BUTLER, Mo - Mayor Don Malan and the City Council has passed a resolution, asking Governor Jay Nixon to veto house bills that would remove local control from wireless antenna sites and cost recovery for attachments on community-owned facilities.
In short, the Mayor and Council are saying that control of what is done to and on city poles should be left to the cities involved. This has to do with charges and so on to cable and telephone companies. The resolution will go to Governor Nixon.
The Airport Commission is still working on maintenance needs, but the main item is the job that will involve matching funds from federal and state sources to handle runway drainage improvements and a seal coat project, with the city’s share about $29,000.
And this item will be of interest to swimmers…the Council approved a suggestion from Trent Diehl, Public Works Director, that an ice machine be purchased for the Aquatic Center. He pointed out that buying packages of ice isn’t feasible, as it would require a place to keep it frozen and get more people involved in taking care of details.
He noted that not only is there a heavy need for ice drinks and other normal needs, but the lifeguards could use it for making ice packs and other first aid reason. The Council accepted the low bid of just under $2,000 for the machine.
And that’s the latest word from Mayor Don Malan and the Butler City Council.
