Tuesday’s Board of Aldermen meeting picked up right where Friday’s session left off with Ward 1 Alderwoman Anne Schweitzer’s substitution language for the Transform STL Act that would allocate $40 million to the city’s water division, leaving the rest to be appropriated later.
“Previously on the St. Louis Board of Aldermen,” Schweitzer joked as the meeting resumed.
After a little more than two hours of discussion, the members did not agree to perfect any bill spending the Rams settlement money, instead moving proposals from Ward 7 Alisha Sonnier and Ward 13 Pamela Boyd to the board’s informal calendar.
The move means the board will likely break for the spring election season without having agreed on any resolution to spend the money and will reconvene in April to continue the debate on how to spend the Rams settlement money. During that time, it will stay in an interest-bearing account and continue to grow.
