The Warrensburg City Council meeting on September 8, 2025, highlighted community engagement through the arts and concluded with a closed session on personnel matters.

During the meeting, a representative from the Arts Commission shared exciting news about a newly received bench crafted from a mulberry tree as part of the Rethink McGuire project. The bench is currently secured at a city facility until a permanent location is determined. The representative expressed enthusiasm for the bench's beauty and its future placement in the community.

Additionally, the council promoted an upcoming event titled "Eat Your Art Out," scheduled for Saturday from 3:30 PM to 5:30 PM at the community center. This free event will feature a silent auction and a live cake sculpting demonstration by UCM alum Mike Elder, who is both a cake sculpturist and a licensed pilot. The council encouraged residents to attend and support the event, noting that the community center's rooms are expected to be fully booked.

The meeting concluded with a motion to enter a closed session to discuss personnel records, as permitted under Missouri law. The council members unanimously approved the motion, indicating a focus on internal matters following the public discussions.

Overall, the meeting underscored the city's commitment to fostering community spirit through artistic initiatives while also addressing important administrative issues.
