Aldermen Discuss Resurfacing of City Hall Lot, Appoint Park Board Member

A light agenda at Monday’s Board of Aldermen meeting was likely welcome after many of the City staff and elected officials put in a long weekend working the Grain Valley Fair.

Dollar General Store has taken preliminary steps to request a liquor license. The topic of resurfacing the City Hall parking lot was also raised under new business.

City Administrator Ryan Hunt explained the City Hall parking lot is in need of resurfacing. Alderman Coleman suggested patching in lieu of resurfacing, as the City may be vacating the area in the future with the proposed development of the Sni-A-Bar farm property and subsequent move of City Hall to the property. Hunt indicated patching would not be sufficient given the condition of the lot.

In other business, the Board unanimously approved the appointment of Brian Bray to the Grain Valley Park Board for a three year term.

The next Board of Alderman meeting will be held at 7:00pm on September 24th at City Hall.
