The Liberty City Council met in a special called meeting Monday. Once again the issue of city stickers was on the agenda. 

Councilman Brian Beeler suggested, at a rate of $35, the stickers could potentially provide a revenue to the city with a conservative estimate of around $96,000 for the year...  
 

The council has been trying to come up with a plan to provide a $5 raise for the City Police Department which amounts to an extra $62,400 for the year...
 

Citizen, Chuck Dorman asked about the effect on the older community members...
 

Councilman Micah Meece suggested bumping the cost of the stickers up to $40. Councilman Richard Montgomery made a motion for an ordinance to require a city sticker for residents of the city of Liberty and employees who work inside the city limits at a rate of $40. Violation would result in a fine of $100 plus court costs. The motion was seconded by councilman Brian Beeler and approved by a vote of 5-1, with councilman Chase Dial the only No Vote. The council will have a second reading of the ordinance at their next regular meeting in July.
