In a very brief special called meeting at 5:30pmCT, Monday, June 22, 2015, the Columbia City Council approved second readings for three budget related ordinances:
  1. An ordinance placing all revenues being received from the Occupational Tax/Payroll tax into the City's General Fund, retroactive to January 1, 2015. The vote, on a motion by Council Member Ron Rogers, with a second by Linda Waggener, was 3-2, with Council Member Craig Lasley voting for the ordinance, and Council Members Craig Dean and Charles Grimsley voting no. Council Member Mark Harris did not attend the meeting.

  2. An ordinance amending the current fiscal year budget, July 1, 2014 through June 30, 2015. The vote was 4-1, with Rogers, Dean, Lasley and Waggener voting for the ordinance and Council Member Charles Grimsley voting no.

  3. An ordinance adopting the City of Columbia Annual Budget for the coming Fiscal Year, July 1, 2015 through June 30, 2016. The vote was 4-1, with Rogers, Dean, Lasley and Waggener voting for the ordinance and Council Member Charles Grimsley voting no.
Mayor Curtis Hardwick presided. City Clerk Rhonda Loy recorded the meeting. City Attorney gave the second readings. Also present, in addition to previously named, were Sgt. Jr. Murphy of the Columbia Police Department, Adair County Deputy County Judge Executive Holly Grimsley, and members of the media.

Councilmen Ron Rogers, front, and Charles Grimsley cancelled each other's votes tonight at the Special Called Meeting of the Columbia City Council on all three issues before the council. Rogers voted for all three and was joined on all three by Council Members Linda Waggener and Craig Lasley each time, and by Craig Dean on two of the proposals. Council Member Dean voted with Grimsley in opposing the plan to put all the money from the Payroll tax into the General Fund rather than allocating to special groups. The Payroll Tax is now projected to bring in $800,000 per year. - EW

School Countdown: Leave it the way it is

Comments re article 75994 Sena Schaeffer Why not put Countdown a click away

Fay McKinley writes:
Why not leave it the way it is. If you don't like it, do what I do, and just skip over it. Do you always read everything in print. As a former teacher, I used to both look forward to the beginning of school and also dreaded it. I say, let EW put it the way he wants to put it. - Fay McKinley
Thanks, and good thought: Since the time is fast closing in on the start of school, we may leave it the way it is - for this year. But we'll be adding in two, maybe three Big Fun Events between now and August 6, 2015. But next year, we'll likely hold off until closer to time for school to start before posting a countdown. - EW
