The Kinmundy Board of Alderman has appointed retired school teacher Cindy Garrett as their new city clerk. Garrett was selected following a reception prior to the meeting to honor retiring clerk Ginny Randolph who has resigned after six years in the position.
Kinmundy is taking applications for a full-time police officer. They will be accepted at city hall through January 29th, with interviews to follow. The action comes after current full-time officer Vince King indicated he would be resigning.
The Kinmundy Board was told water rates would be going up 4-cents per thousand gallons effective this month. The rate increase is a pass-through from their supplier, the Gateway Regional Water Company.
The board decided to pass on a proposal for the city to hire a dog catcher.
The board was told American Obstacle is now removing their equipment from the old city lake property. The company had operated zip lines and other activities during a lease of the property from the city. They shut down operations last year but until now had left all of their equipment behind.
