Harrisonville aldermen approve appointments, SRO agreement and two ordinances
Summary
The Board of Aldermen approved a resolution appointing Angela Kramer to the enhanced enterprise zone board, renewed a school resource officer agreement with Harrisonville Cass R‑9, and adopted ordinances to vacate an alley and update conflict-of-interest disclosures.
The Harrisonville Board of Aldermen on Aug. 5 approved a slate of routine but consequential items, including an appointment to a local enterprise board, a renewal of a school resource officer contract and two ordinances affecting property and ethics rules.
The council voted to appoint Angela Kramer to the enhanced enterprise zone board to fill a vacancy. Alderman Milner made the motion to approve and Alderman Turner seconded; the council approved the appointment and the resolution was recorded as Resolution 2024‑22.
The board also approved an agreement with the Harrisonville Cass R‑9 School District for school resource officers. The city administrator told the council the contract terms are the same as last year except for an increase in reimbursement amounts tied to merit raises and other adjustments. Alderman Davidson moved approval and Alderman Chaney seconded; the resolution passed and was recorded as Resolution 2024‑23.
On land-use matters, the council adopted an ordinance vacating a 15‑foot alley running north–south between Blocks 155 and 160 in the original town. Staff noted two objections on file — one affecting county-owned property and one from a private owner whose land is largely in the flood plain — but the council approved the ordinance on a roll-call vote, and Council Bill 40 became Ordinance 3700.
Separately, the council approved an administrative ordinance repealing Ordinance 3590 and enacting a revised procedure for disclosure of potential conflicts of interest and the timing for candidates to file financial statements with the city clerk. City staff said this update fulfills a biennial requirement under guidance from the Missouri Ethics Commission; the council suspended the rules and adopted the ordinance, recorded as Ordinance 3701.
The council approved routine minutes and closed-session minutes (one councilor abstained on the closed-session minutes for lack of attendance). A motion to adjourn passed at the meeting’s close.
What’s next: staff will return several continued items, including a right‑of‑way vacation hearing, at the Sept. 16 meeting.
