March 2016 Meetings
The perfect combination of teamwork and
communication can help accomplish many
goals. This can be witnessed in different set-
tings, from sporting events (last year’s Kan-
sas City Royals win, for example) to projects
soon to occur in the Sedalia-Pettis County
area in March and April 2016.
The City of Sedalia and Pettis County are
active members of the Pioneer Trails Region-
al Planning Commission (PTRPC), an organi-
zation based out of Concordia, Missouri. Per
PTRPC’s website, www.trailsrpc.org, this
Commission assists the counties of Johnson,
Lafayette, Pettis and Saline and the cities within
this area, “to promote and implement planning
activities in the areas of eco-
nomic development, homeland
security, solid waste manage-
ment and transportation.”
PTRPC has helped the City of
Sedalia bring two major
services to our citizens; the
Yard Waste Facility and the
Recycling Center. The ability
to receive grant funding from
PTRPC helped the City
purchase multiple pieces of
equipment that are currently
in use at both facilities.
Sedalia and Pettis County residents will soon
have a way to safely dispose of their household
hazardous waste at a facility located near the
City’s Compost Facility at 27882 Highway U.
Those wishing to use this service will first need
to contact Executive Administrative Assistant
Ellen Cross to schedule an appointment: (660)
827-3000 x 158. A complete list of items ac-
cepted at the Sedalia Household Hazardous
Waste Drop Off Facility is available at
www.trailsrpc.org/solidwaste.
On April 23, 2016, there will be a Pettis
County Electronic Waste Pick Up held on the
Missouri State Fairgrounds from 9:00 a.m. to
12:00 p.m. Please see information listed below.

The month of February was very
successful at the Sedalia Animal Shel-
ter. For a short month, only 24 days
open, they had 40 adoptions (27 dogs
and 13 cats). They also returned 9 lost
dogs and 2 cats back to their owners,
plus transferred two dogs to Second
Chance of Columbia.
SEDALIA ANIMAL SHELTER STAFF PIC Sedalia Animal Shelter
February 2016 Report Lucky is the person who adopts
Stitch, our Sedalia Animal Shel-
ter Staff’s March Pet of the
Month.
Stitch is a 7 year old pit bull
who just loves to play and have
his tummy rubbed! That white
chest area you see is actually a
storage facility full of love for
all humans and other animals
large and small.
Make some time to go visit
Stitch; you will be amazed at the
conversation you two will have
– he has his own personal array
of sounds to let you know exact-
ly what he’s thinking... mainly,
“More petting and hugs, please.”
