Kahrs Steps Down as Board President

The city of Osage Beach has a new board president.

Last night Alderman Steve Kahrs unexpectedly stepped down from the post that he had held for the past five years.

The Ward 2 Alderman made a motion to step down as president and nominated Ward 1 Alderman Ron Schmitt for the post. The board voted and approved Schmitt’s nomination unanimously.

Also last night the second reading of the budget passed 5 to 1 with Kahrs casting the lone no vote.
