Kirksville Daily Express
The Kirksville City Council approved a number of items as part of Monday’s meeting. Most of those items were centered on ongoing projects with the Public Works and Parks and Recreation departments.
Here’s a rundown of what was approved at the meeting.
Tower Lease agreement
The council approved a tower lease agreement with US Cellular, the second of three planned agreements between the city and cell phone corporations. One with AT&T was approved earlier this year.
These companies have used the old water tower to deliver signals. Since that water tower will be deconstructed, they have moved to different spaces. US Cellular will join AT&T, and eventually Verizon, on the Mark Twain Communications tower.

City Council gets aquatic center update, approves art sales during downtown art walk
Kirksville Daily Express
The Kirksville Aquatic Center remains on schedule for its new opening date of June 19, but Mother Nature is toying with workers yet again.
During Monday’s meeting, he said a lot of construction has been completed over the last two weeks, particularly at the pumphouse and the outdoor pool decks. The roof of the building is nearly complete, fence posts are in place for the campus perimeter, and work has begun on the parking lot.
Sadler said the wintry weather on Tuesday and Wednesday could pose a challenge because pool painters are on-site to paint the outdoor pool, but it isn’t warm enough for them to do that. So they have to wait for warmer temperatures, and that paint has to sit for 28 days before the pool can be filled with water.
