Raymore Named Runner-up for Most Neighborly City
Raymore has been recognized as a runner-up for the Most Neighborly City in Missouri in the Large City category, part of Missouri’s Good Neighbor Week. Raymore and Republic were runners up in the 15,000-30,000 population category, with Sikeston taking first place.
Good Neighbor Week, held Sept. 28-Oct. 4, encouraged Missouri residents to engage in activities that build connections with their neighbors. More than 30,000 neighborly acts were reported statewide.
During the week, Mayor Turnbow made a Good Neighbor Week Proclamation at a September
City Council meeting and encouraged residents to participate. The City hosted Coffee with a Cop and the Trucktoberfest food truck event during the week. Residents reported neighborly acts, such as hosting a front porch jam session and a morning coffee gathering, filling Little Free Libraries with books, and helping neighbors with grocery shopping. These efforts impacted more than 260 people, and three residents were nominated for Missouri’s Most Engaged Neighbor Award.
One resident’s reported neighborly act ended with the note, “I hope this is the start of something more.”
Residents can continue the spirit of Good Neighbor Week by registering their acts at missourigoodneighborweek.com
Nominations for Missouri’s Most Engaged Neighbor for 2025 will open on the same website starting Jan. 1, 2025.
Protect Yourself from Cybercrime
In 2023, the FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) reported more than 880,000 cyber crime complaints, with losses exceeding $12.5 billion. Phishing scams were the most common type of cybercrime. Raymore Police are currently investigating several phishing and identity theft cases affecting local residents.
WHAT IS PHISHING?
Phishing is when scammers impersonate trusted people or companies to steal your personal information such as passwords, credit card numbers or social security numbers. They often
pressure you to act quickly and provide sensitive details.
HOW TO PROTECT YOURSELF
• Be cautious of urgent or toogood-to-be-true offers.
• Don’t click links or open attachments from unknown senders.
• Verify suspicious messages by contacting the person or business directly.
• Use strong security software and unique passwords.
• Never share banking information over the phone.
• Monitor your financial statements for unusual activity.
• Government agencies (like the IRS) will never ask for sensitive info by phone.
• Avoid clicking pop-up ads on your computer.
EXAMPLE SCAM
A common phishing scam involves emails claiming to be from Norton Antivirus, warning of an expired subscription or virus risk. If the email isn't from an official @norton.com address, it's a scam. Always verify through the official Norton website.
If you suspect you're a victim of cybercrime, please contact the Raymore Police Department at 816-331-0530.
Hands-Free Law Reduces Accidents, Saves Lives HANDS-FREE MISSOURI
Starting Jan. 1, 2025, Missouri
law enforcement will begin enforcing the Siddens Bening Hands-Free Law, aimed at reducing cell phone-related distracted driving accidents. Previously, law enforcement only issued warnings to violators.
The law, signed in 2023, prohibits drivers from holding or supporting a cell phone, texting or watching videos while driving. Voice-operated or handsfree functions are allowed, and exceptions are made for reporting crimes, medical emergencies or accidents.
Distracted driving claimed 3,308 lives across the country in 2023, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
The law is named in honor of two
Phone down. It’s the law.
Missourians who lost their lives in traffic accidents:
Randall Siddens, a Columbia resident, was struck and killed in May 2019 by a driver while he was picking up road cones after a triathlon. He spent months in the hospital before dying from his injuries, leaving behind a wife and three children.
Michael Bening, a Raymore resident, husband and father of two, was killed in May 2021 on I-49 by a distracted driver while attempting to retrieve debris from the roadway. The driver was convicted of a misdemeanor and fined $2,000, as no law existed at the time against using a cell phone while driving.
OPTIMISTIC NUMBERS
In September of 2024, Cambridge Mobile Telematics
(CMT), the world’s largest telematics service provider, announced that the law prevented more than 1,000 car accidents in its first year in Missouri, reducing distracted driving by 5.1 percent, helping avoid 660 injuries, five fatalities and $22 million in economic damages.
ENFORCEMENT
The law will be enforced as a secondary offense, meaning drivers have to be violating another law and be on their phone in order to be cited for distracted driving. Fines range from $100-$1,000. Drivers who cause a serious injury crash or fatal crash while violating the hands-free law may face criminal charges and prison time.
The Raymore Activity Center's expansion offers an additional basketball court, two volleyball courts, two pickleball courts and two multipurpose rooms.

