St. Louis City committee approves two-week postings for 5th and 9th Ward legislative assistants
Summary
The St. Louis City Personnel and Administration Committee on Nov. 6 approved minutes from Oct. 9 and voted to post legislative assistant positions for the 5th and 9th wards with two-week application windows. Both motions passed without recorded opposition in the brief meeting.
The St. Louis City Personnel and Administration Committee voted Thursday to approve minutes from Oct. 9, 2025, and to post legislative assistant openings for the 5th and 9th wards with two-week application periods.
The actions came in a short, mostly procedural meeting that the chair opened by calling the roll and noting three members present. The committee recorded unanimous procedural votes on the minutes and on the two personnel postings; the chair said both positions would be posted "quickly." The aldermen representing each ward asked that their respective postings remain open for two weeks: the alderman from the 5th Ward said, "I'd like to keep it open for 2 weeks," and the alderman from the 9th Ward said, "2 weeks, please." These statements were recorded during the discussion before the motions were moved and seconded and the clerk declared the motions passed.
The committee did not discuss job descriptions, salary ranges, or candidate selection procedures on the record; no written testimony was submitted. The chair noted upcoming meetings on Nov. 13 (anticipated to last about an hour) and Nov. 20 (anticipated to run about two hours) before adjourning the session.
