Gallatin City Council Approve and Table Ordinances

The Gallatin City Coun cil held their regular monthly meeting on Tues day, October 11. Those present were Mayor Bar bara Ballew, Board Pres ident Dan McCann, Aldermen Dan Lockridge, Carl McBee and Steve Evans, City Administrator Lance Rains, Public Works Director Mark Morey, Po lice Chief Richards, RG Curtis, John Northcutt, Courtney Schwartz and Mike Luna. The meeting was called to order by Mayor Ballew. The mi nutes, transaction report and the accounts payable in the amount of $185,194.58 were approved.

Public comments were made by the representa tives from Northcutt Prop erties on Ordinance 1291-22 and their disagree ments with the proposed policy. They do not feel as though they should be a cosigner on a utility bill/agreement with a renter because they are afraid that they will end up with delin quent bills more often.

Further discussion was held with the actual amounts of delinquencies of three of the apartment complexes. The council took their concerns into ad visement.

Police Chief Richards provided an incident report list and also reported there are currently two dogs in the pound that are available for adoption. Chief Rich ards reported that training he attended in September was on biohazards, terror ism as well as firearms training. Two officers have asked to purchase the serv ice firearms from the City of Gallatin if the city enters into a contractual agree ment for policing with the county. The council tabled the conversation for now.

Officer Austin Bonnett asked Chief Richards if it would be okay for him to continue to be the Chaplain at åthe council meetings if they contract policing. The council would be grateful if Officer Bonnet were to continue his work as Chap lain in the future for the

City of Gallatin. A discussion was held by Chief Richards on how officers in years past pur chased their weapons through the City of Galla tin. The city had to own the guns for at least a year be fore the officers would be able to “own” them. They would take a payment from their paychecks to use to wards the purchase of the weapon.

Public Works Director Morey told the board that the second round of the chip and seal project has been concluded. Morey at tended the MPUA Annual Conference October 5-7 and the Gallatin staff at tended a metering class on October 11. He also re ported there was a water main break at Van Buren and Clay two weeks ago. It was repaired immediately after the leak was found.

In old business, the board decided to table the ordinance for the bill to amend the ordinance relat ing to utility deposits and joint liability. The board

wants to obtain more infor mation from the AMI sys tem before making a decision.

The election and swearing in of new City Clerk Crystal Dorrel, along with adding her name to the signature cards, was tabled until the next meet ing. Her official start date was October 12, 2022.

Jeremy Dungy’s con struction issues were dis cussed. A contractor hit an underground electric line while working on the prop erty. The line was damaged enough that a new line had to be installed underground by a private contractor. The area was flagged by Galla tin staff and the contractor admitted that he continued

to work after his crew knew that the line had been damaged. The issue was tabled until they receive an invoice for the electrical re pair work.

City Administrator Rains informed the council that the AMI grant has been administratively closed by CDBG, and he is awaiting the final audit to be closed. The Sheriff’s contract was briefly discussed and tabled.

The city council in formed Rains that he can contact the Park Board to get roof repairs on the park bathrooms completed. The

estimated cost of repairs is $379.80. He said he would contact Ira Sloan to see if the park board wants to take care of contacting con tractors.

Councilman Evans had some public comments that he received from Nita Cragg. Mrs. Cragg told Evans that the Police De partment has helped her with a few issues at her home that she was very grateful for. She hoped that if Gallatin goes to the con tractual agreement with the Daviess County Sheriff’s Department for policing that those services would still be in place. It is the un derstanding of the council that the Sheriff’s depart ment would continue to do

those services.

Councilman Evans dis tributed his letter of resig nation effective November 1, 2022. He related in his letter that he felt that a new set of eyes, enthusiasm, and a different perspective to keep things fresh was needed. He also hopes that Gallatin can develop an ac tive business group to pro mote Gallatin for beautification, residential growth and business diver sification of needed serv ices and manufacturing can become more active in Gal latin.

The council adjourned to an executive session with no announcements made.

WENDELL LENHART

BE AN INFORMED VOTER

Voters will head to the polls on Tuesday, Nov. 8th for the general election. In addition to electing county and state officials, there will be several issues on the ballot concerning changes to the State of Missouri Constitution.

Those proposed changes are being printed in their entirety in the newspaper so voters can read the proposals in depth as much as they wish to.

In addition, the Missouri Secretary of State’s of fice publishes a “Fair Ballot Language” interpreta tion of the issues.