Winter storms and blizzards can bring extreme cold, freezing rain, snow, ice, and high winds.
BE PREPARED FOR A WINTER STORM
Winter storms create a higher risk of car accidents, hypothermia, frostbite, carbon monoxide poisoning, and heart attacks from overexertion.
Can knock out heat, power, and communication services
IF YOU ARE UNDER A WINTER STORM WARNING, FIND SHELTER RIGHT AWAY
Stay off roads. Stay indoors and dress warmly. Prepare for power outages.
Use generators outside only.
Pay attention to emergency information and alerts.
Look for signs of hypothermia and frostbite.
Check on neighbors.
HOW TO STAY SAFE WHEN A WINTER STORM THREATENS
Prepare NOW
Survive DURING
Know your area’s risk for winter storms. Extreme winter weather can leave communities without utilities or other services for long periods of time.
Prepare your home to keep out the cold with insulation, caulking, and weather stripping. Learn how to keep pipes from freezing. Install and test smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors with battery backups.
Pay attention to weather reports and warnings of freezing weather and winter storms. Sign up for your community’s warning system. The Emergency Alert System (EAS) and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Weather Radio also provide emergency alerts.
Gather supplies in case you need to stay home for several days without power. Keep in mind each person’s specific needs, including medication. Do not forget the needs of pets. Have extra batteries for radios and flashlights.
Create an emergency supply kit for your car. Include jumper cables, sand, a flashlight, warm clothes, blankets, bottled water, and non-perishable snacks. Keep the gas tank full.
Learn to identify the signs of and basic treatments for frostbite and hypothermia. For more information, visit: www.cdc.gov/disasters/winter/ staysafe/index.html
Stay off roads if at all possible. If trapped in your car, stay inside.
Limit your time outside. If you need to go outside, wear layers of warm clothing. Watch for signs of frostbite and hypothermia.
Avoid carbon monoxide poisoning. Only use generators and grills outdoors and away from windows. Never heat your home with a gas stovetop or oven.
Reduce the risk of a heart attack. Avoid overexertion when shoveling snow.
Watch for signs of frostbite and hypothermia and begin treatment right away.
Check on neighbors. Older adults and young children are more at risk in extreme cold.
Frostbite causes loss of feeling and color around the face, fingers, and toes.
• Signs: Numbness, white or grayishyellow skin, and firm or waxy skin
• Actions: Go to a warm room. Soak in warm water. Use body heat to warm. Do not massage or use a heating pad.
Hypothermia is an unusually low body temperature. A temperature below 95 degrees is an emergency.
• Signs: Shivering, exhaustion, confusion, fumbling hands, memory loss, slurred speech, and drowsiness.
• Actions: Go to a warm room. Warm the center of the body first—chest, neck, head, and groin. Keep dry and wrapped up in warm blankets, including the head and neck.
Take an Active Role in Your Safety
Go to Ready.gov/winterweather. Download the FEMA app to get more information about preparing for a winter storm.
Keeping Roads Safe Requires Everyone's Cooperation
Spring's warmer weather and sunshine likely means more pedestrians will be out for walks through town, more bicyclists will be enjoying rides on trails and streets and more motorcycles will be out on the roads.
Pedestrians have the right of way in crosswalks. Drivers must slow down and allow pedestrians to cross at crosswalks and intersections. Failure to yield to pedestrians at crosswalks is dangerous and against the law.
Drivers should also maintain a safe distance from bicyclists, as close passes can cause accidents or make cyclists feel
unsafe. Drivers should give bicyclists at least three feet of space as they pass them on the road. It's important to remember that bicycles on the roadway are considered vehicles. Cyclists, therefore, have the same rights and responsibilities as motorists and are subject to the same rules and regulations.
Grass clippings on the road are another safety threat to bicyclists, motorcyclists and vehicle traffic. When the grass starts to grow this spring and it's time to mow the lawn, remember to never blow or rake grass clippings into the street or down the storm drain. Besides
being against City code, grass clippings on the road reduce tire traction, making the street highly slippery and hazardous.
Additionally, when it rains, clippings and other yard waste left in the streets will wash into storm drains and can clog the drains or enter local water bodies, picking up pollutants along the way. As they break down, they deplete oxygen levels in the water that are necessary for supporting aquatic life.
Contact Raymore's Code Enforcement Division to report a code violation at 816-892-3027.

BUDGET IN BRIEF: FY 2025 ADOPTED BUDGET
In this Budget in Brief, we provide a small snapshot of what is included in the Council-approved budget for FY 2025. The City’s fiscal year runs from Nov. 1 to Oct. 31. To learn more about the budget and see a complete version, visit www.raymore.com/budget
The adoption of the annual operating budget is the City Council’s most important task each year, as it impacts the lives of every citizen of Raymore and all City employees, and helps shape our future strategic planning.
The budget is a transparent spending plan that sets the framework for what services the City will provide in the upcoming year to meet the needs and desires of our residents. The highest priority is always given to core and

essential services, while using the funds wisely to have the greatest service impact for our residents.
Revenues come from many sources, including sales taxes, property taxes, permits, fees and other sources. Just as taxes are not the only source of revenue for the City, the City is not the only recipient of your tax dollars.
The budget is separated into a number of funds. Some funds can only pay for specific uses. For example, funds from the Stormwater Sales Tax Fund can only be spent on stormwater control projects.
The City’s budget for total expenditures for FY 2025 is $42,091,941.
BUDGET IN BRIEF: FY 2025 ADOPTED BUDGET
$25,557,646
Operating Funds
The City’s operating budget is made up of the funds in the General Fund, the Parks Fund and the Enterprise Fund, and pays for the City’s day-to-day operations.
GENERAL FUND
The General Fund is the primary fund for the City. It is used to record all revenues and expenditures that are not associated with special purpose funds, such as Parks, Transportation and Capital Improvement funds.
This fund pays for core administrative and operational expenses, such as personnel, all Police Department expenses, pothole patching, street lights, utilities for City facilities, snow removal, salt and brine, household hazardous waste collection events and more.
PARKS FUND
The Parks Fund is used for Parks & Recreation administration, maintenance of parkland and facilities, recreation programs and special events.
ENTERPRISE FUND
Water, sewer and solid waste services are paid for and provided through the Enterprise Fund. These services are operated on a cost of service basis.
Expansion Items & City Council Amendments
Expansion items are additional expenditures outside of the regular department budget proposed by staff and Council members for specific projects or initiatives. The Council must approve all items before they are included in the adopted budget.
The City Council may amend the City Manager’s proposed budget to include items to be funded with available fund balance, which are funds available at the end of the fiscal year after restricted funds are set aside. Projects or items funded by Council request from this available balance are almost always a one-time expenses, as they are coming from available fund balance rather than recurring funds.
The City Council unanimously adopted the City Manager’s Proposed FY 2025 budget, with the addition of five admendments at the City Council meeting on Oct. 28, 2024.
