Glad to have folks   2 00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:25,520 here with us tonight and of course those who are  watching online. We've got of course many people   3 00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:29,680 participating but you'll notice that council  member Walston is not here with us today. Also,   4 00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:34,320 we're waiting for the online arrival of our city  attorney, James Klahr. And if we have to pause   5 00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:38,080 for a moment to bring him in digitally,  we'll work on that one. We'll go ahead   6 00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:42,800 and start our meeting tonight with our vision  and mission statements. Our vision statement,   7 00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:47,600 the city of Kirksville will create a welcoming  and thriving community as northeast Missouri   8 00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:54,400 center for education, commerce, health,  recreation, and culture. Our mission statement,   9 00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:59,920 the city of Kirksville offers opportunities for  building quality of life and meaningful community   10 00:07:59,920 --> 00:08:19,520 through ethical and responsible government. I  now ask that you join me for a moment of silence. 11 00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:34,880 Thank you very much. I now ask that you  join me for the pledge of allegiance. 12 00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:41,280 I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United  States of America and to the republic for which   13 00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:54,560 it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with  liberty and justice for all. Thank you very much. 14 00:08:54,560 --> 00:08:59,200 Let's go ahead and review the order of tonight's  agenda. Mari, are there any recommended additions   15 00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:02,640 or changes this evening? So, I do want to  bring one change to your attention that's   16 00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:08,640 on item number three. Um, it refers to it as the  transportation assistance program. It's actually   17 00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:14,000 the transportation alternatives program. Uh,  the city clerk does have a corrected resolution   18 00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:21,280 to that effect. Okay, very good. Anything else  recommended, Mari? That is it. Okay. Well, seeing   19 00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:25,520 nothing else, I'll entertain a motion and second  to approve the order of tonight's agenda. So, move   20 00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:31,120 so. Council member Bansal, second from council  member Steele. Any discussion? All those in favor,   21 00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:36,880 please raise your hand and say I. I. All those  opposed. The order of the agenda is approved.   22 00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:40,400 Let's move on to approval of our minutes.  I'll entertain a motion and second to approve   23 00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:45,920 our minutes for our regular session meeting  held on the 9th of February, 2026. So moved,   24 00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:50,240 council member Gardner, second from council member  Steele. All those in favor, please raise your hand   25 00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:56,880 and say I. I. All those opposed. The minutes are  approved. Going to move into our information,   26 00:09:56,880 --> 00:10:01,440 presentations, and public hearing section tonight.  And I have a proclamation that I'd like to read   27 00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:07,520 uh regarding National Engineers Week. Whereas  engineers use their specific their scientific   28 00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:12,080 skills rather and specialized knowledge and  skills in creative and innovative ways to   29 00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:17,280 fulfill society's needs. Engineering has been  called the invisible or stealth profession   30 00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:23,200 because of everything around us and things we use  every day have been engineered in some way. Yet,   31 00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:29,680 we may not see the engineers behind the scenes  or know much about engineering. Founded in 1951,   32 00:10:29,680 --> 00:10:35,600 National Engineers Week is dedicated to ensuring  a diverse and well-educated future engineering   33 00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:42,320 workforce by increasing understanding of and  interest in engineering and technology careers.   34 00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:48,880 Eweek is a formal coalition of more than 70  engineering, education, and cultural societies   35 00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:53,760 with more than 50 corporations and government  agencies dedicated to raising public awareness   36 00:10:53,760 --> 00:11:00,960 of engineers positive contributions to quality  of life. E-Week promotes recognition among parents,   37 00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:06,480 teachers, and students of the importance of a  technical education and a high level of math,   38 00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:12,480 science, and technology literacy. and motivates  youth to pursue engineering careers in order to   39 00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:17,600 provide a diverse and vigorous engineering  workforce. The city of Kirksville would like   40 00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:21,920 to acknowledge engineers across the city of  Kirksville in honor of National Engineers   41 00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:28,560 Week observed February 22nd through the 28th.  