The Nevada City Council will be having the second readings of three ordinances during tonight's meeting dealing with the sale of the Key Manufacturing building on east Cherry Street.

The first ordinance clarifies that the property includes the parking lot on the east side of the building as well as the building. The second ordinance confirms the authorization of the sale and the third changes the zoning on the property from M-1, light industrial, to C-3 commercial, so that the owner can put apartments on the second floor.

The council will also be holding second readings on an ordinance to amend Section 5-26 (G) of the city code, which pertains to animal control.

They will also be considering second readings of ordinances to eliminate the Friends of our Parks Trust Fund, set the fees at the Frank E. Peters Golf Course, release the $4,768.68 NID assessment against a lot in the Barton's Meadows Addition that Beverly Balk purchased from Mark Selsor, and an ordinance permitting the city attorney to discuss with the Vernon County Prosecuting Attorney what occurred during a closed council meeting on Sept. 27.

They will also be considering three ordinances on first reading Tuesday night. One will amend section 2-57 of the city code to change the membership of the library board to include two board members who do not have to be residents of the city. Currently the board has nine members, all of whom are city residents, and the board can appoint two non-voting ex-officio members who do not have to live inside the city limits. The other two proposed ordinances will authorize a lease agreement with E-Z-Go to provide golf carts at the Frank E. Peters Golf Course and to amend the city's agreement with the Missouri Highway and Transportation Commission for funding the city's taxi coupon program to allow the city to receive an additional $788, which will increase the grant to $3,674.

The council also will consider a resolution to waive the fees for the fourth annual Nevada Regional Medical Center Foundation Golf Classic. The council wanted input from the parks board before making a decision.
