Gladstone council enacts MOU with Clay and Platt counties to develop regional tourism platform
Summary
The Gladstone City Council unanimously passed ordinance 4.706, authorizing the city manager to enter a memorandum of understanding with Clay and Platt counties to develop a regional digital tourism and economic-development platform.
The Gladstone City Council on July 14 enacted ordinance 4.706 to authorize the city manager to enter a memorandum of understanding with Clay and Platt counties to develop a collaborative digital platform for regional tourism and economic development.
Mayor Pro Tem Moore moved to accept the second reading of bill number 25-22 and enact it as ordinance number 4.706; the motion was seconded and passed on a roll call with Mayor Smith, Mayor Pro Tem Moore, Councilman Nave, Councilman Davis and Council member Spalo voting "aye." "I move to accept the second reading of bill number 25 dash 22 and enacted as ordinance number 4.706," Moore said during the meeting.
The ordinance authorizes the city manager to enter the MOU; the text read on the floor described the agreement as a regional effort to "develop a collaborative digital platform to promote regional tourism and economic development within the 2 county region." The council waived the rule and placed the bill on second and final reading before enactment.
Council members offered no recorded amendments or dissent during the readings and the ordinance passed unanimously. The council did not provide funding details in the meeting minutes or the reading on July 14; the ordinance authorizes the city manager to execute the MOU, but the transcript does not specify budgetary commitments or an implementation schedule.
