Personnel & Administration Committee October 1, 2026

The City of St. Louis Personnel & Administration Committee met on October 1, 2026, and considered Resolution 125, in committee-substitute form. The resolution concerned remarks by an alderwoman that included a statement about putting a bullet in a colleague’s head. Members and public speaker Precious Jones discussed the impact of violent rhetoric, accountability, and standards of conduct for elected officials. The committee approved a motion to send the substitute resolution out with a due-pass recommendation, by five affirmative votes; it did not take a final board vote on the resolution during this meeting.

Members also discussed the need for more professional discourse and possible revisions to board rules in a future session. An alderman’s account of conditions at the city-owned Homer G. Phillips senior apartment building and legislation concerning a lease and management transfer provided background to the dispute, but no purchasing, contract award, budget allocation, or other procurement action was considered. No procurement activity was identified.
