Item 5. on the Agenda. CONSENT AGENDA.
Following the Clerk’s reading, Councilman Carol Rudi
stated she had a question regarding Resolution No. R-03-88 adopting a “Positive
Performance Management Policy” for the City Employee Handbook, and asked if
there were any major changes in the draft copy given to Council members.
Human Resources Administrator Charlene Leslie
replied there is not a major change; the wording that was added is specific to
the application under the first, second, and third level notices. The phrases added are “should an employee choose
not to commit to change their performance or not commit to owning their
performance, then that action could still take place.” Ms. Leslie continued by saying an example
would be under the third level notice, subheading “application,” the sentence
reads now “if an employee refuses to make a total commitment to meeting
expectation, his or her failure to do so may result in immediate discharge.”
Councilman Bill Cross stated he would like to bring
to Council’s attention the Financial Reports for the month of October
2003. He noticed in the Financial
Report that sales tax was down six percent from a year ago. Councilman Cross asked Finance Director Cash
Sweiven if he recalled what the sales tax was the month before and if it was
down six percent or close to that.
Finance Director Cash Sweiven replied the City’s
sales tax was not down six percent last month, it was down three percent. Sales tax was down six percent this month
due to one business in town taking a one time credit or recaptured some sales
tax from previous years. That is the
reason there is a decrease from three percent to six percent.
Bill Cross moved to approve the Consent Agenda as
read. Councilman Carol Rudi

Item 6. on the Agenda. COMMUNICATIONS
FROM THE AUDIENCE.
Linda Blocker, 221 N. Hickory Circle, began by saying that two
weeks ago several volunteers helped to clean up tornado debris from the south
end of the Hickory Hills development, which some may recognize as the Sharhag
property. Ms. Blocker introduced fellow
neighbors that were present at the meeting:
Nancy and Kenny Bell, 5801 North Broadway; Art Pfaff, 205 NW 59th
Street; and Mike Short, 5813 North Broadway.
Ms. Blocker stated as a neighborhood they would like to thank Art
Hammen, Executive Director of Gladstone Neighbors Helping Neighbors, for organizing
the project. Ms. Blocker shared
pictures that Mr. Hammen had taken the day of the clean-up. Ms. Blocker continued by saying the she and
her neighbors would like to thank the City of Gladstone for the use of two dump
trucks, and a front loader, and also expressed thanks to the two City employees
who assisted in the clean-up. Ms.
Blocker stated that even with the assistance of Mr. Hammen, the volunteers, and
the neighbors, the work probably could not have been accomplished without the
front loader, which picked up approximately 15 loads.
Ms. Blocker thanked Mayor Les Smith, saying this
showed the Gladstone City Council really does care about how the City looks,
and as one drives down North Broadway it is so nice to see the landscape on the
right hand side. Ms. Blocker thanked
Assistant City Manager Scott Wingerson for his assistance in coordinating
efforts with Gladstone Neighbors Helping Neighbors and the City. Ms. Blocker remarked her husband, Bob
Blocker, was also in the audience.
Ms. Blocker read notes from neighbors who were not
able to attend, and began with a note from Danny and Teresa Velasquez, 308 NW
59th Street, who thanked the City for “their kind and caring efforts
in helping the Hickory Hills neighborhood in their clean-up efforts from the
tornado,” and wrote “it was greatly appreciated and will not be
forgotten.” Michael Hallisey and John
Stump, 217 North Hickory Circle, wrote the work looks “awesome” and said thank
you very much for the assistance. Joe
and Sandy Spruytte, 305 NW 59th Street, wrote a card offering a “big
thank you.” Jon and Carol Herbig, 201
NW 59th Street, wrote they were sorry they could not be at the City
Council meeting, but asked their gratitude be extended to everyone at the City
and all the volunteers for all the work they did. “It was hard work but what a wonderful opportunity to get to know
some of the neighbors and the City better.”
Ms. Blocker stated John and Kay Lazar, 213 North Hickory Circle, are
elderly and were not able to attend the meeting, but asked their appreciation
be extended to the City. Ms. Blocker
introduced Keith Roney, 202 North Hickory Circle, who was present in the
audience, and stated almost all the neighbors of Hickory Hills were either present
at the Council meeting, or wrote a note of thanks.
Councilman Bill Cross stated he and Councilman Wayne
Beer would like to mention that many of the Hickory Hills neighbors are
teachers or educators and have worked hard their entire lives.
