The Warrensburg City Council convened on September 8, 2025, to discuss several key initiatives aimed at improving the community's infrastructure and services. Among the most significant decisions was the approval of an ordinance establishing sewer-based rate charges for the fiscal year 2026. This measure is expected to impact residents' utility bills and ensure the sustainability of the city's sewer services.

In addition to the sewer rate discussion, the council authorized a change order agreement with Advanced Asphalt Paving and Concrete LLC. This agreement will allow for additional milling and overlay work as part of the 2025 street maintenance program. The interim public works director, Phil Adlidge, highlighted the importance of this initiative, noting that it will enhance the condition of major streets throughout Warrensburg, including Young and South Maguire. The total cost for this additional work is now estimated at $626,005, reflecting a $10,000 increase from previous estimates.

The council's decision to expand street maintenance comes after a thorough analysis of the pavement condition index (PCI) and traffic counts, which helped identify the most critical areas in need of repair. This proactive approach aims to improve road safety and accessibility for residents, making Warrensburg a more navigable and attractive place to live.

As the council moves forward with these initiatives, residents can expect to see improvements in both sewer services and road conditions in the coming year. The discussions and decisions made during this meeting reflect the city's commitment to addressing community needs and enhancing the quality of life for its residents.
