Staff described the annexation as necessary to allow the entire park to connect to city sewer and to eliminate noncompliant on‑site wastewater treatment facilities.

“Approximately half of the site… are served by city sewer that was authorized in a bulk sewer agreement prior to our 1997 annexation requirements,” Deputy City Manager and acting Community Development Director Matt Unrun told council. The other half is served by on‑site treatment systems that staff described as noncompliant with DNR requirements. Pat Zinner, Development Services Manager, said the annexation would place the site under city zoning (RMH, manufactured residential community) and subdivision regulations, require the removal of the noncompliant treatment facilities, and require private sewer mains and pump stations to connect to an existing sewer in the southwest corner of the site.

Staff said the park plan will serve as a preliminary plat and that final platting and construction permits will be required before further development. Sidewalk construction along New Haven and South Warren is expected to be included in a performance contract that accompanies final platting. Utilities serving the site are Boone Electric (electric) and Water Supply District No. 9 (water); portions of the adjacent road network are under MoDOT jurisdiction.

Speakers at the public hearing included engineer Christina Loubert (Loubert Engineering), who described plans to add pump stations and force mains to bring sewer into the city system; Woodstock Mobile Home LLC representatives, who said they had set aside $1,500,000 for capital improvements and had investor backing if additional funds are needed; and multiple residents who raised concerns about tenant notification, road conditions and the potential fiscal impacts on residents.

Council members asked about the city’s notification procedures; staff said the property had been posted and that property owners within 185 feet were mailed notices and that the matter had been advertised as required by state law. Several councilmembers noted the size of the tenant population and asked staff to consider broader tenant notification practices; staff said the annexation ordinance (Bill 150‑25) will return for council action on July 21 under old business. No vote was taken July 7.

Ending: The public hearing was closed with no vote; staff will bring Bill 150‑25 (annexation and permanent RMH zoning) to the July 21 council meeting and work with the applicant on final plat and infrastructure timing and performance agreements.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Columbia City Council Regular Meeting July 7, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The City of Columbia held a public hearing July 7 on a proposed voluntary annexation of a 36–37 acre, 208‑lot mobile home park at 3501 New Haven Road to allow full connection to city sewer and removal of noncompliant on‑site wastewater treatment facilities.","taxTitle","Columbia, Boone County, Missouri","taxId",2593,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6748092,"Central Missouri Humane Society asks Columbia for $5.5 million toward new shelter",211,193000,404000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5472936-431e1db77f789aff0f3a9ee1fab94645&start=193&end=404","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5472936-431e1db77f789aff0f3a9ee1fab94645/thumbnail_193000.jpg","/articles/6748092/Columbia/Boone-County/Missouri/Central-Missouri-Humane-Society-asks-Columbia-for-55-million-toward-new-shelter","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6748092-9b57a4e6421e0179855fcdf24dc752e6/orig.mp4?Expires=1771154067&Signature=oy01j7ZvrAIcWiiQs4SCFeSIRDFL53IUdt59Ax7NfvUhvGoq0wFhtRzXH3XLaSJOhNpEsfzaMEO-76aBe4VmnXRbaPL1Wm4NFFEsY0M8CtiaInQeJA-nbOkz4pZayBl4sTEbVGmKKDQbAs-m62IhY0KuMaTRdweEfgzNr879xb1yEuLcyRmjOxvn2H3v91dsfsyWHpF5kOR7XvybeGbNYFDOUR~4dAujn82aAuG0ZQ1Ty7aNgh1ZPq~1Aei185~wYnVDAJaZcXu0C7TXr6VAy~pwEG7EMNV9qOC3SdJIYDzoKHeKZTMQYYzuj8sGDtibmtbxMWrypt7GRhxGOPc7Cg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Representatives of the Central Missouri Humane Society asked the Columbia City Council on July 7 for a city contribution toward a planned animal care campus on East Brown School Road, saying the organization’s current building is beyond repair and that the shelter performs substantial municipal animal‑control functions.

“We are the only open‑admission animal shelter in Boone County,” said Michelle Casey, associate campaign manager at the Central Missouri Humane Society. She told council the shelter takes in every stray and most bite cases and often does so without sufficient resources. “This really isn't a CMHS project. It's really a community project, and we just cannot do this alone.”

Steve Smith, a member of the shelter’s board of directors, said construction estimates prepared by the project architect and contractor currently place the cost near $25,000,000 and that the Humane Society believes a fair city contribution—based on the use of the shelter by the city’s animal‑control division—would be roughly $5,500,000. Smith said the estimate reflects the time the shelter is required to hold animals brought in by animal control but does not include care beyond required holding periods.

