[0:00] state actually purchased $300,000 worth of portable props, the dumpster fire,

[0:06] car fire, they have a burn trailer and all that stuff. And since I was there

[0:12] and [snorts and clears throat] an instructor, I can actually request that

[0:14] equipment to come here. So, anytime we need it, we can get it here. So, that's

[0:19] kind of a bonus for the state coming down showing us how to use it.

[0:25] Um had uh Matt Brown taught a CPR class in

[0:30] Ava Rule Fire Department down there last month. Uh they had about 10 people that

[0:37] needed CPR. So we got them taken care of.

[0:41] Uh [clears throat] and then I've been contacted on the 13th of this month for

[0:46] two fire department CPR as well. About 12

[0:51] people there that Not counting the one or two nurses

[0:58] or healthcare providers that need CPR that come in or foster

[4:08] Good evening. We are busy um

[4:18] year ending. So, we're hustling trying to get all our training in and all our

[4:23] end of the year reports that we have to report like racial profiling and

[4:27] things like that. Um, we're also trying to get um, I don't know if you know it

[4:32] or not, but the state has passed a uh, statute that every law enforcement

[4:38] officer in the state of Missouri now has to have a mental health evaluation.

[4:42] And this is the year that they are due. So, we are hustling trying to get those

[4:46] in. Um, and we've got some good leads on where we can get those done for free.

[4:51] So, that's what we're trying to get set up. Um,

[4:56] John Perion has started back with the city again, which I'm very, very happy

[5:01] about. Um, he was a tough one to lose and, uh, thankful he started back with

[5:06] us again. So, that feels one of our our spots that we have available.

[5:11] Um, the new Durango are on the road. All the equipment are is in and they are

[5:16] installed and they are out and moving. So, thank you for that.

[5:21] Um, we uh started with a a new report

[5:26] writing system this month. Um, AI, >> whether you're for it or against it,

[5:32] [laughter] it is a it is a helpful tool. Um, and uh I [snorts] really think that

[5:38] it will help the guys with better cases uh with their report writing.

[5:45] Uh there's not an agency that doesn't struggle with report writing and uh this

[5:50] should help tremendously. Um

[5:54] I put a uh handout on your desk. It's called the 287G.

[6:00] It's a grant that I've applied for with um US Immigration and Customs

[6:06] Enforcement and uh it gives us the opportunity

[6:12] to receive some federal money. Um, if we're accepted in this program,

[6:19] we'll receive $100,000 per year for vehicles,

[6:23] which is huge for us. Um, you'll also get $7,500 for equipment

[6:28] per trained officer and uh there's some salary and benefit

[6:33] reimbursement and overtime as well. So, I will keep you updated on that.

[6:39] Um, the part that I'm excited about tonight is uh December 18th, Shop of the

[6:44] Hero and we raised over $30,000.

[6:50] [applause]

[6:53] » I think we're looking at about 130 kids so far. So, I'm pretty excited.

[7:01] But I want to thank the community because it's not possible without the I

[7:06] had an email. I forgot it um on my desk, but it's a uh from one of the kids'

[7:14] parents that was chosen. And uh she said she wasn't sure where

[7:18] that email would go, but she wanted to thank us personally because of um it's

[7:25] not her children's fault that they fell on hard times.

[7:28] And this is the only opportunity they would had to have Christmas. And uh

[7:33] that's what the program's about right there. So,

[7:37] but that is all I have for you. >> What's the goal? 25,000.

[7:42] » Yes. >> And we blew through it.

[7:44] » Yeah. >> Yep. Which we got more. We had more

[7:47] kids, too. So, and uh so, and we're hoping they'll get around $200 a piece.

