The action was taken by unanimous roll-call vote and is recorded as ordinance 4711.

Why it matters: The site development plan governs the layout and approved improvements for a major retail center in the city and includes new amenities such as electric-vehicle (EV) charging stations. During review, aldermen asked how payment for charging would be handled and whether the city would benefit financially.

During discussion Alderman Harder asked several operational questions about the charging stations, including whether customer card payments go to the utility or to the site operator. A staff or project representative described the typical commercial arrangement: the charging operator charges users by the kilowatt-hour, bills the user’s card and remits payments to the utility for electricity. The representative said operators commonly place an authorization hold (for example, about $50) on a card when beginning a charge. City staff said they were not aware of the development producing meaningful ongoing revenue for the city beyond any local gross receipts arrangements; no specific revenue-sharing agreement was presented at the meeting.

The board approved the plan after the brief discussion. Several aldermen commented that EV charging infrastructure is costly but represents a convenience and amenity for shoppers and residents.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Town and Country Board of Aldermen Meeting 09/08/2025","oneSentenceSummary","The board approved the fifth amended final site development plan for Town and Country Crossing (1000 Town And Country Crossing Drive) and certified the plan as ordinance 4711; during discussion aldermen questioned how EV charging stations would be billed and whether the city would realize revenue.","taxTitle","Town and Country, St. Louis County, Missouri","taxId",72587,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6024843,"Board approves open-space modification and boundary-adjustment plats for Van Dyver Place and DuPont Lane",117,1133000,1250000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5758628-0bdb8964b3021790a3613ec2d7b29bf2&start=1133&end=1250","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5758628-0bdb8964b3021790a3613ec2d7b29bf2/thumbnail_1133000.jpg","/articles/6024843/Town-and-Country/St-Louis-County/Missouri/Board-approves-open-space-modification-and-boundary-adjustment-plats-for-Van-Dyver-Place-and-DuPont-Lane","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6024843-af3e598c94af2d47dc85362028390144/orig.mp4?Expires=1771065303&Signature=MI5TycXUCmGXTjUPlEnsrLbT-dH-RsROeVzKqwUu7yYDPC~4lozLBkI9Lans2ohMQfBB~981gCOKHMQoIDoLd4as-6vANvo25c9zw7LHN2ynd2xGZ7degV~BSKPfVOeSGylvkQHPE2GRaLUhOwsskxqteSgEbsbYURV-0GtXEW3PCRWSTGn1rtae-6e2lsvvzNiDrllFUOsiG8wsdFWPRL6na8rozrvOuQj0lay776k67fTxqJoryTmx50NuP1IEnhDz4Lei2Xb1Tm58e0Jn9ZZujT~7toO22P4ze5bjWcx93rzpoNfFNpK~yZsdmYHBHCxv~JvPlV95pqkhYRtZKQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Town and Country — The Board of Aldermen on Sept. 8 approved two land-division actions: an ordinance authorizing permanent open-space modifications and amending plats 2 and 3 of Van Dyver Place subdivision, and an ordinance authorizing a boundary adjustment plat for Lots 8A and 8B of DuPont Lane.

Why it matters: Both measures alter recorded plats and authorize the recorder of deeds to accept revised instrument filings, which affect property lines and protected natural-resource limits within the subdivisions.

Bill number 25-38, concerning Van Dyver Place, passed on second reading and was recorded as ordinance 4709. During discussion, an alderman thanked a resident, identified in the record as Mr. Carpel, for a detailed document review that aided the process. Bill number 25-39, approving the DuPont Lane boundary adjustment plat, passed unanimously and became ordinance 4710.

Both actions were approved by roll-call vote without recorded amendments. The city clerk will forward the authorized plats for recording in the Saint Louis County Recorder of Deeds office as specified in the ordinances.","The board approved ordinances authorizing a permanent open space modification and plat amendments for Van Dyver Place and a boundary adjustment plat for Lots 8A and 8B of DuPont Lane; votes were unanimous and the bills became ordinances 4709 and 4710.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6024848,"Town and Country adopts amendments to building-code official duties and adopts county electrical and plumbing codes",73,1017000,1090000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5758628-0bdb8964b3021790a3613ec2d7b29bf2&start=1017&end=1090","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5758628-0bdb8964b3021790a3613ec2d7b29bf2/thumbnail_1017000.jpg","/articles/6024848/Town-and-Country/St-Louis-County/Missouri/Town-and-Country-adopts-amendments-to-building-code-official-duties-and-adopts-county-electrical-and-plumbing-codes","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6024848-ec418a987be2ff40ec7f6887628db0b8/orig.mp4?Expires=1771065303&Signature=N1~prHOb84GphZNAOU9pfc4Xh45kv3-DeVAiHSqgcebWfb4MlzPkDgoKkuk2RV9K-BELyp9pKGksfuriegajMvbABjMiOW15c6S6yQ6-Ir6wzlac5CjMIqymPatLxunc0l54ovmMuTNOq2BhtOGHEzQgNGrBnfopy7ScYXyg3JXxyf~1BKsD8XijyChgg8GySx6CKaXNBsfwPuB4pEZEnsXaQAsfuT~kua3451QoXbntwh8Erc4Egu~Li-N4Acc2HDXRmtgD~e4hOM-Bxw8PQ-gVrnuNeCxilk5kRqHK-nJvwPJoWHJYZCFbTiZr2ORKcGTGL4p8mDxTm50K9gCftw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Town and Country — The Board of Aldermen unanimously approved two ordinances Sept. 8 that amend the municipal building-code provisions and incorporate St. Louis County electrical and plumbing codes.

