City of Ewing May 2026 Minutes
EWING, Mo- *Key notes from the City of Ewing meeting held on May 12, 2026.
Under old business, the city reported receiving its first payment from Lewis County Water District for the first sewer billing cycle. Shirley Robertson reviewed the payment and reported everything appeared correct. The city also discussed whether to keep the old Sequoia billing system, which renews in October and contains past billing history. The board decided to check with Chris at New Century Computers to see if the billing history can be copied into an Excel spreadsheet.
The board continued discussing road concerns at 15 Lakeview Drive. Mayor Wagy planned to order cold mix so it would be available when needed, and Tom Willis was expected to review the road and discuss what work needs to be done.
The city also discussed a drainage issue with the Co-op and said a berm is needed to divert water because the ditch is eroding.
Christmas decorations were discussed again. Mayor Wagy planned to contact Ameren about updating plugs on the poles, and the city plans to purchase two or three new decorations each year.
The board also discussed memorial options for the park, including large stones, with a suggested cost limit of no more than $10,000 and preferably closer to $5,000.
The memorial bench for Alan Toliver has been received.
Street work remained under discussion, including the tube at Mr. Tucker’s corner and possible asphalt work by Willis Bros.
The board also discussed making speed bumps with cold mix asphalt so they could not be stolen. T
The new sprayer has been delivered, assembled, and is working well. The board decided the sewer department would pay half the cost since it will also be used at the lagoons.
The spray field, lagoons, and sewer pumps were reported to be working well. The city continued discussing possible plans for America’s 250th anniversary.
The city is also still looking for someone to appoint to an open alderman seat.
Under new business, the sewer management company has been working on setting up the new lagoon “bugs” system, which is expected to last about a year.
Park Party 2026 was discussed and is scheduled for August 8, 2026.
Linda Lueckenhoff is expected to attend the June meeting, Daniel Goings is setting up a pickleball tournament, and the Ewing Firehouse plans to serve dinner and have a live band that evening.
