Special Council Meeting
Monday July 8, 2019
The Board of Aldermen held a special meeting on Monday July 8, 2019 at 6:00 PM. Those present included Mayor Greg Richmond, Alderpersons Calvin Wilson and Ed Tuomala. Also present were Police Chief Curt Drake and City Clerk Karla McNorton. Also present Linda Gill, J.R. Fisher, Beth Hallmark, Jerry Bates, Nick Smith, Roy Foust, William Weber, Kevin Keeney, Tammie Davis and Sally Carroll from the McDonald County Press.
Mayor Richmond called the meeting to order at 6:00 P.M.
Beth Hallmark gave the Board a letter and read it aloud. It reads: To the Mayor and Board of Alderman Please accept this written request as submission for the council’s consideration to fill the appointed temporary position of Southward Alderman that was recently vacated by Keith Kohley. Presently demi retired I bring to the table 20 years’ experience in the environmental industry which provided me the working knowledge in water and wastewater treatment, waste and hazardous waste management and disposal and industrial health and safety at the operational levels. During this time, I also became familiar with basic construction principals to the extent of assisting in treatment plant adaptations and logistic and the redesign of treatment parameters. Additionally, I have a working knowledge of City development standards and policies which I acquired while employed with the City of Tempe Building and safety and City Development Departments. I also held a position with the City of Ozona Texas Chamber of Commerce. In areas that I have a surface familiarity, I do possess level of knowledge to know what questions to ask and where to find the answers. I look forward to directly participating in the future of the City of Goodman and bring ideas that will support the growth of our City and the ability to adapt to the changes and improvements that this growth will present to the council and the citizens of Goodman. Ms. Hallmark did note that if she is appointed, she will run for the Southward Alderman position in the next election. Ms. Hallmark also noted that she had looked further into the City’s ordinances and found ordinance 115.040, which says: All officers elected to offices or appointed to fill a vacancy in any elective office under the City Government shall be voters under the laws and Constitution of this State and the ordinances of the City except that appointed officers need not be voters of the City. No person shall be elected or appointed to any office who, shall at the time be in arrears for any unpaid City taxes or forfeiture or defalcation in office. All officers, except appointed officers, shall be residents of the City.
Mr. Weber, Attorney for J.R. Fisher noted that Ms. Hallmark has a lot of qualifications and would make a good Alderman. Mr. Weber then noted that Ms. Hallmark had the forthright to look further into the ordinances and find that one. Mr. Weber also noted that the Board might want to consider waiting until the Mayoral contest is over. Mr. Weber noted that the Board did not have to fill the position immediately.
Linda Gill then informed the Board that she too is interested in the position of Southward Alderman. Ms. Gill noted that since the age of 19, she has owned her own business, been a manager of a successful restaurant in Las Vegas, was on the Board of Missouri State University for 13 years while teaching, which she had to leave due to the health of her husband. Ms. Gill is a proud citizen of Goodman who knows all her neighbors in the neighborhood she resides and still owns her own business, while caring for her husband. Ms. Gill noted that she was unfamiliar with the workings of the council until the first time she attended a meeting asking to put up a sign for her bakery business. If considered for the position, she would run for Southward Alderman at the next meeting.
Tammie Davis then noted that she was interested in the Southward Alderman position and she has been a resident since 2011. Ms. Davis has done Social Services work, she has been on the Advisory Board for the Salvation Army in both Newton and McDonald County and if appointed, she would run in the next election.
Mayor Richmond noted that he did not feel the City needed to wait for the lawsuit to be completed to fill the position. Mayor Richmond also noted that he felt the position should be filled as soon as possible, but the City could wait since there are three people interested in the position. Mayor Richmond asked that it be put on the next agenda to discuss and possibly appoint a new Alderperson for the Southward position. That will give the Board time to consider the three prospects before them.
Ald. Wilson moved to adjourn the meeting. Ald. Tuomala seconded. Ald. Tuomala and Wilson voted aye with 0 nays.

Unfinished business: Ms. Hallmark asked about the community building. Mayor Richmond noted that City Building Inspector Marcus Pratt said the foundation needs to be looked at and repaired. Mayor Richmond noted the meeting Thursday June 27, 2019 he had noted there was a CD available for $37,000.00 from the General Fund and he misspoke. That CD was a Water CD. There is a $94,000.00 General Fund CD that if the Board will commit a certain amount, we can use some of that to complete the community building. It was discussed to put it out for bid to get the foundation fixed, then draw up the specs for the building and then put it out for bid. It was asked if there was a timeline for completion. Mayor Richmond noted at this time, we do not have a timeline. The City is hoping to get the foundation out for bid in the next week or two. Ms. Hallmark then asked if it was going to be a shell or completed inside. Mayor Richmond noted the foundation is 40×70 feet and at the last meeting, it was discussed putting a building 30x50ish feet with a covered patio on the Southside and for vehicle loading and unloading that is handicapped accessible on the Eastside. The inside will have a kitchen and two handicapped accessible restrooms. Not sure how big the kitchen will be yet. The remaining open area will be for tables. This is a rough estimate; nothing is set in stone yet.