Amendment 1

Amends the constitution to allow the state treas urer to invest in municipal securities. It is esti mated the state could earn an additional $2 million per year in interest and local governmental entities could earn an additional $34,000 per year.

My take: This would be good for the state, I be lieve, with more interest revenue earned with little additional risk.

Amendment 3

Would amend the constitution to allow for the use of recreational marijuana by adults over the age of 21. It would also allow individuals with cer tain marijuana-related convictions to petition to be released from prison or probation and parole and have their records expunged. It would also impose a six percent tax that would go to benefit various programs.

My take: I’m guessing this issue will pass with overwhelming support in the metropolitan areas of the state. My biggest concern is that people are being stopped and arrested for driving under the influence now (both alcohol and drugs) and that is only going to increase in the future. Those ar rests are happening during all hours of the day and not just overnight.

Amendment 4

Increases the minimum funding for a police force established by the state board of police com missioners. The only police force this affects is in Kansas City.

My take: This is an ongoing political struggle be tween the Kansas City city council and the State of Missouri. The local officials don’t like being overseen by the state. Doesn’t really affect our area.

Amendment 5

Would establish the Missouri Department of the National Guard as a new state agency with the adjutant general appointed by the governor and approved by the senate. Very little financial im pact.

My take: It would appear to be a formality to make the national guard a full-fledged state agency.

Constitutional Convention Question

If passed, would require the governor to call an election of delegates to serve at a convention for the purpose of revising or amending the Missouri Constitution. Any changes would then be put to a vote of the people for their consideration.

My take: Although I see good reasons to make it more difficult to amend the state constitution, without knowing how this process would work there’s no telling what could come out of a consti tutional convention. There could be some really radical ideas put up to a vote of the people and unknown outcomes. Makes me nervous.

A sample ballot will appear in the next two is sues of the newspaper so you can study how you will vote and be an informed voter in the up com ing election.

GUEST

Capitol Perspectives: Missouri Voters Versus Their Elected Officials

by Phill Brooks

There is an issue on Missouri's statewide general election ballot that I will be watching to see if Missou rians continue a trend of rejecting the decisions of their elected officials.

It is the initiative petition proposal to legalize pos session and sale of marijuana.

That's an idea that has made no headway in the legislature.

In recent years, Missourians have approved other ballot issues that had been blocked in the General As sembly.

By nearly a two-to-one margin in 2018, Missouri voters legalized medical marijuana.

This came after the legislature had blocked similar medical marijuana measures for years.

Nearly two years later, Missouri voters expanded eligibility for government-funded Medicaid health-care coverage after legislative inaction on the idea.

Even after voter approval of Medicaid expansion, the Republican-controlled legislature refused to fund the voter-approved expansion until a Missouri Su preme Court decision held funding for expansion was a constitutional mandate.

Another example of this conflict is the 2018 adop tion by Missouri voters of the "Clean Missouri" consti tutional amendment to change the state legislative redistricting process and impose limits on lobbyists and campaign contributions after years of legislative inaction.

Although two years later Missouri voters approved by a narrow margin a constitutional amendment sub mitted by the legislature to remove the state demog rapher process in redistricting.

November's election result on marijuana legaliza tion might provide an indication of whether this pattern of disharmony between Missouri voters and legis lators continues.

Legalizing pot is substantially different than allow ing marijuana use only for a medical purpose with a

prescription.

There is, of course, a major difference between legislative actions or inactions and Missouri voting decisions on public policy issues.

Making a decision on a complex and controversial issue raises a number of potential ramifications for legislators.

How you vote on a ballot issue is private.

But public legislative actions on controversial is sues can effect future votes of constituents, support from colleagues, support from statewide government leaders and contributions from both state and national special interests.

Some of these special interest organizations have long memories about a legislator's voting record.

Beyond that, as we have seen, a public legislative roll call vote can be used in the future for negative at tack advertisements against the legislator by political opponents.

Further, there also are many more substantive public policy factors for legislators to consider.

The unintended consequences or governmental costs of legislative proposals can generate intense legislative scrutiny.

These complicated ramifications of a proposal get far less attention, if any, in statewide media cam paigns that tend to focus on simplistic arguments fi nanced by state and national special interests both for and against ballot issues.

Unfortunately, these media advertisements usually do not provide a balanced presentation of both sides of an issue.

I have no doubt that the framers of Missouri's Con stitution established the ballot-issue imitative and ref erendum petition processes to give Missouri voters a way to get around legislative inaction or unpopular ac tion.

But I'm also sure that decades ago, our state con stitutional authors did not realize the growth of special interest money that would finance simplistic massmedia advertising to influence voter decisions.

