At the meeting a festival organizer requested closing a portion of Second Street (from Bering Street) near 124 North Mill and obtaining a temporary liquor license to serve a small, members-only liquor booth. \"I'm not sure how we work with our the city's vendor for lawn care services for that park, but if we could maybe have that on the schedule to get that cut within a relatively quick close time to that,\" the applicant said, requesting help with park maintenance scheduling for the event.

Police and fire officials present raised no objections. The motion to approve the festival request and temporary liquor license was made and seconded and carried by unanimous voice vote.

Separately, Michelle Hoemeyer, representing Festus Main Street Association (formerly Historic Heidelberg), described the Art Walk plans: artists on the south side of the street, a food court east of Adams, three or four musical areas, and coordination with nearby churches and businesses to preserve access for elderly or handicapped attendees. Hoemeyer said event organizers coordinated with business owners and would leave specific parking spaces open for churchgoers; the council approved the Art Walk request by voice vote.

Both approvals were recorded as council actions with no recorded opposition. Staff and organizers will continue event planning, including coordination with police, fire, and parks maintenance.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","City of Festus City Council Meeting 03242025","oneSentenceSummary","The council approved a temporary liquor license and street closure for the fifth annual festival (recorded as Cigarblatt/Cyberblot) on April 26, 2025, and approved the annual Art Walk for May 4, 2025, with event set-up and accessibility accommodations discussed.","taxTitle","Festus, Jefferson County, Missouri","taxId",72583,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6106798,"Council approves change order with Jokers Paving to repair failed retaining wall on North Mill Street (Bill 48-12)",458,1032000,1490000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2779393-bccc5b6aa5c6a6619fba37f088c4d8cf&start=1032&end=1490","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2779393-bccc5b6aa5c6a6619fba37f088c4d8cf/thumbnail_1032000.jpg","/articles/6106798/Festus/Jefferson-County/Missouri/Council-approves-change-order-with-Jokers-Paving-to-repair-failed-retaining-wall-on-North-Mill-Street-Bill-48-12","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6106798-5af2674f63410b91533d1f8e6c4e9e0c/orig.mp4?Expires=1771190780&Signature=BAzP7hXEbQ6UT2LtOISzSRtT~XdNyzv1SynSP3nwtiQeeGk9GCJH~lC7wFaF~D3DJc-~T2yjTajVfqE61fya-Qoj~IvFweQ~ANdep6d2MHvOIDtgMUrKv7DrBwAW6y1SWk4CPArMNtLi7ITmOHH7fEBprFFlylsLehR6fqVc5GJYXi693RbGQPJJssYklkzPIY-lVkflfut1N~ZvPcxZOUa~jk-sb~Ftx-aFzCVPsgAf-f3U5C7F5JN6B5l1vPydRNO5Uq8M9x99HCBCVokvePPF18CXxX07ufrIHQ8ZDdBldYjhnWQmuIru65rS4Li5TVt9EoLFpBHuv3cn8PRtUA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Festus City Council adopted Bill 48-12 to authorize a change order with Jokers Paving and Contracting for repair of a failed retaining wall in front of 119 North Mill Street as part of the North Mill Street improvements project.

Staff told the council the wall failed and is within the city right-of-way; replacing it requires tearing up adjacent sidewalk and street and is therefore proposed as a change order to the existing North Mill Street contract. \"The retaining wall located in front of 119 North Mill Street has failed and is in need of repair,\" a staff member said, adding that including the repair as a change order avoids the longer MoDOT approval process that would be required if handled separately.

Council members asked about inspecting the adjacent house foundation and whether future liability would remain with the city. Staff said the city could pursue pre-construction inspection services to document existing conditions and confirmed the wall and right-of-way remain city responsibility after reconstruction. Staff also reported that water main and gas work in the corridor have been addressed, and Spire (gas) work would be finished before the North Mill project begins in April.

