Manchester aldermen unanimously approve liquor-license renewals, committee appointments and $15,000 services agreement for bond defeasance
Summary
At its June 15 meeting the Manchester Board of Aldermen unanimously approved seven liquor-license renewals, appointed and re-appointed members to advisory committees, and authorized up to $15,000 for professional services to assist with defeasance of general obligation bonds.
The Manchester Board of Aldermen on June 15 approved a series of routine and financial items, including the renewal of seven annual liquor licenses, the appointment of a new Audit and Finance Committee member and reappointments to the Planning and Zoning Commission, and a professional services agreement of up to $15,000 to assist with the defeasance of outstanding general obligation bond debt.
Alderwoman Ottenad moved to approve the minutes of the June 1 meeting and later moved to approve the order of items on the agenda; both motions were seconded by Alderman Baumann and carried unanimously, with no objections from any members of the Board.
City Clerk Michelle Melugin told the board the City Clerk’s Office had reviewed submitted documentation and the Police Department had completed required background investigations for seven liquor-license renewal applications; Alderwoman Ottenad moved to approve the renewals, the motion was seconded by Alderman Baumann and carried unanimously.
On appointments, Alderwoman Ottenad moved to appoint Suzanne Smith to the Audit and Finance Committee; the motion was seconded by Alderwoman Huether and carried unanimously. Alderman Baumann moved to reappoint Aaron Bennett (Ward One), Amy Weber (Ward Two) and Angelica Gutierrez (Ward Three) to the Planning and Zoning Committee; that motion was seconded by Alderwoman Ottenad and carried unanimously.
Alderman Bitzer read Proposed Resolution No. 26-1074, described in the title as authorizing the City Administrator to execute a professional services agreement with Stifel, Nicolaus & Company, Inc. not to exceed $15,000 to assist with the defeasance of outstanding general obligation bond debt. Alderman Bitzer moved for approval; the motion was seconded by Alderwoman Huether and carried unanimously.
Two proposed ordinances were read by title only and received no final action at the meeting. Alderman Parmentier read Proposed Bill No. 26-2578, an ordinance amending Chapter 210 related to violations of ex parte or full orders of protection. Alderwoman Huether read Proposed Bill No. 26-2579, a boundary-adjustment plat for two Stone Canyon Circle lots; Alderwoman Ottenad asked that future boundary-adjustment notices include the reason for the request, City Administrator Justin Klocke said he would ask Director Riganti to provide that information going forward, and Mayor Toben explained the adjustment reflected differing survey lines and mutual agreement by the neighbors.
Before a planned closed session, Alderman Baumann moved to release the City’s closed-session minutes for 2025 and the first half of 2026 to Molly Malone of Stapp & VanHoy for due diligence review; the motion was seconded by Alderwoman Ottenad and carried unanimously.
Later in the meeting Alderman Baumann moved to enter closed session under the statutory authority of Chapter 610.021, RSMo, citing attorney–client communications and personnel matters; the motion was seconded by Alderman Bitzer, a roll-call vote was recorded, and the meeting adjourned at 8:59 p.m.
The Board did not record any dissenting votes on the actions taken at the June 15 meeting. The city’s public workshop on the Comprehensive Plan is scheduled for June 17 at Schroeder Park.
