Soulard was Russell (except St. Joseph’s block, which had previously been Ursuline Convent) to Brewery, 7th to Riverfront (now Kosciusko industrial tract), and Soulard Market to Chouteau.

City Eco Devo Consultant Selection Meetings Lacked 24 Hours Notice

This is going about as well as the Airport Privatization Consultant Selection process.

At 11:57 am Today/Monday, the City posted an online Notice/Agenda for a 3:30 pm Today Meeting for the Selection Committee for RFQ (Request For Quotation/bid) for Consultant for City of St. Louis Economic Development Strategy.

That’s a 3 hour, 27 Minute Online Notice for a meeting. State Law requires 24 hours public notice. By Mayor Krewson’s Executive Order, these notices must be posted Online to City website at least 24 hours in advance.

At 12:07 pm Today, the City posted an online Notice/Agenda for a 9 am Tuesday/Tomorrow Meeting of the same Selection Committee. That’s a 21 hours, 7 minutes notice, not the required 24 hours.

The meeting will be held at SLDC Conference Room B, 2nd Floor, 1520 Market, City Hall West.
