The Saint Louis County Council on Aug. 5 approved a package of ordinances and grant acceptances and adopted two resolutions.
Multiple final-passage motions were called and passed by roll call. For a series of bills (including numbers 153, 154, 155, 157, 158, 159, 160, 161, 162, 163, 164 and 165), the clerk recorded six ayes and one absent; each motion was declared "finally passed." The enacted items include routine authorizations, contracting approvals and appropriations described on the agenda as grants or contract authorizations.
The council also adopted Resolution 1, tied to the Michael Brown commemoration event, and Resolution 2 recognizing the 75th anniversary of Bellefontaine Neighbors; both passed on unanimous recorded votes among those present with one member absent.
What this means: These approvals permit the county executive and relevant department heads to proceed with execution of the authorized contracts, grants and administrative changes that were described on the agenda. The council did not identify any of these items as controversial during the roll-call votes.
Next steps: Departments will proceed with implementation and execution of documents as authorized by the passed ordinances; the clerk will publish the adopted ordinances and any required grant agreements.
