Community Update · UNKNOWNRecords we still need: Greentop council gaps, 2024–2026
Transparency includes showing what the Reporter does not yet have. These are current gaps worth filling with official city records.\n\n• September 2024 alley closures — Schuyler County Times’ year-in-review says the Greentop City Council voted to close two alleys. We still need the exact meeting date, legal descriptions/locations, motion or ordinance, vote record and any recorded vacation documents.\n\n• January 12, 2026 budget and sewer-rate hearings — the December 4, 2025 council report says both hearings were scheduled for January 12. We still need the hearing notices, minutes, attendance, public comments, adopted budget, sewer-rate action and any ordinance or resolution.\n\n• January 2026 fire-protection contract — the December meeting report says the city planned to finalize payment for the 2026 Greentop Volunteer Fire Department contract in January. We still need the executed contract, approved payment, term, amount and any vote record.\n\n• Lagoon engineering RFQ — the December meeting extended the RFQ deadline to January 15, 2026. We still need the RFQ packet, submissions, evaluation/scoring, selection, contract and any council vote.\n\n• May 7, 2026 meeting — the June 4 council report says the board approved minutes from May 7, confirming a meeting record exists. We have not yet located the underlying May 7 minutes in the current public search.\n\n• July 9, 2026 meeting — the June 4 report says the next meeting was scheduled for July 9 because of the Fourth of July holiday. We have not yet located a Greentop July 9 meeting record in the current public search. A scheduled meeting is not proof it occurred, so the Reporter will not create proceedings until a source is found.\n\nIf you have an agenda, approved minutes, recording, ordinance, contract, bid sheet or other source for one of these gaps, send it to info@greentopreporter.com with the meeting date.\n\nUnder Missouri § 610.023, a public-record request must be acted upon as soon as possible and no later than the end of the third business day after receipt. Production can take longer for reasonable cause, but the custodian must explain the delay and give the earliest time and date the record will be available. This list is a research checklist, not an allegation that a record was unlawfully withheld.
• June 2026 DNR Clean Water Engineering Report Grant agreement — DNR officially awarded Greentop $50,000, and the statewide program generally uses either an 80% grant / 20% recipient match structure up to $50,000 or, for qualifying disadvantaged communities, up to 100% with a higher cap. The Greentop award announcement does not state which structure applies. We still need Greentop’s signed grant agreement, approved project budget, local-match amount if any, engineer/procurement documents, reimbursement terms, and the final facility plan when completed.
