City Council postpones public hearing on land acquisition

COLUMBIA, MO (January 21, 2009) - City Council members last night
cancelled a public hearing originally advertised for Feb. 2, 2009 at 7
p.m. The hearing, relating to proposed acquisition of land (bounded by
Elm Street, Lancaster Drive, Fifth Street and Sixth Street) for a new
State Historical Society of Missouri building, would have been held
during the Council’s regular meeting on that day.

In the interest of allowing the parties directly affected by the
proposal to continue their discussions, Council members directed city
staff to cancel the Feb. 2 hearing. 
Council may consider and adopt a resolution setting a future public
hearing. In that event, the city clerk would publish notice as
required.

The Council set the February hearing date when it adopted Resolution
R284-08A on Dec. 15, 2008. The city clerk published notice on Jan. 11,
2009.
