Kirksville council urges voters to check city website for police and fire station facts; manager announces Mill Street meeting and mural project
Summary
Council members urged residents to rely on the City of Kirksville website for accurate information about the police and fire station ballot question; City Manager Mary Macomber announced a Feb. 18 public meeting on Mill Street reconstruction, a March 21 chamber banquet and a planned mural on Harrison Street.
During council comments at the Feb. 9 meeting, Council member John urged residents to seek accurate information about the police and fire station ballot language and cautioned against spreading misinformation online. He acknowledged that concerns about taxes and pocketbook impacts are legitimate and encouraged residents to attend upcoming informational sessions.
City Manager Mary Macomber reviewed several community items: a public meeting on the Mill Street reconstruction project will be held Feb. 18 from 5 to 7 p.m. at the Aquatic Center; the Chamber of Commerce annual banquet is scheduled for March 21 (registration closes March 13); and the tourism office is working with the Arts Association on a mural project, with the next mural planned for Harrison Street. Macomber said the Arts Association generally selects mural artists and staff will ask for details on the selection process. She also reminded council that Lakes Parks & Recreation Commission applications will be accepted through Feb. 17 at 5 p.m.
The mayor also noted the State of the City address is available on the city's YouTube page and thanked new City Attorney James Clauer for attending. The meeting adjourned after a motion and voice vote.
