CITY COUNCIL & HOUSING DECISION FILE

Where housing power becomes a record.

This maps formal authority and public access. It does not assign the council sole responsibility for housing supply or infer motive from a vote, meeting, contribution, or lobbying registration.

LEGISLATIVE BODYSt. Louis Board of Aldermen

The Board legislates zoning, development, housing programs, budgets, incentives, and public assets, with Planning Commission and administrative review preceding many actions.

PUBLIC DECISION PATHPlanning staff or commission → aldermanic committee → Board of Aldermen → mayoral action.

Advisory and binding stages must remain labeled separately.

LOBBYING ACCESSState disclosure path

Missouri Ethics Commission records provide a state disclosure path; every claimed City connection needs a matching committee, filer, subject, or municipal record.

STATUS IS THE HEADLINE

One matter. Every procedural turn.

A person can be connected to multiple matters. Each matter keeps its own forum, case number, allegations, findings, outcome, and appeal history.

01Public filingComplaint, audit, referral, or charging document
02ReviewJurisdiction, legal sufficiency, probable cause, or investigation
03DecisionDismissal, no violation, settlement, plea, verdict, or final order
04AftermathSanction, sentence, appeal, reversal, corrective action, or closure

A complaint is an allegation. A charge is an allegation in court. An audit finding is an oversight conclusion. An ethics violation is an administrative outcome. Only a guilty plea or conviction is labeled as a criminal finding—and appeals or vacatur remain visible.
