APPROVAL OF CONSENT AGENDA Approval of minutes and consent agenda. ● November 10, 2025 – Regular Session Alderwoman Ehlert provided a brief update from the Finance Committee. She mentioned the need to purchase a scraper/trash screen for the wastewater department, costing approximately $100,000. Cathy Thompson, Finance Director, explained that the city could release funds from the 2005 wastewater bond reserves to pay off the remaining debt owed ($56,000) on the bond, this coupled with debt reserves from the 2004 bond (which was recently completed) would leave a $10,000 gap, for the purchase of the scraper, which could be covered by system repair and maintenance funds. The board agreed to proceed with the release of debt reserve funds and to bring the purchase back to the board for purchase approval.

Amendment for Police Station Lease Mayor Barner requested a motion of approval to amend the police station lease with the 1912 Development Group, LLC, effective November 1, 2025. Discussion: Josh Thompson, Police Chief, stated that there was an amendment to his board action report. He noted that the lease agreement does not begin until the lessee obtains a building permit. It does not start on November 1, 2025. Once the builder obtains a building permit, that begins year one of the three-year zero (0) dollar lease. Motion was made by Alderwoman Ehlert to approve the 1912 Bldg—amendment for Police Station Lease, seconded by Alderman Carrigan. Motion carried 6-Aye, 0-No. Resolution No. 2025-34 ~ Electric Cost of Service and Rate Study Mayor Barner read the proposed Resolution No. 2025-34 authorizing the expenditure of funds for the 2026 Electric Cost of Service and Rate Study between the City of Odessa Missouri, and Allgeier, Martin & Associates. Discussion: Alderman Whitsitt asked if the rate study would include recommendations for lowering the rates. Shawna Davis, the City Administrator, explained that the city asked them to review our class structure. She added that, as a result of reviewing the cost of services study, they will look at the overall picture to determine if the city is overcharging significantly. The main goal of conducting the rate study is to better understand the class structures; they will connect these structures with the cost of services for each category. If the cost of services aligns with what our class is currently paying, then there's no need to lower the rate. The system analysis they will conduct will identify our weaker points within the system, how the city can improve it to be more efficient, and thus reduce the city's wholesale costs. Alderman Whitsitt expressed his disappointment with the time it takes to complete this process. Motion was made by Alderman Plachte, to approve Resolution No. 2025-34 authorizing the expenditure of funds for the 2026 Electric Cost of Service and Rate Study, seconded by Alderman Carrigan. Motion carried 6-Aye, 0-No. Resolution No. 2025-32 ~ The Hill Developer’s Agreement Mayor Barner read the proposed Resolution No. 2025-32, authorizing the Mayor to sign a Developer’s Agreement between the City of Odessa, Missouri, and Developers, Steve and Lisa Bailey, regarding “The Hill” development project. Discussion: Nothing in the agreement has changed since the November 10th agenda. Shawna Davis, City Administrator, stated that the city has made significant efforts to negotiate with the Baileys. Alderman Carrigan questioned the road repair. Page 4 of 5 Motion was made by Alderwoman Ehlert to approve Resolution No. 2025-32 The Hill Developer’s Agreement, seconded by Alderman Whitsitt. Motion carried 4-Aye, 1-No, 1-Abstain. Discussion ~ Strategic Plan ~ Police Josh Thompson, Chief of Police, reviewed the Police in the newly adopted Strategic Plan.