Utility Committee Discusses Lead Service Line Policy

The Trenton Utility Committee met on Tues day, October 18, at City Hall. Those present were City Administrator Ron Urton, City Clerk Cindy Simpson, Comptroller Ro setta Marsh and committee members Steve Reid, Kenny Ricketts, Brad Grif fin, Bob Hutchison and Danny Brewer. Those join ing the meeting via zoom were Mayor Linda Crooks and councilman John Dolan. The meeting was called to order and each de partment head gave their respective reports on what is happening in the depart ments.

Water/WasteWater Dis trict Supervisor Kenny Ricketts reported that the flushing of water hydrants should be completed next week and there have been no issues with any of them. He reported that two new employees have been hired and that puts him at just one man shy of a full crew.

Water Plant Supervisor Steve Reid reported that they are going to maintain the conversion of the free chlorine until November 1. He reports that his depart ment is fully staffed.

Wastewater Plant Super visor Bob Hutchinson re ported that his department is doing routine mainte nance and getting the mower and tractor cleaned so the mower can be put away for the winter. Dis infection is going good and the control panels on the lift stations have been in stalled and are working well. They will most likely begin spreading at the end of this week.

Electric District Super visor Brad Griffin reported that they are still changing out meters. The tree trimmer contractors will be coming within the next two weeks to begin trimming.

Comptroller Rosetta Marsh reported that all fi nancials are on target. The

audit had arrived for re view and final draft. New rates for water and sewer will be on the new billing cycle going out.

City Administrator Ron Urton reported that DNR has given approval of the construction permit on the clarifier modification so the contractors are now working on the specs. Work is also continuing on the river pump station.

The committee is dis cussing a policy to put in place and take to the coun cil regarding the lead serv ice lines. EPA requires that if a lead service line is found it must be replaced from the main to the house, however the utility com pany is running into issues with crossing private prop erty. A policy is being drafted that if TMU finds a lead line they would re place the line from the main to the property line. The owners of the property would be notified that they need to replace the line from the property line to the house and TMU would furnish the materials at cost to the owners and they would have to find contrac tors to do the work.

There are some issues involving meters being lo cated in basements of houses and owners/renters not allowing the utility workers in to replace the meters. The utility commit tee has decided a policy needs to be created that would allow the city to place doorhanges on the doors of those residences a maximum of three times asking for the owner/renter to contact the city in re gards to allowing access to the basement for changing out the water meter. If there is no response to the door

hangers then a letter will be sent to the owner/renter. They will be given 30 days to respond to the letter and if no response then TMU will place a meter in the yard of the residence at the owners cost. The bill would go to whomever is respon sible for the water at the residence. If TMU en counters a lead service line during this placement they will replace the line from the main to the meter and inform the owner/renter so that they may replace the line from the meter to the house. This policy will be brought to the City Council on Monday for approval.

TMU has been ap proached by the water dis tricts asking for a cheaper rate of water from the city while the district is flush ing their lines. There are currently five rate stops for water usage and the district is in the fourth rate stop. TMU has decided they could take anything used over that rate and subtract the production costs off of that rate and give it as a credit to the water district.

City Administrator Ron Urton said they could try this for a year and then re evaluate.

Discussion was held on the MPUA Master Service Agreement which would allow the city to do a serv ice agreement to allow for a crew to help in case of an emergency. This would allow the city not to have to hire contractors if there was a major emergency and would allow for mutual aid to be available if needed. The committee agreed to take the agree ment to the city council for approval.

The meeting was ad journed.

North Central Missouri Children’s Advocacy Center

The North Central Mis souri Children’s Advo cacy Center provides services in ten counties, including Grundy. It pro vides a trauma sensitive response to allegations of child abuse to children and their non-offending caretakers and assists in vestigators in obtaining information that helps de termine if a crime involv ing a child has been committed.

Children involved in active investigations of child abuse receive a fo rensic interview, trauma informed counseling, medical examination re ferrals, case reviews, case tracking, and advocacy and support. Many of the services are from case ini tiation until case disposi tion.

The organization uti lizes a multi-disciplinary team approach to cases of child abuse that essen tially holds all agencies responsible for respond ing to a case of child abuse accountable for making decisions in the best interest of child vic tims.

Teams include prose cutors, law enforcement officers, Children’s Divi sion personnel, juvenile officers, medical profes sionals, mental health pro viders, victim advocates, and Children’s Advocacy Center staff. The North Central Missouri Chil dren’s Advocacy Center is nationally accredited by the National Children’s Alliance and is a member of the Missouri KidsFirst Network of Child Advo cacy Centers.

places a number of state and federal guidelines and requirements on opera tions.

