guess:
Chief
Sapp
I
know.
Over
the
last
couple
years
we've
been
adding
some
firefighters
and
I
think
one
of
our
goals
was
to
when
we're
fully
staffed.
Now
so
now,
vacations
and
all
that
would
adding
three
people
give
us
the
availability
to
have
four
amateurs
going
at
one
time.
If
everybody's
there.
M
Well,
currently,
if
everybody's
here
we
could
run
four,
the
goal
is
to
try
to
run
a
third
ambulance
100
of
the
time,
even
with
the
additions
that
we
made
with
the
the
fluctuations
and
Staffing
we've
had
this
year
and
the
need
for
paramedics.
We've
probably
still
only
ran
the
third
ambulance
about
20
of
the
time.
Okay,
so
hopefully
adding
this
other
one.
M
What
we're
gearing
ourselves
toward
is
adding
one
to
two
more
so
that
we
can
increase
our
minimum
Staffing,
because
right
now,
if
we
go
to
minimum
Staffing,
it
only
allows
for
two
ambulances,
but
in
order
to
increase
that,
we
have
to
have
enough
room
to
allow
people
time
off
for
for
vacations
and
trainings
and
different
things
like
that.
E
H
All
right
police
program,
increased
127,
127,
000
and
I
believe
that
that
is
Fallout
from
the
malware
attack
that
we
had
just
ensuring
that
we
have
everything
in
place
to
ensure
that
that
doesn't
happen
again.
H
Increased
training
budget
by
about
25
000
vehicle
maintenance,
obviously
is
up
slightly
CBA
is
not
done
yet,
but
it's
it's
we're
close
and
rest
for
this
and
we're
they're
asking
we're
trying
to
settle
on
the
same
I
think
that
what
I've
asked
for
the
rest
of
Staff
here,
which
is
seven
and
a
half
percent
Cola
two
and
a
half
percent
step,
there's
been
an
extra
Animal,
Control
part-time
position
added
to
the
budget.
H
Obviously,
there's
been
a
lot
of
of
public
feedback
on
that
front
and
then
Emergency
Management
minor
equipment
up
about
eleven
thousand
dollars.
Yes,
councilman
White.
N
N
H
N
No,
we
don't
if
we
had
purchased
an
animal
during
this
last
period,
that
animal
would
have
been
ineffective
with
the
new
marijuana
laws
and
so
we're
waiting
for
a
generation
of
dogs
to
be
born
that
are
not
exposed
to
marijuana,
because,
if
they're
exposed
to
marijuana
and
they
hit
on
cocaine,
the
law
is
throwing
those
cases
out,
and
so
that's
one
consideration
and
why
we
did
not
buy
a
canine.
The
other
one
is
is
that
we
are
nine
officers
down.
N
E
So
I
guess
I'm
going
to
ask
you
a
dumb
question:
I
noticed
that
Georgia
allows
cops
to
be
19
years
of
old
19
years
of
age.
I
guess
I
never
knew
that
the
state
of
Missouri
requires
them
to
be
21
before
they're
sworn
in.
Yes,.
N
They
can
start
the
academy
at
20,
but
by
graduation
they
have
to
be
21.
there's
also
some
agencies
across
the
United
States
Utah
considered
making
it
a
people
that
are
in
the
country
and
undocumented.
It
would
be
a
pathway
to
citizenship,
and
so
there's
very
there's
a
lot
of
different
ways
that
other
states
are
trying
to
recruit
police
officers,
but
where
it's
down
across
the
nation.
E
N
That
is
the
success
of
getting
police
officers.
Is
that
is
getting
jailers
because
they
can
be
18
and
we
can
have
them
for
a
period
of
time
they
can
find
out
about
the
law
enforcement.
We
get
to
see
them
work,
there's
many
examples
of
those
officers,
that
of
those
jailers
becoming
officers,
and
we
are
tied
to
the
Cass
career
center.
For
that
and
part
of
our
recruiting
efforts
is
going
to
be
trying
to
tap
into
those
local
resources
like
that.
L
N
I
think
our
approach
was
to
get
the
part-time
expand
our
hours,
especially
on
the
weekend,
but
also
explore
the
possibility
of
turning
in
into
a
full-time
position
at
sometime
in
the
near
future,
and
so
we
wanted
to
test
that.
The
problem
is,
is
you
know
with
these?
The
adjustments
and
salary
I
have
no
doubt
that
we'll
have
some
interest
in
regards
to
that
position,
because
it
pays
a
lot
less
than
a
police
officer.
H
H
This
next
slide,
I
just
wanted
to
give
you
guys
for
your
reference,
the
public
safety
sales
tax,
fy24
we've
got
estimated
Revenue
3.263
million
dollars
and
allocate
we're
allocating
about
3.131
and
you're,
going
to
find
that
the
public
safety
sales
tax
numbers,
don't
100
correspond
with
the
general
use
sales
tax
because
they
don't
they're
all
they're.
We
don't
essentially
take
incentives
off
of
the
public
safety
sales
tax,
Monies,
so
Clerk
and
Senior
Center
I
put
these
together
because
they're,
both
under
the
same
individual
department,
head
Clerk's
budget,
is,
is
pretty
minimal.
H
Adding
a
little
bit
for
contractual
I
mentioned
that
all
of
our
contractual
folks
are
passing
along
increased
expenses,
also
adding
some
more
more
trading
budget.
In
there
a
couple
thousand
dollars,
I
thought
that
was
a
reasonable
ask:
I'm
I'm,
the
type
of
city
manager,
that's
going
to
generally
recommend
is
more
training
rather
than
less.
To
be
perfectly
honest.
I
want
us
to
invest
in
our
in
our
staff
to
make
sure
that
the
best
staff
available.
E
One
of
the
things
talking
to
the
lady
that
runs
Rand
whatever
that
terminology
is
I,
think
her
budget,
that
we
give
her
for
supplies
and
all
kinds
of
stuff
is
very
low
and
I'm
trying
to
figure
out
how
we
can
raise
that
I
mean
and
Andrew
I
know
you
run.
That
is
so.
You
get
like
2
500
a
year
for
supplies.
No.
E
B
E
H
The
2500
is
not
100,
accurate
I
believe
we
give
the
the
senior
center
about
60
000
at
a
general
fund
money
and,
above
and
beyond
what
the
mark,
what
Mark
gives
them
so
forever
for
all
all
types
of
expenses,
so
there
I
mean
there's
more
money
than
the
2500,
but
if,
if
we
wanted
to
give
them
an
extra
few
thousand
dollars
for
programming
for
for
you
know
for
supplies
or
something
for
for
that,
they
could
do
their
own
programming.
H
H
K
C
H
H
H
We've
we're
asking
for
a
part-time
employee
there,
because
right
now
we
have
one
full-time
employee,
we
don't
and
when
that
full-time
employee
is
for
one
for
first
of
all,
that
full-time
employee
is
spending
the
majority
of
their
time
busy,
with
with
the
events
which
is
good,
but
they
could
definitely
use
some
help
with
with
a
lot
of
the
events
and
a
lot
of
the
programming
that
they
do
from
day
to
day
and
when
they're
out
of
town.
That
creates
a
huge
hardship
on
on
staff
to
keep
that
thing.
H
E
H
And
that
volunteers
thing
is
kind
of
funky,
because
I
mean
that's
not
guaranteed
for
us
to
always
have
and
I
think
that
there's
some
some
stipulations
with
some
of
those
volunteer
positions
that
forced
them
to
essentially
leave
at
a
certain
point
after
volunteering.
For
so
long.
