Lucas Richardson, vice chair of Sedalia Main Streets, presented the organization's budget for the coming year. Richardson said planned expenditures total $158,102 and outlined categories including ground maintenance ($1,500), a new façade program, pavilion restroom work anticipated in 2026, alley activation signs and benches, murals and special events such as Thanksgiving fireworks, a Scott Joplin event, a criterium bicycle race, First Thursdays and quarterly business mixers. Richardson told the council the organization's current balance is $195,903 and that anticipated current revenue and expenditures for the next year are $106,610. He also reported tax revenue of $42,170 for 2025 and an anticipated $42,049 for 2026; other expected revenue sources include grants, fees and interest.

Staff recommended renewing the city's participation in the Missouri Main Street Connection program, saying the partnership offers expert guidance, training and statewide resources to support downtown revitalization. The council approved Bill 2025-100, the ordinance authorizing the 2025 Main Street program agreement, by roll call (six yes, one absent).

Supporters said the program helps strengthen local businesses, attract investment and preserve the downtown's historic character. The meeting record does not list conditions or additional funding commitments beyond the contract approval.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","0602 2025 City Council Meeting","oneSentenceSummary","The council approved the 2025 annual Main Street program agreement with Missouri Main Street Connection and received Sedalia Main Streets' annual budget presentation.","taxTitle","Sedalia, Pettis County, Missouri","taxId",54293,"location","headline","shortSummary",{"_33":75,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":76,"_41":77,"_43":78,"_45":79,"_47":80,"_49":81,"_51":82,"_53":83,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":84,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":85,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":56,"_73":56},6200848,"Sedalia council fails to extend dispensary hours; vote stalls at 5-yes, one abstention",105,1295000,1400000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3805612-a091a6af395c3f3a60e8179451192659&start=1295&end=1400","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3805612-a091a6af395c3f3a60e8179451192659/thumbnail_1295000.jpg","/articles/6200848/Sedalia/Pettis-County/Missouri/Sedalia-council-fails-to-extend-dispensary-hours-vote-stalls-at-5-yes-one-abstention","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6200848-8feb6d8eba5bf817351eec6fe5f1cdb4/orig.mp4?Expires=1770440117&Signature=adlRrBBHj5797RbvKLt4Yks6FiZhOEkZU~K3kt8-mnfhbxidEgNKgZU42gPKNW5BWwn1kJ2XN3wSJGcqp76TRaUurrY1x44PwiMEOmyKpxFAGtTm~9L2X9eAKe6nSOqJo9EHmqiXXjvCtDWePQfoR0yivruqSza0i3gKcEYxl8p3o4eyQtc6JF7aj95DRURwcY7B2HqLZg8k4ueBJdw~AcxVm7uxn8Hb7BBHm7yILBPd~RqyeMw1Nw6UNMLDYWuttWoQS8eMvFEX0r7IcVty4zrhZocBrMJ7phcAMtfaKxcDHq4mSMyfUrU5o2pNg3KuYymjJb21fm3Mt7xSekOa7w__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The City of Sedalia on June 2 considered and ultimately did not pass an ordinance to amend city code to extend operating hours for marijuana dispensaries from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m.

City staff presented an amendment described as revising \"Chapter 12.6.10\" of the city code to allow dispensaries to remain open until 10 p.m., a change staff said was intended to align local operating hours with demand and practices elsewhere in Missouri. The council moved the ordinance (Bill 2025-101) to a final vote but it failed because it did not receive the six affirmative votes the city requires for passage.

Roll-call votes recorded Foster (yes), Franklin (yes), Robinson (yes), Boggess (yes), Cross (yes), Hiller (abstain) and Scribner (absent). The mayor pro tem stated the bill \"fails because we don't have 6.\" The meeting record shows the final tally as five yes, one abstain and one absent.

During public comment, Jason Unwin, who identified himself as a Coal Camp resident and former law enforcement officer, urged the council to limit legal access to cannabis and raised concerns about public-safety and social impacts he associated with broader legalization. \"Just because it's legal doesn't make it right,\" Unwin said. He cited drug-related incidents and concerns about increased homelessness and public-safety demands in other states that legalized cannabis.

