Public commenters urged the council to abandon mandatory occupancy inspections and questioned recent expenditures.
The O'Fallon City Council voted to approve several contracts and ordinances and heard public criticism of the city's occupancy inspection program during a regular meeting.
In roll-call votes the council approved a resolution authorizing the mayor to execute an agreement with Maids My Way for professional cleaning services, approved a five-year contract with ESO for EMS patient-care reporting software, advanced an ordinance amending city occupancy-fee rules on first reading, and approved warrant number 5.51 totaling $7,248,756.65.
