Memorandum
Date: August 5, 2022
To: Mayor Anthony Heddlesten
Members of the City Council
From: City Administrator Kent Royster
Re: Administrative Notes (July 22-August 5, 2022)
Greeting all,
1. Bike Repair Station
As been installed and is working.
2. Letter of Credit Update
Woods Development has paid invoice and the City of Riverdale has received a
updated Letter of Credit for 620,000.00.
3, Maintenance Worker
The Samuel Hollars has officially submitted is resignation letter. Sam’s last will
be August 19th. You will find it attached to this report. I am seeking approval to
publish and recruit a new employee. Attached is a the updated Job Ad for this
position. Please review the Ad make suggestions and comments. In addition, is
the Job description for your review. I plan to use indeed.com, qctimes.com and
the City’s website as well as our three locations.
3. Appraisal of Property
I am waiting for a current owner to grant our appraiser access to the property.
4. Review of Financial Review
I have no updates. However, I do think that I will have a quick presentation that

Administrative Summary
August 5, 2022
5. Sewer Rates Update
After, the last meeting the consultant re-performed their analysis. You will find
an updated analysis.
6. Resolution 52-2022 Fenno Drive
We have the abstracts. MSA-PS feels that the putting the legal descriptions could
run over $3,000 so has a consequence of General Service Agreement we need a
separate contract. This is the next step to make sure that all easements and
ROWs are correctly documented and recorded.
7. Ordinance 2022-2 DRAFT Mowing Ordinance
Under no circumstances should this be considered a final or proposed Ordinance.
This needs your review and consideration. I am bringing you options for your
consideration. This is big stretch for the existing ordinance.
8. Resolution 2022-50
This awards the General Services Agreement to MSA-PS. This contract is used to
handle the “little things’ that are asked for MSA-PS for example Fenno Dr.
questions.
Generally, if it is a project we will have a separate contract. This is an excellent
way to track and control expenses.
As always contact me for questions.

of supervisors shall determine as to each tract of real estate the actual cost of labor and
materials used by the commissioner in cutting, burning, or otherwise destroying the weeds,
the cost of serving notice, and of special meetings or proceedings, if any. To the total of
all sums expended, the board shall add an amount equal to twenty-five percent of that total
to compensate for the cost of supervision and administration and assess the resulting sum
against the tract of real estate by a special tax, which shall be certified to the county auditor
and county treasurer by the clerk of the board of supervisors, and shall be placed upon the
tax books, and collected, with interest after delinquent, in the same manner as other unpaid
taxes. The tax shall be due on March 1 after assessment, and shall be delinquent from April
1 after due. However, when the last day of March is a Saturday or Sunday, such amount shall
be delinquent from the second business day of April. When collected, the moneys shall be
paid into the fund from which the costs were originally paid.