Verna Kelsey, Ex ecutive Director, said, “We are nationally ac credited, but since our services are referred by specific agencies, and we are a specific population covered by a high degree of confidentiality, the ma jority don’t know we exist of what we do.

“The most important thing we do is participate in the process of protect ing communities from those that would cause harm to children, assist in the process of protecting children, help families heal from trauma, and promote justice.”

“The Advocacy Center is a statewide movement, ever-changing, we are Accredited by the Na tional Children’s Alliance, and they set very high standards for what we do and how we do it. The Standards change every five years, focusing on improvement in response to child abuse cases. One of the Standards listed was to be a ChildFriendly Facility.”

Children’s Advocacy Center would like to focus on primarily funding sta bility to continue the pro grams they have established, add an ad ditional trauma trained mental health provider, expand to offer Preven tion/Education programs to schools and com munities, and bring in more educational/training opportunities for the pro fessionals tasked with prosecution, investiga tion, and protection of children.

Verna said, “There is plenty of opportunity for growth as described in the things we would like to accomplish. Existing in a rural community with limited resources makes growth slow and diffi cult.”

The advocacy has also cross-trained employees to the extent possible to understand what it takes for other positions within the agency. Forensic In terview Specialists must now participate in re gional and statewide peer reviews of their work.

Gallatin dominates Battle of Highway Six

Match up falls short of the hype

By: Libby Endicott Sports Reporter

The Battle of the Bulldogs took place last Friday at C.F Russel Stadium. Tren ton came into the game 7-0 ranked #10 in Class 2, while Gallatin was 7-0 ranked #5 in Class 1. This game determined who would be the Grand River Conference Champion and help both teams in their district seedings. Unfor tunately for the Trenton Bulldogs, Gallatin came out on top and took the traveling bulldog trophy home again for the seventh year in a row.

The Pink out game started after the Gallatin Bulldogs won the coin toss and chose to defer. Trenton Bulldogs then decided to receive first with Gallatin defending the endzone.

Trenton was unable to make much ground with their first possession of the game. After a stop made by Gallatin’s Keegan McBroom, Trenton then decided to punt the ball.

Even after a flag was called against Gallatin, Trenton was unable to have enough for the first down. Gallatin took over on the Trenton 48-yard line.

Gabe Stark was able to have a quarterback sack for Trenton. Which caused the ball to get loose but the Gallatin Bulldogs were able to recover. The Galla tin Bulldogs quarterback, and wide receiver Isaac Bird connected to score a Gallatin touchdown. With the extra point attempt good, Gallatin led by seven.

Trenton got the ball back and was able to make a lit tle ground by a pass to Aiden Weyer. Trenton then

punted again, and Gallatin was able to return the ball in a long run to the Trenton 20-yardline.

On Gallatin’s fourth down with three yards to go they received a penalty flag, and the fourth down was re peated. Another touchdown was made by the Gallatin Bulldogs with a pass play from Quarterback Peyton Baker to Payton Feiden.

The extra point was made, and Gallatin continued their lead 14-0.

Trenton Bulldogs, still un able to gain enough ground for some points, punted the ball again.

On a play by Gallatin the Bulldogs fumbled the ball leading to Trenton’s Tucker Otto to recover the ball on the Gallatin 39-yard line. A False start flag pulled Tren ton backwards, but quarter back Coleman Griffin made a pass to Mason Ron gey to end up on the Galla tin 11-yardline. Trenton then unfortunately fumbled the ball which was recov ered by Gallatin and ended the quarter.

Gallatin started the second quarter with the ball. They scored again by a play

made by Draven Wright. Their extra point stood good.

Trenton got the ball back to the Trenton 34-yard line. Gallatin was able to get a sack against the Trenton Bulldogs. The Trenton Bulldogs had a 12-yard run by Sam Gibson. This led to Trenton having a first down. On a pass attempt to Gabe Novak a pass inter ference was called against Gallatin. Trenton had a fumble that was picked up by the Gallatin Bulldogs. Gallatin then stood on their own 45-yard line. Trenton had a flag called on them bringing Gallatin forward. A pass to Boston Bell for Gallatin got them to the Trenton 15-yard line. This allowed Gallatin to score another touchdown. Their extra point attempt was no good. Gallatin led 27-0.

