The bill “allow[s] the mayor's office and the comptroller in the city of Saint Louis to come into an agreement with MSD to basically create a sewer line,” Alderman Aldridge said while presenting the measure. He said the exhibits attached to the bill show the easement process and maps of where the MSD line would run.

The measure matters because it clears a utility-connection step tied to an earlier street vacation the committee approved to combine parcels for the call center site. Alderman Aldridge said the sewer line would run from the alley adjacent to the site to the main MSD line on Jefferson. He also noted that the bill itself does not authorize construction of the call center.

Committee members did not raise substantive objections. Alderman Kerr said, “I don't have any questions. Just excited for every step we take towards the of this new call center.” Alderman Schweitzer likewise offered no questions. No members of the public signed up to testify.

Alderman Aldridge said he had reached out to city agencies and that the Building and Permits/Services (BPS) office would be available to answer outstanding technical questions before the bill reaches perfection on third reading. He asked the committee for a due-pass recommendation; the committee moved and, hearing no objection, granted the recommendation.

The committee’s action is a recommendation to the Board of Aldermen; the measure will still need to proceed through subsequent readings and any required administrative steps, including finalization of the easement documents with MSD. The committee record and bill exhibits identify the easement route and related property exhibits but do not specify the exact street name in the transcript excerpt provided.

For follow-up, city staff and MSD will be the parties to finalize the easement language and technical work; the bill as heard does not set construction timelines or appropriate construction funds.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Public Infrastructure. & Utilities Committee - July 2, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The Public Infrastructure and Utilities Committee on July 2 voted to give a due-pass recommendation to board bill 48, which authorizes the mayor’s office and the comptroller of St. Louis City to enter an agreement with the Metropolitan St. Louis Sewer District (MSD) for a sewer easement to serve a planned 911 call center.","taxTitle","St. Louis City, St. Louis County, Missouri","taxId",2587,"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},6180085,"Committee highlights STL Recovers tornado-assistance programs and where residents can enroll",52,751000,803000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5120950-bf7056332c2077e2ead1fe9501e4d06f&start=751&end=803","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5120950-bf7056332c2077e2ead1fe9501e4d06f/thumbnail_751000.jpg","/articles/6180085/St-Louis-City/St-Louis-County/Missouri/Committee-highlights-STL-Recovers-tornado-assistance-programs-and-where-residents-can-enroll","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6180085-c3eade582b221012c69944b344cdff2b/orig.mp4?Expires=1770440178&Signature=K4hCMvtTvFaWGRBfj3VT8FfdJR0oRhTqoefvjE~U6KKDQvsn53A0Wg55w7rmvPkI8DIqlqKElia35WpgBHg-Bc1MOsUaQCMiCXBvUJlxiK53A0wp8Q6AlzDGunebB7428XjY3HILsisi8yIdJGEb2twXSQVu1VXGwbZSXkoJ-zOrHKpw-p1cfcDky0rpQrsYPaqoNegSXOmwtImW1XO~HK76~rwC5yNOe3sYDSGNf66IaYLuZL0PN47mPen0gi~O789VLhX6SU9S1Hvf5A0MUFYm3OVr01wp-dMqCu7JxjWML6eX9DEll3xUS-x0k2r9aQqAqKJO38RzyE1jgJ9dDA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","A member of the Public Infrastructure and Utilities Committee announced July 2 that Mayor Tishaura Jones had rolled out recovery programs under the city’s STL Recovers effort to assist residents affected by recent tornado damage. The announcement listed programs for contractor referral, electrical reconnection assistance and emergency stabilization and directed residents to the city’s recovery webpage.

The committee member said: “All of these programs can be found on the St. Louis City stlouis-mo.gov website under the STL Recovers tab.” The speaker recommended the website as the primary resource for residents seeking help or for those who want to volunteer or donate.

Committee members described the website as comprehensive and encouraged constituents with tornado-related questions to use it as the starting point for assistance. No policy action or votes were taken on the announcement; it was delivered as a member announcement to inform constituents about available city resources.

For enrollment or more information the committee directed residents to the STL Recovers page on the City of St. Louis website; residents should follow the city’s instructions there for eligibility, documentation and next steps.","A committee member announced city-run recovery programs launched after recent tornado impacts, directing residents to the St. Louis City recovery website for enrollment in services including contractor referral, electricity reconnection assistance and emergency stabilization.",{"_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},6180090,"Committee backs street-calming bill that would clear way for possible speed hump in Boulevard Heights",107,589000,696000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5120950-bf7056332c2077e2ead1fe9501e4d06f&start=589&end=696","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5120950-bf7056332c2077e2ead1fe9501e4d06f/thumbnail_589000.jpg","/articles/6180090/St-Louis-City/St-Louis-County/Missouri/Committee-backs-street-calming-bill-that-would-clear-way-for-possible-speed-hump-in-Boulevard-Heights","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6180090-13edc37d2f1c5046088b828e4b9cca95/orig.mp4?Expires=1770440178&Signature=WhJhcyp5KvdmzpKMQ1JDXvGxJvMNV53C~dFQaMr2y9lecxZEdOdoT~qkgVqTuVjlxfjvMzt3FhBOmXZWJgtxAgb1e~2hXARCN12ByoNVVJvYqJfdhcPTB3wALmYW1sf9AzcBcrPnrEG0nLrjw5y2YO4pj3JFjoHzNCJRYFFex3dF6GG5h7oLyRQGxZBJAfEXssS3MZvRAEhfP0v4lzYbrnknPKICLUUekMSJesDAm0Dvd2u7N2MK9cbu3tPaHJ39UaySdDfoKb-FIsr3JrC3cV1-803ghk4lZI4NR5s8qVUX23vXwK0qAqVpF88BJP0drmiqRokPpT7AM9p9QPEImg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Public Infrastructure and Utilities Committee on July 2 recommended board bill 51 for due pass. The bill was introduced to expedite processing of a resident petition to install a speed hump on a short, narrow block with a cul-de-sac in the Boulevard Heights neighborhood.

