Council members voting yes included Councilman Swanson, Councilman Bridal, Councilman Hammond, Councilman Elam, Councilman Hollander, Councilwoman York and Councilman Baker. The chair announced that Resolution 25‑07 is approved.

The resolution adopts the regional mitigation plan for the five‑year period, aligning the county with the Saint Louis region's hazard‑mitigation strategy and positioning the county to apply for mitigation grants that require a current local or regional plan.

No substantive debate was recorded during the meeting on this resolution; council members proceeded to a roll‑call vote after the item was presented.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","St. Charles County Council Meeting 6.9.25 (Audio enhanced reupload)","oneSentenceSummary","St. Charles County Council voted unanimously to adopt the St. Louis Regional Hazard Mitigation Plan covering 2025–2030, allowing the county to align with regional disaster‑risk reduction priorities and access mitigation funding.","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},6205878,"Council approves 2025 CDBG annual action plan; public comment flags CARES Act reallocation and unmet needs",929,2496000,3425000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3768159-9fc0867dee0430feb253d8524c1a57ea&start=2496&end=3425","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3768159-9fc0867dee0430feb253d8524c1a57ea/thumbnail_2496000.jpg","/articles/6205878/St-Charles-County/Missouri/Council-approves-2025-CDBG-annual-action-plan-public-comment-flags-CARES-Act-reallocation-and-unmet-needs","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6205878-db6cd4cdc46c2578f998e5fb6956dd52/orig.mp4?Expires=1771179017&Signature=N-VMF~8wRfPRHntUEAv2w6Tn4I90J1cKzBpeKndORXLt5JQx1PnWpFPyUXvnxC~UxO1SkoPPlyRRB3eAaDnqZtnDSy3h2OoNJouA1jp9zRKGYZhb5WYdGTnj-5DGN8hd~i0pn4z73agmQM8XX8Gapn51Dc00jQMykJKxIwvNKnGW~gvpLeZ1YUm-xTkolJRmTS9I3OwTwC9eSMtaLvQukT4I61v-cl6TQ~qtd8bxX8NiOGSQIiynr2eeht-HW9JssXKmhLDbUNr8BRxJE9GSEoHb2bblkokkGC7BPX85l1HkUXhyZu~oUtSU5OunViKd13gXGJ4FaJHg6cgkQaOHHg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The St. Charles County Council on June 9 approved Bill 53‑92, the county's 2025 annual action plan under the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program and also passed Bill 53‑93, an amendment to the 2019 action plan under the Saint Louis Home Consortium that reallocates unused CARES Act (CDBG‑CV) funds.

During the public hearing before the vote, Arnie C. Dinoff, County Public Advocate, told the council he had investigated the county's consolidated CDBG plan and raised several concerns about municipal participation and program scope. \"We have a couple municipalities that are missing from the equation,\" Dinoff said, naming New Melle, West Alton and Portage Des Sioux as municipalities he found had not adopted local ordinances to participate in the consolidated plan. He recommended outreach to those jurisdictions and suggested consolidation with O'Fallon to reduce administrative overhead.

Dinoff also itemized leftover CARES Act reallocation amounts that are proposed to be spent under Amendment No. 4 to the 2019 action plan: roughly $208,000 in total reallocated funds, including a $93,400 mental‑health assistance allocation tied to Compass Health that he said was not expended, $50,000 unspent for small business assistance, and about $8,200 left for rent assistance. He said $105,000 in administrative savings was returned to the reallocation pool and questioned a proposed weatherization use that he described as averaging about $8,500 per household.

\"We need to address our homeless in St. Charles County,\" Dinoff said, urging wider countywide access to prevention and transportation programs that he said currently rely heavily on federal funds and local municipal contributions.

The council's votes: Bill 53‑92 (2025 annual action plan) passed on roll call with affirmative votes recorded by Councilmen Hammond, Elam, Hollander, York, Baker, Swanson and Bridal. Bill 53‑93 (2019 amendment/CARES reallocation) also passed on roll call with the same affirmative votes.

County staff present at the hearing (noted in public comment) included the county's consolidated plan administrator and representatives who prepared the staff recommendation and the action plan submittal to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The bills authorize the County Executive to execute certifications and funding agreements required by HUD upon approval.

