TABLE OF CONTENTS

For the past several months, I have had the pleasure to serve as the Executive Director of the

Regional Council. Beginning June 2018, I served as the Interim Executive Director. During the past

year, the agency as a whole has seen many accomplishments but also seen yet another historic

natural disaster due to the devastating flood that began in March 2019 and still continues today.

The rising floodwaters affected numerous communities, farms, lives, roads, bridges, levees and

drainage systems throughout the five-county region.

In FY ’19, the Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS) Plan was revamped and

approved by the Economic Development Administration on February 15, 2019. The five-year plan for

our region will be in effect from 2018-2023 for regional economic development. Staff buckled down

to successfully complete and submit a Better Utilizing Investments to Leverage Development

(BUILD) grant for the City of Maryville. The grant was awarded in December 2018 in the amount of

$10.4M to make improvements to the South Main corridor. In December, the agency received the

announcement of a 604b grant funded through the Missouri Department of Natural Resources to

complete a feasibility study for a regionalization wastewater project for the communities of

Graham, Maitland and Skidmore. A total of five deteriorating bridges will be replaced in the

counties of Gentry, Nodaway and Worth. These bridges were awarded from a 2nd round of

Community Development Block Grant funding through the Missouri Department of Economic

Development. Our agency launched a new website in April 2019 and can be viewed at

www.nwmorcog.org to learn more about our programs and things we have accomplished this past

year.

Moving forward into FY ’20, our staff will continue to dedicate our combined expertise and

professionalism to serve our entire five-county region with the programs that are offered, which

includes economic development, grant administration, hazard mitigation, solid waste,

transportation, and workforce development.

As a new year begins at the RCOG, we are looking forward to seeing what new projects can be

generated and the outcomes of all current projects. My staff and I thank you for your continued

support and membership and appreciate the opportunity to serve the communities of northwest

Missouri. If your local government requires any assistance, please contact our office or stop in to

visit.

FROM THE DIRECTOR

http://www.nwmorcog.org

Since its inception in 1968, the Northwest Missouri

Regional Council of Governments (NWMORCOG)

has provided its member communities with an

array of services. Through planning, program

coordination, advocacy and technical assistance,

NWMORCOG staff strives to make the region and

its communities a better place to live and work.

The Northwest Missouri Regional Council of

Governments also serves its member communities

by providing a forum for regional collaboration and

progression. Through this regional partnership,

community representatives can come together to

tackle common obstacles and reach common

goals. Much of NWMORCOG’s efforts continue to

focus on the preparation and management of

member communities’ grant programs. Cuts to

various programs have made the Regional

Council’s role more important for its member

communities. When funds get tight, the staff works

harder to capture dwindling resources and ensure

the region remains competitive.

Services may also be provided to other non-profit

organizations, on a case by case basis, as long as

Council resources are available. These services

include, but are not limited to the following:

• Coordination between Local Jurisdictions

• Support for Economic Development Projects

and Programs

• Assistance with Meeting Coordination and

Facilitation

• Mapping and GIS Services (upon request)

• Community and Strategic Planning Facilitation

• Grant Research and Writing

• Economic Development Studies

• Regional Advocacy

• Historic Preservation

• Research and Analysis

• Community Income Surveys

• Planning and Zoning Activities

• Hazard Mitigation Planning

• Labor Market Information

• U.S. Census Data

• Representation at Local Community Meetings

(by request)

• Representation at Statewide and National

Meetings

• Solid Waste, Resource Recovery and Water

Resource Planning.

The Regional Council helped secure and

administer a grant funded through the Missouri

Department of Economic Development, CDBG

Start Smart program in the amount of $1 million to

build the new Mosaic Child Care and Education

Center in Maryville.

Hazard Mitigation Planning

Hazard mitigation is the means by which

communities, businesses and citizens can reduce

the impacts of a disaster by taking action before a

hazard event occurs. The first action necessary to

reduce the effects of a disaster is the preparation

and implementation of a mitigation strategy

presented through a hazard mitigation plan. This

effort is completed by coordinating meetings

among local elected officials, school district

officials, local citizens, and representatives from

businesses and service agencies to review goals,

objectives and achievable actions that will address

their community’s vulnerabilities in the occurrence

of a natural disaster. Each FEMA-approved hazard

mitigation plan is updated every five years.

Local County Plans

In January 2019, the Regional Council began

collaborating with Atchison County to update the

Atchison County Multi-jurisdictional Hazard

Mitigation Plan. Four public meetings were held in

the planning

process with

city and

county

officials,

emergency

management

agencies, school leaders, stakeholders and other

interested individuals to update the mitigation

strategy. Atchison County’s first hazard mitigation

plan was adopted in 2009. This most recent five-

year plan update continues to build on the

foundation established by the 2009 plan, focusing

on existing and potential mitigation actions that

can continue to improve resistance and readiness

to natural disasters. Once the plan is adopted by all

participating jurisdictions in Atchison County, the

updated plan will be fully established across

Atchison County.

