REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING, AUGUST 29, 1988
approximately 9: 15 p.m.
The meeting resumed at 9:20 p.m. and Councilman Halsey informed the
Council that City Counselor Allen Garner was investigating the
legal standing for calling for an emergency Executive Session.
Mayor Gardner suggested that the Council proceed with the Agenda
and return to this item later in the meeting.
City Administrator Dave Johnston stated that additional petitions
for voluntary annexation in the Mall Ridge Addition had been
received and should be referred to the Planning and Code Department
for further action. Mr. Johnston stated it was further recommended
that the date of the public hearing on these petitions be set for
September 19, 1988.
Mr. Melvin Rodgers of 1018 E. Dunklin addressed the Council as the
Chairman of the Transportation Commission. Mr. Rodgers introduced
Mr. Russ Butler who is the Chairman of the City Airport Support
Group. Mr. Butler discussed the findings of the Airport Support
Group that had been distributed in the Council packets and reviewed
the four items the Airport Support Group felt were very important
to the development of the airport. After some discussion on the
report submitted to the Council, Councilman Voile moved that the
recommendations made by the Airport Support Group be referred to
the Long Range Planning Sub-Committee for further study and action.
Councilman Haake seconded the motion and it was approved.
City Counselor Allen Garner reported back to the Council regarding
the legality of calling for an Emergency Executive Session. Mr.
Garner's recommendation was that if the criteria could be met, the
Council adjourn and call for an emergency meeting, which could be
posted and notice given as to the purpose for the emergency
meeting.
Councilman Feldman moved he would like the council to make an
investigation into the operation of the Animal Shelter. There was
no second and the motion died.
After further discussion, Mayor Gardner requested the Council allow
Mr. Johnston to investigate the allegations and report back to the
Council on his findings. Councilman Voile stated he felt this was
a good idea, but thought it might be too late for that at this time
and felt it was imperative that all of the Council know what
allegations have been made. Councilman Voile moved to adjourn into
Executive Session to discuss possible items of Personnel and
Litigation. Councilman Halsey seconded the motion. After further
discussion, City Counselor Allen Garner recommended the Council
call a Special Emergency Meeting as opposed to an Executive
Session.
Mayor Gardner restated for the record that she felt the proper
procedure to this action would be to give the City Administrator
the opportunity and the time to investigate hearsay and report back
to the council. Councilman Voile withdrew his motion and
Councilman Halsey withdrew his second.
Councilman Haake moved to adjourn. Councilman Owens seconded the
motion and it was approved. The meeting was adjourned at
approximately 10:25 p.m.

Jefferson, Missouri, of August 29, 1988, was called to order at
10:30 P.M. with Mayor Louise Gardner presiding.
The following Council Members were present:
Present: Feldman, Gordon, Haake, Halsey, Mason, Owens,
Scheulen, Veile, and Woodman.
Absent: Davis.

purposes of discussion of litigation as provided for in RSMO 610.02
(1) and for the purposes of discussion of personnel as provided for
in RSMO 610.02 (1) .
The nature of the good cause justifying the failure to post notice
24 hours beforehand is the unexpected receipt of information
concerning possible improprieties of a serious nature, including
possible criminal charges, in the operation and conduct of the City
Animal Shelter.
Councilman Halsey seconded the motion and it was approved by the
following roll call vote:
Aye: Feldman, Gordon, Halsey, Mason, Owens, Scheulen, and
Voile.

whatever City resources and personnel necessary, and bring the
results to us as soon as possible. Councilman Owens seconded the
motion and it was approved.
Councilman Haake moved to adjourn. Councilman Gordon seconded and
