[5:22] address and then um you have you'll have

[5:26] three minutes to speak. The council will

[5:28] not interface with you at this time.

[5:32] Seeing no one coming forward,

[5:35] we have a public hearing for the purpose

[5:37] of certifying the rate of levy for

[5:38] property taxes for the 2026 tax year

[5:41] within the city of Fulton at 0.5431

[5:46] for each $100 of the assessed valuation

[5:49] of the property.

[5:54] The format of the meeting hearing will

[5:56] be as follow. I will issue three calls

[5:57] for anyone wishing to speak in

[5:59] opposition, then three calls for anyone

[6:01] who wish to speak in favor. We ask that

[6:03] you come to the podium, state your name

[6:05] and address. The hearing is now declared

[6:08] open.

[6:10] First call, is there anyone present who

[6:12] wish to speak in opposition of this

[6:14] matter?

[6:18] Second call, is there anyone present who

[6:20] wish to speak in opposition of this

[6:24] Third and final call. Is there anyone

[6:28] opposition of this matter?

[6:31] Seeing none, there will be three calls

[6:34] issued for anyone wishing to speak in

[6:58] Seeing none, the public hearing is now

[7:00] closed and we're and we'll return to our

[7:02] regular agenda.

[7:05] Okay. Our next item of business is the

[7:08] approval of the consent agenda.

[7:11] It consists of the city council meeting

[7:12] minutes for July 28, 2026 and August 11,

[7:16] 2026.

[7:18] a special event request. Missouri

[7:20] Baptist disaster relief training

[7:22] September 11 and 12. Uh two board and

[7:25] commission appointments, one for the

[7:27] board of adjustment, appointment of

[7:29] alternate Bill Erns for a partial term

[7:31] to expire in 2027

[7:34] and planning and zoning appointment of

[7:36] Dan Healey for a part partial term to

[7:38] expire in 2029.

[7:40] I would request to remove the um

[7:44] appointment of Dan Healey to from the

[7:47] consent agenda.

[7:52] Anyone else have any other items on the

[7:54] consent agenda you'd like to discuss?

[7:59] If not, I'd entertain that motion. I'd

[8:02] move the consent agenda. I guess I

[8:05] should say as amended.

[8:08] >> Yeah.

[8:08] >> Okay.

[8:10] for remaining items.

[8:13] >> Do I have a second?

[8:16] All right, we have a

[8:19] motion to second to approve the

[8:20] remaining items on the consent agenda.

[8:22] Any discussion?

[8:25] Hearing none. All those in favor, please

[8:27] say yes.

[8:28] >> Yes.

[8:29] >> All those opposed, please say no.

[8:33] Okay. So, I requested for the consent

[8:35] agenda items for discussion. Uh Mr.

[8:38] Healey for planning and zoning. I've

[8:40] known known him for years and years. Great person, but he doesn't live

[8:44] in the city limits to my knowledge. So,

[8:47] how does that work?

[8:49] >> Yeah, Kathy, I know you had some

[8:50] discussions with our city attorney.

[8:52] Would you like to give a little recap on

[8:54] that, please?

[8:54] >> Sure. Well, um Mr. Healey uh was I sent

[8:58] out the board of adjustment um mailing

[9:01] to our board of adjustment members and

[9:03] Mr. was reviewing the ordin or the code

[9:05] and he said he was told that if you had

[9:08] property inside the city of Lament you

[9:09] could be on the board of adjustment

[9:11] apparently at some point that was a

[9:12] mistake and you can only you have to be

[9:15] a citizen a resident of the city to be

[9:18] on that board.

[9:19] >> Okay.

[9:19] >> And uh so after Tom reviewed it um he

[9:23] said that we couldn't put on the plan

[9:25] because that is just a citizen and not a

[9:27] resident. That's the requirements.

[9:32] » Yeah. I don't understand that either.

