# September, 2026 City of Waynesville, MO City Council Meeting

The September 18, 2026, Waynesville, Missouri, City Council meeting featured a presentation on a planned Pilot travel center at the former Whitmore Farms site. The privately led project is expected to create more than 100 jobs and include truck and car fueling, RV access, truck parking and a scale, a convenience store and restaurant concepts, and Route 66-themed displays. The presenter said geotechnical work and final site, utility, and traffic design coordination were targeted for completion by October 5, with opening anticipated around August or in the fall. The project depends on existing sewer, water, and electrical infrastructure, with power lines to be relocated. No city contract award, procurement vote, or spending approval for the project was identified.

The city administrator reported that the utility committee discussed proposed water and sewer availability-fee and rate increases, with the matter expected to return to the council; the transcript includes several amounts but is unclear on some details. The city’s 2027 budget draft is expected to go to the council next month, followed by a final budget in November, and council members received the auditor’s report. Other discussion covered community events, roadwork and traffic impacts, and city services; no other procurement actions were identified.
