Yes,
good
evening,
mayor
and
Council
in
February
2023,
the
city
clerk's
office,
applied
for
an
electronic
records
initiative
grant
for
the
Missouri
Secretary
of
State
office.
This
grant
is
specifically
for
the
purpose
of
local
record
preservation
in
a
digital
format.
The
city
was
awarded
twenty
seven
thousand
four
hundred
dollars
to
be
used
toward
the
Enterprise
content
management
system
and
for
three
high
efficiency
desktop
scanners.

The
code
of
ordinances
designates
a
specific
time
when
the
public
is
available
to
or
is
allowed
to,
utilize
The
Limited
public
forum,
that
is
the
city
council's
meeting
under
the
code
of
ordinances.
That
portion
is,
during
the
personal
appearances
item
on
the
agenda
and
during
other
times
the
public
is
not
a
participant
in
the
meeting.
Instead,
it
is
a
meeting
of
the
city
council.
B
I
I
will
let
you
inform
you,
let
you
know
that
this
is
just
the
first
reading,
so
there
will
be
a
second
reading
at
the
next
meeting
in
two
or
three
weeks.
Whenever
the
next
meeting
is,
you
can
sign
up
to
talk,
then
doing
personal
appearances.
You
need
to
reach
out
to
the
city
clerk's
office
to
do
that,
and
then
she
will
put
you
on
the
agenda.
That's
the
way
we
have
to
do
it
so.
K
K
The
second
page
of
the
document
that
I
sent
you
this
morning
is
transfers.
As
you
know,
we
make
transfers
between
funds
and
we
do
have
to
amend
those
if
we're
changing
any
of
those
in
the
budget
and
one
of
I
guess
the
the
most
notable
ones
is
going
from
Public
Safety
sales
tax
fund
to
general
fund
the
items
for
fire
and
police
that
are
being
reappropriated
for
24..
We
do
have
to
update
that
transfer
in
the
budget,
so
that's
one
of
the
ones
that
I
would
entertain
any
questions
on.
If
anybody,
yes,
Casey.
I
K
D
K
I
L
If
I
may
there,
there
is
a
what's
included
in
here.
This
is
all
essentially
carry
forward
from
23
that
didn't
get
finished
in
23
for
an
assortment
of
reasons.
Supply
chain
issues,
things
such
as
that
things-
maybe
we
ordered
they
hadn't
come
in
yet,
and
so
we
hadn't
paid
for
it
yet,
and
so
we
did
most
of
this
is.
This
is
just
all
bookkeeping,
essentially
to
go
from
one
fiscal
year
to
the
to
another
fiscal
year.
L
M
B
L
Would
mayor,
if
you
don't
mind,
go
ahead?
I
would
like
to
point
out
that
at
that
there's
a
lot
of
been
a
lot
of
public
chatter,
about
our
ability
to
respond
to
animal
control
issues,
especially
if
you
get
on
social
media.
That's
probably
one
of
the
one
of
the
largest
complaint
areas
that
and
and
I
don't
think
that
it's
an
unfounded
complaint
area.
I
think
that
that
we
have
one
full-time,
Animal
control
officer,
they're
limited
to
the
number
of
hours
that
they
work.
If
they're
on
vacation
or
whatnot,
then
police
is
supposed
to
respond.
L
But
police
is
not
just
at
one
trained
to
respond
to
all
of
those
types
of
calls
and
they
can't
handle
all
those
calls
in
the
same
manner
that
an
animal
control
officer
would
be
able
tomb
will
be
trained
to
handle
those
calls,
and
so
it's
and-
and
so
there's
a
lot
of
time
where
there
is
not
an
animal
control
officer
on
duty.
You
know,
there's
there
were
more
than
40
hours
in
a
week,
and
so
this
would
double
our
coverage
essentially,
and
the
intention
would
be
that
we
would
find
a
way
to
schedule
this.
L
A
L
The
where
it's
the
set
the
salary
and
then
the
reason
we're
asking
for
50
extra
it'd
be
go
it'd
go
to
70
is
to
cover
the
benefits
and
the
extra
expenses
that
we
would
have
to
cover
workers
comp
that
kind
of
stuff.
That
kind
of
thing
that
comes
with
having
a
full-time
employee
that
we
wouldn't
have
to
pay
for
if
they
were
a
part-time,
employee,
I.
L
The
salary
would
be
in
line
with
the
with
the
existing
Animal
Control
Office
or
as
far
as
where
it
would
where
it
would
set
up
on
the
grade,
and
this
and
whatnot
on
the
pay
grade
in
our
in
our
current
pay
structure.
But
the
extra
money
would
be
available
would
be
there
to
cover
the
extra
cost
to
the
city
for
for
the
for
retirement
and
everything
else
that
goes
into
it.
L
Yeah-
and
we
don't-
we-
don't
really
do
that
at
this
point
we
have
our
police
try
to
respond
to
those
calls
and
handle
the
best
that
they
can
we're,
not
the
only
city
that
has
the
struggles
with
animal
control
issues
as
it
is,
so
we
would.
We
would
struggle
to
find
another
city
that
would
be
able
to
cover
us
essentially
unless
it
was
essentially
an
emergency
situation.
L
B
H
Hey
yeah,
Casey
and
I
discussed
this
a
little
bit
this
afternoon.
There's
a
1.8
million
dollar
transfer
to
the
water
fund
from
the
water
impact
fee,
and
yet
she
said
that
not
all
of
the
items
listed
under
expenditures
that
are
going
to
happen
in
2023-24
are
covered
by
that
some
are
covered
by
other
funds
or
whatever
so
word
is
the
other
money
that's
being
transferred
over.
C
N
B
M
L
The
good
thing
is,
we
were
already
planning
to
outfit,
a
second
animal,
part-time,
Animal
control
officer
anyway,
with
the
budget,
so
the
so
that
would
that
would
roll
into
that
full-time
role
already.
So
it's
it's
essentially
just
the
human
component
of
that
extension
to
a
full-time
position
that
we
would
have
to
cover.
That's
different
sure.
C
O
B
O
B
H
Again,
there's
what
money
came
over
from
the
water
impact
fund
to
the
water
fund
and
I
guess
some
to
the
Wastewater
fund
and
I'm,
and
yet
we
weren't
in
discussing
with
Casey
weren't,
clear,
which
of
those
items
that
were
in
our
email
today
are
covered
by
that,
but
it
doesn't
sound
like
everything's
covered
by
that.
So
it
sounds
like
we're.
Gonna
have
extra
money
in
the
water
fund
that
came
over
from
the
impact
fund
and
my
guess
my
question
is:
where
does
that
money
go
to?
Is
it
just
a
to?
P
H
L
Just
want
to
point
out
one
more
time:
this
is
an
ordinance,
so
it
will
require
a
second
reading
and
we
could.
That
would
give
everybody
two
weeks
to
to
digest
further
the
public
and
have
two
weeks
to
dive
into
it
if
they
so
choose
before
the
SEC.
The
second
reading
and
and
I
just
want
to
make
sure
we.
Everybody
was
aware
of
that.
Angela.
D
H
N
And
Council
before
you
this
evening
is
Professional
Services
agreement
with
Confluence
to
complete
the
2024
comprehensive
Plan
update,
an
RFP
which
was
issued
on
April
12th
of
this
year
and
submittal
deadline
was
May
5th.
We
received
four
proposals
and
the
Review
Committee
interviewed
all
four
teams
that
submitted
proposals
and
selected
Confluence
based
on
their
proposal
and
their
qualifications
of
their
team.
N
The
budget
includes
two
thousand
two
hundred
thousand
dollars
for
the
comprehensive
Plan
update
as
part
of
the
CIP
and
the
total
fee,
and
the
scope
of
work
with
this
is
198
500
dollars
again.
