Votes at a glance: airport grant, lien releases, tourism funding approved by Kennett council
Summary
At the Kennett City Council meeting the council approved several routine items: a partially grant-funded airport project, a lien-release payment plan request, a new policy charging $25 for lien-release recordings, and a $5,000 tourism grant for a local carnival. Each motion passed unanimously as recorded in the meeting transcript.
The Kennett City Council approved several consent and action items during the meeting, including an airport grant authorization, a lien-release payment plan, a new lien-release recording fee policy, and a tourism marketing allocation.
Airport: The council authorized a request for airport work to install four anchors at the airport; staff said the project is partially grant funded and referenced an amount "40,000" loosely in discussion but did not confirm a final city cost in the transcript. The motion to authorize the airport request passed.
Lien release and payment plan: Council considered a request from Carolyn Ellis to pay a lien balance of $3,150 through a payment plan of $50 per month for 63 months for property at 808 North Jackson. The council approved the payment-plan request as presented.
Lien-release policy: The council also approved a policy to charge a $25 recording fee for lien-release requests, reflecting a change in state law discussed by staff that invalidates liens older than three years; staff said the fee covers the recording cost.
Tourism funding: The council approved a tourism committee recommendation to allocate $5,000 from the tourism account (staff said the account has approximately $30,725) to support advertising for the "Houston Falcon Carnival"; the tourism committee recommended the allocation and council approved it.
Other items: City staff reported museum window orders and plaster cleanup will be scheduled and that ribbon-cutting events including a local home health clinic's ribbon event are upcoming. No additional conditions or amounts beyond what is described in the meeting transcript were specified.