[7:54] And that gives us a little bit in case funds aren't very good next year, we can

[7:58] move those for next year. So I can remember when I started they

[8:03] got $50 each >> and uh but

[8:08] all right anything else

[8:13] » again thank you and I thank the community for all their support on that

[8:16] » chief do a great job >> thank you chief

[8:20] » all right we have no old business so let's move on

[8:41] » Yeah. No, just recap. Um, our our meeting last week was very short and we

[8:45] got to leave early, which is the first time that's ever happened. So, we didn't

[8:49] have any minutes, [clears throat] excuse me, to present to you tonight. Our

[8:52] recap, we met with um at the senior citizen um center on Wednesday for

[8:59] lunch. That went well. We had a lot of positive feedback for the ones that uh

[9:03] were available to attend. Uh they they asked questions. They were assertive. Um

[9:09] and I hope that they will do their task of um informing the public as well of

[9:14] what they learned that day. So hopefully that goes well for us. Um first time run

[9:19] through. So, I I think we worked out a few little kinks, some things we can

[9:22] improve on, but overall was a was a productive day. Um, moving forward,

[9:28] nothing in the month of December. We will fast forward to January when we

[9:32] have our meeting at the high school um with our Jeff City rep. Um, we would

[9:38] like to encourage you guys to be there as well.

[9:40] » Date and time again? Yes, it is set up for the

[9:45] » 15th of January >> at 6 pm.

[9:48] » 15th of January at 6 pm [clears throat] >> in the high school cafeteria and we'll

[9:54] we'll kind of do the same spill that we did at the senior center. Um and then

[9:58] give the opportunity for questions. Uh it will be posted in the newspaper as

[10:02] well ahead of time inviting the public to attend so we can live stream that and

[10:08] um answer any questions or concerns that they may have.

[10:13] That's basically it. We had a positive feedback from Winterfest

[10:17] um as well as a positive feedback from lowering the tax rate and the incentive

[10:22] to pass the use tax. So, lots of positive feedback. Um lots of

[10:28] encouraging things we've heard. So, hopefully hopefully this is the year for

[10:31] us. So, >> do you have anything for us?

[10:35] » No, I was at the meeting. It was a good good meeting. It was that short. I like

[10:40] that. Short and sweet. That's the first time that's ever happened for us. So,

[10:44] » yeah. Okay. Thank you. >> All right. Thank you.

[10:46] » Thank you. [snorts] >> Now, no.

[10:51] Oh, any public comments about

[10:56] » I want to find a hand. [clears throat and laughter]

[10:59] Okay. No old business. So, we'll move to new business.

[11:04] Okay. Appreciate you. Uh, bill number 2025-14,

[11:11] first reading >> for the airport. I need a motion to

[11:14] adhere the first reading. >> Make a motion.

[11:17] » Amy, you made a motion. Second. >> Second.

[11:22] » Second. Dean, how you vote? >> Yes.

[11:29] » All right. 2025-14, an ordinance of the city of Mountain Grove, Missouri,

[11:34] authorizing the acceptance of a Missouri highways and transportation commission

[11:38] airport infrastructure grant agreement project number 24-094B-1

[11:44] for a project at the Mountain Grove Memorial Airport authorizing the mayor

[11:48] to execute the agreement and appropriating the required local

[11:53] matching funds. So, this is a one of the yearly uh I think airport grants that we

[11:59] get. This one being the IIJA. Um, I have no idea what IGA stands for,

[12:06] so don't ask me. They just sent it and there's no nowhere in their document

[12:10] does it say what IGA stands for. Um, but I guess that's something in pilot

[12:15] language. Um, or at least at the state of Missouri. So, uh, this is a grant

[12:20] that pays um 95%. We we match that with 5%. So essentially on 2025-14

[12:28] what you're doing is you're paying $10,460

[12:32] to in turn receive $198,725.

[12:39] » All right. Get a motion to accept the first reading.

[12:43] » Make the motion. >> Second. Made the motion. Second. Dean

[12:46] made second. John, how do you vote? >> Yes.

[12:49] » Yes. >> Yes.

[12:51] » Yes. >> Yes.

[12:53] » Yes. >> Yes. Yes.

[12:54] » All right. First motion carried. Okay. Need a motion to hear the second reading

[13:00] of bill number 2025-14. >> Make a motion.

