County council honors North County storm cleanup volunteers and agencies
Summary
St. Louis County Council adopted a resolution honoring volunteers, OpenSpaceSTL, Missouri DOT and county public‑works staff for cleanup following March 14 tornadoes in District 4.
The St. Louis County Council on April 29 adopted a resolution honoring volunteers, nonprofit groups and transportation agencies that helped clean up neighborhoods in North St. Louis County after tornadoes on March 14.
Councilwoman Gretchen Webb introduced Resolution Number 2, which recognizes the response by neighbors, county and state transportation crews, and community groups including OpenSpaceSTL and Spanish Lake Clean & Green. The council approved the resolution by voice vote and a recorded roll call showing seven ayes.
The resolution lists Missouri Department of Transportation staff (including Stanley Andrews, Amir Gady and David Scales), St. Louis County Department of Transportation and Public Works staff (including Ralph Walker, Joshua Cox and Jamie Grimes Tiff), and volunteers and site leaders such as Larry Conant, Steve Silver, Roy Moyer, Kate Moore Freeman and Matthew Walker. The text thanks groups and individuals who cleared streets, filled dumpsters with tree limbs and removed storm debris that followed the March 14 storms.
After adoption, council members and organizers invited those representing cleanup groups to the front of the chamber to receive framed copies. Webb and other speakers praised the volunteers’ work and highlighted the role of county equipment in hauling debris.
The resolution instructs the administrative director to send certified copies to the Missouri Department of Transportation, St. Louis County Department of Public Works, OpenSpaceSTL and Spanish Lake Clean & Green. The measure is ceremonial recognition for the relief effort; it does not appropriate funds or change policy.
