The Board of Aldermen approved awarding the Liberty Lane sidewalk improvement project to Drinker Construction LLC for $308,415.41 under a Transportation Alternatives Program grant (approximately 80/20 split); construction is expected to begin in early October and finish in under 90 days, barring weather delays.

Suzanne Opperman, a nurse practitioner from Boone County, told the Board of Aldermen that Missouri's supervision requirement forces NPs to pay physician contracts (she cited $12,000–$54,000) and contributes to poor access and outcomes; she said some clinicians are pursuing litigation to change state rules.
