The ordinance listed a total appropriation of $454,769.86 with line items including the general fund ($175,321.58), waterworks ($171,499.89), wastewater ($51,908.79), tourism ($13,228.87) and other funds. The council approved the ordinance by motion and roll call; all members present voted yes.

During new business the council took the first reading of an ordinance authorizing renewal of a professional services agreement with Alliance Water Resources Inc. to manage, operate and maintain the city’s water treatment plant. The item appeared in the packet (page 88) and was read on first reading; no final vote was taken at the Sept. 15 meeting and the item will return for further readings as required.

The council also held a second reading of a revised sanitation ordinance (Chapter 21) and the City Attorney described additional language changes and clarifications in that amendment. The attorney said he added language clarifying that certain single-family-dwelling provisions were not retroactive and that the ordinance was intended to reflect existing practice where the city previously permitted some properties without sewer connections. The attorney said the sanitation ordinance will come back for a third reading and a vote on Oct. 6.

City staff and the attorney said changes to the sanitation provisions were intended to protect wastewater services while avoiding retroactive penalties for properties that had city clearance in prior years. The council did not take final action on the sanitation ordinance at the Sept. 15 meeting.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","City Of Boonville, Missouri Council Meeting on September 15, 2025 at 7:00 pm","oneSentenceSummary","Booneville council approved an ordinance appropriating payroll and accounts and held first readings on a water-treatment professional services agreement and a sanitation ordinance (scheduled for third reading Oct. 6); City Attorney clarified edits and non-retroactivity for the sanitation changes.","taxTitle","Boonville, Cooper County, Missouri","taxId",72951,"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},5984640,"Council votes to reintroduce personnel manual for reconsideration Oct. 6 after prior failure to pass",237,2350000,2587000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5764130-8f6309deaaea41195f29ee2d815094f6&start=2350&end=2587","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5764130-8f6309deaaea41195f29ee2d815094f6/thumbnail_2350000.jpg","/articles/5984640/Boonville/Cooper-County/Missouri/Council-votes-to-reintroduce-personnel-manual-for-reconsideration-Oct-6-after-prior-failure-to-pass","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/5984640-549742842d36d580a9bd2d8ad9782075/orig.mp4?Expires=1770735952&Signature=giqwGmydmu10fR3rwHGfiMCayIZdyaft1HM3R3zVmsuG9qhlufa91RrUM50PIbVWITiYtVjYLv9RYPP4JAbng4-fdQEjgQNK~l0J5-PlOLtUUcwkQ9r7TFYKMuJbzzah-5lt7MbZGd4sEVevk1VJ4nzHDK~hlIuj7ylbnmOoA0NXlCew8UbIhJ0H65EtCQuh6IweJigEMnntw0GTV~FWANjXR~xnH7vSck90l4~YiomPA3U1btiuHZeLSLUyrlijGKjBj5QhD1Vhe154AIT4jcv~yNGd9VEVvjeT-YxY6Inbg0bKrx3kBfv7aayVm2ejjxwjl4SdefR4-i0sxcQfqA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Booneville City Council voted Sept. 15 to place the previously considered personnel manual back on the Oct. 6 agenda for reconsideration. The motion, made by a council member during miscellaneous business, was seconded and approved by roll call; all members present voted to reintroduce the document.

City Attorney reviewed options for reintroduction and advised there is no state statute preventing the council from revisiting the proposal. The attorney said the earlier version of the manual included a cross-reference that was moot (a paragraph referring single-family dwellings to another section) and that language changes were made to clarify intent. The attorney also said the manual as revised would not be applied retroactively to property owners or employees who had prior city clearance.

Council members recalled that the manual previously failed to pass at an earlier meeting and discussed the process required to reconsider it. The clerk confirmed that reintroduction would require a first reading at the Oct. 6 meeting and a subsequent second reading for substantive debate and any amendments. City staff said the effective date would be pushed to Nov. 1 if the manual is adopted following readings and any additional changes.

