A
C

F
Mr
mayor
council
members
at
the
last
meeting
I
gave
you
guys
quite
a
few
good
reasons
that
we
should
reinstate
The
Five-Year
inspection
program
on
long-term
rentals.
I
would
like
to
tonight
give
you
a
scenario:
I'm,
a
retired,
journeyman
carpenter,
so
I
probably
think
of
the
worst
case
scenarios,
but
they
can
happen.
F
As
we
know,
buildings
can
move
especially
slabs.
They
move
that
concrete
moves,
it's
flexible,
even
basements
move,
and
with
that
and
I've
worked
on
a
lot
of
them,
you
get
doors
that
get
jammed
shut.
You
get
Windows
that
get
jammed
shut,
and
so
my
what
keeps
popping
into
my
head
is
you've
got
a
back
door
where
the
the
slab
is
moved
it
that
door's
jammed
shut.
You
cannot
open
it.
There's
a
fire
in
the
front
of
the
building.
F
F
If
I
didn't
do
I'm
on
the
committee,
Wanda
Thompson's
on
the
committee
I
think
we're
the
only
ones
here,
probably
and
Matt
and
Rob
sorry
Rob,
but
if
I
didn't
do
everything,
I
could
do
as
a
Committee
Member
to
avert
a
disaster
like
this,
then
I
would
feel
like
I
was
doing
those
tenants
in
this
service.
Now
I
don't
have
a
vote.
You
all
do
so.
I
would
implore
you
to
think
really
hard
about
the
consequences
of
what
a
no
vote
might
mean.
F
F
That's
all
the
rental
inspection
and
program
is
about
is
to
hopefully
make
sure
people
are
living
in
a
safe
environment.
We're
not
there
to
see
if
they're
doing
their
laundry
every
day
or
washing
their
dishes
or
anything
else.
It's
to
see
that
they're,
safe
and
so
I
would
I.
Would
ask
the
council
members
think
hard
about
this.
You
know
if
an
affirmative
vote
could
have
maybe
averted
something
like
this
and
you
vote.
No,
you
should
think
really
hard
about
those
consequences.
F
So
that
might
be
something
to
think
about
now.
After
Wanda,
it
took
me
on
a
a
tour
now.
I
do
have
some
other
ideas
it
was
I
was
amazed
just
looking
from
the
outside,
which
has
nothing
to
do
with
this
rental
inspection
program.
We
already
have
building
codes,
while
when
you
drive
through
what
two
blocks
of
a
neighborhood
and
you're
seeing
holes
literal
holes
in
the
roof,
why
is
that
not
being
caught
on
by
our
inspectors?
F
You
know
barcodes
inspectors,
I'm
sure.
It's
against
code
now
that
house
is
not
a
safe
house
to
be
living
in.
It's
wet,
I
guarantee
you
there's
going
to
be
mold,
there's
going
to
be
rot,
it's
going
to
be
bugs
Windows
boarded
up.
It's
all
one
with
plywood
over
the
windows
and
that's
all
in
the
building
inspection
program
is
operating
doors
and
windows.
F
So
if
we
have
a
chance
to
put
this
back
in
I
think
it
needs
to
be
there.
Honestly.
After
what,
after
one
and
I
have
talked
I've,
come
up
with
several
other
ideas,
it
seems
that
Matt
had
said
that
we
will
track
these
landlords
through
water
bills
on
change
of
occupancy,
which
is
a
trigger
in
what
we
presented
for
an
inspection.
F
While
this
particular
case
where
we
were
the
other
day,
the
landlords
pay
the
water.
So
they
will
never
get
an
inspection
because
you'll
never
know
I,
don't
think
we
have
access
to
ever
G
or
the
gas
company.
You
know
for
change
of
occupancy,
so
I
have
some
other
ideas.
I
I
mean
I
honestly
to
at
this
point,
I
would
be
willing
to
just
put
the
rental
inspection
on
hold.
Go
back
to
committee.
F
I
I
could
see
maybe
dedicating
one
inspector
that
does
rentals
and
when
they
have
a
code
violation,
a
building
because
I'm
not
talking
about
grass
and
weeds.
You
know
everybody's
got
grass
and
weeds
Bush
brush
whatever
I'm
talking
about
actually
codes
and
codes
violations
hole
in
the
freaking.
Excuse
me,
holes
in
the
roof
Windows
boarded
up
that
kind
of
thing
that
could
trigger
a
rental
inspection.
So
maybe
we
ought
to
just
rethink
this
whole
thing.
F
F
H
H
I
I
think
that
we're
going
to
put
undue
pressure
on
the
tenants
who
live
there
and
live
in
substandard
housing,
which
we
know
because
I
know
what
they're
paying
and
I
am
not
in
favor
of
the
five-year
inspection
I
am
in
favor.
Instead
of
that,
using
the
tools
we
have
already
in
place
with
codes
and
going
around
and
having
someone
give
notice
to
these
landlords
that
this
stuff
that
has
been
sliding
for
all
this
time
is
no
longer
what
this
city
wants
and
we're
not
going
to
tolerate
it.
H
H
We
should
require
our
codes
Department
to
put
these
guys
on
notice
that
this
is
not
what
we're
going
to
tolerate
anymore
and
basically
just
put
them
on
notice
and
I
I've
driven
around
I've
driven
a
lot
of
you
around
I've
asked
people
to
go
and
look
around
I
think
we've
got,
we've
got
situations
that
we
could
deal
with
already
with
codes
and
and
just
simply
put
them
on
notice.