H
So
if
you
guys
are
okay
with
that,
we'll
move
on
Administration
and
I'm
I
really
want
to
hear
your
feedback
on
this
because
there's
some
some
different
things
in
here
than
what
we've
done
in
the
past.
Obviously
adding
the
director
level
salary.
It
was
budget
for
a
professional.
H
For
last
year
we
went
ahead
and
bumped
that
up
to
a
director
position,
we
hired
a
director
she's
doing
outstanding
work,
I,
I'm,
I,
think
everybody
and
the
staff
that's
worked
with
her
I've
heard
nothing
about
rave
reviews
about
having
an
HR
department
now
and
I
think
it's
largely
a
reflection
on
the
director,
but
it
also
points
to
the
the
need
that
we
had
before
we
had
this
department
I
I'm,
proposing
that
we
potentially
had
a
second
staff
member
there's
actually
that
much
there
and
if
I'll
be
glad
to
go
through
this
with
each
of
you,
and
we
can
talk
about
all
the
things
that
HR
does
or
would
do
with
an
extra
staff
person.
H
Those
are
things
that
they
that
they
would
not
do
without
50
000
for
programs
and
compliance
assurance
and
culture
building
essentially
month
to
month
to
have
things
that
our
staff
can
do
or
participate
in
or
things
you
know,
there's
lots
of
things
I
would
fit
into
this
as
well.
H
So
we're
trying
to
actually
make
this
a
department
I'm
not
going
to
keep
coming
to
you
every
year
and
saying
we
need
to
add
more
staff
to
HR
I
think
that
that
too
is
probably
as
much
as
we
would
need
for
for
the
for
quite
a
while,
unless
we
grew
quite
a
bit
but
I,
just
I
think
a
second
person
would
be
would
be
a
prudent
move
for
us
to
make,
but
again
I'm
open
to
that
discussion.
H
Person
right
so
I
I
think
we
at
one
point:
we
had
an
assistant
city
manager
who
handled
HR,
so
I
think
that
was
kind
of
one
of
those
things
that
was
is
one
of
their
deals,
but
now,
in
general,
I
I
put
assistant
city
manager
with
a
question
mark
I
did
not
budget
for
an
assistant
manager
in
this
budget
I'm
not
asking
for
a
standalone
assistant
city
manager,
I'm
asking
if
you
guys
think
it'd
be
prudent
for
us
to
potentially
add
that
as
a
responsibility
to
someone
who's,
a
department
had
maybe
and
add
a
little
bit
of
salary
there,
I
I'm,
not
I,
don't
think
it's
a
dire
need
yet,
but
at
some
point
it
will
be.
H
We've
got
a
lot
of
things
rolling.
A
lot
of
the
programs
that
were
that
we're
trying
to
implement
are
going.
The
HR
is
helping
with
a
lot
of
that.
So
it's
not
like,
like
I,
said,
not
a
dire
need,
but
at
some
point
it
would
be.
It
will
increase
our
capacity
to
have
someone
else
who
can
manage
projects
essentially
that
are
going
throughout
the
community.
So.
F
So
you
are
right:
Joe
in
the
past,
the
assistant
study
manager
did
the
HR
duties
yeah,
whatever
that
was
at
the.
H
Time
but
sure,
but,
like
I,
said
I'm
not
asking
for
a
standalone
right
at
this
point.
It'd
be
it'd,
be
someone
who's,
probably
already
on
staff
who
we
might
bump
up
and
and
they
would
then
rely
on
their
staff
to
pick
up
some
of
their
slack
in
the
leadership
side.
They'd
still
oversee
their
department,
but
they
pick
up
that.
You
know
they'd
kind
of
rolled
downhill
a
little
bit,
but
they'd
also
pick
up
some
responsibilities.
That
would
be
administrative,
just
a
thought:
part-time
custodian
maintenance.
H
When
I
got
here,
we
were
struggling
with
our
and
we're
still
struggling
to
be
perfectly
Frank.
With
our
upkeep
of
the
two
buildings
City
Hall
and
City
Hall
Annex,
specifically
I
know.
Public
works
also
hire
someone
to
go
clean
and
I
know
all
the
other
facilities
have
their
own
that
they
that
they
handle
we're.
It's
gonna,
it's
I
ended
up
hiring
a
service
that
comes
in
twice
a
week
just
to
clean
our
bathrooms,
take
out
some
trash
and
do
some
very
basic
cleaning.
H
It's
not
really
keeping
up
with
with
what's
necessary
or
needed,
and
I
think
that
our
staff
notices
that
and
it's
cost,
and
it's
going
to
cost
us
about
26
000
next
year
to
do
that.
If
we
keep
it
at
that
pace
about
26
000.,
that's
it
twice
a
week
for
90
minutes
a
day
plus
I
think
Public
Works.
Does
it
once
a
week
for
about
60
minutes
and
so,
and
that
was
for
the
cheapest
option
available
just
to
let
you
know
we
put
it
out
for
a
bid.
H
We
did
an
actual
RFP
put
it
out
for
bid
for
these
services.
That
was
the
very
cheapest
option
and
I
think
we're
I,
wouldn't
say
we're
ecstatic
about
the
way
our
it's
being
up,
captured,
I,
don't
necessarily
blame
the
company
I!
Think
that
we're
only
given
a
certain
amount
of
time
and
they're
doing
what
they
can
in
that
amount
of
time.
H
If
we
hired
a
part-time
custodian
maintenance
person,
it'd
probably
be
less
than
twenty
thousand
bucks
and
they
could
potentially
handle
City
Hall
City,
Hall,
Annex
and
Public
Works
they'd
be
available
for
20
hours
worth
of
work.
That
would
include
some
basic
maintenance
of
things
and
I
think
that
would
increase
the
the
cleanliness
in
our
buildings
and
just
I
think
that
our
staff
would
very
much
welcome
something
like
that.
H
Just
so
that's
why
I
have
it
in
there
and
I've
already
found
a
way
to
pay
for
it,
since
we're
already
paying
someone
for
26
000
on
it
and
then
the
other.
The
other
conceptual
thing
that
I'm
that
I've
bringing
to
you
guys
is
right.
Now
we
have
a
person
who's
in
Economic
Development
and
who
handles
Communications
and
I.
Think
that's.
It
was
just
originally
was
created
to
handle
both
kind
of
to
split.
It.
H
I
think
the
amount
of
communications
that
we
have
is
kind
of
taken
over
the
majority
of
that
position
and
there's
a
lot
more
Communications
I
think
we
should
be
having,
as
a
city,
to
be
perfectly
Frank,
to
increase
our
transparency
with
the
public
to
make
sure
that
they
know
exactly
what's
going
on
with
the
city,
I
think
it'd
be
that
I've
seen
a
lot
of
cities
that
are
our
size
and
smaller
have
a
full
team
of
communications.
H
Folks,
two
three
people,
not
necessarily
here
but
in
throughout
the
country
and
I
I-
think
one
person
would
be-
would
behoove
us
to
go
ahead
and
increase
our
our
Communications
with
the
public
and
again,
hopefully
we
can
increase
our
transparency
there.
We
can
show
them
what
we're
doing
what
services
we
provide
where
the
tax
dollars
are
going
and
then
that
then
Economic
Development
could
get
that
person
back.
They
would
they
would
not
be
a
Communications
person
anymore
and
and
essentially
would
assist
us
in
in
more
Recruitment
and
economic
development.
Yes,
awesome.
K
Have
we
concluded
our
contract
with
Sturgis
word?
Yes,
we
no
longer
have
that
contract.
I
was
like
45
000
right.
Yes,.
H
H
We've
taken
some
all
those
those
well
we've
taken
all
those
Communications
things
in
in-house,
essentially
without
an
added
person
partially,
because
I
I
have
a
background
in
communication,
so
I
thought
well.
