Gray Elementary fourth grade teacher named state Outstanding Elementary Math Teacher

(From Springfield Public Schools)

Cary Sikes, a fourth-grade teacher at Gray Elementary School and SPS Math CDC chairman, was named Outstanding Elementary Math Teacher by the Missouri Council of Teachers of Mathematics. He received his award on Nov. 30 in Columbia, Missouri, at the MCTM Annual Conference.

"I work hard in my classroom to develop lifelong mathematicians," said Sikes. "I love math and I work tirelessly to develop that love in my students. My greatest wish is that students will leave my classroom feeling ready to tackle any problem."



Sikes was one of six educators who were recognized across Missouri as Outstanding Educators, but he alone was recognized as the top elementary teacher committed to teaching mathematics.

"This is a big award for a teacher, and only one receives this award in the entire state of Missouri," said Catherine Castillo, coordinator of 21st century numeracy. "It's a huge honor for Cary from this organization."

Springfield Poilce arrest bank robbery suspect

(From the Springfield Police Department)

On December 4, 2018, Springfield Police Officers arrested Donald D. Hosey III for the robbery of Guaranty Bank on November 29, 2018.

Tips from the public, following a release of surveillance images, helped lead to the arrest. 



Hosey was charged on December 5, 2018, with First Degree Robbery and is currently being held in the Greene County Jail on a $50,000 bond.

Petition audit report gives City of Seymour lowest possible rating

(From State Auditor Nicole Galloway)

Missouri State Auditor Nicole Galloway today released the findings of a citizen-requested audit of the city of Seymour, located in Webster County. The report found numerous weaknesses in the city's operations and financial condition, and gave a rating of "poor," the lowest possible rating.

"The successful petition initiative that led to this audit began with concerned residents of Seymour," Auditor Galloway said. "During our review, we discovered several areas with significant problems that need to be addressed by city officials. I urge them to take action, without delay, to restore public trust and to better serve the citizens of Seymour."

The audit found the city's utility operations, electric, water and sewer services, heavily subsidized the general fund of the city. The Board of Aldermen transferred substantial amounts from the three utility accounts to the city's general fund -- more than $560,000 in fiscal year 2017. These transfers represent the majority of operating income from the utilities and indicate that utility rates may be higher than necessary.



In addition, the City Administrator granted reduced utility charges or even waived the charges as economic incentives, without approval by the Board. A commercial business saved $28,000 by being charged a lower electric rate than it should have paid, in exchange for opening a new grocery store; in another instance, the city waived $1,000 in electric charges for a religious organization as an incentive for the organization to locate in Seymour. These types of exemptions reduce city revenues and could create higher utility rates for other customers.

The audit also found that under the city code, tax-exempt 501(c)(3) entities are not billed for monthly sewer charges. That violates Article VI, Section 23, Missouri Constitution, which specifically prohibits counties, cities or other political subdivisions from granting public money or things of value to any corporation, association or individual.

Despite the Board of Aldermen relying on transfers from utility funds to subsidize the general fund, poor budgeting practices led to the Board unknowingly approving deficit budgets for the general fund and library fund in fiscal year 2017. The audit found numerous internal control weaknesses, lax controls over disbursements, a lack of financial reporting to the Board, and a lack of monitoring by the Board.

Other problems were found, including disbursements being made from the wrong funds and lack of written contracts and competitive bids. The audit also found cash bonuses being paid to city employees and the Board allowing city resources to be used for private gain.

The audit includes several recommendations for the Board of Aldermen to follow to address the problems detailed in the report. The full audit of the city of Seymour can be found here.

Springfield Police to hold DWI saturation patrol

(From the Springfield Police Department)

On Friday, December 7th, Springfield Police Officers will conduct a saturation patrol, looking for impaired drivers in the city.

Impaired drivers are a danger to law-abiding motorists and pedestrians, and it is our Department’s goal to mitigate this danger to the best of our ability. 

