Board approves several ordinances, adopts summer meeting schedule and schedules second reading for maintenance annex
Summary
The Board of Aldermen unanimously approved multiple ordinances including a cracked‑ceiling contract, a mutual aid public‑works agreement, a primary banking services agreement and engineering services for sidewalks; it adopted a June–August summer meeting schedule and continued the maintenance annex contract (Bill 26‑22) to May 26.
The Town and Country Board of Aldermen approved several routine ordinances on unanimous roll calls and adopted a summer meeting schedule for June through August.
On unfinished business, the board passed Bill 26‑13, accepting the bid and authorizing an agreement with Sweetens Ceiling Services for the 2026 cracked ceiling program; the city clerk called roll and all present voted aye, and the bill became Ordinance No. 4741. Bill 26‑14, authorizing the city administrator to execute a mutual aid public works assistance agreement with St. Louis County municipalities, passed unanimously after aldermen discussed FEMA reimbursement for declared emergencies. Bill 26‑15 (engaging UNB Bank for primary banking services for at least five years) and Bill 26‑16 (authorizing Corner and Shifrin for engineering and surveying services for the Drace Park and Longview Farm Park sidewalk replacement project) both passed on unanimous roll calls.
The board also approved staff travel for the public works director to attend the APWA conference in an amount not to exceed $2,716.56 and adopted Resolution R04‑2026 to set a summer meeting schedule; staff said the resolution includes a sunset just for June–August of this year and that meetings can be recalled with required sunshine‑law posting if an emergency arises.
Several other items — including conditional use requests and contracts related to the Public Works maintenance annex (Bill 26‑22) — were continued to the May 26 meeting for second reading and further consideration. The board voted to go into closed session for legal and personnel matters and recorded a unanimous roll call.
