Owensville aldermen adopt three ordinances, OK MoDOT TAP agreement
Summary
At their Sept. 22 meeting, the Owensville Board of Aldermen unanimously approved three ordinances: new restrictions on certain drug and synthetic products (Ordinance 1485), a MoDOT TAP grant agreement for trail work (Ordinance 1486), and a change to permit/variance expiration rules (Ordinance 1487).
The Owensville Board of Aldermen voted to adopt three ordinances at its Sept. 22, 2025 meeting, approving measures on controlled synthetic substances, a transportation grant agreement and code changes governing the expiration of land‑use approvals.
Ordinance No. 1485 (Bill No. 2025‑22) amends Article XI of Chapter 210 to add new sections relating to certain drug and synthetic products. The city attorney explained the measure to the board; after a second reading, the board placed the bill on final passage. Aldermen Lahmeyer, Bohl and Breeden voted aye; Alderman Kramme was absent. The ordinance passed.
Ordinance No. 1486 (Bill No. 2025‑23) approves the Missouri Highways and Transportation Commission Transportation Alternatives Fund (MoDOT TAP) program agreement and authorizes the mayor to execute required documents. The board approved a motion for final passage with the same three affirmative votes and one absence; the ordinance passed.
Ordinance No. 1487 (Bill No. 2025‑24) amends provisions of Title IV of the Municipal Code relating to the expiration of certain approvals when no further action occurs within one year. Following a second reading and a motion for final passage, the measure passed on a roll call with Aldermen Breeden, Lahmeyer and Bohl voting aye; Alderman Kramme was absent.
What the votes mean: each ordinance was adopted by the full board present at the meeting; no votes opposed or recorded abstentions were recorded in the minutes. Procedural motions to read and move bills to final passage were recorded for each item, and the mayor called the roll before each ordinance was declared passed.
The meeting record does not include detailed text of ordinance language beyond the subject headings provided by staff and the city attorney's summary. Next steps for each ordinance are standard implementation and any administrative actions required to effectuate the new rules or agreements.
