There is an injured dog on third street, brown with a blue collar. His back leg is hurt and he doesn’t have a tag. If you know who he belongs to please let them know so he can be taken care of.

Morgan County R-1 Teachers have arranged a parade of vehicles to drive around the city. This will happen at 1pm today 03-30-20. Basically this is to let the students know that they are not forgotten by the teachers while they are home during this extended break. I am advising the public due to the fact that I have just been asked to lead the teachers around town. These vehicle may be honking horns letting the student know they are driving around. I will not be driving around with my emergency lights and siren due to the fact that I have recently advised the public that this would be done in an event of a Tornado Warning. Please continue to follow the recommendations of the C.D.C. during this break. Thank You Chief Trampus Jackson Stover Police Department

April 7th Election Postponed to June 2nd Morgan County Clerk Aimee Worthley announced today that the April 7th General Municipal Election will be postponed to June 2nd due to the CDC recommendations that have been set forth for limited interaction by the public of groups over ten. This decision was not made lightly nor individually. Over 95% of the Local Election Authorities across the state had made a decision to petition the Appellate courts to make this request. With the ...announcement by Governor Parsons that he joins in our concerns and has issued an executive order postponing the election as well, this solidifies the LEA's concerns for their respective counties. While the date of the election has changed, other statutory dates in effect for the election will not. Candidate filing will not be opened back up. The deadline to be registered to vote will still be upheld as March 11, 2020. Voters that turn 18 after the original April 7th election date will not be allowed to vote on June 2nd. Any person wishing to file a declaration of intent to be a write in candidate will need to do so no later than 5 p.m. on March 27th. Dates that will be impacted by the order include - the last day to request an absentee ballot by mail will be moved to 4:30 p.m. on May 20th The last day for in person absentee voting will be by 5:00 p.m. on June 1st. The voter registration office will be open from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. on Saturday, May 30th. Military and overseas citizens have until May 29th to request an absentee ballot. Candidate and campaign committees that are supporting or opposing issues on the April 7th ballot should consult the Missouri Ethics Commission regarding campaign filing deadlines associated with the new election date. Voters that have already cast an absentee ballot for the April 7th election will not need to cast a new one. Those ballots will be included in the election count on June 2nd. Worthley stated, Information has been rapidly evolving over COVID-19. Elections aren't immune from that uncertainty. As a local election authority, I have a duty to protect the integrity of the election and the health and safety of our voters, election workers and my staff. I appreciate your understanding in this decision. If you need further information please feel free to contact the County Clerk's Office at 573-378 5436. See more

A message from Mr. Unger, Superintendent of Schools. #BulldogNation Expect the Best: We Are the Bulldogs!

The Stover storm siren has been struck by lightning and is not currently working . if Stover goes under a tornado warning officers will drive around the city with emergency lights and sirens sounding . Officers will also be announcing on their P.A system that there is a tornado warning in effect. When the warning is lifted, officers will announce on their P.A. system. The City is currently working on replacing the storm siren, but it could take some time. Thank you for your understanding.

There will be a public hearing on May 20th at 6:30 pm preceding the city council meeting to discuss the cdbg block grant to improve city streets.
