Committee holds Board Bill 1 pending police/fire raises; approves prior meeting minutes

The St. Louis City Budget and Public Employees Committee opened its June 11 meeting by calling the roll, establishing a quorum and approving the minutes from its May 27 and June 3, 2026 meetings.

A motion to approve the minutes was moved and seconded; the clerk recorded four "I" votes and the minutes were approved. The chair then noted that Board Bill 1, although amended by the committee, is being held because questions remain about potential raises for the police board and parity for the fire department. The chair said ENA has adopted the committee's amendments but is holding the bill until the raises are worked out.

Committee members were asked to be available for a brief meeting next week if necessary to revisit Board Bill 1. There were no resolutions, no written testimony acknowledged and no public comment recorded during the meeting. The committee adjourned without objection.
