The following reports were given:
Mayor Silvey1. Received an invoice for dues from the Lake Ozark Council of Local Governments in the amount of $967.98. The matter of paying the dues was tabled until next month.
Chief Marshall1. Due to problems with the P-25 narrow band radios not transmitting well, Chief Marshall requested either putting a repeater in each of the 6 patrol cars or placing one repeater on the water tower. The fire and public works departments have also been having transmission issues, therefore, Mayor Silvey felt the option of putting one on the water tower would be more feasible. The matter was tabled so that prices for the repeater could be obtained. 2. Requested that the City proceed with getting bids for the abandoned Mitsubishi that is being stored at the wastewater plant.
Mayor Silvey presented letters of resignation from full time officer Tyler Newell and reserve officer Anthony Brown. Motion by Alderperson Bolton seconded by Alderperson Dornan to accept the resignation of Tyler Newell. Motion carried unanimously. Motion by Alderperson Dornan seconded by Alderperson Mayor to accept the resignation of Anthony Brown. Motion carried unanimously.

There was discussion on the auditor’s final invoice. The $8500.00 agreed upon was paid last month, leaving a balance of $5,000.00. Motion by Alderperson Bolton seconded by Alderperson Hibdon to compromise by paying them $3,000.00 and if they have any dispute about it they should contact Attorney Gaw. Motion carried unanimously.
Supt. Avey1. To aid in snow removal, Supt. Avey would like to remind the public to keep vehicles off the square when the forecast is calling for snow. 2. Since the Chamber would have access to the electrical box on the new pole on West Jasper Street during Apple Festival, Supt. Avey asked that Mayor Silvey talk with the Chamber about possibly paying for ½ of the cost of the electrical box. 3. Would like to finish the storm water ditch at Wilhelm as well as doing some by the west well. 4. Would like to do asphalting on Washington Street from Maple to South Monroe. APAC will be coming this week to look at it and give a price.

Alderperson Mayor received a letter from HomeServe concerning coverage for water lines. The possibility of this being a scam has not been determined, however, the City is not endorsing it.
Duane Miller1. Will be letting out bids for a new truck as well as additional equipment to be installed on the truck. He will also be letting out bids for a portable sampler. Per Attorney Gaw, since the truck can be purchased on the state bid, bids will only have to be let out on the additional equipment for the truck. Bids are to be back in by next month’s meeting. Eric Hibdon1. The interceptor line is in service and functioning. All that is left to do is the rehab of an existing manhole and cleanup. The project came in at approximately $14,000.00 under the contract amount.
