St. Louis board approves multiple first-reading items, authorizes ARPA reallocation for water
Summary
The Board approved multiple agenda items for first reading including contracts, capital transfers, a Bloomberg-funded youth climate subaward, a $50,000-per-year lease for Homer G. Phillips Senior Apartments, and an amended Board Bill 43 to reappropriate ARPA funds for water infrastructure; all motions were adopted by roll call.
The St. Louis Board of Estimate and Apportionment on June 18 adopted several first-reading items and emergency ordinances in a single meeting.
The board voted to adopt items 1 through 5 for the first time. Those items included ENA approval of various city contracts and leases listed in exhibit A, a listed contract attachment, transfers between capital-improvement projects (exhibit C), Board Bill 32 to accept a subaward from the Bloomberg Philanthropies Youth Climate Action Fund to activate youth leadership for local climate solutions, and Board Bill 27 — an emergency ordinance authorizing the city's consent to a $50,000 per year lease for the Homer G. Phillips Senior Apartments at 2601 Whittier Street.
Board Bill 43, which seeks to reappropriate unspent American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds from prior city programs for water infrastructure replacement and repair and contains an emergency clause, was presented with committee amendments. The presiding official proposed amending item 6 to reflect amendments the Board of Aldermen HEDs Committee had already passed. The board voted to amend the item and then to adopt Board Bill 43 as amended.
All roll-call votes recorded the three named members present in the roll call — Mayor Spencer, a comptroller whose name is recorded as both 'Banger' and 'Berringer' in the transcript, and President Green — voting 'I' on the motions as listed in the meeting transcript. No recorded votes in the transcript opposed or abstained on these items.
Itemized outcomes at a glance: - Items 1–5: Adopted for first reading (motion moved and seconded; roll call approved). - Item 6 (Board Bill 43): Amended to reflect HEDs Committee changes; amendment and final adoption approved by roll call. - Item 7: Addressed separately (see budget article) and adopted with amendments.
The meeting closed with a recognition of Juneteenth and an adjournment.
