  The Shelbina City Council met in regular session on Tuesday, September 24, 2024, at city hall.

  Citizen Participation:

  Spencer Keiser with Globe Life was on hand to present supplemental insurance options for the City of Shelbina employees. Only request was that they fill out an application and set it up to do that through payroll deductions. He will be coming back later to present to the employees during their open enrollment period. Clerk will get with him to set that up.

A motion was seconded and approved to fill out an application for supplemental insurance to be offered to city employees at their own expense through payroll deductions and to allow Globe Life to be present during open enrollment.

  Special Announcements:

  It was discussed that Farmer’s Day was a success. The city appreciated all the volunteers responsible for getting it organized.

  Unfinished Business:

  A short discussion was held on the Ridge Street property the City had recently purchased. City Attorney Jim McConnell is working on a letter to send to the previous property owners.

Councilman James Simpson asked about weeds being up next to one of the alleys in town. He was wondering if they can issue a nuisance to the property owner or if the City would spray that area in the spring.

  New Business: 

  A motion was seconded and approved to close the Shelbina Lake on November 9th for regular season campers but keep the east side open for deer hunters through firearm season.

  A short discussion was had on the Wastewater Treatment Facility screw pumps needing maintenance. The lower bearing was replaced in 2008, and the upper bearing went out now needing replaced.

  A short discussion was held on the 2025 Demo Grant application. Fifer will have a meeting about the 2025 Demo Grant September 30, 2024 at 2:30 at the City Hall.

  A discussion on Drug Court will be held in April 2025.
