Aldermen approve stormwater contract, fence code change and other measures; vote summary
Summary
At its Feb. 11 meeting the Carl Junction Board of Aldermen approved a stormwater construction contract, a change to the fence code to allow privacy fences in R-4 zoning, and terminated a stalled country-club contractor agreement; votes were recorded where available.
The Carl Junction Board of Aldermen took several formal actions on Feb. 11, including awarding a construction agreement for a stormwater drainage project, amending the fence code to allow privacy fences in a planned-unit-development zone, approving a farmers market MOU, and terminating a stalled contractor agreement for the Country Club project.
Elements Construction Concepts, Inc. was placed under contract for the West Broadway Plains stormwater drainage project (ordinance 2503). The ordinance described the contract sum in the record as the amount authorized by the contract documents; council discussion noted the work is funded by DNR/ARPA-authorized funds and that additional authorized work will come through change orders. The ordinance passed on final reading by an 8–0 vote and was recorded as ordinance number 2503.
The board also amended chapter 405 of the municipal code to allow privacy fences in an R-4 (planned unit development) zoning designation. That fence ordinance advanced through second reading and passed final passage by an 8–0 vote (ordinance number not specified in the transcript excerpt).
The board voted 8–0 to approve the memorandum of understanding with the Carl Junction Farmers Market (ordinance 2505).
On the Country Club soccer-field/dirt work project, the board voted 8–0 to terminate the previously accepted bid and notify the contractor for lack of performance; staff will re-advertise the work and investigate prior bids. The board instructed staff to send formal written notice to the first bidder and then move to rebid if necessary.
Other actions and administrative items: - Long-term projects: the board gave consensus to accept a local bid of roughly $2,300 to complete electrical work at the Veterans Memorial so flags and lighting can be restored; because the amount is under the city administrator’s purchase threshold it was authorized to proceed. - The board held a closed session under Missouri statute for employee hiring/firing and personal information; officials said there was discussion but no vote or action recorded in open session.
Votes at a glance (recorded tallies where available): - Ordinance 2503 (West Broadway Plains stormwater contract with Elements Construction Concepts): passed 8–0; ordinance number 2503. - Fence-code amendment (chapter 405 allowing privacy fences in R-4): passed 8–0; ordinance number not specified. - Ordinance 2505 (MOU with Carl Junction Farmers Market): passed 8–0; ordinance number 2505. - Termination of Country Club contractor acceptance (country-club soccer-field/dirt work): passed 8–0; staff to re-advertise.
