City of Laurie, Missouri

September 15, 2009

We opened a special hearing on the contract we anticipated signing with an internet provider. It was a very informative time.

We then opened our monthly board meeting for Laurie at 6:10

1st item approval of last month’s minutes.

Unfinished business: we discussed the guidelines for accepting streets, after much discussion we left that subject as an ordinance accepting that was scheduled later in the agenda.

New business:

A. Laurie Care Center made a request to waive late fees on their water & sewer bill due to an error by their accounts payable. The request was denied.

B. Jeff Sutton requested that we allow a sign existing in non compliance to be “grandfathered in” as it was incorrectly placed originally as a on premises advertising structure. The request was granted.

C. Ordinance 2009-20 establishing a neighborhood improvement district was tabled to next month due to uncertainty in the language.

D. Ordinance 2009-21 authorizing a franchise agreement with Missouri Gas Utility was accepted.
