Votes at a glance: Dardenne Prairie Board actions on Nov. 5, 2025
Summary
The board approved municipal election filing dates and a temporary liquor‑license exemption, postponed a conditional use permit, and rejected motions on the Bates Road STBG design authorization and alderman compensation.
At its Nov. 5 meeting the Dardenne Prairie Board of Aldermen recorded several final actions and procedural steps:
• Bill 2,552 — Ordinance setting filing dates, times and place for the April 7, 2026 general municipal election: moved by Alderman Johnson, seconded by Alderman Wilson; adopted as Ordinance 2,385 after roll‑call.
• Bill 2,551 — Ordinance exempting the city from a cited state provision relating to liquor‑license hours (as read in the meeting, referencing "house bill 10 41"): the board held a roll‑call vote and adopted the measure as Ordinance 2,386; staff said they had limited responses from affected businesses.
• Bill 2,548 — Conditional use permit for property at 7827 Town Square Ave., Suites 101–102: applicant asked to postpone because he was out of the country; the board voted to postpone the final vote to the second meeting in November.
• Bill 2,542 — STBG agreement for Bates Road design (STBG 5407662): after public comment and board discussion the motion to advance the agreement to a roll‑call vote failed on the floor (see separate coverage for details).
• Bill 2,550 — Change to alderman compensation (including a proposed $150 monthly stipend intended for technology): board discussion produced objections and the roll‑call vote failed; aldermen debated whether the stipend should instead fund devices or city‑provided phones for older members.
The meeting also included first reading of Bill 2,553 (purchase order with Stewart Signs for a digital sign) with board discussion but no final vote. The meeting adjourned at 7:52 p.m.
