DISCUSSION OF AGENDA ITEMS
2008 -66 (rezoning Portabello Place) - Several questions were asked which City Planner
Janice McMillan answered.
RS2008 -25 (recognition of 2008 Outstanding Employee) - Mayor John Landwehr asked
if the Council would agree to take up this item early on the agenda to allow Ms. Toebben
to leave the meeting and get back to her family. The Council had no objections to Mayor
Landwehr's suggestion.
RS2008 -29 (Road and Bridge Tax funds) - A lengthy discussion was held on this issue
to explain the current funding which the City receives and the statutes which now make it
possible for the City to receive a higher percentage of the property taxes collected by Cole
County from the citizens inside the City. Mayor John Landwehr explained this is simply a
formal request to the County to set aside the percentage of taxes collected from City
residents allowed by state statute for the purpose of funding road and bridge projects in the
City.
New Business (City- County Arterial Investment Policy) - Mayor John Landwehr
explained recent discussions which pertained to the issue, and stated more discussions
would continue in the future to ensure a solid policy is in place for future expansion projects
involving the City and the unincorporated areas of the county near the City.