The
comprehensive
plan
will
guide
future
development
over
the
next
15
to
20
years
in
the
city,
and
the
staff
recommends
approval
of
this
agreement
with
Confluence
to
complete
that
update.
N
C
L
L
H
A
N
Yeah
there
will
be
a
significant
opportunities
for
public
engagement
throughout
the
process,
both
online
as
well
as
through
multiple
public
meetings
and
different
events
that
they
will
hold.
There
will
be
a
statistically
valid
survey
that
will
go
out
later
this
summer,
so
probably
starting
in
August,
going
through
October
or
November.
There
will
be
a
good
two
or
three
months
there
of
multiple
opportunities
for
Community
engagement.
O
I
was
just
gonna
compliment
the
plan
I
loved,
how
much
Community
involvement
there
was
and
the
plan
that's
in
our
packet.
That
is
absolutely
spelled
out
to
make
sure
it's
catching
even
those
types
of
citizens
that
don't
always
get
involved,
getting
some
of
them
involved
as
well.
So
that
way,
hopefully
we're
not
gonna.
Have
the
issues
of
people
being
like?
Well,
I
wasn't
invited,
you
know
it's
gonna,
Encompass,
so
many
different
areas
but
I
think
it's
going
to
get
a
little
bit
of
everyone.
So
I
I
think
it
looks
like
a
really
great
plan.
L
Mayor
I
just
wanted
to
to
Angela's
Point,
and
you
were
on
that
committee
when
we
were
choosing
who
we
were
going
to
try
to
propose
for
this
comprehensive
plan.
One
of
the
reasons
that
Confluence
was
picked
is
we
really
did
like
their
public
engagement
component
and
what
they
proposed
to
do
with
that.
We
thought
that
was
an
extremely
important
component
of
the
of
the
comprehensive
plan
process
and,
and
they
were,
they
went
above
and
beyond.
Even
even
my
expectations
on
that
go
ahead.
A
L
A
B
M
P
P
Yeah
we're
kind
of
in
a
pickle
here,
so
the
previous
owner
at
7215,
East
157th
Street,
was
a
pickleball
player.
Apparently
he
was
a
very
good
pickleball
player
and
in
order
to
help
him
practice
and
do
his
thing,
he
built
a
pickleball
court
adjacent
to
his
property,
which
happened
to
be
city
property,
which
is
kind
of
flood
plain
area
for
oil
Creek.
The
areas
at
the
end
of
a
cul-de-sac
which
cannot
be
built
on
it's
a
it
would
have
been
a
lot.
They
could
it's
unbuildable,
so
it's
city
property.
P
So
he
went
and
built
this
on
there
without
us
ever
knowing
anything
about
it.
But
then
he
sold
the
house
and
moved
away
now,
there's
a
new
owner
to
that
property.
Once
we
found
this
pickleball
cart,
we
realized
that
we
don't
want
to
own
and
operate
it,
maintain
it
and
share
it
and
run
this
facility,
and
so
the
decision
was
made
to
try
to
give
those
pickleball
court
to
the
adjacent
property
owner
which
originally
built
it.
P
L
That
said,
I
think
that
that
it
would
pay
for
itself
if
we
don't
have
to
worry
about
any
insurance
claims
on
that
property
in
the
future.
From
someone
going
and
playing
on
the
pickleball
court,
or
you
know,
if
we
were
to
have
to
demo
it,
it
would
cost
us
at
least
that,
if
not
more
so
I
mean
I,
think
we're
comfortable
with
us.
L
At
this
point,
I
think
it's
a
sunk
cost.
The
idea
is
that
we
just
want
to
make
sure
that
it
that
it
we
think
it
could
be
a
good
thing
for
the
neighborhood.
We
just
don't
want
to
have
to
own
it
and
take
liability
for
it,
and
so,
if
he
wants
to
keep
it
and
insure
it
and
take
that
take
that
risk
essentially
and
allow
the
community
to
play
on
it.
Then
that's
that's
up
to
the
property
owner
super.
H
Go
ahead
wow.
This
seems
a
little
weird
to
me,
like
you
said,
and
I
don't
have
anything
against
the
Land
Cruisers
or
you
or
the
city,
but
it
let's
say
the
guy
I
went
and
looked
at
this
today,
I
say
a
guy
across
the
street,
keeps
hearing
pong
pong
pong
every
day,
every
night
at
11
o'clock,
and
he
goes
over
and
says:
hey,
wait!
A
second.
Can
you
stop
this?
He
says
oh
no,
this
is
my
court.
H
I
can
do
whatever
I
want
and
by
the
way
Belton
gave
it
to
me,
I
mean:
did
we
offered
it
to
other
neighbors?
Did
we
did
we?
Did
it
go
through
the
Planning
Commission?
Did
we
look
into
the
sidewalks
that
are
required
for
things
like
this?
Do
we
look
at
the
distance
from
the
street?
Did
we
notified
the
neighbors?
This
was
going
in
seems
to
me
like
it.
I
can
now
go
out
and
find
a
city
property
and
start
building
on
it
and
maybe
you'll
give
it
to
me
I.
H
We
didn't
do
any
other
thing,
we
didn't
do
any
other,
we
didn't
hold
them
to
any
other
ordinances.
We
would
have
if
these
people
had
come
to
us
and
said
we
want
to
build
this
here
and
it
actually
was
their
property,
and
it
was
right
on
the
street.
We
we
would
have
had
certain
ordinances
that
would
applied
and
now
they're
by
going
around
us,
they
didn't
have
to.
They
didn't
have
to
meet
any
ordinance.
C
I
I
H
Well,
I,
don't
know
the
people
I
could
see
the
houses
on
Richmond
from
there
I
mean
I
can
see
that
guy's
backyard,
there's
a
there's,
a
thin
line
of
trees
between
him
and
the
court,
and
my
thing
isn't
about
noise.
It's
more
about
that.
That
was
just
an
example.
It's
more
about
and
I,
don't
know
what
other
solution
there
is.
But
there's
more
there's
more
about
us
not
following
the
rules
to
get
this
done.
I
mean
somebody's,
getting
something
free
from
the
city
and
it's
not
their
fault.
It's
not
that.
H
L
L
It
so
that
makes
I
mean,
obviously
you
saw
it
so
it
to
to
staff.
It
made
the
most
sense
that
we
would
start
there.
If
they
didn't
want
it,
then
we
would
go
to
the
community
as
a
whole
and
say:
look
if
you
guys
want
this
organized
some
way
and
we'll
find
a
way
to
deed
it
over
to
you,
and
if
that
failed,
then
we
would
just
tear
it
out,
and
so
those
were
the
options
we
felt
we
were.
L
We
were
stuck
with
once
it
was
in
and
in
place
granted
you're
right
the
process
stinks.
The
process
was
not
the
normal
process
for
something
like
this,
and
it's
definitely
not
the
way
the
city
would
endorse
going
about
this,
and
if
the
city
had
caught
it
and
and
at
any
point
in
its
construction
or
early
existence
there,
with
the
exit
with
the
property
owner
that
actually
built
it
adjacent,
it
probably
would
have
been
a
different
outcome.
But
at
this
point
it
was
one
of
those
situations
where
we
thought
it
was
a
song.
L
L
That's
the
it's!
The
crazy
thing
about
this
is
is
generally,
you
know,
we'll
see
something
because
we'll
go
somewhere
and
we'll
Pat.
You
know
and
there's
usually
something
like
this
doesn't
just
spring
up
in
the
city.
Limits
essentially
is
what
I'm
trying
to
say,
because
someone
will
notice
it.
But,
like
you
said
it's
in
such
a
remote,
remote
part
of
the
city
that
doesn't
get
any
traffic
and
there's
there's
no
traffic
going
down
that
street.
Essentially
to
that
past
that
that
house,
because
there's
a
dead
end,
you
can
see
coming
and.
