• Police Update

Police Chief Paul Williams has provided you with the monthly sworn staffing report and the monthly report detailing July crime statistics, as well as the Uniform Crime Report statistics, year-to-date. Year-to-date, crime continues to be down versus 2017 across the board. Sworn staffing numbers have not changed this month.

• Parks Update
Parks Director Bob Belote has provided you with a Parks update. One highlight I will point out is the recent revealing of a sculpture honoring retired Ozarks Greenways executive director Terry Whaley at the Kearney Street Trailhead for the Frisco Highline Trail. Whaley retired in 2017 after 22 years as executive director. The nonprofit trail advocacy organization was created in 1991.

• Transportation Survey Continues

Just a reminder that the City continues to seek citizen feedback on the proposed list of new roadway construction projects to be included in the next cycle of the 1/4-cent sales tax program. A survey is available online at springfieldmo.gov/election. Paper copies of the survey are available at the Citizen Resource Center, which is inside the Busch Municipal Building lobby.

• Celebration of the Life of Oliver Brown

Several of you joined Drury University, NAACP and other partners for a celebration Aug. 19 of the life of Oliver Brown. Oliver was a pastor at Benton AME Church, here in Springfield and is best known for being the namesake of the landmark Supreme Court case “Brown et al V Board of Education” which ended segregation in American Schools. His daughter Cheryl Brown Henderson gave a poignant speech, in which she referenced her dad’s time in Springfield as “when he really came into his own as a civil rights activist.”