And now I'd like to bring forward some of our   42 00:11:28,560 --> 00:11:33,120 own engineering staff as we get together for  a photo on this. While they're coming forward,   43 00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:39,920 I want to highlight um had a opportunity to go  out to the public meeting that we had about the   44 00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:43,920 Mill Street improvements, where we had our own  engineering team out there to talk about it.   45 00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:48,560 We had some of our contracted engineers on site  as well. And one of the great things about being   46 00:11:48,560 --> 00:11:52,480 able to tell a story through good engineering  about what's going to happen, what's going to   47 00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:57,280 occur. Uh one point a local citizen turned to  me and said, "Oh, well, I've got questions,   48 00:11:57,280 --> 00:12:00,960 but you're not an engineer. Clearly, what can you  do?" And I said, "Well, it just so happens we've   49 00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:04,400 got one right here." So it worked out pretty great  to be able to have somebody to share the story   50 00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:08,000 what's going to be happen in our community. So I  want to thank you both and your whole department   51 00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:17,600 for the good engineering work that happens  here in the city first. So one of these here. 52 00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:27,760 All right. Thank you all very much. 53 00:12:34,560 --> 00:12:39,040 We'll now move into our action items this evening,  which will start with action item number one,   54 00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:47,440 city clerk reading of bill number 2024- or  2026-04. Ordinance of the city council of the   55 00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:54,160 city of Kirksville, Missouri, authorizing the city  manager to execute a colllocation agreement with   56 00:12:54,160 --> 00:13:00,240 the Kirksville area chamber of commerce updating  the reimbursement payments for the administrative   57 00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:05,520 assistance time for monthly to quarterly. Thank  you for that reading. Is there a motion and second   58 00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:11,120 to approve on first reading? So move second.  Council member Steele, second from council member   59 00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:14,880 Bansal. Our staff report tonight will be with  Mari Macomber, our city manager. Good evening,   60 00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:20,160 Mary. Good evening, mayor and council. So, the  city council has already authorized a collocation   61 00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:25,760 agreement with the chamber. Um, they had been  occupying 304 South Franklin, which is just kind   62 00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:31,120 of kitty corner, caddy corner from us. Um, they  relocated into our economic development alliance   63 00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:38,400 at 315 South Franklin. And, um, what we have  discussed here is the chamber has requested that   64 00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:43,920 they reimburse for the administrative assistant  on a quarterly basis as opposed to monthly. Um,   65 00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:50,080 and the other thing is that we took the first  year to figure out how many hours. Um, so what   66 00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:54,720 where we've landed is that each entity down  there will have 10 hours of the administrative   67 00:13:54,720 --> 00:14:02,000 assistance time. Um, as far as fiscal impact over  the course of the the calendar year, fiscal year,   68 00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:09,280 uh, the chamber will pay about 15,500, uh, which  equals about 3,800 quarterly. Um, and so that's   69 00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:16,080 basically most the the biggest thing was just a  change in how we charge them for the services.   70 00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:21,200 Mari, thank you for the report. Any questions or  comments from council this evening? Any citizens   71 00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:26,080 input on the matter tonight? And we'll go ahead  and vote. All those in favor, please raise your   72 00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:32,720 hand and say I. I. I. All those opposed. Motion is  approved on first reading. So I now call for city   73 00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:40,000 clerk reading of bill number 2026-04. Ordinance  of the city council of the city of Kirksville,   74 00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:47,120 Missouri, authorizing the city manager to execute  a colllocation agreement with the Kirksville area   75 00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:53,520 chamber of commerce updating the reimbursement  payments for the administrative assistance time   76 00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:58,320 from monthly to quarterly.

I'll go ahead and   80 00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:20,480 note that our city attorney, James Klahr, has been  able to join us. James, good evening. Glad to have   81 00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:26,560 you here with us tonight. We'll go ahead.

