I would like to have as my honored guest today, all of the 225 residents of the Council Tower senior apartment building. They have been going through quite an ordeal over the past two weeks, and it appears at this time that that that strife has ended and the water is flowing. And we pray that it continues the flow. Additionally, I want to give honor and praise to all of those who came forward to either volunteer help and or to be donate water. At the top of my list is Annalise Stover with the Area Agency on Aging. Anna has just been phenomenal throughout this process, and we have a lot of great things happening at all of our senior buildings because of the work that she and her team does for our city. Additionally, I'd like to thank all of the donors who brought water or spent water to make sure that residents were hydrated and had water to flush toilets, wash dishes, etc., etc.. Under the leadership of Karen Clifford, she brought all of the neighborhood stabilization volunteers. They rotated in and out to make sure that residents had water. Water was delivered to 225 doors daily. The city's Area Agency on Aging. As I said before, under the leadership of Anneliese Dover, Justin Hauser, the health department and their team of volunteers with the mayor's office, Mayor Spencer, Dan Guenther, Jonathan and so many others in that office who came to bring water, volunteered to deliver water. I'm sorry. Continue. You hear me? Yes. We can. Please send you. Okay. Thank you. The Urban League, under the leadership of Mike McMillan.

Jessica Trout flew volunteers watch you watch. The university volunteers volunteered. And I'm praying that I didn't miss anybody. But. Oh, and last but not least, those residents at Council Tower who took it upon themselves daily to assist with meal service. They served every resident three meals a day. They organized it on their own. The management company with wind properties provided the food and they made sure that it was evenly distributed. This is something that we generally don't see, and I'm so glad to have had this experience under some very trying circumstances.

Bill number 12, introduced by Alderman Aldrich, president. Green. Alderman Browning, alderman, devotee and Alderwoman Velasquez. An ordinance to regulate employer and employee working relationships between the City of Saint Louis and all employees under the classified service, including a compensation plan, terms and conditions of employment benefits, leave of absence and authorization for deferred Compensation plan. Repealing Ordinance Number 71963, allocating certain other employees to agreed with rate and including an emergency clause. This ordinance shall be in full force and effect from and after June 14th, 2026, and shall remain in effect until amended or repealed by the Board of Aldermen. Aldermen from the 14th year recognized on the Perfection of Board Bill number 12. Thank you, Mr. Vice President and members of the board. I move that we perfect board bill number 12. It's been moved by the alderman from the 14th, seconded by the aldermen from the or from the first that we perfect board bill number 12. Alderman, you may proceed. Thank you, Mr. Vice President. Members of the board. Board, bill number 12 is a continuation of trying to help our city employees with board. Bill number 12 will do is to repeal the previous 3% pay increase. And we are creating or put in place a new 3% pay increase that was done through the compensation study. This ordinance put effect for recommendations. That was a citywide classification and compensation study that was done by Evergreen Solutions. This 3% will allow for recommendations, including some title changes and adoption of new open pay ranges. This also moves a lot of the individuals in the city of Saint Louis, where they start in salary will go up, so people that are coming into the city of Saint Louis applying for certain jobs, salaries will be a little higher than what they previously were. All employees moving to the open range pay schedule will receive a minimum of 3% pay increase. Some employees will receive more than a 3% as a result of the increase to the minimum of the salary. So this is, like I say, a opportunity for us to support our city workers. This has been an ongoing thing where previous and current administrations are putting in these 3% pay increases to try to help our City of Saint Louis workers, and it gives an opportunity for other departments to also opt in, such as the Board of Aldermen, which we have done in the past. I'm really proud about this legislation. I appreciate everybody who signed on as a co-sponsor and also appreciate the mayor's collaboration and want to give a huge shout out the personnel director, Brian Light, that has worked very hard on this. We just recently did the one time lump sum which civil service employees will be getting. And then as this pass, it will go into the FY 27 budget cycle, where City of Saint Louis, the City of Saint Louis employees will be getting a 3% range race, as well as raising the minimum pay for a lot of these positions throughout our city of Saint Louis. And I will open up for any questions. Mr. Vice President. Any discussion? Alderwoman from the 12th, you're recognized. Mr.. Mr.. Vice president, members of the board. If the 14th would yield. Alderman from the 14th, will you yield to questions from the Alderwoman from the 12th? Yes. Alderwoman. You may proceed. Okay. Thank you, thank you. You talked about, first of all, you talked about a open range pay scale. Is that something new is something that has been done before because I don't remember that term. And maybe you're using a different term than I am familiar with. So is that way for people to get paid in the same grade at different levels? Can you explain that to me, please? Yeah, you're just breaking up. I'm trying to figure out. What are you saying about open range? Am I'm breaking up. Is that what you say? Yes. All the saying I'm breaking up. That's correct. Alderwoman. I got most of what you're saying is just like it's. It's is breaking