​
The Grain Valley Board of Aldermen met on Monday, April 14th for its first April meeting.
 
In new business, the Board approved two fireworks permits, one for the Grain Valley Band Parent Association and the other for the Grain Valley Economic Development Corporation. Both permits were approved on the condition of one form still needed from the Economic Development Corporation.
 
The board then moved into resolutions. The board approved eight resolutions with the intents ranging from entering an agreement for water tower and tank maintenance, to approving Midwest Public Risk for city employee insurance plans, and entering an agreement with Crawford, Murphy, and Tilly, Inc. for surveying and testing.
 
After resolutions, the board moved into ordinances. First, the board approved an ordinance amending the 2025 budget to execute a task order with Crawford, Murphy, and Tilly, Inc. for surveying services and easement allocation for the Southwest Eagles Parkway Trail. The first read was approved and the ordinance was brought back by title only and approved once again.
 
The board then approved the first reading of an ordinance approving a conditional use permit for a vehicle tow yard. This ordinance will be brought back by title only at the board’s next meeting.

Following this, the board adjourned into executive session. The next Board of Aldermen meeting will take place on April 28th at 6:30pm inside City Hall.
