Differences arose on May 1 at the Chesterfield<br />

City Council meeting regarding the<br />

appointment of the city’s representative<br />

to the Chesterfield Valley Transportation<br />

Development [TDD] board.<br />

The issue first came up at the April 19<br />

council meeting when City Administrator<br />

Mike Geisel said he thought the council<br />

should consider having someone other than<br />

himself serve on that board. Geisel first was<br />

named to the board when he was the city’s<br />

director of public services, a position in<br />

which his technical expertise and experience<br />

were important. Due to his new position as<br />

city administrator, Geisel said having someone<br />

else serve might be more appropriate.<br />

Several alternatives were discussed at<br />

that earlier session, but, without consensus,<br />

the issue was left unresolved and placed on<br />

the May 1 agenda as unfinished business.<br />

As before, the debate again ranged<br />

from whether to appoint a city employee<br />

or someone from the general public, how<br />

quickly the council needed to act on confirming<br />

whomever the mayor appointed<br />

and the possibility of Geisel simply continuing<br />

to serve on the TDD board. Councilmember<br />

Tom DeCampi [Ward 4], who<br />

championed the appointment of someone<br />

from the general public at the April meeting,<br />

did so again at the May 1 session.<br />

Geisel said he believed it was his duty<br />

Chesterfield Council considers<br />

administrator’s role on TDD board<br />

By MARY SHAPIRO<br />

Though the actual revenue received has<br />

helped with various school programs, the<br />

Parkway School District is receiving less<br />

money than anticipated from sponsorships<br />

for LED video display scoreboards that<br />

were installed at the district’s North, South,<br />

<strong>West</strong> and Central high schools between<br />

2015 and 2016.<br />

Patty Bedborough, the district’s chief<br />

financial officer, told the Board of Education<br />

on April 12 that smaller vendor contracts<br />

for shorter periods help support the<br />

scoreboards through the district’s sports<br />

marketing program, but that it’s been over<br />

a year since Parkway got a “title,” or highest-level,<br />

partner contract.<br />

“As of April 1,” Bedborough said, “we<br />

have secured <strong>17</strong> partnerships totaling<br />

$1,180,000 over the next five years.”<br />

In 2015, the board awarded a $1,722,970<br />

to raise the possibility of having someone<br />

else serve but, having brought up the issue<br />

publicly, he was willing to remain on the<br />

TDD board if the council chose that option.<br />

The appointment likely will have an<br />

impact on the TDD board’s deliberations of<br />

a request from supporters of a new Chesterfield<br />

Valley ice rink for district funding<br />

of infrastructure improvements associated<br />

with the project. Any debt the district incurs<br />

to finance such work is retired with revenue<br />

from an increased sales tax paid by those<br />

who patronize businesses in the Valley.<br />

Voters in nearby residential areas also<br />

must approve the continuation of the<br />

higher sales tax.<br />

As of the council meeting, the TDD board<br />

had not set a date for its next session but<br />

likely will meet either this month or next,<br />

Geisel said. Other members of the board<br />

include St. Louis County Executive Steve<br />

Stenger, a representative from the county<br />

transportation department and Nation.<br />

Various motions were made on when and<br />

how to approach the issue, including one<br />

in which Nation had to cast a tie-breaking<br />

vote. The end result was to defer the TDD<br />

appointment, pending its consideration by<br />

the council’s Finance and Administration<br />

Committee. With Nation not expected to<br />

be at the council’s May 15 meeting, there<br />

was agreement that the TDD appointment<br />

will not come up again until the council’s<br />

June 5 session.<br />

Parkway gets less revenue than expected<br />

from scoreboard sponsorships<br />

contract to Daktronics, Inc. for the design<br />

and construction of LED-integrated video<br />

displays and scoreboards at its four high<br />

school football stadiums.<br />

The project includes designing, manufacturing<br />

and installing new scoreboards<br />

that integrate a separate LED video display,<br />

sound system and static advertising<br />

display panels, as well as accessory<br />

items.<br />

Those, and any construction contingencies,<br />

were to be funded from proceeds from<br />

the Kelly Sports marketing program and<br />

outside donations, according to officials.<br />

The projected cost was $1,834,118, including<br />

$25,000 in advertising, printing and<br />

related costs.<br />

The district currently has four title partner<br />

sponsors – Mercy, Signature Medical<br />

Group, Lodging and Hospitality Management,<br />

and Maryville University – and 13<br />

lower-level partners.
