Board approves PeopleSoft support, Zen City survey amendment and DOJ DNA grant
Summary
The board approved a resolution on July 1 to authorize three agreements: Aspire Consulting PeopleSoft support ($281,580), a Zen City public‑safety survey amendment ($52,248), and a Department of Justice DNA capacity enhancement grant with no local match required.
The St. Louis Board of Police Commissioners on July 1 approved a package of contract actions and a federal grant to support department operations and investigations.
Mr. Sullivan told the board the package included a PeopleSoft support agreement with Aspire Consulting for $281,580, an amendment to continue a Zen City public‑safety survey for $52,248, and a Department of Justice DNA backlog‑reduction grant that requires no local matching funds. The board moved to approve those agreements through resolution 2026‑34 and carried the motion in a roll‑call vote.
Why it matters: The PeopleSoft contract provides ongoing enterprise‑system support for the department’s financial and human‑resources platforms during the transition to county accounting. The Zen City amendment continues community‑input surveying the department says it uses to read public sentiment and trends. The DOJ grant funds DNA lab capacity and overtime to address case backlogs without requiring local matching funds.
What was said: “The Aspire is 281,580 and the Zen City contract is $52,248,” Mr. Sullivan said while describing the fiscal notes. He also noted the DOJ grant carries no general‑fund impact.
Next steps: The chief of police is authorized to execute the approved agreements per the resolution language. The department will report further implementation details in future budget and committee meetings.
