The Sedalia City Council on Nov. 3 approved a slate of ordinances and administrative items with little debate.
Election date: The council enacted Bill 2025-183, an ordinance calling a general election for April 7, 2026, to elect the mayor, one council member from each of the four wards and one additional council member for a one-year unexpired term. The ordinance moved through second reading and final passage; council members recorded 'yes' votes during roll call.
Missouri State Fair sewer easement: Council approved Bill 2025-184, accepting a permanent sanitary sewer easement from the State of Missouri to extend sewer service to the new arena on East Clarendon Road and connect to the city's system near Southwest Boulevard and Clarendon Road. City staff reviewed the legal description and recommended acceptance.
Sanitary sewer root control contract: The city authorized Bill 2025-185, permitting an agreement with Duke's Root Control to chemically treat 119,116 linear feet of sanitary sewer mains to control root intrusion. The quoted cost was $39,806.19, which staff said fits within the current maintenance budget.
Property sale: Council approved final passage of Bill 2025-186, authorizing a quitclaim deed to sell property commonly known as 705 North Quincy Avenue to DNR Property Investments LLC; roll-call votes recorded approval.
Other approvals: The council authorized Resolution 21-53 to allow the police department to apply for FY2025 Patrick Leahy Bulletproof Vest Partnership grant funding (which reimburses up to 50% of eligible body armor costs), approved three liquor licenses (two special-event licenses for Wildlife Ridge Winery and a liquor-by-the-drink license for State Fair Spirits), and confirmed Matthew Wert to the Sedalia Tourism Commission to complete a term ending Dec. 31, 2026.
All recorded roll-call votes shown in the meeting transcript were unanimous in favor on the listed ordinances; no opposing votes were recorded in the minutes for the items listed above.
