He described regular congestion when Truman is in session and said students parking on both sides of a short street create a hazard for drivers and emergency vehicles.

Janssen suggested two possible measures: striping parking spaces in front of Detwiler Park to signal available parking, and allowing one-side curb parking on McPherson to maintain a clear travel lane while preserving emergency vehicle access. “The biggest thing that scares me is people whipping off of 35 mile per hour Jefferson Street onto this tiny little like bottleneck Florence without realizing that there are going to be parked cars surrounding them,” he said.

A council member advised Janssen to email the public-works director, city engineer and police chief so staff can evaluate the traffic and parking request. City staff indicated engineering and traffic study are the appropriate next steps rather than immediate policy changes from the council.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Kirksville City Council Meeting 5-5-25","oneSentenceSummary","A resident described repeat traffic bottlenecks and fender benders on the narrow block between McPherson and Jefferson near Detwiler Park and asked the council to consider parking-striping or one-side parking to reduce conflicts.","taxTitle","Kirksville, Adair County, Missouri","taxId",63870,"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},6248374,"Resident questions $250 permit fee for prefab buildings, urges code review",169,1691000,1860000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3211196-612881ef8934329119968f2353b81336&start=1691&end=1860","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3211196-612881ef8934329119968f2353b81336/thumbnail_1691000.jpg","/articles/6248374/Kirksville/Adair-County/Missouri/Resident-questions-250-permit-fee-for-prefab-buildings-urges-code-review","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6248374-cfd5662135f3ecf352d5bd9b5606204c/orig.mp4?Expires=1771204320&Signature=Uke6u5JOoGWy8qmP1cUkmT2oFwFEiyZgxAVEQvivErD2CDKFDtCtog8cI8vgIUmD2I5nybOccqQPDu6aglv2C4pRCbcnxP9IrQ809S2XDyptB4o064dFLvjGVIs7Z6BODVKuNJ6-j1OqVSMl8C66caQ6gbtKKrdCMPGsc3eI4IjnzV05wId9Txe9uC12FqZyC9PV9n2ez97HSigSoDqFfyYZlkKVDapUcE2MkPD4fmt0qGun65FID6cym53GcUwzhAI63eGjfHkAQXhnLeGv4KY~B56phHECF~Oe4GOkKrFltPd0s7sqzUYD~VjIrLRAW581F0oy~v2OYCjle8ItGg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","At the public-comment segment of the Kirksville City Council meeting, resident Steve Montgomery said he received a letter in April requiring a $250 permit to place a prefab building on his property and asked the council to review the city code.

“I called Codes to find out what the problem was. They said I owed them $250 for a permit to place a building on my property that is on skids that if I move, it will be picked up and moved,” Montgomery said.

Montgomery argued the rule may be applied inconsistently and asked whether public structures such as gazebos and park buildings receive similar permitting treatment. He also noted he uses raised garden totes in his backyard because of mobility concerns for his 76-year-old wife and asked the city to consider reasonable accommodations.

Councilmembers and staff acknowledged the concern and advised that code and permitting questions are handled through the city’s codes department; no formal change to city code was proposed during the meeting.","A Kirksville resident told the council he received a city letter requiring a $250 permit for placing a prefabricated building on skids and urged the council to review code exemptions and parity for public structures.",{"_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},6248380,"Resident urges council to address vacant houses, drug activity and evictions",62,1604000,1666000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3211196-612881ef8934329119968f2353b81336&start=1604&end=1666","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3211196-612881ef8934329119968f2353b81336/thumbnail_1604000.jpg","/articles/6248380/Kirksville/Adair-County/Missouri/Resident-urges-council-to-address-vacant-houses-drug-activity-and-evictions","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6248380-81cbce015b50c11cc02726676fa46405/orig.mp4?Expires=1771204320&Signature=gCIHhAddsWPI6w2b9BLmg5GqA8UBxUwc8HutEu6q3Q6RE-ZsuuE0QczsTpxgXuw58qktf7FLKMeKz460GKdLcm-dz-b7L~M348WE~pvw12JLKhZ8~D044PepO73MYXshNpunuVXUZTvQ1mHquTRrQYywZH86jIVSJTkugofOdzPQ8dKLWa-kvBYgCGerrYkAiDtEkTXkOn63K23Bu~0Swz8dfwX8hAPO3Ar5MLQ1Gc1s1hKZ6JlOwx4FASc18t38YcFCONoO4sFTuERSWV5G9WLz8Gjgmd4qKeC8mk130LgUyiG3yTbh3gK4mDeQuWOWKXeNEAkI569qNLQSaKzmuQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","During public comment at the Kirksville City Council meeting, Maggie Snyder told the council she is seeing houses in her neighborhood boarded up and torn apart and urged faster action from city government.