Thank you for that  reading. Is there a motion and second to approve?   86 00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:54,960 So moved, council member Gardner, second from  council member Steele. Staff report is with Mari.   87 00:15:54,960 --> 00:16:00,400 So um good evening again, mayor and council. Uh  the city entered into an agreement with Arc Images   88 00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:08,240 back in 2023 after doing a competitive request for  proposal process. Um ArchImages focuses largely on   89 00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:14,320 um emergency services facilities. Uh they have  done quite a bit of the work for the police   90 00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:20,480 station. Um a little bit of the work on the north  end, but with the um the change in the focus of   91 00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:27,600 how um you know from one station to two stations,  some additional work is needed. Um and so   92 00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:32,240 um we're asking the council to continue  that relationship with ArchImages. Mari,   93 00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:37,520 thank you for the report. Any questions or  comments from council tonight? Any citizens input   94 00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:42,080 on the matter? And we'll go ahead and take it  to a vote. All those in favor, please raise your   95 00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:49,440 hand and say I. I. All those opposed. Motion is  approved. Move then to action item number three,   96 00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:57,280 city clerk reading of a resolution. Resolution  of the city council of the city of Kirksville,   97 00:16:57,280 --> 00:17:04,960 Missouri, approving the bid of Eminem Utilities  LLC, Chilikathy, Missouri, for the construction of   98 00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:13,920 the flats trail head connector project tap 3700214  funded in part with the Missouri Department of   99 00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:21,200 Transportation Transportation Alternatives Program  Grant and subject to the approval of the granting   100 00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:26,480 authority.

Um, so this is the first of a few   103 00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:39,120 I've got tonight. Um, so this is the uh the Flats  Trail Head Connector sidewalk, the one that's   104 00:17:39,120 --> 00:17:44,800 going to run down Washington Street and tie to the  uh the Flats Trail Head Park. Um, we did get three   105 00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:50,400 bids for the project. Uh, the lowest is Eminem  Utilities out of Chillicothe, Missouri. We've not   106 00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:53,840 They've bid on a few of our projects. This will  be our first project with them. They did come   107 00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:59,280 pre-qualified from MoDOT and uh we checked with  some references and uh by all accounts they're   108 00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:04,400 uh capable of doing the work. So we recommend  awarding the project. Adam, thanks for the report   109 00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:08,880 and for the research on that one. Any council  comments on the matter? It'll be excited to get   110 00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:12,080 this underway. I think we've been talking about  this for a while, so it'll be good to see it in   111 00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:19,120 action and finished shortly. Absolutely. Any  citizens input on the matter tonight? We'll go   112 00:18:19,120 --> 00:18:24,720 ahead and vote. All those in favor, please raise  your hand and say, "I." I. I.

Authorizing the city manager   115 00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:47,280 to approve the purchase of a 2026 Caterpillar  PM312 coldplaner with options and attachments   116 00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:53,840 from Altorfer for CAT Hannibal, Missouri, using the  Sourcewell cooperative purchasing program. Thank   117 00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:58,880 you for that reading, Diane. Is there a motion and  second to approve? So move. Council member Steele.   118 00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:03,200 Second. Second from council member Bansal. Staff  report is again with Adam. All right. Good evening   119 00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:07,920 council again. Um, so this is uh the purchase  that we've been discussing with the milling   120 00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:12,960 machine. We've rented one or leased one for three  or four months every summer for the last four or   121 00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:17,200 five years. One nice thing about leasing it um  even though we are going to go ahead and purchase   122 00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:22,240 one now is we got to try out a lot of different  machines which was actually very good. So we   123 00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:27,760 kind of knew what we wanted when we went into this  and knew what uh manufacturers that we liked. So   124 00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:34,160 um this project or this uh purchase is coming in  under budget. Uh we had 750,000 budgeted for the   125 00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:42,320 purchase. Uh purchase price as quoted was 589,000  in change. So that leaves a little over $160,000.   126 00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:48,000 Um and uh any questions? I ask you approved.  