The Greene County Board of Supervisors met yesterday in regular session.

At the beginning of the meeting, Jefferson City Administrator Mike Palmer made a presentation about the City’s Local Option Sales and Services Tax for the November general election to extend it to the year 2027.

He said the City uses its 1% sales tax, which generates about $360,000, to repair curb and gutter, sidewalks, manholes, street signs, seal coating alleyways and other streets, putting asphalt on roads and converting the final three miles of dirt roads into blacktop or concrete streets.  He pointed out that on the ballot, residents will be asked to approve a slight change in the City’s language to 100% LOSST funds to be used for the repair, maintenance, replacement and improvement of Jefferson infrastructure.  No action was taken since it was a presentation.

Supervisor Dawn Rudolph reported that the Mississippi and Missouri Divide-Raccoon River Recreational Development is in the final stages of the dissolution and are looking to disperse the final $2,700 to each of the four remaining counties of Greene, Guthrie, Sac and Carroll.

The Board also approved several agenda items including abating $210 in property taxes for 2013 for the purchase of 102 Howard Street in Rippey by the Rippey United Methodist Church to turn it into a parking lot, a retirement resolution for Doug Sukovaty for his 35-plus years of service to the County’s Secondary Roads Department and policy changes to the county employee handbook regarding vacation time was also approved.
