Council approves business license fee reduction, bond change
Austin Miller
The Kirksville City Council began February with a long agenda Monday, its first meeting of the month.
Here’s a breakdown of what the council discussed and approved.
Business license fee reduction
At the council’s January study session, it discussed a one-year reduction of business license renewal fees as a way to help local businesses in a tough time. The discussion then was a $25 reduction for all business license renewals, and the council approved that on Monday.
For businesses that already paid for their renewal, they will be refunded. Just because there was a reduction that will eliminate the fee altogether for many businesses, it’s still important they go through the usual process of renewing licenses.
