Summary
At the Jan. 13 meeting the council passed multiple ordinances authorizing engineering and consultant agreements and amended a Tyler Technologies contract. An amendment tying a developer payment to the Latitude N38 proposal failed; other items were adopted as read.
The Wildwood City Council handled a mix of infrastructure and administrative legislation at its Jan. 13 meeting. Key outcomes:
- Route 109/BA roundabout construction engineering: Council approved a consultant agreement with HR Green for construction engineering services on the Route 109/BA roundabout improvement project (Bill 29‑47). Staff estimated a construction duration of roughly six months once work begins.
- Consultant and design authorizations: The council approved ordinance amendments to increase consultant authorization amounts for shared‑use path and Route 100 J‑Turn design work (Bills 29‑48 and 29‑49). It also approved a cost‑share agreement with St. Louis County to install a high‑friction surface treatment on sections of Old State Road (Bill 29‑50) and extended accounting consultant services (Bill 29‑51).
- Accounting software hosting: Council amended and approved an agreement with Tyler Technologies for accounting software licensing, maintenance and cloud hosting (Bill 29‑52). The city administrator asked that the version included in the city administrator’s memo be adopted as the final exhibit.
- Code enforcement and building codes: The council approved amendments to adopt residential occupancy permits for rental units into several building and safety codes and reauthorized a Saint Louis County agreement for code enforcement services (Bills 29‑58 and 29‑59). The council also authorized a legislative consultant agreement (Bill 29‑56).
- Failed amendment tied to Latitude N38: During the Latitude N38 discussion, Council member Kranz moved to amend the pending motion to require the developer to pay $340,000 toward Main Street construction; the amendment failed on a roll‑call vote. The council later postponed further legislative action on the Latitude N38 appeal to allow staff to return with additional engineering and cost detail.
How to read the bills: each ordinance passed on second reading unless noted. The council also approved multiple items on first reading to be finalized at subsequent meetings where required by city procedures.
What’s next: construction engineering for the Route 109/BA roundabout is scheduled to proceed in spring with a roughly six‑month construction window once permits and project scheduling are finalized. The Tyler Technologies contract will be executed with the adopted exhibit; the city noted no change in FY2025 budget impact for that item.
