On Oct. 10 the St. Louis Board of Aldermen suspended the rules to introduce board bill 82 and then held the bill’s first reading. The ordinance, introduced by Alderman Aldrich, authorizes the mayor and comptroller to execute a quitclaim deed to 900 North Tucker 5 Building LLC upon receipt of consideration stated in the bill text and to release certain city-owned property in City Block 534.

The bill text, as read into the record, described the consideration as a sum in the bill (the meeting record identifies the amount in the bill text as $753,275) and referenced property commonly described in the bill as being in City Block 534 and as “commonly known as” addresses on Dr. Martin Luther King Drive. The clerk recorded that board bill 82 would be assigned to the HUD committee for review.

The Board voted to suspend the rules to introduce board bill 82; the roll-call count recorded 13 aye votes on the suspension and the first reading was completed. The meeting record includes the introductory reading and the committee referral; no final action or sale was taken at the Oct. 10 meeting.
