Short Agenda For City Council;
Time to Think About Veteran of the year
By Carol Arnett
The Florissant City Council met Monday with a short agenda. There were no public hearings, but the council did pass some bills and hold first readings on other bills.
Walter Kaiser spoke to the council about the Veteran of the Year. “It’s not too early to think about nominating a Veteran of the Year,” he said. The veteran will be honored in November on Veterans’ Day.
There are three requirements for the honor. The individual must be a Florissant resident, they must be involved in the community, and they must be a veteran. There is no form, Kaiser said. Residents can just write a short note about why they think the individual is worthy of the award. They should not tell the veteran that he or she has been nominated.
Nominations are due by Sept. 4 and can be dropped off at the Florissant Police Department or the VFW Post on rue St. Francois. They should be put in a sealed envelope marked Walter Kaiser of WK and dropped off at either location.
The council passed four bills.
The first bill passed approves the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) for the fiscal year 2021-2022 and the fiscal year 2021 annual Action Plan.
The second bill passed approves the rezoning of 130 Howdershell to allow for the location of a utility substation.
The third bill approves the changed in the recorded development plan to allow for exterior changes and signage at 3500 Patterson Road.
The fourth bill authorized the mayor to enter into a program agreement for the federal funding for the improvement of rue St. Denis street phase II.

• Held a first reading on a bill that would re-adopt a procedure to disclose potential conflict of • interest for certain officials.