B
L
A
L
And
it's
been
there
for
a
couple
years,
maintained
that
side
yard
for
years
too,
and
I
will
say
this:
if
if
there
was
any
neighborhood
pushback,
that
would
have
been
a
different
scenario
as
well
and
so
and
it's
been
there
for
a
few
years,
there's
a
there's,
a
neighborhood
across
the
creek,
essentially
with
housing.
There's
there's
four
or
five
houses
within
you
know.
250
yards
of
this
thing
and
yeah
we've
had
zero
complaints
over
time
so
that
that
kind
of
made
it
a
little
bit
more
of
a
amenable.
Well.
A
I
went
and
talked
to
this
couple
when
we
mailed
out
letters
and
they
weren't
returning
our
phone
calls.
So
I
wouldn't
physically
talk
to
them
about
this,
to
tell
them
to
get
in
touch
with
Joe
and
and
what
we're
trying
to
do,
and
they
informed
me
at
that
time
that
it
is
a
neighborhood
court
and
people
from
other
house
has
come
down
and
play
there
all
the
time,
even
when
they're
not
home.
So
they
do
allow
outside
people
in
the
neighborhood
to
come
down
and
use
that
court
and
that's
what
the
previous
owner
did
also.
B
D
F
L
L
We
don't
yet
know
how
much
the
money
that's
going
to
be
generating,
but
at
the
same
time
we
don't
think
it
should.
It
should
just
be
sitting
in
the
general
fund
for
General
Uses,
not
that
that's
not
a
good
place
to
put
to
put
money,
but
we
just
thought
that
if
we
could
be
more
intentional,
with
this
Economic
Development
seemed
like
a
good
place.
To
put
it
it's
a
it's
a
it's
a
nice
wide
net.
L
Maybe
we
decided
to
move
it
somewhere,
specifically
that's
different
than
this,
but
or
maybe
it
stays
here
and
we
did
we
put
it
towards
sidewalks
or
whatever
that
might
be,
and
so
that's
why
we're
asking
that
we
just
put
it
in
economic
development
for
now
allow
that
to
to
go
into
that
fund
for
the
next
six
or
eight
months.
Until
we
have
a
good
idea
of
what
those
revenues
are
going
to
be
on
a
consistent
basis,
then
we
can
come
back
to
you
with
with
more
with
a
follow-up
on
that.
M
Yeah
I
I,
understand
where
you're
coming
from,
but
I
have
some
concerns
about
that,
especially
now
that
we
don't
have
any
staff
in
our
Economic
Development
Department
I'd
rather
see
those
six
months
of
collecting
the
sales
tax
revenue,
a
plan
put
in
place
to
put
in
the
sidewalks
and
if
it's
still
under
the
umbrella
of
Economic
Development,
that's
great,
but
that
is
a
more
concrete
thing
that
residents
want
right.
Then
we
put
this
on
the
ballot
to
say:
let's
see
what
residents
want,
it
was
the
April
municipal
election.
M
They
said
yes,
fine,
we
don't
know
how
much
money
this
is,
we
don't
have
staff
and
we
gave
them
Economic
Development
them.
That's
nobody
right
now,
but
we
gave
Economic
Development
a
significant
amount
in
last
year's
budget
is
seed
money
for
projects
and
we
should
see
that
bear
fruit
before
we
throw
more
money
into
it.
So
I
I'm
a
no
on
this,
but
if
there
was
a
plan
for
sidewalks
I
wanted
to
do
the
concrete,
punt
again
I'd
be
more
excited
about
it.
A
A
L
I
will
say
that
the
seed
money
we
put
in
for
the
economic
development
is
is
being
utilized
right
now.
There's
a
lot
of
real
estate
discussions
and
things
that
have
taken
place
recently
in
in
executive
session.
That,
at
some
point,
when
things
are
finalized,
will
be
cut,
will
be
made
public.
So
it's
not
it's
not
going
toward
nothing.
It's
not
just
sitting
there
and
just
because
we
don't
have
a
permanent
Economic
Development
staff
yet
doesn't
mean
we're
not
still
doing
Economic
Development
well.
A
B
A
All
right
well
but
I
think
what
the
what
we
just
discussed
a
minute
ago
with
Matt
I
mean
we've
got
a
comprehensive
plan.
I
mean
if
something
comes
out
of
that.
That
generates
us
interest
and
we
got
seed
money
to
go
forward
with
the
plan
or
or
you
got
to
have
money,
sometimes
to
put
a
plan
together
and
and
that's
going
to
help
go
ahead.
Angela.
O
Use
as
what
the
pivot
would
be
for
us
to
move
it
to
Economic
Development
when
it
seems
like
we're
saying
we
still
wouldn't
really
have
a
purpose
for
it,
we're
just
moving
it
from
One
Fund
to
different
Fund
in
case
we
needed
it.
Is
there
something
that
could
come
up
that
if
it
were
still
in
general
fund
that
we
couldn't
use
it
for
economic
development.
L
A
A
O
M
C
M
Out
that
we
have
an
opportunity
to
be
responsive
to
resident
desires
here,
we've
all
heard
that
people
want
more
sidewalks
and
if
I
recall,
we
had
some
projections
and
it
was
more
than
forty
thousand
dollars
like
I
I
have
a
number
in
my
mind.
It
was
going
to
be
in
the
ballpark
of
a
couple
hundred
thousand
dollars
and
that's.
L
A
M
Sure
so,
just
having
projections
to
go
off
of
and
a
need,
let's
match
that
up,
I
mean
I
I.
Think
you
threw
out
forty
thousand
to
kind
of
downplay
the
impact
it
could
have
and
I
disagree,
I
and
I.
Think
delivering
sidewalks
in
any
measure
is
delivering
what
residents
want,
and
this
is
an
opportunity
to
do
it.
I
mean
we.
L
Are
working
on
a
comprehensive
sidewalks
plan
and
study
essentially
we're
doing
internally?
Okay,
we
are,
we
are
mapping
out
where
we
need
sidewalks,
where
sidewalks
are,
are
not
up
to
Snuff,
that
we
do
have
existing
sidewalks
and
then
we
we
have
some
potential
ideas
on
where
we
can
identify
funding
sources
for
those
sidewalks,
and
so
that
is
coming
we're
just
not
we're
just
not
there
yet,
because
we
don't
want
to
halfway
roll
out
the
plan
when
we
don't
have
everything
completely
surveyed
and
we're
not
ready
for
that.
Yet
if
that
makes
any
sense,
so
that's.
I
L
Just
think
the
community
will
never
be
sorry
for
investing
in
economic
development
is
my
point,
and
so,
rather
than
going
toward
General
Services,
where
you
don't
where
it
gets
lost
in
the
mix
with
all
the
other
money,
I
mean
I.
Think
that
being
being
very
intentional
about
investing
in
Economic
Development
will
never
be
a
place
where
the
city
is
is
sorted
to
put
the
money
I'm
just
because
it
leads
to
Future
growth.
It
leads
to
Future
quality
of
life
components,
and
so
that's
it
just
to
me.
L
F
L
H
Well,
I'm
got
the
dates
a
little
confused,
but
the
I
think
that
the
when
we
did
the
survey
for
recycling
there
was
a
part
of
that
report.
That
was
the
top
five
and
one
of
the
top
fives
was
sidewalks
and
I,
don't
think
Economic
Development
was
on
it.
So
I
would
agree
with
councilman
Lawson
that
that's
something
specific
we
can
do
and
I
guess.
H
H
A
H
H
J
J
J
Yeah
for
all
members
of
the
public,
when
your
assessed
value
goes
up
under
Missouri
law,
all
the
political
subdivisions
have
to
roll
back
their
tax
levy.
There's
only
one
political
subdivision
in
the
state
of
Missouri
that
is
exempt
from
that
and
that's
the
case.
