Courtesy Resolutions RESOLUTION NUMBER 39 CELEBRATING THE 20 TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE JUNETEENTH CELEBRATION HELD BY ARTHUR PENNEY WHEREAS, slavery didn’t end with the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation. Although President Abraham Lincoln proclaimed in 1863 the freedom of “all persons held as slaves” within the Confederacy, in Page 13 of 16 practice, the unjust American institution wouldn’t conclude for about two more years. Juneteenth, which was officially declared a federal holiday in 2021. The Juneteenth National Independence Day Act celebrates this milestone; and WHEREAS, the Juneteenth traces its roots back to Texas, where too few Union troops were stationed to actually enforce the Emancipation Proclamation. It would be more than two years until General Gordon Granger of the Union army arrived in Galveston, Texas, on June 19, 1865, and told those still held captive that they were free. General Granger’s orders marked the beginning of Juneteenth celebrations. As the once- enslaved population of Galveston began departing Texas, they took the traditions of Juneteenth with them, and the celebration spread to other states; and WHEREAS, Slavery was officially abolished in 1865 with the ratification of the 13th Amendment. As time passed, Juneteenth expanded, but primarily only in Black communities. However, within the past several decades, Juneteenth has received more widespread recognition. In 1980, Texas officially acknowledged Juneteenth as a state holiday, and in successive years, at least 41 other states and the District of Columbia followed suit to recognize the day; and WHEREAS, the holiday has since grown across the region and become officially recognized. In 2003, Missouri officially recognized Juneteenth as Emancipation Day. In 2021, St. Louis County formally designated Juneteenth as an official county holiday. In 2022, St. Louis City followed suit, officially recognizing Juneteenth as a paid holiday for city employees; and WHEREAS, Sabayet, Inc. is a family-owned grassroots organization and community center based in the historic Ville Neighborhood in North St. Louis, Missouri.

Through their various services, collaborations, and projects, Sabayet, Inc. strives to make a positive impact on individuals and communities, fostering growth and empowerment; and WHEREAS, Mr. Arthur Penny is the founder and President of Sabayet, Inc.; and WHEREAS, in 2006, Mr. Arthur Penny began a community celebration of Juneteenth in North St. Louis City in the historic Ville Neighborhood in honor of our ancestors and to remind and educate the community of our history and celebrate how far the community has come while acknowledging there is more to do; and WHEREAS, Friday, June 12, 2026 from 4:00 p.m. until 8:00 p.m. Sabayet’s and Arthur Penny will host a kick- off to the 25th Anniversary of Juneteenth. On Saturday, June 13, 2026 from 11:00 a.m. until 12:00 p.m. the 25th Anniversary of Juneteenth will be held in the Ville Neighborhood at their annual location of Maffitt Avenue and Bishop PL Scott Avenue.

