The Washington City Council on Dec. 1 approved a series of ordinances on second reading covering a range of routine purchases, contracts and regulatory changes.
Items adopted included a farm lease with Jack Brinker for city recycling center farmland (ordinance 7a); a parking license agreement with Waste Management of Missouri Inc. for roll‑off and dumpster storage at the landfill (7d); equipment purchases including a compact wheel loader (7e), a Toro Greensmaster (7f), an Excel 63 baler conveyor and related installation (7h), and a trailer for a Bobcat excavator (7j). The council also accepted a proposal from Van de Venter Engineering for remaining influent lift‑station repairs at the wastewater treatment plant (7i) and approved a boundary adjustment for CHAS H Helms Subdivision Plat 2 (7k).
Notably, ordinance 7g establishes the offense of disorderly conduct as city ordinance language. Council took up the item after workshop discussion and moved it on second reading to adoption.
