upon its first reading and proceed with the second reading. Motion seconded
ZERGER & MAUER LLP
by Councilman Quibell carried after discussion with five votes Aye and one
NO vote by Councilman Carter.
DISCUSSION Councilman Carter said he was troubled by how much money is being
committed to this project; that ultimately the Council wanted CJC to cover all
of Blue Springs. His objection was the approach on how the City is reaching
this goal. He proposed a more cost-effective alternative. He also stated that this
process would be heavy lifting by the citizens living with the Prairie Township
District and that it could fail if some did not sign a petition. Councilman
Culpepper stated that Prairie Township does not have the capacity to serve
Blue Springs within its district and that she had received phone calls and
emails from citizens in the district that showed great concern for their own
safety. Councilman Fowler noted that Zerger & Mauer LLP represented the
Independence School District for the 2007 annexation of Kansas City public
schools. He stated that citizens living that that section of the school district did
not seem to be engaged or involved in the district’s acquisition of those
schools. Councilman Quibell said it was putting money where it needed to be
and he would support the Bill.
City Administrator Eric Johnson explained that the initial scope of the work is
estimated to cost $5,000 but additional expenses would require approval by the
Council. He also stated that this is an important public safety issue and will
require active citizen involvement. City staff is recommending a larger budget
Unapproved
of $50,000 be set aside for other potential/additional legal work yet-to-be
defined. Mayor Ross said with homes springing up, new home owners may not
be aware that they would be in the Prairie Township District. He stated he was
concerned especially about the ambulance service.
2ND READING- Mr. Johnson made the second reading of Bill No. 4312, by title. Councilman
BILL NO. 4312 Quibell moved to adopt Bill No. 4312 upon its second reading and give it

minutes. Motion seconded by Councilman Lievsay and carried with the
following votes:
Fowler – Aye Culpepper – Aye
Carter – NO Quibell – Aye
Edmondson - Aye Lievsay - Aye
MAYORAL Thoughts to Ponder: Mayor Ross Thoughts - “It’s Senseless!”
ANNOUNCEMENTS
Our thoughts and prayers continue to be with those three families that lost
loved ones in the senseless hate crime killing in Overland last week.
When you take what you cannot give back
When you break what you cannot fix
When you tear down what you cannot rebuild
When you kill what you cannot create
For the sake of your sick mind and beliefs, because of indifference
And the hatred of killing other God created human beings!
It’s Senseless!!!

ISSUE/REQUEST
Approval of a Resolution to enter into an agreement to receive grant funding of $750 from the
Hy-Vee One Step Community Garden Grant (“Hy-Vee Grant”).
BACKGROUND/EXPLANATION
In 2012, the City constructed a community garden in Central Park. It was developed as a
healthy alternative program through the StandUp Blue Springs/Let’s Move! initiative. The
Parks & Recreation Department is always trying to improve the garden site with better soil,
equipment, and services. Hy-Vee Grant funds will be used toward the installation of a
decorative security fence around the garden site. This will give the garden site a more pleasant
appearance, help prevent non-gardening participants from entering the site, and hinder the loss
of gardening produce. The $750 Hy-Vee Grant funds will be received in the FY 2013-2014
budget year and spent in the FY 2014-2015 budget year with proposed budgeted funds of
$8,500. The fence project will be completed in October of 2014. The City Administrator has
approved the acceptance of the Hy-Vee Grant funds (see attached document).
JUSTIFICATION
The Parks & Recreation Department is please to be working with Hy-Vee in their efforts to
improve community garden sites. Gardening is an alternative healthy lifestyle activity that is a
great asset to the citizens of Blue Springs. The grant funds will enable us to continue to make
improvements to the community gardening program and Central Park.

