Dardenne Prairie OKs STBG agreement for Weldon Spring Road project
Summary
The Board approved Bill 2,537, authorizing the city administrator to sign a Surface Transportation Block Grant (STBG) agreement with MoDOT for the Weldon Spring Road project; the board said the project had been approved previously and this agreement advances funding steps.
The Dardenne Prairie Board of Aldermen on Aug. 6 approved Bill 2,537 (Ordinance 2,373), authorizing the city administrator to execute a Surface Transportation Block Grant (STBG) agreement with the Missouri Highways and Transportation Commission for the Weldon Spring Road project.
City staff and the city engineer described the measure as administrative: the board had already approved the project for grant application in prior sessions, and this ordinance is the required grant agreement step to secure federal STBG funding. Alderman Johnson moved for a roll-call vote and Alderman Wilson seconded. The roll call recorded affirmative votes; the mayor announced the bill passed as Ordinance 2,373.
Aldermen noted the matter is time-sensitive due to MoDOT and STBG scheduling and that the agreement is a standard next step in the funding process. The ordinance text as read references the STBG grant agreement associated with the Weldon Spring Road project; the transcript gives a grant identifier in the attorney’s reading but the numeric string is not fully clear in the record. The board made no amendments at the meeting.
Next steps: the city administrator is authorized to execute the STBG agreement with MoDOT so the project can proceed through the funding process; staff will coordinate with MoDOT on scheduling and any further requirements.
