Staff said the bank balance appears about $75,000 higher than the city's internal books for the utility transaction side and that the discrepancy is related to data migrated from the old system.

Why it matters: The audit delay affects official financial statements and the timing for hiring a finance director; staff said the discrepancy is with internal utility transactions rather than individual customer accounts.

Staff said the utility customer accounts are correct and the problem appears to be an internal bank transaction related to the electric utility. The administration said auditors were scheduled to begin next week but the start was postponed until staff can reconcile the books; city personnel are continuing to generate other fund reports and are actively recruiting a director of finance.

Staff also reported on code-enforcement demolitions: the first round included two voluntary demolitions and five involuntary demolitions; staff said four of those properties were subsequently sold at courthouse steps. The city said it will proceed with a second round of demolitions and has additional involuntary demolitions pending.

Other staff updates: the city said it received site plans related to a real-estate acquisition that may add park ground, and the council was introduced to Tammy Young, the new assistant public works director, who previously worked at MoDOT and will take part in project management and contracting.

Council members asked procedural questions but recorded no policy votes on these status items. Staff said they will return updates on reconciliation and audit timing as work continues.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Lebanon City Council Meeting - Sept. 8th, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","City staff said the FY 2025 audit start was delayed because of a reconciliation issue tied to the utility data conversion; staff also reported completed demolition activity, site plans for a park acquisition and introduced a new assistant public works director.","taxTitle","Lebanon City, Laclede County, Missouri","taxId",72282,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":75,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":76,"_41":77,"_43":78,"_45":79,"_46":80,"_48":81,"_50":82,"_52":83,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":84,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":85,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":67,"_71":72,"_73":72},6128525,"Council approves asphalt overlay on Westland Road tied to stormwater reconstruction",70,1251000,1321000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5750698-b7fafa0ad24f486eade806bffc97d5b8&start=1251&end=1321","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5750698-b7fafa0ad24f486eade806bffc97d5b8/thumbnail_1251000.jpg","/articles/6128525/Lebanon-City/Laclede-County/Missouri/Council-approves-asphalt-overlay-on-Westland-Road-tied-to-stormwater-reconstruction","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6128525-a9121dd0fdad4aea208f74571948b914/orig.mp4?Expires=1771163383&Signature=fKYOjtqO0jxdGxjB3bInqAHJdZnCDrlQmqIWq~aA7Kf9r2h4bQk3ilZLQabVbIwtJQaXL~fyv5uIHBBlEFlzNgk0Ll-XebxlAM2i5HnBi-Jyf-ZD2Q10lQ~Db-0NobKvWERvOVEjijuC2UtteCTZsOYofpy-vSyEpNHU~45Qas85z7wFGaqltlbFvKEUt3qBdsWlPAaB8UgKVTngyjLdMIFxzM5FcM5vI5GlaVXPSNittwsWEo3VFdiuyxj-SiB7AO8KOc9ND7H80WxT3v3Qcmy~flKeO3kz06TxmIptH7l9krQ-~zho6JsBNNNr3I7JDVX72YMfqSu-zd5H8VsLww__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Lebanon City Council approved an ordinance authorizing an asphalt overlay project on Westland Road that ties into an ongoing stormwater reconstruction. Staff said 580 feet of Westland Road is being reconstructed as part of the stormwater work and that the remaining stretch toward Elm Street — about 700 feet — will receive a two-inch mill-and-overlay when the stormwater project is completed.

Why it matters: Combining the overlay with stormwater reconstruction avoids duplicative pavement work and reduces future disruptions for residents on the route.

A city staff member told the council: \"The 580 feet of Westland Road is being reconstructed with the stormwater project ... the remainder of that portion toward Elm Street, a little over 700 feet, have a 2 inch millimeter overlay.\" The council approved the ordinance on roll call; Council Bill 69-11 became Ordinance 71-53.

Council did not add additional conditions to the motion on record. Staff said they are available to answer technical questions and will proceed with necessary documents to complete the overlay once the stormwater contractor reaches the paving phase.

