After a seven-week hiatus, the Citizens for a Clean Sedalia committee met Thursday to discuss budget issues and a proposed neighborhood cleanup project.
Aside from the recent bad weather, the main reason the committee hadn’t met in nearly two months was due to the city’s budget process, City Administrator Gary Edwards said. One of the recommendations made to the Sedalia City Council in the fall was the hiring of an additional code enforcement officer to allow the city to take a more proactive, rather than reactive, approach to ordinance violations.
