FLORISSANT CITY COUNCIL:
Honors Tim Lee For His 15 Years of Service;
Harris and 4 Incumbents Sworn-in
By Carol Arnett
The Florissant City Council said goodbye to a long-time member and swore in his replacement at the meeting last week. Councilman Tim Lee decided not to run for re-election. Andrew Harris won the seat and was sworn in. Four other council members also ran for re-election, all unopposed. They are Joseph Eagan, Keith Schildroth, Jackie Pagano and Tommy Siam. They were also sworn-in to office.
“I just want to say that it’s been an honor and privilege to serve the residents of Florissant for these past 15 years,” Lee said. He said he wanted to thank the residents for letting him represent them. The council passed a resolution honoring Lee for his years of service
The council also held a public hearing at the meeting about a request for a special use permit by Erika Sharp. She would like to open Feel Sharp Massage Therapy in a HB – Historic Business District at 525 rue St. Francois.
Sharp would be the only massage therapist working. She would be open Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Councilman Gerard Henke asked if the business would be appointment only. Sharp said that it would be.
No one spoke in opposition to the building, and the council had a first reading on the bill that would allow the business.
Aspen Dental, Mod Pizza Approved
In other matters, the council:
- Passed a bill authorizing the transfer of a special use permit from 5 Aces BBQ to Hwy 67 BBQ for the operation of a restaurant at 1752-1754 N. New Florissant Road.
- Approved a full liquor by the drink license for Privilege Lounge at 129 Flower Valley Shopping Center.
- Approved a full liquor by the drink license for Hwy 67 BBQ at 1752-1754 N. New Florissant Road.
- Held a first reading for a bill that would rezone property at 3125 N. Highway 67 to allow an Aspen Dental and Mod Pizza at the site. The council held a public hearing about the site previously.
- Passed a bill providing for a boundary adjustment between St. Louis County and the City of Florissant. The Florissant Valley Fire Protection District owns a tract of land at 1906 Shackelford. It was in the county, thus the fire district has requested that the boundary be changed so that it is in the City of Florissant.
Special Meetings for Funding
They also held a special meeting last Tuesday concerning a bill appropriating the sum of $524,193 from Public Safety Funds to Acct. 1751 Capital Additions for Justice Center Improvement and $601,411 from Capital Improvements Funds to Acct. No. 0361 Capital Addition for Justice Center Improvements for a total of $1,124,634. Then on Wednesday night, they met in open session to discuss the same thing, but with slightly different amounts from each account, but with the total the same.