So
that's
thank
you
very
much
for
your
time.
Any.
I
A
I
I
Not
going
to
be
a
regular
at
the
meetings,
he
will
be
doing
Communications
regarding
the
meetings
and
what
what
takes
place
here,
but
he's
not
going
to
be
we're
not
requiring
him
to
come,
attend
them
in
person,
especially
since
we
have
them
online,
and
so,
but
I
just
wanted
him
to
be
here.
For,
for
you
all
to
put
a
face
to
the
name
and
just
have
an
introduction.
A
G
I
have
I'm
sorry,
I
have
three
amendments
come
on
for
this
two
two
are
two
are
tied
together
and
and
try
to
address
Brett's
comments
over
the
last
several
meetings
and
one
is
reintroducing
The,
Five-Year
Plan,
so
I
talked
to
Patrick
and
he
allows
me
to
put
the
two
together
because
if
one
doesn't
pass,
then
I
don't
think
the
second
one
would
pass.
But
I'll
read
them
to
you.
It's
on
Section,
10-141c
definitions.
G
I'd
make
a
motion
to
change
the
definition
of
property
manager
to
the
following:
a
person
charged
with
operating
a
dwelling
or
dwelling
unit
and
implementing
city
of
Belton
requirements.
When
the
landlord
is
unavailable,
unable
or
unavailable
to
personally
attend
to
such
details,
the
property
manager
must
reside
within
30
minutes
of
the
dwelling
or
the
dwelling
unit
and
B,
which
is
the
second
amendment
to
that
section
again.
Under
definitions.
Add
this
to
the
definition
of
landlord.
K
L
Cities
do
have
similar
requirements
regarding
local
property
management
and
currently,
the
way
that
the
city's
process
is
set
up
is
that
the
licensed
officer
who
is
Andrea
acting
as
the
city
clerk
too,
requires
that
there
be
a
local
person
available
for
emergency
contact.
However,
we
have
not
defined
previously
in
the
code
what
local
meant
on
whether
30
minutes
is
local
or
whether
you
know
45
minutes
is
local,
depending
on
where
you
are
in
the
Metro
is
up
to
the
city
council.
K
I
guess
my
question:
is
it's
something
if
you
can
give
us
examples
of
other
communities
and
later
on?
We
can
always
add
that
to
this
ordinance,
then
I
think
that
would
be
the
first
step
is
seeing
what
how
it
works
in
other
communities,
I.
Just
that
that's
I,
don't
know:
I
I
a
little
deep
right
now
for
me
to
sit
here
and
try
to
add
that
onto
an
ordinance
that
we
can
add
on
six
months
from
now.
If
we
want
to.
I
I
will
say
that
sorry
Mr
I
would
like
to
say
that
other
communities
do
have
registered
agents
and
this
and
the
Regis
the
idea
of
a
registered
agent,
which
is
essentially
the
same
thing
as
something
we
were
actually
planning
to
propose
as
part
of
an
code
amendments
coming
down
the
pike
that
included
the
the
rental
registration
program
and
the
fees
and
all
that
stuff.
So
we
were
going
to
bake
that
into
that.
But
I
mean
it's.
It's
essentially
the
same
concept,
so
I
mean
as
far
as
we're
concerned.
It's
it's.
G
I
had
I
guess
two
follow-ups,
first
of
all,
I
think
it
was
Matt.
Somebody
did
at
the
last
meeting
or
two
meetings
ago,
maybe
say
that
in
our
business
license
for
residential
landlords,
we
have
a
requirement
that
the
that
a
property
manager
be
a
pay
a
business
license,
and
it
also
says
that
for
llc's
that
there
has
to
be
the
name
of
a
Casey
metro
area,
contact
for
landlords
not
physically
located
in
Belton.
So
that's
what
we've
been
depending
on
for
llc's.
G
We
don't
have
a
similar
requirement
for
General
Partnerships
or
sole
Proprietors
I'm,
not
sure
why,
but
anyway,
when
I
mentioned
that
to
Brett
who's
been
pushing
this,
we
both
agree.
That's
not
quite
strong
enough.
Not
physically
located
in
Belton
may
be
strong
enough,
but
KC
metro
area
contact
what
the
contact
the
contact
just
might
be
somebody's
cousin,
who
then
calls
the
landlord
and
then
landlords
in
Mississippi,
and
he
he
or
she
doesn't
do
anything
but
I
I
would.
G
Finally,
I
would
say
that
in
in
response
to
the
city
manager,
I'm
the
register
agent
for
a
couple
of
non-profits,
and
that
just
means
I'm
legally
required
to
file
things
with
the
government.
It
doesn't
mean
I'm
the
building
manager
or
anything
else
it
just
it's
just
a
maybe
in
your
case,
it'll
mean
something
stronger,
but
official
registered
agent
is
is,
is
just
somebody
who
reports
through
the
state
once
a
year
that
the
that
the
group
is
still
in
business
and
pays
any
fees
that
are
necessary
to
keep
it
going.
I
A
I
M
I
Issues
with
the
property
then
legally,
they
are,
they
are
there
to
be
served
so
to
speak,
okay,
and
so,
if
we're
going
through
the
process
of
forcing
a
property
owner
to
do
something
with
their
property
that
they're
not
doing
with
your
normal
code
enforcement
means
they
don't
have
to
go
through
the
court
system.