No procedural amendments or substitute motions were recorded during the vote. The ordinance therefore failed; no changes to the city code were made at the meeting.","The council voted on an ordinance to extend marijuana dispensary hours from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m.; the measure failed after a 5-yes, 1-abstain, 1-absent roll call — short of the six votes required for passage.",{"_33":87,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":88,"_41":89,"_43":90,"_45":91,"_47":92,"_49":93,"_51":94,"_53":95,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":96,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":97,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":56,"_73":56},6200853,"Sedalia council approves coordinated purchase of loaders, trucks and sewer change order to maintain city services",498,448000,946000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3805612-a091a6af395c3f3a60e8179451192659&start=448&end=946","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3805612-a091a6af395c3f3a60e8179451192659/thumbnail_448000.jpg","/articles/6200853/Sedalia/Pettis-County/Missouri/Sedalia-council-approves-coordinated-purchase-of-loaders-trucks-and-sewer-change-order-to-maintain-city-services","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6200853-0fd74d3fe2220bc9b7e1cd71459895db/orig.mp4?Expires=1770440117&Signature=Gab9XoYJHh2FblJTlQ~mRvytkJCMN3i9xmphmL6jB6ixMgYaeiDB1NKxZSQU8F2c30q5b7XLpRG53FbNipL1RUEWKi9DLE~N5vf9-lhI6-EIy8cDnTegbbZeojpALFvIaLx1IjTg7AU81k5Xwt~tNz-0vOuU1XFyZX~c21RsA4MHn6KPbZ7Aw9T2PlQsUI2BdLBje1NplZ5JP6IzCqDfWEw4yx95Egb0I~hELc-Vy5tt6TMUK4FD2cUeY1itBmx8f-yPsaT3pBp50ELba2wiBUEIByWwGP46UD~h~3miUj-p9Y9gAngwW-QjE4K-fzkty2Cf9AlcDbprtzONppMkcQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Sedalia City Council on June 2 approved multiple equipment and vehicle purchases and a contract change order intended to keep city services running and reduce future costs.

Council members voted to accept a SourceWell cooperative quote and purchase a Volvo L70H wheel loader for the Water Pollution Control Division after staff said the truck will replace a machine with more than 17,000 hours of service. The council approved the purchase at a net cost of $204,345 after a 43.6% discount off the list price ($236,345) and a $32,000 trade-in credit; the acquisition includes a five-year, 6,000-hour warranty, staff said.

Staff also presented a Caterpillar lease buyout offer for a previously leased CAT 926M wheel loader. Caterpillar Financial offered a lease buyout price of $72,975; staff proposed using funds allocated for remaining lease payments and savings from the Volvo purchase to fund the buyout, saying the purchase is expected to save the city about $27,500 annually over the machine's remaining service life. Council approved the buyout.

Separately the council accepted the low bid from W.K. Chevrolet of Sedalia for a 2025 Chevrolet 3500 4x4 service truck for the Water Pollution Control Division at $67,521, a figure staff said is below the budgeted amount.

Public Works also presented change order number 1 for the 2024-0009 Sedalia Small Sanitary Sewer Project A, reporting a finalized unit quantity for base rock that produced a net decrease of $103,795 to the original contract. That change reduces the project total from $411,664 to $307,869. The council approved the change order.

Finally, the council approved coordinated purchases for the Public Works Operation and Utility Divisions for five vehicles: two single-axle plow trucks ($528,338.89 total), two multifunction tandem trucks with hook-lift systems ($607,220), and a tandem-axle dump truck for utilities (chassis $160,414 and bed $53,725, total $214,139). Staff said the number of requested units was reduced to help offset higher-than-budgeted costs elsewhere; the purchases will be procured through cooperative contracts with MoDOT and Missouri Buys and the recommended vendors were Premier Truck Group and Henderson Products Incorporated.

Councilmembers cast roll-call votes on each ordinance. Bills authorizing the Volvo loader (Bill 2025-95), the Caterpillar buyout (Bill 2025-96), the Chevrolet service truck (Bill 2025-97), the sewer project change order (Bill 2025-98), and the street/water vehicle purchases (Bill 2025-99) were approved by majority roll-call votes (each recorded as six yes votes with one absence when noted). The meeting record shows Scribner absent for several items.

The council discussion and staff presentation emphasized that the loader replacement, buyout and vehicle purchases were included in the fiscal 2026 budget or would be funded from lease-savings and existing allocations. Staff also noted the Volvo's onboard material-weighing capability would delay the need for a separate drive-on scale, improving compost-site efficiency.

The council approved the purchases and change order during the regular meeting; staff recommended proceeding to finalize contracts and deliveries.","At its June 2 meeting the Sedalia City Council approved several equipment and vehicle purchases, plus a cost-decreasing change order on a sewer project, citing budgeted funds and expected operational savings.","actionData","errors"]
