The commission held two of four planned public hearings last week in Kearney and Gladstone. Commissioners will use the hearings to receive public input to help finalize their proposal.

In the Northland, a graduate degree designed by a Polish former World War II resistance fighter seems to be the qualification of choice for police chiefs. Gladstone Director of Public S a f e t y Mike Hasty is among four curr e n t Northland p o l i c e Mike Hasty heads — including those in Liberty, North Kansas City and Riverside — with a Masters in Public Affairs from Park University. When the Germans invaded Poland in 1939, Jerzy Hauptman worked for the water department in the capital, Warsaw. He escaped into the city’s familiar water and sewer system and joined the Polish resistance. After migrating to the United States after the war, Hauptmann became an internationally recognized scholar in political science and public administration. He taught at Park for
more than half a century. In 1982, Hauptmann created the MPA program, and Hasty studied under him during the late 1990s. The head of Gladstone’s police and fire departments fondly remembers the WWII veteran. “He had a very interesting background, and he shared a lot of these experiences that shaped his philosophy,� he said. “He was a very dynamic person and very engaging.� Liberty Chief of Police James Simpson said Hauptman looked like Albert Einstein, had a grandfatherly manner and was one of the sharpest people he has ever med. The current dean of the Hauptmann School of Public Affairs, professor Laurie N. DiPadova-Stocks, said the degree Hauptman created has four areas of concentration: public management, nonprofit and community services management, disaster and emergency management, and business, government and global society. She said it attracts students who

Silver Haired Legislature to be topic for grandfamilies The Northland Grandfamilies Program will hold its Monday, June 24, meeting at 6 p.m. at Platte Woods United Methodist Church, 7310 NW Prairie View Road in Kansas City. Senior advocate Lois Fitzpatrick will present “Advocating for Grandparents through the Silver Haired Legislature.” The Silver Haired Legislature is a formally elected body of citizens 60 years and older that advocates legislation for Missouri’s older adults. All members are volunteers who serve without pay and are elected by senior citizens from each of the state’s 10 Area Agencies on Aging.
The elected group meets for two days in the fall to conduct a model legislative session. At that time, members present, debate and vote on a pre-prepared docket of bills and resolutions that concern legislation which affects the lives of not only the elderly but all Missouri citizens. From the docket, five bills having the highest priority are selected as the group’s main focus for the upcoming year. At the Northland Grandfamilies meeting, Fitzpatrick will present an overview of the Silver Haired Legislature and address the concerns of the grandparents raising children. Northland Grandfamilies is a cooperative program between Clay County Senior Services, the Platte County Senior Fund and the University of Missouri Extension Council in Clay County. In addition to the monthly support group meetings, the program provides education, advocacy and referrals to various social service agencies for grandparents and other relatives raising children. To attend the June 24 meeting or to learn more about the Northland Grandfamilies Program, call the University of Missouri Extension Office at 407-3490.

Clay County vaccination campaign targets whooping cough Clay County Public Health Center will begin a mass Tdap vaccination campaign in July 2013 targeting child care and nursery workers, parents and grandparents of young children, and students entering health care professions. Tdap is a booster-type shot that protects those age 11 years and older against tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis. The county continues to see pertussis, or whooping cough, reappear each year. Adults can unknowingly have the disease and pass it along to infants and young children. Infants receive their first dose of protection against pertussis at 2 months old but are not fully protected until 12 to 15 months of age. “We’ve developed a plan to reach folks who are at high risk for spreading the disease to others and who may not have insurance or access to the vaccine,” said Sue Miller, a registered nurse with the Clay County Health Center, in a press release. The health center plans to send nurses to large child care facilities that specifically requested the vaccine during a spring survey. There also will be afternoon and evening clinics until 7:30 p.m. Thursdays, July 15 and 22, at the

New grandparents and parents as well as child care workers and students can walk in between 8:30 and 11 a.m. Monday through Friday without an appointment and receive the free Tdap vaccine. “We are very excited about this opportunity to provide protection to our littlest citizens through
vaccinating those that care the most about them and their health,” Miller said. “Students just entering health care professions may be uninsured, and it’s important that they protect themselves and their patients. It isn’t often we get the opportunity to provide free vaccinations, so we hope many will take advantage of this opportunity.” For information on appointment times for afternoons or evening clinics, call 595-4355.