If
emergency
communications
need
to
come
up
I,
we
work
I,
think
we'll
be
covered
fine,
but
as
far
as
day-to-day
Communications
I
think
that
there's
a
lot
more,
we
can
do
there.
H
E
Get
that
all
the
time
people
like
we
put
everything
on
Facebook,
how
we
I
mean
what
other
people
aren't
on
Facebook
I
would
say:
well,
you
can
sign
up
for
an
email
right,
I
said
if
something's
critical,
we
put
it
in
a
mailer
for
with
our
water
bill.
That
said,
we
try
to
communicate
three
or
four
different
ways.
I
can't
force
you
to
go
sign
up
for
all
this
stuff,
I'm.
H
Not
yeah
and
I'm,
not
I,
can't
call
you
either
so
I
think
we're
trying
and
we're
doing
I
don't
think
we're
doing
a
poor
job
necessarily
I.
Think
that
just
I'm
just
trying
to
I
think
that
if
we
improve
this
and
actually
make
it
a
strength
of
our
organization
that
the
public
would
benefit
from
that
and.
H
Cool
all
right
now,
let's
move
on
planning
inspection
is
our
our
budgets.
There
are
pretty
obviously
you're
seeing
an
increase
in
in
contractual,
like
I
mentioned,
on
the
inspection
side,
we're
actually
getting
a
savings
in
contractual
under
planning,
because
we
were
Contracting
a
lot
of
those
Services
out
when
we
didn't
have
a
full
staff.
Now
we
have
our
full
staff.
We
no
longer
need
to
go
out
and
contract
for
some
of
those
services,
so
that's
actually
going
to
benefit
us
on
this
side.
H
E
Sir
one
of
the
things
we
talked
about
earlier
this
year
and
I
don't
know
if
Matt
ever
got
thrown
into
this
I'll
bring
it
up
during
budget
we
had
talked
about
adding,
maybe
somebody
or
adding
responsibility
onto
someone.
That's
already
there
about
actually
taking
the
inspections
instead
of
it
going
to
a
recording
one
of
the
things
that
I've
heard
from
multiple
people.
Is
you
call
in,
and
you
never
know
what's
going
on.
E
So
if
you
don't
have
people
that
deal
with
belting
all
the
time
and
I
go
and
I
I
guess
our
hope
is
that
we
build
a
lot
more
in
the
near
future
than
so.
We
need
that
person,
but
that's
just
some
of
the
comments
come
back.
I
lived
it
also
myself,
it's
like
you
call
in,
and
then
you
just
feel
like
you're
in
this
black
hole
and
then
yeah.
No
one
ever
calls
you
you
don't
know
what
to
do
and
you're
like
going.
E
Okay,
so
I
just
think
if
you
had
someone
that
you
can
actually
communicate
with.
That
would
be
something
I
would
look
into
if
we
can
do
that.
That's.
E
H
I
I
think
we
should
absolutely
be
willing
to
look
at
that.
The
way
we're
handling
that
and
and
if
it
involves
more
staff,
then
then
maybe
we
can.
We
can
look
into
that
or
if
it's
just
a
or
an
operational
change
that
we
need
to
make
I'm
I
mentioned
in
there.
That
earlier
on
in
this
presentation
that
you
know
cutting
down
on
the
bureaucracy
is,
is
an
important
thing
for
for
our
development
future
and
so
that
I
think
that's
one
of
those
things.
E
As
well,
I
think
one
of
the
things-
and
none
of
you
guys
are
here
so
I
mean
it's
not
you.
It's
just
Builders
are
saying:
Belton
wasn't
friendly
it's
too
difficult
to
deal
business
with
Belton
and
having
a
friendly
voice
answered
her
phone.
Like
hey
inspections,
oh
I
need
to
get
a
you
know
an
inspection
done
and
like
okay,
we
can
plug
in
today.
At
you
know
three
o'clock.
Okay,
thank
you.
Absolutely.
H
I
think
we've
talked
offline
and
something
that
that
we
can
make
a
priority
early
this
year
is,
is
bringing
in
some
Builders
and
developers
from
the
area
and
having
a
bit
of
like
a
you
know,
just
cut
them
together.
What
what
are
our
issues
that
you've
that
you've
noticed
working
with
us
in
the
past?
What
can
we
work
on?
What
what?
What
have
you
seen
other
cities
do
that
they
do
well,
that
you'd
like
to
see
us
do
what?
H
E
E
H
Think
part
of
it
is
is
somewhat
of
a
a
reputation
thing,
for
whatever
reason,
I
might
even
pay
some
blame
anywhere,
but.
E
H
H
H
I
want
to
list
some
departments
that
just
that
have
very
few
changes,
essentially
they're
you're
just
going
to
see
they're
the
only
changes
there
are,
the
you
know,
salaries
and
benefits
assumptions
that
we
have
pushed
through.
That's
Finance,
I.T,
City,
attorney,
Municipal
Court,
so
I
mean
I'm
not
going
to
go
into
depth
on
those
because
they're
essentially
same
year
over
year,
other
than
than
what
those
increases
would
be
Public
Works,
the
Maine
Public
Works
budget.
You
know
the
big
difference
is
salaries
and
benefits
again
in
the
garage
you're
going
to
see
some
increases.
H
If
you
look
at
the
line
items
I
realize
you
guys,
don't
have
all
the
line
items
in
front
of
you
and
that's
probably
a
little
frustrating
looking
at
this
from
this
perspective,
but
Parts
and
Equipment
costs
are
going
up.
So
that's
that's
one
area
that
we're
going
to
increase
because
we
have
to
to
make
sure
our
every
everything's
being
taken
care
of
in
the
garage
for
our
Fleet.
E
We
talk
about
public
works
and
I.
Don't
think
they
have
a
lot
of
projects
going
on
over
the
next
three
years
and
we
know
that
between
the
streets,
the
storm,
water
and
and
now
the
water
line
is
being
replaced
and
do
we
I
mean
you
don't
have
an
assistant,
we
always
used
to
have
an
assistant,
Public,
Works,
director
and
I.
Don't
think
we
have
one
anymore.
E
H
I
yeah,
it's
a
possibility.
I
mean
for
us
to
consider
I
think
that
I
think
that
Greg
has
done
a
great
job
in
the
staff
we
have.
There
has
done
a
great
job
of
ensuring.
E
I'm
not
saying
it,
they
haven't
I'm,
just
saying
that
when
the
water
lines
start
being
replaced
when
we're
still
doing
storm
water
and
then
he
still
wants
to
go
out
and
get
another
bond
issue
done
for
more
streets
after
this
one's
done
so
I
mean
you
could
have
all
three
of
those
things
running
at
the
same
time
and
I
just
I
think
we
might
need
to
look
at
maybe
not
this
budget
cycle,
but
the
next
budget
cycle.
Looking
for
that
assistant,
Public
Works
director
to
help
out
with
some
of
that
load,
yep.
E
H
I
think
they're
working
I
think
part
of
the
plan
that
they've
got
in.
There
is
some
internal
development
of
folks
to
ensure
that
we
have
that
leadership
at
all
levels
to
ensure
that
our
projects
are
getting
done
well
in
an
organized
fashion.
Not
that
I'm
saying
we
don't
need
an
assistant
at
some
point,
but
that's
how
they're.
E
H
Well,
like
I,
mean
I
and
we'll
get
to
this
I'm
not
going
to
give
this
away
at
that.
