Ferrelview trustees review building inspections, approve code‑book purchase planning, pick Earth Day cleanup dates and decline liquor‑hours action
Summary
Trustees heard that recent mobile‑home inspections found only minor issues and asked staff to pursue purchasing updated ICC building and electrical code books. The board selected April 24–26 for Earth Day clean‑up, discussed guardrail damage, and took no action to opt out of an automatic temporary extension of liquor sales hours.
Building Commissioner Grant Lewton reported inspections at Ferrelwood Mobile Home Park for newly installed homes that turned up minor items such as required erosion control and GFCI outlet installation for washer/dryer hookups.
Lewton recommended purchasing updated code books to ensure consistent enforcement: Building Code 2018 Redline Edition (estimated $285) and National Electrical Code 2017 (estimated $296). City Administrator April Baxter said a resolution to amend the 2026 budget may be needed if the purchases cannot be accommodated and staff was asked to check available funds or prepare a resolution.
Under new business, Baxter also flagged guardrail damage on 1st Street near Heady Avenue; Trustee Mathew Damm suggested placing a large boulder to protect the stop sign at the intersection. Baxter said she had sent the Missouri Department of Natural Resources lead‑and‑copper service‑line questionnaire notice to customers who had not yet submitted it. The board discussed an automatic state extension of liquor sales hours during a World Cup period that would affect one local business; trustees took no action to opt out.
The board selected the weekend of April 24–26, 2026 for the Earth Day community dumpster event.
No formal purchase was authorized at the Jan. 13 meeting; trustees asked staff to report back with whether the estimated costs fit the 2026 budget or to prepare a budget resolution.