Gladstone Dispatch A5
Constitution proposal Since January, the 14-member Clay County Constitution Commission has worked on drafting a conceptual outline of a new county constitution that, if approved by voters, would replace the constitution the county has operated under since its creation. Members say the goal of the constitution is to give Clay County citizens more control over the county’s affairs and to create a structure that encourages county government to work more efficiently with other local governing entities including school boards and special districts. County council Central leadership for the county in the proposed constitution would come from a seven-member county council that would replace the current county commission. The council would include six elected district representatives and one county chair elected at large. Members of the council would serve fouryear terms and receive compensation of $1,000 per month. The county chair would receive $2,000 per month. Each council member would have one vote on county decisions. The county chair would preside over council meetings
and be the county’s primary political leader. The chair would have one vote and not have the power to veto decisions. Additionally, the chair would make nominations for the county’s boards and commissions, the members of which would be appointed by the council. The county council would elected one of its members as vice chair to serve in the absence of the chair. Members of the council would be required to adopt a balanced unified county budget annually. County administrator The proposed county administrator would be the chief administrative officer of the county. The administrator would be appointed by a majority of the entire county council based on qualifications related to education and experience in public administration. Duties of the position would include direct responsibility for all county daily administrative functions; supervising department heads and county employees, except separately elected officials; overseeing the preparation of the county budget; attending county council meetings; preparing meeting agendas, ordinances, resolutions and research to assist the council in deliberations; and performing other duties as assigned by the council.
Department heads Department heads nominated based on education and professional experience would be appointed by the county administrator with approval from a majority of the county council. Other officeholders The county prosecutor and county sheriff would continue to be elected by a public vote. Each would serve four-year terms and meet qualifications provided by state statute. The prosecutor and sheriff would each appoint employees of their respective departments. Additionally, the county court clerk and public administrator would be appointed by the judges of the Clay County Circuit Court. Party affiliations Members of the Constitution Commission have yet to decide whether the new county government should be elected in a partisan or non-partisan form. Unable to come to a consensus through several deliberations, commissioners will use the upcoming public hearings as an opportunity to ask voters their opinions on the matter. “In particular, we are interesting in hearing back about the partisan, non-partisan subject,� said Carol Suter, who co-chairs the commission with
Craig Porter. “We are really looking for feedback on that.� The end decision would play a vital factor in determining when new county elections would take place. If partisan, elections would be held in November, and if non-partisan, elections would take place in April. Taxes Property and sales taxes could be increased only by a majority of county voters in a public election, if the proposed constitution is adopted as it stands. The county’s real and personal property tax levy would be set at a maximum of 14 cents for each 100 dollars of assessed valuation, a decrease from the current 24-cent levy maximum. Other provisions The proposed constitution includes provisions outlining processes for initiatives, referendums and recalls as well as making amendments to the constitution. Additionally, the new document would set in place an automatic review of the constitution every 10 years. The full constitution summary, along with minutes from each of the Constitution Commission’s meetings can be found at www.claycoconstitution.info.
chief: NKC, Riverside, Liberty, Parkville police leaders all connected to same school Continued from Page A1 are working professionals in public service, such as police, but also military, nonprofit and education sector employees, and business people. There are also a number of international students. The dean said that one distinctive characteristic of this MPA program is that it recognizes that the real work of the professions is found in relationships between sectors and not simply within one sector. “We do our work interacting with people working in organizations in other sectors,� she said. “My guess is that this feature is helpful to leaders in law enforcement. The Gladstone chief, a 1997 graduate, agreed. “Having a graduate
degree in public affairs prepared me to be able to better communicate and work with people who had different missions in public service.� He chose the Park degree because he thought it offered a more robust curriculum than other schools, and the class schedule and downtown Kansas City location were convenient. Hasty studied and graduated with Liberty’s current police chief, James Simpson. “We both kind of went in there as partners,� he said. Both said the MPA improved their communication skills. “It made me a much better writer because there was a lot of research involved and writing of papers, as well as presentations to others, so it honed public
speaking, too.� The Liberty police chief said his writing improved considerably during the course, not least because Hauptman believed in being concise and usually wouldn’t accept more than a page length for essay answers. He also taught Simpson the importance of word selection — with a somewhat dark sense of humor. “He once told me that he held my feelings in his mouth like so much warm spit,� Simpson said. “He goes, ‘I want to know your opinion, I don’t care if you think or you feel.’ It was funny, but he was right.� The MPA program also
broadens the frame of reference of even seasoned law enforcement personnel, Hasty said. “I’d been in public safety for all my adult career and so I found meeting, and working and studying with other people in other areas gave me another avenue of reference to explore.� Other Northland police chiefs who graduated from the Hauptmann School of Public Affairs are Greg Mills, Riverside, 1997, and Steve Beamer, North Kansas City, 1998. Parkville Police Chief Kevin Chrisman also has a Park connection. He received a bachelor’s degree from the university in 1993.
County: Public response indicates non-partisan preference Continued from Page A1 hearings was a unified one. All of the approximately two dozen people who attended the meetings voiced support for the non-partisan option. “Both nights people said they want non-partisan elections. That would be our preference as well, and we are encouraged by that,� said Suter. County resident Bill Feldman said he preferred the non-partisan option because of the quality of officials he thought it could produce. “I believe in non-partisan elections because you get the best people elected that way,� he said. “I thought the proposal was very good. It was well thought out.� Commissioners said they would wait to make their final decision on the issue after the remaining two hearings were held Wednesday, June 19, in Liberty and Tuesday, June 25, in North Kansas City. “Obviously, you have to listen to people, and if that’s how they feel, I’m fine with it. It probably makes more sense for county government,� Craig Porter, commission co-chair, said. Clay County Sheriff Paul Vescovo and County Auditor Sheila Ernzen also attended the forums to