Snyder added she is concerned about drug dealing near the properties and described recent evictions affecting family members.

Council did not take immediate action during the meeting on the issues Snyder raised.

The council also appointed Suzanne Janke to the Kirksville Housing Authority to fill a vacancy.

Mary Maycomb told the council she had discussed the E911 appointment with council members and would replace Don Crosby, who retired. “This is a board of representatives from all of the emergency services organizations,” Maycomb said, explaining the role is an interagency panel rather than a council advisory board.

On the TIF commission, Maycomb said most substantive TIF decisions have already been made and that her appointment is intended to ensure state reporting and closeout of outstanding matters. Council discussion noted one TIF has expired and another remains in place; during the exchange Maycomb indicated the remaining TIF is not expected to terminate until about 2033.

For the Kirksville Housing Authority seat, Maycomb told the council Edna Whitlock resigned the board after moving outside city limits and that state law requires municipal appointment to housing authority boards. Suzanne Janke was presented as the selected candidate; the council approved the appointment.

Each appointment was moved and seconded from the dais and approved by voice vote. Council did not record a detailed roll-call tally for these votes in the public portion of the meeting.","The council appointed City Manager Mary Maycomb to the Adair County E911 Joint Services Board and to the Tax Increment Financing (TIF) Commission, and approved Suzanne Janke to the Kirksville Housing Authority board for the remainder of a four-year term.",{"_33":112,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":113,"_41":114,"_43":115,"_45":116,"_47":117,"_49":118,"_51":119,"_53":120,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":121,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":122,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6248388,"Kirksville council OKs state grant, awards $82,930 airfield remarking bid",308,950000,1258000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3211196-612881ef8934329119968f2353b81336&start=950&end=1258","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3211196-612881ef8934329119968f2353b81336/thumbnail_950000.jpg","/articles/6248388/Kirksville/Adair-County/Missouri/Kirksville-council-OKs-state-grant-awards-82930-airfield-remarking-bid","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6248388-2c61560ba43eaa17fbf76896d839fa5a/orig.mp4?Expires=1771204320&Signature=aIvdvbn9UG8zA97mLGsNbBheT75iEInhWacpj88TX0lwZAbzXJVbSTRkJqJtJALU2kCFrVhbPSrol7bO7OQjgvRg1xQYs3RVi51DGnGLcIoqMSWxJnEyIB9SUJI6o~E-Tx~qj-WuNehKDR3W~q306vu38NOL9ZTapZhpP17jZUsXyH309fJIs9BqR6gmSJnGXNV1GFRHTLMsBodstiPoJJZiACHkEfe2fIEFbFh2Dlu-eq22Gpn1e54YsGWqVvtFF~aB8GblfzEIjnG9p34fldjmjyK9XFpaHPQw5R1RaUbfyw4g0EamrepxiCjzlf7O26JbJ76VXcp31WQpWegRlA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Kirksville City Council on Monday authorized the city manager to execute a state block grant agreement with the Missouri Highway and Transportation Commission to fund a runway remarking project at the Kirksville Regional Airport and approved a $82,930.10 bid to Highlight Airfield Services LLC for the work.

The action will use federal aviation entitlement and infrastructure funding to remove rubber buildup and repaint runway markings. “Our paint markings have began to deteriorate. They must be maintained to federal airline regulations to to ensure safe use of the facility,” Jeff Littleton, airport director, told the council.

Littleton said the project will be funded with a combination of 2021 and 2022 nonprimary entitlement funds and pass-through funds from the 2022 bipartisan infrastructure legislation. The bid from Highlight Airfield Services was $82,930.10; the grant will cover $82,500 and the city is responsible for up to $2,500. City staff said those local match funds are included in budget line 28787107160.

The council heard that the airport was last fully remarking and repainting during the 2022 runway rehabilitation and that FAA guidance — cited during the presentation as FAA Advisory Circular AC 150-5340 — recommends timely maintenance of markings because rubber buildup and heavier aircraft can reduce nighttime reflectivity and visual cues used by pilots.

Council members moved and seconded the two resolutions and voted to approve both the grant authorization and the bid award. No detailed roll-call vote was recorded in the meeting minutes for these items; the meeting record shows the motions were approved by voice vote.

City staff did not provide a firm start date in the council discussion; the airport director said the grant agreement is being presented to the state and the project planning and coordination will follow once the agreement is executed.","The Kirksville City Council authorized the city manager to execute a state block grant agreement to fund runway remarking at Kirksville Regional Airport and approved a $82,930.10 bid from Highlight Airfield Services; the grant will cover most costs with a city match of up to $2,500.","actionData","errors"]