Adam, thank you for the report. Questions or   127 00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:54,400 comments from council? How long does it take  to get this type of item? Don't know what the   128 00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:59,520 lead time's going to be. Um, they did I believe  they had a one that we could get fairly quickly,   129 00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:06,000 but that was back in probably December when we  were talking to them about that. So, yeah. Well,   130 00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:11,520 I guess we'll see. You're open. I'd like to say  thank you for getting something coming in under   131 00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:16,560 budget. I appreciate that. Don't thank me yet.  We got another one to go. We're going to use   132 00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:22,480 those savings for something else here in a minute.  Any citizens comment on the matter this evening?   133 00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:27,600 We'll go ahead and take it to a vote. All those in  favor, please raise your hand and say I. I. I. All   134 00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:33,280 those opposed. Motion is approved. It's going  to bring us then to action item number five,   135 00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:39,280 city clerk reading of a resolution. Resolution  of the city council of the city of Kirksville,   136 00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:48,640 Missouri, authorizing the purchase of a 2026  Caterpillar AP655 asphalt paper with options   137 00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:54,640 and attachments from Altorfor CAT, Hannibal,  Missouri using the source well cooperative   138 00:20:54,640 --> 00:21:00,560 purchasing program. Thank you for that reading.  Is there a motion and second to approve? So moved.   139 00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:05,280 Council Gardner. Second from council member Steele.  Staff report is with Adam. All right. So, this is   140 00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:09,760 the purchase of a new PA to replace our existing  one. It was a used machine when we purchased it,   141 00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:15,760 I believe, six years ago. So, we've gotten our our  money's worth out of that one. Um, this one we did   142 00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:22,400 have 550,000 budgeted. The cost of it came in at  580,000. So, we are a little bit over budget, but   143 00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:27,520 based on the savings from the uh from the milling  machine, they're in the same budget line, so that   144 00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:36,000 will uh work itself out. Excellent. So, the two  together is still under budget. Oh yeah. 131,000.   145 00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:43,840 Yeah. Any council discussion on the matter? Any  citizens input? We'll go ahead and vote. All those   146 00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:51,520 in favor, please raise your hand and say I. I. I.  All those opposed. Motion is approved. Let's move   147 00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:57,760 then to action item number six. City clerk reading  of a resolution. Resolution of the city council   148 00:21:57,760 --> 00:22:06,480 of the city of Kirksville, Missouri, authorizing  the purchase of a 2026 Gorman Rub 6 in submersible   149 00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:13,120 pump and power unit from Hydrokinetics Corporation  St. Louis, Missouri for the wastewater treatment   150 00:22:13,120 --> 00:22:18,800 plant. Thank you for that reading. Is there a  motion and second on approval? So move Steele.   151 00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:24,000 Second from Council Member Gardner. Staff reports  with Adam. All right. So, this one is a uh a pump   152 00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:27,440 that we use to pump down our clarifiers at the  wastewater treatment plant. If you've seen those,   153 00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:31,600 they're about 18 feet deep. The pump that we have  out there isn't really suited for that purpose.   154 00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:36,080 It's a lot easier to push water up that high  than it is to try to draw it up or suck it up   155 00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:40,160 with the pump. This is a submersible pump, so  the pump itself will be lowered down into the   156 00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:46,320 basin. It's powered by a a power unit that stays  up on top. It's hydraulically powered, and so   157 00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:50,240 um it'll be able to push the water a lot better.  will be a lot more efficient and uh we won't wear   158 00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:54,960 out seals and gaskets and and a bunch of other  problems that we've had with the current pump.   159 00:22:54,960 --> 00:23:00,160 Um this power unit is we can move it around and  use it for different pumps. So the plan is in   160 00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:04,080 27. We have a similar situation at the water  treatment plant with our clarifiers out there   161 00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:07,920 that we have to pump them out. They have a pump  that they've been getting by with but also isn't   162 00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:13,520 ideal for the purposes to purchase just a pump  at the water plant and then we can use the same   163 00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:19,040 uh power unit for each one of them. It was noted  um when we gave our presentation before that the   164 00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:23,680 existing pump that we have now will be traded in.  