[9:34] >> I'm so sorry. So

[9:36] >> on the board of adjustment, Mr. He was a member and um after reviewing the code

[9:42] for that, he stepped out or he he told

[9:44] me that he is actually a land owner here

[9:46] in town and um so we reviewed it with

[9:49] our legal and Tom said no the state

[9:51] statute and so does our city code say

[9:53] you have to be a resident of the city to

[9:55] be on the board of adjustment but

[9:57] planning and zoning it's not a

[9:58] requirement to be a of a city only a

[10:00] citizen

[10:02] >> a citizen

[10:03] >> it's made up of four citizens or however

[10:05] many number citizen and there's no fewer

[10:08] than four.

[10:09] >> But a citizen of what?

[10:11] >> So a citizen of the city? [laughter]

[10:15] >> That's a it's a very subjective

[10:17] question. Um based on what our city

[10:20] attorney has indicated because he is a

[10:22] property owner of property inside the

[10:24] city limits, he is eligible statutoily

[10:26] to be on the planning and zoning

[10:28] commission and the mayor put him forward

[10:30] as an appointment for this evening.

[10:31] >> Yes.

[10:34] >> Sorry. Would that respect? you know.

[10:37] Well, it's it's a bit odd.

[10:38] >> It is

[10:39] >> because I remember I used to uh serve

[10:42] with with Mr. Dy on parks and wreck at

[10:45] one time when he moved out of town. He

[10:48] resigned. So, that's why it was kind of

[10:50] surprising. So, what's your pleasure?

[10:53] >> Before Before you do that, uh Mr. Healey

[10:56] works for a contractor here in in Fulton

[11:00] and he's on a planning and zoning. Would

[11:02] that affect him? Would he have to accuse

[11:04] himself uh if some vote that his uh his

[11:10] contractor is applying for? Would he

[11:11] have to step away from that or is that

[11:13] correct?

[11:13] >> Yes. So, I would clarify that Mr. Healey

[11:16] um does not work for Andrew Huey. To my

[11:19] knowledge, he works for Andrew Huey's

[11:21] father, Andy Huey. Um, and yes, if

[11:25] either his employer or he had any sort

[11:28] of conflict of interest, he would have

[11:29] to recuse himself from whatever item was up for question

[11:32] >> and he's aware of that.

[11:33] >> Yes.

[11:34] >> Okay. Thank you. That's all.

[11:35] >> To that note, there are other builders

[11:37] in town that are on planning zone. It

[11:39] would have to be the same thing,

[11:40] >> right?

[11:41] >> Okay. All right.

[11:45] Do I have a motion one way or the other?

[11:52] Yeah, I'll make a motion that we go

[11:54] ahead and uh appoint Dan Haley for a

[11:56] partial term expired in 2029.

[12:00] >> Motion to second. Any further

[12:02] discussion?

[12:04] >> All those in favor, please say yes.

[12:06] >> Yes.

[12:07] >> Those opposed.

[12:09] >> All right. Eyes have it. Thank you.

[12:12] Appreciate the clarification.

[12:14] Okay. We next have the presentation

[12:16] acceptance of the July uh directive

[12:19] administration report.

[12:21] >> Thank you, Deputy Mayor. I appreciate

[12:22] that. Um I do want to just highlight one

[12:25] event that we hosted mid July and that

[12:27] was the chamber business breakfast with

[12:29] the Kingdom Pilots Association um and

[12:31] Myers Aviation at Elton Hensley Airport

[12:34] was very well attended and I appreciate

[12:36] the council members and the staff and

[12:38] members of the community and business

[12:39] community who were able to come out and

[12:41] uh take a look at our airport and see

[12:43] how wonderful it is and why it's such a

[12:45] great asset here in the in the

[12:46] community. Um, we also have been

[12:48] reviewing some operational things at

[12:50] Tanglewood Golf Course and exploring opportunities to improve some

[12:54] efficiencies. So, um, no decisions have

[12:57] been made at this point as far as the

[12:58] operations at the golf course, but we

[13:00] continue to to review future

[13:02] possibilities there. And then I just

[13:04] want to highlight again, we want to

[13:05] thank, uh, former police chief Bill

[13:07] Ladwick for his many, many years of

[13:09] service. I think it was almost 26 years

[13:11] of service. um and uh recently had his

[13:14] retirement in the appointment of now

[13:16] Chief Dal Hedges. So July was a busy

[13:19] month for us. As always, staff is here

[13:22] and if you guys have any specific

[13:23] questions, we are happy to answer those

[13:25] for you.