Council members and staff said they would use the first- and second-reading process to address line-item concerns and constituent feedback; the city attorney noted specific legal clarifications would be handled during revision and on the record at the readings.","Council member Drew moved and the council voted to put the previously considered personnel manual (Bill 2025-019) back on the Oct. 6 agenda for first reading; city attorney said the manual must be reintroduced and that the council can address line-item concerns at readings.",{"_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},5984645,"Council approves Second and Vine development agreement; developer gives construction update",296,1140000,1436000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5764130-8f6309deaaea41195f29ee2d815094f6&start=1140&end=1436","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5764130-8f6309deaaea41195f29ee2d815094f6/thumbnail_1140000.jpg","/articles/5984645/Boonville/Cooper-County/Missouri/Council-approves-Second-and-Vine-development-agreement-developer-gives-construction-update","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/5984645-d8d60c9ad7255f05c0e547c1b5525990/orig.mp4?Expires=1770735952&Signature=JEMj3kZO9O-Hhz5gfQLIzvYAUKA7-Mtj6KzyEnQnB9q0m3JPkNLKpeKay5b1qHb~nFShmapxp~y8GEaSZUjiaawjKCJTgtgg~N-9PksC0lV5DXpqUoKycOriBnaUZGmbJR482V57a0tpZ4Axe5qjLFihdYvLD3hgcjfSs-JBBwDL10QcRmZi54Brqha4XkSs4dmlubMOnn5bUuUl9RlBIT8yyGRhg20i6Vll8hBEY8mRqbprlUXNt0M7LTiuVDXO9eBMc5bY~q3FU4yFb65oTNpgGHAYdVRvm7nlsDaBLo0t5dOady1lPlawJNECjcjHqkfcUWWaFJ5eVwjdB6eYUg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Booneville City Council on Sept. 15 approved, on second reading, an ordinance adopting a development agreement for the Second and Vine project (the meeting referenced the “3-53 plan and development agreement”). The council voted yes in roll call on the ordinance after attorneys and the developer answered questions from members.

Mark Grama, the attorney assisting with the documents, and developer Joshua Hartley briefed the council on project status. Hartley said exterior work is about 90% complete, noting a new roof, gutters, exterior painting and a completed mural; he said roughly 248 of 250 windows have been replaced and about 10 exterior trims remain. He reported framing of the third-floor apartments is under way and that mechanical, plumbing and electrical work will proceed after framing and sprinkler coordination.

Hartley gave a preliminary unit count and uses: he said the plan calls for 38-plus residential units and a commercial space. He described approximately three studio units, about 20–22 two-bedroom units and roughly 15 one-bedroom units (developer estimates), and said the project includes an indoor parking garage. Hartley said he would welcome community business ideas for the ground-floor commercial space and that he is seeking tenants.

On affordability and rents, Hartley said he hopes two-bedroom units will not exceed about $1,200 per month and that one-bedroom rents would be under $1,000, but he characterized those figures as estimates driven by construction costs.

Council and staff also discussed tax-abatement structure tied to the project. City staff described the arrangement as “10 at the current level and then 15 at 50% of the new value,” language the developer and staff said was consistent with similar projects the city has approved. City staff said they had not received further comments from taxing entities following the public meeting on the project.

Roll call on the ordinance showed all members present voting yes (Davis, Young, Meadows, Cowherd, Harvill, Albert and Venable). The ordinance was listed in the meeting packet on page 53.

Hartley said sewer and water connections remain to be completed; he reported coordination with the city’s water staff and that sewer and water work would begin after the appropriate scheduled inspections and utility coordination.","The council approved a development agreement for the Second and Vine project (a 3-53 plan) on second reading; developer Joshua Hartley reported progress on exterior work, window replacement and framing of 38-plus apartments and described planned sewer and water connections.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},5984649,"Council hears three bank bids, signals preference for BTC pending federal-rate movement",414,302000,716000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5764130-8f6309deaaea41195f29ee2d815094f6&start=302&end=716","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5764130-8f6309deaaea41195f29ee2d815094f6/thumbnail_302000.jpg","/articles/5984649/Boonville/Cooper-County/Missouri/Council-hears-three-bank-bids-signals-preference-for-BTC-pending-federal-rate-movement","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/5984649-fd497cd5c57d65fa38bab1da780cdc61/orig.mp4?Expires=1770735952&Signature=aByCJdXz6y~x5ViemFxEY2lsOw2oGXqBBDMUdjzStlLRxndtNalTAd2E8vDnDyRKMQydXb17~jKuMNaCyF5J6q1-ySHmIik~hOFuHT9cm3pRbI0BNkU1LFUlF3v8MwM2c1E1PN-L2UBkgyNUI7pSQMgVY2tf8bvIbLI43RHdDwP0sqw1Oaujs1VuIakpwdoS7DcXnc~9FA1Ii-A5J5hobpKLIuPbdWydDjUbMYYVip27Xjast3Mjnk2BHtFc-8H4KmFrlLQyv39LTHHkWfy5FN8ZYuOXyY2E0jq08rZsjev9cu9zYwhoprLvaUyR~v6u778NNmlHUZAIMqaId5vxjg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Booneville City Council heard presentations from three banks on Sept. 15 as it evaluates a new city depository contract. First State Community Bank, Southern Bank and BTC Bank each presented proposals; council members expressed a preliminary preference for BTC Bank’s offer but did not adopt a final contract that night.

Representatives described services and community ties. Corey Field, First State Community Bank branch representative, emphasized the bank’s long-standing local relationship and said the bank can provide remote deposit, positive pay, ACH payroll and an in-house Mastercard credit-card program supported by a local business-services team. Nathan Todd, First State regional business-services support, said First State can meet the city’s service requirements without external partners.

Lonnie McCullough, branch president for Southern Bank, said Southern has a multi-state footprint and local involvement in community activities; Mary Hooser and Anita Pierce described branch operations and community engagement. Southern’s presentation highlighted a larger asset base and local service presence.

