HANNIBAL â The Hannibal City Council took care of what one city official termed a âhousekeeping measureâ during its meeting at city hall on Tuesday night when it approved the issuance of a quit claim deed to Zhongding Sealing Parts (USA), which currently owns the former Buckhorn facility that is located in the cityâs West Side Industrial Park.
Addressing the council regarding the matter was Corey Mehaffy, executive director of the Hannibal Regional Economic Development Council.
âIt is my understanding that the city of Hannibal previously conveyed a 0.7 acre tract of land to the predecessor in title to Zhongding Sealing Parts (USA),â he said. âIt is also my understanding that when Zhongding Sealing Parts (USA) acquired the property years ago the tract in question was omitted from the description contained in the deed. Currently the tract still shows as vested in the city of Hannibal.â
HANNIBAL â The Hannibal Street Department could soon feature an additional full-time position.
During Tuesday nightâs meeting of the Hannibal City Council at city hall consideration was given to creating a full-time street maintenance position while eliminating three part-time jobs.
The bill, which received a successful first reading, will come up for a final reading when the council meets on Tuesday, Jan. 5, 2021.
âWe currently have two of the part-time positions open due to promotions. We would like to promote our remaining part-time employee to the new full-time position,â said Andy Dorian, the cityâs director of central services.
The new full-time position would pay $28,569. According to Dorian, the elimination of the three part-time positions and the creation of one full-time job would not cost the city any additional money.
