City of Jefferson - City Council Meeting 10.05.2026

At the City of Jefferson, Missouri, City Council meeting titled October 5, 2026 (recording metadata is dated October 6), council approved an agreement with Withers Ravenel for a pavement-condition survey and asset-management life-cycle model (Bill 2026-044). Council also approved the city budget and personnel plan for November 1, 2026–October 31, 2027, and a 2.5% pay adjustment effective November 1 for firefighters under an agreement with IAFF Local 671; the adjustment was included in the budget. A resolution authorizing an agreement to reserve 100 spaces in the new parking garage for the State of Missouri during normal business hours was adopted. The special-obligation bond ordinance for the parking garage was discussed, including its financing process and reliance on parking revenues, but was scheduled for a later final reading rather than approved at this meeting. Named financial participants included Piper Sandler and underwriter Stifel Nicolaus.

Council also approved a resolution supporting a grant application for the Ohio Street Bridge replacement. The estimated project cost is $845,000, with a 20% match of $169,000, including $65,000 in staff time and materials; submitting the application itself does not commit the city to accept funds. Other introduced measures addressed FAA equipment relocation for the new air traffic control tower, sewer-discharge code requirements, and a subdivision plat. No competitive bids or vendor awards were identified.
