Hanson said gathering “people at the table would be very helpful” for the housing task force. The announcement was presented as a public call for participation rather than a council action; no vote or directive accompanied the remark.

Hanson also promoted the city’s 10th annual I Can Bike camp, asking for volunteers next week at the YMCA. “It's gonna be at the YMCA, Monday through Bridal, and come and stay all day. It's lots of fun,” she said. Another councilmember added support for the program, praising Nancy for her work: “It's an amazing program, and Nancy's done an outstanding job in it over the years.”

The announcements were informational; no formal motions, budget allocations or staffing assignments were recorded in the meeting transcript for either item. Residents interested in participating or volunteering were asked to show up at the stated times and locations.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","June 10, 2025 Fulton City Council Meeting","oneSentenceSummary","Councilwoman Hanson announced a Callaway County Housing Task Force meeting at the community center and requested volunteers for the city’s I Can Bike camp at the YMCA next week.","taxTitle","Fulton City, Callaway County, Missouri","taxId",72516,"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},6206411,"Fulton City utility staff report multiple outages after lightning strike; antenna replacement expected in July",56,15455,71875,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3762834-3433c5569cc75d433541ce3f41bd02b4&start=15&end=71","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3762834-3433c5569cc75d433541ce3f41bd02b4/thumbnail_15455.jpg","/articles/6206411/Fulton-City/Callaway-County/Missouri/Fulton-City-utility-staff-report-multiple-outages-after-lightning-strike-antenna-replacement-expected-in-July","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6206411-064b26cdb9ce81edf1544e4ecfbd1b59/orig.mp4?Expires=1771202583&Signature=JnRTIugUXuADhAxFoeNULBoR910~4A60tAKHbSeAGXU~TJkdKzuZjC5TpfrW6eHkZfMummKGFIhrM9FK9lQBMRmJjs4O5scV4Vvo2gzLQ-E9DtbpBu6GufNwJ6JSOJMTiWmQ6US0VyeSuQivrNtco1zlI~ybj8FlxPdrkbqoVXH3R7Ac5Oc2JhxW1xctf6sbtHJOdsaSq9zCr41pVTJ5-cd~3dvSXvwTt7D~KSqMbEtawjmmVFNr51qXFe1l0Tk8VIvwBOE2tIu8V5KLRoEHJzN~n5I7j9IpcscQ1L44DvlhRoh-tQBZzulknqkQC26X5qWvDwKn9GMKaUbSYiV1kA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Fulton City utility staff on the council meeting update said a lightning strike damaged an antenna and other equipment, contributing to multiple outages across the city and requiring manual meter readings until a replacement arrives around July.

Staff said the damage to the antenna is expected to cost between $30,000 and $50,000 and that an insurance claim has been started. “It's gonna be, it's between 30 and $50,000 worth of damage, is what we took on it,” a utility staff member said. The same staff member said a lightning arrestor on the tank cable operated as designed: “There was a lightning arrestor on the cable that comes down the tank, and it did blow like it should have.”

The nut of the update: the city is continuing manual meter reads and targeted repairs while waiting for parts and equipment. Staff said parts remain difficult to obtain and an antenna expected in July should allow the automated readings to resume.

In explaining the recent outages, staff listed multiple causes: high winds and snow on 3/5 that produced 50 mph-plus winds; heavy storms on 04/20 that tripped breakers at the power plant and dropped a substation; a breaker malfunction on 04/25 that briefly left a hotel without power; a raccoon that triggered a breaker and cut power to downtown and northeastern circuits; and a face-to-ground fault on route 65. Staff also said settings on a new breaker at Columbia were too sensitive and have since been adjusted.

Staff described geographic patterns of outages, saying the northeast part of town experienced the most interruptions and that was due to location rather than systemic condition: “So the Northeast part of town has experienced the most outages, just because of their location, not anything to do with the condition of the system in that area,” the staff member said.

Council and staff also discussed customer billing concerns tied to service interruptions. Finance staff encouraged customers to consider levelized billing for predictable monthly payments and explained the eligibility requirement: “You do have to be in your residence for at least a year in order for them to have the data to properly do that,” a finance department representative said. Staff also noted the city partners with CMCA for emergency energy-assistance referrals.

No formal council action or vote was taken during the update; staff presented the operational summary and said repairs and replacements are underway. Utility staff said they will continue manual reads and follow up with insurance and parts vendors as available.","City utility staff said a lightning strike damaged an antenna and other equipment, contributing to multiple outages; staff said they are reading meters manually until the antenna arrives and encouraged levelized billing and assistance options for customers.","actionData","errors"]
