Committee authorizes up to $70,000 for Board of Aldermen office renovations
Summary
The Personal Administration Committee approved up to $70,000 to update furniture, replace carpet and perform asbestos remediation in Board of Aldermen offices (Rooms 232 and 234), with purchases to be made now and physical work planned for mid-July during the board recess.
The St. Louis City Personal Administration Committee on April 30 approved an authorization of up to $70,000 to refurbish Board of Aldermen offices, including furniture updates, carpet replacement and asbestos remediation in portions of Rooms 232 and 234.
Deputy Chief of Staff Christina Gracio told the committee that bids place the cost “right under $67,000,” and asked members to authorize up to $70,000 to cover potential incidentals. “We do have funding available still from fiscal year 26 funds that would be nice to use before the cutoff in May,” Gracio said.
Chairman Cohen asked for questions and members clarified the schedule and logistics. Gracio said purchases would be made now and physical work would start in mid-July during the board’s recess so offices are ready when members return; staff would temporarily relocate as needed. She said the work is similar to renovations performed in Room 230 last year and includes updates to the Policy Suite in the President’s Office (Room 232) and office-area work in Room 234.
An alderman from the 14th Ward moved to authorize the expenditure and an alderwoman from the 10th Ward seconded the motion. The clerk called the roll and three members voted aye; the motion carried.
Chairman Cohen also asked that staff inventory furnishings and the contents of any furniture removed during the project; Gracio agreed. The committee recorded an excused absence for President Greene and then adjourned.
