Home My Public Portal AboutFall 2022 NewsletterMessage from the Mayor - How the City Makes Decisions I am coming up on 6 months as Mayor and re- flecting on two related topics that I campaigned on – creating an open and transparent City Hall and building trust in local government. I have found that these priorities are important to not only me, but also the aldermen and staff. I am bringing this up be- cause the Board of Al- dermen, the staff, and I recently spent the better part of two days discuss- ing how we can make open, fair decisions and, in the process, build trust within the community. The City and its elected officials make a lot of de- cisions that impact our residents. Things like what kind of de- velopment should be permitted where, what we spend your tax dollars on, what services and programs should we provide, and what streets get repaved first – among many other decisions. How we make these choices is important because it affects the quality of the outcomes, and how they are received and accepted by res- idents. If you trust the process, hopefully, you will trust the deci- sion, even if you don’t agree with it. What the Board, staff and I have agreed on is that there should be a clear, transparent, and understandable process for making deci- sions. This process will vary depending on the kind of decisions we are making, but what all the decision-making processes must have in common is: z The process must be clearly explained and understood z The process must explain the role residents play in making decisions z The process must reflect the City’s vision and standards z The process must be fair and rely on facts and data z We must follow the process We will continually review our decision-making pro- cesses to make sure they meet these standards and that you are clear how they work. This includes better, proactive communication, more information shared directly from City Hall, and clear language that is accessible to all. As we work to implement these changes I would encour- age you to provide us feed- back: Are we on the right track? Do you have sug- gested changes to the pro- cess? What can we do to build your trust in these processes? With this model in mind, we are working on improving and updating the following processes: z how we make planning and zoning decisions; z how we develop our annual budget; z how we decide what streets and curbs get fixed each year; z how we address requests for information or action; among others. All of this is about building trust, with you, in how we manage our city government. Are the processes fair? Are these processes in the best interest of the city? Can you rely on the city to follow these processes? In the end we will build your trust in our city government through action, putting these processes in place and applying them - and through dialogue between elected officials, city staff, and you, our residents. I’m thrilled to be your Mayor and help lead our community into this era of trust, accountability, and transparency.

Administration City starts preparing the 2023 budget The City is currently working on its 2023 Budget for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2023. The budget process will include three work sessions with the Board of Aldermen, all open to the public and streamed online, to discuss priorities for the upcoming year. The City has an annual operating bu dget of approximately $17.1 million across 16 governmental funds that represent municipal services including police, sanitary sewers, streets, parks, economic development and much more. City refines strategic priorities and identifies initiatives for 2022 In August 2022, the City held its annual strategic planning workshop. The purpose of the session was to refine Parkville’s strategic priorities, identify specific initiatives to advance for the 2023 budget year and beyond and strengthen the working relationships of the members of the governing body. The Mayor and all members of the Board of Aldermen participated, and de- partment heads and other senior staff attended to help answer questions and provide context for discussions. Platte County Transportation Tax Platte County is placing a measure on the Novem- ber 8th ballot to renew the road sales tax. The tax is currently 3/8 of a cent and the County is asking to renew it at the level of 1/4 cent. The County uses some of the tax for its needs, mainly it has been for bridges, and distributes the remainder to cities and road districts. Since the County has repaired most of its bridges, most of the proceeds will now go just to cities and road districts. This will allow the County to assure that no city or road district will receive fewer funds than it has always been receiving.

PAGE 3 CITY OF PARKVILLE - FALL 2022 NEWSLETTER Parks & Recreation New roundabout enhances area of English Landing Park One project that has significantly enhanced and beautified a section of English Landing Park is the Busch Drive Roundabout Improvements project. It improved the traffic circle located at the end of Busch Drive and included a new retaining wall, landscaping, hardscape and a water foundation feature. This project began in 2021 and the final touches are being added this fall. The last piece to this project is adding lights to the perimeter of the roundabout. The City contracted with Mid-States Forms, Embassy Landscape and Good Earth Water Gar- dens for this project. It not only included these contractors, but pulled together multiple City departments. Parks staff added fill dirt, installed drain tile, added rock and fabric and more. The Streets Division installed asphalt patching along the base of the circle drive. Tom Barnard, Parks Superintendent, had the vision to enhance this section of the park and oversaw the project from design to completion. Tom has been the Parks Superintendent since April 2006 and said that it is one of the projects he is most proud of. If you have not already seen the new landscaping, take a walk at English Landing Park and enjoy the new beauty at the Busch Drive roundabout. Additional lighting added to the riverfront trail in English Landing Park In March 2022, staff received the Platte County Outreach Grant in the amount of $17,350 additional trail lighting along the riv- erfront trail in English Landing Park. The City contracted with Four Star Electric to convert existing light fixtures and install new conductor poles. The cost for this project is $17,800.00 and is anticipated to be complete this Fall. TJ Jenkins creates another amazing chainsaw art piece in English Landing Park There was a large tree in English Landing Park that was damaged by a light- ning strike that staff wanted to turn into art. Chainsaw artist TJ Jenkins created a woodland animal house out of this damaged tree. TJ is still working on finishing touches to the base of the chainsaw sculpture, but it will be completed this fall. Be sure to stop by the East Shelter and check it out! First phase of improvements to Watkins Park will be completed this fall The 2022 Parks Sales Tax budget included $50,000 for im- provements to Watkins Park. In March 2022, the City received notice that it was awarded $26,000 in Platte County Outreach Grant funds to assist with the improvements. The improve- ments included the installation of a small parking lot, new shel- ter building, frontage and signage improvements, trail realign- ment and improved playground area. In September, a bid notice was released for repairs to the streambank at the park, along with improvements to the trail. This project is under review and will be completed this fall. City continues safety improvements to Pocket Park In late 2020, the Board of Aldermen approved the Pocket Park Master Plan which included several upgrades to the existing neighbor- hood park located at the intersection of 1st and Main streets. In 2022, the Board of Aldermen approved two construction agreements for the Pocket Park improvements. z South Stairs: The Board of Aldermen approved a construction agreement with SGI for the improvements to the south stairs and relocation of the Bill Grigsby statue. It is anticipated that this work will be completed in late fall. z Frontage: McConnell & Associates was awarded the contract for improvements to the frontage of the park. They will include the installation of a six-foot bump-out with bollards to protect the park and its patrons. The frontage improvements will be completed following the stairway improvements.