Kansas
City
Missouri
school
district,
but
everybody
else
has
to.
H
B
Anybody
else
I
mean
I,
I,
hear
everybody,
and
my
thoughts
are
that
by
putting
it
in
the
Economic
Development
Fund
that
we
it's
more
transparent
of
what
money
we're
collecting
and
where
it's
going
and
there's
no
reason
that
we
can't
do
sidewalks
with
this
money
at
any
time.
We
so
choose
so
I,
I'm.
Okay,
with
this
as
long
as
we
plan
on
looking
at
it
in
six
months
year
and
figuring
out
how
much
we're
getting
in
and
make
a
plan,
and
maybe
that
sidewalk
plan
will
be
back
by
the
time
that
six
months
is
done.
E
P
Ahead,
so
if
you
remember
last
year,
the
voters
voted
for
a
more
bonditions
to
reconstruct
our
streets,
and
so
we
issued
bonds
for
like
nine
and
a
half
million
dollars.
We
then
went
issued
contracts
for
the
fall,
which
actually
only
was
a
little
bit
less
than
seven
million
dollars,
and
so
we
built
we
paved
roads
last
fall
and
then
we
were
finishing
up
the
spring.
P
We
still
had
capacity
to
do
some
more
streets,
and
so
we
looked
at
the
list
that
was
from
this
year's
list,
the
23
list
and
the
streets
around
Hargis
Lake
were
on
it
and,
as
we
did
Construction
in
that
area,
we
really
tore
up
a
lot
of
those
streets.
You
probably
saw
how
bad
condition
they
were
in,
so
what
we
did
was
we
went
through
and
we
added
the
streets
that
we
tore
up
around
Hargis
lake.
P
So
as
we
finished
that
project
and
there's
new
water
lines,
new
sewer
lines,
we
also
went
through
and
replaced
the
curbs
and
did
the
pavement
that
was
scheduled
to
be
done.
This
fall.
We
just
went
ahead
and
in
the
spring,
under
this
year's
contract,
and
so
it
was
work.
We
added
on
is
what
this
is.
This
isn't
like
spending
more
on
the
streets
that
we
had,
we
added
more
streets
and
that's
how
come
we're
adding
more
to
the
contract.
H
H
H
But
now
we're
just
asking
for
us
to
approve
paying
for
it
right
correct.
So
why
does
this
work
this
way
and
our
353
plan
works?
Just
the
opposite.
I
mean
I.
Guess
the
state
requires
that
you
have
to
have
approval
for
even
start
something,
but
here
we've
already
finished
it
and
we're
just
asking
for
more
money.
I
I
mean
I.
Think
it's
an
excellent
I
mean
it's
a
great
Street.
It's
a
great
sidewalks
are
good
I,
like
the
drainage,
ditch
and
everything
they're,
probably
not
supposed
to
call
it
that,
but
anyway,
but
I'm
I.
H
Just
we've
had
a
few
projects
that
have
been
turned
down,
at
least
in
my
neighborhood,
because
they
didn't
they'd
already
started
or
one
of
them
even
completed,
and
yet
for
the
353.
And
yet
the
city
itself
is
finishing
all
the
whole
projects
and
then
going
and
getting
the
funding.
So
I
I
mean
it's
a
philosophical
thing:
I,
don't
know
it
seems
back
ass
words
to
me,
but.
J
J
Even
started
yeah
and
that
that
was
the
decision
of
the
city
council
again,
if
that
is
a
decision
of
the
city
council,
so
that
is
something
that
you
could
change.
So
that's
not
a
state
thing.
No,
but
again,
when
you
utilize
incentives,
most
people
want
the
incentives
approved
prior
to
beginning
the
construction,
because
then
you
don't
know
what
your
budget
is.
H
L
H
L
Was
it
was
essentially
a
project
that
was
already
approved
there?
Just
there
was
additional
scope
and-
and
that
was
essentially
part
of
that-
was
added
to
this.
So
it's
not
like
this
new
project
was
started
and
then
completed
that
you
know.
Essentially,
it
was
about
meeting
the
demand
that
was
needed
and
in
an
area
that
was
already
being
under
construction
for
other
reasons,
and
then
also
it
was
part
of
our
plan
down
the
line
and
down
for
next
year
anyway
that
money
that
we're
already
budgeting,
for
it
was
already
part
of
the
streets
plan.
L
That
was
part
of
the
bond
project.
You
know
what
I'm
saying,
so
it's
just
moving
this
project.
Essentially,
this
part
of
the
project
up
a
year
allowed
us
to
be
more
responsive
to
the
to
the
to
the
residents
that
were
already
being
inconvenienced
because
of
the
other
work
that
was
being
done
in
the
area.
Okay.
O
Saying
with
this
that
it
almost
seems
like,
maybe
we
should
re-look
into
that
353
program
as
to
when
people
are
allowed
to
apply.
I
totally
understand
that
we
want
any
projects
to
be
done
during
the
scope.
You
know
we
don't
want
someone.
You
know
who
did
work
20
years
ago
to
you
know,
turn
in
something
be
like
well
I.
D
M
Ahead,
I
don't
want
to
get
in
the
weeds,
because
I
think
this
is
an
apples
to
oranges
comparison,
but
since
I'm
on
the
chapter,
353
board
I
disagree
with
that
the
previous
Council
prior
to
us
getting
voted
in,
set
up
how
that
was
going
to
work
and
whether
things
could
be
started
already
or
if
they
need
to
get
pre-approval
now
we're
in
the
phase
where
everybody
is
getting
pre-approval
and
I
think
that
I
we
shouldn't
change.
That
is
my
view,
but
to
the
point
we're
talking
about
here
this.
B
M
O
The
product
projects
were
done
because
City
staff
did
encourage
people
to
do
them,
but
they
didn't
realize
enough
to
tell
them
the
paperwork
had
to
be
done
first.
So
that's
where
this
part
is
coming
from
I've
heard
from
a
couple
of
people
like
Rob
has
and
full
disclosure.
One
of
them
is
my
parents,
which
of
course,
I
would
recruse
myself
from
any
of
that
vote,
but
there
are
other
citizens
I've
heard
from
too
that
it
said
they
had
already
started
something
and
we're
told
no,
because
they
already
started
it.
O
A
We
had
a
change
order
is
when
you
dig
up
a
road
and
you
find
out
the
base
sucks
and
you
need
to
replace
the
base.
I
mean
I
know
it
happened
over
there
on
one
of
my
streets
like
Oakland
or
Richmond
I
mean
we
had
to
dig
all
the
way
back
down
to
dirt
and
put
down
a
brand
new
base.
We
didn't
know
that
going
into
it,
so
a
change
order,
saying
hey.
We
found
some
stuff
that
we
got
to
spend
more
money
on
to
make
sure
we
do
this
road
correctly
and
I.
A
Rather
them
do
the
road
correctly.
Then,
in
two
years
got
to
come
back
and
redo
the
road,
because
we
didn't
do
it
correctly.
That's
what
a
change
order.
It
is
it's
not
coming
back
afterwards
and
asking
for
more
money
because
they
they
wanted
it
it's
because
they,
the
scope
of
the
job,
changed
and
I.
Think
that's.
The
difference
where
we
got
to
look
at
here
is.
Is
we
require
them
to
do
more
than
what
we
originally
asked
them
to
do?.
H
H
B
P
A
H
L
In
the
re,
the
rationale
again
behind
going
ahead
and
pushing
forward
with
the
change
order
is
you've
already
got
mobilization
in
the
area.
You've
already
got
the
contractor
there
in
place,
so
you're
you
don't
have
to
you,
don't
have
to
pay
for
that
to
happen
again
and
because
the
you
know
it
was
already
in
our
plan
to
begin
with,
we
already
had
the
money
sitting
there
that
had
been
budgeted.
We
just
it
was
just
budget
for
something
else
at
that
point
in
time.
