The Sedalia City Council will meet at noon Tuesday, Dec. 23 for a special session.

The meeting will focus on a pair of ordinances dealing with an engineering study for improvements to the intersection of Curry Drive with Main Street and Leroy Van Dyke Avenue. The study will be funded by a grant from the Missouri Department of Transportation’s Traffic Engineering Assistance Program. The council is expected to authorize an agreement with SE3 of Kansas City to complete the study by May 1.

The special meeting comes a week after the council’s most recent regular meeting, where a number of contracts for properties within Sedalia were approved in closed session. City administrator Matthew Wirt says the city accepted a land donation to help facilitate improvements at another intersection.

The council approved the sale last week of two properties to Nick Lumpe, one on the 400 block of West Fifth and the other on the 800 block of East Tenth. The council also agreed to sell a property on the 1000 block of South Missouri to Expert Construction and on the 1800 block of South Barrett to Tailwind Investments.

Also last week, the council received the annual presentation from the Sedalia-Pettis County Emergency Management Agency and the water and wastewater  departments. A citizen’s request to establish a three-way stop sign at West Second and Missouri did not receive a motion from the council, after the Citizens’ Traffic Advisory Commission recommended last month that the council deny the request.