The ordinance was recorded on second reading with affirmative roll-call votes and is now authorized for implementation by the public works department.","Council authorized an asphalt overlay for the reconstructed portion of Westland Road and a 2-inch mill overlay for the adjoining segment toward Elm Street.",{"_33":87,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":88,"_41":89,"_43":90,"_45":91,"_46":92,"_48":93,"_50":94,"_52":95,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":96,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":97,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":67,"_71":72,"_73":72},6128529,"Council approves contract to convert stormwater CAD maps to ArcGIS and create inspection templates",88,1767000,1855000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5750698-b7fafa0ad24f486eade806bffc97d5b8&start=1767&end=1855","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5750698-b7fafa0ad24f486eade806bffc97d5b8/thumbnail_1767000.jpg","/articles/6128529/Lebanon-City/Laclede-County/Missouri/Council-approves-contract-to-convert-stormwater-CAD-maps-to-ArcGIS-and-create-inspection-templates","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6128529-814c228c563d9b6792e3dd8e250cbfd9/orig.mp4?Expires=1771163383&Signature=VzAgvl6oRU7WTCNU~WRJZm7ZRIklTgPv45AHdELbVo37TNCXNoMdy92a6mKs2XBdNfdVoEvpyNRlnFcghKqOUJJH4~C8OrLmDXHyyOm5084w675JpdkU6ZKPsGSLDi8xpbePd8AGIG3VXNXwo8lhPn5VwWgd590oen9nTRtaki9DDvB9SVdUdJgOOS1e8l34jlGnGLKXNcXw6d10Tvn29ygVNiG0sfZAVdt26og-O5HEOlKgfD-stciRNTAZqyOI~i8JrIAk2sR04Sc~onmB1MYF~zl384hEwvd8jS0R4JJS2iK5hEiHYkeToylSsIlZGoGlaiAzzUCKUR6XxhSg0A__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Lebanon City Council approved a professional-services task order to import the city’s stormwater CAD drawings into ArcGIS Online and to develop digital inspection templates and asset mapping. Staff said the work will allow the city to manage stormwater infrastructure the same way it manages other public works assets.

Why it matters: State and federal stormwater requirements increasingly require documented inspections and maintenance; converting CAD to GIS and adding inspection forms will support compliance and asset management.

City staff said the work is under a previously approved master agreement with the consultant and that the firm specializes in CAD-to-GIS conversions and stormwater asset mapping. Staff described the deliverables as geospatial alignment of infrastructure, inspection templates, and guidance for field crews to capture photographs, invert elevations, and material types.

Council approved the ordinance authorizing services with Surveying and Mapping LLC; Council Bill 69-15 became Ordinance 71-57. Staff said inspection scheduling and maintenance-date tracking will be part of the implementation and that crews will take photographs and collect field data under the new system.

The council recorded the vote with affirmative roll calls; staff will oversee procurement and project initiation under the existing master agreement.","The council approved a task order with Surveying and Mapping LLC to convert stormwater CAD drawings into ArcGIS and establish digital inspection forms as part of stormwater system management.",{"_33":99,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":100,"_41":101,"_43":102,"_45":103,"_46":104,"_48":105,"_50":106,"_52":107,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":108,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":109,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":67,"_71":72,"_73":72},6128534,"Lebanon council approves multiple equipment purchases for street and electric departments",340,1343000,1683000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5750698-b7fafa0ad24f486eade806bffc97d5b8&start=1343&end=1683","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5750698-b7fafa0ad24f486eade806bffc97d5b8/thumbnail_1343000.jpg","/articles/6128534/Lebanon-City/Laclede-County/Missouri/Lebanon-council-approves-multiple-equipment-purchases-for-street-and-electric-departments","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6128534-78bbf0a87448be5d19a4ea169d037a6e/orig.mp4?Expires=1771163383&Signature=hjHV6zZfkj-fddD2p5NNZV1LPn5kwSDpmiHU8cF16gfwl54XJDUZJMipLwHNm6rl~5P~Zg~xPkqFiFAsKCtm2IcIbFVfhPyeOrR5IeHeYcce15mGIk77HqNOPX0hxFTrohpPwccyV36Cs1p-JBEOkGjecWNMv~sQXjWz8xI3fSTmb9zUyls3wESRP5nxqOVdEMDQ5m9RbfzKVeh~viz8WiF0Akoiax7kIv8YHs0~mi7DQbphuYbAz~DibJWtrDnz7h4gBVwwshbSk8sXMsNBbLhF7MeowxAXpKgxQyYqVXezLC68K1SarANv-krj1jzgJjkLyZ6hWi9raPN9Ovyf0g__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Lebanon City Council approved a package of capital equipment purchases for the street and electric departments, authorizing staff to execute contracts and declare older units surplus. City staff said the purchases were planned in the capital improvement program and budget.

Why it matters: The equipment replaces units city staff described as at the end of their useful lives and are intended to maintain service levels for street maintenance and electric utility operations.

