00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:04,760
Any further discussion?

172
00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:07,620
Seeing none, it's been moved by the Alder Woman

173
00:12:07,620 --> 00:12:09,940
from the 10th, seconded by the Alder Woman from the 7th

174
00:12:09,940 --> 00:12:13,340
that we adopt the board bills

175
00:12:13,340 --> 00:12:14,960
for the Perfection Consent Calendar.

176
00:12:15,540 --> 00:12:17,800
All those in favor signify by saying aye.

177
00:12:19,060 --> 00:12:19,500
Opposed?

178
00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:21,460
Motion carries.

179
00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:23,000
Board bills for perfection.

180
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:30,060
Board Bill number 60, introduced by Alderman Cohn and President Green, an ordinance appropriating

181
00:12:30,060 --> 00:12:40,940
the sum of $26,056,000 is described in Section 94.600-94.655, RSMO 2000 is amended for the

182
00:12:40,940 --> 00:12:49,020
period of July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027, which sum is hereby appropriated out of

183
00:12:49,020 --> 00:12:54,100
the Transportation Trust Fund to the Bi-State Development Agency for Transportation Purposes

184
00:12:54,100 --> 00:12:57,440
and containing a Serability and Emergency Clause.

185
00:12:57,980 --> 00:13:01,440
Alderman from the third, you are recognized on the perfection of Board Bill 60.

186
00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:05,940
Thank you Madam President.

187
00:13:06,140 --> 00:13:07,820
I move to perfect Board Bill 60.

188
00:13:08,700 --> 00:13:08,980
Second.

189
00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:12,140
It's been moved by the Alderman from the third, seconded by the Alderman from

190
00:13:12,140 --> 00:13:14,240
the 14th that we perfect Board Bill 60.

191
00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:15,300
Alderman you may proceed.

192
00:13:17,260 --> 00:13:18,240
Thank you Madam President.

193
00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:22,680
Then Board Bill 60 is a companion piece of legislation

194
00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:27,200
to Board Bill's 52 and 53 which we discussed

195
00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:30,680
at our meetings, our past two meetings I believe actually,

196
00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:33,620
which are appropriations over to Metro.

197
00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:38,140
They are not related to the green line,

198
00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:40,560
they're related to their annual appropriations

199
00:13:40,560 --> 00:13:43,780
for operations and would ask

200
00:13:43,780 --> 00:13:45,920
for our colleagues favorable consideration.

201
00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:52,240
any further discussion other women from the 12th and president members of the

202
00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:57,060
board I will continue to vote against all by state appropriations green line or

203
00:13:57,060 --> 00:14:02,860
whatever because this is another one of the long-term lies that was made to

204
00:14:02,860 --> 00:14:07,380
North St. Louis and then we just go on about our business as though it was not

205
00:14:07,380 --> 00:14:12,700
a lie a bold-faced lie about funding Metro link and North St. Louis and

206
00:14:12,700 --> 00:14:20,760
And people take that for granted so much so that during COVID, we have the former mayor

207
00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:25,280
have its event at Forest Park Community College.

208
00:14:25,780 --> 00:14:30,040
And when the people in North St. Louis complained about how far it was, one of her staff members

209
00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:32,360
says, well, just get on Metrolinck and ride over.

210
00:14:32,660 --> 00:14:37,200
And the lady came and said, excuse me, we don't have Metrolinck in North St. Louis.

211
00:14:37,580 --> 00:14:41,620
So things that people take for granted, we don't have.

212
00:14:41,620 --> 00:14:58,500
And in this case it was a lie and on top of that that would have been bad enough. It was a lie that they were going to fund it next, but that by state then and the city spent 70 to $100 million on a failed what should have been a little trolley bus.

213
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:06,680
Total disregard for a whole part of the city that was all in in the beginning of Metro League

214
00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:14,120
actually did more to help Metro League by having to go through long-term hearings about digging up

215
00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:20,940
grades of black people up near the airport and move them, which was very contentious. And all of that

216
00:15:20,940 --> 00:15:26,940
to get here 35 years later and not one track has been laid in North St. Louis and not only that,

217
00:15:26,940 --> 00:15:33,580
but the current by state CEO president trying to in called me to imply that that was never

218
00:15:33,580 --> 00:15:41,760
aligned that was supposed to go from um um um so all the way down to natural bridge all the way

219
00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:47,080
down natural bridge to downtown unfortunately for him since I was there and he wasn't I actually

220
00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:51,980
have all the stuff that we have and many of the people who were on the board at that time

221
00:15:51,980 --> 00:15:56,400
know that that's what we agreed to and South St. Louis had their own line and they were supposed

222
00:15:56,400 --> 00:16:02,520
to meet downtown and for us not to have even a single track is ridiculous so I will be continuing

223
00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:10,440
and protesting against anything that by state is seeking for funds and especially as they now

224
00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:16,200
and members of this board push this big bus theory as though that takes the place

225
00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:22,200
of the Metro link that was promised for North St. Louis you will continue to disregard us if

226
00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:27,540
we don't have any voice that says this is not right. This is not right. And I'm of course requesting

227
00:16:27,540 --> 00:16:32,620
a roll call so that I may vote no in protest. Not because it's going to stop anything because I want

228
00:16:32,620 --> 00:16:37,620
to have that conversation each and every single time that when you lie and you have ongoing lies

229
00:16:37,620 --> 00:16:43,640
for 10, 20, 30 years and you do nothing to make it happen, but you feel comfortable in spending

230
00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:49,480
70 to 100 million dollars on a boondoggle. That means you don't care about one part of

231
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:49,840
the city.

232
00:16:57,900 --> 00:16:58,960
Any further discussion?

233
00:17:01,660 --> 00:17:02,580
Any further discussion?

