August, 2026 City of St. Robert, MO City Council

The regular City of St. Robert, Missouri, City Council meeting was held August 12, 2026 (the metadata lists August 13). The council approved the consent agenda, including payment of bills totaling $1,332,295.84. Procurement approvals included the city’s insurance proposal from Acres, Arie & Business Advisors, described as a slight increase over the prior year, and a 2026 Dodge Durango purchase for the Police Department from Edmor Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram. The vehicle price is garbled in the transcript (reported as “$49,68”), so the exact amount is unclear. The council also approved a copier/printer lease and maintenance agreement with Sumar One for $852.56 per month, plus per-page charges of $0.00820 for black-and-white copies and $0.069 for color copies. These items received the required readings and affirmative votes.

The council authorized an application to the U.S. Department of Defense Community Infrastructure Program for funding related to replacing a 250,000-gallon water tower with a 1-million-gallon tower; engineering costs require a local match, so the project is not fully grant-funded. It also approved a lease-purchase agreement with Security Bank of Pulaski County for a 2027 Ford F-550 4x4 dump truck with equipment for Public Works. The transcript cites a 4.85% annual rate and payments of $96,316.95, but the stated payment schedule and total of $179,463 are inconsistent. Other approved actions included a temporary easement for the Pulaski County Sewer District’s sanitary sewer project and a liquor-license change for Discount Smoke Shop from package sales to retail sales by the drink. No vendor award was identified for the water-tower grant application.