A shift differential compensation for certain work assignments may be paid. The appointing 46 authority shall determine the work assignments or activities performed for which shift 47 differential compensation shall be paid. 48 Before shift differential compensation may be made, an employee must have completed five (5) 49 hours of regular employment before 7:00 a.m. or five (5) hours after 3:00 p.m. in the twenty- 50 four-hour period which begins at the employee’s normal reporting time. 51 An employee shall be paid 1.00% of the employee’s regular base bi-weekly rate for each 52 eligible shift worked in a bi-weekly pay period. An employee shall work a complete eligible shift 53 to receive shift differential compensation. Shift differential shall not be paid to employees who 54 work part-time, or to full-time regular employees docked for any portion of a shift. Shift 55 differential shall only be paid for whole hours worked, providing the portion of the shift not 56 worked is charged to paid leave. A fraction of an hour shall not be counted toward the payment Page 5 of 20 Board Bill Number 10 Clark Hubbard May 1, 2026 Page 183 of 255 57 of the differential. An employee shall not receive shift differential compensation for any 58 overtime worked that is not part of their regular schedule. 59 B. Employees who work on a Saturday and/or Sunday shall be paid a weekend differential. This 60 differential shall be 1.00% of an employee’s base bi-weekly rate and shall not be paid for any 61 overtime worked that is not part of an employee’s regular schedule. Weekend differential shall 62 only be paid for whole hours worked, providing the portion of the day not worked is charged to 63 paid leave. A fraction of an hour shall not be counted toward the payment of the differential. 64 Weekend differential shall not be paid to employees compensated on an hourly or per- 65 performance basis, or to bi-weekly paid employees who work part-time, or to full-time regular 66 employees docked for any portion of a day. 67 C. The appointing authority may approve the payment of hiring incentives to recruit qualified 68 personnel for positions that are difficult to fill. Hiring incentives shall be in any amount up to 69 twenty-five percent (25%) of the annual salary of the position for which the incentive is to be 70 paid. 71 D. An employee who is appointed to a position requiring advanced technical skills or 72 professional qualifications may be paid at a rate up to ten percent (10%) higher than prescribed 73 for the class. Such advancement shall be made solely on the basis that the employee possesses 74 exceptional academic qualifications related to the duties of the position. The appointing authority 75 may also establish other bonus, incentive, or reimbursement programs to encourage current 76 employees to attain registration, licensure, certification, or proof of professional mastery when it 77 is deemed to be in the best interest of the service, or when such credentials are clearly recognized Page 6 of 20 Board Bill Number 10 Clark Hubbard May 1, 2026 Page 184 of 255 78 as adding to the capability of individuals in that area. Incentives, bonuses, or reimbursements 79 conveyed under such programs shall not result in an employee being ruled ineligible for bonuses 80 or salary increases permitted under other sections of this chapter. 81 E. The appointing authority may establish a location allowance for positions which are difficult 82 to fill at specific duty stations. This allowance shall be in an amount up to ten percent (10%) of 83 the median of the pay range of the position for which the allowance is to be paid. The location 84 allowance shall be considered an addition to pay and shall not change the employee’s base rate. 85 F. No employee shall be paid at a rate lower than the minimum or higher than the maximum of 86 the salary range established for the class to which his or her position has been allocated, except 87 as otherwise provided in this chapter. 88 G. When a new employee is approved under Section 57.530, Revised Statutes of Missouri, 1978, 89 the annual rate of compensation shall be twenty-six (26) times the first or lowest step within each 90 rank or position. 91 H. Deputies and assistants in the Sheriff’s Office may receive an hourly, daily, or other rate for 92 special services assigned by the Sheriff, when such special services are for additional work over 93 and above the regularly assigned working hours and payment of such special service is being 94 taxed as costs in the particular case or circumstance and deposit of such cost is made in advance 95 of such special services. 96 SECTION FIVE: Starting Salary. Page 7 of 20 Board Bill Number 10 Clark Hubbard May 1, 2026 Page 185 of 255 97 The minimum rate of pay for a position shall be paid upon original appointment to the class, 98 unless the appointing authority finds that it is impossible to recruit employees with adequate 99 qualifications at the minimum rate. 100 If an advanced starting salary is necessary, the appointing authority may establish a recruitment 101 rate for a single position or all positions in a class and authorize employment at a figure above 102 the minimum but within the regular range of salary established for the class. 