Gladstone council enacts ordinance to join Missouri Firefighters Critical Illness Trust Pool

The Gladstone City Council voted Sept. 8 to enact Bill 25-26, authorizing the city manager to execute necessary documents for the city to participate in the Missouri Firefighters Critical Illness Trust Pool. The council adopted the ordinance as Ordinance 4.71 after a second reading and a roll-call vote.

City of Gladstone Mayor Smith introduced and accepted the second reading; Mayor Pro Tem Moore moved to accept the second reading, and the motion passed on the roll call. The clerk read the ordinance text aloud during the meeting. Councilman Nade, Council member Spalo, Mayor Pro Tem Moore and Mayor Smith recorded “aye” votes during the roll call.

The ordinance was presented during the meeting’s item 10 and completed at the second reading and vote later in the evening. No public comment or extended discussion about the pool’s terms, costs, or implementation appeared in the meeting transcript.

The action directs the city manager to execute required participation documents; no additional implementation timeline or funding details were specified in the meeting record.
