Commission discusses Fourth of July plans, vacancy recruitment and upcoming roadwork
Summary
The commission discussed parade participation and logistics for July 4, asked members to recruit candidates to fill a vacancy, and received updates on city paving, a culvert replacement requiring detours, parking-garage repairs and the nearby Old Orchard/Big Bend county project starting soon.
Webster Groves — Commissioners reviewed event planning and administrative matters, including parade participation for July 4, outreach to fill a commission vacancy and several planned road projects that will affect traffic and businesses.
On events: members discussed organizing a small-business entry in the July 4 parade, coordinating banners, T-shirts and distribution of porta-potties and barricades with the city. Staff said the city has provided barricades and porta-potties in past years and that the parade committee and chamber will circulate a formal call for participants.
On staffing: Chair asked members to continue recruiting candidates to fill a commission vacancy and to bring names to the next meeting. Several potential volunteers were mentioned but no appointment was made.
On capital projects: staff summarized approved paving and microsurfacing projects and a culvert replacement that will require detours around a route that carries about 19,000 vehicles per day; parking-garage repairs in the old Webster business district will also require short-term closures. The nearby Old Orchard/Big Bend county project is already beginning, and staff advised news inquiries be sent to the county consultant to ensure accuracy.
What’s next: the commission confirmed its next meeting date (June 17) and adjourned by voice vote.
