The floor substitute was adopted by voice vote (Alderwoman Schweitzer voting no), followed by perfection of the floor substitute by voice vote. - Board Bill 33 – Sheriff Powers and Duties (as amended in committee): Sponsored by Alderman Devoty, this bill sought to clarify sheriff duties and establish financial reporting requirements. Debate focused on whether state law (RSMo § 57.290) mandates prisoner transport and whether the board has authority to impose reporting.

A proposed amendment by Alderwoman Keys to remove a 12-month sunset on reporting was discussed but not formally offered. The bill was perfected by a roll call vote of 13-1, with Alderwoman Tyus voting no. - Resolution 92 – Urging Ameren Missouri to Pause Disconnections for Tornado-Impacted Residents: Alderwoman Sanye presented the resolution, noting that Ameren had resumed disconnections despite the May 2025 tornado.

The St. Louis City Excise Commission held a hearing on September 11, 2025, at 9:07 AM to consider two liquor license applications under Board Bill 60. The first application, for baked and Boiled LLC, was approved without opposition. The second application, for 282 LLC doing business as Firehouse 282, involved a protest where neither the applicant nor the protester secured the required majority of signatures, leading to denial of the application. Discussion Items - License Application for Baked and Boiled LLC (1801 South 9th Street): The applicant, represented by Miss Virginia Kill Gallon and managing officer Miss Alexandria Piper, sought a full drink license, Sunday drink license, and sidewalk cafe license. Excise Agent Donna Wisdom presented the file. The commissioner introduced St. Louis City Ordinance 71819 and the excise division's file without objection. Noting that the application qualified as a restaurant under Board Bill 60 and posed no detriment to the neighborhood, the commissioner approved the application. - License Application for 282 LLC (Firehouse 282, 1315 North Banner Street): The application was originally filed under Board Bill 60, but a protest was submitted by neighborhood representative Mr. Down in the Boone. Under the ordinance, both the applicant and protester must obtain majority signatures from qualified property owners and tenants/occupants within a petition circle. For the applicant: among 13 property owners (majority 8), 4 signatures were secured; among 32 tenants/occupants (majority 17), 6 signatures were obtained (falling short). For the protester: among 13 property owners, 4 signatures were secured; among 32 tenants/occupants, 17 signatures were obtained (also not a majority because the applicant failed). The commissioner stated that since neither party met the burden, the burden falls on the applicant. He offered the applicant the option to withdraw and refile later, but the applicant declined, preferring to go to court. Consequently, the commissioner denied the application, noting the applicant may refile after two months. Key Outcomes - Baked and Boiled LLC: Liquor license application approved. - 282 LLC (Firehouse 282): Liquor license application denied due to failure to meet signature requirements. The applicant may refile after two months.

Discussion Items - Presentation by Miriam Keller (City Planning), Evan Winkler (Zoning), and Mary Hartburton (Building Division) on ADU regulations.

She noted that many ADUs already exist in her ward. - Alderman McKee: Asked about mail delivery for ADUs and access to yards. Staff responded that addressing is handled through the zoning office and that yard access is a landlord-tenant matter. - Alderman Browning: Expressed support, noting that ADUs already exist and the bill helps build missing middle housing. - Alderman Aldrich: Made a motion to advance the bill (seconded and passed). - Alderman Cohn (second round): Continued inquiry about separate utilities for ADUs. - The committee discussed the iterative nature of ADU regulation and the upcoming zoning update.
