City Administrator’s Report for 6/6/2014

City Administrator’s Report
FROM: Mahesh Sharma, City Administrator

 Public Works
The final 525 feet of sewer line to be installed as part of the White Oak West Line A Sanitary Sewer project will utilize the directional boring process and is scheduled to start Monday June 9th. The process will require the directional drill rig to sit in the middle of 83rd street between Stark Avenue and Kentucky Avenue; this will cause the one block section of 83rd Street to be closed for approximately 2 weeks. The contractor will also continue to work on restoration activities of the project by installing concrete curbs, sidewalks and driveways.

Strong storms moved through the City on Tuesday night and Public Works is proud to say we did not experience any significant storm water backups at storm inlets. Some tree damage was observed in the City, but there was not a widespread problem. Public Works received 4 phone calls about locations where limbs and brush could be disposed. Public Works referred the callers to the 2 local drop-off facilities operated by Missouri Organic; one located at 7700 E. 40 Highway and is open 6 days a week and the second is located at the intersection of Raytown Road and 470 Highway and is only open on Saturdays.

EMS
Raytown Emergency Medical Services crews participated in a CEVO (Certified Emergency Vehicle Operations) Course recently. Two Raytown EMS staff became certified instructors in this course. This course consisted of textbook studies as well as driving practice courses.

Recently, Director Doug Jonesi and Kim LeSage attended a one-day conference regarding compliance with government and HIPAA regulations. The conference was presented by Page, Wolfberg, and Wirth, who are experts in the field of EMS.
