Ferrelview trustees approve minutes, reimburse city administrator and extend temporary mobile-home permit
Summary
At its Feb. 10, 2026 meeting the Village of Ferrelview Board approved previous meeting minutes, authorized payment of the January bills, approved a $300 lodging reimbursement for City Administrator April Baxter to attend the MRWA conference, and granted a 30-day extension for a temporary mobile-home permit at 219 Chester Ave.
The Village of Ferrelview Board of Trustees conducted routine administrative business on Feb. 10, 2026, approving prior meeting minutes, authorizing payment of bills, granting a temporary permit extension and approving a reimbursement request for the city administrator’s attendance at an industry conference.
Grant Lewton moved to approve minutes from the regular sessions held Dec. 9, 2025 and Jan. 13, 2026; Mathew Damm seconded and the motion carried on recorded roll-call votes. Trustees then reviewed the treasurer’s report and Grant Lewton moved to pay the January bills; Elizabeth Damm seconded and the motion carried with unanimous recorded votes.
City Administrator April Baxter presented information about the Missouri Rural Water Association annual conference scheduled March 2–5, 2026 in Branson. Baxter said vouchers from the Missouri Department of Natural Resources will cover the $310 conference fee but not lodging or travel; Baxter said she found lodging estimated at $377 and requested a $300 reimbursement. Grant Lewton moved to reimburse Baxter $300 for lodging; Mathew Damm seconded and a roll-call vote recorded all ayes.
On a related land-use item, Baxter presented an ordinance violation and an expired temporary mobile-home permit for a unit at 219 Chester Ave. The owner of a construction trailer at the site, Mr. Murphy, requested a 30-day extension because he had lost his primary home in a fire; trustees agreed to extend the temporary-transfer permit to Feb. 28, 2026. Baxter said she would contact USPS and MARC about a separate request to readdress 100 3rd Street to 306 NW Heady Ave, which Commissioner Grant Lewton preferred over splitting the property into an “A/B” duplex numbering.
The meeting closed after a motion to adjourn carried 4-0; the regular session adjourned at 6:52 PM. The minutes for the Feb. 10 meeting were formally approved by the board on March 10, 2026.
Why it matters: These routine approvals finalize the village’s financial actions for January, confirm administrative support for training and continuity of municipal services, and extend temporary housing relief for a resident affected by a house fire.
What’s next: Administration will invoice, process reimbursements and follow up with USPS and MARC on the readdressing request; the board returned routine governance items to staff for implementation.