The board passed bill number 25-36, which amends Title 5, Chapter 500 of the municipal code by revising section 500.07 concerning the city’s code official. The board also passed bill number 25-37, which amends sections 500.05 and 500.06 to adopt St. Louis County electrical and plumbing codes by reference. Both measures passed on roll-call votes and were recorded as ordinances 4707 and 4708.

Why it matters: The amendments clarify the city’s code-official authority and bring the city’s electrical and plumbing standards into alignment with county-adopted codes by formal reference. Board members gave no extended debate on the measures and supported approval by unanimous vote.","At its Sept. 8 meeting the Board of Aldermen unanimously adopted ordinances amending Title 5, Chapter 500 (code official duties) and adopting St. Louis County electrical and plumbing codes into the municipal code.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6024853,"Town and Country continues public hearing on proposed 2025 property tax rates; CFO outlines reassessment impacts",353,187000,540000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5758628-0bdb8964b3021790a3613ec2d7b29bf2&start=187&end=540","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5758628-0bdb8964b3021790a3613ec2d7b29bf2/thumbnail_187000.jpg","/articles/6024853/Town-and-Country/St-Louis-County/Missouri/Town-and-Country-continues-public-hearing-on-proposed-2025-property-tax-rates-CFO-outlines-reassessment-impacts","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6024853-c80904f9904eb15df0279e94f156a0a7/orig.mp4?Expires=1771065303&Signature=Q3GqSpYRx-UOxtRUoMnIpnvdN6rXHZ~LhrLmn3TpZ4c4WpMoU~fTSmv~hSmJ02MxwCeBRWHNCaDLmg3dAW2ZkOT2~5y~01TDyuumuYbHvHrv35GjRz4coWeN60M~aXfoNmsLLq8dc2KZm~0-q5b6OFubgARTAnRFnF0v0oNX62blvDXaGpakkV5gc~mwkQrGhFe~QeISLUrnmwg7x1hG6rQJscI4wp04-lfzw~ofoTs7fmjVoOTrF1cvQ31C~6C9ZOXKJgSs-dLWppin55OD~ITF6VUuBhQLM8DEGgsO5rYTrW56pQgu45jOYECuki7xS-Vnz25EZnHG6S2FNrhpdA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Town and Country — The Board of Aldermen on Sept. 8 opened a public hearing on the city’s proposed 2025 property tax rates and continued formal consideration to the board’s Sept. 22 meeting to allow St. Louis County final equalization numbers to be incorporated. Joan Jadawi, the city’s chief financial officer, told the board that because this is a reassessment year the city cannot simply keep last year’s levy number but must limit any increase in tax collections to the consumer price index figure of 2.9 percent plus any revenue from new construction.

Why it matters: The reassessment materially changed assessed values across property classes, which affects both taxpayer bills and the city’s revenue projections. The board postponed final adoption so county final numbers can be used to ensure compliance with the statutory rollback rules and to allow the city clerk to prepare an amended bill if needed.

At the hearing, Jadawi summarized preliminary assessment shifts and a draft rate schedule. She said residential assessed value rose about 15 percent in the city while personal property assessments fell about 5 percent. “In reassessment years, we’re only allowed to increase the amount that we collect after the calculation is done, by 2.9%,” Jadawi said. She added that the draft rates based on pre–board-equalization numbers are 21 cents per $100 of assessed valuation for residential property, 23 cents for commercial property, 23 cents for personal property and 21.9 cents for agricultural property, and that final rates may change after county equalization.

Jadawi warned the board that the 15 percent increase was only for the residential piece and that combined assessed value change was lower; the overall allowable increase for tax collections remains the 2.9 percent CPI adjustment plus a small new-construction factor. The board did not adopt final rates at the meeting; the ordinance establishing the annual levy (bill number 25-41) was continued to the Sept. 22 meeting for second reading after county figures are finalized.

Separately, the board approved a warrant list for city bills in the amount of $574,303.77 during the meeting.","At the Sept. 8 Board of Aldermen meeting, Chief Financial Officer Joan Jadawi explained how a citywide reassessment constrains any tax-rate increase to 2.9% plus new-construction growth; the board continued the formal levy ordinance to Sept. 22 for final numbers.","actionData","errors"]
