Marionville board approves Verizon internet, sells surplus brush truck and accepts resignations
Summary
At its Jan. 15 meeting the board selected Verizon for city internet service, approved sale of a 2008 brush truck to the highest offer, appointed Roger Howe to the Housing Authority, and accepted Doris Rapp’s resignation from cemetery duties.
The Marionville Board of Aldermen handled several routine but substantive items on Jan. 15, approving vendor and personnel actions and recording department reports.
On procurement, Alderman Lawrence moved to select Verizon for internet service at city buildings; the motion, seconded by Alderman Urschel, passed on roll-call vote. On city assets, Fire Chief Kris Bowling said the department received a new brush truck and recommended selling the 2008 F-350. Alderman Lawrence moved to sell the 2008 brush truck to the best offer (no set minimum reserve); Alderman Motley seconded and the motion passed.
Personnel changes included the board reading and accepting Carol Cook’s resignation from the Housing Authority and appointing Roger Howe to fill that vacancy; the appointment motion, moved by Alderman Urschel and seconded by Alderman Motley, passed on roll-call vote. President Brenner also read and accepted Cemetery volunteer Doris Rapp’s resignation; the council and attendees gave Rapp a standing ovation in recognition of her service.
Department reports included Fire Department training plans and donations: Bowling reported 452 calls in 2025, eight mutual-aid calls, 11 volunteers, a $500 Lions Club donation, a $2,000 MFA grant and a $250 grant from Casey’s General Store. Austin White, fire training coordinator, said about 30 students are expected at a Feb. 21 full-house burn training and that three photographers will attend.
The board considered going into closed session under RSMo 610.020 (1), (3) and (13) but recorded no vote or need to convene closed session. The meeting adjourned at 8:32 p.m.
