Yeah, I mean at the time we discussed as we were I think we were looking at his insurance uh applications or his his providing of insurance resolved.

Nope, it has not. Um the motion was to move forward and that he would have to you know fill out the application when the date and time was was selected. Um and at that time if he's not able to provide the insurance, it will still have to come back to the board for them to wave the insurance requirements. Or if you'd prefer, you don't have to move this forward and at this time and he can just come back at a later time. Well, then I would be under I'd rather just push this aside until he, you know, he comes forward with what he needs. The only thing that I worry about is if he he still has time up until that event to bring his his paperwork in. He does. Um the pro I but I I don't believe there's ever been a date selected

and and I probably Dan, do you want to speak on that? Yeah, I can tell you I have had zero conversation with him since the uh committee meeting. So I'm not sure where we're at with insurance, a date, anything like that yet. Okay.

Personally, I don't think it needs to come back to the board. To me, it's Dan's got it. If that guy can come up with a date that is available and then he can show the insurance and the staff sees the insurance, I don't think it needs to then come back to the board for us to approve that. Yeah, we're we're okay with this. As long as he has what he needs and the staff is saying everything's okay. I I feel like we don't need we can just we're going to give you the go-ahad if he provides everything. Well, we need to clarify that in a motion then I believe. But we did. It was. Yeah, that's that was part that were that was the conditions of us bringing this to approve legal any legal comments.

Yeah, that's exactly right. That was one of the conditions and if you would like I mean there's no objection to Dan also just kind of relaying to them that you know it is that the city is under no obligation to wave the insurance. So he does need to get that in and make sure so that you guys don't feel then obligated when he comes at the last minute and wants a waiver for insurance. No, that's the only concern. So, what's the Sorry. So, what's the consensus? Do we want to vote on this tonight and make sure that he has all of his information? Yes. So, I would vote on it tonight, but I just maybe if we resend and and Robin clarify just to make sure it's abundantly clear that I'm not interested in waving the insurance.

Okay. You want to resend? I'll resend. I'll resend my first and I will re motion that this will be voted on with the understanding that he will obtain his insurance uh waiver and a date for this event. Okay. Alderman Whisbrock. I would second. We have a motion by Huels, second by Whisbrock. Further discussion. All in favor? Opposed? Motion carries.

Captain, would you like to give your monthly report? Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. I'd like to go over the monthly report for the month of March 2026. And I know you're all aware of this uh with your handouts. I'll just run from um present March 2026 to February last month and then March 2025 year before. Calls for service did go up from 731 to from 704 uh year prior 718. Self-initiated assignments remained uh consistent 1427 versus uh last month 1454 and last year 1,723. Arrests were also pretty consistent from this month to last month from 22 to 24 and there were 39 year ago. uh DWI arrest. Uh the city of Fent officers had zero. However, there were two highway safety units that uh wrote DWIs within the city of Fent limits. Uh compared to zero last year and last month. Uh radio calls uh in the business districts were 355 in March of 2026. February 372 and March last year 549. arrests were 17 and 17 uh for March and February. I'm sorry. Yes, March and February uh in the business districts uh compared to 22 year year prior. Traffic citations did increase a little from 189 last month from 180 previous month to 148 in March of last year. Warning t warning tickets were 118 to 101 to 62. Uh the stealth stat radar was deployed due to some citizen

complaints uh on Cinnowwood and I can go over those the results from that. Uh, so the survey took place. Officer Dilks deployed that stealth stat stealth stat radar in Synwood Drive on a on a pole there on March 20th, 2026 at about almost uh 1:00 p.m. It was removed uh on the 31st. Uh this is a posted 20 mph zone. The average speed indicated on that on the stealth stat was 12 miles per hour. The minimum speed or the average speed, I'm sorry, was 12 miles per hour. The minimum speed was seven and the maximum speed during the survey was 30 miles per hour. So a two a total of 203 vehicles were involved in the traffic survey. As you can see 0 to 15 mph were 147 of those vehicles. 16 to 20 were 30, 21 to 25 13 and 26 to 30 were five and that was the highest speed was 30. uh just go over some other statistics relative to crime in the area. So there was on crimes against persons. There was a a forcable sex offense this month, one last month. Uh this month we did have one just a uh couple of days ago also in one of our area businesses with a couple of co-workers. Um, precinct detective Kaine was able to, well, the victim of the most recent one was able to provide a name of that suspect and that suspect more than likely is the cause of the one that's in March of 2 2026 statistics. Uh, he is here from what we know illegally and uh, customs or border patrol has been notified. Uh we we're