Household Hazardous Waste Program Through a partnership with the Mid-America Regional Council’s Solid Waste Management District, Parkville residents have a safe and convenient way to dispose of household hazardous waste. Proper disposal of household hazardous waste is essential for the safety of the public and health of the environment. There are two permanent drop off sites located in Lee’s Summit and Kansas City, Missouri. The closest site is located at 4707 Dera- mus Avenue in Kansas City, Missouri. Mobile events will be avail- able throughout the Kansas City metropolitan area. Visit the City’s website for more information about household hazardous waste disposal opportunities. Street Sweeping set for November In November, the City’s contractor will sweep all of the City’s streets and public parking areas, primarily focusing on areas in es- tablished neighborhoods with mature trees. Only those leaves that naturally fall into the street will be swept. As a reminder to resi- dents, DO NOT blow your leaves from private property into the street. Once scheduled, the specific dates will be advertised through social media and the City website. The City requests that residents refrain from parking vehicles on public streets and parking areas so the streets can be thoroughly cleaned. City completes annual street maintenance program Each year, the City programs funding for street maintenance that includes curb and sidewalk repair, mill and overlay, pavement marking and cracksealing. In July, the City completed its annual street maintenance program, which included milling and overlaying streets and replacing curbs and sidewalks throughout areas in N. National and Riss Lake and full depth patching in various areas around the City. A total of 1,800 lineal feet of curbs and 22,500 square yards of asphalt were replaced. See page 5 for tips on disposing yard waste. Emergency Snow Routes Be Aware! Parked vehicles impede snow and ice removal operations and cause serious traffic conges- tion. Overnight parking is restrict- ed on snow routes during inclement weather. The following streets are estab- lished as snow emergency routes within the City: z Main Street from 3rd Street to the railroad tracks z 1st Street from Main Street to Highway 9 z East Street from 2nd Street to the railroad tracks z Highway 9 in its entirety City receives awards for Outstanding Plan and Outstanding Student Project Each year, the Mis- souri Chapter of the American Planning Association (APA) re- ceives dozens of ap- plications from around the state that exempli- fy great planning, best practices, state-of-the- art planning methods, advance the science and art in planning, demonstrate significant achievements and long-term, measurable results and ongoing implementation ef- forts.

PAGE 5 CITY OF PARKVILLE - FALL 2022 NEWSLETTER Tips to Prepare for Winter from MoDOT Driving on snowy or icy roads requires special attention to safety. Although it's impossible to have ideal road conditions 365 days a year, there are certain precautions you can take to make winter driving safer. Here are some tips and suggestions to help you get ready for the hazards of winter. Visit the MoDOT website at https://www.modot.org/winter-driving-tips for more information. z If possible, postpone your travel until roads have been plowed, treated, and cleared. You don't want to slide off the road, and we don't want to plow around disabled vehicles. z Slow down and adjust your speed to the conditions. z Give snowplows plenty of room, and don't pass them. z Always wear your seat belt. z Remember that driving is most dangerous when temperatures are near 32 degrees. z Watch for other vehicles having problems with road conditions. z Keep mirrors, windows and lights clean; keep your lights on. z Don't pass other vehicles on or near bridges. z Keep your fuel tank at least half full. z If you don't feel comfortable driving, pull off of the highway and park at the first safe place.

FOPAS Feeling Good With FOPAS You may have heard scientists talk about oxytocin, which has been dubbed “the love hormone”. Science has long known oxytocin is an important chemical released in the human body that helps us bond with one another and form positive social relationships. But did you know this is also true for our pets? Researchers have found that dogs experience an average of a nearly 60% increase in oxytocin when their human plays with them for just 10 minutes and stroking a cat for a few minutes creates a rise in oxytocin in both the cat and the human! It seems we are biologically wired for connection to our fellow humans, and our fellow animals. Creating a daily ritual with your pet can go a long way to ensure their “happy hormone” stays on the rise. And if you aren’t able to have your own pet, consider volunteering at Friends of Parkville Animal Shelter (FOPAS). FOPAS is a no-kill shelter run almost exclusively by volun- teers and funded by generous donors. Learn more by visiting parkvilleshelter.com or stop by our open hours on Saturdays 10-12 at the dog house, and Saturdays 11-2 at the cat house.