The council suspended rules, read Bill 48-12 on second reading and approved it by roll call. The ordinance authorizes the mayor to execute the change order and incorporates related contract documents into the ordinance.","Festus approved Bill 48-12, authorizing the mayor to execute a contract change order with Jokers Paving and Contracting to repair a failed retaining wall in the North Mill Street improvement project.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6106802,"Festus council approves annexation ordinance (Bill 48-11) for three Scenic Drive lots",475,811000,1286000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2779393-bccc5b6aa5c6a6619fba37f088c4d8cf&start=811&end=1286","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2779393-bccc5b6aa5c6a6619fba37f088c4d8cf/thumbnail_811000.jpg","/articles/6106802/Festus/Jefferson-County/Missouri/Festus-council-approves-annexation-ordinance-Bill-48-11-for-three-Scenic-Drive-lots","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6106802-2f823d6bc66fec216b2228ca9061372a/orig.mp4?Expires=1771190780&Signature=iMRBD6XBDcL7MKKcfbn8Anvnpg7pBeg4FjTkSjrET7NTl2ryqGvW3c36RoYcXRFTh0d07RATSTY0Wy5leIRT2On2WmAn-TXaT3tzw1bFdf2iclVcKEsexdNOUGU6JaRai0BecpBYTIxu8nv8~v6HlJf0r5buRFc7cWoGMeUXbbuh1zKcOU0TZOP23DE4PxBJ25IRXKlrQ0bidloPGHnj1QUWct61LbDVpoXHX6Y-KRy7SKWqsJpZB-DmaiOVPpnxJDXeY6keggHbcQAnPtJ4HUQkG-b0FKoJWmTz5ClK4vjjORW3xW37v5pU5TrgES3ZuwHZFRHHBwqJov43fdTk3Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Festus City Council passed Bill 48-11, an ordinance annexing three parcels along Scenic Drive into the city and extending the city boundary to accommodate future residential development.

City staff reported that the owners of three lots on Scenic Drive requested annexation; the lots are on the left side of the road heading north and are intended to be combined to build homes. \"We were approached by the respective property owners, the 3 lots on scenic,\" a staff member said during the staff report, adding the properties lie just outside current city limits.

Council members asked clarifying questions about location and existing clearing at the site. Staff confirmed the parcels are adjacent to a development where woods are being cleared and said the annexation is a standard process to permit future construction within the city limits.

The council suspended rules to read the ordinance a second time and voted to adopt Bill 48-11. The ordinance states the city has the ability to furnish normal municipal services to the area to be annexed and specifies the new city boundary lines in the ordinance text.

The annexation was adopted by roll call; council members recorded \"yes\" votes on second reading and the mayor declared Bill 48-11 passed. The ordinance will take effect as specified in its text.","The City Council read Bill 48-11 on annexation and approved the ordinance to annex three lots on Scenic Drive to allow residential development within city limits.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6106805,"Festus council approves $50,000 for mobile restroom at Redbone Red Barn project",214,585000,799000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2779393-bccc5b6aa5c6a6619fba37f088c4d8cf&start=585&end=799","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2779393-bccc5b6aa5c6a6619fba37f088c4d8cf/thumbnail_585000.jpg","/articles/6106805/Festus/Jefferson-County/Missouri/Festus-council-approves-50000-for-mobile-restroom-at-Redbone-Red-Barn-project","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6106805-9a12fe060220181ce81bf2ee42329bd1/orig.mp4?Expires=1771190780&Signature=EHc-1tYpiph9-PICkeWOyebH-RZVM-ditZ93Fsz6BI4ClcMtgKhHmDuiRuOkgUVOkjlA-JfdMBFNAdywCU9pGWtpnNHgSEZcs83RHSFCPqKUoNfF5TAWdTOcT6trat4TAB6qmh8-EkrHqu8qooy5H-nwRXlmWDndinD9eGJkIe8UloSH7AwzdhNrw9mmsV394OClJ4rSMYvp09r5ScXNajXL0tpSsQf37Pe7OO03NOLFKgoMwlRYVwio8VE54ZUsFSHuwrtjQNn~QZhHj-MlpJSmpdTPHicKOtgKQzGkphn0T8AstJAXX7n~NVyIk4otuzv4mRjg33aAFyojVqRyOQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Festus City Council voted to approve up to $50,000 for the purchase and setup of a mobile restroom facility for the Redbone Red Barn project.

The purchase, approved by roll call, covers the unit, delivery and setup; city staff said ongoing pumping and routine maintenance would be contracted separately. \"Delivery and setup was included in that pricing,\" a Parks Department staff member told the council, and recommended setting a $50,000 authorization \"just for anything that may come up.\"

Council members asked whether the unit would meet ADA requirements and how maintenance would be handled; the staff member said the facility would be accessible via ADA-compliant sidewalks across the drive to the barn and that the city would contract out pumping services. The staff member also said the city intends to standardize portable restroom providers across parks and events rather than rely on multiple vendors.

The motion to approve the $50,000 authorization was made and seconded and passed by roll call; multiple council members voted \"aye.\" The council did not record a named mover or seconder in the transcript.

The council directed staff to pursue a separate bid or contract for ongoing pumping and cleaning services and to return any contract recommendations to the council as appropriate. The city will incorporate the restroom work into the overall Redbone Red Barn event and venue plan.

Council action on the purchase came during the meeting's bids section, after introductory remarks about the barn project and before two ordinances the council read and approved on first and second reading.","The Festus City Council voted to purchase a mobile restroom unit and authorize up to $50,000 for the Redbone Red Barn venue, with the city to arrange ongoing pumping and maintenance contracts.","actionData","errors"]
