Ironton aldermen approve TAP supplemental agreement, parade parking rule and several operational actions
Summary
The Ironton Board of Aldermen on Jan. 12 unanimously approved Ordinance 2026-731 (a supplemental TAP agreement with the Missouri Highways and Transportation Commission) and Ordinance 2026-732 (adding a parking restriction for parade routes), authorized up to $15,000 for a Shepherd Mountain Bike Park vehicle, ratified a backhoe repair, and authorized an offer on the Mayes property.
The Ironton Board of Aldermen unanimously approved two ordinances and several operational measures during its Jan. 12 meeting. Mayor Don Barzowski presided and Aldermen James Layton, Roy Logan and Jill Sutton recorded aye votes on the evening's measures.
The most significant formal action was passage of Ordinance 2026-731, which authorizes the mayor to enter into Supplemental Agreement #1 with the Missouri Highways and Transportation Commission for the Transportation Alternatives Program project TAP-9901(870). The ordinance was read by title twice and passed after roll call votes in which Aldermen Layton, Logan and Sutton voted Aye. City staff noted the TAP application had been updated with MoDOT and the program deadline extended to December 2026.
The board also adopted Ordinance 2026-732, adding section 235.050 to the municipal code to allow the chief of police to prohibit or restrict parking along designated parade routes or event locations. The ordinance was read twice by title and passed on unanimous roll call votes.
Beyond the ordinances, the board authorized up to $15,000 for the purchase of a replacement vehicle for the Shepherd Mountain Bike Park, contingent on later board approval of the specific vehicle. The motion was made by Alderman James Layton and seconded by Alderman Roy Logan; the vote was unanimous. The board also ratified a prior vote to have McCoy Construction & Forestry repair the city backhoe.
On real estate and administrative matters, the aldermen authorized Mayor Barzowski to make an offer of $2,500 plus legal fees on the Mayes property; the motion passed unanimously. The board directed City Attorney Scott Reid to send a letter to Ronnie Mayberry concerning a zoning issue at 603 Front St. and scheduled a working session for Jan. 26, 2026, at 5:00 p.m.
The meeting closed and later reconvened after a closed session held to discuss litigation (Section 610.021(1) RSMo.) and real estate (Section 610.021(2) RSMo.). The board adjourned at 7:49 p.m.
What happens next: the TAP supplemental agreement requires execution by the mayor and continued coordination with MoDOT and Taylor Engineering; the city will receive and open Main Street Bridge bids on Feb. 3 at 10 a.m., per staff reports.
