INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN MARC SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT

DISTRICT AND PLATTE COUNTY – 2009 HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTE
COLLECTION PROGRAM
Daniel Erickson, Director of Planning and Zoning, presented the Intergovernmental Agreement
Between MARC Solid Waste Management District and Platte County – 2009 Household Hazardous
Waste Collection Program. This program allows citizens living in participating communities to dispose
of household hazardous waste. Dealing with household hazardous waste is a problem. Landfills will
not take this material leaving citizens in a quandary. Too often, citizens end up stockpiling these
materials in their homes or garages, or disposing of them down a drain or outside. Stockpiling these
materials in the home is a fire hazard and dangerous for children. Dumping these materials down the
drain or outside, pollutes our streams and creates a problem for regulated entities, such as sanitary
sewer providers. Participation in the program will give citizens a safe, clean, and convenient way of
getting rid of these materials.
Materials eligible for disposal include paint and other paint related products, all automotive fluids, all
types of batteries, fluorescent bulbs, pesticides, herbicides, glues and adhesives, pool chemicals and
cleaners.
The County’s participation will grant access to the 2009 program to all citizens living in unincorporated
portions of Platte County and in towns with a population less than 500 residents which include:
Farley, Houston Lake, Iatan, Northmoor, Platte Woods, Ridgely, and Tracy.
The materials may be taken to either of the permanent sites located at 4707 Deramus, Kansas City,
MO or 2101 S.E. Hamblen Road, Lee’s Summit. Appointments are required prior to using these sites.
12 mobile events will be held throughout the year at various locations, some of which will be located in
Platte County.

The cost for this program is approximately $21,098.88 for 2009. Cost is based on a .88 per capita rate.

We are in the planning and design stages for improving North Farley Road as indentified in the Road

RESOLUTION #09-04 – OPPOSING THE PROPOSED MERGER OF THE KANSAS CITY FIRE
DEPARTMENT AND MAST AMBULANCE SERVICES
(COUNTY COMMISSION)
-2-
Commissioner Knight presented Resolution #09-04 – Opposing the Proposed Merger of the Kansas City
Fire Department and MAST Ambulance Services.
Whereas, the South Platte County Ambulance District has since its creation of an ambulance
district contracted for the provision of ambulance service by Metropolitan Ambulance Service Trust,
hereinafter referred to as “MAST”; and
Whereas, “MAST” as part of its contractual commitment to the “District” has consistently met
rigorous response time parameters imposed by the contract; and
Whereas, “MAST” has a Physician Quality Review Committee that has provided superb
quality improvement and quality assurance review of the medical care provided by “MAST”; and
Whereas, “MAST” has been so cost effective in operations, the District’s Board has been able
to grant the taxpayers of the District a property tax reduction; and
Whereas, the merger of the Kansas City Fire Department operations with “MAST” ambulance
operations will lead to significant transition costs, including capital costs for upgrading fire stations to
EMS bases and additional training of personnel; and
Whereas, the merger of the Kansas City Fire Department operations with “MAST” ambulance
operations will lead to disruption of essential third part reimbursements such as Medicare, Medicaid,
VA, Tri-care, and private insurance (The Medicare application alone is 50+ pages) and this disruption
will cause the entire Kansas City area lost revenues for EMS; and
Whereas, this merger will likely lead to the loss of the current excellent Physician Oversight
and Review with the consequent decline in the quality of advanced life support EMS care and adverse
impacts on the lives, health and safety of residents and visitors of the Kansas City Metropolitan area
including residents of the South Platte Ambulance County District; and
Whereas, this merger will likely lead to the loss of the current excellent “MAST”
administration and its historical EMS administration knowledge with the inevitable consequential
management problems and lost links to the State Advisory Council on Emergency Medical Services, the
Missouri Ambulance Association, the Missouri Emergency Medical Services Alliance, and to the
Missouri Ambulance District Association; and
Whereas, these projected revenue losses and revenue disruptions, increased costs associated
with the transition, declines in Physician Medical oversight and quality of care, and loss of
administrative knowledge and expertise will be intolerable to the South Platte County Ambulance
District and will give the District and its Board of Directors no alternative but to cancel the District’s
contract with “MAST” or with its proposed successor(s) in interest.
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the County Commissioners of Platte County,

Missouri, that Platte County is opposed to the proposed merger of the Kansas City Fire Department
and MAST Ambulance Services.
19th Day of March, 2009.
Commissioner Plunkett moved for the approval of Resolution #09-04 – Opposing the Proposed Merger
of the Kansas City Fire Department and MAST Ambulance Services. Commissioner Knight seconded.