Location of garden (store grounds, community lot, school name, etc.):
The Blue Springs Community Garden is located in Central Park, 1104 SW Walnut Street, Blue
Springs, MO. The public park is 5 (five) acres in size and is located in the historic section of downtown
Blue Springs.
When was your garden started?
April 2012. It was started as a community healthy alternative program through the StandUp Blue
Springs/Let’s Move initiative. We are a growing community of 52,000 residents that is trying to maintain
a small town character which the Community Garden program offers.
Organizations involved with the garden:
Blue Springs Parks & Recreation Department
Jackson County Health Department
StandUp Blue Springs/Let’s Move
Kansas City Master Gardeners
Kansas City Community Gardens
University of Missouri Extension, Master Gardeners of Greater Kansas City
Who provides the labor for the garden?
City of Blue Springs Parks & Recreation Department
Kansas City Master Gardeners
Master Gardeners of Greater Kansas City
How and where will the food used?
The food is mainly used by the Community Garden participants.
One plot was planted with all produce going to the Community Senior Citizen Congregate Meals
Program.
The Kansas City Master Gardeners has constructed a produce collection station at the Community
Garden site to collect donated produce that is then given to the Community Services League.
Is there an educational component to your garden project? If so, please describe the classes that
will be offered and target audience (children, teens, families, or adults).
We promote the Community Garden program as a family event that encompasses all age levels
and strive to offer a healthy eating habits, alternative physical exercise, increase environmental
awareness, and a wholesome social outlet to our participants. We also promote the use of the
Community Garden for use by special needs participants and groups. The site is handicapped accessible.
Each year the University of Missouri Extension/Kansas City Master Gardeners host a Vegetable
Gardening 101 class which included topics such as layout, fertilization, watering, tools, seed start and
plant, crop rotation, cool/warm season vegetables, pest control, disease prevention, and more.
In 2013 the following events were held: Garden Season Kick-off, May Garden Gala, Firefly Watch,
Salsa Party/Fall Planting, Fall Fun Fest Questions and Answers (see attachment flyer).
Plans for how the grant money will utilized:
The grant request is for the construction of a decorative safety fence around the garden site. The
first reason for the placement of the fence is due to the unfortunate theft of produce during this past year.
It was confirmed that produce theft was by non Community Garden participants. During 2014, a large
parking lot will be constructed to the south and west of the Community Garden that will produce a large
amount of foot traffic through the gardening site as it will be the shortest distance to the new Public
Safety building. Since the garden is in the downtown historic site district of Blue Springs, the fence would
bring a pleasant aesthetic appearance to the Community Garden site. It would also give a sense of
personal safety to the participants during their frequent visits to the Community Garden.
Two different types of fencing are being reviewed. The funds are for materials only with the
Parks & Recreation staff installing the fence.
- wood picket fence @ $1,850
- chain link fence @ $2,250
Blue Springs Community Garden:
Consists of 44 plots, 40 ground level (10’ x 10’) and 4 raised beds (4’ x 12’).
The garden site is approximately 90’ x 80’.
The growing season for 2014 is March 29th through November 2nd.
The Parks & Recreation Department provides the maintenance of the Community Garden. They
till the soil each spring, maintain the pathways/parking lot, supply the water, maintain the compost bin,
mow the grass and disposal of the trash.
The cost per garden plot is $50.00 with the funds going to the care/improvements to the site and
utility cost.
We are excited about the opportunity to receive grant monies from the Hy-Vee 2014 One Step
Community Garden Grant which will enable us to continue to offer a healthy, communal, and secure life
here in Blue Springs, Missouri.

ISSUE/REQUEST
Staff requests City Council approve a Resolution supporting the 2014 Kansas City St. Jude
Dream Home Giveaway to help raise funds for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital because
the Dream Home will be built in Blue Springs.
BACKGROUND/EXPLANATION
The St. Jude Dream Home Giveaway was created in 1991 by Dr. Donald Mack, a pediatric
physician from Shreveport, Louisiana. Dr. Mack has relied on St. Jude Children’s Research
Hospital to treat young patients with catastrophic diseases and was the first doctor to send an
out-of-state patient to St. Jude.
The first St. Jude Dream Home was constructed in Shreveport, Louisiana, and raised $160,000
for the hospital. Since that first giveaway, the St. Jude Dream Home Giveaway in Shreveport
has become an annual fundraiser, raising more than $23 million for the hospital.
Today, the St. Jude Dream Home Giveaway is one of the largest single-event fundraisers for St.
Jude nationwide and has raised more than $260 million.
This year, the St. Jude Dream Home Giveaway for the Kansas City area is located in Blue
Springs. The home is being constructed and donated by Summit Custom Homes in the Shores
at Chapman Farms development in Blue Springs, 8808 SE 1st Street, Blue Springs, MO, 64064.
The home is valued at $525,000 and features 6 bedrooms, 5.5 baths, 3 garages and over 4,000
square feet.
The 2014 St. Jude Dream Home Giveaway $100 raffle tickets will go on sale on June 11, 2014
and the home will be given away on October 12, 2014. This giveaway will raise $700,000 for
St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.
JUSTIFICATION
The home will be featured in the 2014 Parade of Homes and this event is expected to bring over
10,000 visitors to the Shores at Chapman Farms. There will be several additional giveaways
that aim to bring additional visitors to the Dream Home throughout the summer.
The 2014 St. Jude Dream Home Giveaway will showcase Blue Springs not only in the Kansas
City metro area, but throughout the State of Missouri.
