Cape Girardeau council: votes at a glance — April 7, 2025
Summary
Council approved a set of consent items, extended a TIF reimbursement deadline, authorized trail easements and a property conveyance, and made several board appointments. The rezoning request for two North Silver Springs Road lots failed.
The City Council held several votes April 7. Major outcomes are summarized below.
Votes at a glance
- Bill 25‑31, Bill 25‑32, Bill 25‑33 (Consent agenda): Resolutions authorizing performance guarantee agreements for private sidewalk improvements (Tallahassee Phase 5 and Lomack East Third subdivision) and a contract with Apex Paving for the 2025 asphalt overlay program — approved as part of the consent agenda.
- Bill 25‑34 (Redevelopment agreement amendment): Ordinance approving a first amendment to a redevelopment agreement (TIF) to extend the developer’s deadline to submit reimbursable project costs to June 30, 2025 — approved. City staff clarified this extends the deadline for documentation of costs; it does not represent a cash payment from the city.
- Bill 25‑35 (Zoning, 1918 North Kings Highway): Ordinance rezoning property at 1918 North Kings Highway from C‑2 (Highway Commercial) to NC (Neighborhood Commercial) — first reading approved; transcript indicates council approved the ordinance at first reading with no recorded public opposition.
- Bill 25‑36 (Zoning, 524 & 546 North Silver Springs Road): Ordinance to rezone two lots from R‑4 to NC — denied after public comment (see separate coverage). The transcript records the ordinance failed at council but does not provide a roll‑call tally.
- Bill 25‑37 (Cape LeCroix Trail easements): Ordinance authorizing acquisition of temporary construction and permanent easements for the Cape LeCroix trail repair project — approved.
- Bill 25‑38 (Property conveyance): Ordinance authorizing a special warranty deed conveying a small city parcel adjacent to 3556 Pheasant Cove Drive to a private owner following an appraisal and public bid process — approved.
Appointments
- Historic Preservation Commission: Ryan Lane, Denise Lincoln and Megan Tyson appointed to three‑year terms.
- Town Plaza CID Board: Scott Blank, Jeffrey Campbell and Lindell Runnels reappointed to terms expiring April 12, 2029.
No other council business requiring votes was recorded. Several items approved will require follow‑up by city staff — notably the Cape LeCroix trail easement acquisitions and performance guarantees on private sidewalk improvements.