Great Northwest Wholesale Water Commission

The Northwest Regional Council continues to

provide support to the Great Northwest Wholesale

Water Commission, serving as the administrative

agent for the joint municipal utility. This

commission seeks to provide wholesale access to

abundant drinking water to the communities of

Cameron, Maysville and Stewartsville.

604b Water Quality Management Grant

The Regional Council

was awarded a Water

Quality Management

Grant, also known as a

604(b), on behalf of

Graham, Maitland,

and Skidmore. The

goal of the project is

to determine the

feasibility of developing a regional wastewater

system in the designated project area. Snyder &

Associates has completed the Preliminary

Engineering Reports on each community’s

wastewater treatment system and developed a list

of options that will help the communities

determine if a regional wastewater system is a

feasible option. This project is funded by the

Department of Natural Resources.

BUILD Maryville South Main Corridor

Improvement Project

The Regional Council assisted in writing the Better

Utilizing Investments to Leverage Development

(BUILD) grant funded by the Federal Highway

Administration (FHWA) to fund Maryville’s South

Main Corridor Improvement Project which was

awarded December 2018. The application

competed nationally for $1.5 billion available

through the program. The federal grant will fund

$10.4 million of the project that is estimated to cost

approximately $12 million. Construction is expected

to begin around July 2020, with an estimated

completion date of August 2022. The City has

contracted with the Regional Council to offer

compliance administrative services throughout the

project.

SPECIAL PROJECTS

A youth program participant organizes

shelves at the Maryville Public Library as part

of his paid work experience.

The Missouri Job Center-Maryville operates the

following Workforce Innovation and Opportunity

Act (WIOA) programs: Adult, Dislocated Worker,

Out-of-School Youth, In-School Youth, and Summer

Jobs League. SkillUP funds were also utilized this

program year. The chart on the following page

identifies the number of individuals assisted within

each of the mentioned programs, as well as the

funds used to assist those individuals with tuition,

paid work experience or On-the-Job Training and

supportive services.

Tuition assistance was provided to those seeking a

four-year degree, a license or certification in the

areas of education, healthcare, transportation,

writing, law enforcement and nutrition.

Paid Work Experience gives youth program

participants an opportunity to learn new skills and

enhance the ones that they already possess. Youth

participants have worked as library assistant, retail

customer service, hospitality aide, server and

recreational assistant for paid work experience.

Participating employers were Maryville Public

Library, Rapid Elite, Cell Phone USA, Maryville

Living Center, Oak Pointe and MTE. While these

businesses are all in Nodaway County, the goal of

the Missouri Job Center is to involve youth from

Atchison, Gentry, Holt, and Worth counties in the

coming program year.

RCOG staff completed an application for funds

through the Gary G. Taylor Charitable Trust in May.

If awarded, the funds will be used to cover staff

time, transportation costs and office supplies to

allow the Job Center staff to better serve residents

in the outlying counties of Atchison, Gentry, Holt,

and Worth following a pop-up job center model.

Awards will be announced the beginning of

August.

Missouri Job Center staff also works with

individuals who are receiving Unemployment

Insurance (UI) that have been referred by the

Missouri Department of Labor and Industrial

Relations to receive assistance regaining

employment. Job Center staff conducts an average

of three Re-employment Services and Eligibility

Assessment (RESEA) appointments per week.

Currently staff time spent on RESEA’s is not

reimbursed but we continue to serve these

individuals so they do not have to travel to St.

Joseph or Chillicothe for their appointments. We

have asked for reimbursement for staff time and

the request is currently being considered.

The Missouri Job Center, along with Nodaway

County Economic Development, sponsored a job

fair on June 18th at Northwest Technical School in

Maryville with 14 employers participating and

approximately 47 job seekers in attendance. We

have also hosted many hiring events for specific

employers at our office throughout the past year.

ONE-STOP OPERATOR The Northwest Missouri Regional Council of Governments service area is part of a large eighteen-county region

recognized by the State of Missouri as a Workforce Development Area. As part of this designation, the

Northwest Workforce Development Board, based in Trenton, Missouri, is responsible for the operation of four

Missouri Job Centers and the implementation of the workforce development system with eighteen federally

mandated partners under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA). To assist with the coordination

of service delivery for the one-stop system in the region, federal legislation mandates that the Northwest

Workforce Development Board procure a One-Stop Operator to perform coordinated service delivery among the

partners.

In 2017, the Northwest Missouri Regional Council of Governments was selected to fulfill the duties of the One-Stop

Operator. Kim Mildward serves as the One-Stop Operator for the Northwest Workforce Development Board.