[13:04] » John made a motion. >> Second.

[13:05] » Jamie second. >> Dean. How you?

[13:08] » Yes. >> Yes.

[13:10] » Yes. >> Yes.

[13:11] » Yes. >> Yes.

[13:12] » Yes. >> Yes.

[13:15] » Ordinance number 2025-14. An ordinance of the city of Mountain Grove

[13:18] authorizing the acceptance of a Missouri highways transportation commission

[13:22] airport infrastructure grant agreement project number 24-094B-1

[13:27] for a project at the Mountain Grove Memorial Airport authorizing the mayor

[13:30] to execute the agreement and appropriating the required local

[13:33] matching funds. >> Motion to accept second reading.

[13:44] » Yes. >> Yes.

[13:46] » Yes. Yes. >> Yes.

[13:48] » Yes. >> Yes.

[13:49] » Yes. >> All right.

[13:51] » So, Mr. Mayor, you'll have to sign uh some forms tonight and Larry will have

[13:55] to sign some forms. >> Do you want to specify the project just

[13:59] so that those listening since they can't see?

[14:02] » Yes. Uh it is for the uh construction of the airport hangers that's taking place

[14:07] right now. Um so, this is more of that. So, thanks. I I always forget.

[14:12] » I remember being the one in the audience and listening and being like, "What are

[14:15] they? What do they approve? >> So, I figured that would be helpful for

[14:18] those. >> This is for one right now. I was

[14:20] thinking is for a future one. >> No, this is for the one current.

[14:24] » Okay. >> Yep.

[14:26] » All right. Now, we need a motion to hear the first reading of bill 2025-

[14:33] 15. >> And and this is the same thing. So,

[14:38] think of this in terms of IGA is one pot of money. This is NP again. I have no

[14:45] idea what MPE stands for, but it is a separate pot of money and it is also for

[14:50] a 95% match. So, we're paying 7770 to get over 400 or to get $449,76.

[15:01] So, >> and for the same project again,

[15:03] » correct? For the construction of the hangers. Correct.

[15:05] » Make a motion to hear the first reading. >> Need a second.

[15:09] » Second. >> Okay. Carol first second [clears throat]

[17:57] um, you know, December, I project, probably is going to be up with

[18:02] Christmas and everything else. So, so December probably is going to be what

[18:06] carries the ball for us, but that's it's that case that was u and that one is in

[18:13] uh I didn't have a chance to read them

[18:17] because I didn't know so I don't know which one this is.

[18:19] » Would it be possible to >> please

[18:21] » um you know like we were someone had asked earlier about one of the reports

[18:27] one of these days if someone could set up a spreadsheet just so we could

[18:31] compare the months. >> Yeah. to kind of keep them going. Yeah.

[18:35] It's just [clears throat] a matter of building it out

[18:37] » so that we could see it. >> Sure. Sure. Yep.

[18:40] » Yep. >> So we can stress about it.

[18:42] » That's well and that's that's probably right in front of

[18:46] » keep in mind. >> So keep in mind we can so just for some

[18:51] context we can do that. The problem will become uh you all may get it after

[18:57] council because like I said we just got the report today.

[19:02] They're not technically supposed to. That's That's exactly right. So, so it

[19:05] could come after the council meeting. So, but at least you all would have a

[19:10] document where you can see a living document.

[19:12] » Yeah, that would be nice. >> Sure, we can do that.

[19:16] » Uh, Winterfest review. I spoke with uh I think most supervisors today. There

[19:23] might have been a couple I didn't get to, but I think everything went very

[19:26] well. I got a lot of positive feedback on Winterfest.

