The Cassville City Council met on Monday, July 13th, in Council Chambers with Mayor ProTem Jerry Marple presiding in the absence of Mayor Bill Shiveley.
The Council approved the minutes of the June 8th regular session and the bills and purchase requisitions as presented. No visitors had requested to address the Board of Aldermen, so they proceeded to the consideration of bids. Seven Valleys Construction submitted a bid for the sewer man hole repairs, which was approved by the Aldermen.
Several new bills were read and approved, including the municipal court clerk and court automation fee, the revision of fireworks code amendments, the CARES grant, disposition of surplus property, and a change in credit card services.
Departmental reports were read and approved. Police Chief Kammerlohr reported that the number of calls was the highest monthly total she has seen. Officers are doing extra patrols at the parks, and domestic calls have increased. Alderman Horner thanked Chief Kammerlohr and the police department for their handling of the recent bank fraud situation.
Among other departmental items discussed were the funding granted to the city for park improvements, including paving and a gravel trail. The citywide cleanup has been delayed due to COVID-19 and will be rescheduled. The grace period for overdue water accounts will end on July 31st, and beginning August 1st, service will be shut off after notification to customers. Street repaving projects are set to resume July 20, 2020. Isaac Peterson reported that the city’s sales tax revenue is ahead of the same year-to-date period from last year.
The Council discussed plans for Trout Fest, August 14th and 15th, with fireworks on Friday. During the same weekend, the Chamber of Commerce is sponsoring the Roaring River Classic softball tournament, featuring traveling softball teams.
