Council approves one‑day picnic liquor license for Christ Community Lutheran School; Takobuda submits new liquor application; clerk schedules September public‑h

Kirkwood city council approved several administrative items reported by the city administrator and city clerk: a one‑day picnic liquor license for Christ Community Lutheran School and acceptance of a liquor‑by‑the‑drink application from Takobuda; the clerk also announced upcoming public hearings for property tax rates and a mixed‑use development.

The city administrator said the city received an application for a one‑day picnic liquor license from Christ Community Lutheran School, 110 West Woodbine Avenue, for Sept. 26, 2025; the council approved the license by voice vote. The administrator also reported receipt of an application from Takobuda, 11001.11 Manchester Road, for an on‑premises intoxicating liquor license; staff indicated the application is associated with a change of ownership and the council approved acceptance by voice vote.

Council members asked whether Takobuda already sold liquor; a staff member responded the application appears to be tied to a change in ownership. The transcript records comments that a new ownership group may have joined ownership with another local restaurant; staff said they had not seen official paperwork beyond the application.

City Clerk announced three scheduled public hearings for Sept. 4, 2025: establishing the property tax rates for the City of Kirkwood; establishing property tax rates for the Kirkwood Municipal Library; and a request for a B2 mixed‑use development plan at 300 North Kirkwood Road. The clerk said those hearings are scheduled as required.

All votes on the liquor items were by voice and recorded as carrying. No public comment on the liquor licenses was recorded in the transcript.
