Summer may be just getting into full swing, but the Independence City Commission is looking ahead to the winter months.

 City Commissioner Dean Hayse noted that the striping in the new parking lots downtown was slightly raised, making it higher than the surrounding asphalt. He was concerned about what might happen to it if it needed to be plowed in the winter.

In other business, commissioners also heard presentations for budget requests for 2025 from Independence Main Street and from the Montgomery County Action Council.