I
don't
want
to
you
know:
I,
don't
want
to
give
away
the
the
ending
to
this
essentially,
but
I
do
want
to
look
at
how
we're
budgeting
and
how
we
have
things
structured
in
general
and
that's
part
of
the
conversation
as
we
get
toward
the
end.
H
H
Non-General
fund
budget,
the
major
non-general
fund
budgets,
we're
talking
streets,
water,
Wastewater,
Golf
and
economic
development,
we'll
start
with
economic
development,
which
is
essentially
you
know,
part
of
that
is
the
hotel
motel
tax.
Those
revenues
have
been
steady.
They
haven't
really
been
growing
very
much.
They
also
haven't
gone
the
other
direction,
so
they're
they're,
it's
been
pretty
consistent
to
be
perfectly
Frank.
H
Obviously,
one
of
the
reasons
we
started.
A
tourism
council
is
because
we'd
like
to
try
to
find
ways
to
help
that
get
a
get
a
Kickstart
right
and
get
a
boost,
and
so
other
than
salary
benefits.
There's
one
major
expense
difference
year
over
year
and
that's
in
contractual
and
that
and
it's
a
it's
bigger
than
a
normal
increase
in
contractual
because
we're
asking
because
we
would
like
to
add
a
software
called
Placer,
AI
I,
know
and
we'll
bring
this
to
you
again.
H
As
far
as
people
going
in
and
out
based
on
their
cell
phones.
And
so
it's
pretty
impressive
technology
and
it's
kind
of
scary
yeah.
But
it's
also,
it
could
be
a
very
powerful
tool
when
it
comes
to
recruitment,
because
we'll
know
how
many
people
are
going
where
for
what?
Essentially
so
streets
budgeting
for
a
couple,
major
promotions
and
salaries.
And
it's
funny
that
you're
that
you
talked
about
councilmember
Clark,
the
whole
Public
Works
issue.
H
As
far
as
leadership
is
concerned,
I
know
that
that
Greg
is,
is
interested
in
training
and
and
potentially
promoting
down
the
line.
Some
some
folks
in
public
works
and
that's
the
and
they've
he
split
that
up
in
streets,
Water
and
Wastewater,
essentially
to
try
and
get
some
of
those
salaries
into
higher
for
higher
positions,
essentially,
which
would
kind
of
accomplish
the
what
you're
looking
for
is,
which
is
increased
capacity
at
the
administrative
leadership
level
for
us
to
take
on
the
projects
we
need
to
take
on
and
then
contractual
going
up,
86
000.
H
Got
some
water
pendants
go
ahead,
Greg.
P
You
know
change
it
from
one
level
to
the
next
level
up,
because
you
know
in
the
back
of
the
budget
book,
it
lists
exactly
how
many
people
in
every
level
I
can
have
so
some
of
it
is
switching
how
many
in
a
level
I
can
have
and
increasing
the
number.
So
I
can
promote
some
people
up
and
have
additional
administrative
people
and
reward
the
people
for
for
their
hard
work,
getting
degrees
getting
licenses,
and
so
we
can
have
retention
of
our
employees.
Okay,.
E
I,
just
kind
of
when
I
see
that
we're
going
to
do
major
promotions,
I'm
thinking
of
like
I,
know
you
never
kind
of
really
replaced
Don's
position.
It
got
absorbed
into
another
person's
job,
but
yeah
I,
just
I
thought
we
had
someone
running
a
sewer
plant.
That
I
would
call
the
director
of
the
sewer
plant
but
I,
don't
know
what.
H
Water
we've
got
again
the
same
thing
that
split
up
that
I
was
just
talking
about
with
streets
for
the
for
the
promotions
and
Public
Works
Pump
Station
maintenance
is
going
up,
so
we've
got
that
going
up.
Seventy
five
thousand
dollars.
That's
that's
some
necessary
maintenance
on
our
pump
stations.
Contractual
again
you're
going
to
see
in
these
two
in
the
capital
outlay
for
water
and
wastewater
we've
got
Central
Square
upgrade
in
the
past.
H
You
guys
had
had
approved
a
contract
with
Tyler
Technologies
to
do
an
encode
upgrade
essentially
of
our
of
all
the
softwares
and
the
management
softwares,
and
it's
largely
on
the
financial
side,
but
it
also
branches
out
to
the
other
areas
of
our
organization
and
we
are
go,
and
this
will
be
something
we'll
talk
about
during
executive
session,
because
there's
some
contractual
legal
stuff
we
need
to.
We
need
to
consider
on
this,
but
I
don't
want
to
give
it
away,
but
that's
what
that's
sitting
in
there.
H
H
Waste
water
again
same
thing,
with
the
salaries
contractual
up,
52
Greg's
added,
600
thousand
dollars
to
capital
outlay
for
the
ini
program
which
which
is
sorely
needed,
I
think
he
would
tell
you
we
need
to
do
some
serious
ini
work
to
ensure
that
our
system's
not
not
leaking
too
much
wastewater
treatment
plan
improvements,
1.25
million
dollars
in
capital
outlay,
Central
Square
again-
is
in
there
and
then
the
emergency
generator
which,
which
was
originally
budgeted
for
23-
that
money's
not
gone
anywhere.
So
we
just
pushed
it
forward
to
24..
H
H
Moving
on
to
golf
revenues
continue
to
be
pretty
strong,
we're
talking
about
1.2
million
dollars
and
is
what
we're
projecting
for
fiscal
year
23.
Actually
it's
already
over
1.2
million
dollars
for
fiscal
23.
But
if
you
recall
our
since
our
our
year
starts
in
April,
we
don't
anticipate
a
heck
of
a
lot
more
Revenue
in
golf
between
now
and
the
end
of
March.
H
Just
because
a
lot
of
there
aren't
that
many
golfers
going
out
I'm,
not
saying
there
aren't
any,
but
there
aren't
that
many
going
out
from
February
and
when
it's
really
cold
food
and
beverage
costs
going
up.
Obviously
that
makes
sense
merchandise
costs
going
up.
That
makes
sense,
also
accounting
for
that
in
the
revenue
side
too.
So
it's
not
just
the
expense.
H
But
if
you
know,
if
you
looked
at
the
line
items
you'll
notice,
those
are
higher
and
then
he's
also
got
a
capital
project
in
there
for
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
for
asphalt,
repaving
around
the
clubhouse,
it
may
not
use
the
entire
hundred
thousand
dollars
hasn't.
He
hasn't
officially
planned
that
out
yet
and
that'll
be
again
contingent
on
unavailable
money,
but
that's
what's
in
there
right
now.
In
the
budget.
Q
It's
coming,
it'll
it'll
be
spring.
It's
you
know.
Obviously
the
asphalt
plants
are
are
pretty
well
shut
down
right
now
so,
but
that
is
still
slated
so
whether
that
money
gets
carried
over.
But
it's
already
budgeted
in
the
FY
23
budget.
All.
B
H
Parks
and
Rec-
and
this
is
going
to
be
short
and
sweet
and
for
obvious
reasons,
I'm
just
going
to
give
you
a
list
of
the
X
of
the
of
the
line
items
of
the
lines,
Parks
revenues,
we've
got
taxes
and
other
revenues.
They
have
inner
fund
transfers,
the
Aquatic
Center
outdoor
water
park,
High,
blue
and
special
events.
That's
how
they
generate
their
revenues
and
those
are
the
amounts
that
they're
budgeting
for
2024.
H
And
then
the
next
slide
is
is
the
opposite
side.
The
expenses
as
the
administration,
maintenance,
water
park,
recreation,
High,
blue
Aquatic,
Center
and
special
events
and
I'm
definitely
not
prepared
to
go
through
that
one-on-one,
but
I
know
our
Parks
director
is
here
in
case.