We
can
serve
a
registered.
N
A
G
K
K
G
I
Concepts
we're
already
working
on
I
mentioned
the
idea
of
a
registered
agent
that
the
Rental
process,
the
rental
registration
process-
is
already
working
through
its
way
through
Planning
and
Zoning
commission.
So
it's
it's
not
just
conceptual
at
this
point
we
already
it's
already
in
line
to
come
to
the
council.
A
G
O
A
G
For
instance,
no
batteries
and
smoke
detectors
or
a
non-working
GFI
which
down
the
road
as
Dennis
was
saying,
can
cause
disastrous
results.
Also
rentals
or
businesses
and
other
businesses
are
inspected
routinely
and
so
I
know
it.
It
will
I
I
agree,
it
will
be
an
intrusion.
You
have
to
make
a
date
for
somebody
from
the
city
to
come
in
and
look
at
your
and
make
sure
your
house
is
safe.
I
I
think
that's
a
that
one
day.
Every
five
years
is,
is
a
minimal
requirement
or
a
minimal
hardship
on
you.
G
A
J
I
just
wanted
to
say
with
this
in
2018
I
was
one
of
the
members
of
the
group
that
created
the
petition
that
started
the
rental
inspection
all
off
and
Our
intention
was
to
have
a
mandatory
rental
program
for
all.
There
were
not
going
to
be
exceptions
for
how
many
years
we
had
discussed
between
three
to
five
years,
Among
Us
hundreds
of
people
signed
the
petition
I've
personally
spoken
to
at
least
100
renters,
who
do
want
this
several.
J
That
are
also
in
the
same
position
as
the
house
that
Wanda
had
mentioned,
but
they
do
feel
like
they
would
be
less
likely
to
lose
their
place
and
less
likely
for
it
to
go
up
extremely
go
up
if
it
were
to
fall
in
the
city's
responsibility
and
not
on
theirs
to
call
in
and
Report
their
landlord,
because
then
that
looks
like
they're
tattletailing,
and
so
they
want
a
mandatory
program.
So
I
would
like
to
encourage
everyone
to
vote
for
this.
I
A
A
I
Yes,
anything
codified
I
mean
anything
that
would
be
related
to
code
any
changes
in
code.
This
absolutely
would
have
to
be
that
I
know
administratively.
There
are
some
specifics
that
we
are
allowed
to,
but
I
mean
the
general
parameters
are
being
decided
here
tonight
or
or
with
the
following
up
legislation
that
we're
do
when
we
set
the
the
registration
guidelines
with
the
amounts
as
far
as
how
much
you
have
to
pay
for
your
registration
fee
and
then
the
registered
agent
portion
of
it
that's
all
going
to
be
established
by
by
code.
I
So,
essentially,
once
that's
done,
we
cannot
go
altered.
We
can't
alter
that.
We
can't
go
opposite
of
that,
so
anywhere,
there's
gray
area,
then
there's
there
could
be
some
room
for
administrative
interpretation,
but-
and
so
that's
again
we
can
codify
anything
at
any
point,
and
so,
if
there
are
some
issues
that
we
find
down
the
line,
the
council
can
always
say.
Well,
we
don't
like
the
way
this
is
being
done.
We
can
let's
codify
it
this
way
so
and
if
there's
any
concerns
I
mean.
I
J
Absolutely
I
had
landlord
contact
me
saying
they
were
concerned
that
we
were
pushing
something
through
tonight,
so
that
we
could
change
it
to
be
whatever
we
wanted
afterwards
and
I
was
telling
them
I
would
not
vote
for
it
unless
it
was
something
that
would
come
to
council,
so
they
would
be
notified.
So
I
just
wanted
to
check
that.
Thank
you.
I
K
My
only
comments
tonight
as
I
I
think
we've
had
some
work
sessions
with
the
community.
I
think
we've
had
work
sessions
with
this
group.
I
know
the
code
advisory
committee
worked
together
too,
on
this
and
I
think
everybody
comes
together
that
the
landlords
probably
don't
want
any
of
this,
but
I
think
in
agreement
with
the
majority
of
the
landlords
I've
spoken
with
when
it's
unoccupied,
they're
they're,
fine
with
it.
K
If
a
renter
wants
to
call
in
every
year,
they're
fine
with
it,
especially
the
good
landlords
here
in
our
community
I've
spoken
with
I-
think
the
biggest
problem
I
think
what
you
just
said:
we're
we're
bickering
about
something
that
would
actually
go
into
effect,
July
1
of
2029,
the
unfortunate
thing
some
of
us
might
not
be
here:
July
1
of
2029.,
but
that's
the
first
time
that
a
mandatory
inspection
would
have
had
been
done.
So
to
me,
I
want
to
follow
what
Wanda
is
saying
and
say:
let's
get
something
in
place,
see
how
it
works.
K
We
have
homeowners
that
have
holes
in
our
roofs
and
if
we
went
in
our
houses,
we're
going
to
kick
them
out
also,
but
we're
not
going
after
homeowners
we're
only
going
out
to
renters.
So
when
you
talk
to
tenants-
and
they
say
they
don't
want
to
be
invaded
and
some
of
them
said
you
better-
have
a
search
warrant
because
you're
not
coming
into
my
house
I,
look
at
the
tenants
more
strongly
than
I
look
at
landlords,
and
the
last
thing
I
want
to
do
is
invade
someone's
house
when
they
don't
want
us.