It doesn't have a lot of hours on it. It's fairly   165 00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:28,880 new. We haven't had a lot of success selling pumps  like that on Purple Wave and they gave us a pretty   166 00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:34,960 good trade in value for it. Very good. Adam,  thank you for the report. Any council questions   167 00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:41,600 or comments? Any citizens input on this matter?  We'll go ahead and vote. All those in favor,   168 00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:48,080 please raise your hand and say I. I. I. All  those opposed. Motion is approved. Take us then   169 00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:53,680 to action item number seven. City clerk reading  of a resolution. Resolution of the city council   170 00:23:53,680 --> 00:24:00,240 of the city of Kirksville, Missouri, authorizing  the purchase of a 12in diesel-driven pump from   171 00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:06,800 Hydrokinetics Corporation, St. Louis, Missouri  for use at the Northeast Lift Station. Thank you   172 00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:10,480 for the reading. Is there a motion and second  for approval? So moved. Second. Council member   173 00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:14,480 Bansal. Second from Council Member Gardner. Staff  report is with Adam. All right. Well, I'm sure you   174 00:24:14,480 --> 00:24:19,840 recall about two years ago, we had an emergency  lease of a pump for the Northeast Lift Station   175 00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:26,640 um after the uh the transfer pumps had failed.  We're still using that rental pump. Um it's we're   176 00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:30,720 thinking we're going to need it at least for a few  more years. At this point, then it become it makes   177 00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:35,600 more sense for us to not lease it anymore and just  purchase a pump. So, we reached out to the uh the   178 00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:40,080 supplier that that brought in the rental pump and  got a quote from them. was a little higher than   179 00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:44,640 we were expecting. So, we reached out to another  supplier and found a another pump that they had   180 00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:51,200 actually sitting there ready to go um down in St.  Louis that uh that's pretty much meets the exact   181 00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:56,640 same hydraulic conditions and uh will be a good  fit. That one came in significantly cheaper than   182 00:24:56,640 --> 00:25:03,280 the uh than the pump, the existing one that sat  there. So, we have 172,330. That's for the pump,   183 00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:10,160 startup services, hoses, um valves, a few other  things that we need. We had budgeted 205,000 for   184 00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:14,880 the pump. So, I don't believe we'll need anything  else for the pump, but once it gets here and it   185 00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:18,480 starts operation, if there is anything else that  we need for its operation, we'll take it out of   186 00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:24,000 that line. Very good, Adam. Thank you for that  report. Any questions or comments? Is it the same   187 00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:29,280 same quality, same manufacturer? Uh, it's Yeah,  Gorman Rup. It's a really nice pump actually. So,   188 00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:34,240 um probably a better brand, you know, in the  market than the than the current one that's   189 00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:38,000 sitting there, but got a better rate. So, that's  a good thing. Yeah. Yeah, it was a good and part   190 00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:42,000 of the reason we got a much better rate on that  one was that it somebody else had ordered the pump   191 00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:46,560 and then didn't get it and so it was sitting down  there so they needed to move it. So, they gave us   192 00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:53,440 a pretty good price on it. Thank you. Any citizens  input on this matter? We'll go ahead and vote. All   193 00:25:53,440 --> 00:26:01,120 those in favor, please raise your hand and say  I. I. All those opposed. Motion is approved. It's   194 00:26:01,120 --> 00:26:05,760 going to move us then to action item number eight  this evening. City clerk reading of a resolution.   195 00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:11,840 Resolution of the city council of the city of  Kirksville, Missouri, authorizing the purchase   196 00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:18,960 of crushed rock and sand for the 2026 fiscal  year using the pricing agreement from Central   197 00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:24,400 Stone Company provided funds are available. Thank  you for that reading. Is there a motion and second   198 00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:28,960 to approve? So moved. Council member Gardner  and then council member Steele with the second.   199 00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:34,240 Staff reports with Adam. All right. So this is a  rock that we use for lots of different purposes.   