The Northwest Missouri Regional Council of

Government’s five-county region is federally

recognized by the Department of Commerce-

Economic Development Administration (EDA) as an

Economic Development District. As part of the

designation, EDA supports the Regional Council

with an annual partnership planning investment,

which is used to facilitate the development,

implementation, and the revision of the

Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy

(CEDS). The 2018-2023 CEDS was adopted on

October 25, 2018. Since the plan’s adoption, the

Regional Council with its partners have worked on

several projects related to document goals to help

northwest Missouri grow and continue to prosper.

From Maker to Made is a new series of local

workshops that are being offered to entrepreneurs

and makers to assist with developing successful

businesses which often start as home-based

businesses. The first event held February 28, 2019,

featured speakers from three area retail businesses

about how they started their businesses and

lessons learned. Members in attendance were

given the opportunity to talk with local

organizations about the types of workshops and

support they would like to see, to help small

businesses grow in northwest Missouri. The

Regional Council is proud to partner with local

officials to create an environment that encourages

small business development.

The Regional Council assisted two non-profit

organizations with securing Neighborhood

Assistance Program (NAP) tax credits. Northwest

Missouri Enterprise Facilitation (NWMEF)

submitted an application requesting $70,000 in tax

credits to help continue providing small business

development services in the region. The Mission

Possible Center in Grant City applied for $263,301 in

70% tax credits to construct a new food pantry,

thrift store, and space for Community Services, Inc.

The Regional Council has been working with the

City of Westboro to secure grant funding to

complete a Preliminary Engineering Report (PER)

to determine the feasibility of rehabilitating the

City’s water tower and water distribution system.

The City worked with the U. S. Department of

Agriculture Rural Development to secure a Special

Evaluation Assistance for Rural Communities and

Households (SEARCH) grant to complete a PER.

The Regional Council assisted the Nodaway County

Commission with a Pre-Construction grant

application for the Historic Preservation Fund Grant

Program administered by the Missouri Department

of Natural Resources to fund a Preliminary

Architecture Report (PAR). This report will create a

plan for the necessary repairs for the Nodaway

County Courthouse. The courthouse is listed on

the National Register of Historic Places. If funded,

the county will hire an architecture firm to assess

the building, determine what repairs are needed to

the structure, prioritize the list of repairs and

provide cost estimates to help preserve the

structure.

Flood Recovery

March 2019 will long be remembered as the start of

historic flooding that still plagues much of Atchison

and Holt counties. The Regional Council is here to

help communities with their recovery efforts. The

Regional Council is collaborating with the U.S.

Department of Commerce-Economic Development

Administration, Missouri Department of Economic

Development-Community Development Block

Grant and the Northwest Workforce Development

Board to identify and secure funding to assist with

debris removal, repairs to the transportation

network and water, wastewater, levee repairs and

more. The Regional Council will also be identifying

and securing funds to help our five counties

recover from the economic impact of the flooding

which is expected to continue after the

floodwaters have receded and damages have been

repaired.

GRANT FUNDED PROJECTS

The Northwest Missouri Regional Solid Waste

Management District (SWMD), Region A, serves

the same five-county region as the Regional

Council, providing local communities and

governments easy access to waste reduction

technical services. RCOG staff provides

administration, education, and implementation of

the Northwest Missouri Regional Solid Waste

Management Plan. The SWMD is directed by local

leaders appointed to participate on the Full

Council, Executive Board and Advisory Committee.

For each Grant Call the Executive Board evaluates

and ranks grant applications to award grant funds

for community projects. Funds can be used for

various projects to divert waste, create

opportunities for recycling, new market research

and development, to collect and process compost,

and recycling education. The goal is to encourage

everyone to “reduce, reuse & recycle.”

FY’19 Solid Waste District Highlights

In FY’19, the Northwest Missouri Regional Solid

Waste Management District held a free

composting workshop in Maryville, Missouri. The

workshop was open to all residents in Region A

and was taught by the University of Missouri

Extension. The University of Missouri Extension

taught participants at the workshop how to turn

garden waste, grass, and leaves into nutrient rich

compost.

Furthermore, there were four open projects in

FY’19. The City of Albany was awarded funds to

purchase recycling bins to place in city parks and

encourage community recycling. The Northwest

Missouri Regional Council of Governments used its

awarded funds to support the Nodaway County

Household Hazardous Waste Collection Site. Four

HHW collections were held in FY’19, serving 94

residents and diverting 2.6 tons of household

hazardous waste from the landfill. Lastly,

Northwest Missouri State University was awarded

two grants to purchase a horizontal baler and

perforator to efficiently aid the recycling efforts

across campus. With the baler and perforator, the

University was able to recycle material at a quicker

pace and create more tons of recycled material.