There.
P
P
My
thing
with
with
the
whole
rental
inspection
we've
already
got
a
plan
in
place
right
now
that
people
can
send
a
letter
to
their
landlord
if
they
don't
come
out
and
respond
to
it
and
fix
it.
Code
can
come
out
and
write
them
on
code
and
we're
trying
to
fix
something
that
we've
already
got
a
plan
in
place.
I
feel
we
haven't
informed
the
people
of
how
to
do
that.
P
I
guess,
because
we're
coming
up
with
a
whole
new
program
to
let
the
government
control
how
these
people,
rent
and
I
think
the
the
long-term
issue
of
this
everybody
wants
lower
income
housing
and
this
whole
plan
is
going
to
raise
the
the
cost
of
living
for
renters
I
feel
long
term.
It's
going
to
raise
the
cost,
I've
I've
kind
of
changed.
My
whole
mindset
of
being
against
the
whole
thing
right
now.
Until
we
come
up
with
a
different
plan,.
K
K
Just
you
know:
I
agreed
as
a
council
person.
If
we
worked
through
it
and
we
did
kept
it
unoccupied,
I
would
follow
through
and
I'd
vote
Yes,
because
I
dealt
with
landlords.
I
dealt
with
tenants
and
I
dealt
with
other
people,
but
personally
I
think
it's
government
overreach
in
my
personal
opinion,
but
I
agreed
since
it
was
unoccupied
I
would
vote
for
it.
A
E
Ahead,
I
would
say
that,
yes,
your
your
heart
and
your
mind's
in
the
right
place
with
this
idea,
I'm
all
in
favor
of
an
inspection
inspection
program
when
you're
changing
residence,
but
as
having
been
a
business
owner
all
my
life
I
just
keep
thinking
the
government
just
keeps
getting
more
and
more
interference
with
the
business
world
every
day
and
I
didn't
like
dealing
with
it.
If,
if
a
the
landlords
are
constituents
also,
so
if
there's
a
problem
in
a
rental
place,
I
say
fix
it.
E
If
you
can't
get
the
landlord
to
fix
it,
you
fix
it,
pay
some
hammer
it
out
between
you
all
I,
don't
think
the
government
should
always
get
involved
in
everything,
but
an
inspection
program
between
residents,
that's
fine
to
go
through
and
make
sure
it's
in
decent
shape
and
such,
but
beyond
that
I'm,
just
not
for
it.
Foreign.
I
E
P
G
Well,
I
won't
bore
you,
but
I
was
going
to
add
the
same
amendments
because
there's
the
same
definitions,
exactly
the
same
definitions
in
this,
but
taken
to
the
fact
that
the
staff
is
working
on
working
at
a
whole
different
residential
landlord
licensing
program.
I
won't
suggest
these
amendments,
but
the
definitions
are
still
in
this
in
this
one
also.
C
K
So
when
you're
starting
to
see
the
assessed
valuation
go
up,
50,
000
or
50
million
I
mean
our.
Our
tax
levy
should
have
went
down
in
my
world
considerable
I'm
thinking
anywhere
from
seven
to
ten
cents,
based
on
what
I
remember
in
the
past,
so
I
guess
I
need
some
understanding
of
why
it
didn't
change.
Well,.
M
B
B
It
didn't
so
that
the
public
hearing
was
based
on
a
necess
evaluation
that
was
sent
out,
June
30th
and
the
council
action
report
that
you
guys
had
in
your
packet
is
based
and
the
ordinance
is
based
on
the
assessed
valuation
that
was
sent
out,
July
21st
and
then
the
state
sends
us
forms
that
we
need
to
fill
out
telling
us
the
revenue
that
we
can
assess
and
it's
either
the
CPI
hour,
growth
rate
or
five
percent.
Whichever
is
less
and
five
percent
was
less,
so
we
cannot
collect
more
than
five
percent
or
more.
B
K
B
So
I
mean
that
that
happens
quite
often
and
I
would
say,
with
what
the
states
going
through
right
now.
There's
that
probably
happened
in
quite
a
few
minutes.
Municipalities,
where
that
assessed
valuation
changed
so
I've
got
the
documentation
from
June
and
from
July,
but
in
order
to
get
the
public
Hearing
in
the
paper
and
for
us
to
do
two
readings
and
two
separate
meetings.
I
had
to
put
a
public
hearing.
B
O
K
C
J
M
These
are
UDC
tax
amendments
for
amendments
in
the
old
town
belt
and
overlay
to
permit
drive-through
restaurants
along
East,
North
Avenue,
as
well
as
updates
to
the
UDC
schedule
of
fees.
The
first
set
of
updates
is
to
three
sections
of
the
UDC
to
amend
the
old-time
belt
and
overlay
District
to
permit
drive-through
restaurants
on
properties
with
Frontage
on
East
North
Avenue.
M
Those
conditions
will
also
be
included
in
section
40-4
that
specifically
states
that
the
drive-through
facilities
are
limited
to
restaurants
with
front
and
John
East
North
Avenue,
no
other
drive-through
facilities
would
be
permitted
in
the
overlay
District
on
the
second
set
of
amendments
is
for
the
UDC
schedule
of
fees
currently
appendix
a
and
the
UDC
has
a
schedule
of
fees
for
both
the
code
of
ordinances
and
the
UDC
staff
is
proposing
to
remove
part
one,
which
is
a
scheduled
fees.
