Board continues several building-code and plat items to Sept. 8; approves police vehicle purchase and warrants
Summary
The Aug. 25 Town and Country meeting continued multiple building-code and plat ordinances to the Sept. 8 session, approved a police vehicle purchase order and approved the warrant list; councilors also noted large water and disposal repair charges discussed under the warrant review.
The Town and Country Board of Aldermen on Aug. 25 continued a series of building-code and plat items to the Sept. 8 meeting and approved several administrative purchases and the regular warrant list.
Bills continued to the Sept. 8 meeting for second-reading consideration included Bill No. 25-36 (amending Title 5, Chapter 500 regarding the code official), Bill No. 25-37 (adopting St. Louis County electrical and plumbing codes), Bill No. 25-38 (permanent open space modification and plat amendment on Vandiver Place), Bill No. 25-39 (boundary adjustment plat for DuPont Lane lots), and Bill No. 25-40 (fifth amended site development plan for Town and Country Crossing). Each of those items was read for the first time and continued without substantive council debate to the Sept. 8 meeting.
Separately, the council approved a purchase order for a 2023 Dodge Durango police vehicle in the amount of $38,150, and the board approved the warrant list totaling $188,445.40. During review of the warrants, staff explained two larger charges: $3,408.79 to replace a commercial garbage disposal at the parks facility after a failure and associated extra labor and shipping costs; and two water charges totaling about $6,000 at Town Square caused by a broken irrigation line that ran undetected for an extended period. Aldermen asked staff to investigate leak-detection or flow-monitoring options for irrigation systems.
The board also heard routine reports: a new officer, Roger Weckerly, will be sworn in Aug. 27; the city’s concert series and 75th anniversary events were discussed; and the planning commission’s Vandiver Place item was previewed. Several continuing items and capital projects, including municipal center and firehouse repairs, were raised elsewhere in the meeting as budget priorities.