You
have
any
questions
on
any
of.
E
Those
well,
this
is
a
good
time
to
talk
to
the
park
director
right
because
you
know,
we've
had
some
issues
in
the
last
year
and
people
asked
me
about
water
and
making
sure
the
pool
is
going
to
be
open
and
I.
Guess
my
question
to
you
guys:
are
you
guys
fully
staffed,
as
and
for
the
water
areas
for
The
Aquatic
Center
indoors,
currently
and
and
the
outdoor.
O
O
Lifeguard
shortages
are
a
national
crisis
in
our
business,
we've
got,
we've
already
been,
we've
been
told
by
at
least
three
or
four
of
our
managers
that
they'll
be
leaving
during
the
outdoor
season
to
go
work
for
the
contract
and
service
that
we
just
terminated
for
18
an
hour
still
trying
to
figure
out
what
pools
those
are,
but
our
lifeguards,
obviously,
for
those
of
you
who
remember
they
face
some
pretty
tough
environmental
situations
last
year
and
we
just
had
another
pretty
pretty
serious
incident
on
Saturday.
O
So
it's
it's
definitely
a
challenge,
we're
doing
pretty
good
right
now
to
have
40..
We
started
with
25
and
we
pretty
much
have
been
putting
five
through
a
training
course
pretty
much
every
weekend
so
and
I
know
there's
another
one
coming
up
so
I
guess
all
I
can
tell
you
is:
is
we're
staffed
right?
Now
we
have
a
plan
in
place,
a
goal
of
having
60.
E
I
you
did,
and
that's
one
of
those
things
that
people
ask
about
is
making
sure,
because
what
happened
last
year,
not
just
I
mean
the
outdoor
is
a
big
thing,
but
you
know
I,
of
course,
I
go
back
all
my
friends
were
lifeguards
growing
up
I'm,
not
a
big
water
guy,
so
I
didn't
care
about
that.
But
how
do
we
get
high
school
kids
from
our
community
to
take
on
some
of
these
roles
in
the
summer
time?
O
You
know:
we've
we're
competing
against
a
lot
of
business
infrastructure
in
town,
that's
paying
these
kids
16
to
18
an
hour
and-
and
if
you
remember
you
know
covet,
was
a
huge,
had
a
huge
impact
on
our
revenues
and
we're
still
trying
to
bounce
back
from
it
about
three
quarters
of
a
million
dollars.
We
were
hit
in
revenues.
O
O
I
wouldn't
say
it's
a
turbulent
situation
for
us
right
now,
but
you
just
you
just
never
know,
and
just
just
kind
of
a
sidebar
I
will
share
with
with
Joe
who
can
share
with
you
all
some
and
I
we've
talked
I've
talked
personally
with
Allison,
as
our
liaison
that
we've
made
some
very,
very
significant
changes
to
our
policies
at
the
outdoor
water
park
to
try
and
curb
some
of
the
issues
that
we
that
we've
had
out
there,
mainly
the
the
minimum
age
that
a
child
can
just
be
dropped
off.
O
And
the
other
thing
that
the
challenge
is
these
high
school
kids,
their
their
athletes,
they're
in
theater
they're
in
all
kinds
of
things,
we've
all
got
kids
and
getting
them
to
come
to
work
can
be
a
challenge
as
well
too.
So
there's
a
there's,
a
lot
of
factors
in
place,
but
I
feel
good
where
we're
at
right
now
and
hopefully
we'll
we'll
get
to
our
goal
of
60
for
the
outdoor
season.
H
Here's
kind
of
what
I
was
alluding
to
earlier
is
I
I.
Think
that
I'm
going
to
request
that
the
council
appoint
an
ad
hoc
budget,
Redevelopment
committee,
which
could
potentially
turn
into
a
long-term
finance
committee,
a
permanent
finance
committee
for
our
organization.
H
Essentially,
you
know
I'm
looking
for
like
three
members
from
the
council,
maybe
myself,
the
finance
director
assistant,
Finance
director
and
then
we'd
pick,
probably
get
a
couple.
Other
department
heads
to
be
included
in
that
and
I'd
like
us
to
pour
over
the
entire
budget,
try
to
see
if
we
want
to
redesign
it
see
how,
with
the
goal
in
mind
that
we
make
it
easier
to
read
and
understand
for
anyone,
who's
who's.
H
Looking
for
information,
I
think
that
the
way
our
budget
is
structured
right
now
it
is
very
difficult
to
follow
it's
and
it
takes
a
lot
of
time
to
to
pour
into
it
and
really
understand
where
all
the
money's
going
and
where
it's
coming
from
and
I
don't
and
some
of
that
we
can't
change.
But
a
lot
of
that
we
can
change
I.
H
Think
in
the
way
that
we
present
it
and
so
I
think
that
if
we
were
to
go
to
tackle
this
and
and
as
a
committee
and
bring
it
back
and
try
to
make
a
recommendation
to
the
rest
of
the
council,
we
could
have
something
in
place
well
in
time
for
the
20
fiscal
year,
25
budget
and
again
with
the
goal
of
increasing
transparency
and
making
it
easier
to
understand.
H
So
and
obviously,
at
that
point
you
know
we'll
have
we
have
our
we'll?
Have
our
22
audit
done,
hopefully
the
next
couple
months,
while
we're
23
bought
it
started
right
away
on
on
the
tail
of
that.
You
know
we
can
have
all
that
going
at
the
same
time,
and
so
we'll
essentially
know
exactly
where
We've
Ended
up
and
where
we
are.
We
already
have
it
already
closed,
but
I
just
it
would
give
us
the
a
lot
more
confidence
in
that
as
we're
doing
that
and
here's
again
feedback.
H
Obviously,
we've
gone
through
the
major
highlights
for
as
far
for
programming
and
allocations.
As
far
as
where
everything's
going
at
least
the
main
changes
from
year
over
year,
I
am
more
than
happy
to
meet
with
anybody
one-on-one
or
if
you
want
to
meet
as
a
as
a
award
one
on
two
to
Port
at
pour
through
the
budget.
H
If
you'd,
like
I,
mean
we
can
go
line
by
line,
if
you
want
to
I'm
I'm
comfortable
with
doing
whatever
you
guys
would
if
you
don't,
if
you're,
confident
that
we're
going
where
we
need
to
go
I'm
fine
with
that
too,
but
I
just
want
to
offer
that
that
we,
you
know
Casey,
obviously
and
I,
have
really,
and
each
of
the
staff
members
for
each
of
their
budgets
have
have
obviously
gone
through
this
pretty
heavily.
H
But
we
are
more
than
welcome
we're,
saying
you're
more
than
welcome
to
do
the
same
thing
with
us
there.
So
we
can
help
you
understand.
What's
going
on
specifically
if
in
case
you
have
any
questions
and
I
would
like
to
know
how
I'm
going
to
be
presenting
a
budget
to
you
guys
here
pretty
soon,
I
think
in
the
on
the
original
timeline.
H
It
said
February
14th,
but
that's
I'm,
going
to
push
that
to
February
28th
I'm,
going
to
be
proposing
a
budget
to
you
for
to
you
folks,
and
then
we're
going
to
set
it
up
to
where
we
would
have
a
any
hearings
or
anything.
We
need
to
have
an
approval.
All
that
can
be
done
in
March,
but
if
you
guys
would
like
something
specifically
included
in
my
presentation
when
I
do
present,
my
official
budget
I'd
love
to
hear
it
anything
you
any
feedback.
H
E
Personally,
I
mean
we're
so
late
in
the
game
to
try
to
change
stuff
right
now,
I
mean
I
would
tell
you
to
run
with
what
we've
been
doing
for
the
last
30
years,
but
I
would
definitely
love
to
see
us
change
it
moving
forward
to
have
graphs
and
be
easy
to
read
and
stuff
like
that.
