City Manager Owens thanked everyone for the award nomination and their surprise attendance at the ceremony. City Attorney O’Keefe reported that the presiding judge in the St. Louis County Police Takeover entered an order sustaining our Motion for Summary Judgment and declaring the police takeover/standards ordinance to be “invalid and unenforceable.” The judge agreed with the City’s argument that the County does not have authority to usurp municipal police powers as they attempted to do.