20% discount on that insurance. We will be checked every three years, but if we continue to do this, we
can get even better ratings. There are only two other communities in the State of Missouri that are in
the ISO Program so this will be good for Platte County. There are two cycles in a year, May and
October, and ISO and FEMA send that out to the insurance agencies and the discounts are
automatically applied.
Gale thanked the departments of the Sheriff, County Clerk, and the Planning and Zoning staff in the
Storm Water Program with the different things that can be done to help reduce flooding and help get
the rating.

and conclusions as follows:
-5-
1. On or about January 12, 2007, Gale Cantu, Codes Administrator, personally
viewed and photographed the Friederichs property located at 6105 Casper, Parkville, Platte County,

3. The Codes Administrator notified Mr. Friederichs, as well as the mortgage

holder, Wells Fargo Bank, NA, that they were in violation of the Dangerous Buildings Order by
forwarding to them a violation notice dated March 12, 2009. The violation notice was forwarded by
certified mail, return receipt requested, and by posting the notice on the Property.
4. On April 17, 2009, the Codes Administrator forwarded additional written

correspondence to Mr. Friederichs and Wells Fargo Bank, NA, informing them of the Dangerous
Buildings Order violation and ordering abatement of the violation and providing notice, pursuant to
Section 7 of the Dangerous Buildings Order of the hearing scheduled for May 21, 2009 for
determination by this Commission of the Dangerous Buildings Order violation.
5. At the hearing, evidence was offered by the Codes Administrator, including

photographs and testimony.
6. The Commission finds that all notices required by the Dangerous Buildings
Order were provided by the Codes Administrator to Mr. Freiderichs and to the mortgage holder, Wells
Fargo Bank, NA.
7. The Commission further finds that the Property is in violation of the

Dangerous Building Order and does in fact constitute a violation as defined therein in the following
respects:
a. The building, because of obsolescence, dilapidated condition,

deterioration, damage, inadequate exits, lack of sufficient
fire-resistive construction, faulty electric wiring, gas
connections or heating apparatus or other cause has been
determined by the Building Inspector to be a fire hazard.
b. The building is presently used as a multi-family dwelling,

and, because of inadequate maintenance, dilapidation,
decay, damage, faulty construction or arrangement,
inadequate light, air or sanitation facilities or otherwise,
has been determined by the Building Inspector to be
unsanitary, unfit for human habitation or in such a
condition that it is likely to cause sickness or disease.
c. In the rear of the building and sides, one or more of the

walking surfaces of an aisle, passageway, stairway or other
means of exit is so warped, worn, loose, torn or otherwise
unsafe so as to not provide safe and adequate means of exit
in case of fire or panic.
d. The roof of the structure contains members which are likely

to fail, to become detached or dislodged or to collapse and
thereby injure persons or damage property.
-6-
e. The building in its present condition has faulty weather
protection, which includes:
1. Deteriorated or ineffective waterproofing

of exterior walls, roof, foundations or
floors, including broken windows or doors.
2. Defective or lack of weather protection for

exterior wall coverings, including lack of
paint, weathering due to lack of paint or
other approved protective coverings; and/or
3. Broken, rotted, split or buckled exterior

wall coverings or roof coverings.
8. Accordingly, the Commission orders that the Dangerous Buildings Order

violations on property located at 6105 Casper, Parkville, Platte County, Missouri be abated. If Mr.
Friederichs does not voluntarily abate the violations, then the County may proceed to abate the
violations in accordance with the provisions of the Dangerous Buildings Order.

SYSTEM CLASSIFICATION (CRS PROGRAM)

insurance in the FEMA Regional Office in Kansas City. Mr. Leonard presented a plaque to the County
for participation in the National Flood Insurance Program’s Community Rating System. This
recognizes that Platte County has exceeded the basic requirements of participation in this program
through its proactive efforts to reduce loss of lives and mitigate property damage from floods. There
are various levels which can be achieved through this program from Level 1 to Level 10. Platte County
has earned a rating of Level 6, which is very good. One of the benefits of obtaining this level would be
the reduction in flood insurance rates within the county, but also the reduction of risks of flooding and
its impact on property and threat to lives.
Gale Cantu was recognized for her efforts in helping the county to obtain this rating.