[13:29] » Anyone?

[13:32] If not,

[13:35] entertain that motion.

[13:43] We have a motion and second to accept

[13:45] the um July directive of administration

[13:49] report. Any further discussion?

[13:53] All those in favor please say yes.

[13:55] >> Yes.

[13:56] >> Those opposed say no. Eyes have it.

[14:00] Yeses have it. All right. Um so we next

[14:04] have presentation of acceptance of the

[14:05] July financial statement. I believe our

[14:09] chief financial officer is here.

[14:13] >> Hello.

[14:13] >> Hi,

[14:15] Andy Johnson, CFO. City of Fulton

[14:17] recorded 6 months of sales tax in 2026.

[14:20] Collections are up 1.7% from fiscal year

[14:23] 2025. Use tax is down 1.2% from fiscal

[14:27] year 2025. July, we had two payroll

[14:30] cycles and overall year-to- date

[14:32] financial performance remains consistent

[14:34] with budget expectations.

[14:36] Does anybody have any questions?

[14:40] >> Have any idea what's going on with used

[14:42] tax? Just

[14:43] >> I think it's all it's not just us. I

[14:44] mean, it's all over the board.

[14:46] >> Is it?

[14:46] >> Yeah.

[14:47] >> Maybe people are buying in town instead

[14:49] of online. It's more

[14:51] >> Okay.

[14:52] >> There's Yeah, I've been reading on it

[14:53] trying to find out what's going on and

[14:55] it's just kind of

[14:57] >> not that much. I mean, we're talking

[14:58] $6,000.

[15:01] » Anyone else have any questions?

[15:08] I have a motion.

[15:13] » I make a motion that we accept the

[15:15] financial report.

[15:17] >> Motion.

[15:17] >> I'll second it.

[15:18] >> Second. Thank you. Any further

[15:21] discussion of the motion?

[15:23] All those in favor? Please say yes.

[15:25] >> Yes.

[15:26] >> All post say no.

[15:28] >> The yeses have it. We have no unfinished

[15:31] business, no new business.

[15:35] All right, which brings us to council

[15:37] concerns.

[15:39] Council members may discuss matters or

[15:40] concerns not on this agenda. Council

[15:43] leazison, city boards, and commission

[15:44] may also provide a brief review of the

[15:47] most recent meeting. Um, I'm on the list

[15:50] first. So, the human rights commission

[15:52] has not met since our last meeting. We

[15:56] meet on the 31st

[15:59] and uh I have no other concerns.

[16:02] Councilman Combmes.

[16:04] >> Yes, Deputy Mayor. Um, the plan and

[16:06] zoning commission has not met since our

[16:08] last meeting and I have no concerns

[16:11] today.

[16:15] » Councilman Coward,

[16:16] >> uh, the, uh, public utility board met

[16:20] yesterday, had a healthy discussion

[16:22] about the land that's a little later on

[16:24] the agenda and the potential to, uh,

[16:28] secure our future for electrical

[16:30] generation. So, Some of that will come

[16:32] up later, but I appreciate all the staff

[16:34] work on that.

[16:39] All right. Anything else?

[16:42] Okay, Councilwoman Hansen.

[16:45] >> Um, I have to apologize because I don't

[16:48] know the status of the historic

[16:49] preservation committee. I haven't been

[16:50] to a meeting in several months. Um, and

[16:53] need to get back at that. Um, my concern

[16:56] would be that I'm hoping as we're

[16:58] looking at the budget for next year that

[17:00] we could explore the possibilities of an

[17:03] adaptive sports program

[17:05] um with Callaway County Special

[17:07] Services.

