AGENDA ITEM NO. 4: Presentation by Cindy Houck regarding noise complaints.
Ms. Cindy Houck was not in attendance to speak on the noise complaints.
Mayor Mills asked Police Officer Candie Swinney to give a report about this matter.
Police Officer Swinney reported that the police department was working with Ms. Houck to help with the loud music from vehicles and had issued citations to violators.
A survey had been conducted of other cities and it showed that about half of the cities used the distance of 100 feet, same as Shawnee, and the other half had 50 feet prohibiting sound amplification system outside the vehicle.
Mr. Richard Boyd and Mr. Ken Harris live in the area and stated they understood Ms. Houck’s complaints.
It was the Commission’s consensus for the city attorney to draft an ordinance changing the distance from 100 feet to 50 feet for consideration at the next meeting.
AGENDA ITEM NO. 5: Presentation by Jim Sims regarding handicap accessibility issues.
City Manager Jim Collard noted Mr. Jim Sims could not attend and asked to defer this to the next City Commission meeting.

City Treasurer/Finance Director Becky Cragin reported that a year ago, before her employment with the City, she understood that the Commission had approved for an agreement to be drawn up between the City and SCCDA to write off the ending balances for the “Due to General Fund” from the 521 SCCDA fund for the past two fiscal years and previous years.
By bringing this forth now, it would be a housekeeping matter to get this cleared off the books before starting the next fiscal year.
A motion was made by Commissioner Claybrook, seconded by Vice Mayor Peterson, to reaffirm the Commission’s decision from last year and forgive a) 2002-2003 year in the amount of $174,895.89; and b) 2003-2004 year in the amount of $67,132.27 from the “Due to General Fund” in the 521 Shawnee Civic and Cultural Development Authority Fund.

City Treasurer Becky Cragin presented the “City of Shawnee Investment Policy” for the Commission’s perusal to be considered at the next meeting.
