Rolla council approves MoDOT grant agreement, awards $810,296 asphalt contract; tables false-alarm ordinance
Summary
At its Feb. 17 meeting, the Rolla City Council unanimously approved an agreement to apply for fully funded Missouri Department of Transportation traffic grants and voted to award an $810,296.90 contract to Pierce Asphalt for FY26 Asphalt Phase I; the council tabled proposed changes to the false-alarm ordinance until March 2 for legal review.
The Rolla City Council on Feb. 17 unanimously approved an ordinance authorizing the mayor to execute an agreement with the Missouri Department of Transportation that lets the city apply for fully funded traffic grants, and separately approved awarding Project 608 (FY26 Asphalt Phase I) to Pierce Asphalt LLC for $810,296.90. The council also tabled further action on a proposed false-alarm ordinance to allow additional legal review.
City Counselor James Klahr read the MoDOT agreement ordinance for final reading before Councilman Nathan Chirban moved to approve the ordinance; Andrew Behrendt seconded. A roll-call vote recorded Ayes from McNeven, Dickens, Rolufs, Greven, Behrendt, Balch, Jackson, Hahn and Chirban; Nays: none.
On the bid award for Project 608, Councilman Steve Jackson moved and Micheal Dickens seconded a motion to award the FY26 Asphalt Phase I contract to Pierce Asphalt LLC for $810,296.90. The motion passed and Klahr read the related ordinance for its first reading authorizing the mayor to execute the agreement.
The council also debated a proposed amendment to the city’s false-alarm ordinance. City Counselor Klahr read the proposed ordinance for final reading and Councilman William Hahn briefly moved to remove several sections and replace them with a revised fines structure (including fines starting at $100); after discussion Hahn withdrew that motion and instead moved, seconded by Nathan Chirban, to table the item to the March 2 meeting to give legal counsel time to review concerns and prepare a red-line version for council review. The motion to table passed by voice vote.
Mayor Pro-Tem Kevin Greven opened and closed the public hearing on unrelated items and presided over the votes. The council is expected to revisit the false-alarm ordinance at its March 2 meeting when legal counsel provides the red-line revision.
