City Services To Be Bid: At the June 29 Board of Aldermen meeting, Lake Ozark’s elected officials authorized two bidding processes that will have a significant impact on local residents. The first of these opportunities discussed is related to improving city streets. In April, the Board of Aldermen hired Miller Companies to establish a list of road maintenance projects to be paid for utilizing the city’s ARPA funds, and the road improvements reserve fund. Over thirty roads throughout the community have been identified for the micro-paving project, given their current condition. Miller Companies representative Ethan Shackelford states, “This type of project is designed to maintain and sustain the life of roads that are not yet in need of significant repair. For some higher traffic streets, this can expand the life of the street for two or three years, but lower traffic residential streets may not need to be addressed for another eight years.” After receiving this project report, the Board unanimously voted to issue an RFP for the project. Bidding will open on July 4 and close on July 27. City staff will begin crack sealing streets soon to prepare for the project. The city’s current solid waste contract with GFL Environmental was originally set to expire in 2022, but the contractor and Board of Aldermen elected to extend the contract through March of 2023 in their December 2021 meeting. The Board of Aldermen opted on Tuesday to issue an RFP for a new solid waste contract to begin at the termination of the existing contract. Among other items, bidders will be expected to identify operational plans, an ability to perform consistent routes throughout Lake Ozark, and what annual rate increases will look like for consumers. Mayor Newberry commended Derrick Standley, a local resident with expertise in solid waste management, for his work in helping city staff and the Board determine what the bidding process and documents should entail. As the bidding process for both of these items closes, the Board of Aldermen will be expected to make a decision on who to award each of these contracts to, based on qualifications, ability, and pricing.

February 18 - 21, 2022

WHERE: Multiples venue in the Lake area

Rather than just one single day for everyone to party together, the 2022 Lake Pub Crawl will take place over four days - February 18, 19, 20 & 21. This will allow everyone more time to celebrate so not everyone is crowded into the same spaces all at the same time.

In early February, the LOZ Mardi Gras Pub Crawl Passport App will be available for purchase in both the Apple App Store and the Google Play Store. (Purchase of the app is not necessary to participate. Please read the Rules & Regulations found at www.LakePubCrawl.com for complete details.)

Buses will not be included in this year's event however, there are a variety of transportation opportunities (local cab and shuttle companies) in the area. We will be adding a list of these on both our website and the mobile app to help you plan for safe travels as you make your way through this year's event. Drinking kills driving skills so please, do not drink and drive!

As you visit each participating Lake Pub Crawl stop throughout the weekend, you will "check-in" using the designated LOZ Mardi Gras Pub Crawl Passport app.

Check the website or app for pub crawl stops.

The weather may not have been the most ideal but another Lake Area Pub Crawl is in the archives and, despite not being able to secure buses for this year, the turnout and overall event is being called another success.

“With the bus company not being able to come through was a bummer, but you know…when life gives you lemons, you make lemonade so…we worked really hard and still got the event put together and it was a great weekend” says Lake Area Chamber board member Luke Hagedorn.

He tells KRMS News bars and restaurants weren’t the only businesses benefitting from the four-day event…“We saw people at hotels, convenience stores, at shopping places…all those sorta places benefit when you put together an event like this.”

No major incidents were reported from the pub crawl and plans are already in the works for another pub crawl later this year and then the 2023 pre-spring event.
