City Government

by John Campbell, City of Hermann Street Superintendent

As you all know, we have had some unusual weather this winter. We’ve  experienced several periods of snow, some rain and many cycles of freezing, and  thawing leaving several potholes behind. The Street Department will be patching  some of these holes, starting with the high traffic areas and concentrating on the worse. You will notice that some streets that look worst than others will get little attention at first.

Nicholas C. Helton, 21, of Rosebud, was killed in a two-car accident west of Spring Bluff at 2:20 a.m. Saturday.  Both vehicles were eastbound on Route AC, 3.8 miles west of Hwy. 185 in Franklin County.

According to the Missouri Highway Patrol, Helton, who was driving a 1995 Ford Escort, was traveling too fast for conditions and skidded into the rear of a 2002 Dodge Dakota driven by Craig W. Stack, 20, of Bourbon.

Stack's vehicle overturned and came to rest on the north side of Route AC.

At the suggestion of City Attorney David Politte, some cat supporters in Hermann have agreed to establish a non-profit group that would work with the city to control the population of at-large, feral cats.

The group, tentatively named, Happy Cat Team, Inc., by the citizen committee formed to address cat issues in Hermann, would sign an annual contract to provide cat services for the city, attorney David Politte said.

The Board of Governors of the Community Foundation of the Hermann Area include:  Paula Pierce, Jane Meyer, Muriel Brison, Tom Engemann, Jim Holland, Steve Mueller, Chris Neale, Glenn Warnebold and Bob Bohl.
