VIENNA — The City of Vienna aldermen voted at their April 6 meeting to modify it vacating of 2nd Street west of Highway 63, according to the meeting’s draft minutes.

The council voted in September 2024 to vacate the undeveloped section of road in between Junkers Junction and 63 Vintage Market & Antiques.

At the request of the Recorder of Deed’s Office, the council revisited the issue and unanimously voted to replace the original Ordinance No. 234 with the new Ordinance No. 242. The original ordinance closed the entire street, but the new ordinance corrects the language to only west of the highway.

County Prosecuting Attorney Tony Skouby will now handle the city’s municipal tickets. The council approved paying his clerk Charro Reasor $20 per hour for her work.

The city approved sponsoring a renovation grant for Vienna Main Street through the Meramec Regional Planning Commission (MRPC). Engineering company Bartlett & West will work on the project. City Clerk Tracy Shiver will send a letter to MRPC, notifying them of the city’s sponsorship.

Public Works Superintendent Shon Westart informed the council about public works improvements. He said that the concession stands at the Vienna City Park are finished with sinks and climate controls. The city also approved a motion to purchase vending machines to replace the current ones at the park because it would be more cost effective to own their own machines.

Westart also said that summer help would be used to repair flood damage to the lagoons on Ballpark Road that the April 2024 flood caused. The city is still waiting to receive funds from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) for the repair of the culvert on Ballpark Rd.
