Members of the Houston City Council on Tuesday held a short open session before adjourning into a closed session to discuss the hiring of a city administrator.
The council okayed a final payment to Cary Stewart Construction of West Plains under a MoDOT program that resulted in the construction of additional hangars at the Houston Memorial Airport. Most of the outlay is paid using FAA dollars.
The city also will look to correct some drainage issues on the northern perimeter of the airport.
In other matters:
—Approved a one-year extension of its solid waste disposal contract with WCA. The terms are unchanged.
—Will study the addition of a baby swing at Emmett Kelly Park.
—Learned that no date for fall cleanup days has been set, but it likely will be in mid-October.
