Rotary Club Loses Bid to Manage

The Florissant License Office

The Rotary Club of Florissant has recently lost the bid to manage the driver’s license and vehicle registration office located in Florissant. Rotary Club has managed the license office since 1994.

The state has awarded the Florissant license contract to a for-profit company from St. Charles County, which will continue to operate the Florissant license office at the location

A major effort by local business, legislatures, county leaders, local school districts, both the cities of Hazelwood and Florissant, and North County Inc. has been underway for the past two years to try to persuade the state to reverse its decision for the management change.

All of the proceeds generated through this office in registration fees have benefited surrounding communities. Rotary Club has donated more than $2.3 million to local charities, and has provided scholarships to students in neighboring school districts.

Rick Dorsey, president of the Rotary Club of Florissant is calling on residents to support the Florissant License Office as often as they can, before the business is turned over to new management.

“We want to encourage as many residents and surrounding businesses as possible to please support our office before Sept. 30., by getting your state ID, and driver’s license plates renewals early,” explains Dorsey. “After this date the revenues collected in service fees will no longer be recycled back into the community, but will now go into the pocket of a business.”

License renewal and identification services must be completed by Sept. 30, before the office undergoes new management. For more information, contact the Rotary Club of Florissant at 314-921-2917.
