The City of Boonville approved a resolution last week entering into a cost-share agreement that could lead to a redesigned intersection just north of Interstate 70.
The resolution between the city and the Missouri Department of Transportation calls for the design of a roundabout at the intersection of Main Street or Route B and Americana Drive, which leads to two gas stations, three restaurants, and a pair of hotels. City administrator Katie Fjell told council members the program requires the city to provide part of its share to begin the design phase.
Fjell added the anticipated $2,362,873 pricetag will be split evenly between MoDOT and the city.
Also at last week’s meeting, the Boonville City Council gave first reading to a proposed increase in water and wastewater sewer rates. If adopted by the council at next Monday’s meeting, these rates will take effect April 1:
| Boonville Water Service Rates, per Month | |

| 5/8″ or 3/4″ meter | $34.01 |
| 1″ meter | $57.67 |
| 1½” meter | $97.62 |
| 2″ meter | $146.40 |
| 3″ meter | $258.79 |
| 4″ meter | $419.98 |
| 6″ meter | $822.26 |
| Monthly usage rate, per 1,000 gallons | |
| After the first 1,000, each additional thousand gallons up to 10,000 | $9.39 |
