Florissant council approves multiple procurement ordinances and appointments; one special‑use bill fails
Summary
On July 13 the council confirmed several vendor contracts (asphalt, crushed stone, police equipment, Milamfi Road services) and made two board appointments; a special‑use ordinance (Bill 10238) failed after debate about property maintenance and noise hours.
The Florissant City Council adopted a series of ordinances and appointments during its July 13 meeting, and it rejected one special‑use application after deliberation.
Appointments and resolutions: The council appointed Gary Maynard to property maintenance and Steve Sutterer to the Landmark and Historic District Commission. The council also adopted Resolution 1080 supporting the Parks & Recreation Department’s application for a St. Louis Municipal Park Grant to fund irrigation for the Florissant Golf Club.
Procurements and contracts: Through roll‑call votes the council approved contracts and appropriations including a contract with Bridgefield LLC for asphalt materials (Bill 10246 → Ordinance 9229), a contract with New Frontier Materials LLC for crushed stone and sand (Bill 10247 → Ordinance 9230), and appropriation of equitable‑sharing funds for police equipment (Bill 10248 → Ordinance 9231). The council also approved transferring leftover Willow Creek sidewalk funds to City Hall entry‑ramp and parking improvements (Bill 10249 → Ordinance 9232) and authorized a supplemental agreement with HR Green for Milamfi Road engineering and inspection services (Bill 10250 → Ordinance 9233).
Failed measure: Bill 10238, an ordinance authorizing a special use for a construction contractor at 1171 North Highway 67, failed on final vote after council members expressed concern over plaza maintenance, trash and noise. Council debate included amendment of noise‑hour language to prohibit loud construction noise except between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m., but the final roll call showed the bill failed.
What happens next: Approved ordinances become city law as numbered; staff will proceed with contract execution and grant applications. The failed special‑use application may be revised and resubmitted if proponents choose to address the council’s concerns.
