Why St. Louis Needs a City Manager

<h2>The 6th Ward</h2>The 6th Ward is home to a diverse and dynamic population of approximately 22,700 residents. The district encompasses a mix of residential neighborhoods, commercial areas, restaurants and shops that contribute to its unique character.

<h2>A City Manager for St. Louis</h2>In January, Ald. Velázquez filed <a href="https://www.stlouis-mo.gov/government/city-laws/board-bills/boardbill.cfm?bbDetail=true&amp;BBId=16633" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">BB162</a>, a charter change that can&nbsp;transform St. Louis City by establishing a city manager. This change moves the hiring of department leadership of essential services from a mayor's political appointees&nbsp;to picks based on qualifications from a nonpolitical City Manager with proven, professional expertise in delivering city services.The bill is currently being held until the 25-26 session for further development.

<h2>Understanding the role of an alderperson</h2>An alderperson, also known as a city councilperson in some regions, holds a pivotal position within local government, embodying the voice and will of the residents within their district. This role is not just a title; it's a commitment to public service, where the alderperson actively shapes their community's future through various responsibilities and duties.In St. Louis, voters elect 14 representatives to the city's legislative body, the Board of Aldermen. The Board creates, passes, and amends local laws, as well as approves the City's budget every year. The office of an alderperson works with other parts of the local government, including the mayor's office, the city's executive branch. Additionally, an alderperson collaborates with other government representatives, such as the state of Missouri and U.S. Congress, as necessary.Impact on the Community:Through their decisions and actions, an alderperson influences almost every aspect of their constituents' lives, from the safety of their neighborhoods to the quality of the local economy and parks. Their leadership can drive positive change, foster community engagement, and ensure that the city's growth and development reflect the needs and desires of its residents.An alderperson's responsibilities are vital for their community's effective governance and well-being. They are not just policymakers but advocates, problem solvers, and leaders committed to ensuring that the voices of residents are heard and considered in the tapestry of city affairs.

<h3 style="text-align: center">Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) </h3>Q: What exactly is an Eisenhower Fellowship? A: The <a href="https://www.efworld.org/fellowship-programs/usa-programs/">Eisenhower Fellowship USA Program</a> sends 10–12 outstanding mid-career American leaders abroad each year. Over four to five weeks, Fellows travel to one or two countries to meet with leaders and experts in their fields. The program, which combines in-person and virtual components, helps participants design a project, build lasting professional relationships, and launch collaborations with their international counterparts, their cohort, and EF’s global network of more than 1,600 active Fellows across six continents.Eisenhower Fellowships <a href="https://www.efworld.org/about-us/a-distinguished-history/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">started in 1953 as a birthday gift to President Dwight D. Eisenhower</a>. Today, it connects leaders from 115 countries and has supported more than 2,600 people across the globe who’ve gone on to make a difference in their communities and professions.Q: Is this fellowship being paid for by City of St. Louis taxpayer dollars? A: No. Eisenhower Fellowships is a nonprofit organization <a href="https://www.efworld.org/about-us/finance-and-operations/">funded almost entirely through private contributions and an endowment</a>. A small portion of its budget—less than five percent—comes from interest on a federal trust fund created by Congress in 1990 to honor President Eisenhower’s 100th birthday.Q: Why was Alderwoman Velázquez selected? A: She was chosen for her leadership in government, her commitment to community trust, and her innovative approach to transparency and civic engagement. This is national recognition of the work being done right here in our ward and city, as well as a chance to make it even stronger.Fun Fact: Two of the nine people selected nationwide for the 2025 U.S. Eisenhower Fellowship are from St. Louis, and both live in the 6th Ward! That includes Shaw’s very own <a href="https://www.archpark.org/foundation/staff" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Ryan McClure, Executive Director of the Gateway Arch Park Foundation</a>. Together, both fellows are representing the best of our city and will bring new ideas home to serve our community.Q: Why does St. Louis have such big representation? A: Through its partnership with Washington University’s McDonnell International Scholars Academy starting in 2007, the region has served as a hub for Eisenhower Fellows, sending <a href="https://www.efworld.org/meet-the-fellows/fellows-directory/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">20+ leaders abroad</a>—including CEOs, university presidents, and nonprofit executives.Q: What will she be doing while she’s away? A: During her fellowship time in Germany and Colombia, she will meet with government and civic leaders to study policies and ideas that have worked elsewhere and identify open government practices that can be implemented in St. Louis.Q: Will she still be representing us during this time? A: Absolutely. She’s using this fellowship to bring back new tools and ideas to benefit our neighborhoods. Her office is fully staffed and operating, and all services and advocacy for the ward continue while she’s abroad.Q: What happens when she comes back? A: She will produce a roadmap for how the City of St. Louis can create a successful application to OGP Local. She will also host a town hall in January 2026 to brief the ward and community on her learnings.

FAQs

<h2>Ward Capital Reports</h2>In the interest of transparency and public trust, we are publishing the most recent quarterly 6th Ward capital report on this website — something that, to date, is not available anywhere on the City of St. Louis website. This is the same document the alderperson receives from the <a href="https://www.stlouis-mo.gov/government/departments/public-service/index.cfm" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Board of Public Service (BPS)</a>.Currently, the city does not provide public, ward-level capital spending reports — quarterly or annually — for any alderperson. This lack of access makes it difficult for residents to understand how infrastructure dollars are being spent in their neighborhoods and hinders meaningful, informed conversations about local needs.We’re changing that.To make this process more transparent and to support better dialogue with the community, we’ll be sharing the 6th Ward’s most recent capital reports on this page.📄<a href="/ward-6-q4-2025.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"> October - December 2025</a> (PDF)