234
00:17:04,650 --> 00:17:06,890

00:24:04,710 --> 00:24:06,570
Board bill 13 as amended in committee.

338
00:24:06,570 --> 00:24:11,370
40, 41 as amended in committee, and Board Bill 50, floor substitute.

339
00:24:12,610 --> 00:24:15,570
That is the extent of miscellaneous and unfinished business.

340
00:24:16,170 --> 00:24:16,730
Announcements.

341
00:24:19,790 --> 00:24:24,890
Thursday, July 30th, 2026, Health and Human Development, 9 a.m., webinar.

342
00:24:26,950 --> 00:24:28,190
Any further announcements?

343
00:24:29,610 --> 00:24:30,570
Alderman from the fourth.

344
00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:38,400
It's blinking.

345
00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:44,880
There we go.

346
00:24:45,820 --> 00:24:47,820
Thank you, Madam President, members of the Board.

347
00:24:47,820 --> 00:24:51,760
I just wanted to wish President Green a happy birthday tomorrow.

348
00:24:52,660 --> 00:24:53,840
So, yes.

349
00:24:59,960 --> 00:25:01,660
Other women from the 10th.

350
00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:02,760
Thank you, Madam President.

351
00:25:02,940 --> 00:25:07,000
Before I mention my events,

352
00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:09,860
can I please ask for a moment of silence?

353
00:25:10,020 --> 00:25:13,460
I just want to thank my colleagues for allowing me to suspend the rules

354
00:25:13,460 --> 00:25:18,520
to introduce this resolution in honor of Mother Leola Ackerson,

355
00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:24,200
who was an anchor in the West End in the former 26th and now 10th Ward.

356
00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:29,700
In our culture, you know, some mothers just have a special touch about them,

357
00:25:29,740 --> 00:25:33,800
but there's another title that we have in our culture that is very enduring.

358
00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:36,480
Many will know it. She was the candy lady.

359
00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:39,620
And so when you have a candy lady in your community,

360
00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:44,400
you touch an immeasurable amount of families, generations,

361
00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:48,380
people from close that can walk to you or far if they're visiting.

362
00:25:48,940 --> 00:25:53,300
And she was just a soul that will truly be missed in the West.

363
00:25:53,420 --> 00:25:57,680
And I'm praying for her children, children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren,

364
00:25:58,200 --> 00:25:59,080
her church family.

365
00:25:59,660 --> 00:26:05,060
And I would, again, ask for us to just hold a moment of silence for Mama Lottie,

366
00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:07,120
Mother Leola Ackerson.

367
00:26:07,780 --> 00:26:10,260
We could please stand and bow our heads for a moment of silence.

368
00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:16,500
Thank you.

369
00:26:16,500 --> 00:26:21,500
I also want to mention up in the galley in the blue shirt for my colleagues that may have met her yet.

370
00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:27,900
That is KJ. That is our new liaison to the streets department. You see her around. She's very engaging.

371
00:26:28,380 --> 00:26:31,740
She has been very responsive for me in the last couple of weeks.

372
00:26:31,940 --> 00:26:35,600
So if you have the time, I'm on your break to meet with her. Schedule a meeting.

373
00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:38,500
Tell her the needs that you have in the street department because listen,

374
00:26:38,620 --> 00:26:42,280
she's met a few of mine just within less than a week's time.

375
00:26:42,360 --> 00:26:44,540
So thank you for being here, KJ.

376
00:26:45,180 --> 00:26:50,800
And on Monday and the 10th award is our one-on-one meeting that we have at the last Monday of

377
00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:51,220
the month.

378
00:26:52,100 --> 00:26:57,440
I am so excited to welcome my colleague from the fifth Alderman devotee to be our guest

379
00:26:57,440 --> 00:27:01,600
speaker not only to talk about prop in but people want to hear about how we work together

380
00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:06,000
down here and I tell them all the time about even in the differences we are alike in

381
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:10,260
so many ways with our constituencies and with their needs and so opportunities like

382
00:27:10,260 --> 00:27:15,240
this that we create on the last Monday of the month for our neighbors from all eight neighborhoods

383
00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:19,480
in the 10th Ward to come together have been so valuable. Thank you Alderman Devotee looking

00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:26,700

386
00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:36,480
Greg Johnson. And along with Alderman Devotee, we will also have the League of Women Voters

387

390
00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:51,000
you there.

391
00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:54,760
We need further announcements. Alderman from the 14th.

392
00:27:54,900 --> 00:27:57,780
Thank you, Madam President, members of the board. Since we don't have, I think I'm

393
00:27:57,780 --> 00:28:04,040
being scheduled when this event comes up. I would also like to wish on August 1st is

394
00:28:04,040 --> 00:28:08,640
Joe Chief of Staff birthday, so I would like to wish Mr. Bay Nelson a happy, curly birthday.

395
00:28:14,190 --> 00:28:15,850
Got lots of Leos in the office.

396
00:28:18,870 --> 00:28:22,310
Any further announcements? Alderman from the third.

397
00:28:24,820 --> 00:28:33,020
Thank you, Madam President. I would be remissed since the Alderman from the 14th mentioned Japhante's birthday.

398
00:28:33,900 --> 00:28:40,580
He shared her birthday with my partner, Darren, so I'd like to give a shout out and honorable

399
00:28:40,580 --> 00:28:44,640
mention to my partner and his birthday coming up on August 1st as well.

400
00:28:45,100 --> 00:28:45,880
Their birthday cleanse.

401
00:28:50,600 --> 00:28:52,320
Any further announcements?

402
00:28:53,860 --> 00:28:57,600
Seeing none, all the women from the 10th, you're recognized on the motion to excuse.
