Votes at a glance: council workshop actions forwarded to full council (Dec. 2, 2024)
Summary
At the Dec. 2 workshop the council approved forwarding several items to full council for formal action: the Schreffer Insurance recommendation (UnitedHealthcare), CMT runway design contract, Jefferson/Main sidewalk/budget amendment, a Jefferson Street TCE update, and the Radiocom fire radio purchase; the council also voted to enter executive session under Section 610.021, RSMo.
Items forwarded to the full council (Dec. 2 workshop):
- Health benefits (Schreffer Insurance): Council voted to forward the broker's recommendation to move the city medical plan to UnitedHealthcare; staff estimated roughly $122,000 in savings versus the Anthem renewal and noted a coinsurance change (plan pays 80% after a $5,000 deductible) that will be addressed by the city's HRA and employee education.
- Airport runway extension (CMT design contract): Council voted to send a design and bidding contract with CMT for a roughly 400-foot runway extension (design fee quoted at about $212,000) to the full council for approval; staff said MoDOT approved the selection and the design phase is part of a larger $3 million grant.
- Jefferson & Main sidewalk and budget amendment (TIF): Council voted to forward a roughly $47,000 downtown TIF-funded sidewalk and curb-and-gutter project for consideration by the full council.
- Jefferson Street TCE: Council approved staff motion related to a temporary construction easement at 1305 Jefferson St., including cancellation of a previously recorded TCE and the need for a new agreement with a new property owner; staff moved the item forward to council.
- Fire radio equipment purchase (Radiocom / ARPA): Council voted to forward a state-contract purchase for 13 portable radios, one mobile unit and four repeaters; staff said the Department of Public Safety awarded an ARPA cost-share grant for the purchase (described in the record as a 50/50 cost-share).
Executive session vote: The council held a public vote and entered executive session to discuss personnel, legal or real estate matters under Section 610.021 of the Revised Statutes of Missouri.
Reported motion/second notes in the workshop record were imperfectly transcribed in several places; the workshop record shows each item was passed on a voice vote and will be scheduled for final action at the full council meeting.