103 SECTION SIX: Promotion, demotion, reallocation and transfer. 104 An employee who is transferred, promoted, demoted, or whose position is reallocated after the 105 effective date of this chapter, shall have his or her rate of pay for the new position determined as 106 follows: 107 A. Promotion. This shall be defined as a change of an employee from a position of one class to a 108 position of another class with higher pay grade. 109 1. When an employee is promoted to a position in the General Schedule, the 110 employee's salary shall be set at a rate which is five percent (5%) higher than the rate 111 received immediately prior to promotion. The Appointing Authority may approve up to a twenty 112 percent (20%) salary adjustment when such action is needed to attract 113 experienced, qualified candidates for a position. Such salary determination shall take into 114 consideration the nature and magnitude of the accretion of duties and responsibilities resulting 115 from the promotion. However, no employee shall be paid less than the minimum rate nor more Page 8 of 20 Board Bill Number 10 Clark Hubbard May 1, 2026 Page 186 of 255 116 than the maximum rate for the new class of position, except as otherwise provided in this 117 chapter. 118 2. Temporary Promotions. Promotions of employees regardless of status, made for a limited 119 duration, shall result in a salary adjustment as in paragraph A. 1 of this section. Upon expiration 120 of the temporary promotion, the employee shall be returned to his/her former rate of pay, 121 adjusted by any increases the employee may have received in the absence of the temporary 122 promotion. 123 In no case shall the employee's salary be above the maximum of the salary range. 124 B. Demotion. This shall be defined as a change of an employee to a position of one class to a 125 position of another class which has a lower pay grade. 126 1. If an employee accepts a voluntary demotion, his or her rate of pay shall be reduced to a rate 127 within the range for the new position. The appointing authority may approve up to a ten percent 128 (10%) salary decrease upon demotion. However, no employee shall be paid less than the 129 minimum nor more than the maximum rate for the new class of position. 130 C. Reallocation. 131 1. The salary of an employee which is in excess of the maximum of the range 132 prescribed by this chapter for the class and grade to which his or her position has been 133 allocated or may be reallocated shall not be reduced by reason of the new salary range and grade. 134 The salary of such employee shall not be increased so long as he or she 135 remains in the class of position, except as otherwise provided by this chapter. Page 9 of 20 Board Bill Number 10 Clark Hubbard May 1, 2026 Page 187 of 255 136 2. If the employee's position is reallocated to class in a lower pay grade and the 137 rate of pay for the previous position is within the salary range of the new position, his or her 138 salary shall remain unchanged. 139 3. The salary of an employee whose position is allocated to a class in a higher pay 140 grade shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of this subsection A. 1 of this 141 section relating to salary advancement on promotion. 142 D. Transfer. The salary rate of an employee who transfers to a different position in the 143 same class, or from a position in one class to a position in another class in the same pay grade, 144 regardless of pay schedule, shall remain unchanged, provided that no employee shall be paid less 145 than the minimum rate nor more than the maximum rate for the new class of position. 146 SECTION SEVEN: Salary adjustment. 147 A. A decrease in the salary range for poor performance of the duties of the position or for job 148 performance which does not warrant continued pay at an advanced rate in the salary range shall 149 be made in accordance with standards established by the appointing authority. 150 1. Exceptional Performance of Duties. The appointing authority of an employee 151 who demonstrates exceptional performance of duties or outstanding qualifications may advance 152 the employee, by not more than ten percent (10%) after twenty-six (26) weeks of employment at 153 a rate in the salary range which may be in addition to any merit increase received. 154 2. Substandard Performance of Duties. The appointing authority of an employee Page 10 of 20 Board Bill Number 10 Clark Hubbard May 1, 2026 Page 188 of 255 155 whose level of performance is significantly diminished and no longer warrants payment at the 156 current rate within the range may be decreased to a lower rate in the salary range. 