Board of Aldermen November 6, 2026

The November 6, 2026 meeting of the City of St. Louis Board of Aldermen included several funding and infrastructure items. Board Bill 109, referred to the Budget and Public Employees Committee, would appropriate $3,417,273 in Proposition S funds to the Mayor’s Office of Recovery for building demolition and repairs. Board Bill 110, referred to the Public Infrastructure and Utilities Committee, would authorize an emergency-relief agreement with the Missouri Highways and Transportation Commission for tornado-damaged infrastructure; the amount to be received was unclear in the transcript. The board also considered an airport capital-improvement program (Board Bill 65), airport lease and rental-agreement amendments, and a bill authorizing agreements with HUD and contracts to administer 2027 CDBG, HOME, ESG, and HOPWA funds. No vendor award or bid approval was identified.

The main funding debate concerned Board Bill 91, a proposed Cold Blue emergency-weather response program. Members discussed directing marijuana sales-tax receipts to the program—potentially up to $5 million—alongside the current budget’s $2 million allocation. An amendment proposing allocations for EMS and other city needs was withdrawn before a vote. The board voted 11–2 to perfect the floor substitute and referred it to the Legislation and Rules Committee; it was not finally passed at this meeting. Other redevelopment measures included tax-abatement changes and a Midtown infrastructure redevelopment bill, which were referred to committee.