Curtis Carter, Booneville market president for BTC Bank, said BTC bases its proposal on the 91-day Treasury bill and described a structure that, at the time of the meeting, equated to a 4.05% yield with a 4.5% ceiling and a 1% floor. Carter also said BTC would provide a $1,000 annual credit to offset the city’s check costs and meet the city’s service requirements with no additional fees.

Council members and staff discussed timing and interest-rate risk tied to a Federal Reserve decision expected the following day. City staff said banks were asked to hold proposals through Dec. 1 and that staff could proceed with a first and second reading in October if the council wanted to finalize a choice. Several council members said BTC’s rate structure appeared to offer the best return to the city on a purely empirical basis; at least three council members voiced support for BTC during discussion.

No formal depository contract was approved at the Sept. 15 meeting. The council directed staff to prepare the ordinance language and to proceed with readings; the city administrator said he would proceed with a first reading and a second reading in October unless a significant rate change after the Fed decision altered the council’s direction.

The selection process will return to the council for formal readings and a vote; staff noted choosing a depository typically requires follow-up administrative steps and, if adopted, a transition period to move accounts and services to the chosen bank.","City staff and three banks presented proposals for the city depository; council members said they favored BTC Bank’s rate structure but postponed a final ordinance because of potential federal-rate movement and a planned first/second-reading schedule.",{"_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},5984654,"Booneville council OKs temporary open-container rules, street closures for Oct. 18 ‘Sip and Stroll’ event",1527,103000,1630000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5764130-8f6309deaaea41195f29ee2d815094f6&start=103&end=1630","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5764130-8f6309deaaea41195f29ee2d815094f6/thumbnail_103000.jpg","/articles/5984654/Boonville/Cooper-County/Missouri/Booneville-council-OKs-temporary-open-container-rules-street-closures-for-Oct-18-Sip-and-Stroll-event","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/5984654-4bb09fee537009aa255132a0427aa6bc/orig.mp4?Expires=1770735952&Signature=IRK1VmNa-UJyJUHCFGi7ODf6kY8D6Fl5YFPvngUh~3O9gp4zC44fgQDj6P~JPgUtV5GEMM4MKZdBgCYZZJAwwvQDzA8m4SWDBWUPKbOjgRguo3Vsowh3UFchkOxEZhRw4BKbY0DluwqFkD13MC1YSkjtBkXAN9m6oV9OkG1KU17exRipemq09iAhoZYf0dEfh-5mHnyD84Gd-wer8v53CNBVlhjUckvSX-RMumnz7u9EoPqhUdFRRBBIWH-hR5Xq5O9FPWOLv8xExzMCFee8-4v-wJ92faf4zhzxg1DCi3nycLwRwNFp~7CghpzoF8GbXx~2PykHLCANyKCgKYHW~Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Booneville City Council voted Sept. 15 to suspend the city’s prohibition on open containers in a defined downtown area and to approve requested street closures for the “Sip and Stroll and Rock and Roll” event on Oct. 18, 2025, allowing alcohol possession and consumption on city sidewalks and streets in the specified area from 12 p.m. to midnight.

The resolution, R-2025-14, says the suspension applies only to the downtown area described in the ordinance’s Exhibit A and does not change city rules on public intoxication, driving under the influence or other related ordinances.

Council members said the action supports an event previously presented to the council by local organizers. Mary Pat, who identified herself as a co-chair of the event, told the council the organizers are seeking the open-container exception for the single day, parking access and some street closures; she said the event will be Oct. 18 and that organizers are recruiting volunteers and working with city crews and staff.

The written resolution included background that the Chamber of Commerce and the Booneslick Regional Library had reviewed the event and that Article 6, Section 14-90 of the Booneville City Code normally prohibits consumption of alcoholic beverages on the city right-of-way. The resolution explicitly suspends that prohibition within the downtown event area during the hours specified.

The council approved the resolution by roll call vote; all members present voted yes (Davis, Young, Meadows, Cowherd, Harvill, Albert and Venable). The resolution also authorizes the specific street closures listed in Exhibit A.

Organizers earlier in the meeting described outreach to vendors and local promotion; Mary Pat and Syd Herlberg said they circulated a preliminary flyer and a news release and invited council members to attend. The organizers said they are coordinating volunteers and thanked city staff and crews for assistance.

The council also separately approved, earlier in the meeting, a street-closure request for a different event scheduled Oct. 4 (use of the Haines House parking lot and Vine Street from Main to Fourth from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.).

The council did not change any other liquor rules and left law-enforcement statutes on intoxication and driving under the influence in place.","The City Council on Sept. 15 approved a resolution temporarily suspending the city’s open-container ban and authorizing downtown street closures for a Chamber/Library-backed event on Oct. 18, 2025; organizers said they will recruit volunteers and coordinate with city staff.","actionData","errors"]
