The big splash of the 4th may be over, but the County Council has declared all of July as a month to celebrate America's semi-quincentennial.

At the beginning of the month, we placed 250 flags in Memorial Park in Clayton, as well as a special America 250 flag commemorating the 250th Anniversary of our country's Declaration of Independence.

The Council and I encourage all St. Louis Countians to use this month to educate themselves and their children on our founding, honor the sacrifice of the brave colonists who fought for this new nation, and celebrate the freedom, unity and resilience we enjoy as Americans.

If you are looking for events that continue the celebration, check out the state's Showme250.mo.gov/events page and select St. Louis County for a listing of goings on in our county.

I and others on the council heard from so many people who were not able to access the county's online application and renewal system for the Senior Tax Freeze in the last two weeks that we knew some relief was needed. I was able to get an extension of the filing deadline passed by emergency order last night.

The Saint Louis County Council has passed an emergency order regarding the Senior Tax Freeze program implemented by the County Department of Revenue. Residents have experienced computer glitches and other software issues that made it impossible to apply or renew existing applications for the Senior Tax Freeze program before the 2026 deadline.

The emergency order authorized the Department of Revenue to extend the deadline for both new and renewal applications from June 30th through close of business on July 10th. This applies to both online and in-person applications.

This project which includes pavement, curb ramp replacements, sidewalk repairs, Accessible Pedestrian Signal installation and new curb ramps will start July 2026 and expected to be completed in Spring 2027. Residents who live along Sulphur Spring should be receiving a letter from the TPW department providing more details and contact information for questions. Please be patient with road crews as work progresses.
