Jerry Goss intends to open the car-themed restaurant in the former Sunset Grill at 116 West Maple Street. In addition to expanding the grill's menu, he intends to seek out local produce and meats.
"This time she's going to run," Goss said. "The last time, that was before me, but we're going to do the car theme and good food."
Councilman Terry Jordan said under the original owner the former pizzeria had frequently drawn customers from Marshall. He wished Goss similar success. Hot Rod will tentatively open on June 8.
The council approved Goss' liquor licenses in addition to licenses for Casey's General Store, MFA Break Time, Slater Veterans' Club, Dollar General, JJ's Liquor and the Bear Creek Blues Festival.
Councilpersons Brownell Bryant, Jake Brumit and Harry Lightfoot voted in favor of the licenses. As always when a vote involves liquor, Jordan abstained.
Other business included an update on a potential fee spike from Kansas City Power and Light. During the April 3 council meeting, Mayor Stephen Allegri announced a potential 40 percent increase in the cost of energy once the present contract dissolves in June. Griffith reported on recent negotiations with KCP&L that would allow for a gradual 43 percent increase. He said the second proposal begins with a 14 percent increase for 2013. The rate will spike another 14 percent in 2014, then 10 percent in 2015 and another 10 percent in 2016.
"So it still gets to the same number, but it's yearly increase that allows everyone to budget and when you run the numbers that is the better option for us and the utility payers," Griffith said.
The city is waiting for another bid from another energy provider. No final decisions have been made.
"We're just trying to make the people aware that this is what we're looking at and this is what we're faced with, and we'll know more in a couple of weeks," Griffith said.
