Truesdale Board of Aldermen approves preparations for Railroad Days at April 24 meeting

Posted

The Truesdale Board of Aldermen met on April 24 following a public hearing on a proposed motocross track. While the hearing took much of the public’s attention there were still measures to consider during the meeting. 

Aldermen heard from Police Chief Casey Doyle about a grant application for a new police car from the USDA. 

“It is not quite in pocket yet,” Doyle said. 

He continued saying they are waiting for the car to be available from the dealership as they are in line with a number of other law enforcement agencies. 

City Clerk Elsa Smith-Fernandez said that Michelle Bernth of Agape had reached out to meet with the city about the use of the MaryLou Center as a warming shelter this past winter. 

The board elected to extend an invitation to their next meeting to discuss how the facility worked as a warming shelter. 

The board also passed and approved a series of measures and applications for Railroad Days, coming up later in the summer. 

The first of which was a liquor license for Casa Tequila and the Tipsy Pony Party Bar to serve alcohol at the event. The Warren County Fair Board was also awarded a liquor license for the festival. 

They also approved agreements with the O’Fallon Sewer and M&M Golf Cars to provide sewage and transportation, respectively for the festival. 

They also discussed the continuing work of the city’s Planning and Zoning Commission that has been working with the Boonslick Regional Planning Commission to develop an updated comprehensive plan for the city. 

Smith-Fernandez said she was working to secure bids for the new comprehensive plan. 

There will be a public hearing held on the new comprehensive plan before the next Planning and Zoning Commission on May 15 at 5 p.m. at City Hall.

Truesdale, Railroad Days