That
applies
to
the
code
of
ordinances
and
there's
a
second
ordinance
on
this
evening.
M
Following
this
one,
they
would
be
the
opposite
of
that
which
would
be
amending
the
code
of
ordinances
to
remove
the
UDC
schedule
fees.
The
reason
to
do
that
is
to
eliminate
UDC
fees
from
the
code
of
ordinances,
and
vice
versa,
just
to
avoid
any
confusion
and
there's
already
some
errors
in
there,
because
those
fee
tables
are
not
always
changed
at
the
same
time
or
there's
fees
that
are
forgotten
about
in
one
code
not
modified
in
the
other.
M
As
part
of
the
fee
schedule,
fee
changes,
staff
is
proposing
to
modify
signed,
permit
fees
to
be
more
user
friendly.
Currently,
the
fees
are
based
on
illumination
and
the
number
of
sides
that
which
is
an
uncommon
way
of
calculating
fees
for
signed
permits
to
be
more
in
keeping
with
neighboring
communities,
we're
proposing
a
flat
fee
for
permanent
signs,
a
flat
fee
for
change
of,
face
signs
and
temporary
signs.
M
The
change
of
face
sign
an
example
would
just
be
whenever
there's
an
existing
cabinet
and
you're
just
changing
the
actual
sign,
but
not
the
structure
itself
for
a
new
tenant.
Those
fees
that
are
proposed
would
match
the
city
of
Raymore
staff
is
also
adding
the
application
fees
for
the
preliminary
and
final
development
plan,
which
is
set
at
300.
That
fee
has
been
in
place
since
at
least
2016..
M
It's
just
not
in
the
schedule
of
fees,
so
we're
just
adding
that
in
for
consistency
and
then
the
last
fee
change
would
be
adding
the
vacation
request
fee
for
the
request
to
vacate
any
right-of-way
or
plotting
approvals.
Currently,
that
is
set
at
zero.
We
are
proposing
150
dollar
fee
which
matches
the
special
use.
Permit
and
the
variance
fees
which
are
a
similar
process
that
require
Public
Notices.
Currently,
we
are
not.
M
We
are
losing
money
on
that
application
review,
because
we,
in
addition
to
not
making
up
for
staff
time,
we're
also
sending
out
Public
Notices
without
any
reimbursement.
Originally,
in
this
fee
update,
we
did
include
rental
registration
inspection
fees.
However,
we
did
remove
that
and
we'll
bring
that
forward
at
a
later
date,
along
with
the
other
amendments
that
have
been
proposed
earlier
this
evening
to
the
rental
registration,
Planning
Commission
did
hold
a
public
hearing
on
July
18th
on
these
amendments,
no
one
spoke
in
favor
or
in
opposition
to
the
request
they
unanimously
recommended.
M
Yeah
for
a
permanent
sign,
it
would
just
be
a
flat
fee
of
fifty
dollars
per
permanent
sign,
so
it
doesn't
matter
if,
if
it's
double-sided
or
single-sided
still
the
same
amount,
illumination
does
require
a
separate
electrical
permit.
So
there
would
be
additional
fees
assessed
if
there's
illumination.
I
Go
ahead,
I
just
want
to
make
sure
for
the
public,
and
in
case
the
council,
is
there
any
confusion
about
the
UDC
code
of
ordinances
issue,
because,
essentially
both
you
know
we
have.
We
have
our
code
of
ordinances,
we
have
our
unified,
unified
development
code,
and
so
the
UDC
obviously
is
representing
our
development.
I
You
know
everything
we
do
when
it
comes
to
in
terms
of
development,
and
so
we
have
some
things
that
are
in
both
and
it's
not
necessary
they're,
both
legally
binding,
and
so
that's
what
Matt's
trying
to
do
is
clean
it
up,
because
there's
no
need
to
have
UDC
issues
in
their
regular
code
and
then
regular
code
issues
in
our
UDC,
but
they
should
just
address
their
own
areas
essentially,
and
so
that's.
What
we're
trying
to
do
is
clean
that
up.
G
O
M
G
G
A
O
A
C
A
This
that's,
it
does
say
that
I'm
sorry
I'm
losing
it
a
public
hearing
regarding
the
pros
proposed
18th
Amendment
to
the
Old
Town
building
Belton
Redevelopment
plan
for
redevelopment
project,
2023-05
percent
to
section
353.110.3
sub
paragraph
two
rsmo
is
now
open.
Anybody
to
speak
on
the
public
care.
M
This
is
a
request
for
a
new
tax
payment
project
in
Old
Town
Belton
at
314
Main
Street.
The
applicant
is
requesting
approval
for
twenty
seven
thousand
five
hundred
fifty
dollars
in
exterior
improvements
to
the
property
which
includes
new
stucco,
brick
tuck,
pointing
and
repair
exterior
paint,
new
doors
and
windows
on
the
front,
Main,
Street
facade
and
roof
coating
and
ceiling.
The
Old
Town
Belton
board
recommended
unanimous
approval
of
the
project
Amendment
on
July,
19th
and
but
then
public
hearing
notices
were
sent
to
local
tax
during
tax
jury.
A
G
A
K
A
C
J
C
G
C
I
Up,
thank
you,
Mr,
Mayor
and
Council
this
specific
resolution.