Arnie Dinoff asked whether the county had contacted O'Fallon about joining the consolidated plan; the transcript records an appeal to assistant director of administration, Mr. Ludwig, for follow‑up. The council did not make a separate, immediate additional appropriation at the June 9 meeting; the bills authorize submission and execution of HUD documentation for the action plan and amendment.

The county's CDBG annual action plan and the CARES Act amendment are subject to HUD rules and to the administrative procedures described in the adopted consolidated plan and action plan documents.","The County Council approved the 2025 annual action plan for the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program and an amendment to the 2019 action plan reallocating leftover CARES Act funds; public commenters urged wider countywide use of programs and questioned allocations for weatherization versus mental‑health and homelessness services.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6205883,"CCRB presents assessment showing broad reach and rising youth mental‑health risks in St. Charles County",559,2077000,2636000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3768159-9fc0867dee0430feb253d8524c1a57ea&start=2077&end=2636","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3768159-9fc0867dee0430feb253d8524c1a57ea/thumbnail_2077000.jpg","/articles/6205883/St-Charles-County/Missouri/CCRB-presents-assessment-showing-broad-reach-and-rising-youth-mentalhealth-risks-in-St-Charles-County","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6205883-0398b6ebcbed5ee0bd157668dcab3996/orig.mp4?Expires=1771179017&Signature=nTE-qVAGYIXCwy5iI1~xrtghOyx4yq5UsQDdASKyaHl2yfJlJmx-DakWOZ10x5JPaenhlYl-97i2shEx0AyhOUSJczRN6Is~r7GB35~DnDm0HKVmIFr7EmnRbPqhSJeoR9fvAY~YsaNJYruB05vCzOpTT5QJvG4P2gceyu9cZ5dudnYUbp2oLP~IyQEVjIWjvion0c-N~Whmq3Wt6HENbF5gXcj6I53r-kt71N25hdV1F9M-HLyKUpT-k~NdFMD6OuJfNeEChGX-LhLMboXjIoR1Bv0HUatO48QWnVEjBZ~YBfZxEMoy4leFhknEq4xmCXLXlIGw6Vpogg-JsMHJqg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Melinda McElhinney, executive director of the Community and Children's Resource Board of Saint Charles County, told the County Council on June 9 that CCRB-funded programs served every ZIP code in the county in 2023 and reached an estimated 100,000 youth, 5,000 parents and 2,500 professionals.

\"This year, we're investing up to 15 and a half million dollars in 69 programs at 38 different agencies,\" McElhinney said, describing CCRB's funding mechanism as an eighth‑of‑a‑cent sales tax created by county voters in 2004 to pay for children's mental‑health and substance‑use services.

McElhinney said the CCRB's new 2023 community needs assessment found multiple strengths — lower rates of substantiated child abuse and neglect, lower infant mortality and a 94 percent high‑school graduation rate — but also several emerging concerns. \"Youth self‑injury rose from 11 percent in 2012 to 21.5 percent in 2022,\" she said, and she cited increases in youth suicide indicators and in the intensity of symptoms providers are seeing.

The report, McElhinney said, includes four versions ranging from an executive summary to in‑depth data tables; she encouraged council members to share the assessment with staff and constituents and to join CCRB in convening community stakeholders around the issues highlighted.

McElhinney described program categories the board funds — prevention, crisis stabilization, early intervention and treatment — and summarized county reach figures: \"81 percent of school‑age kids in the county received at least one prevention service funded by CCRB,\" and \"12.5 percent of youth were served through a CCRB funded direct service.\" She also flagged provider concerns about staff turnover and burnout, and noted that more intense symptoms can mean longer treatment and greater staffing demands.

Council members thanked McElhinney for the presentation; no formal council action on CCRB funding took place at the June 9 meeting.

CCRB materials and four versions of the needs assessment are available on the CCRB website for council members and the public to review.","The Community and Children's Resource Board told the County Council its 2023 needs assessment finds wide program reach but rising self‑harm and suicide indicators among county youth, and urged council members to help convene stakeholders.","actionData","errors"]
