City briefs: Prairie Days set for Sept. 27; public‑works updates include striping, potholes and sidewalk watch list
Summary
City staff summarized preparations for Prairie Days on Sept. 27, timekeeping software demos and public‑works activity including Town Square striping, pothole patches on Barrett Haven Boulevard, and an inspection request for a raised sidewalk slab near Weldon Springs Grade School.
Kathy, the city administrator, updated aldermen on operations and community events. She said Prairie Days is scheduled for Saturday, Sept. 27 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., featuring family events, vendors, a Clydesdale meet‑and‑greet, a mechanical bull, a police/fire/EMS fundraiser at 1 p.m., a reptile experience, an interactive drum line, live music at 6:30 p.m. and fireworks at 9:30 p.m.
On public works, the city engineer said thermoplastic striping for the Town Square will begin the following Monday and that MoDOT traffic counters deployed near a closure have been collected with counts forthcoming. He reported stop signs at Meriwether Lewis and Expedition Court are not warranted based on crash history and sight distance. Crews patched a location on Barrett Haven Boulevard and staff will rebuild a repairs list to address remaining slab/hump issues; an alderman flagged a raised sidewalk slab near Weldon Springs Grade School and the engineer said staff will inspect and remedy the hazard.
Kathy also said staff are demoing timekeeping software to eliminate paper timesheets and that ball fields have been prepped for fall baseball while staff work on operating and capital budgets. These items were reported as routine staff updates; no formal board action was taken during the work session.
