Kirksville Daily Express
The Kirksville Police Department has been investigating a string of burglaries and motor vehicle thefts over the last few weeks.
According to a release from the department, it believes them to be related.
On Jan. 26, police were called about a black 1990 Ford F150 pickup truck that was stolen from the 1100 block of East Jefferson Street. The person who called police said he believed he had all known keys to the truck. The vehicle is still missing.
On Feb. 2, police were called to Snelling Auto Plaza for the theft of a grey 2014 Honda CRV-EX. The suspect in that crime broke into the building, grabbed the keys and then drove the vehicle off. It has also not been recovered.
Council approves business license fee reduction, bond change

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.
