The money from this sale would go to pay what the city owes in connection with the Police Retirement System, the Firemen’s Retirement System, and the City of St. Louis Employees’ Retirement System.

Board Bill 137, Alderman Freeman M. Bosley's parking expenses payment bill, passed 22 to 2, despite vocal opposition during discussion from Alderman Alfred Wessels.

Board Bill 162, Alderman Samuel L. Moore's quit claim bill for 3025-27 Marnice Place, passed with 23 aye votes and 1 present. As this was Moore's first bill, however, his fellow legislators couldn't resist a traditional bit of good-natured hazing.

When the bill first came up for a vote, a roll call appeal was made and the vote came in with 22 against and only 2 in favor. After a bit of laughter, a motion to reconsider was made, resulting in its passage.

Board Bill 167, Alderwoman Phyllis Young's bill for the improvement of the two block "Gateway Mall," passed unanimously.

Board Bill 170, Alderman Terry Kennedy's bill prohibiting the issuance of any new liquor licenses within the Eighteenth Ward, passed 25-0.

These bills were given their first reading:

Board Bill 178, sponsored by Alderwoman April Ford-Griffin, would authorize and direct the Mayor and Comptroller to execute a Quit Deed claim onto A and F Realty LLC upon receipt of $25,000 payment.

Board Bill 180, sponsored by Alderman Joseph Roddy, would approve a redevelopment plan for the 4158 West Pine Blvd. Area in the case that the area is found to be blighted - as defined in Section 99.320 of the Revised Statutes of Missouri, 2000

Board Bill 181, sponsored by Alderwoman Lyda Krewson, would authorize a payment of $425,000 to purchase additional park land in City Block 3899.
