Wildwood Councilmember Debra Smith<br />

McCutchen [Ward 5] was the lone vote<br />

against the first reading of legislation on<br />

April 10 that would authorize Mayor Jim<br />

Bowlin to negotiate and execute contracts<br />

on behalf of the city with various contractors,<br />

including Kelpe Construction Inc., to<br />

build a new city salt storage facility.<br />

Kelpe is donating the land, at <strong>17</strong>955<br />

Manchester Road, for the project.<br />

The combined cost of the contracts is<br />

estimated at as much as $792,299.64. A<br />

final vote on the legislation is set for April<br />

24.<br />

Six bid packages are necessary to construct<br />

the project. Kelpe Construction’s<br />

bid, in the amount of $79,013.00, was the<br />

lowest and best received for construction<br />

management and site work, city officials<br />

have said. Another bid from Kelpe, for<br />

$48,091, was the lowest and best to furnish<br />

and install stainless steel coiling doors.<br />

Wildwood takes steps to accept<br />

salt storage property donation<br />

were related pieces of legislation that<br />

would accept dedication of property to the<br />

city at the new salt storage site for right-ofway<br />

purposes and other uses, along with a<br />

permanent cross access easement to allow<br />

entry and exit to it from Manchester Road<br />

at the northwest corner of St. Albans and<br />

Manchester roads. Legislation allowing<br />

Bowlin to execute a donation agreement<br />

for the acquisition of property at that site<br />

from Tom and Lisa Kelpe also was read.<br />

Councilmember Katie Dodwell [Ward 4]<br />

praised the donation by the Kelpe family,<br />

saying it “will help the city save money in<br />

the long run and provide safer roadways.”<br />

Since the city’s incorporation in <strong>19</strong>95,<br />

Wildwood has been dependent on numerous,<br />

privately-held locations for storage of<br />

road salt.<br />

But McCutchen countered that, while<br />

she also appreciated the donation, she is<br />

“concerned on transparency.”<br />

“We’re taking the land and then awarding<br />

Kelpe two contracts for part of the facility<br />

construction,” she said.<br />

The Staenberg Group, in partnership<br />

with BrightView and Habitat<br />

for Humanity Saint Louis ReStore,<br />

invites the community to the Annual<br />

Flower Bulb Giveaway at 9 a.m. on<br />

Sunday, April 30.<br />

The free event takes place at the<br />

Habitat for Humanity Saint Louis<br />

ReStore in Des Peres, 21<strong>17</strong> Sams<br />

Drive [behind Sam’s Club].<br />

For more than a decade, The Staenberg<br />

Group and their partners have<br />

harvested the bulbs from multiple<br />

shopping centers in the region and invited<br />

the community to share in the bounty. The<br />

company estimates that more than 300,000<br />

free bulbs have been given away since<br />

2006.<br />

“This year’s giveaway is the day before<br />

Earth Day and we can’t think of a better<br />

way to celebrate Mother Nature,” said<br />

Stacey Morse, vice president, community<br />

giving and nonprofit consulting for the<br />

Staenberg Group. “We are grateful to our<br />

partners, as well as the community, for<br />

helping us continue the giveaway.”<br />

Habitat for Humanity Saint Louis originally<br />

tried to do the flower giveaway at<br />

its downtown location but soon ran out<br />

of space, said Josh Vaughn, general manager<br />

of Habitat for Humanity Saint Louis<br />

ReStore.<br />

Early birds are welcome, but the giveaway<br />

begins promptly at 9 a.m. The prebagged<br />

bulbs, which may include tulips<br />

and daffodils, will be limited to one bag<br />

per person while supplies last.<br />

This year, More Than Coffee will offer<br />

coffee and Nothing Bundt Cakes will provide<br />

complimentary single-serving ‘bundlets,’<br />

which are smaller versions of its<br />

cakes. Habitat for Humanity Saint Louis<br />

ReStore, will offer a 25 percent discount<br />

off all purchases made on April 30. <strong>West</strong><br />

<strong>Newsmagazine</strong> is the exclusive print media<br />

partner of the event.<br />

What do you do once you get the bulbs<br />

home? While the bulbs may be planted<br />

right away, for best results, store them in<br />

a dark, cool and dry place that is wellventilated<br />

until it is time to plant in the fall.