New business: Ms. Hallmark first thanked the Board for putting the radar speed sign that tells you your speed on Main Street. It has made a big difference. Ms. Hallmark then noted she was interested in the Southward Alderman position that is open. Ms. Hallmark then noted that she knows you have to be 18 years of age or older, not a felon and a resident of the City. Mayor Richmond then read the resignation letter from Keith Kohley that reads: Dear Mayor and Board of Alderman, I Keith Kohley respectfully turn in my resignation as Southward Alderman. I have accepted a position with Missouri Department of Transportation and will no longer be able to sit on the Board as it is a conflict of interest. I have enjoyed being a part of the Board and plan to continue as Asst. Emergency Management Director. Thank you for your understanding in this matter. Respectfully,
Keith Kohley.
Mayor Richmond then read the qualifications for the opening. No person shall be an Alderman unless he/she be at least eighteen (18) years of age, a citizen of the United States, an inhabitant of the City for one (1) year next preceding his/her election, which Mayor Richmond noted that to mean one (1) year prior to when Ald. Kohley was elected, being April 3, 2017, and a resident at the time he/she serves, of the ward from which he/she is elected. Mayor Richmond also noted you need to have proof that your taxes were paid up to that point. Mayor Richmond noted that anyone interested in the position with those qualifications should bring the proof of taxes paid to the City Hall prior to a Special Meeting that is scheduled during the discussion for Monday July 8, 2019 at 6:00 P.M. Mayor Richmond noted the position needs to be filled. The position will be until April of 2020 when the next regular scheduled election is held. If you want to continue as the Southward Alderman, you would need to put your name on the ballot.
Department head reports:
Curt Drake: The rear brakes are fixed on the Expedition and the front brakes need work, but he hasn’t received an estimate yet. Curt noted that he has not received an estimate for the graphics and he is not concerned about getting it yet as the brakes are more important.
Curt then noted that he needed to attend a required class on reports that the State is making changes on. The class is in Kansas City August 29 and August 30, 2019. He will need to stay in a hotel August 28 and August 29, 2019 and leave on the 30th after class. The class is free, so it will be for my hotel and mileage. Chief Drake noted that he found two hotels in the area. One hotel is for $104.00 a night and the other for $149.00 a night. He would like to get the one for $104.00 a night, but needs to get it reserved before the rooms are gone. Ald. Wilson moved for Chief Drake to reserve a room in Kansas City for August 28 and August 29, 2019 for the class in Kansas City. Ald. Johnson seconded. Ald. Johnson, Tuomala and Wilson voted aye with 0 nays.
Denis Kolb: 5 more days of rain
David Brodie: Brodie gave the board a copy of paperwork and noted that the top sheet is a letter responding to the violations from Mr. Dang from Missouri Department of Natural Resources. The City needs to get the Autodial telemetry alarm systems for the Southeast and Southwest lift stations. Brodie noted he went to several towns nearby and Anderson has a Sensaphone Autodial telemetry alarm system that Brodie really liked. He found it online at Amazon for $373.00 each. The other two were $995.00 and $1,945.00 each, without freight. After a brief discussion, Ald. Wilson moved to have Mr. Brodie purchase the Sensaphone Autodial telemetry alarm systems for $747.00. Ald. Johnson seconded. Ald. Johnson, Tuomala and Wilson voted aye with 0 nays.
City Supervisor Brodie then explained that the pump that was removed from the lift station a few weeks ago was going to cost $4,958.00 to repair and a new one from Enviroline is $6,700.00, with a two year warranty. For $1,700.00 more, it would make sense to purchase a new one with a warranty. After a brief discussion Ald. Johnson moved to approve purchasing a new pump from Enviroline for $6,700.00. Ald. Wilson seconded. Ald. Johnson, Tuomala and Wilson voted aye with 0 nays.
City Supervisor also noted the CCR (Consumer Confidence Report) is completed.
Meghan Sexson: Not present.
