Joplin council adopts vision statement, goals

2 min to read The Joplin City Council on Monday adopted a city vision statement and the goals that were distilled in part from what City Manager Nick Edwards called a listening tour. Edwards gathered input on Joplin s strengths and its needs by both talking to residents and collecting input via a survey that was filled out by about 1,400 residents. Edwards and his staff compiled an 80-page report to categorize the comments. The council met in a daylong session Nov. 30 to discuss the results of the study, and select initiatives and projects the members thought were viewed by residents as most important.

Committee: City Council should again pose use tax

3 min to read A residents’ committee that monitors and reports on the spending of the city of Joplin’s special sales tax revenue has called for the City Council to put a use tax question on the ballot again. “The tax is currently being collected by the state, but we are not receiving our portion because we haven’t passed the use tax as a community,” said Morris Glaze, a former council member who serves as the chairman of the Capital Improvements Sales Tax Oversight Committee. Glaze said six of the committee’s members who attended a quarterly meeting in November agreed to make the recommendation. There are nine people on the panel; three were absent from that meeting.
