The Jefferson City Council met Tuesday night in regular session.

The Council heard an update about a three year Diversity Project from Greene County Development Corporation President Sid Jones. Carroll native Carlos Arguello is the owner of Latino IQ, which seeks to educate and work with different entities to have Latinos in the workforce. Jones mentioned that they would be back to ask for financial support from the City at a later date. The Council then approved the quarterly funding request for GCDC.

The Council approved selling 1006 North Walnut Street to a private citizen, following a public hearing on the topic. The Council then set a public hearing for December 14th at 5:30pm to review the wastewater treatment plant project and an application for a state Revolving Loan Fund. They also set November 23rd at 5:30pm as another public hearing to rezone property at 704 West Lincoln Way from residential single family to residential multi family because of an individual wanting to build a duplex. 

Next, the Council approved the first reading of an ordinance to establish voting precincts. The amended ordinance would reduce the number of precincts from three to two, with the dividing boundary of Highway 4. The Council also approved Autra Architecture for $2,000 for phase one of the design process for a family restroom at the swimming pool house.
