Former Morgan Building and second story bowling alley.

Several Shelbina citizens spent much of Thursday afternoon watching from a safe distance as fire fighters from Shelbina, Shelbyville and Monroe City attempted to extinguish a fire that was burning the building which housed the second story bowling alley at the corner of West Walnut and Missouri Street. The remains of the structure were taken down by Hartgrove Excavating in the late afternoon. There will be much more on this in next week's issue of the Shelbina Weekly.   2812 1025 6/23/2010 hdl

The Shelbina City Council approved a the budget for the next fiscal year during the open session of the Shelbina City Council meeting Tuesday night at the City Hall office.
   Passage of the Budget
   The budget will reflect a $1.7 million reduction from the previous year. City Administrator Dennis Klusmeyer said the biggest reason for this is they are not proposing capital expenditures this time. They are also looking at a reduction in both revenues and expenditures as far as purchase power in both the gas and electric departments.
   “I’m looking at about a half-million dollars in electric as far as reduction, and I think I’m looking at about that same amount in gas.
   City Superintendent Rob Trivette was asked about the maintenance contract for the water towers. He said that the contracts for the water towers aren’t in effect this year, but will be back up in a year or two.
   Klusmeyer said the plan to do a little line replacement in the water department, and he noted that improvements will begin in the sewer department as well. He added that there will be some line improvements in the gas department also.
   Klusmeyer said the golf course is trimmed down to bare operating numbers.
