Zoning Meeting, Tuesday, February 26th The Zoning Commission will meet at 6:00 p.m. on Tuesday, February 26, 2019 with two items on their Agenda. The commission will continue a discussion regarding short term rental of property inside Airport Drive. The discuss began during their meeting on January 31, 2019, but the committee would like the opinion of the residents. There were many questions concerning zoning, restricted use of property, safety and definition of business. They would appreciate comments from residents.
Jill Cornett, Executive Director of the Harry S. Truman Coordinating Council, will meet with the Zoning Commission to begin scheduling meetings
for the 2020 Comprehensive Plan. She anticipates a Public Meeting in March to begin the process of updating the
Comprehensive Plan from 2010.
For anyone wishing to serve on the 2020 Comprehensive Planning Committee, please come to the meeting or contact
the Office at 417-623-6744 or by email [email protected].
Every April, residents of Airport Drive have the duty to vote for candidates to serve as Trustees. Trustees make important decisions for the Village regarding ordinances, maintenance, budgeting and services. The Board works as a group to make decisions that affect all of Airport Drive. Trustees are elected to a two year term and serve at large, meaning all Trustees represent the entire community.
This year we have two positions open for the Board of Trustees. The following residents have filed for candidacy and are listed in the order that they filed.
Ray Bryant, Elm Street, is a former Trustee from 2002 to 2009 and currently serves on the Zoning Commission. David Bozung, Park Circle, has served as a Trustee since 2015. Terry Myers, Leffen Lane, has served at a Trustee since 2015 and is the current Chairman Pro Tem.
Residents can vote at the Municipal Building located at 25150 Demott Drive. Polls open at 6:00 a.m. and close at 7:00 p.m.
All meetings for the Village of Airport Drive held at the municipal building are open to the public unless posted as Closed Session. Want to know what’s going on in Airport Drive? Come to the meetings!

A word from Sergeant Roughton….
The Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program offers free tax help to people who generally make $55,000.00 or less, persons with disabilities, the elderly and limited English speaking taxpayers who need assis-tance in preparing their own tax returns. IRS-certified volunteers provide free basic income tax return prepara-tion with electronic filing to qualified individuals. The VITA tax site is part of the We Care Coalition of Joplin. It is located on the second floor in the
Great Plains Federal Credit Union 2306 S. Rangeline Road, Joplin, Missouri
The office opened January 28, 2019. Their hours are 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, until April 15, 2019.
Jasper County Sheriff’s Office
Sergeant Melissa Roughton
Jasper County Sheriff’s Office
Here we are now in 2019. It’s crazy, the older you get, time seems to go by faster, Anyway, I hope everybody had a wonderful holiday season; and I hope 2019 will be a great year for everyone. Since the last newsletter not much has changed. We’ve had a few shoplifters at Harp’s and Walmart, but that’s par for the course. A few traffic citations were written as well. As far as the residents, things have been good. A couple of reports were taken for property damage, but nothing really serious. Spring is around the corner which I’m sure a lot of you are ready for. We still have several days of cold weather left so please continue to keep an eye out for neighbors and pets. Please report animal neglect if you see it. Not just in our area, but any-where. Also, if you notice neighbors are having is-sues or are worried about them, feel free to give us a call so we can check on them. Well, I won’t take up much of your time. Winter is a little slower but I am sure Spring will bring more activity for all. Please stay warm and safe. Never hesitate to call for any concerns. We will talk again in the Spring.
The key to successful communication
is to ask for exactly what you need. I wrote Sgt. Roughton a note
stating that “I needed her letter for the next newsletter”. Her first
submission is below.
There is one in every office……...

There is so much to information to share about Always Buying Books, in the Village since 2001. Owner Bob Wolfe’s current in-store inventory includes over 80,000 books (give or take 3 or 4). They carry paperback & hard cover, fiction & non-fiction, Christian books, popular & obscure. They have hosted book signings for over 200 local and regional authors, go to their website for announcements of upcoming events. The 2019 Favorites of the Four States poll named Always Buying Books as the Favorite Used Book Store, for the 5th consecutive year. The store was also featured in the Only In Missouri blog.
The Tabor Woods entrance sign had to be removed due to age related damage. Resident Steve Hughlett removed the sign when the bottom part of the sign became detached from the top. Subdivision signs are the responsibility of the subdivision. If residents would like to form a committee to replace the sign, please contact the Village Office. We will help residents coordinate with each other to get started. Call the office at 417-623-6744.
Spot Light on Business
According to Bob, every year, he always wins the vote by one.