express their support for the new constitution and non-partisan measure. “I went to the hearing because I wanted to share my thoughts and opinions with the committee. I think we definitely need a change in Clay County,� Ernzen said. “The reason I think non-partisan is great is that when you are serving in a county job, you have to serve all your citizens no matter your party. It doesn’t matter if you’re Democrat or Republican. It matters if you’re going to do what needs to be done.� At the conclusion of the first two hearings, commissioners said they were encouraged by the feedback they had received. “It seems like there is a lot of support. I think people are aware of the current issues of Clay County government,� Porter said. Suter added she was pleased with the turnouts so far. “I’m really pleased people have shown up,� she said. “(The Gladstone) audience was particularly enthusiastic. It was fun to have people excited.�

Rebuilding Together opens store volunteers is less serious. “One thing that keeps them coming back is they almost always get hugs or food after a job is finished,” McQuerry said. “It’s the kind of work you enjoy.” Although other organizations operate similar stores, McQuerry said items left at the curb were the biggest competition. “Habitat for Humanity’s ReStore was a big help for us,” he said. “They said our biggest competition is when people just drag an unused or unwanted item to the curb. We can improve on that in several ways.” He said he hoped to receive retail scratch-anddent donations, as well

Rebuilding Together Clay County has opened a Rebuilding Together Store for new and used building supplies. Doors, cabinets, sinks and other items are being collected in a space near Rebuilding Together’s offices in Freedom House, 2050 Plumbers Way in Liberty. The materials will be sold to help raise funds for the nonprofit organization and used in its many home repair and safety projects for homeowners in need. “We’ve always had calls to donate building materials, but we weren’t set up to accept them,” said Executive Director and founder Clay McQuerry. “I’ve always wished we could take advantage of this because it would be a way to raise funds and, being a ‘green’ organization, we’ve always been involved in recycling, re-using and re-purposing.” Finding the right space at an affordable cost was not easy, but a space across the parking lot from Freedom House previously used as a thrift store by Love INC opened up. The store should be open for shopping in the near future. In the meantime, store manager is Ed Kephart is listing the current inventory online at craigslist.org. Not all of the items are
sold to raise funds. Some materials are used to repair porches, install grab bars or ramps for older adults or people with disabilities. Pedestal sinks also are in demand because they are much easier to use by someone in a wheelchair. The work can be complex. McQuerry is a certified aging-in-place specialist and before any work is done, Rebuilding Together conducts on-site assessments with teams from Liberty or North Kansas City Hospital. Clay County Senior Services is the largest source of financial support, but the program serves clients of all ages. The volunteer base is also diverse, although retirees make up a large portion of the volunteer workforce. Several bring considerable expertise in construction, plumbing or electrical work. The volunteers sometime see situations that bring tears to even the most experienced among them. “There was one elderly couple who were showering with a garden hose because their plumbing wasn’t working,” McQuerry said. “That was extreme, but old pipes and electrical lines are a common issue. If we can fix things like that, people can stay in their homes. That’s better for everyone.” Another motivation for

as donations from builders and suppliers, in addition to home remodeling projects. The store isn’t the only thing new at Rebuilding Together. Ed Kephart has joined the organization as project manager, something McQuerry said will be invaluable. Kephart brings 25 years of building and remodeling experience and is providing guidance for volunteer teams. “We can take on just about any project now,” McQuerry said. “This gives us some much needed consistency.” For more information, visit www.rebuildingtogetherclaycounty.org or call 781-8985.