PAGE 7 CITY OF PARKVILLE - FALL 2022 NEWSLETTER Community Development Platte County plans to extend Brush Creek Trail next spring or summer The Brush Creek Trail (10 ft. wide shared-use-path) currently begins at the Highway 45 roundabout at Brink-Meyer Road and runs south along Brink-Meyer Road. Platte County is funding a $1.7 million extension of the trail that will run through The Meadows at Creekside planned residential development, across Brush Creek via property owned by the Park Hill School Dis- trict, meander along Brush Creek through park land owned by Platte County and will commence at NW River Road. Platte County plans to award a construction bid for the project in December and anticipates construction to begin in spring or summer 2023. City receives funding for Citywide ADA Transition Plan In summer of 2022, the Mid-America Re- gional Council (MARC) announced a call for Planning Sustainable Places (PSP) proj- ects to advance their work on the creation of sustainable places. They had approximate- ly $800,000 that was available to Missouri communities across the metropolitan area. On June 17, City staff submitted an application for funding to support the creation of a citywide Americans with Disabilities (ADA) transition plan to ensure that individuals with disabili- ties have access to City facilities via City land and public right- of-way. On August 12, MARC’s Sustainable Places Policy Committee proposed providing $20,000 in federal funding to- wards Parkville’s project.City holds work session on next steps for a downtown quiet zone Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF) Railway Company operates along railroad track through downtown Parkville. Approximately 45 trains per day travel through downtown and over the years merchants, residents and visitors have expressed concerns about the level and frequency of train horn noise. The study will determine if a quiet zone, or wayside horns, can be used, along with appropriate next steps. The Federal Railroad Ad- ministration (FRA) allows communities to obtain relief from the sounding of train horns via establishment of a quiet zone. A quiet zone is a section of railroad line (at least 0.5 miles in length) which train horns are not routine- ly sounded due to the presence of supplemental safety measures such as lights, gates, constant wanting time devices, power-out indicators, channelization median barriers, or other infrastructure. On September 20, the Board of Aldermen held a work session to review the process for establishment of a quiet zone in downtown Parkville. They also discussed wayside horns, which are a less costly alternative to quiet zones. Staff is communicating with the cities of Riverside, Missouri and Merriam and Lenexa in Kansas as they have successfully implemented either quiet zones or way- side horns along railroad crossings in their communities. At the Board meeting on September 20, the Board approved a study that will determine if a quiet zone, or wayside horns, can be used, along with appropriate next steps. Members of the Board of Aldermen, MSPA and POTMCID experiencing wayside horns in Merriam, Kansas. (Aug 20, 2020) City amends Code for short-term rentals in residential districts On October 4, 2022, the Board of Aldermen approved an amendment to the Parkville Municipal Code regarding short- term residential dwelling rentals (RDRs) in residential districts. The new Code addresses the Board’s concerns that too many RDRs throughout the community could dilute the character of neighborhoods and impact the quality of life for our residents and community at large. In 2019, the Board of Aldermen recognized the growth and popularity of third-party short-term RDR platforms, such as Airbnb, VRBO, and Home Away, and reviewed regulations for Parkville. The Board of Aldermen, with a recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Commission, adopted an ordinance creating provisions and guidelines for short-term rentals in res- idential districts in September 2021. Since the adoption, three conditional use permits have been approved by the Board. One year later, the Planning & Zoning Commission and the Board of Aldermen proposed amendments to Parkville Munic- ipal Code Section 405.040, Subsection K set one year earlier, including: z Limiting the number to no more than four per ward; z Restricting the number of units that can be rented to one dwelling unit per property; z Requiring owners to occupy properties as their primary residence; z Requiring properties to have at least one dedicated on-site parking space (shall not include on-street parking in public right-of-way); and z Providing City staff administrative approval authority, provided they adhere to all the criteria in the Code.

For decades, the farmers market has been a staple in downtown Parkville, providing the community with local vendors selling their seasonal produce and handmade goods. The City and Confluence have gathered public input and held public meetings to identify the desires of the community for the future of the farmers market structure. The City has contracted BBN Architects to create preliminary design options based on the community input collected by Confluence. A farmers market small group committee consisting of City staff and representatives from the Board of Aldermen and Community Land & Recreation Board are working with both companies to ensure the iconic farmers market is replaced and there is a smooth transition for future seasons. A study indicated that the damaged structure is beyond repair. Once the two ongoing insurance settlements are concluded, the existing structure will be torn down and removed. Based on community and Board of Aldermen feedback, the new structure will be located in the same general area. The Saturday morning market will continue being held in the parking lot until the end of October this season. For information about participating as a vendor for the 2023 market season you can contact Shelley Oberdiek at (816) 200-0401 or by email at ParkvilleFarmersMarket@gmail.com.
