Board of Aldermen - October 23, 2026

The City of St. Louis Board of Aldermen met on October 23, 2026. The board gave first reading to Board Bill 104, which would authorize the mayor and comptroller to enter agreements with HUD for 2027 Community Development Block Grant, disaster-recovery, HOME Investment Partnerships, and Emergency Solutions Grant funds, and to spend funds as received. Board Bills 104 and 105 were referred to the Housing, Urban Development and Zoning Committee. Board Bill 105 would place a proposed data-center business license and fee before voters in April 2027. No vendor selections, competitive bids, or contract awards were identified.

The board adopted its perfection consent calendar and referred redevelopment-plan bills 47 and 57, along with amended speed-hump bill 82, to the Legislation and Rules Committee for engrossment; these were not final passage votes. Bill 94 was reported from committee with a do-pass recommendation. The meeting also recognized Planning and Urban Design Agency Executive Director Don Row’s retirement after decades of service. The transcript indicates no specific procurement spending decision or vendor opportunity beyond the proposed federal grant agreements and redevelopment actions.