So
we
just
we
thought.
L
Okay,
let's
save
the
taxpayers
a
little
bit
of
money
on
the
mobilization.
Costs
get
this
done
now,
since
we're
already
here
and
yes,
it's
a
big
number,
and
so
that
there's
a
little
bit
of
a
shock
value
that
I
get
that.
But
again
it's
about
trying
to
be
most
efficient
with
our
with
our
taxpayer
funds
in
the
long
run,
I.
A
Complain
about
the
same
thing
with
about
Allen
Street,
also
I
mean
we've
dug
up
Allen
Street
4
42
times
in
the
last
three
years
and
I
asked
if
it's
on
the
street
map
and
it's
not,
and
it
should
be
on
a
street
map.
If
you
live
on
Allen
Street
and
if
you
haven't
driven
Allen
Street,
you
need
to
go
drive
it
because
we've
we've
torn
it
up
so
many
times
it
needs
a
new
Street.
B
D
B
F
M
For
for
a
reminder
that
fall,
Sports
sign
ups
are
going
on
now
and
then
a
little
bit
of
praise.
The
last
car
show
there's
over
100
cars
there.
It's
a
really
great
turnout,
considering
it's
a
little
hot
and
the
farmers
market
is,
is
carrying
on
even
with
sharing
the
parking
lot
with
the
Fourth
of
July
fireworks
tent
so
be
sure
to
get
out
there
and
support
those
vendors.
H
Yeah
last
week
was
the
TD
Transportation
development
district
meeting
anyway,
the
bonds
were
we
passed
to
go
and
get
bonds
for
14.6
million
the
Project's
7.6
million
and
the
rest
of
the
money
will
be
used
to
pay
out
pay
off
outstanding
bonds
and
Greg
can
correct
me
if
I'm
wrong,
but
I
think
utilities
that
they're
doing
right.
That
they're
moving
right
now
should
be
moved
by
the
end
of
July
and
I.
Just
want
to
follow
up
on
what
Dave
was
saying.
P
The
answer
question
is
a
lot
more
complicated
than
yes
or
no
okay,
so
Alan
actually
needs
more
than
just
an
overlay.
Allen
is
one
of
the
streets
that
residents
have
repeatedly
asked
for
sidewalks,
it
needs
curbs,
it
needs
storm
sewers,
it
needs
a
lot
of
improvement
and
so
part
of
our
sidewalk
plan
coming
forward.
That's
going
to
be
we're.
Looking
at
Citywide
is
going
to
be
looking
at
the
cost
to
improve
streets
and
adding
sidewalks.
D
P
Actually
will
improve
streets
to
get
sidewalks
on
them,
so
as
we're
looking
at
that
we're
trying
to
figure
out
what
is
the
overall
plan
for
the
city
of
how
do
we
go
about
achieving
our
long-term
goal,
not
just
Paving
it
and
then
two
years
later,
digging
up
again.
So
that's
why
we're
looking
at
that?
Okay
go.
H
A
A
A
Mean
my
question:
I
guess
going
back
to
Street,
preservations
and
sidewalks
as
a
council
person,
I
hope
that
we
look
at
what
I
call
arterial
or
streets
that
go
through
that
people
are
using
as
drag
strips
like
a
VC
or
an
allen
that
are
going
from
one
major
road
to
another
major
road
and
looking
at
them.
First
more
than
the
streets.
Maybe
here
in
Old
Town
that
aren't
going
straight
through
that's.
M
M
O
O
L
Do
I
yeah,
I,
yes,
I
I
mean
just
to
kind
of
as
a
response.
We
will
be
doing
the
town
halls
as
the
budgeting
process
ramps.
Up
again,
we
would
probably
plan
to
do
those
again
in
September.
I
think
is
when
we
do
them
last
year
and
so
I
think
that
people
can
start
to
plan
on
that
every
year.
That
will,
as
part
of
the
budgeting
process,
will
give
them
them.
L
You
know
a
fresh,
listen
to
what
their
concerns
are
and
try
to
see
if
we
can
find
a
way
to
and
tie
that
into
what
we're
doing
with
our
budget.
So
the
only
only
other
thing
is
I
wanted
to
I,
think
I've
told
everybody
individually,
but
July
10th,
the
15th
I'll
be
out,
and
so
once
again
and
and
so
July
11th
there
is
a
meeting
and
I
and
Greg
will
be
in
my
getting
stead
while
I'm
gone.
O
L
And
so
we've
internally
been
trying
to
address
that.
We've
sat
down
as
a
staff
we
between
engineering,
Planning
and
Building
and
Fire
Marshal,
and
making
sure
that
we
are
being
as
aggressive
as
we
can
and
turning
things
around
that
are
in
the
development
timeline
and
in
the
development
process.
So
that
way
we
can
shorten
up
our
I
mean
we've
got
we
by
policy.
L
We've
got
a
certain
amount
of
time
to
turn
things
around,
but
we're
trying
to
cut
those
in
half
essentially
to
try
and
cut
down
those
timelines,
and
so
I'm
asking
the
council
if
they
will
be
interested
in
a
potential
resolution
that
would
help
kind
of
outline
that
and
solidify
that
and
also
hold
the
council
to
a
little
bit
of
of
that
process.
Assuming
that
there
aren't
any
I
mean
the
council
would
always
with
always
up
always
hold
the
right
to
extend
something
that
needs
more
process
because
there's
public
feedback.
L
L
But
if
something
is
is,
can
is
actually
going
through
the
process
and
there's
no
pushback
I
would
ask
that
if
we
can
get
the
council
to
help
us
move
that
along
quicker,
we
will
in
turn
commit
to
making
sure
that
we
are
publicizing
these
types
of
developments
at
an
earlier
date.
So
that
way,
the
first
time
people
hear
about
it
isn't
in
an
agenda
packet.
That's
four
days
before
a
council
meeting
we
want.
L
So,
if
someone's
going
to
have
to
come
with
something
that
has
a
public
hearing
amount
to
it,
it's
not
just
the
just
meeting
the
bare
minimum
of
the
public
hearing,
but
actually,
as
we
get
the
application,
we
we
go
ahead
and
put
something
on
our
Facebook
or
on
our
social
media
and
our
website
and
say:
hey
here's,
a
here's,
a
project,
that's
coming
on
the
Pike,
that's
going
to
go
through
the
review
process.
We
want
the
public
to
know
about
it.
L
If
there's
any
feedback
or
any
pushback
on
this,
let
us
know
so
we
can
start
to
address
it
right
away
and
we
don't
want
to
be
less
transparent.
That's
not
in
in
no
way
shape
or
form.
We
want
that
to
happen
because
we
we
want
to
be
more
transparent,
but
we
think
there
can
be
a
balance
between
being
more
transparent
on
the
front
end
and
then
on
the
back
end,
when
it
comes
time
for
approvals
and
stuff
get
maybe
expeding
or
speeding
up
the
timeline
just
a
little
bit.
If
that
makes
any
sense.
A
I
mean
I've
been
complaining
about
this
three
years
before
you
got
here
so
YouTube
Matt
is
not
you
guys,
I,
don't
I
mean
I,
don't
I'm,
not
here
to
say
anything.
Pushback
about
the
commercial
process
and
I
talked
to
Encore
and
I
actually
talked
to
the
center
owner,
and
everybody
talked
about
how
lovely
it
was
to
work
with
the
city
and
everybody
on
the
commercial
side
always
tells
me.
Working
with
the
city
of
Belton
is
wonderful.
A
A
L
The
only
reason
I'm
asking
for
this
now,
instead
of
waiting
until
after
that
process
is,
is
I
I
had
I
had
the
thought
that
maybe
it
might
be
the
first
step
in
enticing
some
residential
development
to
already
have
the
processes
sped
up
when
we
get
to
that
Forum.
