Tentative agenda for the May 13th board meeting

This morning, I went over to the port to meet the students. While waiting, I got some great shots of several of the trucks that were being loaded with an organic soy meal. Our beautiful Sennebogen 855 can load one of these trucks in roughly 4 minutes. What took 2 days to unload before with the Komatsu, takes about 1/2 a day with the Sennebogen. These trucks, along with those I missed, were loaded in about 90 minutes.

Today, a local school brought some juniors and seniors over to the port. They are in a newly formed Environmental Science class where they learn about cool things, like rivers, erosion, water quality, ecosystem structures, pollution, and natural cycles to name a few. They had a brief safety class, suited up in life jackets, and then "walked the plank" to go board a tug which took them for a ride down the river.

The Jefferson County Port Authority sends our condolences to the family of Representative Ken Waller. Ken was a huge supporter of the port, and as County Executive, he was very instrumental in putting the pieces in place for us to be what we are today. He continued that role in the House of Representatives. Godspeed, Kenny.

Jefferson County, MO - Government would like to remember dedicated public servant Ken Waller.

Ken began his career in government when he ran for and was elected Jefferson County Treasurer from 2005-2008. From 2011-2018, Ken served as the first elected Charter County Executive. He then went on to serve as the County Elections Clerk from 2019-2022. Ken was elected in 2022 as Missouri State Representative for the 114th District and was serving that term at the time of his passing. He was a current candidate for Missouri State Senate.

Additionally, Ken was a member of several boards and organizations, including the Missouri Association of Counties, the Missouri Clerks Association, the Missouri Treasurers Association, the Jefferson-Franklin Community Action Corp, the East-West Gateway Council of Governments, the COMTREA Mental Health Fund Board, the EDC of Jefferson County, and the YMCA of Jefferson County. He has been awarded the 110 Percent Award by KTJJ and was nominated as the Boy Scouts of America’s Man of the Year.

Mr. Ken Waller is going to be greatly missed by the community and all who knew him.