It
comes
from
a
lot
of
discussion,
a
lot
of
internal
discussion,
especially,
but
we
even
discussed
it
here
in
Workshop
we've
over
time.
I
think
Belton
developed
a
little
bit
of
a
development.
Unfriendly
type
of
reputation
sometimes
earned
sometimes
not,
but
we
looked
at
our
into
our
processes
and
we
I
think
I've
shared
with
everybody
that
we
found
that
our
timelines
for
turnaround
of
development
issues
when
it
comes
to
you
know
the
whole
process.
I
Our
timeline
was
was
pretty
out
of
whack
with
a
lot
of
the
cities
in
the
metro
area.
We
were
longer
in
most
regards
and
we
given
the
issues
with
us,
trying
to
recruit
and
begin
single-family
residential
development.
I
know
we've
got
some,
that's
that's
taking
place
in
the
community
on
a
very
slow
basis,
but
we
thought
that
we
would
dedicate
our
staff
to
Turning
those
timelines
down
around
essentially
and,
and
you
know,
cutting
them
almost
in
half.
I
Obviously,
this
resolution
is
largely
ceremonial,
it's
mostly
just
kind
of
a
hey.
We
are
committed
to
making
sure
that
that
our
processes
are
are
up
to
speed
and
that
we
are
being
competitive
so
to
speak
in
in
the
metro
area
and
essentially
hoping
that
the
council
would
also
follow
suit
when
it
comes
to
any
issues
that
are
not
being
opposed.
Now.
As
part
of
this,
the
staff
is
committing
to
ensuring
that
when
we
have
new
development,
that's
coming
down
the
pike.
I
If
there
is
opposition,
or
at
least
determine
if
they
are
opposed
to
it,
obviously
we
if
there
is
opposition
to
something
and
then
there's
something,
that's
debatable.
We
want
to
lean
on
process.
We
don't
want
to
speed
things
up,
then
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
we're
overturning
every
Rock
and
we're
addressing
those
issues,
but
if
there's
something
that's
not
controversial
at
all
and
it's
something
that
could
help
our
community
we'd
like
to
be
committed
to
making
sure
that
it
goes
to
the
process
as
fast
as
possible.
So
that's
that's.
A
K
Don't
know
if
I
have
any
questions
Joe
but
I
have
statements.
I
guess
you
know,
I
haven't
gone
through
the
process.
I
mean
I
can
sit
here
and
tell
you
that
it's
it's
burdensome
sometimes
and
dealing
with
Builders
and
Developers,
who
tell
me
as
a
city
councilman,
they
don't
want
to
deal
with
Belton
and
it's
all
changed
so
I'm
hoping
we
can
be
fresh
with
every
one
of
these
individuals
and
move
forward.
K
I
I
appreciate
those
comments,
I
think
that
that
happens
and
we're
and
we're
aware
that
that's
happened
many
times
in
the
past
and
that's
one
of
the
issues
that
we
face
with
being
development.
Unfriendly,
like
I,
said
some
in
some
instances
that's
been
earned,
and
internally
we've
had
these
conversations
already,
we've
already
committed
to
this.
We
just
wanted
to
to
try
and
make
sure
that
we're
all
in
lockstep
with
the
council
and
that
you
guys
are
you
know
you
guys
have
a
portion
of
this
as
well.
I
Sometimes
it
could
be
a
double
reading
for
something
that's
not
controversial.
Some.
You
know
that
that
type
of
thing-
and
so
we
just
want
to
make
sure
we're
in
lockstep.
Yes,
we
are
aware
that
you
know.
Sometimes
we
have
issues
because
we'll
have
different
people.
Looking
at
the
same
thing,
you
know
you
know
there
might
be
some
some
changes
you
might
have
to
make.
If
you're
the
developer,
we
get
it
back
to
you,
then
you
make
those
changes
and
give
it
back
and
it
well.
I
It
comes
back
to
someone
else
in
in
the
kids
in
the
queue
when
it
comes
back
to
someone
else
who
maybe
didn't
review
it
the
first
time
and
we're
committed.
We've
already
had
these
conversations
internally,
we're
committed
to
that
to
only
have
one
bite
at
the
Apple,
so
to
speak.
So
if
we
have
find
issues
with
it
and
we
give
it
back
to
a
developer
for
for
changes
and
they
bring
it
back,
that's
that's
our
chance
to
get
to
give
them
those
issues.
K
Guess,
that's
not
fair.
My
next
thing
I
would
ask
because
this
happened
probably
five
years
ago.
So
again,
nobody
was
here
sure
the
engineer
for
the
developer
said
that
he
needed
three
lots
missed
out
for
retention
and
all
that
he
comes
up
to
the
city.
Their
engineer
says:
I
need
like
eight
or
ten
Lots,
but
I
don't
think
they
ever
sat
down
and
had
a
conversation
with
the
engineers
together.
Seeing
why?
K
What
are
you
saying
that
I
don't
see
and
I
just
I
just
sometimes
I
think
we
need
to
reach
out
to
these
developers
after
they
turn
in
and
say,
hey,
here's,
what
we're
seeing
and
here's.
Why
I
just
I
think
communication
is
always
key
with
people
and
if
we
can
communicate
with
these
developers
Builders
and
just
make
them
understand,
here's
what
we
see
and
here's.
Why
and
I
just
sometimes
in
the
past
we
weren't
doing
that.
