The City of Oak Grove Board of Aldermen held a meeting on September 15, 2025, where key discussions centered on the establishment of the property tax levy for the upcoming year and the disposal of city records.

During the meeting, city staff presented information regarding the property tax rates for 2025. Homeowners in Oak Grove can expect to pay approximately $436 annually in property taxes, which contributes to about 14% of the general fund budget and 80% of the debt service budget. Following the presentation, a public hearing was opened for community input on the tax rates; however, no comments were received from the public.

The board proceeded to discuss Bill Number 25-15, which pertains to the ordinance establishing the tax levy for all properties within the city limits for 2025. The board unanimously approved the first and second readings of the bill by title only, followed by a motion for adoption. The ordinance was adopted, becoming Ordinance Number 2141.

In addition to the tax levy discussion, the board addressed a resolution authorizing the city clerk to dispose of certain records that have met the required retention schedule. This resolution was also approved unanimously, allowing city staff to oversee the disposal process in compliance with Missouri statutes.

Overall, the meeting focused on important fiscal decisions for the city, ensuring that the tax levy is set for the coming year and that city records are managed according to legal requirements.
