Creve Coeur council adopts EV-charging ordinance, awards Lindbergh/Old Olive contract and approves LiveScan subscription
Summary
Council unanimously adopted a substitute ordinance regulating electric-vehicle charging station signage and use, approved a ~$2.06 million Lindbergh/Old Olive improvement contract with roughly $480,000 local share, and authorized a five-year LiveScan subscription under a state grant; several other items were set for second reading.
Creve Coeur — At its regular meeting, the City Council took a string of votes on infrastructure and equipment matters, approving an electric-vehicle ordinance, a major road-and-signal contract and a fingerprinting-equipment subscription.
Electric-vehicle ordinance (Substitute Bill 6150) The council adopted Substitute Bill 6150, which updates zoning code sections related to electric-vehicle charging and adds signage provisions tied to the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices. Staff told the council the ordinance allows applicants to propose minor sign deviations subject to staff approval; the council approved the ordinance by roll call, unanimously.
Lindbergh/Old Olive streetscape project (Resolution 1767) Council approved Resolution 1767 to award a construction contract for the Lindbergh/Old Olive improvement project. Staff reported seven bids were received and that state/federal grants are expected to fund roughly $1.6 million of the total, leaving about $480,000 as the city’s local share to come from the City Capital Fund. MoDOT concurrence was obtained because federal/state funding is involved. The council voted in favor by roll call; the motion passed.
LiveScan fingerprint device subscription (Resolution 1768) The council authorized a five-year subscription with IDEMIA Identity & Security USA LLC for a LiveScan fingerprint device and printer. Police Chief Jeff Hartman said the state grant covers year one and that historically subsequent years have also been funded, although funding for years 2–5 is not guaranteed. Staff noted a typographical error in the resolution’s cost figure and the council amended the resolution to correct the device cost before voting; the resolution passed unanimously.
Other items - Bill 6151 (text amendment for stand-alone new-car dealership signage) and Bill 6153 (cost-share with Great Rivers Greenway for the Centennial Greenway segment) were presented and set for a subsequent council meeting (first readings). - The consent agenda and acceptance of the meeting agenda passed unanimously.
The council used roll-call votes for each passage; council members recorded 'Aye' for the motions listed above. Several items — including the dealership sign code amendment and the Centennial Greenway cost-share — will return for final consideration at the next meeting.