Karla McNorton: City Clerk McNorton noted that she would be out for surgery starting July 10, 2019 and Asst. City Clerk Cornwell needs off for a medical issue on July 17, 2019. Tax collector Meghan Sexson would be able to cover that day, if the Board approves, for $10.00 an hour, as she has done in the past. City Clerk McNorton also noted that the past due bills are done on 17th of the month and will need to be pushed back to the 18th, as Tax Collector Sexson does not know how to do them. Ald. Wilson moved to approve Meghan Sexson working July 17, 2019 at $10.00 an hour. Ald. Johnson seconded. Ald. Johnson, Tuomala and Wilson voted aye with 0 nays.
Ald. Wilson moved to approve moving the past due day from July 17, 2019 to July 18, 2019. Ald. Tuomala seconded. Ald. Johnson, Tuomala and Wilson voted aye with 0 nays.

Mayor Richmond called the meeting to order at 7:02 P.M.
The Board discussed the minutes from the special council meeting June 27, 2019. Ald. Tuomala moved to approve the minutes from the special council meeting held on June 27, 2019. Ald. Wilson seconded. Ald. Tuomala and Wilson voted aye with 0 nays. Ald. Johnson abstained.

The Board discussed the three prospects for the Southward Alderman position.
Mayor Richmond asked Ald. Johnson if he was up to speed on the candidates. Mayor Richmond feels it is his duty to appoint someone into the slot when we have able and willing people to take on the roll. Ald. Tuomala wanted to make sure all candidates were eligible for the appointment. After a brief discussion Mayor Richmond felt like Linda Gill would be a good fit. Ald. Tuomala felt Beth Hallmark was more qualified for the position. Ald. Johnson and Wilson agreed. Mayor Richmond went with the consensus of the group and asked for a motion from the board to appoint Ms. Hallmark. Ald. Tuomala moved to appoint Beth Hallmark as Southward Alderman. Ald. Johnson seconded. Ald. Johnson, Tuomala and Wilson voted aye with 0 nays. Before reading the Oath of Office Tammie Davis wanted to know if Ms. Hallmark needed a business license since she rents out a room in her house. Asst. City Clerk Cornwell said when City Clerk McNorton gets back we will look into it and let Ms. Hallmark know. Ms. Hallmark read the Oath.
New business:
Tammie Davis wanted to know if the city had an attendance policy for elected officials to be at meetings. Mayor Richmond said he is not aware of one. Chief Drake noted that the Judge is an elected official and he is hardly ever at a council meeting.
Mr. Weber said he was here on behalf of his client J.R. Fisher and that the board had all been given a copy of the unsealed ballots and that the ballots provided were all votes for his client. Mr. Weber feels that when this goes to court the Judge will decide in favor of his client and that the votes will count. Mr. Weber wanted to ask for Mayor Richmonds resignation so they could avoid having to go to court and save money for all parties involved. Mayor Richmond respectively declined to resign. City Attorney Cooper acknowledged Mr. Weber explaining to him that it is unethical to address a party to an ongoing case without their council present. Mr. Weber agreed and said that since we are at an impasse that his business is done. Mr. Fisher said that since his attorney could not speak he wanted to ask the Mayor for his resignation. Mayor Richmond once again respectively declined. Mayor Richmond noted that the election goes thru county and they then send a certified copy for the City Clerk to read. This is the same process they have used for many years. Mayor Richmond said he will keep his seat till he is told legally otherwise. City Attorney Cooper then informed the Mayor of his rights on speaking without his attorney present. Mayor Richmond opted to invoke his right to remain silent on the subject from that point on. Ald. Tuomala wanted to state that he believes Mr. Fisher is convinced the votes in question will be allowed to be counted once the recount has been ordered since there was a less than a 1% margin between the election results. Ms. Gill stated that this is a county matter as of right now not a city matter and wanted to know if the subject could be dropped so we could contend with actual city business.
It was then asked where the person doing the water / sewer study rate got the numbers from. Mayor Richmond noted that they get the numbers from the water program.
Mr. and Mrs. Watson wanted to know about missing street signs and who they needed to talk to about a street light out. City Supervisor informed them that they had been ordered and received and that he and his helper were in the process of getting them all replaced when they had the time. He also told them that they could call City Hall at any time to report a light out.
