City Council gets aquatic center update, approves art sales during downtown art walk
Kirksville Daily Express
The Kirksville Aquatic Center remains on schedule for its new opening date of June 19, but Mother Nature is toying with workers yet again.
During Monday’s meeting, he said a lot of construction has been completed over the last two weeks, particularly at the pumphouse and the outdoor pool decks. The roof of the building is nearly complete, fence posts are in place for the campus perimeter, and work has begun on the parking lot.
Sadler said the wintry weather on Tuesday and Wednesday could pose a challenge because pool painters are on-site to paint the outdoor pool, but it isn’t warm enough for them to do that. So they have to wait for warmer temperatures, and that paint has to sit for 28 days before the pool can be filled with water.

Gardner sworn in; City Council discusses filling vacancy
Kirksville Daily Express
The Kirksville City Council certified last week’s election on Monday, which saw John Gardner sworn in as the newest member of the council.
He began his three-year term and took his place at City Hall on Monday night. With that, Phillip Biston was thanked by councilmembers and recognized for his time on the council. His decision not to seek re-election opened a spot for Gardner’s election.
And after his resignation announcement last week, Chuck Long received similar recognition for his service on Monday night.
For the first time, the council discussed plans for filling Long’s spot. The council will eventually appoint someone to fill that role until an election next year. That election will be for a one-year term in order to finish the length of Long’s original term.
