4 Introduction
The Citizens’ Advisory Recovery Team presented its plan, “Listening to Joplin” to the City Council on November 7, 2011. After a vote to accept the report, Mayor Mike Woolston recommended the formation of a task force composed of representatives from the primary recovery stakeholders ‐ the City Council, Joplin School Board, Joplin Chamber of Commerce, and the CART. The members are listed at the bottom of this page. Since their appointment, the Implementation Task Force (ITF) has been meeting bi‐weekly to assign action steps for the CART projects. Each project has at least one champion. In addition, the ITF prepared a Request for Proposal for a Master Developer to accelerate recovery efforts. That request (see Appendix A) was submitted to the City Council and approved at their December 19th meeting. Requests are due back on January 31, 2012. Requests will be reviewed by the CART ITF as well as the Joplin Redevelopment Corporation. The final recommendation will go to the City Council for its approval.
The ITF plan that follows is a living document. All of us realize that there may be changes and additions over time. The recommended steps listed are actionable items that will continue to move us toward the goal of recovery and past that to a community that is stronger, safer, greener, more attractive, and designed to reflect the dreams and desires of our citizens.
The united endorsement of this implementation plan will signal to everyone involved that every governing body is in agreement with what it will take to move forward. Our recovery has already begun. These projects and ideas will give us a structure to continue and intensify our efforts. Every one of us is ready to work. We hope that you are as well.
In the spirit of recovery,

Executive Summary
Background Joplin is located in southwest Missouri in the "four states" region encompassing Oklahoma, Kansas, Missouri and Arkansas. At the edge of the Ozark Mountain plateau region, Joplin has a current population of 50, 150 (2010 census). Joplin is the hub of the two‐county (Jasper & Newton) Metropolitan Statistical Area. The MSA population is 173,000, making it Missouri’s fourth largest MSA. The daytime population swells to 220,000, while the population within a 40‐mile radius of Joplin is 400,000. Joplin combines the beauty and hospitality of smaller town living with the convenience and commerce of larger city vitality.
Joplin was devastated by an EF5 tornado which touched down at 5:41pm on May 22, 2011. The massive tornado cut a path of destruction 3/4 to a mile wide and nearly 10 miles long through the city limits and the neighboring village of Duquesne. The overall storm path was estimated by the National Weather Service at nearly 14 miles in length.
Nearly 8000 structures were estimated to be impacted by the tornado. Many homes, along with churches, schools, businesses and one hospital, were completely destroyed in the wake of the tornado.
In responding to the disaster, the City created the Citizen Advisory Recovery Team (CART) to provide the Joplin Area citizen's with a forum where ideas could be brought to the table, consensus formed and ideas and/or projects can be taken to City Council or other appropriate organizations for consideration.
The members of CART are a diversified group of local Citizens. They have been selected to help guide the way for the Joplin Area citizens on this journey of recovery. Their job is to assist in obtaining citizen input, analyze the input and formulate ideas and/or projects which can be presented to the appropriate organization(s).
On November 7, 2011, following an involved public process, the CART presented its recommendation to the Joplin City Council for their consideration and adoption. The City adopted the CART’s report and then created the Committee with the responsibility of working on behalf of the community to be the lead public/private entity in the redevelopment. The
15 Committee is formed from the leadership of CART and representatives of the City of Joplin, Duquesne, Joplin Schools and Joplin Area Chamber of Commerce.
In furtherance of achieving the adopted vision, the City Council appointed the Joplin Redevelopment Corporation to select and retain a master developer to participate in a public private partnership and coordinate the redevelopment of the Project.

