At its Monday, Sept. 8 meeting, the Holts Summit Board of Aldermen appointed Jason Glenn to fill the unexpired term of Jason Michael.
Michael resigned from his seat as Ward I alderman at the end of the board's August meeting. He served on the board for six years. Michael and his family moved outside of Holts Summit city limits, which led him to resign from his role.
Glenn took the oath of office and for the first time, took his seat at the board's table Monday night. He has lived in Holts Summit for a little more than three years.
Also at the meeting, the board awarded the bid for the FY2013 recreational trail program through the Missouri Department of Natural Resources. The board awarded the bid for the project to Sam Gaines Construction, Inc.
In other business, the board held the first reading of an ordinance involving the second phase of the Holts Summit Trail Connection Project in Greenway Park. The ordinance would authorize the mayor to move forward with a contract between the city and the Missouri Department of Natural Resources to work on the project. City Administrator Brian Crane said the trail connection is an estimated $130,000 project. He added that the city has received $100,000 in grant money for the project.