Here are just a few statistics: * 92 traffic stops * 198 business, residence checks * 15 mental health calls, check the well-being calls, or similar calls * 32 various disturbances * 38 assist other agency calls * 35 follow-up investigations on previously reported incidents Codes Enforcement is currently working 26 active enforcement cases. Codes Enforcement has closed 138 cases for the year and taken 2 new enforcement cases for November 2025. On November 11, 2025, in observance of Veteran's Day, the Police Department proudly recognized the three full-time staff members who are veterans of the U.S. armed forces and continue to serve the Odessa community. Officer Daniel Melchioris served in the United States Marine Corps, and School Resource Officer Mathew Osborn served in the United States Army; both officers participated in combat operations overseas before becoming sworn police officers. Additionally, Officer Ty Bell served in the Army National Guard before joining the force. We extend our deepest gratitude to Officers Melchioris, Osborn, and Bell for their service to our country and their continued dedication to the safety and well-being of the Odessa community. On November 13, 2025, and November 18, 2025, I attended several public engagement events for the Public Safety Sales Tax. These events included a “Town Hall” style round table discussion, private group discussion and a “Coffee with the Chief.” The campaign’s goals are to inform citizens about the critical need for a new police facility and the specific details of the April 2026 Public Safety Sales Tax ballot question. On November 17, 2025, the Odessa Police Department assisted with the downtown Christmas lighting event and parade. We helped provide a safe and secure environment for all guests and for the parade. It was a wonderful turnout! The police staff have completed their compensation study surveys, and I have reviewed those surveys. I have also prepared and reviewed surveys for each police department position (filled and unfilled). Our new police vehicle has been purchased with funds through the Missouri Blue Shield Grant Program. This replacement will lower the capital improvement requests for the upcoming budget year. The vehicle is currently at the police equipment installer. I expect it to be fully operational in the next few weeks. Once all equipment has been procured, I’ll request recoupment from the grant. 1|Page In our regular local Lafayette County Police Chiefs meeting, there is discussion about ways to share resources, provide interdepartmental training, assist each jurisdiction with complex investigations and to discuss current staffing and policing trends. Currently we are discussing the implementation of a quick response team with services shared between the agencies. The QRT will assist with critical incidents where more specialized training and equipment are needed to de-escalate and arrest violent offenders. Special note: As our community enjoyed spending time with family and friends this Thanksgiving season, the Odessa Police Department did not shut down. Odessa officers and supervisors worked through the holiday and made sure our community remained safe. Thank you to all emergency services who work holidays protecting our citizens! Respectfully, Josh Thompson Chief of Police & Emergency Management Director 2|Page 3|Page  IN THE CIRCUIT COURT OF LAFAYETTE COUNTY, MISSOURI CITY OF ODESSA MUNICIPAL DIVISION The Municipal Division of the Circuit Court of Lafayette County for the City of Odessa did hold court in the month of November.

Barner, Mayor ATTEST: ______________________________ Karen, Findora, City Clerk  BOARD OF ALDERMEN ACTION REPORT ISSUE: Approval of a Memorandum of Understanding and Easement Agreement granting the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers rights to utilize City-owned property for habitat restoration and wetland protection efforts. ACTION REQUESTED: Motion/Second to approve Resolution No. 2025-30 approving the donation of an easement and a Memorandum of Understanding between the City of Odessa and the US Army Corps of Engineers regarding land owned by the City of Odessa. BACKGROUND: Back in June of 2024, the US Army Corps of Engineers inquired whether the City of Odessa would be willing to sell the tract of land where the City’s wells are housed or sell an easement to the Corps to be used for their MRRP program. The Missouri River Recovery Program consists of identifying and implementing an action that will avoid a finding of jeopardy for three federally listed species: the piping plover, the interior least tern and the pallid sturgeon. It is also exists for implementing the Bank Stabilization and Navigation Project Fish and Wildlife Mitigation project (BSNP Mitigation project), which is an effort to mitigate or compensate for losses of 522,000 acres of fish and wildlife habitat from the development of the BSNP on the Missouri River. The Board, in closed session under RSMO 610.021 voted unanimously not to sell the land due to potential future needs of access to the aquifer as a water resource but access could be provided via a donated easement. On November 12th, 2024, the City of Odessa Board of Aldermen granted the US Army Corps of Engineers right-of-entry to conduct a land survey of the property. Through this partnership, the Corps will implement measures to divert water flow away from the City’s existing wells, reducing potential erosion and protecting water resources. In addition, the Corps will install signage and provide ongoing monitoring of the area to enhance public safety. The accompanying Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) establishes communication protocols between the City and the Corps to ensure coordination of project activities and long-term stewardship of the site.