200 00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:40,560 Asphalt machine. uh or the asphalt plant to back  fill for water manes just kind of allpurpose   201 00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:45,520 rock. Um you can see there's a bunch of different  types of rock. They all come from Central Stone,   202 00:26:45,520 --> 00:26:48,800 but they come from different quaries. Different  quaries have different types and they produce   203 00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:53,360 different things. Central Stone owns pretty much  all of the quaries around. So there isn't really   204 00:26:53,360 --> 00:26:59,600 anybody else to even get a uh to get a quote from.  So uh if any questions, I'd ask that you approve.   205 00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:04,800 Adam, thank you for that report. Any questions or  comments from council? Any citizens input on the   206 00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:10,160 matter? We'll go ahead and take it to a vote. All  those in favor, please raise your hand and say I.   207 00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:16,880 I. All those opposed. Motion is approved. Move to  our final action item of this evening. Action item   208 00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:22,000 number nine, which will start with city clerk  reading of a resolution. Resolution of the city   209 00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:28,400 council of the city of Kirksville, Missouri,  authorizing the use of city funds as needed for   210 00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:37,760 these deliveries of rock and sand products for the  2026 fiscal year to GooGri Trucking for KCO1 Edina   211 00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:47,360 QR and RV products only and Fountain and Suns  Trucking for KCO1 Edina CS01 Huntington products   212 00:27:47,360 --> 00:27:53,600 CS90 Taylor Lrange products and hourly hauling.  Thank you for that reading. Is there a motion and   213 00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:58,560 second to approve? So move. Council member Steel.  Second. Second from Council Member Gardner. Adam,   214 00:27:58,560 --> 00:28:03,520 go ahead and take us home. All right. So uh  for my final uh final offering this evening,   215 00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:08,640 uh this is our hauling services for a rock that  we purchased from uh from Central Stone. Uh we   216 00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:13,680 started doing it this way last year, I believe,  where we broke it up into each individual quarry   217 00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:18,240 location basically that they will haul from  and individual material. So you can see GooG's   218 00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:23,600 trucking was the low bidder for one item uh or  for two items and uh Fountain and Suns was the   219 00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:26,880 low bidder for the other one. That way we can  kind of break them up a little bit and get the   220 00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:31,440 the best bang for our buck. I should have noted it  on the other one. Uh but I'll note it here that we   221 00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:35,760 do include a lot of other budget lines, not just  stuff at public works, but also parks and other   222 00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:40,320 departments that could use stone so that they  are able to utilize uh both of these contracts   223 00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:46,400 for stone and for the hauling. We also use the  hourly hauling. Um we've used it for some of the   224 00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:51,520 uh paving equipment um from time to time or if we  have something large that we need to move that we   225 00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:56,400 may not have the trailers for then we have uh we  have used that hourly hauling from time to time.   226 00:28:56,400 --> 00:29:02,080 Very good. Adam, thank you for that report. Any  questions or comments from councel? Any citizens   227 00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:07,040 input on the matter this evening? Seeing none,  we'll go ahead and take it to a vote. All those   228 00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:13,280 in favor, please raise your hand and say I. I. All  those opposed. Motion is approved. Adam, thank you   229 00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:18,160 very much. That concludes our action items this  evening, which means we'll move into our citizens   230 00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:22,400 participation component of the meeting. This is  an opportunity for anyone who would like to come   231 00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:27,280 forward and address the council on any topic that  hasn't been previously talked about on tonight's   232 00:29:27,280 --> 00:29:32,000 agenda. You're welcome to do so for up to five  minutes time. I do ask that you introduce yourself   233 00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:38,880 before you begin speaking. And with that, the  podium is open. Okay, people. My name is Maggie   234 00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:47,600 Wilmolina. I got married Friday and Dominic got  down. I thought he had leg problem but he asked   235 00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:56,320 me to marry. So we got married Smy Friday. So my  name is Maggie Rolino. Congratulations Mrs. Woman   236 00:29:56,320 --> 00:30:03,280 Mina. Thank you. Um I was looking around. They  got these apartments empty. you know, we open   237 00:30:03,280 --> 00:30:11,280 them up and help the homeless and let the money go  through the city. That way the city had a little   238 00:30:11,280 --> 00:30:19,040 bit more money to help other people like police  station, uh, city hall and stuff like that. Uh,   239 00:30:19,040 --> 00:30:28,080 I heard on the TV or the radio I don't that the  chair coffee got brand new jail house and a brand   240 00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:36,080 new police station. What? We could do that for the  police station. Get these PE places open for the   241 00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:44,480 homeless. Let them get a job, support the self.  