Old Business
City Hall Door: The new door has been installed and John Tennant will complete the trim.
Fire Station Roof Repairs: Waiting for delivery of materials from JV & Brothers Roofing. Danny Bush, co-owner of the adjacent building, is coordinating with the roofers and holding the check for materials until delivery.
Streetlight Repairs and Additions: Mayor Moore will follow up again with Evergy. He is still having trouble getting a response.
City Website and IT Support: Resident Paul “Woody” Owen presented a plan to upgrade the city website of missouricitymo.gov to missouricitymo.gov and to create a position to support our system. He thinks being a .gov will allow access to other available government information and sites and better serve the public. He suggested that creating a position such as Chief Information Officer would be helpful for set up and administrative purposes. Brandon Gray has provided IT support since the website was created but has less time to devote and asked to back off. After discussion, Councilperson Davis made a motion to create the new position of Chief Information Officer (CIO), appoint Mr. Owen to the post and authorize him to begin steps to apply for and transition to .gov. Councilperson Stewart seconded the motion and carried by a 4-0 vote. Mr. Owen will contact Brandon Gray to coordinate the project. The Clerk will provide a letter of authorization for new City CIO Owen.
New Business
Water Tower Maintenance: Mayor Moore advised the Council of the need to clean the city tower. Waterworks Chief Operating Officer Rex Brinker suggested we engage Ozark Applicators for the job. The Clerk will prepare a letter to them.
2024 Tax Levy: The City Clerk confirmed we are on track to set the 2024 Levy in September. System IDS and preliminary figures from June have been received. Final figures will be provided in September prior to the September 30 deadline to file with the Clay County Clerk.
Community Calendar: No dates were added to the community calendar.
The next monthly meeting is scheduled for Monday, August 12th, 2024 at 6:30 pm in the MCCA Building.
