Council Action (3-9-26)

The City of Florissant council meeting on March 9, 2026, included a presentation on a 0.48¢ levy referendum aimed at supporting the Ferguson Florissant School District, emphasizing benefits for students, security, and staff. The council held public hearings on various business requests, including Avis's proposal to rent trucks and cars, Venue 347 LLC's plan to operate a banquet center, and Dr. Elohim's request to open a holistic clinic with therapy and training rooms. The council approved several ordinances, including granting SPIRE a franchise to operate a natural gas distribution system within the city and committing approximately $6 million of excess general fund reserves for community building and parking lot projects. Additionally, a special use permit transfer for Gary's Automotive was approved due to the owner's retirement, and first readings were held for other business transitions, such as McAllister's Deli becoming a Central Trust Bank. Upcoming community events like the Saint Patrick's Day parade and electronics recycling and document shredding events were also announced.