Then the city get the money cuz they they by the   242 00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:52,320 police station is open. They nailed it down. We  could reopen up. They're not apartments. I've been   243 00:30:52,320 --> 00:31:00,320 in them. We could open up. help the homeless  and people that got conn out of the money and   244 00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:06,320 everything. We could really help people out and  then it would say, "Oh, cook for help homeless.   245 00:31:06,320 --> 00:31:12,960 Help everybody out." And that's what we want  to hear and and everything and get these drug   246 00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:21,440 dealer out. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Are  there others who'd wish to speak this evening? 247 00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:26,080 We'll go ahead and move on then to our next  section which is council comments. Are there   248 00:31:26,080 --> 00:31:32,000 any comments the council members would like to  share this evening? I'll note that uh last week I   249 00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:36,000 had the opportunity to or rather this week no I'm  getting all my dates confused. Last week I had the   250 00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:43,200 opportunity to attend event on just serve for our  community u which was introducing members of our   251 00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:48,240 community to this platform. um talked about some  of the different member agencies who are utilizing   252 00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:53,520 this already to uh solicit folks who want to  volunteer. I just want to encourage people to   253 00:31:53,520 --> 00:31:58,640 think about how they might serve in our Kirksville  community and to consider utilizing Just Serve and   254 00:31:58,640 --> 00:32:03,600 registering on that platform. I think as we get  more and more organizations that begin listing   255 00:32:03,600 --> 00:32:09,040 service opportunities on there, um we have a a  better concerted effort to bring forth some good   256 00:32:09,040 --> 00:32:13,520 and positive community service. Also a wonderful  opportunity to meet and engage with people. So,   257 00:32:13,520 --> 00:32:17,920 I hope that's something that folks will consider.  If there's nothing further, I'm going to turn   258 00:32:17,920 --> 00:32:21,520 it over to Mari for a newsletter review this  evening. Good evening, Mary. Good evening again,   259 00:32:21,520 --> 00:32:26,880 Mayor and Council. So, I did want to mention  that I've modified the newsletter again. Uh   260 00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:32,640 hopefully the bullet points are a little more  helpful for you to read. Um and then two items   261 00:32:32,640 --> 00:32:36,640 that I wanted to bring to your attention on  the board and commission banquet that will be   262 00:32:36,640 --> 00:32:41,680 uh that will take place on March 30th. Um don't  really have a lot of time between now and then.   263 00:32:41,680 --> 00:32:46,800 Um, are you agreeable with the same format you  followed last time? Yes. Okay. And so talking   264 00:32:46,800 --> 00:32:52,000 points and what have you will provide you what?  Okay. All right. Wanted to just make sure on that.   265 00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:55,760 We appreciate the good good work on that one. It  was a well done event last year and I think if we   266 00:32:55,760 --> 00:32:59,920 stick with that plan it will continue to be. Okay.  And the other thing I wanted to mention is that   267 00:32:59,920 --> 00:33:08,080 business licenses um they um we have sent those  out to all businesses. Um they are due on March   268 00:33:08,080 --> 00:33:14,480 2nd. After that they'll be delinquent. So, just  wanted to um put a plug out there that they're due   269 00:33:14,480 --> 00:33:22,720 March 2nd. Mary, have we made any progress on the  ability for those or dog licenses or anything else   270 00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:28,240 to be online? So, I don't know if you remember  the last conversation we had with the finance   271 00:33:28,240 --> 00:33:33,360 director. So, I think why don't we bring that back  in March and get an update. Okay. Uh because it's   272 00:33:33,360 --> 00:33:38,400 to be honest with you, it's moving slow for  all of us. Okay. Sounds good. Thank you. So,   273 00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:43,920 we'll bring it back in March. That's all I had  on the newsletter. All right. Our next council   274 00:33:43,920 --> 00:33:49,920 meeting will be on March 9th, 2026 right here at  6 o'clock in the council chambers. At this time,   275 00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:54,160 I'm going to entertain a motion and second  to adjourn into executive session pursuant to   276 00:33:54,160 --> 00:34:03,120 revise Missouri statute 610.021, section one for  legal matters and section two for real estate. So   277 00:34:03,120 --> 00:34:07,120 moved. Council member Gardner with the motion.  Second from Council Member Steele. Because it's   278 00:34:07,120 --> 00:34:14,000 going into executive session, this will be a roll  call vote by the clerk. Council member Bansal I.   279 00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:20,560 Council member Steele I. Council member Gardner I.  Mayor Burden I. With that we are adjourned into   280 00:34:20,560 --> 00:34:28,000 executive session. Thank you all very much for  attending. I hope you have a very good evening.
