The Bolivar Board of Aldermen approved a package of resolutions, ordinances and appointments during its April 21 meeting.
Key votes at a glance: - Resolution 202503 (Blue Shield program): The board adopted a resolution reaffirming Bolivar’s commitment to public safety and authorizing application to the state Blue Shield city program. City staff told the board there is no cost to apply and that the application must be submitted by June 1; the motion carried by voice vote.
- Bill 2025-22 / Ordinance No. 4044 (golf-cart lease): The board held first and second readings and adopted an ordinance authorizing a lease agreement with DLL Financial Partner Solutions for golf carts from Clear Creek for the municipal golf course. The clerk conducted a roll-call vote with the following recorded ayes: Saggerser, Ross, Ballard, Neil, Wilson, Morse and Price (7–0); the ordinance was adopted.
- Reappointment of city attorney: The board reappointed McDonough Brown (referred to in the meeting as Don Brown, Esquire) as city attorney for a one-year term; motion carried by voice vote.
- Appointments to planning and zoning: The board appointed Alexis to a one-year term on the Planning and Zoning board and reappointed Ed Kurtz and Nathan Evans for four-year terms. A separate nomination for Dr. John Best was withdrawn after members said they had received community feedback and chose to revisit the vacancy at a future meeting.
- Other routine items: The board approved payment of the bills, authorized auction of designated surplus vehicles and equipment, and approved the administrator’s report. The board later voted 7–0 in favor of entering executive session under RSMo §610.021 for legal, personnel and public-safety planning matters.
