City starts new year, new budget with spending
OSAGE BEACH – Since it’s the beginning of the year and a new budget has taken over that means time to spend money, which was the major issue addressed at last Thursday’s Board of Aldermen meeting.
Most of the issues were for the Public Works Department so their Christmas present came in January.
These service bodies (to be purchased from Knapheide Truck Equipment Center) will be mounted on the two service trucks the city uses that were purchased in the summer of 2024.
One of the beds (the sewer bed) is more expensive because of the crane required to pull and load sewer pumps.

State park trail transformed by NCCC
LAKE OF THE OZARKS - A popular trail at Lake of the Ozarks State Park has undergone a significant transformation thanks to the work of a team from the National Civilian Community Corps (NCCC).
After five weeks of work, the NCCC team has completed major improvements to all 14 miles of the Trail of Four Winds, including rerouting a section, widening the width and height of portions of the trail, and enhancing areas to create a better user experience and improved environmental impact.
The team of eight was deployed in November from the NCCC Southwest Region based in Colorado. Their last day of work on the trail was December 13.
The team was awarded to Osage Beach non-profit Branches for the Lake (B4TL) and the Lake of the Ozarks State Park after the agencies partnered to be considered for the program.
