Dean said he watched testimony before the St. Louis County Council and plans to testify there to present his concerns about the project’s cost and transparency.

Dean said a $50,000,000 appropriation has been approved by the legislature and described outstanding concerns about coordination and potential duplication of services among municipalities. He told the council there is an outside law firm bill “to the tune of, I believe, $36,000,” and said O’Fallon had sought $38,000,000 in the current fiscal year from members of the contingent. He also requested disclosure under Chapter 610 of a $125,000 Michael Gibbons report and “$125,000 in salary expenses of Tom Dempsey,” saying, “I think it needs to be available to the public.”

Dean also raised unrelated items including compensation for Board of Equalization members and a roughly $52,000–$53,000 fiber network inventory expense he described as wasteful. He concluded his remarks by thanking the council. The statements were made during public comment; the council did not take action on Dean’s requests during the meeting.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","St. Charles County Council Meeting - January 27, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Arnie Dean, identifying himself as County Public Advocate, used his allotted public comment time to urge transparency about a proposed regional law enforcement training center and to request lobbyist-related documents under Chapter 610; he cited several dollar amounts and named individuals the council should investigate publicly.","taxTitle","St. Charles County, Missouri","taxId",2594,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6364528,"Council introduces ordinance to vacate unused portion of Newsteader Road (Bill 5364); final vote set for two weeks",199,634000,833000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2164595-2620395ff891210740ffdbe476c00d53&start=634&end=833","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2164595-2620395ff891210740ffdbe476c00d53/thumbnail_634000.jpg","/articles/6364528/St-Charles-County/Missouri/Council-introduces-ordinance-to-vacate-unused-portion-of-Newsteader-Road-Bill-5364-final-vote-set-for-two-weeks","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6364528-29b1e5dac0ad2bd1a0e960ab2461b821/orig.mp4?Expires=1775392045&Signature=G9EnsCOKazvXZ4xbYjpehEpjBsQ3KC-VEXxKjmaxHOsqHqaUDWeOA2hvTJKCpd0bE1HGEM7yrvDOcjBMr0b1UT0NhW2fxXYxL1quwiFsYsoOkkeqFtduL3VqRQrsroohSpqL5bv6khgUlHh7i0uxMfSg3JPF4D5OG7-bvDoK18761~40XWTQy1mHsbUV6ZeIJDaE5c7VR6HSNAXPjUIExUD8-cK9Jv6lCjL-MJZfJvyQE0bJedmiVQJEA8i7vP5t7Ci2Yo-D504yweJg5FDugt-kBjSCgc1UhZU5SXUzAjTRoaKw9WugVTNmZBsPy8Emd8~UXKHMuca~Vr6K92XLJw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The St. Charles County Council introduced Bill 5364, an ordinance vacating an unused portion of Newsteader Road lying south from its intersection with Peru Creek Road to the south line of the northeast quarter of section 10 Township 40 7 North Range 3 East, pursuant to Section 228.110 of the Revised Statutes of Missouri. The bill was read for introduction on the record; the council scheduled the item for final vote in two weeks.

Sean Breiner, who identified himself as representing the co-petitioners, told the council the road is a “paper road” platted in 1869 that was never used. Breiner said his clients purchased an adjacent parcel that had formerly been owned in fee by New Star Pipeline Company and that the petitioners provided an easement to resolve the neighbor’s access concern.

Councilman Hammond asked a policy question about the county’s approach to giving away easements and noted that if the county needed a piece of property back in the future the county would typically need to pay for it. Hammond cited a recent example where a bridge closure and road closure had led to granting adjacent property owners easements and said the council should consider a general policy on when the county transfers easements or vacates roads. The council agreed to take the item up for a final vote in two weeks; no final action or roll-call vote occurred at the introduction.

The transcript does not record the full legal description beyond what the clerk read, the ordinance number beyond 5364, any appraisal or compensation amounts, or any conditions that might accompany a final vacation ordinance.","The council introduced Bill 5364 to vacate an unused portion of Newsteader Road under Section 228.110, RSMo.

The permit authorizes a campground use on the parcel identified in CUP24-07; the transcript does not specify conditions attached to the permit or the project’s exact acreage, phasing, or a construction timetable. The council did not take additional public testimony at the final-passage vote because the public hearing was held previously.

The action resolves the conditional use permit item on the council’s agenda and moves the project forward under local land-use authority. No appeals, effective dates, or subsequent implementation steps were stated on the record at the final vote.","The St. Charles County Council approved Bill 5362, granting conditional use permit CUP24-07 for a campground with cottages and camping cabins on property owned by SFH Properties LLC and applied for by Sunflower Hill LLC; the measure passed by roll call with affirmative votes from all members who responded.","actionData","errors"]