Northwest Missouri State University was able to

divert 32 tons of waste from the landfill with their

projects. Although our resources are limited, we

are seeing recycling capacity grow each year to

make a cleaner and safer environment for

everyone.

FY’19 Grant Call

Each year, reimbursement grant funds are available

through a competitive application process. Eligible

projects must reduce the amount of waste

entering the local waste stream and/or facilitate

recycling. Some examples of eligible projects

include the purchase of wood chippers, aluminum

and cardboard balers, forklifts, trailers, recycling

bins, composting and other organic recycling

projects. District Grant funds have also been used

for outdoor classrooms, recycling education,

rubberized track or playground surfaces and

recycling business expansion.

One Grant Call was held for FY’19. Five grant

applications were received, but only four were

approved for funding. The table on page 12 shows

the status of the grant activity in FY’19. Only one of

the FY’19 grants have been extended into FY’20.

The Regional Council continues to serve as the

leading voice for regional transportation planning

in northwest Missouri, and remains a steadfast

supporter and facilitator of communication

between MoDOT and the cities and counties of

northwest Missouri. In support of regional

transportation planning, the Regional Council

develops and executes an annual transportation

work plan designed to allow local, grassroots input

to statewide transportation planning. To assist

with this planning, the Transportation Advisory

Committee, or TAC, serves as a standing committee

of the Northwest Missouri Regional Council’s

Board of Directors. The TAC is comprised of

elected officials, city and county representatives,

and local citizens from the region’s five counties,

and serves as the heart of local planning efforts.

The Committee meets on a quarterly basis, and

assists in the identification of regional needs for

transportation infrastructure, public education, and

safety in MoDOT’s Northwest District.

Additional activities are supported by the Regional

Council’s annual work plan, including maintenance

of a five-county Rural Regional Transportation Plan.

This plan includes sidewalk assessments for the

region’s towns, as well as a TAC prioritized list of

transportation needs throughout the five counties.

Staff further provides assistance with

transportation and traffic safety related grant

applications and planning projects, and conducts

traffic counts and speed studies upon request.

The Regional

Council shares a

speed trailer with

MoKan and Green

Hills RPC’s. The

speed trailer can

be deployed to

gather data and

assist with traffic calming efforts throughout the

region. Additionally, the Regional Council has an

Armadillo traffic counter that is a great tool for

gathering data as needed on different streets and

roads. The Armadillo will give us traffic counts

broken down by time frame. This information is

useful during project development and when

seeking funding for infrastructure related projects.

If your community would like to use either of these

devices, please call the Regional Council.

The Regional

Council

conducts a

Road Safety

Assessment

(RSA) each

year to help

improve the

safety at a

location within

our five

counties. A road safety assessment is a formal

examination of the safety performance of a given

roadway by an independent multidisciplinary team

compromised of MoDOT maintenance and

engineer staff, law enforcement and local

individuals who can help the group understand

what problems they’ve encountered at the site.

The FY’19 RSA was held at two sites near Maryville,

first the team assessed the intersection of Hwy. 71

at East South Avenue and the second site was Hwy

136 in front of the Maryville Treatment Center.

For the past 14 years, the

Regional Council has

served as a leading

member of the

Northwest Missouri

Coalition for Roadway

Safety (Blueprint), which

strives to decrease the

number of deaths and

injuries on our roadways. Regional Council staff

has helped plan and host multiple roadway safety

events at area schools and Northwest Missouri

State University.

The Regional Council’s mission is to promote regional planning for human resources, educational

opportunities and economic development in order to enhance the quality of life for the region’s inhabitants.

The organization strives to accomplish these objectives by:

•promoting regional, multi-purpose planning and cooperative arrangements and coordinating action

among its member governments;

•providing professional staff assistance to local governments and organizations in northwest Missouri;

•serving as an advocate for the northwest region before federal, state, and local governmental agencies

and other organizations that influence or affect public policy;

•promoting the economic development of Atchison, Gentry, Holt, Nodaway, and Worth counties; and

•providing a forum for the discussion and resolution of common problems and issues affecting the

northwest Missouri region.

The Northwest Missouri Regional Council of Governments is a voluntary organization representing five

counties and 40 municipalities. The governing board reflects its membership; composed of elected

officials or appointed representatives from participating local governments. These officials endorse and

choose members for any special purpose committees, subsidiary task forces or other regional agencies.

It is the responsibility of each member to report to the Council frequently on their constituents’ activities

and the responsibility of the staff to respond so as to best serve the interests of the local governments.

The executive director is directly responsible to the Regional Council’s governing board.

The Regional Council operates on funds paid by member governments. These local assessments provide

matching dollars for other funding opportunities which come from state and federal governments in the

form of special projects completed at regional and local levels.
