Finance committee chair Alderman Wissbrock presented monthly finance data prepared by Timmy Allsup, CPA. The board heard that combined sales tax generation for the reporting period totaled $892,351, of which 50% ($446,037) was redistributed; the finance memo noted pooled and redistributed amounts for the city’s sales‑tax receipts and a total cash‑investment balance of $28,697,968 as of June 30.
Why it matters: the budget amendment enacts spending or reallocation changes for FY2025 and the sales‑tax figures are an operational revenue indicator. The board adopted the ordinance by roll call; one member recorded a Nay on the vote to adopt the fiscal‑year amendment but the motion carried.
Next steps: Finance staff will implement approved budget adjustments and continue monthly reporting to the finance committee; the ordinance and detailed line‑item changes are recorded in the city’s budget documents.

Alderman Hills moved approval of the park beautification day and the GoFull Newton request; Alderman Jokers and Alderman Harrell seconded respective motions and both motions carried. The board also considered and adopted bill 25‑58 by roll call; the second reading made it ordinance 45‑79, authorizing the mayor to execute the pickleball agreement.
Committee notes in the meeting packet flagged additional parks items under review, including a bid to move the Old Town Pavilion, improvements to the Fabic Nature Preserve overlook, and parts projects proposed for the 2026 budget; the committee tabled those items for further consideration. The board approved the time and date for the beautification event and delegated implementation steps to Parks and Recreation staff.
What to expect next: event logistics, volunteer coordination and any vendor or contractor work for the pickleball academy will be handled by Parks and Recreation under the terms of the approved agreement and existing municipal permitting procedures.

The department reported 32 arrests and said law‑enforcement activity was concentrated around business corridors and Gravois Bluffs.
Pliviak said the department deployed a radar trailer to River Hills Drive and a stealth speed camera on Water Street after a citizen complaint. “The average speed was 26,” Pliviak said of the Water Street deployment, noting a recorded top speed of about 42–43 mph in a posted 20 mph zone. The department said about 85% of recorded vehicles exceeded the posted limit on that stretch.
The report said shoplifting and larceny incidents at Walmart accounted for a substantial share of arrests; Pliviak explained that NIBRS reporting rules can classify repeat entries after trespass notices as burglaries. He told the board, “I don’t want you to get alarmed. We don’t have five houses that have been burglarized,” and clarified that the burglary entries in the report reflected retail trespass and repeat shoplifting incidents rather than residential break‑ins.
Board members discussed the 85th‑percentile speed statistic and emphasized the board’s authority to set local speed limits; aldermen noted the narrow, park‑adjacent nature of Water Street and requested continued enforcement as school resumes. Councilmembers also credited extra patrols for dispersing recent pop‑up car‑show gatherings and said officers would monitor planned events.
What was not changed: No change in posted speed limits was proposed during the meeting. The department indicated it will continue targeted radar enforcement and staffing adjustments to address the localized speed and crowding concerns.

The measures — passed by roll call after planning-and-zoning recommended approval — change district definitions in the residential and Old Town areas and reclassify multiple privately held parcels to OT‑1 (Old Town 1) and certain city-owned parcels on Ops Lane to PR (Parks and Recreation). Alderman Harrell moved the zoning‑code amendment (bill 25‑55); Alderman Wissbrock seconded the motion, and the board approved it. The second reading made bill 25‑55 into ordinance 45‑76.
Why it matters: rezoning alters permitted uses and development standards in the Old Town planning area, which can affect future development, land use review, and property owners’ expectations. Planning and Zoning Commission members recommended approval and the board voted on the ordinances under the city’s new-bill process.
Board action and scope: Second readings and votes made the following ordinances into law: ordinance 45‑76 (comprehensive-plan zoning amendments); ordinance 45‑77 (rezoning certain Old Town parcels to OT‑1); and ordinance 45‑78 (rezoning city‑owned properties on Ops Lane to PR). Roll-call votes were recorded for each ordinance and each motion carried.
Details on parcels: The rezoning to OT‑1 covered multiple addresses in the Old Town planning area, including parcels listed in the public hearing notice as 2, 10, 12, 18, 836, 42, 44, 62 and 64 Gravely Road; 220, 246 and 388 South Old Highway 141; and 64 Ops Lane (as read into the record). The rezoning of city‑owned land on Ops Lane listed addresses 80, 92 and 98 Ops Lane.
Record and process: Planning and Zoning Commission announcements and a public hearing were held earlier in the meeting; the commission issued positive recommendations on the cases that the board then considered. The transcript shows no additional substantive changes recommended after the commission’s hearing. The board used the waiver-of-rules process to advance second readings on the night of Aug. 28.
What was not decided: The ordinances change zoning classifications; they do not, in themselves, approve specific site plans, building permits or private development projects. Those actions would follow separate permitting or conditional-use processes if proposed.
