Whitney told the committee that in August the city received 201 new building-permit submissions and conducted 1,038 inspections. Code enforcement opened 15 new cases and 30 inspections; because the city currently lacks a filled code-officer position, inspection duties were reassigned to ward-based inspectors. \"Since we have the open code enforcement position, we have reassigned all of the inspectors by ward,\" Whitney said, adding that senior inspectors will handle most commercial inspections.
Staff said they plan to request reclassifying the vacant code-enforcement position to a planner role in the 2026 budget to support adoption of residential design guidelines and to provide front-counter zoning guidance. Whitney said Planning & Zoning recommended approval of a comprehensive sign plan for Good Clean Dog at 1234 Hanley Industrial Court and a text amendment clarifying solar-panel language; those items will be scheduled for public hearings on Oct. 6. She also reminded the committee of a public hearing and first review of the 2024 ICC codes set for Sept. 15 and said an Architectural Review Board meeting was rescheduled due to lack of quorum.
Committee members asked whether commercial design guidelines will follow residential guidelines; Whitney said staff are coordinating with Tim (presumably a planning colleague) and will schedule a public workshop when preliminary drawings are ready. No formal committee action was taken on these items; staff will return with the proposed reclassification as part of the 2026 budget process and with materials for the upcoming hearings.

Dan said a McKnight Road crosswalk pilot — similar to an existing crosswalk at the YMCA but with additional features — will be brought to the Board for approval. He also said the Ameren Renewable Solutions Program binding agreement, due Sept. 18, will not be executed now but that the utility acknowledged the city letter and said it may propose other ideas in the future.
At 288 Hanley Industrial Court, staff reported a new tenant that uses high-pressure water cutting equipment moved in; staff have addressed electrical and plumbing issues and said a small section of roof damaged in May will be repaired. Dan also described a possible vehicle charger to support Brentwood School District buses: the district is exploring bus charging and, because of limited space at their site, may use city property for charger installation; Public Works will assess charger size and siting.
Dan said the city is working with the city attorney on temporary construction easements and permanent easement rights to straighten a retaining wall at 2832 (two property owners involved), that stormwater bid package 1 will be adjusted from a lump sum to itemized bid tabs to accommodate potential quantity changes, and that staff will issue an RFQ for traffic engineering services after using the same firm for more than a decade.
Additional minor items included reassembly of decorative lighting on Strassner Drive once replacement parts arrive and awaiting quotes for a leaning streetlight and a weather-tight cabinet replacement on Manchester Road.
No formal committee actions were taken; staff said they will return with agreements, RFQ results and construction easements as those items advance.

Eric said Brentwood High School requested five free wristbands to use as halftime contest prizes during homecoming, and St. Mary Magdalene asked whether their non-resident students could buy wristbands to attend with their classmates. \"They are asking if their non residents who attend the school could purchase wristbands so that they could attend Brentwood Days with their classmates who are Brentwood residents,\" Eric said. Staff recommended approving both requests.

Eric, speaking for Parks and Recreation, told the committee that Saturdays in the Park currently draw \"about 700 to a thousand people every Saturday,\" while summer concerts have been subject to weather and competing events in St. Louis. He said staff were considering changing timing (Thursday evenings, midday weekend slots or spring months), pairing children's activities with concerts and exploring focused musical themes to improve turnout.
\"One of the things that our Cheryl, our special events person thought of was, what if we kinda combine them and looked at something like maybe...pack the park,\" Eric said. He explained combining activities would \"give kids something a little bit more to do for the parents to then sit down and listen to the band.\" He also raised the possibility of moving some events to earlier in the day to reduce neighbor complaints about evening noise.
Committee members provided informal feedback: one alderman said the concerts \"might draw a slightly different crowd\" and suggested targeting a music genre for marketing; another noted food trucks can be \"notoriously unreliable\" and that Friday or Saturday evenings compete with venues that already attract built-in crowds. \"Our hope is that the people who've come to Saturday's in the Park have been very happy. They've gotten a lot of business,\" Eric said when discussing whether food trucks would attend.
No formal action was taken; staff were asked to research the idea further, refine potential schedules and return with more detailed proposals and data for committee review and future budgeting consideration for 2026 events.

Committee members and Parks staff said the work would channel surface runoff away from the new play area, protect the poured-in-place surface from mulch displacement and reduce lingering maintenance issues after rain events. Parks staff also said they plan to plant larger landscaping in the fall to guide pedestrian movement and reduce damage to plantings.
Committee members said the work is timely because the playground has been monitored for roughly a year and staff have observed channels forming near the hill slide and mulch washing onto play surfaces. \"There's water runoff on the hill slide, and it's kinda cutting a channel right next to it,\" Parks staff member Eric said, recommending a \"concrete runnel\" into a drain. He added that designers and the on-call contractor provided proposals and pricing.
Parks staff said the repairs would be paid from funds saved from a parking-lot project. \"We've basically with this, we'll have spent about $160,000 of that $400,000. So there's still money left that's including this $40,000,\" Eric said. He told the committee staff will handle fall plantings themselves if the planting costs rise.
The committee asked for drawings before the Board of Aldermen considers the project. \"Could you provide drawings of when you say, concrete, like, what the con... where that exactly goes with, like, diagrams or pictures?\" one alderman requested. Eric confirmed SWT provided drawings and said he would walk the board through them when the item is presented to the Board of Aldermen.
A motion to proceed with Castle Contracting was made and seconded; the committee approved the work by voice vote. Committee members recorded no roll-call tally in the meeting record.
Staff will bring the design drawings and the contract recommendation to the Board of Aldermen for final authorization and to confirm funding details.
