BALLWIN, MO 63011 Discussion: Alderman Finley asked about paragraph two which states “…authority may require an applicant…”; what’s the definition for “authority”? City Attorney Jones responded that this paragraph was taken word for word from state statute and this could mean a county, city or other political subdivision. Alderman Fleming asked, for clarification, this is to bring us into compliance with state statute; Mr. Jones replied that is correct and that the second paragraph of Section 7.6-6 was removed and replaced with the paragraph from the state statute. Alderman Roach asked if this alters our process; Mr. Jones replied it does not, but it limits the City to review what is allowed by state statute.
