# Board of Aldermen   October 2, 2026

The October 2, 2026, meeting of the City of St. Louis Board of Aldermen included several funding and infrastructure matters. Board Bill 86 received its first reading and was referred to committee; it would authorize the city’s 2027 HUD Annual Action Plan, receipt of Community Development Block Grant funds, and related contracts. Board Bill 87, also introduced, would revise how ward allocations from the capital improvement sales tax are determined and provide for biennial reallocation of certain excess ward-account funds. The board adopted the perfection consent calendar, which included a committee substitute for Board Bill 51 authorizing up to $500 million in airport revenue bonds for airport improvements and refinancing subordinate debt; this advanced the bill but was not final passage. The calendar also included Board Bill 69 on speed humps. Resolution 145, approving the Gardenside Subdivision District budget, was adopted.

The board perfected Board Bill 75, as amended, by a vote of 12 in favor with two members recorded as present, and referred it for engrossment. The bill establishes a citywide traffic-calming request and review process, including public tracking and reporting; its sponsor said it does not change funding mechanisms or remove alderpersons’ role in funding decisions. The discussion focused on balancing technical review, resident input, equity, and neighborhood concerns. No final contract awards or vendor selections were identified in the transcript.