[19:31] um you know called uh Denver uh who helped with our lineup and and he he had

[19:36] a great all great things to say. He said he even received some great feedback um

[19:42] with was nice to see all the city workers out and and being around the

[19:46] square and helping and and want to commend Chief Bledsoe and Chief Gibbons

[19:51] for having their guys available to step in and do what was needed. Uh Dusty

[19:56] Shelton helping with parade lineup running rampant. And uh kudos to David

[20:00] Richardson for stepping up and and being the MC all day. Um we won't hire him

[20:06] again next year because he talks too much. [laughter]

[20:09] So u but uh that's his official notice. Um but I think I think Winterfest was

[20:16] was good for my being my first one. Uh, I was well pleased, but would welcome

[20:22] any feedback that any of you have over um Winterfest. If you think there if you

[20:28] noticed anything, now's the time to say it while it's fresh.

[20:30] » Well, I had heard that there was a man and woman that was like

[20:37] a comedy team and they was loving it. >> They loved it.

[20:41] » It was Yeah. You're going to notice, too.

[20:45] » Yep. I mean, they said, "Oh, it was funny."

[20:50] » Yeah. Well, well, I appreciate Dolores and and David doing that. So, they we

[20:54] got a lot of lot of good good comments back. So, appreciate everybody.

[20:58] » How' the fire pits go? >> Uh very very well. Uh my wife and I

[21:02] ventured down and and uh the on Saturday when we got down there, uh there was not

[21:08] a place to sit at the time that we got there. So, um I think they went over

[21:12] very well personally. Um, but

[21:16] » any feedback on what we could have what we can do better next year?

[21:21] » Uh, the only comment that I received was uh and and Bobby I'll give Bobby credit

[21:26] here. We we actually at some point started showing the movie A Christmas

[21:30] Story. Uh, we actually got some comments that said, "Wish you guys would do some

[21:34] movies leading up or during uh on the site. We projected a Christmas story on

[21:39] the side of Matt's building and and it was it it was it was awesome.

[21:44] » And so anyway, so that I mean as far as feedback over I wish you would have done

[21:49] something that I that's really all I've heard

[21:52] » that just came from a good idea that then I thought about it before. Oh yeah,

[21:56] that's cool. We should have done it more. [laughter]

[21:58] » Yeah. and and you know uh this tourism uh person that would be definitely be an

[22:03] idea that's passed along to >> keep keep that up because that that

[22:06] would be something that would go over well throughout the year I think even

[22:10] » roast a hot dog and show the sand lot and

[22:13] » on the square Yep. I know that was something

[22:16] » be kind of neat. >> Only feedback [clears throat] I got was

[22:19] just there seemed to be a lot of last minute changes for the vendors.

[22:23] » Okay. So to have a little bit more I guess streamlined for the vendors. Um

[22:29] and yeah not as many last minute. >> Do do you I mean anything specific on

[22:34] what those last minute comments were? >> Um like

[22:38] especially those who have regularly participated like oh you're not going to

[22:41] enter in here you're you're going to enter over here. And yeah I think it was

[22:45] just a lot of the like logistics. >> Yeah we we tried. So

[22:49] » I can get more specific with the individual I got the feedback from. I I'

[22:53] I'd like to know that because you know something that we tried to do for the

[22:57] vendors this year. I know in the past that they've asked them to be off the

[23:00] square >> by like 4:00 or 4:30 or something like

[23:03] that. We did not make them do that. That was a complaint we had gotten from them.

[23:08] I I say we in the past that had been gotten was u there's not enough time

[23:14] especially since we can't drive onto the square. It's hard to get our booths torn

[23:17] down and carried over. So we actually just asked them to pull back to the

[23:21] sidewalk. Um, so yeah, that would have been a change, I guess, a significant

[23:26] change this year, but >> there seemed to be more positive

[23:28] feedback that that, you know, that some of the changes were definitely improved

[23:32] from last year, but then there were some other just it seemed like there were a

[23:35] lot of last minute >> changes that Yep.

[23:39] » you know, maybe were >> cool,

[23:40] » you know, hard to scramble last minute to the changes. Sure. So,

[23:44] » we have a the Winterfest committee coming Thursday of this week, Thursday

[23:49] morning, and I will make that mention to them.