22 MINUTES CART Implementation Task Force, City of Joplin December 1, 2011
The meeting of the CART Implementation Task Force was held on Thursday, December 1, 2011 at Joplin City Hall in the 5th floor conference room. Chair Jane Cage called the meeting to order at 5:35 p.m. Members in attendance were Brad Beecher, Mike Wiggins, Jim Kimbrough, Jane Cage, Anne Sharp, Clifford Wert, CJ Huff, David Weaver, Rob O’Brian, and Mark Rohr. Members who were not in attendance were Doug Doll, Kim Cox, Mike Seibert, Randy Moore, and Trisha Raney. Also attending the meeting were Troy Bolander and Steve Castaner.
First point of business was review of the minutes from the meeting held on November 17, 2011. Motion by Mr. Beecher and seconded by Ms. Sharp to accept the minutes from the November 17th meeting. Motion carried by unanimous voice vote.
Chairperson Cage distributed documents to those in attendance entitled” Listening to Joplin” and then a tabulation of priorities as developed by responses given to her on internet poll of committee’s members.
At this time, Chairperson Cage asked if there was any new information to share with the Task Force members.
Mr. Bolander provided an update on the meeting held on Wednesday, November 30th of the Joplin City Council with the purpose of prioritizing LIHTC (Low‐Income Housing Tax Credit) projects. The City Council ranked their choices, which were forwarded to the State.
Mr. Beecher gave an update on Empire’s service restoration efforts and returning customers.
Dr. Huff updated the Task Force on the possibility of getting more FEMA funding for high school and technical school based on need to meet educational standards.
Mr. Rohr stated he had a conference call on Monday, December 5th to discuss CDBG funding and how we can access that money for the implementation of the CART ideas.
(Mayor Mike Woolston arrived at the meeting at 6:05 p.m.)
Rob O’Brian went over documents that he had prepared in draft form entitled “Request for Statement of Interest” to solicit responses by master developers interested in helping Joplin to rebuild. The points contained within the document included qualifications, partners, experience, expectations of Joplin, etc. There was discussion about the entity that would lead the process to work with developers. The issue was raised regarding how specific the request should be. Brad Beecher said for the interest of time that maybe it should be general, which was the group’s consensus.
The Task Force members then talked about timetables for the presentation of recommendations. The consensus was that the “Request for Interest” document would be presented to the Joplin City Council at their second meeting in December (December 19th) and that the two City Council members of this task force would present the recommendation to get this request process started. A discussion was then held and a consensus arrived at that the Task Force should have all 4 groups (Chamber, CART, Joplin Schools and Joplin City Council) at a joint meeting in January to hear recommendations and vote whether to accept these recommendations or not. Mr. Rohr was asked to explore the legalities and logistics of such a meeting.
The CART Implementation Task Force next meeting will be on December 8th at Joplin City Hall. The meeting adjourned at 7:15 p.m. Approved Jane Cage, Chairperson Mark Rohr, Secretary CART Implementation Task Force
23 MINUTES ‐ CART Implementation Task Force, City of Joplin ‐ December 8, 2011
The meeting of the CART Implementation Task Force was held on Thursday, December 8, 2011 at Joplin City Hall in the 5th floor conference room. Chair Jane Cage called the meeting to order at 12:07 p.m. Members in attendance were Mike Wiggins, Kim Cox CJ Huff, Jane Cage, Trisha Rainey, Randy Moore, Clifford Wert, Jim Kimbrough, Anne Sharp, Rob O’Brian and Mark Rohr. Also in attendance was Mike Woolston. Members who were not in attendance David Weaver, Doug Doll, Mike Seibert.
The first action of business was to review the minutes from the meeting held on December 1, 2011. Motion by Ms. Sharp and seconded by Mr. Kimbrough to accept the minutes from the December 1, 2011 meeting. Motion carried by unanimous voice vote.
Discussion ensued relative to a joint meeting in January between the board members of the Chamber, CART, Joplin Schools and the Joplin City Council. It is anticipated that there would be 60‐70 board members and members of the public in attendance. It was mentioned that all boards would need to provide at least one week’s notice of the meeting. Due to the anticipated number of attendees it was felt that Missouri Southern State University would be a better location for this meeting. Chairperson Cage will contact MSSU about dates that are available and report back to the Task Force.
Rob O’Brian discussed the Statement of Interest (SOI) with the members. Mr. O’Brian also discussed the Frank Alexander property acquisition memo dated September 20, 2011 (memo attached). Further, Mr. O’Brian felt that based on the Alexander’s memo it made sense to run the SOI through the Chapter 353 Joplin Redevelopment Corporation, Inc.., chaired by Mr. Alden Buerge. All members in attendance felt this was a good idea. Mr. O’Brian distributed a revised SOI to the members. Mr. Rohr mentioned including all of CART projects from their report in SOI and the Task Force members agreed. Following a discussion the Task Force members felt it was better to call it an RFP rather than a SOI.
The Task Force discussed the upcoming presentation to the Joplin City Council on December 19th . Mr. O’Brian will develop information on Chapter 353 Joplin Redevelopment Corporation, Inc. and send to Chairperson Cage who will then draft a cover letter for the RFP. Ms. Rainey will then see that this information is sent to the Joplin City Council members prior to the agenda packet going out to them. This will allow the City Council advance time to review the information. It was also decided by the Task Force to include the City of Duquesne in the RFP.
Chairperson Cage will send a notice via email to the entire membership of the CART committee to attend a breakfast meeting on Friday, December 16th at Granny Shaffer’s Restaurant. The next meeting of the CART Implementation Task Force will be held on December 22, 2011 at noon at City Hall on 5th floor in the study room.
Meeting adjourned at 1:10 p.m.

