Aldermen authorize application for Missouri DPS Blue Shield grant

The Ozark Board of Aldermen adopted Bill 3679 on the consent agenda, authorizing the city to apply for and, if awarded, accept a Missouri Department of Public Safety Blue Shield grant.
At the meeting the ordinance was read twice by title and a motion to adopt was made by Alderman Snyder and seconded by Alderman Metcalfe. A roll-call vote recorded six ayes and the motion carried; Bill 3679 became Ordinance 25-053.
The ordinance as read authorizes the city “to apply for, accept, and to do all things necessary for a Missouri Department of Public Safety Blue Shield grant.” The meeting record does not include grant amount, scope, or budgetary details; those would be handled by staff in subsequent filings if an award is made.
The ordinance was placed on the consent agenda, no public comment was recorded about the grant at the meeting, and city staff will proceed with application or acceptance steps according to usual grant-administration procedures if a grant is awarded.
