Budget and Public Employees Committee - June 3, 2026

The City of St. Louis Budget and Public Employees Committee convened on June 3, 2026, to review and approve several pay bills and budget-related ordinances. Key procurement-related discussions included approval of pay bills for various city departments such as the Sheriff's Office, Board of Elections, Medical Examiner's Office, and the Treasurer's Office, each reflecting a 3% salary increase aligned with the upcoming fiscal year 2027 budget. The committee also reviewed a budget ordinance for the Treasurer's Office totaling over $21 million, including nearly $1.5 million allocated for capital improvements. An amendment was adopted to modify language regarding salary increases for the Office of Financial Empowerment within the Treasurer's Office, allowing flexibility based on enterprise fund revenues. All bills discussed received favorable do pass recommendations, and no public testimony or written comments were recorded. The meeting concluded with acknowledgments of committee members' efforts and plans to address additional budget items in a subsequent meeting.