These officers will not be taken away from answering calls for service, rather, they will be working overtime on grant funds from the Missouri Department of Transportation.

The Filbeck vehicle traveled off the roadway and overturned, partially ejecting Filbeck and ejecting a passenger, Cassi A. Kilby, 26, Springfield, neither of whom was wearing a seat belt.


Death investigator Tom Van de Berg with the Greene County Medical Examiner's office pronounced Filbeck dead at the scene.

Airport Task Force presents findings to Springfield City Council

(From the City of Springfield)

A nine-member task force comprised of representatives appointed by City Council presented its report Dec. 4 . The report outlined to the Council the pros and cons of transferring the Springfield-Branson National Airport’s governance and ownership to a regional airport authority or similar model.

Task force co-chair Jim Anderson, who serves on the airport’s 11-member board of directors, said while the idea of a change in governance at the airport has been discussed informally for decades, City Council formed the task force earlier this year at the request of the board.

Anderson and fellow task force members Stephanie Sumners, representing Ozarks Technical Community College, and Bill Hammitt, president of AMPROD Holdings and representing the Springfield Area Chamber of Commerce, co-presented the report. Airport Director of Aviation Brian Weiler and other airport staff were also on hand to answer questions.



The task force stressed to Council that the exploration was not conducted due to problems with current governance, but that they felt a change could help the airport by allowing it to streamline decisions, be more entrepreneurial and have greater flexibility to respond to the unique and dynamic aviation industry.

“We applaud City Council for taking the steps to assemble this task force to complete a comprehensive review to explore this possibility,” Anderson said.

The task force’s charge was to research the advantages, disadvantages, feasibility and community impact of such a transition. Maintaining airport employees’ rates of pay, health insurance and retirement benefits is a top concern.

The task force met seven times, from July through November, to hear from representatives from the airport, the Missouri Local Government Employee Retirement System (LAGERS), the Federal Aviation Administration, the Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT), the Des Moines International Airport, the Tulsa International Airport, the Northwest Arkansas Regional Airport, the city of Fayetteville, Arkansas, the Springfield Area Chamber of Commerce, the Springfield Convention & Visitors Bureau, and from professionals with experience in airport governance options and in bond financing of public infrastructure projects.

Airlines with service out of the Springfield-Branson National Airport are American Airlines, with service to Charlotte, Chicago and Dallas; Allegiant, with service to Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Orlando, Tampa/St. Pete, Phoenix, Punta Gorda/Fort Myers (seasonal) and Destin/Fort Walton Beach (seasonal); Delta, with service to Atlanta; and United, with service to Chicago, Denver and Houston.

Known as a City “enterprise fund,” the airport already operates somewhat independently because it receives no tax support and is self-sufficient, Anderson said. It has an annual economic impact of approximately $500 million, has 100 full-time employees, contains 40 businesses, has its own police and fire departments, and is expected to serve 1 million passengers in 2018. Last year, the airport served a record-breaking 993,129 passengers.

Approximately 41 percent of the top 100 airports in the U.S. are operated by airport authorities. Eight of those have transitioned from municipally operated entities since 2000, with none having transitioned back.

The task force made the following recommendations to City Council:

*That steps be taken to migrate the governance structure of the Springfield-Branson National Airport from a City department to a standalone Regional Airport Authority.

*That during such conversion process, existing airport employees be recognized as a significant asset and experience no reduction in pay or benefits as a result of this change.

*That the City retain the current process to appoint Airport Board members, but changes be made to allow greater regional representation.

*That an Airport Authority Implementation Committee be established and made up of qualified professionals to recommend specific steps needed to complete this process.

The Airport Authority Implementation Committee would analyze factors such as asset ownership, debt coverage, access to capital, employee benefits, migration method and how the airport would take over the services currently provided by the City, such as issuing bonds and hiring employees.

The task force did not recommend a timeline for the transition. According to Weiler, the transition may require a change to the City Charter and review by an implementation team.