I
We've
we've
I've
shared
with
everybody
in
the
past.
You
know
recently
that
in
the
past
year,
since
we
since
I've
been
here,
we've
established
or
identified
that
our
two
core
values
as
an
organization,
our
integrity
and
dedication
to
service
and
I,
would
hope
not
just
hope,
but
we're
we're
dedicated
to
ensuring
that
that
dedication
to
service
is
is
something
that
we
lean
on,
and
so
your
specific
instance
makes
sense.
There's
a
lot
of
common
sense
to
that.
When
there's
issues
of
disagreement,
let's
serve
the
community
and
work
together
to
try
and
find
the
right
solution.
I
I
Surface
runoff
becomes
an
issue
for
some
of
the
neighbors
and
there's
some
disagreement
there
and
that's
some
of
the
reasons
why
we
have
Engineers
looking
at
it
and
there
may
be
a
difference
of
opinion
right.
You
know
sometimes,
if
someone's
being
paid
by
the
by
the
contractor
developer,
they're
going
to
lean
toward
the
opinion
that
that's
going
to
save
them
money.
Whereas
we're
you
know.
Sometimes
our
staff
is
going
to
be
looking
at
the
the
overall
picture
and
how
does
this
affect
the
neighbors?
And
how
does
this
affect
everybody
else
and
and
making
sure?
I
K
Well,
I
think,
20
years
ago
we
had
a
change.
The
review
process
of
the
the
occupancy
permit
to
make
sure
their
their
grade
was
Final
because
people
what
they
turn
in
on
a
plot
plan.
The
citizens
would
go
and
just
modify
that
not
worrying
about
where,
where
the
water
went
so
I
mean
I,
think
we
actually
final
grade
it
before
they
allowed
to
put
saw
down
if
I
remember
right.
So
so
it's
just
yeah
communication,
we've.
I
K
No
I'm
excited
to
see
we're
going
to
have
that
meeting
on
the
23rd
and-
and
hopefully
we
got
a
lot
of
Builders
and
developers
here
in
our
community
to
to
tell
you
what
they've
experience
in
our
past
and
you
can
tell
them
what
to
experience
in
the
future
and
I
hope.
We
see
a
lot
of
people
coming
back
to
our
community
I'm.
I
Glad
you
mentioned
that,
because
that
is
part
of
this.
This
whole
effort
is,
we
are
on
Wednesday
August
23rd
having
a
developers
open
house
and
we've
sent
out
invitations
to
a
lot
of
developers
in
the
metro
area
to
those
who
develop
here
currently
and
or
recently,
and
those
who
don't
and
we're
going
to
go
out
and
try
to
recruit
some
people
to
come.
Whether
just
because
we
want
to
make
sure
we're
getting
as
much
feedback
as
possible
on
this
Joe.
I
Do
a
short
presentation
and
then
with
the
but
the
the
concept
is
the
reason
we'll
do.
A
short
presentation
is
because
we
want
to
bring
up
a
few
Concepts
that
we
know
have
been
sticking
points
and
and
show
some
of
the
the
strides
we've
made.
We
believe
we've
made
as
an
organization
to
to
help
make
this
a
better
process
for
everybody
and
then,
but
we
also
want
to
make
sure,
there's
we're
inviting
as
many
opportunities
for
discussion
as
possible.
So
that
way
we
can
get
that
feedback.
We
need.
G
I,
don't
want
to
contradict
what
Dave
said.
That's
that's
a
good
experience
to
know.
I
just
want
to
say,
I've
had
almost
an
opposite
experience
with
pushing
through
a
project
and
the
the
planning
department
and
the
engineering
have
answered
all
our
questions.
They
have
come
back
with.
If
you
you
correct
three
and
you
get
two
more,
but
in
a
couple
instances
is
because
we
didn't
correct
them
properly,
and
so
they
they're
required
to
point
to
the
ordinances.
A
C
N
P
C
D
D
D
K
A
Aye
any
opposed
motion
carries
item
nine.
Let
me
back
up
one
spot
as
you'll
notice.
The
Roman
numerals
are
wrong.
So
that's
a
scrivener's
error.
So
if
you
look
at
them
they're
wrong
so
follow
along
and
we'll
change
them
as
we
go
so
item
nine
consent.
Agenda
One
motion,
non-to-beable
to
approve
the
recommendations
noted
any
member
of
the
council
may
ask
for
an
item
to
be
taken
from
the
consent
agenda
for
discussion
in
separate
action
present.
K
O
Foreign
yeah
some
parks
events
coming
up.
If
you
have
an
open
weekend,
you
could
fill
it
with
the
farmer's
market.
On
Thursday
Friday
night
theater
in
the
park
at
Memorial,
Park
will
be
The.
Little
Mermaid
Saturday
is
a
show
with
adult
humor,
maybe
called
don't
dress
for
dinner.
Also
theater
in
the
park
of
Memorial
Park
coming
up
on
Sunday
September
10th
is
the
doggy
dip
day
at
the
outdoor
water
park.
O
The
contractor
is
on
site
finishing
up
surfacing
at
Memorial,
Park,
probably
mid-week
next
week,
to
see
that
Playground
open
and
then
the
contractors
hoping
to
poor
pad
next
week
out
at
Country
View
Park
in
West
Belton,
where
they
tore
off
the
basketball
court
they
wanted
to
replace
it
sooner
than
they've
been
able
to,
but
due
to
the
weather,
we've
had
it's
taken
longer
and
youth
fall.