up as you speak. It's. You're kind of grainy. I don't understand that. That's from your hand. That's a little better. I'm trying to ask a question about open range and that. Could you give that definition? That's what I'll say. Since you can't hear me, I can't ask questions if you can't hear me. Open range. What are you asking about that? Are you saying that. The question I said, I don't I don't recall the term open range. Is that a new term or something I've just forgotten. And which people can get paid an open amount between certain amounts in the same pay grade pay level? Is that what that is? Yes, ma'am. Okay. And who is determining that? So if you and I are both entry levels, is that determined by experience? What what who makes that determination and and what it is. What is it based on? I'm not sure what is based on. I'm sure it'll be based on if somebody put an application in based on resume, and it most likely between the director and the personnel, whoever the director of the department at a person is trying to go into in forestry, parks, health and the director of personnel. So then the either the appointing authority or the director of personnel. What do you know if it's one or the other or both, that would make that determination. I mean, in the past, from what I've heard, it is from department heads that have worked with the director, and we have a new one that they worked together to believe if employee deserves a higher wage, they have to work with the personnel director on that. Because, you know, we also have pay grades. If you go to high, you may go over a pay grade, which changes the title of that actual position, but it would be in collaboration with the Department of Personnel and whatever department that an individual is going out to apply for. I remember something of that happening at the board. We wanted to give our secretaries raises, and I think what happened is that that's how they all became executive secretary, because there was something said we couldn't give them a raise. So we made them all executive secretaries, I think, because at the formerly, only the person who stepped back in the back with the senior alderman made up higher pay level than everybody else, and that was quite unpopular. The other thing is that is this going to encompass the 3% raise we just gave everybody, or would it also encompass anything that might come later if we found out we could give bonuses? Is this how what does this cover. What's the range that this covers? I guess is the question I'm asking. Is it for the year for I think you said in the, in the, in the board bill that it is until we change it. So could we change it, say six months from now if we wanted to? And you was waking up a little bit again, change. What if I hear you correctly? That that's all right. That's all right. That's fine. I will try to find out if you. Are you going to attend in their own passing this bill today? Suspending the rules? No, ma'am. Okay, then I can just ask you later. I'll be fine with that. Thank you. Okay. Any further discussion? Alderwoman from the seventh. Alderwoman from the seventh. Madam clerk. Am I correct in that she has her hand up? Okay. Alderwoman from the seventh, you're recognized for discussion on board bill number 12. Alderwoman from the seventh. We saw you on camera briefly. Are you? Your hand is up. Are you wanting to speak on board, bill number 12? Yes, yes. I'm sorry. Thank you, Mr. Vice President. Added, as a co-sponsor is what I heard. I think. The alderman from the seventh would like to be added as a co-sponsor to board bill number 12, Metal Notice. Thank you. Any further discussion? I'll do it from 13. Alderwoman from the 13th. You're recognized. Mr. president, I think it's something wrong. With the internet or something. Because everybody is. Being chopped up. Their voices aren't clear. We actually heard you pretty loud and clear. Alderwoman said. Beg you, be it okay. Thank you. Thank you. Alderwoman. Any further discussion? Alderwoman from the 11th. I too am having the same issue. It's going in and out. I was actually knocked off earlier and and got back on to the meeting. But it is. It's really choppy this morning. Okay. We actually could hear you pretty well, Alderwoman from the 11th, but I will ask the clerk's office to take a look into sleeve. But we are almost at the end of our agenda at this point. Is there any further discussion on board Bill number 12? Seeing none. Madam Alderman, you're recognized a close. Thank you, Mr. Vice President. Members of the board again. Board. Bill 12 is just the annual 3% pay raises that we have been doing for the last several years. I think this is there's been a lot of work done between the personnel department and Evergreen Solution to come up with this compensation study. Again, a lot of our positions throughout the city of Saint Louis will be lifted to where maybe like a forestry worker start. And I'm not clear on the numbers, but say they start at 40. A lot of different departments minimum now will be lifted maybe to like 45 or 46 when people that are coming in starting higher as well as this 3% would raise a lot of our employees throughout the city of Saint Louis. This is another way, I think, from city government. It is trying to show that we're trying to be competitive with a lot of other regions and other places that, you know, pay higher. But we appreciate our city workers. We know our city workers work hard every single day, from the Board of aldermen to forestry to streets to every department, work very hard and not being compensated in the way that they should. It was excited that was able to get the one time lump some across the finish line that would be going on people checks very soon. And then if you're a civil service employee and this 3% would be a 3%, that would go for all employees throughout the city of Saint Louis. So I appreciate the individuals that signed on as a co-sponsor of the mayor and asked my colleagues for their favorable consideration on board Bill number 12. Madam clerk, please call the roll auto.