157 B. The pay of any employee may be decreased as a disciplinary action by an appointing authority 158 to a lower rate or step within a salary range. The decrease shall not be greater than fifteen (15%) 159 percent of the employee's current salary rate. In no case shall the decrease be below the 160 minimum of the pay range for the class. The appointing authority may determine that the pay 161 decrease shall be effective for a specific number of bi-weekly pay periods, providing, however, 162 that such decrease shall not be effective for more than twenty six (26) weeks. 163 C. The appointing authority may establish procedures for the review and approval of within- 164 range salary adjustments to correct or mitigate serious and demonstrable internal pay inequities. 165 Salary adjustment under this provision shall preclude adjustments to compensate or reward 166 employees for long-term or meritorious service. 167 D. The appointing authority may approve a within range salary adjustment or other 168 incentives to retain employees in positions that are difficult to fill, or because of their unique 169 requirements. Said adjustment may only be granted once during a twenty-six (26) week period. 170 E. For the purpose of computing earnings and length of service for salary advancement, the time 171 shall start with the Sunday preceding all appointments effective on Monday. Absence from 172 service as a result of vacation, sick leave, jury/witness leave, suspension, non-paid absence, leave 173 of absence for service in the armed forces, and leaves of absence for study to improve 174 performance of a City job will not interrupt continuous service. Absence from service for any 175 other cause except as set forth above will result in breaking continuity of service. Page 11 of 20 Board Bill Number 10 Clark Hubbard May 1, 2026 Page 189 of 255 176 SECTION EIGHT: Income sources. 177 Any salary paid to an employee in the City service shall represent the total remuneration for the 178 employee, excepting reimbursements for official travel and other payments specifically special 179 services. No employee shall receive remuneration from the City in addition to the salary 180 authorized in this chapter for services rendered by the employee in the discharge of the 181 employee's ordinary duties, of additional duties which may be imposed upon the employee, or of 182 duties which the employee may undertake or volunteer to perform. 183 Whenever an employee not on an approved paid leave works for a period less than the regularly 184 established number of hours a day, days a week, or days bi-weekly, the amount paid shall be 185 proportionate to the hours in the employee's normal work week and the bi-weekly rate for the 186 employee's position. The payment of a separate salary for actual hours worked from two or more 187 departments, divisions, or other units of the City for duties performed for each of such agencies 188 is permissible if the total salary received from these agencies is not in excess of the maximum 189 rate of pay for the class. 190 SECTION NINE: Conversion. 191 All pay schedules in Section 4.36.020 shall continue in effect until the beginning of the bi- 192 weekly pay period starting concurrently with or after the effective date of this chapter, and then 193 the rates will be adjusted as follows: 194 1. The rates shall be adjusted in accordance with the minimum and maximum bi-weekly rates of 195 pay and within the Matrix. 196 2. No employee shall be reduced in salary by reason of the adoption of the new pay Page 12 of 20 Board Bill Number 10 Clark Hubbard May 1, 2026 Page 190 of 255 197 schedules in this chapter. 198 3. All pay schedules established in Ordinance Number 71968 shall continue in effect until the 199 beginning of the bi-weekly pay period effective upon passage of this chapter. 200 4. Based upon the service rating of an employee together with the standards of performance 201 established by the Sheriff shall determine eligibility for an annual one step within pay range 202 (merit) increase; or at the discretion of the Sheriff of an increase of more than one step by not 203 more than ten percent (10%) or to the closest step in the pay range which provides not more than 204 a ten percent (10%) increase for exceptional performance of duties. Any such pay increases shall 205 be adjusted by the employee's anniversary date. 206 The compensation of the Sheriff in a city not within a county may be annually increased by an 207 amount equal to the annual salary adjustment for employees of such a city as approved by the 208 board of alderman of such city and in accordance with Section 57.550, Revised Statutes of 209 Missouri. 210 SECTION TEN: Changes to pay plan. 211 Whenever the appointing authority finds it necessary to add a new class to the pay plan, the 212 appointing authority shall allocate the class to an appropriate grade and schedule in this chapter, 213 and notify the Board of Aldermen of this action. 