Department head reports:
Curt Drake: Noted he had talked to Aaron about doing the new vinyl on the SUV and that Aaron would be willing to do it for the same price as he did the Truck. Chief Drake also noted that he is still waiting to hear back about the estimated cost for the brakes. Ald. Wilson asked that we hold off on the vinyl till next meeting in hopes that we will have a price for the brakes by then. Chief Drake agreed as he feels the brakes are more important as well. Chief Drake was asked if we have an officer on duty of an evening. Drake stated he will let the council address that question. Ald. Tuomala noted that Officer David is on extended leave right now. Ald. Tuomala then asked about a reserve officer. Chief Drake noted that due to the restrictions and budget at this time we do not have one. Chief Drake also noted that reserves can be asked to work up to 20 hours without pay and he requires this, so unfortunately it is very hard to find someone willing to work for nothing. He did note that county does do their very best to provide cover for us but they have a lot of area to cover and are not always available either.
Denis Kolb: Nothing to Report.
David Brodie: Meter lids are being run over by citizens and the city could not keep absorbing the cost to replace them every time. Ald. Johnson wanted to know that if we give citizens ample time to be notified that of this date the city will start charging the land/home owner for every lid needing to be replaced. Mr. Brodie was asked as of right now what is the approximate number of lids needing replaced, he stated right off hand he could probably replace around 40.
Mr. Wilson on Whitmore Street wanted to know what could possibly be done around his property to help with the flooding. Mr. Wilson wanted to know if the road could be cut down or a spill way added in or a possible third whistle. Mr. Brodie noted that he did not believe a third whistle would help. He also stated that unfortunately Mr. Wilsons’ house is in a low spot. Mr. Cooper said he would be glad to ride with Mr. Brodie over to Whitmore Street to take a look at what could possibly be done. Mr. Wilson said he would appreciate that because all he wants is to hopefully find a way to divert the water. Mr. Brodie did say that depending on what could possibly be done it may require calling dig rite to have all lines marked before a final decision could be made on the best way to proceed.
Meghan Sexson: Noted that the tax sale ad will run in the newspaper for the next 3 weeks and that the tax sale will be the last Monday in August at 10 a.m.
Dana Cornwell- Asst. City Clerk Cornwell mentioned the Municipal Elected Officials Training July 30, 2019 and asked if any members of the Board would like to attend. Cornwell noted that the training is in Aurora, MO and is $15.00 to attend. After a brief discussion, Ald. Wilson moved to approve Ald. Johnson, Ald. Tuomala, and Ald. Hallmark to go to the Municipal Elected Officials Training July 30, 2019 in Aurora for a total of $ 45.00.
Ald. Hallmark seconded.
Ald. Johnson, Hallmark, Tuomala and Wilson voted aye with 0 nays.

Also present were Ray Villa, Meghan Sprenkle, Darrell Epperson, Marshall Long, Keith Estes, J.R. Fisher and Kent Hartman.
Mayor Richmond called the meeting to order at 6:05 P.M. and noted we did not have a quorum. He has contacted the other council members to remind them. Ald. Wilson arrived at 6:30 P.M.
The Board, Goodman Betterment Club and citizens discussed plans for rebuilding the Community Building. Mayor Richmond noted he wanted this meeting to be less formal. City Supervisor Brodie noted the foundation had a crack that goes across 70 feet. It was discussed that the City Building Inspector Marcus Pratt believes the foundation for the community building needs some work before putting a building on it. Mr. Pratt believes by drilling and putting rebar into the existing foundation and then the footing around it, then it should be good to build on. City Supervisor Brodie noted that Ryan Hitt and Darren Widener believe a footing needs to be put around it as well. It was discussed whether a footing was needed and the funds for it. Mayor Richmond noted that the City needs to go by what the City Building inspector says. The City has to follow the rules of the building code just like everyone else does. Mayor Richmond then noted that at previous council meetings it was discussed that the City may need to add additional funds to complete the community building and the City has a General Fund CD for $37,000.00 that can be cashed in to complete the building if needed. There was no further discussion on the foundation.
The Board, Goodman Betterment Club and citizens then discussed floor plans for the community building. Mayor Richmond noted that he had an idea for the layout and explained he would like to have the South end closest to the road covered like a porch and have chairs out there for residents to sit on; visit and watch the traffic go by if they want. Mayor Richmond then noted that on the East side you can cover it and have the people drive up to the door and let out passengers if it is raining or for a fancy event. It was then discussed putting a ramp into it when the concrete is poured for the handicapped. It was also discussed where the restrooms and kitchenette would be located and even putting in a janitor’s closet, if desired. After additional discussion of a tree needing removed before construction began, it was agreed to have a bid put out for a footing around the existing foundation. It was also agreed to have specs of the layout of the inside of the building just discussed done so it can be put out for bid and to make sure Mr. Pratt will approve those plans. There was no further discussion on the community building.
Ald. Wilson made a motion to adjourn the meeting. Ald. Tuomala seconded. Ald. Tuomala and Wilson voted aye with 0 nays.