Mayor Smith stated he did not know the City employees
who assisted with the Hickory Hills cleanup, but asked Assistant City Manager
Scott Wingerson to please pass along thanks for what a wonderful job they
did. Mayor Smith reported the
neighborhood prepared a lunch and the employees joined in with neighbors and
volunteers to enjoy the meal. Mayor Smith stated credit for the successful
project goes to Mr. Wingerson and Mr. Hammen.
Art Hammen, 7117 North Norton, began by saying he was
present at the Council meeting to represent Gladstone Gladstone Neighbors
Helping Neighbors, and thanked Ms. Blocker for her kind words. The project in Hickory Hills was a classic
example of Gladstone Neighbors Helping Neighbors working together with members
of the neighborhood to solve problems.
Without the assistance of the City and the equipment, this would not
have been possible. The City’s
participation is certainly appreciated.
Mr. Hammen expressed his appreciation to all who
have supported the Mayor’s Holiday Tree Program, and reported in the fall and
winter of 2000, Gladstone Neighbors Helping Neighbors launched a weatherization
and insulation campaign at which time twenty two Gladstone homeowners were
provided assistance. Volunteers
reinsulated attics, which is a primary source of heat loss and heat gain. Mr. Hammen stated caulking, weather
stripping, water heater insulation, blankets and similar energy saving measures
were also provided to those in need.
These weatherization and insulation improvements totaled more than $15,000
and are providing long-term relief from high energy bills for both winter and
summer months. This is a benefit that
will be enjoyed by Gladstone residents for years to come.
Mr. Hammen said that he present tonight to announce
that again this year Gladstone Neighbors Helping Neighbors will offer a
weatherization and insulation program.
There have been significant increases in the cost of natural gas this
fall, and to help combat these cost increases, Gladstone Neighbors Helping
Neighbors has negotiated an agreement with Kansas Home Insulation to reinsulate
attics at a savings of about one half of the regular price. Mr. Hammen reported applications are now
being accepted and will be approved based on current state income guidelines. Applications will be accepted as long as
funds are available.
Mr. Hammen stated previously a grant was received
from the City; this time, however, services will be provided from Gladstone
Neighbors Helping Neighbors own resources.
The proceeds from the Mayor’s Holiday Tree Program will help to fund
this program. All improvements are made
at no cost to the homeowners. Mr.
Hammen explained the goal is to provide long-term relief by assisting in
providing reduced energy consumption both winter and summer for Gladstone
homeowners. In addition, each home will
be checked for working smoke detectors and smoke detectors will be installed as
needed. Mr. Hammen encouraged everyone
to get the word out about this service.
The biggest challenge to helping people of Gladstone is to let them know
that this service is available to them.
Applications may be submitted to Gladstone Neighbors Helping
Neighbors. Mr. Hammen thanked the City
Council members and the City for their support, and especially for supporting
this year’s Mayor’s Holiday Tree Program.
Councilman Bill Cross asked if a City staff member
could prepare a press release for Mr. Hammen.
City Manager Kirk Davis replied he would get with
Mr. Hammen regarding a mid-year press release for Gladstone Neighbors Helping
Neighbors, which should come directly from Gladstone Neighbors Helping
Neighbors.
Mayor Pro Tem Wayne Beer stated he has had the great
fortune to volunteer with Gladstone Neighbors Helping Neighbors and has found
it to be a great organization, and is proud to have had involvement with
it. Councilman Beer remarked he was not
at the recent storm damage clean-up in Hickory Hills, as he was not aware of
it, but feels it is a very good thing and as a citizen of Gladstone, it is much
appreciated.
Councilman Carol Rudi stated she is happy the
Gladstone Neighbors Helping Neighbors program is being made possible without
the need of a City grant.
David Horax, B & H Automotive, stated he and Mark Bossert
are the owners of B & H Automotive in Gladstone, which also has a tow
service, and were present to comment on the Tow Service contract for which bids
have recently been requested. Mr. Horax
stated his company has all the necessary means as Glad Rents to meet the
required response time. Mr. Horax
reported they have a fenced lot with video recording on the lot, and feels the
camera is as much of a deterrent as dogs.
Mr. Mark Bossert provided copies of the current Tow Contract
to Council members, and in referencing the price sheet, asked how important the
price of services is to City Council members and the City, not to mention
honesty and integrity. Mr. Bossert
pointed out on the contract the definitions of a Police-Ordered Tow. Mr. Bossert pointed out Item D. of the
contract, which discusses tow charges, and referred back to the price sheet,
and asked how much a tow should be. In
Mr. Bossert’s opinion, based on the existing contract, any type of tow should
be $15.00. Mr. Bossert pointed out on
the second page of the contract, under Item 14., the contractor is required to
provide a monthly report, which indicates the release and/or disposition of
each vehicle towed by the contractor.