Barner, Mayor ATTEST: By: ____________________________________ Karen Findora, City Clerk  BOARD OF ALDERMEN ACTION REPORT ISSUE: Authorization to use General Fund reserves to establish a part-time Public Information Coordinator position. ACTION REQUESTED: Motion to authorize the City Administrator to establish a part-time Public Information Coordinator position and to expend unbudgeted General Fund reserves not to exceed $20,000 annually through March 31, 2027. BACKGROUND: Establish a part-time Communications Coordinator position at 10–15 hours per week. The position will be non-benefited. The role will focus on public communication, digital content creation, resident engagement, and project- specific messaging to support the City’s ongoing initiatives and improve overall communication consistency. The estimated annual cost is under $20,000. Funding would be provided through General Fund reserves through March 31, 2027. During the FY 2027–2028 budget process, staff will evaluate whether the position can transition to a permanent, budgeted role. The City’s communication demands continue to grow as major initiatives progress, including the Use Tax Initiative, the Public Safety Sales Tax Initiative, and the Downtown Sidewalk Reconstruction Project. These efforts require consistent, accurate, and proactive communication across social media, the City website, public updates, and other outreach channels. This proposal directly supports the newly adopted 2025–2030 Strategic Plan. Under the Strategic Pillar Community Engagement, the plan identifies adding a public relations intern as a priority. A part-time Communications Coordinator provides the same cost profile as an intern while offering more stability, continuity, and operational value. Current staff capacity cannot absorb the increase in communication duties without affecting existing responsibilities. FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS: This expenditure is not currently budgeted. Approval would authorize the use of General Fund reserves, not to exceed $20,000 annually, to fund this part-time position. The expense is minimal relative to the overall reserve balance and does not impact financial stability. ATTACHMENTS: PREPARED BY: ______ DATED: December 08, 2025 Shawna Davis, City Administrator To Mayor Barner, Board of Aldermen, City Administrator Shawna Davis Terrica Jones, President of the Downtown Collective, and Tyler Wells, who I had asked to contact and represent area Mobile Food Vendors, met on Tuesday, November 18, 2025 to review the City of Odessa ordinances and determine if there were areas for discussion and improvements for the benefit of our brick and mortar and food truck businesses. I think we had a very good meeting discussing not only the ordinances but several ideas where both groups could work together to improve traffic into the city and help each other grow. On following pages are portions of the Mobile Food Vendors ordinance. Items enclosed in [ ] are comments on discussions specific to the ordinance. Those discussions centered on; 1) Liability Insurance as a Merchant License requirement Liability insurance applies equally to all businesses and probably should be a discussion separate from just Mobile Food Vendors. 2) Where can food trucks operate? Consensus was that the ordinance was ok. 3) Establish a reservation system. Ensuring sales tax collection from vendors is the ultimate intent. The 4-vendor limit does not currently pose any problems. Board discussion desired. 4) Charge a fee The city does incur some direct and indirect costs for use of the park but imposing and collecting any per use fee could cost the city more than it is worth. Board discussion desired. 5) Change the 50’ rule There are valid points to extend the limit and there are valid points to keep as is. Board discussion desired. Sincerely, Bruce Whitsitt • DIVISION 3. - MOBILE FOOD VENDORS • Sec. 12-76. - License required. It shall be unlawful for any mobile food vendor to conduct any business or nonprofit enterprise or operate a mobile unit within the city limits without first obtaining a city business license and paying the license fee in the amount provided in the schedule of fees and charges. License fees paid, and licenses obtained pursuant to this article shall be in addition to any other fees or permits required pursuant to this Code or any other ordinances of this city. [IT WAS DISCUSSED THAT THE CITY IN IT’S BUSINESS LICENSE APPLICATION SHOULD REQUIRE LIABILITY INSURANCE WITH THE CITY AS AN ADDITIONAL NAMED INSURED IN A MANNER SIMILAR TO THE CITY OF OAK GROVE FOR ALL BUSINESS APPLICANTS (FOOD TRUCKS AND BRICK AND MORTAR)] (Ord. No. 3109, § 2, 10-23-2023) • Sec. 12-77. - Mobile food vendor business license requirements. An applicant for a mobile vendor business license shall submit a completed business license application to the city clerk accompanied by the license fee in the amount provided in the schedule of fees and charges. The license shall be effective upon approval and expire on June 30 of each year. Mobile vendor business licenses are nontransferable. Each unit operating in the city is required to obtain its own business license. City business licenses must be conspicuously displayed in the mobile unit while it is operating within the city limits. Mobile units shall comply with all required state federal, and city laws, including, without limitation, building and fire codes related to their equipment and operations, and shall obtain applicable county health permits and any other city-required inspections and/or permits before beginning operations. Failure to do so may result in suspension or revocation of the business license. (Ord. No. 3109, § 2, 10-23-2023) • Sec. 12-78. - Mobile food vendor operating regulations. (a) Mobile food units may operate in the public right-of-way open to traffic or parking, but only from a parked location where a motor vehicle is authorized to park by law, signage, or permit. The location must not block fire hydrants, fire lanes, or fire department connections. [QUESTION WAS ASKED WHERE IN THE CITY FOOD TRUCKS COULD OPERATE AND IF THEY WERE LIMITED TO RAILROAD PARK. AS STATED IN THE ORDINANCE ABOVE AND BELOW, THEY CAN OPERATE IN OTHER PLACES WHERE THE ORDINANCE ALLOWS. CONSENSUS WAS THE ORDINANCE IS OK.] (b) The mobile food unit must be wholly contained within designated on-street or off-street parking spaces. The mobile food unit may not utilize more than one parking space at one time. Parking in handicap-accessible parking spaces or permit-required parking spaces is prohibited. (c) Mobile food vending may only occur with the serving side of the mobile food unit horizontally facing the sidewalk and away from the street when in the public right- of-way, except as part of a city-sponsored event where such activity may be allowed. (d) Mobile food units may not park on the sidewalk. (e) Mobile food operations, including but not limited customer queues, designated spaces for eating, and the size of the mobile food unit, shall not impede or hinder vehicular or pedestrian traffic or impede the sight triangle. (f) If directed by a police officer or other authorized city personnel, operations may be suspended and a mobile food unit may be ordered to move to avoid congestion or impeding traffic. (g) Mobile vendors may only park their mobile food units on improved surfaces, except as part of a city-sponsored event where such activity may be allowed. (h) Mobile food units may not be left unattended in a public right-of-way nor parked overnight in a public right-of-way, except as part of a city-sponsored event where such activity may be allowed. (i) No mobile food vendor shall have any exclusive or perpetual right to any location in the city. (j) Mobile food vendors may not operate on private property without the expressed written consent of the private property owner. Such written consent shall be exhibited upon request. Mobile food vendors may not operate on city park property, with the exception of Railroad Park, without the expressed written consent of the park director or his/her designee. Such written consent shall be exhibited upon request. (k) At Railroad Park, a maximum of four licensed mobile food vendors are allowed to operate between 6:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m. The operating slots will be on a first-come, first-serve basis. It is prohibited for any mobile food vendor to operate when a board- approved special event permit has been issued unless the special event permit applicant has provided written consent. [DISCUSSION WAS HAD ON A SIMPLE RESERVATION SYSTEM AND WHETHER THE 4 VENDOR LIMIT WAS A PROBLEM. IT WAS ACKNOWLEDGED THAT IT WAS NOT A REALLY A PROBLEM BUT THE RESERVATION SYSTEM WOULD GIVE THE CITY A METHOD OF TRACKING WHO WAS IN THE CITY TO ENSURE COLLECTION OF SALES TAX REVENUE. A SIMPLE SIGN-IN LIST WOULD ACCOMPLISH THAT TASK. BOARD DISCUSSION TO ESTABLISH A CALL-IN/CHECK-IN SYSTEM FOR MOBILE VENDORS.] [FURTHER DISCUSSION WAS HELD REGARDING A FEE FOR USE OF RAILROAD PARK. IT WAS ACKNOWLEDGED THAT THERE IS A COST TO THE CITY FOR THE MAINTENANCE OF THE AREA. THE CITY DOES PROVIDE TRASH CANS WHICH ARE BEING USED AND, AS WE KNOW WITH THE DOWNTOWN SIDEWALKS, THERE IS AN EVENTUAL COST TO CONCRETE MAINTENANCE. THERE IS AN UNSEEN COST IN CITY INSURANCE AND CITY INFRASTRUCTURE. PERSONAL PROPERTY TAX IS NOT PAID TO THE CITY FROM OUT- OF-TOWN MOBILE FOOD VENDORS FOR THOSE COSTS BUT VENDORS BASED WITHIN CITY LIMITS DO PAY PERSONAL PROPERTY TAX FOR THOSE COSTS. THE TIME REQUIREMENT FOR COLLECTION OF A FEE MAY END UP COSTING MORE THAN THE FEE COLLECTED. BOARD DISCUSSION IS REQUIRED TO ESTABLISH A FEE OR MODIFY BUSINESS LICENSE OR WAIVE ANY CHANGE FOR MOBILE FOOD VENDOR.] (l) The use of outdoor lighting is prohibited, except for adequate lighting around the mobile food unit to ensure customer safety and for the lighting of a menu attached to or next to the side of the mobile unit. (m) Mobile food vendors shall comply with all city ordinances regulating signage. (n) Mobile food vendors shall comply with all city ordinances regulating noise. (o) Mobile food vendors shall operate all aspects of the business (cooking, sales, storage, etc.) within the mobile food unit.

The container shall be sufficient size and placed close to the mobile food unit and not impede vehicular or pedestrian traffic. Prior to leaving a location, the mobile food vendor shall pick up and properly dispose of any trash or litter within 20 feet of the location. Refuse containers and their contents shall be removed from the location by the vendor. Contents shall not be deposited in public trash containers on city property.  (q) Mobile food vendors shall supply, at the vendor's expense, all equipment necessary to conduct the business. Any power required for the mobile food unit shall be self-contained and will not draw its power from the public right-of-way. No power cable or equipment shall be extended at grade unless covered to prevent tripping hazards. No power cable or equipment shall be extended overhead across any public street, alley, or sidewalk. (r) Mobile food units may operate in the city seven days a week between the hours of 6:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m. Approval by the board of alderman is required for mobile food units operated outside of 6:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m., except as part of a city- sponsored event. (s) Mobile food vendors may not park directly in front of a business without express written permission from the business. Mobile vendors selling food or drink may not park within 50 feet of the main entrance of a restaurant during the hours in which food or drink is sold within such restaurant without express written permission from the restaurant. All measurements shall be made from the closest point on a mobile food unit to the main entrance of the restaurant. [DISCUSSION WAS HELD ON KEEPING THE 50 FT LIMIT OR INCREASING IT TO 100 OR 200 FT. WE DISCUSSED THE IMPACT OF COMPETITION AND OUR LIMITATIONS ON PROTECTING AGAINST COMPETITION AND THE DIFFERENCES OF INVESTMENT AND OPERATING COSTS BETWEEN BUSINESS TYPES. CONSENSUS COULD NOT BE ACHIEVED AND BOARD DISCUSSION IS NECESSARY.] (t) It shall be unlawful for mobile food units to sell any alcoholic drinks or food without obtaining proper state, county and city permits.

No. 3109, § 2, 10-23-2023) • Sec. 12-80. - Other ordinances applicable. All mobile food unit business licenses are subject to all city ordinances, including procedures for obtaining, suspending, and revoking business licenses as provided in chapter 12, article II.
