Citizens to Vote on Proposition P November 8
On November 8, 2016, Creve Coeur citizens will
vote on Proposition P, a bond measure which, if
approved, would fund construction of a new police
station. The ballot measure is the result of more than
two years of study by the citizens’ Needs Analysis
Task Force, the City Council and city staff.
The Government Center, which houses the Police
Department, was originally constructed in 1951
as Weber Elementary School. It has not received
a major renovation since its conversion to the
Government Center in 1989. Since that time, public
safety demands have significantly increased.
When Weber Elementary was converted into the
Government Center, the city’s population was
approximately 12,304 according to the 1990
United States Census Bureau. Since then, the
city’s population has notably increased due to the
annexation of Ward 4 as well as new developments.
The Census Bureau most recently projected
Creve Coeur’s population to be 18,276 in 2015,
an increase of approximately 48.5 percent. The
permanent population only tells part of the picture;
the daytime population of Creve Coeur swells to
nearly 50,000 due to its vibrant commercial districts.
This Issue
Proposed language for November 8 ballot
PROPOSITION P
Shall the City of Creve Coeur, Missouri, issue
its general obligation bonds in an amount up to
$10,690,000 for the purpose of constructing,
furnishing and equipping a new police station
on the current government center property
and making safety, security and accessibility
renovations to the existing building?
Yes _____
No _____
The population growth has led to an increase in
public safety demands. Between 1990 and 2015, the
number of calls for service the Police Department
received increased from 10,181 to 16,933 an
increase of 66.1 percent.
To continue providing residents with a high level
of service, the Police Department has increased
the number of officers serving the Creve Coeur
community from 34 in 1990 to 50 today.
However, the facilities remain largely the same.

MAYOR GLANTZ
A few weeks ago, Sheri and I dropped our
daughter, Marissa, off for her freshman
year at Butler University. While we have
had similar experiences with her two older
brothers, there was something about sending
our youngest away to school that made this
exciting transition for her just a bit more
emotional for us. At the convocation for new students, the President
of the University shared some of his thoughts about the Butler
community - how he and his staff strive to foster a positive, respectful
scholastic environment while also trying to ensure the care and safety
of individual students, so that each can thrive. He also challenged the
students to look after one another - and I immediately recognized the
similarity of her new academic setting to that of
our Creve Coeur community.
to the facilities currently utilized by our officers in service to our
community. Security compromises and conflicting uses between the
police department and current government center will be eliminated,
and the space vacated can be easily renovated for continued use by
other municipal departments.
Proposition P is an investment in our future – ensuring the
continuation of high-quality professional law enforcement services
that our residents have come to know and expect.
I am very proud that the City of Creve Coeur has been debt free
following completion of payments for Millennium Park, in 2014
(5 years early), and therefore, I do not take this bond issue “lightly.”
Responsible leadership includes being a respectful steward of taxpayer
dollars, but also calls for serious examination of the resources and
facilities required to maintain high-quality public services. This
property tax increase (approximately $60.00 per year for a home
valued at $400,000.00) will provide the funding
to construct this new facility, allowing our
police department to operate more efficiently

Greetings to our Ward II neighbors!
We hope you had an enjoyable summer. Our
community is blessed with many parks and
other recreational amenities. Perhaps you
were able to take advantage of them.
In response to a number of recent questions,
we would like to highlight the municipal
cooperative arrangements Creve Coeur is
involved with across all departments. These
kinds of collaborations are entered into when
available, and when they make financial
sense for our community.
Probably the most well-known of these
arrangements is that in the Recreation
Department. Do you know we have reciprocal
agreements with Ballwin and University City
that allow all residents in the communities to
play at each other’s golf courses for resident
rates? Our agreement with Maryland Heights
gives reciprocal resident rates for our golf
course and ice arena, and their Aquaport.

Creve Coeur is a founding member of the
St. Louis Area Insurance Trust (SLAIT), a
self-insurance pool with 25 member cities for
liability, worker’s compensation and health
insurance. This partnership has been very
successful in controlling our insurance costs.
In fact, in Fiscal Year 2016, the city did
not experience a rate increase for the health
insurance plan.
City Departments
We also take advantage of cooperative
arrangements when purchasing police vehicles,
fuel, tires, road salt, and asphalt for street
repairs. The MoDOT Cooperative Purchase
Agreement is consistently 30 - 35 percent off
the list price. Creve Coeur works with other
communities to share equipment when needed.

