Boonville council adopts ordinances, approves web contract and amends salary ordinance
Summary
The council adopted a speed‑limit ordinance, approved a five‑year web services contract, conducted first readings on off‑road vehicle rules, and passed salary ordinance amendments with retroactive pay; it also approved an appropriations resolution and routine claims before adjourning.
At its June 3 meeting the Boonville City Council handled multiple business items: it adopted an ordinance establishing speed limits on American Way and Liberty Boulevard (Ordinance 2025‑3), approved a five‑year web services agreement, completed first readings for an ordinance governing recreational off‑road vehicle (ORV) operation, adopted a budgetary appropriation resolution (Resolution 25‑5), and passed amendments to the 2025 salary ordinance, including suspending rules to make certain raises retroactive to earlier dates.
Speed limits: The council completed the second reading and adopted Ordinance 2025‑3. The ordinance will take effect 30 days after publication because it carries a penalty, which staff will publish in the legal paper before the effective date.
Web services contract: Staff presented a five‑year website services contract with annual payments discussed at roughly $2,950 per year; council approved the contract and staff described a 6–9 month redesign and phased implementation so the site would not be taken offline.
ORV ordinance and codification: Council conducted a first reading of Ordinance 25‑5 to regulate recreational off‑road vehicles in the city and discussed codification work to integrate city ordinances into the revised website (legal review and redaction notes included in the plan). The ORV ordinance passed first reading and will return for further action.
Salary ordinance amendments: The council considered amendments to the salary ordinance to correct missed raises and, after consulting the state board of accounts, approved readings and a motion to suspend rules so certain pay adjustments could be made retroactive.
Budget and claims: Council read and adopted Resolution 25‑5 to move budgeted amounts among accounts (primarily payroll and LIT‑related accounts) and approved properly documented claims. The meeting adjourned after those items.
Next steps: Staff will publish the speed‑limit ordinance as required, proceed with the website redesign and complete codification work, and implement payroll adjustments per the amended salary ordinance.
