If you don't want to swim in a lake full of trash, we don't recommend you discard your trash that way. waxes on your car will be the same as the water.

Number seven, you see some of the items that will likely take a little more of our discussion and that I would like us to have a vote on today as well. So these are items we're all going to formally vote on today. I think the vote would be to as a commission to either approve or not approve the suggested changes. Mr. Head, I'm just going to ask real quickly. In some instances, we may still be asking for other language. So then we'll have a, I would say perhaps kind of later, we 'll have an additional vote and a later meeting where we formally say this is the final package. >> Yeah, give me the, this is what we want to do going forward.

We're going to go ahead and push that off until next month. We were all here until 1am last night, so we're going to do this when we have fresher eyes and fresher minds and give staff a little bit more time to pull some additional information together. So we will remove that and can I get a motion to approve the agenda as amended unless there's any discussion? Chair? Yes. I move to approve the agenda as amended. I second. I think we have a motion and a second to approve the amended agenda. Can we get a vote, please? Vice Chair Pryor? Aye. Council Member Cravens? Aye. Council Member Frazier? Aye. Chair Shields?

Keeping 500 miles of public sewer lines flowing keeps utility costs low and our environment healthy. The Lee's Summit Water Utilities Operations Team does this every day. Sewer lines can be blocked with everything from roots to flushable wipes to food grease. When a potential blockage is identified, teams use detailed mapping to locate access points. My camera's at 18038. A camera truck parks at one end of the sewer line and a jet truck at the other. The camera truck carries a rover-type camera, which the team lowers into the manhole. The operator then drives the camera into the pipe, where it views and records from its adjustable lens. Here, it can identify the cause and precise location of the blockage. The jet truck will then use high-pressure water to remove the blockage, starting at the opposite end of the line. The operator inserts the jet head into the manhole. Pressurized water shoots out of the head, clearing out debris and propelling it forward. The camera observes this process, and the two operators communicate via walkie-talkie to coordinate movement. Once the jet head has passed the blockage, the operator re els it back in. The camera can then inspect the pipe to see if the blockage is cleared. Yeah, go ahead and pull out. With the job complete, the camera is removed, cleaned, and returned to the truck, and the crew moves on to the next job. In addition to addressing identified problems, the team will systematically check every line in the city in a five- year pe …

I live in Winter Garden, Winterset Gardens. My comment has to do with the proposal that I've heard about a development at Longview and prior. And I will just tell you that most of my neighbors are very concerned and I'm going to give you some reasons why. I've heard 430-ish units, which is a lot. As you all know, we're being part of the city. We've had a lot of work on prior and Longview. And I personally don't see how it can, even though it's new , how it can handle that kind of development at that corner. Most of us moved out to that part of town because we like the country feel out there. David Gale has been recognized nationally for keeping the land the way it was and not over developing, which is another plus for that area. And I also understand that the developer who's supposed …