Mr. O’Brian noted the RFP was unanimously approved by Joplin City Council on December 19, 2011. He said all interested parties would have 30 days to respond and it would likely take another 30 days to have a contract in place. Joint interviews could be conducted by this group and Joplin Redevelopment Corporation to talk to applicants and to forward a recommendation on to the Joplin City Council.
It was mentioned that on January 19, 2012 the BCLC (a division of the US Chamber of Commerce) will be in Joplin for a discussion on finances regarding Joplin’s rebuild. This group will talk about corporate foundations interested in helping Joplin. There was discussion about merging this event with a Resource Forum scheduled to be held on January 18th and 19th to be more efficient. At this point (12:35 p.m.) a conference call was conducted for 10 minutes with Steve Castaner from FEMA, Rebecca Estes from SEMA, Brad Streeter from HUD and Elizabeth Roberts regarding their event, which is intended to explain best practices for community rebuilding in other cities and accessing other resources to create synergy in rebuild. All involved in call thought combining two events made good sense.
Next the meeting progressed to discuss action steps of CART Plan. The discussion centered on the most controversial projects and whether to be specific or general in terms of recommendations to their respective boards. Consensus from the group was to be specific wherever possible. With that in mind Chair Cage discussed two of four categories with the group. A decision was made that the CART Implementation Task Force would schedule their next meeting for January 5, 2012 at noon.

The 2007 DHSS Health and Preventive Practice survey (source: National Conference of State Legislatures, http://www.ncsl. results indicate that 16.13% of Jasper County residents org/default.aspx?tabid=14530) reported having no health care coverage along with 17.01% of Newton County residents. Along with this, 8.83% of Jasper residents and 6.95% of Newton residents indicated they did not get medical care when needed for reasons such as cost, lack of insurance, and lack of transportation. Local Public Health Departments help to fill the health care gaps for many county residents by providing childhood immunizations free of charge to qualifying residents. Children with private insurance may seek care from their primary providers. The Jasper County Health Department also offers medical clinics that are available to clients with very limited income who are seeking assistance with prescriptions and basic medical care. Those receiving Medicare, Medicaid (Missouri Health Net), or private health insurance are not eligible for the clinic. The Joplin Health Department has a prescription assistance program to assist residents that attend the Joplin Community Clinic.

Women, Infants and Children (WIC) is a special program which provides services such as health screenings, risk assessments, nutrition education and counseling, breastfeeding promotion and referrals to health care for pregnant women, new mothers, infants and children up to their 5th birthday based on nutritional risk and income eligibility. High WIC participation rates in Jasper and Newton Counties indicate a prevalence of low-income families in need of assistance. This is also indicated by the county rates for infants on Medicaid, which are also higher than state rates.