trying to find an exact name for him and um he may no longer he may be getting deported very soon. Uh aggravated assaults uh went up three from zero last uh month and four year prior. Uh these all did result uh well all three of these instances involved uh the same three people. Um one of them is incarcerated. Uh he's sitting at the county jail on a $250,000 bond. He was the victim of one of these aggravated assaults. Uh prosecution was uh refused on that. It was a domestic situation with the uh the lady that was involved in the other two aggravated assaults which uh resulted in search warrants. Um search warrants were u conducted on the house to locate a firearm. that lo firearm was located and as I said the suspect is remains in the county jail under a $250,000 bond. Uh simple assaults uh did decline from one to four three year prior and we're talking small again very small numbers. Uh crimes against property that did go up uh by two with um shoplifting um which remains pretty consistent. We had 17 the entire month of March compared to 15 in February and 20 year prior and that's generally it's uh all in the business business districts and Gravalwood Bluffs. Um did have a couple motor vehicle thefts from the um the hotel um the Heritage in um frauds were down. Everything else was down. um drugs, narcotics violations. Uh we did have two of those. Those were uh of a result from an arrest. Any lararseny

in the bluffs when the uh suspect was arrested, officers found uh drugs on two of the suspects. So that's the result of that number increasing by two. Everything else is rather low. Um that is pretty much all that I have unless you all have questions. Uh you talked briefly last month about uh some vehicle breakins in the business park including with some uh catal theft, right? How are we this month?

Uh we uh we don't have any catal we haven't had any catalytic converters. I know Jefferson County uh this person was involved in some other theft down there a month ago. Uh they tried to serve a search warrant. The judge denied the ser search warrant on that uh residence in Jefferson County. Um so I'm sure Hopefully the guy got the hint and uh is kind of being watched now and hopefully won't come back for a while. We did have a repeat offender from a some toolboxes uh and some work trucks being stolen. Guy stole $100 worth of screwdrivers a few days ago and he was a suspect of ours and he was arrested um by um officer Abalov and u it's he was another one that drove through a flat camera. So, leaving the uh that area and he was driving the same exact vehicle the last time he did it. So, he was kind of easy to nab. I spoke with the owners uh of Missouri Furniture after the ribbon cutting. They were very impressed uh that we had law enforcement came to the ribbon cutting. So, I greatly appreciate that. Thank you for the invitation.

So, this special meeting was called uh in regards to the purchase of a UT fee uh for the uh public works department, actually for the entire city. Um it seems that the to wait another month, we might lose out on the uh UTV. They only they they get in certain colors. Dan would prefer to have the white because it matches all of our vehicles. And as we talked about in in committee, we're going to put a city's logo on the sides and all so people it's identifiable. But white is you don't you don't find them much. And I think in talking to the the vendor, they don't know if they'll get another white one. So they'd like to to, you know, move this along if possible. Um, Dan, you want to add anything to that? He does did provide a memo.

No, I think you pretty much said it. Okay. Alman Whisbrock, I'd make that motion to move forward with the uh with the Midwest or I'm sorry, with the Echo Sports Perryville. How do we done by ordinance? No, we're looking at Midwest. Say what now? So you want this Dan say you want the sports mid it's it's the next item would be an ordinance approving the one from Midwest Infestus and the reason is yeah we we don't really need a motion then we'll just go right in. We had discussion.

We had discussion at the committee meeting for the record is that that um the one in Perryville is is only $190 and some change cheaper than the less expensive than the one in Fesus. However, to have any of the extended warranty work done, it has to be done at the dealer of which you purchased it. So, if we were to have to take it down to Pville in lie of Fesus, I believe it's worth the extra 199 $190 to keep it closer for per service. Yeah. Any any further discussion? Okay. Uh, Alderman Bryce Shaft, I believe you were going to pick this up under your committee. I'll sponsor this bill, please.