[17:10] >> Thank you.

[17:14] All right. Uh, Council Heni is absent

[17:16] tonight. Councilwoman Rail,

[17:20] >> I have had more than several concerns

[17:23] from constituents in my ward with regard

[17:27] to mowing, with regard to flooding of

[17:31] their backyards, from the rain, with

[17:33] regarding it doesn't really matter. Just

[17:36] quite quite several phone calls and

[17:40] every single time I bring it to the

[17:42] city, they address it. I don't know that

[17:46] they take care of it right away, but

[17:47] they address it. So, I just want my

[17:50] constituents to know

[17:52] that I do take it where it needs to go

[17:54] and it is addressed and I don't know if

[17:56] it's solved immediately, but I feel very

[17:59] confident that it will be and I thank

[18:01] you all for doing that.

[18:05] » As sometimes answered, it's not the

[18:07] city's responsibility, but it's always

[18:09] good to check in. Thank you,

[18:11] Councilwoman Reclu.

[18:14] So, good evening everyone. Um, I jump on

[18:19] what Marine said. Um, we have water in

[18:21] our backyard right now. There's a lot of

[18:23] construction going on at South

[18:26] and uh, so yeah, we've got a lot of

[18:29] problems sit out there and uh, we deal

[18:31] with it one at a time. Yes. Every time

[18:33] that I have approached city to talk

[18:34] about this kind of thing, you know,

[18:36] there are things they can't repair. This

[18:38] is a homeowner's responsibility on some

[18:40] of these things, but we are bring it to

[18:42] us and we will try to take care of what

[18:44] we can. And that's all I have tonight.

[18:46] Thank you.

[18:47] >> Thank you,

[18:49] Councilman Washington.

[18:52] >> Thank you. Uh uh just uh I don't believe

[18:56] we had a park board meeting since last

[19:00] time. Uh the concern I have uh I just

[19:03] like to have an update. Uh I on the

[19:08] Crestwood about the sidewalks and just

[19:11] uh I know we had a grant and that things

[19:14] I think things have been pushed to push

[19:16] back. I just get an update for the

[19:17] people that might be listening about the

[19:20] sidewalks and things that we're looking

[19:22] to do in the future over there.

[19:24] >> Mr. Dunlap, would you like to come on

[19:26] down? I

[19:26] >> think we have a meeting on that.

[19:29] >> Thank you. I am sure Daryl will cover

[19:30] that in his comments.

[19:35] » Yeah, we've been working with the state

[19:37] to get that grant moved on on through

[19:39] the uh I believe tomorrow at 4:00.

[19:43] That correct, city clerk?

[19:44] >> Yes,

[19:45] >> there is a a meeting on it here open to

[19:47] the public for questions and concerns

[19:49] and we'll have the drawings and sketches

[19:50] here at that time for anybody wants to

[19:52] stop by.

[19:53] >> Okay. Thank you. And

[19:53] >> that's here.

[19:55] >> Yes, it is here.

[19:57] >> Thank you.

[20:01] Anything else?

[20:02] >> No.

[20:02] >> All right. Thank you.

[20:04] >> All right. We'll move on to resolutions.

[20:06] Do we have anything on 3617?

[20:11] » Thank you very much. No. Um 3617. We

[20:14] asked for you guys to postpone to this

[20:16] meeting. At this time, Tom, our city

[20:18] attorney, is still finalizing some of

[20:20] the details. So, personally, I think we

[20:23] can just let this one die and then when

[20:25] it's time to bring it back, we will

[20:26] bring it back to you. I I hate to have

[20:28] you postpone it again uh as we're

[20:30] waiting. I don't I want to be efficient

[20:32] with your time. So,

[20:34] I would just let this one die.

[20:37] >> Okay.

[20:38] >> Unless there's any opposition to that.

[20:39] >> I'm really going to say I'd really like

[20:41] to see it next time get get through it.

