Board Takes Steps To Bring System In Locally
Gallatin aldermen will pursue a MULES contract with Daviess County Central 911 and the Daviess County Sheriff’s Department.
According to information submitted by city clerk Hattie Rains, the aldermen unanimously approved a motion to run the MULES program through Daviess County Central 911 in Gallatin rather than Chillicothe, which is where the program is currently run through. The Missouri Uniform Law Enforcement System (MULES) is the state’s records custodian for criminal history data and provides an online public service to obtain certified criminal history records.
The Daviess County Central 911 Board agreed to provide MULES to the City of Gallatin for the amount of $1,800 per year and an additional fee of $1,200 per year for the annual licensing fee with the Daviess County Sheriff’s Department.
Police Chief Mark Richards also provided the aldermen with an incident report list.
Public Works Director Mark Morey told the aldermen that after receiving their new CAT skid loader last week, the old Kubota skid loader was posted online and sold in just 45 minutes for $45,000. Morey also provided a 2021 utility review of each department highlighting projects completed, utilities sold and work orders completed. The aldermen held a discussion on the new EPA mandate regarding lead water lines being inventoried and replaced in coming years.
In new business, the board reviewed the People Service O&M Report for Jan. 2022. City Administrator Lance Rains stated the pool manager position as well as several lifeguard positions still need to be filled for the 2022 pool season. Mowing bids for Dockery Park and city cemeteries are due to city hall by 4:30 p.m. on Monday, March 14. A motion was approved to renew the City of Gallatin park banner rental for $100.
In his report, Rains stated he had helped in the submission of the Bright Futures Grant application a week ago. The grant would allow mapping possibilities for the park and trails in the city. Rains has also submitted the Mainstreet Letter of Intent and plans to set a date with the Friends of Gallatin for the city review. He is waiting on the CDBG approval letter for the AMI metering system and hopes to have further information for a street project sometime in April. Rains has scheduled a tour of the Cupola building with interested individuals.
Alderman Dan McCann made the board aware of trash complaints he received from a resident on South Prospect St.
The meeting was adjourned just under an hour after it began.
