JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (KMIZ)

The new members of the Jefferson City Council were sworn in Monday night.

Derek Thomas was sworn in for the Third Ward seat, and Julie Allen was sworn in for the Fourth Ward.

The council also approved a nearly $85 million contract with Bartlett and West for design plans for the Madison Street parking garage demolition project and a housing incentive program that will reimburse developers for building new homes.

The program authorizes up to $560,000 to reimburse developers $5,000 for each new or renovated housing unit. Six companies are seeking reimbursements, according to documents prepared for the city council.

The council is hoping this will grow the workforce and population.