So
that
way
we
can
say
hey
here's,
what
we've
done
to
commit
to
making
this
a
smoother
process
for
you
is
there
anything
else
that
we're
struggling
with,
and
then
that
way,
it's
already
that
we're
extending
first,
the
hey.
A
To
finish
and
I
agree
with
you,
Joe
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
ready
for
this.
So
when
these
Builders
come
in
and-
and
we
have
a
meeting
and
say
well,
you
put
this
in
place,
but
you
don't
follow
it
right.
I
mean
I
got
about
five.
Six,
seven
Builder,
friends
of
mine
and
I
got
I
mean
we
got
a
residential
guy
to
put
streets
in
and
don't
want
to
deal
with
the
city
of
Belton
and
put
residential
streets
in
because
they
say
that
we're
a
painter
now
again,
Greg
wasn't
here
nobody
else.
A
Nobody
was
here,
so
they
haven't
experience
us.
But
how
do
we
get
them
to
experience?
Us
is
what
I'm
trying
to
get
to
and
and
US
putting
something
in
place.
That
shows
that
we're
making
an
effort
to
make
it
easier
to
deal
with
the
Belton
again
I,
don't
want
to
take
safety
out.
I
just
think
we
got
a
process
has
to
be
looked
at
differently
and
sped
up.
Somehow
we
don't
want.
L
To
be,
you
know
irresponsible
with
this,
and
just
we
we
by
looking
around,
we
want
to
be
competitive.
If
that
makes
any
sense,
if
someone's
going
to
is
looking
to
do
a
development
and
they've,
you
know
the
next
step
and
they're
looking
at
a
few
communities.
We
don't
want
us
to
be
at
the
bottom
of
that
list,
just
because
our
processes
take
the
longest,
and
so
we
think
that
we
can
be
competitive
with
it
with
our
neighboring
communities
on
these
timelines.
A
I
just
I
mean
other
communities
can
do
it
in
three
days
and
it
takes
us
sometimes
28
days
to
get
a
permit,
processed
and
I
I
experienced
it
myself.
I
mean
I've,
been
through
a
couple
different
things
here
in
the
last
couple
years
with
the
city,
so
I've
experienced
it
and
I
I
know
where
it
needs
to
change,
and
we've
talked
about
it
and
I.
Think
that's
part
of
the
change
and
I
think
we
need
to
that's
where
we
got
to
look
at
is.
D
B
L
I
just
want
to
make
sure
we
have
enough
support
for
this
before
we
put
a
whole
put
much
work
into
doing
a
resolution
on
this.
If
it's
not
going
to
be
met
with,
you
know
not
that
I'm
asking
for
a
yes
vote,
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
there's
that
at
least
the
open
mind
and
the
willingness
to
go
down
this
path.
B
L
A
L
And
we
gotta,
we
got
to
balance
it
right,
I
mean
we
want
to
be
development
friendly.
We
also
want
to
be
make
sure
we're
looking
out
for
the
interests
of
the
community
and
the
residents,
and-
and
so
we
don't
want
to
go
too
far
in
the
other
direction,
but
we
want
to
make
sure
that
that
we
at
least
I
think
we're
too
far
in
One
Direction
and
not
not.
A
L
L
N
Yep
as
I
think
you
all
are
aware,
we,
the
city,
does
own
112
Acres
at
the
West
End
of
Marquee
road,
which
is
the
Marquee
Business
Park.
The
city
has
been
marketing
that
quite
a
bit
over
the
last
several
years,
a
concept
plan
was
developed
in
2016,
with
a
preferred
option
that
included
a
mix
of
flex,
industrial
manufacturing
and
wholesale
building
sites.
It's
currently
zoned
Business
Park
restricted,
which
does
allow
office
and
light
industrial
uses.
N
However,
we
have
had
limited
interest
in
the
site
and
with
a
strong
growth
rate
in
the
community
and
the
need
for
a
wide
range
of
uses
and
Facilities.
We
just
are
asking
if
Council
has
any
thoughts,
if
we
need
to
revisit
the
Marquee
Business
Park
and
and
if
there's
any
other
ideas
or
uses
that
could
be
entertained
at
that
location.
D
A
A
The
only
thing
I
would
ever
add
on
to
that
is
trying
to
figure
out
how
we
can
improve,
because
that
road
was
supposed
to
connect
I
believe
all
the
way
out
to
Prospect
and
and
go
over
there,
because
I
think
we
need
to
have
some
type
of
a
an
entrance
into
that
off
of
prospect
or
58
or
150,
where
people
aren't
driving
down
North,
Scott
and
my
thoughts.
But
how
do
we
improve
prospect
on
a
Kansas,
Kansas
City
side?
A
D
A
Know
half
will
be
good
and
it's
like
the
other
155th
Street
half's,
good,
the
other
half's
not
now
I.
Just
we
were
back
in
2000
was
going
to
actually
build
a
road
back
there
to
encourage
it
and
put
water
lines
and
all
that
other
stuff,
and
we
just
never
did
it
ran
out
of
money,
but
I
think
it
would
be
a
great
I
mean
it'd,
be
nice
if
we
could
encourage,
maybe
smaller
business
park
or
or
anything
like
that
too
I
mean
I,
always
use
Green
Valley
as
an
example
off
the
highway
there.
A
Q
Evening
I
was
asked
to
explain
noise,
neighborhood
noise
complaints,
there's
some
common
misconceptions
that
I
think
I
might
be
able
to
clear
up
tonight
about
the
prosecution
of
Municipal
ordinances
for
peace,
disturbances
and
noise,
complaints,
peace,
disturbances
and
or
noise
complaints
are
not
violations
that
police
officers
can
sign
an
issue
themselves.
We
need
to
complain
it.
In
fact,
the
complainant
needs
to
be
able
to
testify
in
court
that
the
noise
did
not
allow
me
to
enjoy
the
Peace
of
my
residence,
and
this
is
a
common
law
standard
that
is
practiced
throughout
the
nation.
Q
As
a
result,
a
citizen
who
is
also
known
as
a
complaint
must
be
willing
to
prosecute
the
neighbor
who's,
often
the
offender,
and
in
these
types
of
instances
it
is
common
that
the
citizen
will
refuse
to
prosecute
and
ask
the
police
to
go
over
and
contact
the
neighbor
to
try
and
get
voluntary
compliance.
Most
of
this
is
due
to
a
fear
of
retaliation
or
ruining
a
neighborhood
relationship
with
their
neighbor
or
many
other
reasons,
and
so
officers
will
go
over
and
speak
to
the
offending
neighbor
to
see
if
they
can
gain
this
voluntary
compliance.
Q
This
practice
seldom
works
and
often
results
in
police
officers
going
repeatedly
back
to
the
same
neighborhood
disputes
and
neighbors
can't
work.
These
things
out
and
so
I
have
some
statistics.
I
think
you
might
might
illustrate
this
tonight
is
that
the
Belton
Police
Department
responded
to
167
calls
for
service,
with
only
four
citizens
willing
to
be
a
complainant
in
regards
to
noise
complaints
in
2021
in
2022,
there
were
125
calls
for
service,
with
only
two
citizens
willing
to
be
complainants
in
regards
to
noise
complaints.
Q
Today,
this
year,
the
police
department
has
responded
to
95
calls
for
service,
with
only
six
complainants
regarding
noise
that
wanted
to
be
complainants
against
neighbors
and
recently,
according
to
our
statute
or
I'm.
Sorry,
our
Municipal
ordinances
for
the
city
of
Belton,
which
is
in
line
with
a
lot
of
other
cities.
Q
Noise
is
under
section
14,
128,
a
noise
means
any
sound
which
annoys
or
disturbs
humans,
or
which
causes
or
tends
to
cause
an
inversion,
psychological
or
physiological
effect
on
humans
and
noise.
