The Slater City Council met for its regular meeting, Tuesday, July 17.
Mayor Stephen K. Allegri wanted to go over the power outage and the water leak that happened recently.
"When the whole town is out it is usually an issue with Kansas City Power and Light.
A number of years ago, we looped the town so we can come in from two different directions, but they have to come in and pull the switch to do it," Allegri said.
Because Kansas City Power and Light has to dispatch someone to come flip the switch, two to three hours is what to expect when there is an outage.
Allegri took the time to thank Jim Stanfield and Jean Black who reported the leak, as well as the city crew who worked all night to fix the problem.
This boil order was a direct result of the water leak.
Assistant City Administrator Gene Griffith announced they had two employees resigned, but one position was already filled.
The admission will be $5 and includes pizza and drinks.
The street project, which had been rescheduled because of the water leak should, start the third week of August.