Mr. Bossert asked Law Enforcement Captain Mike Couch
if he had seen the price sheet before tonight.
Captain Couch replied, yes. Mr.
Bossert pointed out Item 13. in the contract which states the contractor shall
provide a Towing Service Information Sheet, which includes tow costs, to all
customers. Mr. Bossert stated he has
not visited a City Council meeting previously, when the tow contract has been
renewed. He has been in business for 20
years, and the only reason one can stay in business is to run an honest
business. Mr. Bossert said Glad Rents
bought tow trucks six years ago and are handed the City’s tow contract. Mr. Bossert stated he felt his business is
in the best location for a tow service in Gladstone, as he is at the far end of
the City, with no surrounding residential homes. Noise is not a problem and ingress and egress is very convenient.
Mr. Bossert shared a copy of a tow bill from Glad
Rents he received from one of his customers, and pointed out in the upper
corner there is written GPS for Gladstone Public Safety, which Mr. Bossert felt
indicated a police ordered tow.
Mr. Horax asked City Council members to compare the
prices on the bill to the price sheet’s listed amounts to be charged for a
tow.
Mr. Bossert stated he has had several people call
him in the last week saying they had called Glad Rents inquiring into towing
costs and were told the charge for towing is $30 and there is a $10 per day
storage fee. The tow bill, Mr. Bossert
said, shows $20 for a single day storage.
Mr. Bossert continued by saying he has seen $230 or $240 tow bills from
Glad Rents for police ordered tows, where the insurance company would be paying
the bill. Mr. Bossert suggested the
City demand copies of the tow bills to see what is being charged to citizens.
Mr. Horax stated tow fees would also be shown in the
required monthly reports. Mr. Horax
stated he and Mr. Bossert would be happy to provide their driver’s licenses for
clearance, but they have no other tow truck drivers. They have the trucks and can always get the drivers. They would have to get drivers of good
character that their insurance carrier would cover. Mr. Horax explained they do not want to hire people unless they
can put them to work.
Mayor Smith stated, as Mr. Horax and Mr. Bossert are
aware, information regarding the City tow service was provided by the Public
Safety Department to City Council members at an Open Study Session earlier in
the evening. City staff will be asked
to research the concerns Mr. Horax and Mr. Bossert have brought up, and this
issue will be on the next City Council meeting’s agenda.
Item 7. on the Agenda. COMMUNICATIONS FROM THE
CITY COUNCIL.
Councilman Joe Evans thanked the neighbors of
Hickory Hills, Art Hammen of Gladstone Neighbors Helping Neighbors, and City
staff for working together to beautify a section of our City that was in dire
need of clean-up. This was another
example of how great citizens of Gladstone work with City staff with the
resources Gladstone has to beautify our city.
Councilman Bill Cross commended Finance Director
Cash Sweiven and his staff in providing such valuable information on the City’s
financial status. Councilman Cross
stated it is great to have such a competent person in his position. Councilman Cross thanked the people who
participated in the Boards and Commissions interviews last week, and stated it
is wonderful there are so many people in our City willing to give of their time
and talent. It is great to have
outstanding people come forward to volunteer to serve on any Board or Commission. Council Cross concluded by saying a former
Board member, Bill Duncan, passed away recently. Mr. Duncan worked so hard for the City for so many years and will
be missed. He was a great gentleman.
Mayor Pro Tem Wayne Beer stated he had no comments at
this time.
Mayor Les Smith stated Finance Director Cash Sweiven is so
proficient at what he does, he presented financial seminars at the Missouri
Municipal League conference a couple of years ago. Mayor Smith thanked Director Sweiven and his staff for all their
efforts.
Mayor Smith mentioned this is the 51st
fall season the City has received phone calls about people blowing leaves into
the streets and storm drains, and asked what is being done this year to educate
our residents.
City Manager Kirk Davis replied a dedicated program
has not been discussed nor have press releases been sent encouraging people not
to blow leaves into the street or storm drains. It has been epidemic each year.
The City has cleaned the worst areas of leaves this fall. City Manager Davis stated there has not been
a prescribed program this year to tell people not to blow their leaves into
streets or storm drains.
Mayor Smith suggested a press release be sent
regarding this issue. Mayor Smith
invited everyone to the Mayor’s Holiday Tree Lighting Ceremony, Tuesday,
November 25th, beginning at 6:00 PM, at the First Bank of Missouri
on Northeast Antioch Road. Three school
choirs, past mayors and council members will be present.
