The Branson Board of Aldermen hosted a meeting on Tuesday, July 11, with their city attorney for a refresher course on the power of elected officials in a fourth class city.
Attorney Joe Lauber of Lauber Municipal Law, who is contracted with the city to provide city attorney services, laid out for the aldermen the placement of Branson as a fourth class city under the Missouri revised statutes.
Lauber began his presentation regarding “practical advice” for the aldermen, noting they are the ones who set up the ordinances and regulations within the city, similar to the legislative branch of the state and federal government. The day-to-day operations of the city fall to the staff, under the direction of the city administrator and other department directors.
