City Council Meeting 8/3/26

The City of Moberly Council meeting on August 3, 2026, included several procurement and infrastructure actions. Council approved the consent agenda, which included a professional services agreement with Navigate Building Solutions LLC for a police and dispatch facility feasibility study and an application to the Missouri Clean Water State Revolving Fund for loans. Three bids were received for the water treatment plant upflow clarifier rehabilitation, and the council considered a resolution to award the work to Mega KC Corporation; the transcript does not clearly capture the final vote on that resolution. Council also approved change order No. 3 with Brown and Root Industrial Services LLC for the Wabash Heights ARPA stormwater project, a joint central dispatch user-agreement form through June 30, 2029, and a legal services contract with David Grossman and Associates for participation in PFAS litigation. The council appropriated $1,529,232.58 for expenses due July 17–30, 2026.

During the work session, the council advanced a 2026 tax-levy ordinance, described as an annual renewal at the 14.5% maximum rather than a new tax. It also discussed advancing a wastewater-treatment UV disinfection control-panel upgrade, budgeted at just under $90,000, to the next meeting. For fire-department vehicles, staff reported Enterprise quotes above $60,000 per unit before upfitting and long delivery times, compared with alternatives in the $45,000–$50,000 range; staff proposed sourcing vehicles elsewhere and seeking competitive financing bids from local banks, with the matter to return to council. Building-code revisions and development plans were also discussed. No final vehicle-purchase vote was recorded in the transcript.