214 Whenever the appointing authority finds it necessary to change the pay schedule of an existing 215 class within the pay plan, the appointing authority shall allocate the class to the appropriate 216 schedule in this chapter, and notify the Board of Aldermen of this action. Page 13 of 20 Board Bill Number 10 Clark Hubbard May 1, 2026 Page 191 of 255 217 Whenever the police department receives an adjustment to pay, the same percentage increase 218 shall be made to the Sheriff's Office pay plan for equivalent rank, and Comptroller shall fund the 219 increase. 220 SECTION ELEVEN: Military leave. 221 The City of St. Louis will follow all applicable state and federal laws on the granting of military 222 leave and reemployment rights. Before military leave without pay is authorized, the employee 223 shall present to the employee's appointing authority evidence of such military service. Upon the 224 expiration of military leave of absence, the employee shall be reinstated to the class of position 225 he/she occupied at the time the leave was granted without breaking continuity of service. Failure 226 of an employee to report for duty within the time pursuant to state or federal law shall be just 227 cause for dismissal. The employee's accumulated leave balance(s) shall be restored to the 228 employee upon his/her return. 229 SECTION TWELVE: Leave of absence and family/medical leave. 230 Employees may request a leave of absence for any reason under the leave policy, or may be 231 eligible for a "family/medical leave of absence" for certain qualifying reasons under provisions 232 of the federal "Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993" as provided in this chapter. 233 1. An appointing authority, may grant an employee in a competitive position a general leave of 234 absence with pay for a period not to exceed six (6) months, and an additional general leave of 235 absence without pay for a period not to exceed six (6) additional months thereafter, whenever 236 such leave is considered to be in the best interest of the City service. Page 14 of 20 Board Bill Number 10 Clark Hubbard May 1, 2026 Page 192 of 255 237 Such non-paid leaves are granted at the discretion of the appointing authority and may be for any 238 reason including an employee's personal illness when the circumstances do not qualify for 239 family/medical leave, or when eligibility for family/medical leave has been exhausted. 240 Upon the expiration of such leave of absence, the employee shall be reinstated to the 241 competitive position he or she occupied at the time the leave was granted provided he or she is 242 able to perform the duties of the position. The employee shall be reinstated to the position at the 243 same relative rate in the salary range the employee occupied at the time the leave was initiated. 244 Failure of an employee to report for duty promptly at the expiration of the leave shall be just 245 cause for dismissal. If necessary to the efficient conduct of the business of the City, an employee 246 on leave other than military leave or qualifying family/medical leave may be notified by the 247 appointing authority to return prior to the expiration of such leave. Failure of the employee to 248 return within ten (10) days after receipt of such notice would terminate his/her leave of absence 249 and be just cause for dismissal, subject to any applicable federal, state or local regulations. 250 2. The federal "Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993" entitles eligible employees to up to 12 251 weeks of unpaid leave in any 12-month period for the birth, adoption or placement of a child, to 252 care for a spouse or an immediate family member with a serious health condition, or when the 253 employee is unable to work because of a serious health condition. While an employee is on a 254 qualifying family/medical leave of absence, the City of St. Louis will continue to pay the 255 employee's health care premiums, if any, during the leave period. Once the leave is concluded, 256 the employee shall be reinstated to the same or an equivalent job. The appointing authority shall 257 establish additional rules, guidelines and procedures for the effective administration of the Page 15 of 20 Board Bill Number 10 Clark Hubbard May 1, 2026 Page 193 of 255 258 "Family/Medical Leave Policy." The policy shall comply with all provisions of the 259 "Family/Medical Leave Act of 1993" and any amendments thereafter. 260 3. Employees who are granted general leaves of absence and other non-paid leaves of 261 absence, except family/medical leaves of absence, must take all accrued vacation and 262 authorized sick leave at the start of the leave of absence. Employees who are granted a 263 non-paid leave of absence will not accrue vacation or sick leave during the period of non-paid 264 leave. Upon the expiration of such leaves of absence, the employee shall follow the procedures 265 as established in this section and any other applicable regulations and procedures as established 266 by the appointing authority. 267 4. An appointing authority, may place an employee on investigative leave of absence 268 without pay pending the outcome of criminal charges pending against the employee. 