Excelsior Springs meeting summaries, agendas, and minutes

Agenda-only week in Excelsior Springs: Broadway tax abatements, three historic approvals, and a Flock camera vote ahead

No minutes have been published for any of the three meetings held in Excelsior Springs in the past two weeks, so the records available show what was scheduled for discussion — not what was decided. No votes, dollar amounts, or final outcomes appear in the agendas summarized below. The one item with a recorded date still ahead is a City Council decision on the city's Flock Safety camera agreement.

Tax abatement requests for two E. Broadway properties

The Excelsior Springs Redevelopment Corporation met Oct. 15 to consider and act on two 353 tax abatement applications: one for 100 E. Broadway and one for 106 E. Broadway. The agenda does not state the abatement amounts requested, the terms sought, or the property owners. Whether the corporation acted on either application, and how, is not recorded in the material available.

Three Certificates of Appropriateness reviewed

The Historic Preservation Commission met Oct. 14 with three applications on its agenda: COA 26-024 at 101 W Broadway, COA 26-028 at 525 S Kansas City, and COA 26-030 at 106 E Broadway. The commission was also scheduled to review an administratively approved COA for a sign face change at 255 E Broadway. The agenda does not describe the proposed work at any of the four addresses, and no disposition is recorded.

Council agenda: downtown partnership renewal, electrical panel upgrades

The City Council met Oct. 5 at 6:00 PM in the Council Chambers at Hall of Waters, 201 E Broadway. Two action items were listed: Resolution No. 1685, renewing a professional services agreement with the Downtown Excelsior Partnership, and Resolution No. 1686, concerning downtown electrical panel upgrades. The agenda states no dollar amounts or contract terms for either resolution. The meeting also included approval of minutes from the Sept. 18 budget work session, the Sept. 21 regular meeting and the Sept. 28 special meeting, a Job Corps Time Capsule proclamation, and a public comment period at five minutes per speaker. No outcome is recorded.

Coming up

City Council, Oct. 19. The council is scheduled to consider terminating its agreement with Flock Safety and removing cameras (Resolution No. 1687). The same agenda lists a maintenance agreement with Stryker Sales, LLC for Fire Department equipment (Resolution No. 1688); acceptance of the Public Milwaukee Street Pressure Sewer Main Extension (Ordinance No. 26-10-01); an amendment to the Municipal Code on trash rates (Ordinance No. 26-10-02); and an amendment to the Municipal Code on water rates (Ordinance No. 26-10-03). The agenda does not state proposed rate figures or the terms of the Flock Safety agreement.

Residents can attend the Oct. 19 council meeting at the Council Chambers at Hall of Waters, 201 E Broadway; the agenda does not list a start time in the material provided.

Minutes for the Oct. 5, Oct. 14 and Oct. 15 meetings were not available for this roundup. Outcomes will be reported from the official minutes when they are published.

Downtown electrical work and partnership renewal on Excelsior Springs agendas; no minutes yet published

Excelsior Springs officials placed downtown electrical infrastructure and a downtown partnership agreement on meeting agendas over the past two weeks, but the records provided do not show whether either was approved. No minutes have been published for the Sept. 29 or Oct. 5 sessions, so outcomes are not established. A separate Parks and Recreation Board meeting scheduled for Sept. 29 was cancelled.

City Council: two resolutions on the Oct. 5 agenda

The City Council agenda for Monday, Oct. 5, 2026, listed two action items: Resolution No. 1685, renewing a Professional Services Agreement with the Downtown Excelsior Partnership, and Resolution No. 1686, on downtown electrical panel upgrades. The meeting was scheduled for 6:00 PM in the Council Chambers at Hall of Waters, 201 E Broadway.

The agenda also listed approval of minutes from three prior sessions — the Sept. 18 budget work session, the Sept. 21 regular meeting and the Sept. 28 special meeting — a proclamation for a Job Corps Time Capsule, and a public comment period with five minutes per speaker.

The agenda states no dollar amounts or contract details for either resolution. Because no minutes have been published, the records do not establish whether the council voted on these items, or how.

Trust authority: funding reallocation request

The Capital Improvements/Transportation Trust Authority met Tuesday, Sept. 29, 2026, at 4:00 PM in Council Chambers, 201 E. Broadway. Its agenda listed one action item: approval of a request to reallocate funding for downtown electrical infrastructure, filed under "Electrical Upgrades." The remaining agenda items were procedural — call to order, pledge, roll call, comments and adjournment. No minutes have been published, so no vote or outcome is confirmed.

Parks and Recreation Board: Sept. 29 meeting cancelled

The Parks and Recreation Board meeting scheduled for Tuesday, Sept. 29, 2026, at 6:00 PM was cancelled. Its agenda had been routine — call to order, minutes, financial reports, staff reports and discussion of the FY27 budget. The FY27 ESPR Budget was listed as new business, and financial report and budget approval items were on the agenda. No decisions were made because the meeting did not occur.

Coming up

Historic Preservation Commission, Oct. 14: the commission is scheduled to consider three Certificates of Appropriateness — COA 26-024 at 101 W Broadway, COA 26-028 at 525 S Kansas City and COA 26-030 at 106 E Broadway. It will also review an administratively approved sign face change at 255 E Broadway. The records provided do not list a time or location for this meeting.