Disturbance
means
any
sound
which
number
one
endangers:
the
safe
safety
or
health
of
humans
or
animals,
two
a
noise
or
disturbs
a
reasonable
person
of
normal
sensitivities
or
in
dangers
or
injured
personal
or
real
property,
and
so
we
often
when
you're,
dealing
with
noise,
disturbances
or
complaints.
We're
often
looking
at
the
real
boundary
lines,
which
is
an
imaginary
line
along
the
ground.
Q
The
city
is
hereby
prohibited,
and
that
would
be
a
situation
where,
if
a
neighbor
complained
about
something
coming
from
another
neighbor's
house,
yelling,
music
and
we'll
get
more
in
specific
and
there's
ordinances
that
actually
outline
other
offenses,
that
would
be
something
that
the
police
officers
would
handle
or
the
person
could
be
a
complainant
on,
and
then
we
have
section
14,
130,
specific
prohibitions,
there's
prohibitions
against
a
animals
and
birds.
I
think
we've
discussed
that
before
in
City
Council
in
regards
to
animal
control
issues,
one
of
the
ones
that
we
deal
with
on
occasion
is
power.
Q
Tools
is
typically
comes
up
with
construction,
whether
it's
renovating
a
residence
or
new
construction
or
rehabbing,
and
that
that
there
can
be
no
operating
or
permitting
of
mechanically
or
electrical
power
saws,
drills,
Sanders,
Grinders,
lawn
or
garden
tool.
Paint
sprayers
or
similar
devices
used
outdoors
in
residential
areas
between
the
hours
of
10
pm
and
6.
00
am,
and
so
typically,
you
still
only
see
those
in
construction
purposes
every
once
in
a
while.
We
have
these
situations
that
arise.
Q
One
of
the
other
things
that
I
wanted
to
bring
to
attention
was
under
these
same
ordinance,
and
it
would
be
number
nine
which
is
radios,
television,
sets
musical
instruments
and
similar
devices
operating
or
playing
or
pronating
the
operation
of
the
plane.
Of
these
divide.
These
devices
is
typically
how
we
end
up
at
events
in
local
bars,
whether
doors
left
open
on
the
back
of
the
door
on
the
back
of
the
bar
and
then
that
sound
emanates
into
the
residential
area
behind
it,
and
then
these
areas
that
cannot
happen
between
10
pm
and
7
A.M.
Q
So
sometimes
when
we
bring,
or
we
authorize
special
events
or
extended
party
space
outside
of
these
facilities.
We
will
actually
put
in
that
special
event
that
you
cannot
provide
a
ban
between
10
pm
and
7
A.M,
and
it's
specifically
referencing
this
type
of
behavior,
or
this
type
of
thing
that
we're
trying
to
prohibit.
Q
this
this
one
comes
to
me.
Every
Monday
is
refuse
collection
by
Vehicles
a
lot
of
times
in
commercial
areas.
You
will
have
trash
trucks
because
they're
trying
to
pick
up
and
they're
trying
to
make
pickups
on
specific
days
for
neighborhoods
or
areas
of
the
city.
They
will
actually
try
to
get
out
early
and
collect
in
commercial
areas,
but
most
cities
have
ordinances
that
prohibit
that
type
of
be
that
type
of
pickup
between
8
p.m
and
7
A.M
in
the
morning,
and
so
a
lot
of
times.
Q
Q
If
my
alarm
clock
doesn't
go
on,
and
so
these
are
typically
some
of
the
things
that
officers
deal
on
a
repeated
basis
and
so
I
thought
I'd
provide
just
a
little
bit
of
explanation
of
what
we
what
we
deal
with,
but
I
think
by
far
the
statistics
kind
of
speak
for
themselves.
We
don't
get
a
lot
of
complaints,
come
complainants
that
want
to
actually
go
to
court
because
there
are
the
ones
that
will
actually
help
the
prosecutor
resolve
that
case.
Q
When
we're
going
on
to
somebody
else's
property
and
we're
accusing
him
something
and
we're
getting
involved
in
a
neighborhood
dispute
a
lot
of
times,
those
things
become
inflamed,
and
especially
when
we
go
back
repeatedly
over
a
period
of
time,
and
we
do
go
to
Great
Lengths
to
try
to
talk
people
into
making
that
next
step
to
be
a
complainant
to
try
to
avoid
those-
and
you
know,
almost
every
police
officer
in
their
career
will
tell
you
about
stories
about
going
back
repeatedly
to
neighborhoods.
Where
this
happens.
Q
M
Q
All
in
those
cases
can
go
to
court
and
the
prosecutor
really
likes
that,
because
that
is,
you
know,
basically
a
witness
and
then
lastly,
any
witnesses
that
we
can
establish
that
would
come
forward
a
lot
of
them
don't
want
to
come
forward
for
the
same
reasons.
They
don't
want
to
be
retaliated
against.
Q
They
feel
like
they
got
to
live
in
the
neighborhood
across
from
the
offender
and
it's
just
going
to
cause
problems,
and
so
we,
you
know,
we
hardly
ever
have
instances
where
and
if
you
know
somebody,
that's
that
has
been
signed
up
or
on
a
complaint
actually
retaliates.
But
it
is
a
large
thing
that
people
are
afraid
of,
and
sometimes
we
just
can't
get
them
over.
That
hump.
O
O
You
know
that
in
years
past
it
was
maybe
two
or
three
complainants
and
now
we're
halfway
through
the
year,
and
we
already
have
six
I
think
that
sounds
like
we've
been
doing
some
really
good
PR
and
making
sure
that
our
citizens
understand
that
if
we
want,
you
know
a
noise
violation
to
actually
be
taken
to
court
that
they
have
to
sign
that
complainant
paperwork,
so
I
think
it
sounds
like
we're
doing
a
good
job
in
heading
in
a
good
direction.
Thank
you.
O
H
It
is
there's
a
ticket,
it's
and
I,
so
I'm,
not
I'm,
not
downplaying
citizen,
to
Citizen
cooperation,
because
if
you
can't
just
go
to
your
neighbor
and
talk
to
him
and
fear,
and
without
fearing
for
your
life
or
fearing
for
retaliation,
then
maybe
you're
in
the
wrong
neighborhood.
But
if
that
is
actually
the
case
and
what
we're
coming
to
then
I
think
the
hard
scientific
way
to
do
it
is
to
have
a
number
and
big
cities
have
numbers
and
they're
police
officers
apparently
call
carry
noise
monitors.
Q
When
I
was
the
chief
of
police
in
Papillion
Nebraska,
their
ordinance
was
specifically
directed
around
residential
commercial
type
development
and
there
were
noise
levels
that
were
with
that
that
ordinance
that
created
that
was
created
back
in
the
late
70s,
and
it
didn't
take
into
effect
how
residential
and
Commercial
butts
up
next
to
each
other,
and
so
those
limits
sometimes
are
unreasonable
because
you
might
have
a
limit
of
35
or
you
know,
in
a
neighborhood.
But
then
it
joins
to
a
major
arterial
Street,
where
you
have
commercial
strip
mall,
and
you
have
a
bot.
Q
You
have
businesses
that
move
in
and
move
out,
there's
a
difference
in
the
type
of
noise
that
is
associated
with
a
McDonald's
as
opposed
to
a
Walmart
or
a
local
bar,
or
in
one
case
in
Papillion,
a
wine
bar
that
had
outdoor
entertainment,
and
so
those
things
are
very
difficult,
and
the
other
thing
is
is
that
noise
meters
by
themselves
are
very
expensive,
I.
Think
the
last
time
I
looked
at
purchasing
some
up
there
we
purchased
six
of
them.
They
were
like
fifteen
hundred
dollars,
a
piece
they're
just
like
radar
equipment.
Q
They
have
to
be
certified.
