A bipartisan coalition of four members of the St. Louis County Council are calling a special meeting of the council today to elect a new chair and vice chair for 2021 something the three other members say has already been done.
The special videoconferenced council meeting is set for 4:30 p.m. Friday, Jan. 15. To join the meeting via computer, use this link:

Under a change voters made to the county Charter in 2019, new council members and the county executive are no longer sworn in Jan. 1, as had been the custom for decades. Instead of holding the inauguration on a holiday, the council and the county executive are sworn in on the second Tuesday of the year.
