Old Business
City Hall Door: The new door is awaiting installation. Rainy weather has delayed work.
Fire Station Roof Repairs: The Fishing River Fire Protection District advised Mayor Moore that they will only pay for the lowest bid. The issue was tabled for further research and discussion to ensure all needed repair requests are covered by the bid from JB & Brothers Roofing.
April Clean Up weekend issues: Problems with junk strewn on the ground due to overflowing dumpsters over the April Clean Up weekend were discussed. Resident Bob Jeffries has monitored the situation in past years but was not available this year. He asked that the Council set a date for next year now so he can plan to be home. The Council agreed to the weekends of October 19 & 20th, 2024 and April 19 & 20, 2025 and the Clerk will contact AAA Disposal to schedule those dates.
Tree Trimming along city streets: Bob Jeffries and Danny Bush are overseeing volunteer efforts to trim overhanging trees along city street. Mr. Jeffries asked the Council to consider feeding volunteers on the next work day. He also requested the city rent a lift to reach higher trees. After discussion, the Council agreed to authorize funding for both requests. Mr. Jeffries was authorized to rent a lift to continue the project. He will submit a bill to the city for reimbursement for gas and other tool expenses. The Council also agreed to provide lumber to rebuild shelving in the City Garage.
Streetlight Repairs and Additions: Mayor Moore will follow up again with Evergy. He is having trouble getting a response.
New Business
Yearly fees for city website: IT Coordinator Brandon Gray sent a message to the Council a reminder that yearly fees associated with the city website missouricitymo.gov are due in August.