Every
year,
just
to
certify
them
as
like
450
dollars,
and
then
we
get
them
mailed
back
and
the
other
thing
is.
Is
that
a
lot
of
times
we
would
have
citizens
that
would
have
an
app
that
has
and
what
the
decibel
reading
was.
That's,
not
necessarily
a
good
reading
on
what
the
actual
decibel
is.
Q
That's
a
scientific
thing
like
you
just
said,
and
it
takes
specific
monitoring
and
you
have
to
be
trained
on
where
to
set
that
up,
and
we
would
set
that
up
at
the
real
property
and
to
get
a
successful
prosecution
in
court.
We'd
have
to
leave
the
device
in
place
for
over
30
minutes,
because
just
a
momentary,
sound
that
reaches
over
the
decibel
limit
of
35,
maybe
was
a
car
driving
by
it
could
have
been
a
horn
in
a
neighborhood
that
was
three
blocks
over
it's
very
hard
to
pin
down
exactly
what
that
sound.
H
H
So
there's
not
a
real
there's
a
lot,
not
a
real
want
here
for
hard
grade
things
but
hard
numbers,
but
saying
that
I
still
think
that
you
need
to
know
your
neighbor
and
I
and
in
my
case
I've
had
Neighbors
in
Houston,
who
are
real.
I
can't
even
use
the
word,
but
I
was
always
able
to
get
along
with
them,
and
I
was
able
to
go
over
there
at
one
o'clock.
In
the
morning
and
say,
please
turn
that
down,
and
they
did
so
anyway.
N
Staff
has
received
an
increase
in
inquiries
regarding
the
permeative
short-term
rentals.
Currently,
our
code
does
not
permit
tourism
houses,
which
would
include
short-term
rentals,
so
we
only
permit
hotels
and
bed
and
breakfast
in
certain
commercial
zoning
districts.
Several
cities
in
the
metro
area
do
allow
short-term
rentals
with
varying
regulations,
some
don't
have
any
regulations
and
they
allow
them
and
others
have
more
restrictive
regulations.
A
That
I
guess
my
question:
I
haven't
looked
into
this
very
much
with
other
communities,
but
do
they
make
it
a
certain
timeline
or
time
that
they
got
to
stay
like
a
week
at
a
time
or
is
it
a
nightly
thing?
Also
I
know
like
some
airbnbs
you
can
just
or
vrbos
you
can
rent
it
for
three
days
and
you're
done,
but
that's
typically
any
what
I
would
consider
more
of
a
tourist
area
or
do
we
set
up
a
geographical
area
where
it's
allowed
I
mean
that's
my
questions
so.
N
Yeah,
there's
there's
a
lot
of
different
ways
of
of
crafting
it,
so
some
cities
do
limit
it
to
the
to
certain
districts
or
property
sizes,
so
in
Lee's
Summit
they
only
allow
them
in
their
Old,
Town
or
historic
district
or
on
properties
that
are
more
than
an
acre.
So
you
can
limit
it
to
districts
or
neighborhoods.
You
could
also
limit
the
number
of
licenses
that
you
permit
and
that's
probably
something
that
would
be
necessary
in
this
situ
in
our
situation,
just
given
our
limited
housing
stock,
and
we
know
that
there's
demand
from
additional
housing.
I
I
I've
stayed
in
a
lot
of
airbnbs
and
brbos
and
I
really
like
them
and
I
kind
of
hate
to
see
us
totally
rule
them
out.
You
just
said
a
good
thing
there
that
Special,
Districts
or
something
I
think
would
be
something
we
could
look
at
or
should
look
at
or
something
because
I
would
hate
to
not
have
any
in
Belton,
because
there's
some
places.
A
A
F
O
I
really
do
like
the
idea
of
us
looking
into
it
more
and
definitely
getting
what
other
towns
our
size
and
even
places
like
Lee's
Summit,
that
are
kind
of
the
direction
we
want
to
go
as
far
as
tourism,
what
they
do
and
kind
of
get
all
that
information
together
to
be
able
to
decide
what
we
feel
is
best
for
us.
So,
instead
of
Reinventing
the
wheel,
you
know
look
at
what
other
people
are
doing.
I
know
that
Airbnb
sent
us
some
information
as
well.
M
Matt
I
think
you're
concerned
about
the
lack
of
available
housing
Stock
in
Belton
is,
is
a
pretty
big
one
I
also
in
my
mind,
I
have
a
Venn
diagram
of
short-term
rentals
or
rental
inspection
program.
We've
been
working
on
and
then
the
tiers
that
the
hotel
motels
go
through.
There's
going
to
be
some
overlap
in
terms
of
safety,
both
like
crime,
related
and
safety
of
the
housing
stock.
B
B
D
A
I
A
M
N
Probably
back,
it
was
back
in
the
springtime
when
Kansas
City
adopted
more
restrictive
regulation.
So
I
think
there
are
a
lot
of
operators
who
are
looking
to
get
out
of
Kansas
City
because
of
the
regulations
so
they're.
Looking
at
Suburban
communities
where
there
aren't
any
regulations
or
they
may
be
more
relaxed.
N
M
N
N
N
N
H
H
If
we
adopt
to
something
like
Kansas
City,
the
owner
has
to
be
there
three-fourths
of
the
year,
and
they
also
had
things
that
there
has
to
be
somebody
on
call
within
20
miles
or
something
the
owner.
Usually,
that
can
come
and
solve
differences
or
break
up
the
gunfight
or
whatever
it
is
that
might
bring.
L
You
know
what
I'm
saying
so
that
way
that
you
know
someone
lives
here,
and
they
just
want
to
make
a
few
bucks
off
of
a
hot
weekend.
That's
not,
and
they
don't
want
to
be
here,
then
I
don't
think
we
should
be
restricting
that
necessarily
because
that's
not
the
nature
of
us
wanting
to
restrict
this
is
to
protect
our
housing
stock,
not
to
limit
the
property
owners
and
their
ability
to
to
utilize
their
property.
So
to
speak.
J
Also,
just
to
kind
of
piggyback
off
what
councilmember
Powell
said:
Kansas
City
does
have
kind
of
a
two-track
sort
of
system
when
it
comes
to
their
airbnbs.
One
track
is
the
owner
occupied,
which
is
what
councilmember
Powell
stated,
which
you
know
I,
don't
think
it
even
requires
a
special
use
permit
or
anything
right.
As
long
as
you
are
in
your
house,
for
you
know
270
some
odd
days,
but
then
they
do
have
a
separate
track
for
the
investor
owned
sort.
L
M
So
if
they're
not
permissible
at
this
point-
and
we
already
have
one
listed-
do
we
report
that
to
Airbnb
and
they
say
that's
not
allowed
where
you
live
and
they
take
them
offline
or
do
you
know
what
I
mean
do
we
have
to
follow
up?
Because
now
that
the
conversation
is
happening,
people
are
going
to
try
to
get
them
online.
J
So
there
are
two
routes
that
we've
dealt
with
this
with
Airbnb
is
you
can
send
Airbnb
a
letter
saying
that
this
needs
to
be
removed
from
the
site?
They
will
do
it
sometimes.
Sometimes
they
also
will
just
ignore
you.
The
alternative.
Is
you
begin
the
zoning
violation
process
with
them
with
the
property
owner,
which
would
include
you
know
a
10-day
notice
that
they
have
to
do
that?
If
they
don't,
then
it's
a
500,
fine,
so
on
and
so
forth,
I
will
say.
N
And
we
and
we
have
used
code
enforcement
before
when
we
have
been,
have
had
one
reported
to
us
and
had
record
of
it.
So
you
generally
have
to
book
a
reservation
or
try
to
get
more
information
to
find
the
exact
address.
But
we
did
have
some
neighboring
Property
Owners
provide
us
with
that
information
to
be
able
to
get
that
one
shut
down
through
the
code
enforcement
process.
