HANNIBAL â When the American Queen comes steaming up the Mississippi River to Hannibal this year it will find a docking area ready for it to use, thanks to an agreement that has been reached between the city and the company which owns the steamboat.
During Tuesday nightâs meeting of the Hannibal City Council approval was given a ground lease agreement between Hannibal and the American Queen Steamboat Operating Co.
âThe agreement covers several things, though its primary substance involves port availability for American Queen dockings, which are non-priority dockings, specifically subject to the priority docking rights of the other tenants,â wrote City Manager Lisa Peck in a memo to the council.
HANNIBAL â With an increase in the number of visitors to Hannibal already occurring, along with group/convention inquiries also on the rise, the Hannibal Convention and Visitors Bureau finds itself in need of additional staff. During Tuesday nightâs meeting of the Hannibal City Council first reading was given a request from the HCVB to fill two positions.
Gail Bryant, director of the HCVB, intends to hire one part-time associate at the Visitors Center and a full-time sales manager, who will provide services to the increase in visitation, inquiries and bookings.
According to Bryant, staffing was reduced at the HCVB a year ago.
HANNIBAL â The cost of building inspection fees in the city of Hannibal will be increasing by over 15% later this year.
A resolution authorizing the rate hikes was approved by the Hannibal City Council during its March 16 meeting. The rate increases will take effect with the start of the next fiscal year on July 1, 2021.
The city code of Hannibal states that the City Council shall amend the building inspection fees, based on the Consumer Price Index, every five years. However, according to Karen Burditt, the cityâs finance director, the last revision took place in November 2011 when the housing code was amended and the occupancy permit and inspection fees were added.