Birth defects are defined as abnormalities of abstracts, pediatric inpatient and outpatient abstracts, structure, function, or body metabolism that are present and other state systems for children with special health care needs. A passive registry means that case finding at birth. These abnormalities lead to mental or physical disabilities or are fatal. There are more than 4,000 is limited to reports provided to the MO DHSS and there is no verification of reported defects. It is probable that different known birth defects, ranging from minor to serious, and although many can be treated or cured, some cases are not reported, and that other cases are they're the leading cause of death in the first year of life. diagnosed after the first year of the infant’s life although diagnostic tests available during the first year of life (source: http://kidshealth.org/parent/system/ill/birth_defects.html) has increased in the community and may increase the ability to detect defects that would not have been found until years later.. It can also be assumed that the registry contains false-positive entries, which would include tentative diagnosis that were not later removed. Birth defects also result in intrauterine death, and those instances are not tracked on the Birth Defects registry. As a result, the Birth Defects registry has several limitations regarding data collection, making it difficult to truly know the extent of the problem in Missouri.

Solid waste generated in the two-county area is disposed of in landfills in Barton County or Kansas. All residents of Jasper and Newton Counties have access to sol id waste disposal services.
Several communities in the two-county area operate recycling pro grams including Carthage, Carter ville, Joplin and Webb City in Jasper County; and Granby, Seneca and Neosho in Newton County. Many other individual businesses and office environments participate in individualized recycling programs.
The Region M Solid Waste Manage ment District helps to coordinate waste disposal and recycling efforts in the area.

It is anticipated that in the near future electronic waste will be banned from disposal in local landfills thus providing a new challenge for disposal. While still legal for residents to dispose of unused prescription or over- the-counter drugs in landfills or by flushing into sewer systems, these disposal methods are becoming less accepted nationwide as more information becomes available about levels of these drugs ending up in streams, rivers and groundwater sources.
17 Environment air Quality While air quality in the two-county area is generally still at this time but also indicated that there is evidence considered to be good, several issues related to air quality that ozone levels could be a problem in the future. In continue to evolve and warrant increased attention. response to this, 2 new ozone monitors have been placed in Jasper County by MDNR to more closely Ozone: monitor ozone levels and provide better data for future The quality of outdoor air is monitored in Missouri by the decisions. More recently, in early 2010 EPA has proposed Department of Natural Resources (DNR) for compliance strengthening even further the ozone standards for the with the National Ambient Air Quality Standards that nation. What this may mean for local ozone standard set limits for seven air pollutants that have docu mented attainment remains to be seen. effects on public health. Ozone is one of these seven pollutants.

Representation from the some counties in the region were found to be in violation Joplin area has been solicited from this group and several or “non-attainment” for this new standard. The Missouri entities have become active in this organization.