[23:52] » Yeah. And I'll get some more specifics from the individual I got the feedback

[23:55] from so that I can have something that's outlined a little bit better for you.

[23:59] » So, if you want to shoot me a text or an email, that'd be fine. That way, I'll

[24:02] know. Yep. >> I feel like the lineup process was a lot

[24:04] better this year. >> Uh, that was actually one of the Denver

[24:08] had made that comment of a lot of folks had made that comment of this was

[24:13] perfect. don't change it. So, >> um,

[24:16] » you know, I know you can't please everyone, but that was one where it

[24:19] seemed like we we actually pleased everybody, I think. So, from based on

[24:22] what I heard. So, >> the PA [snorts] system was wonderful.

[24:27] » Great. And thank you to the KO. Is that who that was? That

[24:32] » Yeah. >> Yeah.

[24:33] » Studio C, >> something like that. Yep.

[24:37] Our friend Dwayne Garren recommended them so and found. So,

[24:42] » very good. >> All right. All right. Uh, a couple more

[24:44] things. Uh, FY27 budget. Uh, so I've kind of started in my own little close

[24:51] the door and put some spreadsheets together and start playing with numbers.

[24:55] Uh, because I'm not one that I'm not going to wait until March to put

[24:59] something together and throw something at you [clears throat] in April or May.

[25:01] Um, I'd like to I'm a planner. Uh, I like no surprises. Uh, especially when

[25:07] it comes to dealing with u budget. So, something I'd like to ask. I'd like a

[25:12] favor of this uh u uh council. I would like a couple of council members, and I

[25:20] put in parenthesis here appointed by the mayor probably to begin meeting with me

[25:26] monthly beginning in January. Uh we'll meet January and February, and then

[25:32] we'll go to uh as often as needed in March and April. But what that does, the

[25:39] reason I'm asking for that is so I can start garnering your input now into the

[25:44] budget. So that way when I piece together a what I would consider a rough

[25:49] draft copy, nobody here's surprised and you've

[25:54] had a chance to weigh in on what's important, what what you all your your

[25:59] initiatives that you want to tackle. Um and that allows us also so when we're

[26:04] going through and we have to have changes based on hey we're not seeing

[26:08] this we're not you know we're not going to allocate monies here or we want to

[26:12] allocate more monies over here that comes with your input. So, I I don't

[26:18] know how previous administrations have done

[26:22] things, but um I feel like in my past experience in working for university and

[26:28] for an electric co-op, that's how I've done things and it's been quite

[26:32] successful. And so, if it's not broken, don't fix it. So, I'd like to have your

[26:36] your input. Uh so, I don't know if you want two volunteers or mayor, if you

[26:41] want to appoint somebody, I it's up to you. So if we did that, are you thinking

[26:45] it would be the same couple or few each time or would it kind of rotate or if we

[26:50] let's say if a council member that's not one of those has some they would just

[26:53] tell the representative who is and kind of share correct on behalf of all of us.

[26:56] » Correct. And I really just said a couple that way then it's probably easier for

[27:00] two of you to commit another meeting a month. Uh because I'm I would like for

[27:06] us to meet the first Thursday of every month. uh I meet with my supervisoring

[27:12] staff at 2:00 and we also walk through budget. So this would be a meeting

[27:17] either right before that or right after that meeting

[27:22] to talk through >> not as many but a workshop you know in

[27:25] March or April with everybody >> and and we would we would do that. This

[27:29] is just more for >> these initial the little things to you

[27:32] know >> think of it as extra set of eyes really

[27:36] that's you know really consider it that way is more the more eyes laid on it

[27:42] then that's what I'd like to do but I I don't know if you if you've got two that

[27:45] want to volunteer or mayor you want to appoint I and and if you don't think

[27:49] it's a good idea you can tell me it's not a good idea as well and I'll pivot

[27:53] and find another another option but >> I think it's a great idea volunteers.

[28:02] » I definitely would do it. So, unless somebody else has a burning desire,

[28:07] [clears throat] >> I can always tell.

