These are some of the things that are over and above what we have the fiscal ability to do, but yet have the aspect of some very, very generous residents and businesses in our community. The public-private thing is really, almost unique in the country in the way that it runs here and my thanks to everybody who has done that job as well, it’s been terrific!

04-26-16 BOA Minutes 1st Meeting April 26, 2016 Page 3 of 3 (3) As we just saw about all the events that we’ve had, we have said that what we wanted to do was have fun and these events are great fun! We have just been named the #1 place in the State of Missouri for things to do and I think that’s a great goal that we’ve hit it very well.

We have relied on the voters to pass a bond issue to repave the streets, $15 million bond issue that is ongoing.

We have had dozens of new restaurants and businesses open in addition to being recognized as the place for the most things to do, we were also rated the best community, best suburb, the best for millennials, the best public schools, and it makes us really the epicenter of the St. Louis Region for commerce and all things happening.

In total it all adds up to we are experiencing a renaissance of our community. When the time comes in the future and people look back and see what happened, just as we looked back and we see the people who had the courage to do the Pierre Laclede buildings and the buildings on Maryland Avenue and the start of us as such a downtown area people will look as this era and say wow, there was a lot going on and we did a great job.

Again, I’m very thankful for this group, for the encouragement, the input, and on occasion the criticism, but for the most part this is a great group that any mayor would be very proud to have…..I thank you all for that!”

There being no further regular business the meeting was adjourned Sine Die at 7:15 p.m.