269 SECTION THIRTEEN: Holidays. 270 The Sheriff shall grant holiday leave with pay, holiday pay, or compensatory holiday time off in 271 lieu of pay to employees working full-time who are paid a bi-weekly rate on the following days: 272 273 Date Holiday January 1 New Year’s Day Page 16 of 20 Board Bill Number 10 Clark Hubbard May 1, 2026 Page 194 of 255 Third Monday in January Dr. Martin Luther King’s Birthday February 12 Lincoln’s Birthday Third Monday in February President’s Day May 8 Truman’s Birthday Last Monday in May Memorial Day June 19 Juneteenth July 4 Independence Day First Monday in September Labor Day October 8 Columbus Day November 11 Veterans’ Day Fourth Thursday in November Thanksgiving Day December 25 Christmas Day 274 275 Employees working full-time and paid a bi-weekly rate whose pay is established in this chapter 276 shall receive leave with pay, pay or compensatory time off in lieu of pay as holiday 277 compensation in an amount that is proportionate to the number of hours the employee is 278 regularly scheduled to work in a day or shift. For example, employees working an average of 279 forty (40) hours a week, five (5) days a week, eight (8) hours a day shall receive eight (8) hours 280 of compensation for the holiday; employees working an average of forty (40) hours a week, four Page 17 of 20 Board Bill Number 10 Clark Hubbard May 1, 2026 Page 195 of 255 281 (4) days a week, ten (10) hours a day shall receive ten (10) hours of compensation for the 282 holiday. 283 When the day of observance of a holiday is changed by State or Federal law, it will be so 284 observed by the City of St. Louis. When the day of observance of a holiday is changed by State 285 or Federal executive action, the Mayor shall determine the day of observance by the City of St. 286 Louis. When one of the above enumerated holidays occurs on Sunday, the following Monday 287 shall be observed as the holiday. When one of the above holidays occurs on Saturday, the 288 preceding Friday shall be observed as the holiday. 289 The Sheriff shall determine the manner of granting holidays. When full-time employees are 290 required to work on a holiday they shall be entitled to compensation for the holiday and the 291 hours actually worked. Compensation for the holiday shall be in an amount proportionate to the 292 number of hours an employee is regularly scheduled to work in a day or shift. 293 Except as otherwise provided in this section, when a City holiday falls on an employee's 294 regularly scheduled day off, the employee shall be entitled to have compensatory time added to 295 his/her balance in an amount proportionate to the number of hours regularly scheduled in a day 296 or shift. 297 The holiday compensation procedures established by this section shall apply to full-time 298 employees paid a bi-weekly rate. Part-time bi-weekly paid employees shall be compensated for 299 holidays in proportion to the percentage of time they are regularly scheduled to work. 300 Employees paid on an hourly or per performance basis shall not be entitled to holiday Page 18 of 20 Board Bill Number 10 Clark Hubbard May 1, 2026 Page 196 of 255 301 compensation. In the event that the holiday schedule established in this section is revised, 302 employees who are granted compensatory time in lieu of all holidays shall have their leave 303 benefits adjusted accordingly. 304 SECTION FOURTEEN: Jury and witness leave. 305 1. Jury leave with pay shall be granted to bi-weekly paid employees working one-half (50%) 306 time or more for such time when such employees are serving as jurors pursuant to order of the 307 St. Louis Circuit Court or Federal District Court in St. Louis. Any bi-weekly paid employee, 308 when so summoned for jury service, shall report such fact within seventy-two (72) hours to 309 his/her appointing authority and display to the appointing authority the summons which the 310 employee has received and shall give the appointing authority in writing the date and the time of 311 such jury service. No bi-weekly paid employee shall receive any compensation from the Jury 312 Commissioner or the Federal District Court system for jury service for days the employee 313 receives compensation from the City. A bi-weekly paid employee may keep the jury stipend for 314 days when the employee receives no compensation from the City (off days, docks, leaves, etc.) 315 Upon being excused from serving as a juror by the Court or the Jury Commissioner, the 316 employee shall report forthwith to his/her appointing authority and shall submit to his/her 317 appointing authority a written statement from the Jury Commissioner certifying that the 318 employee has served as a juror and the time and date so served. The appointing authority shall, 319 upon receipt of the statement of jury service, credit the employee with paid jury leave for such 320 service. Page 19 of 20 Board Bill Number 10 Clark Hubbard May 1, 2026 Page 197 of 255 321 2.