Our Police Department has in place a number
of cooperative programs. In order to investigate
drug crimes that occur within Creve Coeur and
neighboring cities, Creve Coeur assigns one of
our detectives to the St. Louis County MultiJurisdictional Drug Task Force. The West
Central Dispatch Center (WCDC) provides
public safety communication services (i.e. 911
calls) for the communities of Creve Coeur,
Town and Country and Frontenac.
The Public Works Department has various
cooperative agreements. After St. Louis County
stopped handling traffic signal maintenance
for cities, Creve Coeur became one of nine
municipalities that contract together for
management and response to traffic signal
issues. Creve Coeur and Town and Country are
working together to develop a concept design
for a continuous sidewalk along Mason Road
from Olive Boulevard to Clayton Road.
Public Works just recently used a Kirkwood
cooperative clause for road micro-surfacing
projects throughout the city. Looking to
the future, staff is currently evaluating the
feasibility of new cooperative agreements for
both pavement striping and crack sealing.
While the above examples do not cover every
agreement, once again, they show the work
our city staff does to make sure taxpayer
money is spent wisely.
Please mark Monday, October 17 at 7:30

meeting. We will meet at the Dielmann

Proposition P November 8
Continues from page 1
“The Government Center was adequate
for serving the residents of Creve Coeur in
1990,” said Chief of Police Glenn Eidman,
“but public safety demands have changed.
The Police Department has outgrown the
current facilities.”
If the bond measure is approved by the
required four-sevenths majority of voters,
general obligation bonds totaling $10.69 will be issued. The real and
personal property tax levy is estimated at $0.080 for twenty years,
which would result in an estimated increase in
real estate taxes of $60.90 annually on a home
with a market value of $400,000.
“The police station is the hub of public
safety activity and is an integral aspect of
maintaining a safe community,” said Eidman.
“Our officers are committed to providing
the highest level of service to the Creve
Coeur community, and a new police station will equip them with the
necessary tools to maintain that level of service into the future.”
Public Forum and Open House
The Police Department will host a Public Forum and Open House on
Tuesday, October 25 at 7:00 p.m. in Council Chambers of the Creve

City Begins Climate Action Plan Phase II
City Council has taken another step
toward reducing the city’s carbon footprint
by adopting Phase Two of the Climate
Action Plan (CAP). The first phase of
the CAP was approved in 2010 with the
goal of reducing greenhouse gas (GHG)
emissions by 20 percent by 2015. Whereas
phase one focused on cost-effective
strategies to reduce energy use and GHG
emissions in municipal operations, phase
two seeks to undertake more ambitious
initiatives that encourage the community
as a whole to make reductions.
The CAP Phase Two was drafted by Luis
Garcia, a member of the US Green Building
Council - Missouri Gateway Chapter’s
Regional Environmental Internship
Program and was recommended by the
city’s Energy and Environment Committee.
It outlines six key goals for the community
as a whole and government operations:
1. Increase energy efficiency
2. Increase the use of renewable energy
3. Increase the use of alternative
transportation
4. Provide and encourage education
on climate change and strategies to
reduce energy consumption and GHG
emissions
5. Reduce waste
6. Encourage the development of plans
and strategies to cope with and adapt
to the changes that will occur due to
climate change
The CAP is among many initiatives the
city has taken since the City Council
passed a resolution supporting the US
Mayors Climate Protection Agreement in
2008 including establishing the Energy
and Environment Committee, making
several changes to municipal buildings to
improve energy efficiency, and becoming
the second Green Power Community
in Missouri by partaking in the
Environmental Protection Agency’s Green
Power Community Challenge.
“Phase two of the CAP acknowledges the
human effect on global climate change
and outlines several goals and actions
the community can take to reduce its
environmental impact,” said Joseph
Martinich, Energy and Environment
Committee Vice Chair. “While it is
important that city operations become
more environmentally friendly as outlined
in phase one, to make a significant impact
on our carbon footprint as a city, we need
businesses and residents to take action to
reduce greenhouse gas emissions.”

Climate Action Plan or to find additional

Coeur de Ville Road Closure
The city will make substantial improvements to its portion of
Coeur de Ville Drive this fall. The city owns the section of Coeur
de Ville between Royal Manor Drive and the entrance to Parc
Provence, and most of the street and sidewalk in this area are in
poor condition.
The project, which is subsidized by a federal grant, will include
repaving the street, new curbs, upgrades to the sidewalks,
retaining wall repairs, and landscaping at the intersection of
Ladue Road and Coeur de Ville Drive. Coeur de Ville Drive will
be closed to traffic for approximately three weeks in October so
that the curbing and roadway work can be completed safely and
efficiently. Lake School Park may be closed for a portion of this
time. Please use a different route or follow the posted detour
during the work.
For additional details, please contact Matt Wohlberg, City Engineer,
at [email protected] or (314) 442-2084.
Street Tree Program Deadline
The deadline to apply for the fall street tree planting program
is Friday, October 7. In this public-private partnership, the city
and resident/subdivision each pay for 50 percent of the tree
and installation, to be planted in the public right-of-way. Find
out more or apply online at www.creve-coeur.org/streettrees.