[20:44] >> I've heard your I've heard your opinion,

[20:46] Deputy Mayor.

[20:49] >> Mr. Bor,

[20:50] >> resolution 3617, agreement with the

[20:53] invoice cloud electronic bill payment

[20:55] service. A resolution authorizing the

[20:58] director of administration on the behalf

[20:59] of the city of Bulton, Missouri to sign

[21:02] all necessary document in relations to

[21:04] an agreement with the invoice cloud

[21:06] incorporated for electronic billing

[21:09] presentment and payment service. I make

[21:12] a motion that we pass resolution 3617

[21:17] at tonight's council meeting.

[21:19] >> Before somebody makes a second.

[21:21] >> No, it's not possible.

[21:22] >> It's okay. It's okay. Before someone

[21:24] makes a second, just know if we don't

[21:25] get a second, it will automatically die.

[21:27] So, we can just sit here for a moment in

[21:29] silence. And I'm assuming I'm not going

[21:31] to hear a second.

[21:32] >> I kind of figured that.

[21:33] >> That's okay. You were procedurally you

[21:35] were fine. So, if uh I will turn it back

[21:38] over to the deputy mayor, but I'm not

[21:39] hearing a second. [laughter]

[21:41] >> Just getting nervous. That's fine.

[21:47] » All right. Uh resolution 3617 dies for

[21:51] lack of a second.

[21:53] Thank you. All right. Presenter. Um,

[21:56] resolution 3618.

[21:59] I'm down on the docket for this one. So,

[22:02] resolution 3618, agreement with Twiling

[22:04] Construction Company for grave

[22:05] excavation services. A resolution

[22:08] authorizing the mayor on behalf of the

[22:10] city of Fton, Missouri to execute a

[22:12] contract with Twiling Construction

[22:13] Company of Fton, Missouri for grave

[22:16] excavation services and establish an

[22:18] effective date. I move adoption of

[22:20] resolution 3618 at tonight's council

[22:22] meeting.

[22:23] >> Second.

[22:24] >> Motion to second. Any discussion of of

[22:27] this item?

[22:29] >> I would just simply note that we have

[22:31] had u a long-standing agreement with Mr.

[22:34] Twilman and have appreciated a good

[22:36] working relationship with him for many

[22:37] years. Again, the city goes out Kathy,

[22:40] it's approximately every five years. Is

[22:41] that three years? We go out to bid every

[22:44] three years for this. Um, again, he was

[22:45] the low bidder and we've been very

[22:47] pleased with his work for many years.

[22:49] >> I know it's been

[22:51] first

[22:53] probably close 10 years.

[22:55] >> All right. Anything else? All those in

[22:58] favor, please say yes.

[23:00] >> Yes.

[23:01] >> Those opposed? No. The yeses have it.

[23:04] Thank you. Resolution 3619, Mrs. Hansen.

[23:07] This is Clean Water State Revolving

[23:09] Fund.

[23:10] >> Yes. Uh, resolution 3619,

[23:14] Clean Water State Revolving Fund,

[23:16] authorized representatives. A resolution

[23:18] authorizing the filing of an application

[23:20] with the Missouri Department of Natural

[23:22] Resources Clean Water State Revolving

[23:25] Fund Program for financial assistance

[23:27] under the Missouri Clean Water Law,

[23:29] chapter 644.

[23:33] I would like to make a motion to adopt

[23:35] resolution 3619 at this council meeting.

[23:42] I'll second

[23:46] motion a second to adopt 136 3619 at

[23:49] tonight's council meeting. Any

[23:50] discussion of this m matter?

[23:53] >> I would just clarify this is just

[23:55] solidifying the number or the specific

[23:57] individuals who are allowed to get

[23:59] information or sign particular documents

[24:01] related to the wastewater treatment

[24:03] plant program and the funding that's

[24:05] associated with that. So, we do need

[24:07] this agreement with DNR accordingly.

[24:12] » All those in favor, please say yes.

[24:14] >> Yes.

[24:15] >> Those opposed?

