Summary
At its meeting the Fulton City Council approved a T-Mobile grant application for Carver Park, authorized a design amendment for the wastewater biological nutrient removal project, adopted a city code update on residency/property transfer, and scheduled two fee ordinances for future reading.
The Fulton City Council took several formal votes during the meeting on resolutions and ordinances.
T-Mobile Hometown Grant (Resolution 35 73): The council authorized the mayor to file and sign documents for a T‑Mobile Hometown Grant application for Carver Park improvements. City staff described it as a $50,000, no‑match grant. The motion to pass Resolution 35 73 carried on a voice vote with council members saying “aye.”
Wastewater treatment plant amendment (Resolution 35 74): The council authorized the mayor to execute documents for Amendment 1 to Phase 1B services for the wastewater biological nutrient removal improvements project with Burns & McDonnell of Kansas City. Staff described this phase as advancing design work and preparing for design‑build construction; estimated plant cost for the next phase was discussed around $6,000,000. The resolution passed on voice vote.
City code update (Bill 17-42): The council approved final passage of Bill 17-42, which updates Fulton City Code provisions for residency and property transfer procedures for city‑issued equipment. Staff said the ordinance aligns practice with security procedures and clarifies that issued property is returned to the city for re‑issuance. The roll call showed seven affirmative votes and the motion passed.
Fee schedule readings scheduled (Bills 17-44 and 17-45): The council voted to place Bill 17-44 (Parks & Recreation rate book) on the next reading with subsection 3 (fee‑waiving policy) removed and to place Bill 17-45 (Airport rate book) on the next reading after removal of the ground‑lease increase; the airport item remains subject to further financial detail before final action.