I
just
don't
know
if,
if
we
have
the
time
frame
to
do
a
lot
of
that
stuff
between
now
in
April
1,
when
we
have
to
have
this
approved
well.
H
Idea
is
that
you
know
this
is
a
joint
effort
right
to
me.
The
budget
is
the
is
a
representation
of
your
values
as
an
organization
as
a
community,
and
that's
you
know
that's
what
you
guys
are
in
the
business
of
is
representing
this
organization
as
communities.
That's
what
you're
elected
for
so
the
feedback's
got
to
come
both
ways.
It's
got
to
be
a
joint
effort
to
prepare
and
present
this
budget
to
the
to
our
staff
to
the
community.
H
So
I
mean,
if
there's
something
that
can
that
you
think
is
beneficial
I,
I,
wouldn't
just
automatic
automatically
say
we're
too
late
in
the
game
to
get
it
for
this
year.
If
it's
too
late,
I'll
tell
you
but
I
mean
there's.
There
are
things
that
we
can
do
to
help
help
you
guys
and
help
the
public
understand
what's
going
on
for
this
year's
budget,
if
we,
if
we
start
doing
it
now,.
G
Well,
I,
first
of
all,
I
appreciate
what
you've
done
tonight.
I
mean
this
is
a
lot
easier
to
follow
than
just
getting
thrown
this
book
and
then
going
through
chapter
by
chapter,
which
I
tried
to
do
and
there's
stuff
buried
in
there
and
and
I
realized.
There's
not
like
Dave
said
not
enough
time
to
unbury
some
stuff,
but
I
mean
the
the
things
we're
going
to
get
asked,
or
at
least
I'm
going
to
get
asked
is
hey.
G
We
went
to
these
meetings,
not
a
lot
of
people
went,
you
know
as
a
fraction
of
the
whole
city,
but
right
these
things
should
be
highlight.
For
instance,
I
I
really
think
that
in
in
Matt's
Department
getting
a
secretary
for
code
enforcement
was
a
a
great
thing,
a
great
addition
and
it
should
be
highlighted.
I
mean
I
know
it
happened
last
year,
but
when
some
of
these
things
happen
or
when
we're
planning
them
in
this
next
fiscal
year,
they
should
be
highlighted
so
that
we,
without
digging
through
here
on
page
2735.
G
We
can
instead
say.
Yes,
we
are
going
to
look
at
recycling.
We
are
we've
already
looked
at
tourism,
we're
going
to
be.
You
know,
boosting
Economic,
Development,
et
cetera,
et
cetera
things
that
are
on
this
list
and
other
things
that
were
on
the
the
communities
list.
Yeah.
H
And
just
yeah,
that's
one.
One
reason
why
I
wanted
a
Communications
person
on
this
staff
is
to
help
us
to
communicate
those
things
as
we're
doing
them
and
it'll
help
us
tie
the
things
that
we're
doing
in
our
budget
to
the
to
the
services
and
to
the
the
requests
of
the
community.
If
that
makes
sense,
you
mentioned
recycling,
we
didn't
have
anything
that's
in
this
necessarily,
but
obviously
we're
looking
at
recycling
we're
going
to
have
a
workshop
on
recycling
at
the
next
meeting.
H
K
If
you
have
time
to
do
an
exercise
like
that
with
budget
presentation,
especially
online,
nobody
wants
to
carry
that
big
book
around,
but
the
online
presentation
mirrors
it
and
it's
hard
to
interpret
that
too
sure
so.
I.
H
That's
a
tough
one
in
the
way
you
you
ask
that
and
I'm
not
saying
it's
not
a
reasonable
question,
a
reasonable,
reasonable
request,
because
the
cities
do
it
differently.
Right,
I
mean
a
lot
of
cities.
Do
their
their
thing
differently.
We've
done
it
differently
than
what
I'm
I
mean
the
way
I've
done
it
this
year.
The
way
Casey
and
I've
done
this
year,
it's
different
than
probably
what
you
guys
have
done
in
the
past.
So
everybody
does
it.
You
know
everybody.
Does
it
differently.
H
So
as
far
as
comparing
contrasting
is
kind
of
a
hard
thing,
one
thing
that
we
would
look
that
we're
going
to
look
into
potentially
if
we
have
the
money
for
fiscal
year
25
is,
is
a
budgeting
software,
because
if
we
had
a
you
know,
if
you
get
a
budgeting
software,
what
you
can
do
is
it
is.
It
helps
us
create
a
budget
book.
That's
more
user
friendly.
H
They
have
some
really
good
softwares
out
there
that
as
we're
doing
this
exercise
of
going
through
the
budget,
rather
than
us
pouring
through
Excel
spreadsheets
and
worrying
about
the
Excel
spreadsheet,
you
know
making
a
mistake
in
an
entry
in
an
Excel
spreadsheet
or
the
Excel
spreadsheet
becoming
corrupted,
or
you
know
all
those
types
of
issues
that
come
with
just
working
with
a
basic.
You
know,
Excel
is
very
powerful,
but
I'll
be.
Obviously
it's
worked
for
our
budget,
but
there's
a
lot
more.
H
J
H
K
E
I
was
just
going
to
piggyback
on
Council
for
women.
Lawson's
I
probably
said
it
like
three
or
four
years
here
that
Community
to
the
east
of
us,
their
budget's
fairly
easy
to
read
and
it
kind
of
spells
out
what
Wastewater
is
and
and
who's
involved
in
the
different
departments
in
it.
E
So
when
I
look
at
other
communities,
budgets,
I
mean
it's
easier
for
the
community,
read
not
I
mean
we're
all
community
members
and
when
you
get
on
this
thing,
our
budget
is
very
difficult
to
read
and
I
told
you
when
Perry
probably
can't
concur
this
that
Ron
trivett
I
bet.
We
did
10
budget
meetings
right
I
mean
we
went
line
by
line
and
I
mean
he
made
sure
that
you
understood
that
that
budget.
You
know
the
revenues
coming
in.
You
know
the
expenditure
is
going
out
right.
E
Well,
I
think
Ron
Trevitt
made
sure
that
we
understood
where,
where
that
money
went,
so
we
so
I
understand
the
budget
on
that
Excel
spreadsheet.
A
lot
better
than
most,
just
because
of
Mr
trivett,
understood
and
I
had
to
go
back
and
re-study
and
try
to
remember
from
20
years
ago,
like
okay.
Okay
but
I
just
you
know,
I
think
when
you
look
at
some
of
the
other
communities
just
reading
their
budget.
Is
it's
a
lot
easier
for
the
common
person
in
our
our
citizens
to
read
it
a
lot
easier?
In
my
opinion,
absolutely.
H
That's
that's
a
goal,
and-
and
there
to
me
that's
two
steps.
One
is
I
think
we
need
to
simplify
our
budget
and
our
process
and
I
mean
I,
think
the
process
we
kind
of
simplified
this
year,
but
we
need
to
simplify
the
actual
structure
of
the
budget
and
accounting
for
where
the
money
comes
in
and
where
it
goes.
I
think
that
can
be
there's
a
lot
of
room
for
improvement
there.
That
Casey
and
I
have
already
been
like.
Okay,
we're
not
doing
this
again
we're
changing.
H
I
mean
you
guys
are
you
guys
are
living
this,
because
you
guys,
you
know
you're
part
of
of
what
we
do
every
every
month
right,
the
the
general
public
isn't
so
I
wanted
to
I
want
something
that
people
can
pull
up
and
if
they
just
have
a
basic
understanding
of
anything
budget
relief.
