Knob Noster Board approves agenda, conducts closed-session contract talks
Summary
At its March 17 meeting the Knob Noster Board of Aldermen approved the agenda and consent items, entered closed session for contract negotiations, and adjourned after routine city reports. Multiple agenda motions passed on unanimous 5–0 votes.
The Knob Noster Board of Aldermen convened March 17, 2026, at 6:00 p.m. with Mayor Byerly calling the meeting to order and confirming a quorum with Aldermen Thering, Kleoppel, Stauffer-Baum, Wray and Smith present. Alderman Thering moved to approve the agenda; Alderman Kleoppel seconded and the motion carried 5 ayes to 0 nays.
The Board approved the consent agenda, including an amendment to the March 3, 2026 minutes that replaced “Alderman Charrette” with Alderman Smith on Item 14. Alderman Kleoppel made the motion to adopt the consent agenda; Alderman Thering seconded and the motion passed 5 ayes to 0 nays. Later in the session, at 6:40 p.m., Alderman Smith moved — and Alderman Kleoppel seconded — to enter Closed Session pursuant to Section 610.021 RSMo, Paragraph 9 (contract negotiations); the roll-call vote was unanimous. The meeting was adjourned at 7:11 p.m. after Alderman Stauffer-Baum moved to adjourn (seconded by Alderman Smith); that motion also carried 5 ayes to 0 nays.
Why this matters: the Board completed routine governance actions and invoked a statutory closed-session exception for contract talks, signaling active negotiations requiring nondisclosure under state statute. The minutes record no public comments and no votes that changed city policy during open session.
