City, school posts, bond issues to be decided by voters April 8 If the issue passes, the district would sell $5 million in bonds and pay off the debt over 20 years by extending the debt-service levy at its current rate of 68 cents per $100 assessed valuation.
The only race for City Council in Webb City is in Ward 4, where incumbent Gene Mense is facing a challenge from Randy Cahoon. Also on the ballot are Ray Edwards, in Ward 1; Don Darby, Ward 2; and Jerry Fisher, Ward 4. Webb City voters also will be asked to decide a bond issue for road projects. The proposal calls for issuing more than $7 million in bonds for projects on Hall Street, 17th Street, Carl Junction Road and Madison Avenue, and other locations. The debt would be retired with sales-tax revenue voters approved last year. Carthage residents will have two City Council races to decide and five candidates from which to choose for three seats on the Carthage R-9 School Board. Council races are for Ward 2, where candidates are Timothy Teed and Ronnie E. Wells; and for Ward 3, where John Studebaker and Vince Scott are seeking the post. Candidates in uncontested races are Claude Newport, for Ward 1; Larry Ross, Ward 4; and Keith Hurlbut, Ward 5. Newport and Ross are council incumbents. Wells served previously on the council and the remaining candidates are council newcomers. Incumbents not seeking re-election are Mike Harris, in Ward 2; Cynthia Curry, Ward 3; Bill Johnson, Ward 4; and Tom Flanigan, Ward 5. Ross, currently a Ward 1 councilman, has moved to Ward 4, according to officials. He has one year left in the Ward 1 post, and officials are researching how the vacancy should be handled. Candidates for the Carthage R-9 School Board are Tony Diggs, Jeff Jones and Danny Lambeth, all incumbents, and Kent Hogan and Alan Snow. Six candidates are seeking three, three-year terms on the Neosho School Board. Contenders are Cheryl Hawkins, Cindy Norman and Richard Davidson, incumbents, and J.C. Herrell, Lynn Otey and Earl Reynolds. John Harden is seeking a one-year unexpired term. Only one at-large position is to be decided on the Neosho City Council. Incumbent Matt Persinger is the only candidate. Registration Voter registration for the April 8 city and school elections ends on March 12.
