Laddonia — The Laddonia Board of Aldermen on June 18 approved a slate of routine items, including a street sealing and repair bid from Mid River Asphalt Inc., a livestock permit and cemetery tree removal, and took a personnel step to set an interview for a part-time police officer.
Mayor Tresa Hodges called the meeting to order at 7:00 p.m. and Dwayne Hogue moved to approve the agenda; Jeremy Fendrick seconded and the board approved the agenda 4-0. Valarie Main with MRWA informed the board that a rate study for future water and sewer rates had been performed earlier that day, but the minutes record no action or figures tied to the study.
The board approved the Mid River Asphalt Inc. bid for street sealing and repair after a motion from Gary Garnett and a second from Dwayne Hogue; the minutes record the motion passed 4-0 but do not list contract terms or dollar amounts. The board also approved a livestock permit for Rick Chism (motion by Dwayne Hogue; second by Gary Garnett) and voted 4-0 to pay the full amount for tree removal at the cemetery (motion by Jeremy Fendrick; second by Kevin Charlton). The minutes do not specify payment amounts for the cemetery work.
Several routine administrative items were approved by unanimous vote: the May 2026 meeting minutes (moved by Kevin Charlton; seconded by Jeremy Fendrick), the May 2026 monthly reports (moved by Jeremy Fendrick; seconded by Kevin Charlton) and the May 2026 warrant list (moved by Dwayne Hogue; seconded by Jeremy Fendrick). The board set a special meeting to consider the FY 2026–2027 budget for Tuesday, June 23, 2026, at 7:00 p.m.
The board entered closed session at 8:44 p.m. for a personnel matter; the minutes record a return to open session at 8:48 p.m. After returning to open session, the board approved (4-0) a motion to set an interview for a part-time police officer. The meeting was adjourned at 8:48 p.m. by Mayor Hodges. The minutes were submitted by Clerk Shonda Logerman.
What the minutes do not show: no contract values for the Mid River Asphalt Inc. bid or the cemetery tree removal, and the rate study presented by MRWA was noted without accompanying figures or action. For items requiring formal adoption (for example the parking ordinance), the minutes show readings but not final passage.
