Mayor announces innovation award for interchange project and two Oct. 3 public meetings
Summary
The mayor told the Board of Aldermen that Kearney won a 2024 innovation award for the Nineteenth Street interchange project and announced two Oct. 3 public meetings: a Mac Porter Park connector open house at 4–6 p.m. and an ICC building-code update meeting 5–6 p.m. at City Hall.
During mayoral communications at the Sept. 26 meeting, the presiding official reported that Kearney received a 2024 innovation award from the Missouri Municipal League for the Nineteenth Street interchange project and thanked staff and Alderman Lehman for attending the conference in Branson.
The mayor announced two public meetings for Oct. 3. The first is an open-house-format meeting on the Mac Porter Park connector shared-use path at the Kearney Senior Center from 4 to 6 p.m., where residents can ask questions and give feedback. The second meeting is scheduled for Oct. 3 from 5 to 6 p.m. at Kearney City Hall to review the 2018 ICC building code update; the mayor noted the board previously postponed a formal vote twice to allow additional public review.
Aldermen also used the discussion period to encourage resident participation in an online survey about three projects seeking matching funds (noted deadline Oct. 4) and to remind the public about volunteer opportunities for Oktoberfest. Alderman Lehman and others praised recent improvements at Lions Park and Mac Porter Park.
No formal actions or votes were recorded for the announcements themselves. The meeting record lists upcoming administrative events: a work session on Sept. 28 at 8 a.m. and the next regular board meeting on Oct. 7 at 6:30 p.m.
