Osage City Council considers condemnation of Armand's Hotel, sales tax for schools

The Osage City Council at its June 23 meeting weighed several significant proposals, though no votes have been finalized as minutes remain unpublished.

Public hearing set for dilapidated Armand's Hotel

The council held a public hearing on whether to declare the structure at 501 Market Street (Armand's Hotel) unsafe and order repairs or demolition. A resolution — Resolution No. 1153 — was on the table for a potential vote to condemn the building, but action has not yet been recorded.

Special sales tax for USD 420 school projects

Council members discussed placing a special sales tax on the ballot for USD 420 to fund an early childhood center and school upgrades. Two rates were proposed: 0.25% or 0.50%. No decision has been reported.

Sewer rate changes proposed

The council considered adopting Sewer Rate Ordinance No. 1711, which would alter sewer fees. The ordinance was up for action but results are pending.

Water infrastructure projects move forward

Council members reviewed Change Order No. 6 and the Final Completion for KWPCRF Project No. C20 1677 01, a water pollution control project. Both items were slated for approval, though outcomes are not yet public.