Casey and Smith said the nonprofit has purchased a 17.5‑acre property on East Brown School Road and aims to build an animal care campus that would include hospital‑level facilities. Smith said private donors are expected to fund most of construction, but that private philanthropy is more likely to invest if the city shows a commensurate contribution.

Council did not take action on the request during the meeting. Rebecca Roslett, the city’s public health director, later described elements of the city’s existing contract with the Humane Society: in FY2026 the contract is budgeted at $229,890 and covers items such as kennel availability and some veterinary services. Roslett told council the city applies an annual CPI increase to the contract and that the county pays one‑third of the contract amount.

No formal city financing was proposed or approved at the meeting. Councilmembers and staff suggested follow‑up conversations and asked for information about the shelter’s campaign, fund sources and the scope of services it provides under the city contract.

Ending: The Humane Society’s representatives asked the council to explore funding options and to meet with the organization to discuss possible city contributions and alternatives if a direct appropriation is not feasible. The request will return to future budget or follow‑up discussions rather than as an immediate action on the July 7 agenda.","Representatives of the Central Missouri Humane Society asked the Columbia City Council on July 7 for a city contribution toward a planned animal care campus on East Brown School Road, saying the organization’s current building is beyond repair and that the shelter performs substantial municipal animal‑control functions.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6748081,"Columbia council adopts amendments to FY2025–29 consolidated plan, reallocates CDBG/HOME funds",717,2147000,2864000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5472936-431e1db77f789aff0f3a9ee1fab94645&start=2147&end=2864","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5472936-431e1db77f789aff0f3a9ee1fab94645/thumbnail_2147000.jpg","/articles/6748081/Columbia/Boone-County/Missouri/Columbia-council-adopts-amendments-to-FY202529-consolidated-plan-reallocates-CDBGHOME-funds","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6748081-e2c08f6b3fe3608a59e52f7bd26a770b/orig.mp4?Expires=1771154067&Signature=EKgaJURJjrlig~8WKB-BT44l6Jng8Snlu-oZbdydbSw2Gv31vRQ8dctO-Aeu~KwRTlYMU0Uo0lc90ABPmprpP4WYH5rEXWQh0~MuTnFgIbZDGuzlJK7XntgsAHG~KWfVRRunaUfjCwmCWLlAarpT0OpykiESbXMFh04diQRTBXIaNIZo8PYHhblnTdieamLxI6PmpORMd5IlOdYBOadCOxf~oYQ9rMcmUzxdYNaiSZs8kMubqMT3VB6Inv8-rPphFyFXunhcIe8y~sT8J~TsWSEp-BpcJd4L0eKS9JnM1fqeJn9qxXQlnl3tl1tmyD-HBdvXphXJmB2KUM-CKE-33Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Columbia City Council voted unanimously July 7 to adopt Resolution 97‑25, which amends the city’s FY2025–29 consolidated plan and FY2025 annual action plan to reflect the final Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME Investment Partnership (HOME) allocations and to reallocate program income and prior year funds.

Neighborhood Services Manager Lee Kotwitz told council the city’s confirmed FY25 allocations are $1,065,222 in CDBG funds and $493,820.06 in HOME funds. Because the confirmed amounts were larger than staff originally anticipated, Kotwitz said staff proposed adjustments that include additional funding for acquisition and demolition to support affordable housing development, home ownership assistance, CHODO support, and funding for sidewalk and neighborhood infrastructure projects.

Staff also proposed a change to the citizen participation plan to allow staff greater flexibility in reallocating funding between similar eligible activities without triggering a formal annual action plan amendment. The revised language would allow funding changes up to $125,000 to be moved between organizations within the same funding category; previously a 10% change triggered an amendment. Kotwitz said funding agreements would still require Housing and Community Development Commission and council approval.

Examples of reallocations presented to council included program income and unspent funds directed to: sidewalks on Pershing and a sidewalk at city‑owned lots on Sexton Road; renovation and repairs to six homes at Woodhaven; facility renovations for JobPoint and Access Arts; and affordable units at Providence Landing (Central Missouri Community Action project). Kotwitz also said $400,000 in HOME funds were being reallocated, including $200,000 designated for Columbus Housing Authority tenant‑based rental assistance and $200,000 designated for Providence Landing affordable units.

Pat Kelly of the Ridgeway Neighborhood Association spoke in support of reallocating $45,000 for a path through a newly created green space at Garth and Sexton.

Ending: Council adopted Resolution 97‑25 by roll call.
