City administrator announces winter advisory and hotline; board moves briefly into closed session

City administration used the Jan. 21 work session to announce a winter-weather advisory campaign, share a centralized hotline for residents to report road or service concerns, and describe how public-works staff will monitor and respond.

The city administrator welcomed staff back from leave, asked residents to heed winter-weather messaging and asked board members to share advisory posts with neighborhood HOAs. The administrator said public-works supervisor Joe Morris would receive hotline messages and notify the city's contractor to address hot spots.

Board members discussed neighborhood trouble spots like sharp turns and short hills and asked for clearer notification processes; one member said they had received reports after the fact and wanted proactive hotspot reporting.

At the end of the work session Alder Brunette moved and Alder McAdenheimer seconded a motion "to hold a closed session pursuant to RSMO 610.021 under section 1." The board voted in favor and moved into closed session for a few minutes.

No substantive outcomes from the closed session were announced in the transcript.