Details from staff: For the Street Department, staff requested purchase of a Caterpillar excavator with a tilt ditching bucket. \"This is, total with a, tilt ditching bucket is 265,000,\" a city staff member said. Staff said sale of the existing 2005 Case excavator should offset part of the cost. The council approved the purchase and declared the 2005 case excavator surplus; Council Bill 69-12 became Ordinance 71-54.

For the Electric Department, staff requested several Sourcewell contract purchases from Altec and Fabick Cat. Staff described an Altec digger-derrick truck to replace a 2011 unit; staff said lead times remain long and vehicles are often ordered as a ‘‘spot in line.’’ The council approved the digger-derrick purchase on second reading (Council Bill 69-13 became Ordinance 71-55).

Staff also presented a Sourcewell quote for an Altec AM55 material-handling bucket truck priced at $295,723 to replace a 2007 unit; the council approved that purchase (Council Bill 69-14 became Ordinance 71-56). Another bucket truck purchase for the electric department was likewise approved and the older 2007 bucket truck declared surplus.

Council discussion focused on lead times and procurement method. Staff said several trucks have 18–24 month lead times and that purchasing secures a production slot. The ordinances passed on majority roll-call votes; no councilmember registered opposition on the records provided.

Implementation notes: Staff will work with Sourcewell contract vendors (Altec, Fabick Cat/Fabick CAT) to finalize specifications, confirm delivery schedules, and surplus processes for retired units.","Council approved ordinances to buy a Caterpillar excavator, a Digger-Derrick truck, a material-handling bucket truck and a bucket truck, and to surplus older units.",{"_33":111,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":112,"_41":113,"_43":114,"_45":115,"_46":116,"_48":117,"_50":118,"_52":119,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":120,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":121,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":67,"_71":72,"_73":72},6128541,"Lebanon council accepts donation of historic Munger Moss motel sign for Route 66 centennial renovation",135,1929000,2064000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5750698-b7fafa0ad24f486eade806bffc97d5b8&start=1929&end=2064","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5750698-b7fafa0ad24f486eade806bffc97d5b8/thumbnail_1929000.jpg","/articles/6128541/Lebanon-City/Laclede-County/Missouri/Lebanon-council-accepts-donation-of-historic-Munger-Moss-motel-sign-for-Route-66-centennial-renovation","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6128541-53e2179837facde91e20b3e573419284/orig.mp4?Expires=1771163383&Signature=XBosvh-z-5P4uFcmJ5ca6FTu1-Et6kWdIgTKzfr4J-MrHM6nKo1dc6BakRKWV4G6-Al-LZGqOqkw03d7ahjT5PcByWl40VuHBMXsGvEfsdYbayz9BjSWk3xf4hJ2VpT277WPMGDxSp9FNsgcKrt9~JQ~B4wMyQB7GeqmmNySgOvqJ4FP2OrJn9P1wR4442jg2Qrmlrk6r1IiM-aaYo1mbPOl44UD4sxgfF8Agaa4ytazrbkJ~mL-AzvQ5lDDeBKcxkemytFRgmIDFJQDNlb6KX~uW7cJsOm87iUjBfSiR~qI65R1ldrwVZAUq-KNlKIuv22x~SwlHEouvxyNamt7xA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Lebanon City Council voted unanimously to accept donation of the historic Munger Moss Motel sign on U.S. Route 66 and approved moving forward with renovations. The council adopted the ordinance accepting the sign donation after staff said the donor has signed paperwork and indicated willingness to help pay for renovations.

Why it matters: The sign is earmarked for renovation timed to the Route 66 centennial events beginning Jan. 1, and city officials said restoring the sign will contribute to the city’s Route 66 visibility and downtown streetscape.

City staff said they obtained the signed donation documents and will work through details of the renovation and any financial contribution from the donor. The ordinance accepting the donation passed on second reading after roll-call votes in favor; Council Bill 69-16 became Ordinance 71-58.

Councilmembers did not request additional substantive conditions during the meeting. Staff said more paperwork remains to complete the transfer and that renovation planning will proceed in the coming months with the goal of having visible progress before the centennial celebrations.

The council approved the ordinance by voice and roll-call process; no objections were recorded. The administration said the sign will remain at its current site and that the city and donor will finalize financial arrangements for renovation as part of the implementation process.

The council’s action transfers ownership of the sign to the city and enables staff to begin contracting and budgeting work tied to the sign’s restoration and maintenance.","The Lebanon City Council voted to accept donation of the Munger Moss Motel sign and said city staff will work with the donor on renovating the sign ahead of the Route 66 centennial.","actionData","errors"]