Gallatin kicked off to Tren ton, but the ball soon re turned to them. Trenton’s punt ended up on the Gal latin 5-yard line. Trenton defense was able to cause Gallatin to have a loss on their possession. This didn’t stop Gallatin from scoring a touchdown. The

Gallatin Bulldogs at tempted a two-point con version but a flag against them changed their minds to attempt an extra point. It was a no go, but Gallatin continued their lead 33-0. During a Trenton second down, Gallatin intercepted the ball.

A few more runs back and forth between the two teams and a few flags called didn’t stop Gallatin from scoring again. This time it was a quarterback keeper by P. Baker, which led to the Gallatin Bulldogs having 40 points.

Trenton ended the half with a completed pass to Otto to gain some ground, but not enough for them to score in the first half.

The second half started with Trenton kicking the ball to Gallatin. Plays ex changed back and forth be tween the Bulldogs for the next few minutes of the quarter. Gallatin was able to make things happen one more time by having a touchdown by Wright.

Trenton took a timeout to make some adjustments. A fumble by Trenton returned the ball to Gallatin. But with not enough movement up the field, Gallatin punted to Trenton. The third quarter getting close to ending with a running clock, Gallatin moved

some players around. This opened opportunities for Trenton and Novak was able to score a 75-yard touchdown. This changed Trenton’s score from zero to six for the Bulldogs.

Gallatin ended the quarter with the ball and Trenton continued with strong de fense.

The fourth was played by Gallatin and Trenton JV teams. There were a lot of loose balls by both teams.

Neither team was able to score any points in the fourth and with a running clock the quarter ended quickly.

Gallatin won the night and the traveling bulldog tro phy with a score of 46-6.

Trenton’s winning streak came to an end, but their spirits continue as they get ready for their game against the South Harrison Bulldogs.

Top Offensive Players for

the night were Griffin, Novak, and Rongey. Novak had 84 rushing yards and Rongey had 29 receiving yards.

Top Defensive Players for Trenton were Stark, Gib son, and Cagle. Gibson led with eight tackles and both Cagle and Stark had forced fumbles.

The Trenton Bulldogs take on the South Harrison Bull dogs this week at the Tren ton ball field. It is senior night for Trenton football, cheer, band, guard and mascots. They will be an nounced at 6:30 before the game begins.

GAME NOTE: Gallatin vs. Princeton: Princeton Forfit due to players being ingured and ill. Gallatin will have a one (maybe two) week break to prepare for dis tricts.

Winners are defined after loses

They know it. Coach knows it. We all know it.

Gallatin came out hungry, punched us in the mouth and just kept throwing hay makers. We were toast on a wet night.

But, as I said in the open, winners are defined after a loss by one simple action: How do they respond?

that won seven in a row is about to cap off a fantastic regular season and their at tention to the playoffs.

It all starts with a win against South Harrison and then let the seeding begin.

We are proud of our team regardless of the outcome the next couple of games.

TRENTON

Jamey Honeycutt Owner/Publisher

That was ugly and not what I expected.

I knew a Gallatin win was possible but it was obvious one team wanted it more Fri day night at C.F. Russell Stadium.

I have been singing the praises of this team all sea son so I feel I need to ad dress the first loss of a tremendous season.

A season that is not over by a long shot.

There is our finale against South Harrison and then the post-season begins. From that point on it is win or go home. Advance or start bas ketball practice.

Our Bulldogs can do a lot better than what was on dis play during that lopsided loss last Friday.

Do these young men let it define them or do they come out ticked off?

This has been an amazing year and this team of players coaches and fans has en joyed the ride.

Life is pretty awesome when everyone is telling you how good you. It gets a little more real when it kicks you in the teeth. You are walking off the field on a cold night with the scoreboard taunting you.

This team has some deci sions to make and it starts with the team leaders.

They need to to grab their teammates by the facemasks and gently remind them that this ain’t over.

That loss stunk to high heaven but it is over. The horn blew, everyone went home and now it is history.

Move on.

The same talented team

But, if it is all the same to you, we are not done.

We want a little more ac tion. We want a few more long runs and completed passes.

We want to see opposing QB’s running around in the backfield getting sacked.

You didn’t let anyone down, you just weren’t the best team THAT particular night.

October 21st is a new night. Shake it off and let’s go!

I know players and coaches will be ready to take care of business and fans need to do our part by filling the stadium. Your 7-1 Bull dogs are back in action and I expect a victory.

After that I expect to begin a road trip...hopefully a long one over several weeks. Nothing wrong with lofty goals.

Go Bulldogs.
