Full Board of Aldermen Convenes for Weekly Session

The St. Louis Board of Aldermen is scheduled to meet today, Friday, February 6, 2026, for its regular Aldermanic General Meeting. The session will begin at 10:00 AM in the Board of Aldermen Chambers at City Hall. This meeting serves as a central point for the city's legislative branch to discuss and advance pending Board Bills and resolutions as the 2025-2026 legislative session continues.

Today’s agenda is expected to include the introduction of new legislation and final votes on measures previously vetted in committee. While public comment is generally not taken during the full board session, the meeting remains open to the public with seating available in the gallery. Residents can also monitor the proceedings via the city's official streaming services. Of particular note is the looming February 13 deadline, which is the proposed final day for the introduction of board bills for the current session.

Economic Development and Infrastructure Reviews

Following the morning’s legislative activity, the St. Louis Development Corporation (SLDC) will hold a rescheduled Program Review Committee (PRC) meeting at 1:30 PM. This committee is responsible for evaluating specific development proposals and ensuring that city-backed projects align with broader economic growth strategies. The meeting is a critical step for developers seeking city incentives or participation in municipal revitalization programs.

Municipal Judiciary Meeting and Public Safety Updates

In addition to legislative and economic sessions, the city’s Municipal Judges are scheduled to hold a regular meeting today at the City Courts building located at 1520 Market Street. These sessions typically focus on administrative updates within the municipal court system and the coordination of judicial services across the city's various courtrooms.

Other significant government activities occurring today include:

  • Code Blue Monitoring: The Mayor’s office continues to monitor emergency shelter capacity following recent severe weather, with the Department of Human Services maintaining a high alert status to ensure unhoused residents have access to warm beds.
  • Tornado Recovery Oversight: Mayor Cara Spencer’s administration remains focused on long-term recovery efforts, with departments reviewing ongoing debris removal and neighborhood stabilization initiatives in affected wards.

The convergence of these meetings highlights a busy start to the month for St. Louis officials as they balance immediate public safety needs with long-term legislative and economic planning.
