The Cape Girardeau City Council met on Monday, March 16 and approved a Capital Improvements Plan and gave first round approval to the recommendations of pay study the city had completed by an independent firm.

Samantha Rinehart is a reporter with the Southeast Missourian and she says the approval of the new police station and the new transfer station were highlights of the CIP. Both are now fully funded.

The majority of the council meeting was devoted to discussing a new pay structure for the city. Rinehart says the plan presented by the outside group CBIZ was given first round approval but that discussions on this topic will likely continue in the months ahead.
