Louie DeMun, and the adoption of a subdivision plat (Centene Plat II) as Ordinance No. 6494. The minutes also include a first reading and public hearing on the 2017 property tax levies for the FY2018 budget with detailed levy rates per $100 assessed valuation by property category (residential, commercial, personal) and total rates (e.g., 2017 residential total rate 0.825 per $100), and the first reading of the FY2018 Operating and Capital Improvement Budget (Bill No. 6628).
Cited passage

The plat is in conjunction with the Centene Clayton Campus Development Sub-district 2 (a, b & c). The Plan Commission considered this plat at their meeting of July 17, 2017 and recommended approval. Following the meeting, the applicant made minor adjustments fromthe plat that was presented to the Plan Commission, and the matter now comes before you with those minor adjustments included. They are as follows: The eastern property line of proposed Lot 1 is now 201.19’ long, whereas it was 201.56. Lot 1 is now 48,700 square feet versus 48,791 square feet (a reduction of 91 square feet)

Lot 2 is now 58,256 square feet versus 58,165 square feet (an increase of 91 square feet)

The intent remains the same, and the square footages and acreage change is very minimal. These changes have been reviewed by the City Attorney who has determined that they are de minimus and should not require reconsideration by the Plan Commission. Recommendation is to approve the ordinance. Alderman Winings recused himself from the meeting at 7:04 p.m. Mayor Sanger closed the public hearing. Alderman Boulton introduced Bill No. 6626, an ordinance to consider approving a subdivision plat for 7528, 7634, 7520, 7518, & 7510 Forsyth Boulevard; 10 South Lyle Avenue; 101 & 105 Carondelet Plaza to be read for the first time by title only. Alderman Berger seconded.

Our fellow Americans who fought ways to preserve our liberty did so to eliminate the fascism and hate that these groups embrace, and we denounce them and their purpose.”

City Manager Owens reported that Box Hill Group, LLC d.b.a. Louie Demun is requesting a liquor license to sell all kinds of intoxicating liquor at retail by the drink, including Sundays, at 706 Demun Ave., Suite B. The Police Department has completed its review of the application and supports the issuance of the requested license. The Planning and Development department has also approved the application with no objections. The applicant has chosen not to submit a petition from surrounding property owners and first floor tenants. As a result, they are aware that this application must have a super majority vote of five Board members to be approved. Staff has requested that a representative attend the meeting.

Mayor Sanger opened the public hearing and requested proof of publication. City Manager Owens reported that as part of the property tax levy process, the Board will hold a public hearing to seek public input on the proposed tax rates. Thus the City’s maximum levies this year are projected to generate the amount of revenue from the previous year, plus CPI and revenue related to a small amount of new construction, plus the amount available for recoupment. The recoupment process appears to have less of an effect on rates this year than last year. The levies as presented are subject to change by the Board of Equalization and through the Missouri State Auditor’s certification process, therefore there is the potential for the rates to still change slightly. If this occurs, staff will inform you of our options at that time. The General Fund tax levy, which may be used for any general purpose, is projected to generate nearly $6.2 million, or approximately $50,000 less than last year. The City also has a levy to support the debt service of the police building.