[24:17] >> Guesses have it. Thank you. All right.

[24:20] We are now to ordinances. The first

[24:22] ordinance we have is an emergency

[24:23] ordinance. It's uh bill number 1796,

[24:27] airport infrastructure grant agreement

[24:29] amendment.

[24:31] Uh do you have any words to say before

[24:33] we go into this, sir? Um I would just

[24:35] note that we were recently made aware of

[24:37] a grant deadline um which unfortunately

[24:39] is going to occur prior to our next

[24:41] meeting. So the city of Fulton tries not

[24:43] to have any um emergency ordinances

[24:46] unless they're really really needed and

[24:48] we can justify the reasoning behind it.

[24:52] get approximately $137,000 in grant

[24:55] funding while our portion that we pay

[24:57] out is approximately $1,397.

[25:00] So really important funding for our

[25:02] airport and uh we wish we could have

[25:04] known about this a little earlier

[25:07] at this evening's meeting.

[38:02] believe the commissioners and the county

[38:04] assessor's office that they needed to

[38:06] reconfigure the number a couple times.

[38:09] So, uh while I can't speak to their

[38:12] reconfigurations or what prompted that,

[38:15] we were notified that there was a change

[38:16] and then received our proforma from the

[38:18] state auditor's office.

[38:21] >> It [clears throat] seems like we're

[38:22] always pushing the

[38:24] Mike's opinion. We we're always pushing

[38:26] this at the last minute. Um I know the

[38:29] timeline's pretty tight for the for the

[38:31] county, but really be nice to get this a

[38:34] little earlier than the last meeting.

[44:22] >> Thank you. Bill number 1792

[44:25] has passed.

[44:27] That concludes our ordinances. Uh move

[44:30] us to announcements. Next city council

[44:33] meeting will be held on Tuesday,

[44:34] September 8th at 6:30 p.m. The city of

[44:38] Bolton, Legends Reclex, and the solid

[44:40] waste department will be closed Monday,

[44:42] September 7, in observance of the Labor

[44:44] Day holiday. Emergency service will

[44:47] remain in normal operation. The Fton

[44:49] City Council will meet only once in

[44:51] September due to the Missouri Municipal

[44:53] League conference. Any other

[44:55] announcements to anyone?

[44:57] >> Uh, one thing obviously schools started

[44:59] this week and with that brings a lot of

[45:01] additional traffic and um, you know,

[45:03] some different patterns with that

[45:05] traffic. So, just a reminder to the

[45:07] community, mind those school zones.

[45:09] Please be careful when driving,

[45:11] especially when pedestrians are nearby.

[45:13] Uh, and practice a little bit of

[45:14] patience. um school buses and school

[45:18] personnel I know are working very

[45:19] diligently to try to keep everyone safe

[45:21] and get everyone in the facilities in a

[45:23] timely manner. So you might notice some

[45:25] changes. Plan a couple extra minutes to

[45:27] get yourself to where you need to go.

[45:29] And then lastly, I just want to say

[45:30] thank you again to staff. It's been warm

[45:33] again lately. So for everybody who's

[45:35] been out there working very, very hard.

[45:37] We appreciate all that you're doing and

[45:39] we want you to stay cool and safe. Um,

[45:41] but whether it's making sure that your

[45:43] trash gets picked up or taking care of

[45:44] the roadways or making sure that you

[45:46] know where there should be a stop sign

[45:48] because sometimes people take those. Uh,

[45:51] we appreciate all of that kind of stuff

[45:52] being taken care of, especially when

[45:54] it's really hot outside. So, thank you

[45:56] guys very much.

[45:57] >> Thank you for those. I was going to

[45:58] bring up the school. Thank you for that.

[46:00] Any other announcements? Anyone? We have

[46:04] no need for executive session tonight.

[46:11] Okay, M

[46:12] >> Mr. Washington, Mr. Clue, non-debatable.

[46:16] Any All those in favor, please say yes.

[46:20] Those opposed, you stay around, I guess.