Sports
sign
ups
are
still
happening
now,.
A
K
I
got
mayor
is
driving
down
the
street
in
last
Friday
in
my
neighborhood,
I
saw
a
lot
of
green
barrels
out
and
it's
kind
of
nice
and
people
are
happy
to
have
a
recycling
back.
I
did
have
sell
some
comments
on
Facebook,
where
I
guess
on
a
windy
day,
some
of
that's
trash
is
being
thrown
around
I.
Guess,
I,
don't
know
how
gfl
is
going
to
fix
that
I'm
trying
to
think
back
years
ago
when
we
had
the
same
type
of
bins
and
they
dumped
them
I.
K
G
Q
O
A
Only
thing
I
really
got
is
MML
on
August.
We
won't
have
August
12th
meeting
because
MML,
if
you
guys,
are
interested
in
going
make
sure
you
get
with
when
I
say:
September,
12th,
I'm,
sorry
with
Andrea,
and
because
the
deadline's
coming
close
we're
probably
going
so
that's
all
I
got.
Did
you
get
anything
I.
I
Have
two
things:
Mr
Mayor
one
I,
we're
very
pleased
with
the
turnout
and
the
discussion
that
happened
last
night
at
Memorial
Station,
the
Congressman
Alford
hosted
a
fentanyl
forum
and
it
kind
of
came
down.
The
pike
last
minute
from
US
Route
have
been
more
I've,
been
able
to
push
more
of
you
to
attend,
but
there
were
a
lot
of
people
there.
I
was
shocked
at
how
many
people
there
were
a
couple
hundred
people
there
and
it
was
a
really
good
turnout.
It
was
a
very
meaningful
discussion.
I
I,
don't
know
if
nothing
else,
it
did
a
good
job
of
spreading
awareness
of
the
issue
and
how
much
it
it
really
is,
affecting
people
here
and
impacting
everybody
people
that
may
not
realize
it.
It's
a
real
issue
for
us
to
address
as
as
a
society
right
now,
so
I
I
just
wanted
to
to
point
that
out
and
also
one.
A
M
We'll
also
have
the
amended
development
and
maintenance
agreement
that
was
tabled
at
that
meeting.
That
will
be
brought
back
for
consideration
as
well
just
kind
of
an
overview
of
how
they
have
decided
to
add
some
additional
parking.
There
is
that
they've
widened
the
driveways
for
each
unit
to
be
a
to
accommodate
two
cars
and
they'll
still
have
the
individual
garage
unit
for
each
building
or
for
each
dwelling
unit.
So
they'll
have
a
total
of
three
parking
spaces
per
unit.
M
That
will
also
with
the
driveway
coverage,
will
will
really
limit
the
amount
of
on-street
parking
to
allow
more
space
for
emergency
vehicles
to
get
through
the
subdivision.
There
have
been
some
concerns
expressed
about
retrofitting
the
driveways
in
the
first
phase.
I
did
have
a
meeting
with
the
developer
this
afternoon
and
they
are
willing
to
add
retrofit
the
driveways
in
the
first
phase
as
they
go
along
with
the
development
of
the
second
phase,
where
those
driveways
are
feasible
to
be
widened.
M
K
I,
don't
want
to
be
like
Brett
there
I
think.
Last
time
you
talked
about
this
program.
They
were
getting
ready
to
switch
out.
The
water
meters
also
I
mean
they're
going
to
be
tearing
up
that
stuff
in
the
second
phase
or
whatever
phase
are
on
now
automatically
going
to
have
individual
water
meters
or
they
still
one
water
meter.
That's.
M
K
Guess
my
question
is:
if
they
got
a
retrofit,
I
mean
they're
gonna
be
tearing
up
that
land
I
mean
it'll,
be
a
good
time
to
modify
the
parking
spot,
so
they
can
all
be
conforming.
Just
just
my
thoughts,
I
mean
hasn't
been
one
of
my
favorite
subdivisions
in
the
city
of
Belton
for
a
long
time
and
I
voted
no
last
time
just
because
of
the
parking
situation
and
and
making
sure
we
can
get
emergency
vehicles
in
there.
So
as
long
as
he
corrects
that
yep.
M
K
M
G
G
G
Q
The
police
department
will
be
bringing
forward
an
agreement
between
us
in
the
Drug
Enforcement
Administration
the
headquarters
as
out
of
St
Louis
and
Kansas.
City
is
a
resident
office.
We
do
have
a
task
force
member,
that's
attached
to
that
for
a
number
of
years.
I
think
some
of
you
know
him,
but
the
DEA
was
looking
for
a
police
range
where
they
can
conduct
training
and
qualification
on
firearms,
and
we
have
a
facility
that
we
use
at
two
one
two
hundred
South
Mullen
Road
in
Belton.
Q
There
is
pricing
for
using
the
price,
the
target
system,
it's
about
four
thousand
dollars
ten
times
a
year,
and
then
it
is
about
three
thousand
without
that,
if
they
use
it
10
times
a
year,
and
then
we
have
pricing
of
four
hundred
dollars
one-time
fee
if
they
want
to
use
it
and
then
300,
it's
a
standard
contract
that
we
have
entered
in
with
them.
It's
been
through
legal
analysis
and
so
you'll
be
seeing
that
here
in
the
near
future,.
