Rules for Missouri Fourth-Class Cities, Second Edition (2008)

Abstract

Most cities in Missouri are fourth-class cities; some are about as old as the state and others are brand new. The result is an infinite variation in how cities interpret statutes and rules -how one city has always done things is often how another city has never done it! It's a huge undertaking to create a manual covering the fundamentals of what it means to be a fourth-class city. However, this manual covers what cities must do, what they may do, and what they can do. Consider it to be the basic rules for fourth-class cities.