They've
ever
looked
at
a
budget
before
I
want
to
be
able
to
look
at
our
budget
and
understand.
What's
going
on
well.
E
I
mean
sometimes
you'll
have
someone
get
online
and,
and
mayor
will
probably
concur
with
this
they'll
look
at
our
fund
balances
that
I
think
Stephanie
puts
out
for
us
and
not
actually
at
the
budget
and
I
mean
to
me.
Those
are
two
different
items
right,
but
yeah
I
mean
we
sat
there
and
argued
I.
Think
one
time
on
Facebook,
which
you
know
is
a
great
place
to
argue
about
the
money
coming
in
money
coming
out,
how
much
money
we
actually
have,
and
it's
it's
very
difficult
for
people
to
understand
all
that
stuff.
H
H
One
day,
right
and
yeah,
and
so
and
I
think
that
we
need
to
look
at
how
we're
doing
our
all
of
our
capital
projects
and
how
we're
accounting
for
all
that
I
think
I.
Think
that
there's
ways
we
can
present
this
that
show:
okay,
here's
the
percentage
of
what's
of
the
money
that
we
get
going
to
this,
there's
a
percentage
going
to
that.
You
know
that
those
are
the
types
of
things
that
we
can
do.
That
would
be
a
lot
easier
for
people
to
understand
when.
E
You
talk
about
putting
wording
on
that.
You
can
sit
there
and
say
in
2019
the
citizens
of
Belton
voted
in
a
storm
water
Levy
in
a
street
living
here's
where
this
money
is
going
and
here's
what
we've
done
so
far
and
it
just
I
think
it's
just
sometimes
about
communicating
with
them
and
where
their
money
that
they
voted
in
and
where
it's
going
and
they
can
see
that
I
think
it's
I
think
it's
vital
that
we
do
that.
Like.
H
H
Yeah
I
think
that's
that's
definitely
the
goal.
We
definitely
want
to
be
able
to
tie
in
what
the
community
has
done
and
voted
for
and
where
that
goes,
and
how
that
you
know
how
that
plays
in
and
I
think
a
lot
of
people
don't
realize
you
know
there's
two
ends
of
the
spectrum.
Some
people
think
well
yeah.
We
eat
all
this
extra
money
that
we
don't
even
need.
H
You
know
and
where's
it
all
going
or
you
know
all
I
know
is
I'm
getting
taxed
too
much
or
I
know
what
it
cost
me
and
and
I
get
that
I
understand
that
and
then
you
got
the
folks.
You
know
folks,
who
you
know,
I
want
what
I
want,
and
so
I
mean
trying
to
be
able
to
communicate
in
a
way
that
everybody
can
understand.
Well,
here's
where
it
goes
and
here's
you
know,
that's
why
we
have
these
meetings
so
I.
E
Community
but
I
think
you
want
to
do
a
vision.
What
I
call
a
vision
for
our
community
with
members
and
all
that
I
mean
that's
a
we've,
always
in
the
beginning
of
our
budget
book
has
always
talked
about
the
goals
of
the
community
and
what
the
citizens
have
expressed
to
us
that
they
wanted.
And
you
know
for
years
it
could
be
sidewalks,
it
could
be
recycling.
H
H
H
I
think
and
like
we
got
about
a
month,
I
don't
want
us
to
take
a
month.
If
we,
if
you
guys,
have
concerns
or
issues,
please
bring
them
up
to
me.
I
know
it's
a
lot
to
digest
right
now,
I've
printed
off
the
the
worksheet.
If
you
want
to
go
through
line
by
line,
please
reach
out
to
me
we'll
get
that
done.
H
We
might
want
to
do
that
sooner
than
later.
If
you,
if
you
do,
want
to
do
that
and
we'll.
E
When
I
always
remind
people
that
budget
is
always
a
moving
Target
too
I
mean
we
can
always
adjust
it
and
move
stuff
around.
If
we
see
that
need
in
the
future,
because
it's
our
budget
I
mean
it's
our
budget,
the
nine
of
us
we
we
say
yes
to
it,
they
put
it
together
and
we
say
yes
with,
but
yeah
I,
just.
H
A
K
Parks
has
the
former
relief
daddy
daughter,
dance
is
now
the
family
dance
at
high
blue
on
the
18th
of
February
coming
up,
the
Easter
egg
hunt
is
scheduled
for
April
1st,
and
that
is
a
sight
to
behold.
The
turnout
on
that
is
massive,
really
well
run.
Last
year
we
enjoyed
it.
So
if
you
want
to
see
a
bunch
of
kids
run
around
screaming
for
candy
April,
1st
Summerfest
is
scheduled
for
June
3rd
right
now.
G
A
G
I
got
three
things:
one
might
kind
of
bleed
into
councilman
reports,
but
anyway
the
tdd
transportation
development
District
met
on
January
18th
and
then
that's
about
widening
Mullen
Road.
They
approved
768
000
for
Osage
Valley
Utility
to
move
their
power
lines.
G
All
the
property
owners
have
agreed
to
settlements
for
their
property
near
the
proposed
Circle
at
Cambridge
and
Mullen
last
meeting
I
said
they're
going
to
start
in
summer,
but
now
it's
fall,
2023
and
part
of
that
I
think
a
little
bit
of
it
is
that
there's
been
a
hitch
in
plans,
the
bank
they
were
getting
their
funding
from
Great
Western
Bank
was
taken
over
by
First
Interstate
Bank
and
that
bank
Nicks
the
bonds
up
to
nine
million
dollars
for
the
project,
so
they're
looking
for
new
funding,
I'm,
not
a
financial
person
that
seems
late
in
the
game
to
me,
but
that
they
seem
confident.
G
They'll
get
funding
anyway,
Piper
Jeffrey,
the
tdd's
financial
services,
companies
in
the
process
of
finding
new
funding
and
one
of
their
possible
ideas
in
their
quirky
dot.
Presentation
was
city
funding
which
is
timely
because
we're
coming
up
for
the
budget,
but
anyway
they
haven't,
come
to
the
city,
I,
don't
think
to
ask
for
money.
Yet
this
is
kind
of
an
offshoot
codes
and
farm
coats
and
Fort
advisory
Council.
G
We
haven't
had
a
meeting
since
our
December
meeting,
but
Matt
and
Joe
and
are
I
guess
it
was
Human
Resources
a
person
we're
at
the
a
meeting
to
January
19th
about
the
rental
inspection
program.
Most
of
you
were
there,
so
I'm
not
going
to
repeat
all
this
stuff,
but
it
seems
there
are
a
lot
of
landlords
there
who
weren't
too
thrilled
with
the
program
they
cited:
Fourth
Amendment
rights
against
unwanted
searches.
G
One
other
thing
has
nothing
to
do
with
the
liaison,
but
I
mentioned
a
few
of
you
and
I
didn't
get
a
chance,
because
I
didn't
have
a
meeting
last
week
to
mention
it
last
week,
but
there
was
the
Cass
County
actually
at
the
U.S
point
in
time,
homeless.
Count
last
Wednesday
night
from
4
P.M
to
2
at
2
p.m.
The
next
afternoon,
so
for
several
hours,
I
lasted
for
about
six
hours.
G
We
went
out
into
the
woods,
went
into
places
where
we
expected
to
find
homeless.
It
was
a
little
bit
warmer
than
last
year.
It
was
19
degrees
this
year
and
we
had
we
had.
We
only
have
data
for
2022,
yet
they
haven't
canned
up
the
whole
group,
but
we
have
about
25
unsheltered
homeless.
