Tips for Heart Health Month February is heart health month! Here are some tips if you suspect someone is having a heart attack:
The Municipal Code for the City of Kirksville, Missouri.
City Undergoing Recodification! The City is currently undergoing the recodification process! What is recodification? For the City, it means a team of attorneys is completely reviewing our Municipal Code — from airports to zoning and everything in between — to ensure it is up-to-date, consistent, and compliant with applicable state and federal laws. If you would also like to review our Municipal Code, you can do so at www.kirksvillecity.com/municipalcode! As we work through this process, the City will be holding several Open Houses which residents can attend to learn more about any and all proposed changes to the Municipal Code and ask questions of City Department Heads! To ensure you know the dates and times for these upcoming Open Houses, please signup for notifications and alerts from the City by visiting www.kirksvillecity.com/alerts! For more information on the City’s recodification process, contact Administration at 660.627.1225!

Be a Good Neighbor: Shovel Your Sidewalk!
Winter is here, and we want to take this opportunity to remind you to clean the sidewalks along and in front of your home or business! City ordinance requires either the tenant or owner of a property to remove snow and ice from the sidewalk within 24 hours of the end of a snow event. If you are a tenant, you should have an understanding with your landlord as to who is responsible for snow and ice removal. More and more people are using the sidewalks for exercise, recreation, and going to and from work or school. Please be considerate of your fellow citizens and ensure your sidewalks are clear! Preparation is key: be sure to have a good snow shovel and some ice melt handy. We thank you for your cooperation, and we’re sure your neighbors will thank you as well!
