Butler City Council News, January 21, 2014

BUTLER, MO - In Butler City Council news, Shannon Barth attended the meeting this week to ask the Council for permission to hold the annual Relay for Life activity on the Butler square, and she got the ok for this June 7th.
And concerning the Welston Bates County Disposal sanitation contract, the Council noted that their contract is binding and must stay as is until time for renewal.
The Finance Committee has had another meeting on the next year’s fiscal year budget. This is a long and difficult subject and will continue until this summer, as the various departments note their needs for the coming year.
Another subject that hangs fire is Resolution 409, which has to do with Missouri cities and their control over their city poles and use of them by telephone, cable, and others attaching to them. Butler is one of many Missouri communities that are against 409.
The Bates County Economic Development Commission has met again to discuss priorities on our county’s roads and bridges projects. Top priority is installing an interchange at Missouri TT and I-49 and the need for access to Butler’s Industrial Park and the airport. Other top
priorities include work on Missouri Highway 18...shoulders, repaving and safety stripes are needed.
Butler’s housing demolition project is currently in the “environmental assessment” stage.
And the Council understands our day-to-day problems, and will adjust the sewer rate for the Mark Heckadon address, which occurred due to a leak.
