Maplewood council adopts ordinance expanding vehicle-tampering offense, approves Gus’s Fried Chicken liquor license; advances open-meetings and budget items
Summary
On Oct. 28 the Maplewood City Council approved an amendment to the municipal code expanding the motor-vehicle tampering offense, granted a liquor license to Gus’s Fried Chicken at 7434 Manchester Road, passed a county grant resolution for a shredding event and moved several administrative and budget bills to a final reading at a later meeting.
The Maplewood City Council on Oct. 28 adopted a change to the city code that adds unlawfully gaining entry into motor vehicles to the list of offenses related to tampering with motor vehicles and approved a liquor license for a new restaurant at 7434 Manchester Road.
At final reading the council approved Bill 62-97, which the council described as an amendment to Maplewood Code of Ordinances section 50-90 to add the offense of unlawfully gaining entry into motor vehicles and to update related tampering provisions. Mayor Greenberg called for a roll-call vote; the motion carried and the bill was recorded as Ordinance 60-91.
Council also voted to approve a malt-liquor-by-the-drink and Sunday-liquor-by-the-drink license for Gateway Chicken LLC doing business as Gus’s Fried Chicken at 7434 Manchester Road. The mayor and council members recorded their votes and the license was approved.
The council unanimously passed Resolution 25-47, authorizing submission of a 2026 municipal waste reduction grant application to the St. Louis County Department of Public Health to fund a document-shredding event.
Two other measures received readings but will return for a final vote at the next meeting: Bill 62-98, which would add new sections on open meetings and records to chapter 2 (administration) of the Maplewood code, and Bill 62-99, a budget amendment to increase the Prop S allocation for streets and sidewalk improvements. City staff said bids for the Greenwood project returned higher than initially budgeted, and the council agreed to move those items to third and final reading at a later meeting.
The meeting record shows these votes took place by roll call with the council answering “Aye” on the motions called; no recorded votes against the motions were shown in the transcript.
