Warrensburg boards approve park improvements, plan budgets; several meetings await published minutes
A volunteer advisory board approved funding for new benches at a local garden and set budget priorities including a potential Safe Haven Baby Box, according to official minutes from a June 23 meeting — the only local government body in the past two weeks with published results.
Children's Memorial Fund and Nancy Anderson Park Advisory Board — June 23
The board unanimously approved an Eagle Scout proposal to install benches at the garden, with the committee funding the concrete installation. Members also approved budgeting for grants and a scholarship for next year, and approved pursuing a Safe Haven Baby Box for the city in next year's budget. The board denied installation of new walls for the coming year and confirmed Pastor Tyler Uptegrove as speaker for the candlelight service.
City Council — June 22
The Warrensburg City Council was scheduled to hear a presentation on the July 4th Freedom Festival and a facility grade audit report from Schneider Electric. The agenda included votes on reappointing Cody Jolliff and appointing Brandy Wormsley to the Convention and Visitor's Bureau, both through June 2029. A closed session was scheduled for legal matters and potential real estate transactions. Minutes have not yet been published, so outcomes are not available.
Historic Preservation Commission — June 24
The commission was set to review a request for support from the "Save the Cheatham" Committee regarding the Cheatham-Phillips House at the University of Central Missouri. The agenda also included updates on a World War II Heritage Cities Grant and historic preservation design guidelines for commercial buildings, a review of changes to the commission's webpage, and an announcement of Warrensburg Main Street re-accreditation. Minutes have not yet been published.
Parks and Recreation Board — June 30
The board was scheduled to consider and potentially approve the FY2026-2027 fee schedule and budget, elect a President and Vice President, and hold a public comment period. Minutes have not yet been published, so it is not known whether the budget and fee schedule were approved.
