The Maryville City Council met August 9 at the Maryville Community Center to address the following business.

White Cloud Engineering and Construction, Maryville, was awarded the contract for design-build services of water and sewer systems improvements related to the Mozingo RV Park expansion. The total project, not-to-exceed $187,250, will install the improvements of the two phases of 43 new sites.

The sites will be full-hookup, that is water, sewer, electricity and considered premium RV sites.
