Board of Aldermen Approves Youth Build Grant Acceptance
The Board of Aldermen authorized the acceptance of a grant from the US Department of Labor for the Youth Build Grant. The ordinance, introduced by Alderwoman Clark-Hubbard and others, appropriates funds for the grant and authorizes the Director of the Street of St. Louis Agency on Training and Employment to execute necessary contracts. An emergency clause was included in the ordinance [cite: 118-138, 230-248]. The motion to suspend rules to move Board Bill 63 to the perfection consent calendar was approved with 15 aye votes [cite: 164-191]. Subsequently, the Board adopted the Board Bills on the Perfection Consent Calendar, including Board Bill 63, with the alderman from the fourth, fourteenth, and sixth wards added as co-sponsors [cite: 250-281].
Board of Aldermen Concludes Session with Approvals and Debates on Funding and Resolutions
The Board of Aldermen considered and approved several board bills and resolutions. Board Bill 63, related to the Youth Build Grant, was moved to the perfection consent calendar and adopted [cite: 156-191, 250-281]. Board Bill 60, concerning a $26 million appropriation for Bi-State Development Agency transportation purposes, was debated due to concerns about MetroLink promises and was perfected with 13 aye votes and 5 no votes [cite: 193-225, 282-391]. Board Bills 44, 58, and 62 were reported for third reading and final passage on the consent calendar and adopted [cite: 420-464]. Resolution 82, proposing an amendment to DOT UTCd to allow new street usage, was introduced and sent to the Public Infrastructure Committee [cite: 475-499]. Resolution 84 was introduced after suspending rules [cite: 504-541]. The meeting adjourned until Friday, September 11th, 2026 [cite: 678-686].
Aldermen Debate and Approve $26 Million Appropriation for Bi-State Development Agency
Board Bill 60, introduced by Alderman Cohn and President Green, proposes the appropriation of $26,056,000 from the Transportation Trust Fund to the Bi-State Development Agency for transportation purposes for the fiscal year July 1st, 2026, through June 30th, 2027. The bill includes a severability and emergency clause [cite: 142-153, 282-294]. The motion to suspend rules to move Board Bill 60 to the regular perfection calendar was approved with 14 aye votes and 1 no vote [cite: 193-225]. During the perfection of Board Bill 60, Alderman from the third explained it is a companion to Board Bills 52 and 53, related to annual appropriations for operations, not the green line [cite: 304-314]. Alderwoman from the 12th voted against the bill, expressing strong opposition to Bi-State appropriations due to a perceived broken promise regarding MetroLink funding for North St. Louis, detailing historical context and personal dissatisfaction [cite: 316-391]. The bill was perfected with 13 aye votes and 5 no votes [cite: 416-417].
Proposal to Permanently Close Portion of Oregon Avenue Introduced
Board Bill 64, introduced by Alderwoman Sanye, proposes to permanently close, barricade, or otherwise impede traffic flow on the 2800 block of Oregon Avenue at Pestalozzi Street, 120 ft north of the east curb line. This bill was introduced during first reading and referred to the Public Infrastructure Committee [cite: 104-111, 115-116].