[28:08] » Yeah. Carolyn's great eyes on the >> dollar. So, I'm I'm hearing Dale and and

[28:14] Jamie and Carolyn. So, I just said two, it could be three. Uh, we have to keep

[28:18] it under that >> four. So that way we're not in we don't

[28:23] go into open session every >> Dale and Jamie

[28:27] and Carolyn

[28:31] » or Dean want do you want to >> No that's fine if they fine no problem.

[28:36] » So first two I can just if one of them can't you know step in or whatever.

[28:44] I'm I'm open to whatever. >> I think it would be nice to have three

[28:47] so that way if if somebody is unable to be there [snorts] for some reason that

[28:52] there's at least two people there. >> Sounds great to me. I think it's good

[28:56] idea. >> And then if there's three that's more

[28:58] the marrier, >> right?

[28:59] » Like you said, more eyes. >> Dale, Jamie, Carolyn, you guys

[29:02] [clears throat] open to it? Good. Yeah. >> All right. Very good. you guys can

[29:06] » the rest of us or >> and then in April I think that's

[29:10] historically what's been done is a kind of a a workshop talking about it

[29:14] » and that way then we'll >> and there might even be and this is

[29:17] something that I think just for personal experience and I know Carolyn's

[29:22] mentioned it before that when you're coming on council as a newly elected

[29:27] official and this is the first time maybe you've ever seen budgets y

[29:31] » I mean your hair's kind of blown back in that

[29:33] » y like budget workshop. So to have even like some one-on-one for any like at

[29:40] least offer it for anybody newly elected.

[29:42] » We can do that >> to go through the budget in a little bit

[29:45] more detail, a little bit more time, a little less pressure than at like a

[29:49] budget workshop. I think that would be something nice and kind of kicking off

[29:53] doing this more intensive budget process with alderman. we can figure out

[29:59] something that would fit for that when we get to the elected time.

[30:04] » I think he's probably planning on presenting it [cough and clears throat]

[30:06] differently. Yeah. >> Too than the the way it had been.

[30:10] » Yeah. It's kind of like here's your budget and you're like, "Oh my gosh."

[30:13] Like I don't even know what I'm looking >> exactly. It's it is it's like you said

[30:19] like your ears blow back when you're learning it for the first time.

[30:21] » Well, I I won't give you a budget that I promise you haven't seen every page at

[30:26] least twice. So you you you deserve that. That's what you should be doing.

[30:31] Keeps me honest and all of us. So that's good. All right. Very good. Grant

[30:35] updates real quick. Street grant, we're on hold till December 15th because I

[30:40] can't select our grant administrator until that day. So really, it's just a

[30:44] hurry up and wait game. Sewer plant CWRG information has been completed. I am

[30:49] waiting on the last form to submit to DNR. We have to do an E-Verify and Sarah

[30:56] and I are try and Dolores are trying to work through that uh wi with DNR, but

[31:01] we've been assigned our project manager. So, I'm working with Claire Wyn uh at

[31:05] DNR. Uh and this is on that clean water engineering report grant where um we

[31:11] would select our engineering firm and and they come in and then do our

[31:16] feasibility, but we're getting grant money to help pay for the engineering

[31:20] feasibility study. Make sense? that that's what we talked about. So

[31:24] » why why are you needing that you verify for part of the selection or

[31:29] » DNR requires that we submit that on behalf? I mean they gave us a stack of

[31:34] papers that are just egregious but anyway it is what it is. So we'll uh we

[31:41] work through it and we do our thing. So um

[31:45] that's all I have unless anybody has questions. I'll be glad to answer

[31:48] anything if I miss something. All right, let's move on to the bills.

[31:54] Need a motion to pay the bills. >> Make a motion.

[31:57] » Brenda made a motion to pay the bills. Any discussion,

[32:03] » Brenda? Oh, she Oh, okay. >> Okay. No questions. Need a second.

[32:10] » Dean second it. Dean, how you vote? >> Yes.