Any bi-weekly paid 324 employee, when so subpoenaed as a prosecution witness or whose presence is required as a part 325 of a grand jury inquiry, shall report such fact within seventy-two (72) hours to his/her appointing 326 authority and shall give the appointing authority in writing the date and time his/her presence is 327 required for such criminal prosecution. Each appointing authority shall establish controls to 328 assure that any paid leave is actually required by the prosecuting authority. An appointing 329 authority may require an employee to furnish satisfactory evidence of being required to be off 330 the job and that all time off was in connection with the prosecution of the case. This procedure 331 shall apply for employee participation in criminal prosecution in State or Federal Courts. 332 SECTION FIFTEEN: Compensation for Sheriff's Attorney. 333 The "Sheriff's Attorney" as provided under Section 57.540, Missouri Revised Statutes, 1978, 334 shall receive in addition to the compensation for his services as provided thereunder the sum of 335 not less than three thousand dollars per annum in bi-weekly installments.

Page 251 of 255 BOARD BILL NUMBER 19 INTRODUCED BY ALDERWOMAN JAMI COX ANTWI COSPONSORS: ALDERWOMAN ALISHA SONNIER/ALDERWOAN SHAMEEM CLARK-HUBBARD 1 An ordinance amending Ordinance 70767 to extend the sunset date of the Minority and Women- 2 Owned Business Enterprise Program for the City of St. Louis to December 31, 2026. 3 WHEREAS, the City of St. Louis passed Ordinance 70767 which codified the City's M/WBE 4 Program effective June 4, 2018 and included certain programmatic changes recommended in the 5 2015 Disparity Study; and 6 WHEREAS, Ordinance 70767 was amended in part by Ordinance 71094, effective April 7, 2020; 7 and 8 WHEREAS, the City of St. Louis remains committed to using its spending powers in a manner 9 that eliminates the disparities documented in the 2024 Disparity Study; and 10 WHEREAS, the City of St. Louis and the Board of Alderman remain committed to ensuring that 11 all St. Louis citizens participate in its economic growth and development and that no citizen be 12 denied an opportunity to participate in the procurement of goods and services due to race, sex, or 13 gender discrimination; 14 WHEREAS, the City of St. Louis and the Board of Aldermen remain committed to completing 15 the necessary actions to achieve that goal and have determined that extending the sunset date is a 16 necessary step in that effort; and 17 BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY OF ST. LOUIS AS FOLLOWS: 18 SECTION ONE. The Board of Aldermen finds that the Contract Disparity Study conducted by 19 Keen Independent Research (“Keen”) to determine whether Minority and Women-Owned 20 Business Enterprises (“M/WBE”s) are utilized on City of St. Louis and tax-incentivized prime 21 contracts and subcontracts relative to such firms’ availability within the St. Louis Metropolitan 22 Statistical Area was completed and presented to the City in February 2024. The Board further Page 1 of 4 Board Bill Number 19 Cox Antwi May 8, 2026 Page 252 of 255 1 finds that the Contract Disparity Study revealed statistically significant disparities for African 2 American, Asian American, Hispanic American, and Native American-Owned Business 3 Enterprise construction firms; African American, Asian American, Hispanic American, Native 4 American, and Women Owned Business Enterprise professional services firms; African American, 5 Asian American, Hispanic American, Native American, and Women Owned Business Enterprises 6 other services firms; and Asian American, Hispanic American, Native American, and Women 7 Owned Business Enterprises providing goods.
