The LaSalle City Council approved a series of routine but consequential actions at its meeting, including a special-use permit for a portion of the parking lot at 328 3rd Street, authorization of a pay request for emergency water-main work, the sale of municipally owned property at 716 Buckland Street and several ordinances addressing firefighter compensation and parking.
Special-use permit and ordinance: Council considered and approved the planning commission's recommendation to grant a special-use permit for a portion of the lot behind 328 3rd Street involving LaSalle Gateway LLC and Uncle Chuck's Pizzeria LLC. Applicant Anthony Roland was present and affirmed the representations he made before the planning commission; councilors voted to approve the permit and the related ordinance.
Property sale: The council approved an ordinance authorizing the sale of municipally owned real estate known as 716 Buckland Street. Council discussion noted that the purchasers must combine two lots as part of the transaction.
Public-works payment: Council authorized payment request number 2 to Universal Asphalt & Excavating Inc. totaling $136,986.62 for work on the Malcolm Creve Coeur and Gunn Avenue emergency water-main replacements (2025). The motion to accept and pay the invoice was moved and seconded and the council approved it on roll call.
Ordinances and approvals: Council passed an ordinance amending compensation, hiring and residency rules for on-call firefighters and first responders and approved a parking ordinance establishing a handicapped parking space at the 4th Street entrance to 536 Wright Street. The council also approved multiple routine licenses and permits and accepted the treasurer's April 2026 report.
The police chief announced two grants for the department during general updates: approximately $11,300 for fingerprint equipment and roughly $3,100 through the Bulletproof Vest Partnership for ballistic vests. The council wrapped up by approving bills totaling $895,851.14 and adjourning the meeting.
Actions taken were routine in form but affect public safety, local infrastructure and municipal assets; staff will follow up on required conditions for sales and payments.