In
the
Belton
Raymore
area
and
a
curious
thing
I
saw
about
the
the
data
was
across
Missouri.
There
is
one
unsheltered
person
for
every
two
sheltered
people.
G
Sheltered
means
they
found
a
church
basement
to
camp
in
or
they're
staying
with
their
relative,
maybe
one
night
a
week
or
something
as
opposed
to
unsheltered,
meaning
they're
out
in
the
in
in
the
elements.
But
in
our
region
we
have
three
and
a
half
unsheltered
for
every
one,
sheltered
which
implies
to
me.
We
have
a
lot
fewer
shelters
in
this
area
than
the
rest
of
Missouri
and
I
could
see
from
the
the
way
that
people
are
living
and
and
most
of
most
of
our
homeless
are
in
in
their
own
words.
G
Are
there
because
of
mental
illness
or
substance
abuse
and
I
guess.
The
final
thing
that
I
would
bring
from
that
is.
I
was
amazed
that
the
commitment
from
the
volunteers
that
were
out
there
looking
for
people
and
so
I
think
when
we
do
get
a
homeless
committee.
We
will
have
a
lot
of
committee
a
lot
of
volunteers
from
the
community
to
to
be
on
that.
In
fact,
there
were
people
there
from
Ward
one
two
and
four
just
the
other
night
that'll
10
11
o'clock
at
night.
E
Railroad
Cambridge,
Cambridge,
yeah,
okay,.
J
A
H
Know
that
Mark
did
a
study
and
I
haven't
seen
the
results
of
that
study.
They
should.
They
should
already
be
out
I'm
actually
meeting
with
the
Grandview
City
administrator
next
week.
So
I'll
talk
to
him
about
it
then,
but
I
know
Mark
was
doing
a
study
on
homelessness
and
then
it
was.
H
Because
it's
a
regional
issue
we
can,
we
can
take
what
they've
learned
and
what
they
are
recommending
and
bring
it
back
here
and
say:
okay,
well,
what
makes
sense
for
us
as
well
and
obviously
I
don't
have
any
I'm
I've
I've
never
had
any
problem
with
creating
a
committee
of
community
members
are
interested
if
they're,
if
they
want
to
participate
and
and
Tackle
an
issue
right,
I've
already
presented
what
five
or
six
committee
since
I
started
here
and
and
so
I
would
recommend.
I
would
welcome
another
one
if
we
wanted
to.
K
A
K
Is
there
any
update
on
Grant
proposals,
grant
writing
for
a
social
worker
to
join
our
staff?
I
know
that
kind
of
landed
across
a
couple,
different
departments
potentially,
but
just
seeing
if
that
has
gone
anywhere.
B
N
We
have
been
working
with
the
crisis
access
point
that's
over
in
Raymore
right
now,
in
regards
to
resources
for
homeless
and
Compass
Mental
Health,
we
are
investigating
there's
a
police
officer
program
in
Independence
in
Kansas
City
in
regards
to
officers
that
engage
with
the
homeless
and
we're
trying
to
find
out
more
about
those
programs.
Okay,.
E
Well,
I
got
the
feeling
for
the
mayor,
I
think
I
think
that's
what
happened
he
had
a
meeting
to
go
to,
but
it
was
my
pleasure
with
Andrew
Cunningham,
Joe
and
Madison
Smith.
We
got
to
go.
Do
a
chili
tasting
contest
with
the
city
employees.
Now
public
works,
I
didn't
get
to
come
to
your
facility,
nobody
participated
or
heard
something
about
a
and
a
monthly
dinner
going
on,
but
it
could
have
been
chilly
invited
us
for
over
there
to
sample,
but
19
different
samples
across
six
seven
different
departments.
E
E
The
police
chief
somehow
won
his
Contest
out
there,
too
so
I
mean,
but
it
was
a.
It
was
a
fun
day.
I
got
to
go
out
and
see
all
the
different
departments
as
a
city
council
person
and
and
interact
with
the
employees
and
I
enjoy
that
I
think
19
different
chilies
and
we
ate
a
lot
I.
Don't
think
I
need
chili
for
a
while,
but
it
was
a
fun
day.
Dealing
with
his
citizen
or
the
the
employees
and
I
think
they
had
an
engagement
day
is
what
they
call
that.
B
K
So
I
just
felt,
like
speaking,
that
out
here
now
that
if
you're
going
to
go
and
use
our
facilities
you're
going
to
follow
our
rules,
you're
going
to
be,
you
know
a
pleasant
neighborly
presence
or
we're
going
to
continue
having
those
issues,
and
it
is
really
discouraging
and
disheartening
to
park
staff
in
particular
to
keep
facing
these
Patron
issues.
So
just
wanted
to
say
that.
E
I
think
you'll
find
that
in
anybody
that
deals
with
what
I
call
customer
service
I
don't
care.
If
it's
with
the
city
I
mean
our
water
department,
people
deal
with
that,
every
Thursday
from
what
I'm
being
told
it's
just
the
rude,
behavior
and
and
the
language
and
stuff
like
that,
I
mean
they
shouldn't
put
up
with
it.
I,
don't
think
anybody
should
put
up
with
it.
E
A
O
Go
ahead:
bro
you
got
to
keep
in
mind
too
a
15
and
a
16
year
old
kid
trying
to
enforce
a
rule
to
a
30,
40
or
50
year
old
makes
it
very
very
difficult,
and
so
our
main
focus
is
is
just
trying
to
manage
what
we
can
control
and
try
to
prepare
for
what
we
can
assume
may
or
may
not
happen
again
and
that's
kind
of
our
approach.
A
Only
thing
I
have
I
will
what
Dave
said:
I'll
put
him
in
charge
of
the
chili,
because
I
had
an
opportunity
to
go
to
a
a
meet
and
greet
and
tour
at
the
Honeywell
plant
on
last
Friday,
and
it
was
pretty
pretty
informative
talking
about
how
they
want
to
try
to
do
this
more
often
and
try
to
get
the
communities
more
involved
in
what
they're
doing,
and
they
actually
showed
a
bunch
of
products
and
stuff.
You
know
they
had
stuff
set
up.
A
It
was
kind
of
neat
about
what
they
do
and
how
they're
trying
to
change
how
they
do
processes
to
make
them
faster
and
cheaper
and-
and
it
was
pretty
informative
that
the
guy
that's
running,
Honeywell
he's
a
younger
kid
and
he
he
was
pretty
pretty
down
to
earth
and
just
wanted
to
get
the
community
more
involved
than
what
it's
been
in
the
past,
because
it's
always
been
pretty.
Everybody
knows
what
they
do.
J
A
H
A
couple
quick
things:
councilman
Powell
had
mentioned
that
code
enforcement
advisory
committee
I
believe
they're
working
on
getting
into
the
next
meeting
organized
for
February,
so
I'd
expect
us
to
have
a
meeting
in
February,
because
staff
does
have
something
to
to
take
to
them
for.
Regarding
the
rental
inspection
program,
tourism
Council
met
for
the
first
time,
and
that
was
a
a
positive
meeting
in
the
right
direction
and
public
Arts
commission
that
you
guys
approved
last
meeting
we're
obviously
taking
applications
for
the
public
Arts
commission
now.
H
A
Anybody
else
with
that
entertaining
motion,
dinner
and
executive
session,
discuss
managers
retaining
legal
actions
according
to
Missouri,
State,
Statute
610.021.1
and
discuss
matters
pertaining
to
negotiated
contracts
according
to
Missouri,
State,
Statute,
610.021.12
and
the
record
be
closed
and
the
meeting
adjourned
from
there
so
moved.
Second
I
have
a
motion
in
a
second
any
discussion.