Southwest Missouri, including in compliance or in attainment with the ozone standard Jasper and Newton counties, has one of the highest concentrations of CAFO’s in the entire state, mainly poultry operations. Other Issues: Additional information on reportable chemical releases to the environ ment is gathered by the Environmental Protection Agency and MDNR and is compiled in the Toxic Release Inventory (TRI). This report indicates the total amount of atmospheric releases in the area, but is not necessarily an indication of adverse effects on human health or the environment. The TRI data is available through the EPA at http://www.epa.gov/ tri/ or DNR at http://www.dnr.mo.gov/ env/tri/index.htm. Additional information can be found on the EPA’s Envirofacts website: http://www.epa.gov/enviro/ index.html. According to Envirofacts, Jasper County currently has 25 registered facilities that produce and release air pollutants and Newton County has 21 registered facilities. 18 Environment Water Quality Increasing populations in Jasper and Newton counties continue to increase the demand for drinking water and other domestic and industrial water needs. Historical environmental problems and the increasing population continue to contribute to environmental concerns over contaminated ground water and surface water. Drinking Water A study conducted by Missouri American Water Company revealed that drinking water supplies could be depleted in some areas of the two county region as soon as 2015. Current studies conducted by the U.S. Geological Survey indicate that areas of the Ozark Aquifer continue to decline and deep wells are not likely to be a long term solution for drinking water supplies. The Tri-State Water Resource Coalition was formed and began feasibility studies to locate potential future sources of drinking water. Current potential options being considered include water allocations from area lakes such as Grand Lake O’ The Cherokees, Stockton, Table Rock, Beaver and others, construction of small water supply reservoirs in the region, and implementation of water conservation practices. Ground Water Contamination Jasper and Newton Counties are part of the Tri-State Mining District, historically known for lead mining. Although lead mining in the area ceased many years ago, the environmental impacts of lead, cadmium, and zinc (heavy metals) persist today. Much progress has been made by local health departments, the Missouri Department of Natural Resources, and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in reducing hazards to the public and in environmental clean-up. Most residential properties in both counties have been remediated to reduce heavy metals in soil to a safe level based on current EPA standards. The EPA is in the process of cleaning up the old mining areas in Jasper County and plans to initiate clean-up activities in Newton County in 2010. Many rural water wells are contaminated from the mining activity. As a result, EPA and Missouri American Water Company have provided public water supplies to most of these areas. The remaining areas are slated to have new deep water wells provided by the EPA and should be completed in the near future. Newton County also has two EPA superfund sites from Trichloroethylene (TCE) contaminated groundwater. The Newton County Wells site near Joplin has been remediated and all affected residents are now on public water supplies. The Pools Prairie Site near Neosho is still undergoing remediation, but all affected residents are on public water supplies.

Watersheds and Surface Water Contamination Many of the creeks and streams in Jasper and Newton County are currently listed (2008 list) or proposed for the 2010 EPA 303(d) list for impaired waters. A complete listing may be found on the Missouri Department of Natural Resources (MDNR) web site at http://www.dnr.mo.gov/env/wpp/waterquality/303d.htm. The reasons for impairment are many, including but not limited to nutrients, sedimentation, bacteriological contamination (E coli), low dissolved oxygen, and heavy metals. The sources of contamination include old mining waste, agriculture, livestock, septic systems, wildlife, wastewater treatment plants, and public use of local waterways. Many watershed groups have been formed to help address these issues. The Elk River Watershed Improvement Association (ERWIA) and Shoal Creek Watershed Improvement Group (SCWIG) on upper Shoal Creek were formed several years ago. More recently the Shoal Creek Watershed Partnership (SCWP) on lower Shoal Creek and the Spring River Watershed Partnership were formed to continue efforts to improve water quality on area watersheds.

21 Emergency PrePareDness Planning for and responding to emergencies affecting community health continues to be an important function of local officials in the medical community. Most recently, planning efforts for dealing with pandemic flu events were tested during the 2009-2010 H1N1 Pandemic Flu outbreak. Planning and response activities for community-wide public health emergencies continue to be centered in the Medical Subcommittee of the Joplin/Jasper County Local Emergency Planning Committee. The subcommittee includes representatives from local and state government, Emergency Management, health departments, hospitals, EMS, American Red Cross, the local Federally Qualifi ed Health Center (FQHC), and others. Some of the emergency plans and improvement projects that have received attention most recently include: Animal Emergency Response Plan-Animal Sheltering Plan Mass Care Sheltering Plan (including a plan for dealing with persons with Special Needs) Public Health Training Plan Complete update of the Local Public Health Emergency Plan (LPHEP) (including a complete update to the Strategic National Stockpile [SNS plan]) Update of Annex-M (the Health & Medical Annex) to the County Emergency Plan (including a Mass Fatality-Emergency Mortuary Standard Operating Guide [SOG]) Data sourCes U.S. Census Bureau U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics Missouri Department of Economic Development Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services Missouri State Highway Patrol Missouri Department of Mental Health Missouri Department of Social Services Kids Count Missouri Department of Natural Resources American Heart Association Centers for Disease Control American Stroke Association American Cancer Society Access Family Care (FQHC) Community Clinic of Joplin March of Dimes Jasper County Health Department Newton County Health Department City of Joplin Health Department 22 Report Designed and Prepared by:
