Shawna,
Officers worked over 763 incidents in April.
Police Clerk Jenny Riedl and I have completed our 2025 Annual Report for the Odessa Police
Department. In my efforts for transparency and to build upon our wonderful community involvement
efforts, this report will be shared publicly and updated annually. I believe an effective law enforcement
organization is built behind an engaged, informed and supportive community. Police Clerk Riedl has
done a very good job organizing the report, and we believe it will provide the public a synopsis of our
law enforcement activities in 2025. Please check out the website for the newest and past annual reports.
The department is currently recruiting for two police officer roles - a patrol officer and a school
resource officer. We have posted the patrol officer position, and I hope to begin interviews within the
next week. The recent updates to our compensation structure, employee handbook, and job descriptions
are expected to be major assets in recruitment and retention.
Codes Enforcement is currently working 47 active enforcement cases. Codes Enforcement has closed
58 cases for the year 2026 and taken 21 new enforcement cases for April 2026. We would remind
residents that they are required to maintain their yard grass to a height below 10”. We would also remind
residents not to mow grass into the streets.
The Odessa Police Department is an active member of the Kansas City Region of the Missouri
Coalition for Roadway Safety. Membership of the MCRS helps us collaborate with MoDOT on
important traffic safety initiatives. The MCRS is made up of nine counties with a mission of “Local
People Solving Local Problems!” Membership allows for multiple additional traffic grant opportunities.
On April 2, 2026, School Resource Officer Andrew Lockhart and the Odessa Police Department
coordinated a docudrama mock vehicle crash at the Odessa High School campus. The docudrama is
designed to provide a serious scenario involving a fatality crash for students to learn. SRO Lockhart,
Captain Leland Liese, Lieutenant Phillip Salmon, SRO Ben Brown, SRO Samantha Bell and I
participated. Our police department was assisted by the Odessa R-7 School District, Odessa Fire and
Rescue Protection District, Missouri State Highway Patrol, Lafayette County Sheriff’s Office and
Walker Tire and Tow. The event was very informative, and I believe we were able to provide valuable
lessons.

April 12-18, 2026, we helped celebrate 911 Telecommunicator week with the 911 Dispatch Center in
Higginsville. The 911 Dispatch Center answers all 911 calls (land line and cell phone) for the City of
Odessa. They also dispatch police, fire and emergency medical services in our community. 911
Telecommunicator week is held annually to honor public safety telecommunicators for their
commitment, service, and sacrifice.
March 19-25, 2026, was Crime Victims Rights Week. Captain Liese and I attended a victim’s rights
ceremony in Lexington, Missouri hosted by the Lafayette County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office. The
theme of this event was “Listen. Act. Advocate. Protect Victims. Serve Communities.” Since 1981,
National Crime Victims’ Rights Week has challenged the Nation to confront and remove barriers to
achieve justice for all victims of crime. During the week we recognize the accomplishments of the
victims’ rights movement and reflect on how far we have come.
During April we recognize National Child Abuse Prevention Month and the importance of
communities working together to support and strengthen families and prevent child abuse. Throughout
the year, communities are encouraged to increase awareness about child and family well-being and work
together to implement effective strategies that support families and prevent child abuse and neglect. I
would remind everyone that anyone suspecting child abuse can contact the Missouri child Abuse and
Neglect Hotline at 1-800-392-3738, or online on their website.
On April 25, 2025, we hosted our 17th National Prescription Drug Take Back Day event since
reactivating the Odessa Police Department. Too often, unused prescription drugs find their way into the
wrong hands resulting in tragedy. The DEA’s Take Back Day events provide an opportunity for
Americans to prevent drug addiction and overdose deaths. This program allows the public to safely and
anonymously dispose of your unwanted and unused pills. We also accept prescription drugs throughout
the year, Monday through Friday, from 8am to 5pm. This event was successful as we delivered 80
pounds of prescription drugs to the DEA facility in Kansas City.
Respectfully,
Josh Thompson
Chief of Police & Emergency Management Director

ISSUE:
Consideration of Ordinance No. 2026-20 amending Chapter 46 (Traffic and Vehicles),
Appendix A, Section 46A-3 – Schedule III (Parking Prohibited) of the Code of Ordinances
for the City of Odessa, Missouri.
ACTION REQUESTED:
Approval of Ordinance No. 2026-20 to amend prohibited parking regulations by adding and
removing designated no parking areas within the City of Odessa, on Lakeview Drive Road
and Cobb Avenue.
BACKGROUND:
Due to current and future traffic flow concerns, the addition of the residential neighborhood
known as “The Hill,” and the anticipated increase in traffic volume and population in the
area, staff recommends modifications to existing parking restrictions to improve traffic
safety and vehicle movement on the 100 block of Lakeview Drive Road.
While reviewing the ordinance, it was noticed that parking is currently restricted on the
North and South sides of Cobb Avenue between Advanced Industries and Valero
Convenience Store. Due to the parking concerns surrounding Advanced Industries and
based on the width of Cobb Avenue, no parking could be restricted to just the South side of
the street and would allow for traffic to flow and parking to be accommodated.
The proposed ordinance would:
• Add “No Parking” restrictions on both the east and west sides of Lakeview Drive
Road in the 100 block.
• Remove the existing “No Parking” restriction on the north side of West Cobb Avenue
in the 100 block.
These changes are intended to improve roadway safety, maintain adequate traffic flow, and
better accommodate current neighborhood conditions.

ISSUE:
Approval of a Right of Refusal Agreement between the City of Odessa and Advanced
Industries, LLC to allow for the vacation of Street Right of Way (ROW)The agreement
outlines the necessary process, which includes vacating the right of way (ROW). It also
states that if the property is sold or the ROW is no longer needed, the City has the right to
repurchase it for $10 and rededicate the ROW. for E. Marlow St. between N. 1st Street and
the alley between 1st Street and Russell St.
ACTION REQUESTED:
Approve/deny Resolution No 2026-19 authorizing a Right of Refusal agreement between
the City of Odessa and Advanced Industries to vacate a portion of E. Marlow Street
indefinitely.
BACKGROUND:
Advanced Industries, one of the largest employers in the City of Odessa, has been
experiencing significant growth over the past year, nearly doubling its workforce to close
to 200 employees. This expansion has led to challenges such as growing pains and parking
issues, particularly as the business borders a residential neighborhood.
To address these concerns, the proposal includes closing E. Marlow and creating a fence
between the residential and industrial areas. This would establish a transition barrier
between the two zones and allow the company to make necessary adjustments to its site,
including improvements for storage and employee parking. This plan aims to ensure that
no employee parking occurs in the residential area.
In 2018, there were discussions between the City and Advanced Industries about closing
the entire four-block intersection for the company, but no official agreement was reached
at that time.
The agreement outlines the necessary process, including the steps for vacating the ROW. It
also stipulates that if the property is sold or if the ROW is no longer required, the City has
the right to repurchase it for $10 and reestablish the ROW.
