City of Warrensburg

The City of Warrensburg's Major Street Plan Update for the Patrick Road / SW 50th Road corridor evaluates its functional classification to align future design and development with actual use. Key considerations include low traffic volumes, low-density residential land use, and limited expansion potential due to physical constraints. The plan recommends reclassifying Patrick Road from a collector to a local street to ensure transportation policy reflects the roadway's functional role and supports context-sensitive operations, while also acknowledging implications for sidewalks and parking.

The commission reviewed and approved an ordinance amendment to Chapter 27 of the City Code regarding setbacks for flagpoles in commercial and industrial districts. Additionally, the commission discussed and approved a budget request for FY27, which included funding for training and travel mileage.

The Commission's agenda included the election of officers, including Chair, Vice-Chair/Secretary, and a Historic Preservation Commission Representative. Key discussion topics featured a public hearing regarding a resolution to amend the Major Street Plan and reclassify Patrick Road from a collector to a local street, and an ordinance to establish the Maguire Street Corridor Overlay District, which includes specific design standards, building height limits, parking requirements, and signage regulations for development within that corridor.

The City of Warrensburg presented a proposal to develop a comprehensive three-year Crisis Communication Plan. The presentation outlined the project vision, the RFP process, the evaluation criteria for the eight submitting firms, and a comparative cost and scoring analysis. Based on the evaluation, Chloeta was recommended to lead the project due to their extensive experience and comprehensive proposal. The project structure includes phased development focusing on internal communications, external communications, and the finalization of a comprehensive plan, with a proposed total cost of $87,280.

The City Council meeting agenda included a proclamation reading for a childhood center grand opening. Legislative items featured ordinances to authorize agreements for fire protection system inspection management and the development of a crisis communication plan. The council also considered a resolution to adopt a comprehensive schedule of fees and reviewed various mayoral appointments to the Parks and Recreation Board, Historic Preservation Commission, and the Tax Increment Financing Commission. The session concluded with reports from city staff across multiple departments.
