University City council unanimously adopts 1% increase to nonuniformed retiree benefits
Summary
On Dec. 8, 2025, the University City Council passed Bill 9577 to raise monthly benefits for nonuniformed retirees and eligible beneficiaries (other than children) by 1% after a unanimous roll-call vote.
The University City Council voted unanimously Dec. 8 to adopt Bill 9577, an ordinance amending section 130.580 of the municipal code to increase monthly benefits for nonuniformed employee retirees and their eligible beneficiaries, excluding children, by 1 percent.
Council Member Stephen McMahon moved to approve the ordinance, and Council Member Teeman seconded the motion. The clerk called the roll; Council Members McMahon, Briner, Fuller, Smotherson, Clay, Teeman and Mayor Crowe each voted “I.” Mayor Crowe declared the bill passed.
The ordinance was presented for third reading during the meeting; no substantive discussion or amendments were recorded on the council floor during the third-reading exchange. Council did not attach a separate effective date in the oral record during the meeting.
The adoption came amid a broadly procedural agenda that included appointments, citizen comments and a consent agenda. Council moved into a closed session later in the evening under Missouri statute 610.021 to discuss legal actions and personnel matters.