Alderman Schweitzer said a resident had requested traffic-calming and was in the process of collecting signatures on the required petition. She said past petitions conducted under a prior alderman were not on record and that she did not want the resident to wait through the city’s summer recess to pursue the measure.

“This is a resident who's reached out a few weeks ago about getting a, speed hump installed on his block, and they're filling out the petition forms as we speak,” Alderman Schweitzer said. She added that if signatures were not collected or block support did not materialize she intended to place the measure on the informal calendar the following week.

Committee members offered support and had no questions. No members of the public registered to testify. The committee moved the bill and, hearing no objection, granted a due-pass recommendation.

Next steps are verification of the petition signatures and any standard traffic-calming technical review by city staff before installation of traffic-calming devices if the petition meets program criteria.","Board bill 51 received a due-pass recommendation from the Public Infrastructure and Utilities Committee; the measure was filed to expedite a resident petition to install a speed hump on a short, narrow block in the Boulevard Heights neighborhood and will be subject to standard petition verification.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6180095,"Committee recommends vacating alley to let Lift for Life Academy combine lots for athletic field",111,339000,450000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5120950-bf7056332c2077e2ead1fe9501e4d06f&start=339&end=450","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5120950-bf7056332c2077e2ead1fe9501e4d06f/thumbnail_339000.jpg","/articles/6180095/St-Louis-City/St-Louis-County/Missouri/Committee-recommends-vacating-alley-to-let-Lift-for-Life-Academy-combine-lots-for-athletic-field","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6180095-b7b4298c025d4542593cc6884d044517/orig.mp4?Expires=1770440178&Signature=jAJEVqiH6zQHL8IvKU1exH0HwkPpsF9POazQZFW9ob7z0vXp1tEpVjAuQokklHyLGffp42zf1LqcxGo-ZvooIlvb7FGRm16UNzd8Tnh7-EirCdiKkvZ4S2cjYOkp9IW9oqpOn5EcKNNwkCWWhoNyai0nZ7kARowDzpkpZo3qjjX3ZTB-h4ykckRByFtPmE7-jFEw8XVmfeYLmQuYBCv6aSL5M3krm91XDMJblJIF0fndzPOb9Z-UYQvTepLaUMASsOU-7OB-mLVKi7tpFkeumXKcZ6i6eiEQawGFiF5BKet2cXToOnm1Q0PTSSiij994zYwc6ldDaqBO-iBC52mneg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Public Infrastructure and Utilities Committee on July 2 recommended approval of board bill 50, a conditional vacation of an alley in the Eighth Ward so Lift for Life Academy can consolidate parcels and build an outdoor athletic field and future stadium.

“Alderman Schweitzer” introduced the bill as a courtesy measure carried until an Eighth Ward alderperson is appointed. Marshall Cohen, executive director of Lift for Life Academy, testified under oath that the school has operated in St. Louis for 25 years and serves about 850 students. He said the school currently lacks a dedicated outdoor space for physical education and athletics and that two rectangles divided by an alley sit between the school’s parcels.

“we have, I run a charter school in the city of Saint Louis for past 25 years, about 850 students in the city of Saint Louis. And we do not have a place for outdoor PE classes or athletic facilities,” Marshall Cohen said. He asked the committee to allow the alley vacation so the school can “marry the properties together.”

Committee members voiced support. Alderman Clark Hubbard said he has many students from his ward who attended Lift for Life and offered encouragement. No members of the public signed up to testify.

Alderman Schweitzer said the bill was introduced that day to avoid delay during the council’s summer recess and asked for a due-pass recommendation; the committee moved and, hearing no objection, granted it. The bill is conditional and intended to proceed through required administrative reviews and any utility easement or access conditions recorded in the bill exhibits.

Next steps include completion of the alley-vacation process, administrative review of exhibits attached to the bill, and any required coordination with city departments before the vacation can be finalized and the school may begin site work.","The Public Infrastructure and Utilities Committee gave a due-pass recommendation to board bill 50, a conditional alley vacation in the Eighth Ward that would allow Lift for Life Academy to combine adjacent parcels and create an outdoor athletic field and potential stadium.","actionData","errors"]
