The city previously met in a special session April 22 for training on Missouri's Sunshine Law. The Sunshine Law has been on the books since 1973, and provides guidelines on public meetings, including which sessions are open or closed, the keeping and availability of public records, and handling records requests by the public and media.
Mayor Charry McCann and council members David Bauer, Judi Colter and Calvin Perry were in attendance.
The training session was led by Missouri Director of Sunshine Law Jay Turner, and was followed by a work session to review 2021-2022 audit letters from KPM Accounting.
