Missouri American Water will construct a new, larger water tower on Sappington Barracks Road in Sunset Hills after Mayor Pat Fribis broke a tie for a conditional-use permit over fears of a lawsuit, despite the objections of neighbors.
The new larger tower will help provide water for South County south of Interstate 44 to the River des Peres and northwest of Interstate 55.
Fribis broke the tie for the tower after the Board of Aldermen deadlocked 4-4 in a special meeting Jan. 26. Ward 1 Aldermen Ann McMunn and Joe Stewart, Ward 3 Alderman Cathy Friedmann and Ward 2 Alderman Casey Wong voted against the CUP, while Ward 2 Alderman Steve Bersche, Ward 3 Alderman Nathan Lipe and Ward 4 Aldermen Thompson Price and Mark Colombo voted for it. Fribis called for the meeting after aldermen rejected the CUP in a 4-3 vote earlier this month.

The board will review a conditional-use permit for Missouri American Water to replace a water tower on Sappington Barracks Road. The call for the special meeting comes after the aldermen rejected the CUP for Missouri American Water 4-3 at the petition’s second reading at the Jan. 12 regular meeting. Ward 1 Aldermen Ann McMunn and Joe Stewart, Ward 2 Alderman Casey Wong and Ward 3 Alderman Cathy Friedmann voted against the measure, while Ward 2 Alderman Steve Bersche and Ward 4 Aldermen Thompson Price and Mark Colombo were in favor. Ward 3 Alderman Nathan Lipe was absent.
Because Missouri American Water is a public entity, the city is limited in its ability to reject its permits, as long as the developments would not be harmful to residents or the city.

CHARLESTON West Virginia Attorney General Patrick Morrisey announced Wednesday he has taken enforcement action against Hawkins Construction of Monongalia County and two other contractors whose alleged conduct violates various facets of West Virginia’s consumer protection laws.
“Consumers trust and the law requires contractors to do professional work,” Morrisey said. “Contractors who defraud consumers and violate our state’s consumer protection laws must be held accountable. These enforcement actions demonstrate how our office will vigorously pursue con artists at every step in the process.”
The state filed suit against Hawkins Construction and its owners in late December. The lawsuit alleges the company performed substandard roofing work for a Morgantown consumer and failed to make repairs or refund the consumer’s money.
On many occasions I’ve been asked about how we might go about finding files on issues like the Roswell incident of July 1947, the JFK assassination, mind-control and so on. I should stress that a lot of material on JFK’s murder
has been placed into the public domain. And the same applies to mind-control too. As for Roswell, well, we’ll come to that later in this article. There are, however, some files that will almost certainly
never surface. The main reason? They have been destroyed. Indeed, while the provisions of the Freedom of Information Acts of many nations have proved to be very useful, if the material that one might be looking for has been shredded or burned, there’s not much that can be done. If at all. And, with that said, let’s take a look at some perfect examples of how certain secrets will almost certainly stay that way forever. We’ll begin with the CIA’s “mind-control” programs, the most well-known being MK-Ultra, much of which involved the exper
One of the most contentious bills passed by the Sunset Hills Board of Aldermen this year instituted a code of ethics that applies to all elected and appointed officials, and uses the board itself as the judging panel when an ethics complaint is filed.
The code passed 5-3 in January, with Ward 3 Aldermen Kurt Krueger and Nathan Lipe, Ward 4 Aldermen Thompson Price and Mark Colombo and Ward 2 Alderman Steve Bersche voting in favor, and Ward 2 Alderman Casey Wong and Ward 1 Aldermen Ann McMunn and Dee Baebler opposed. Krueger lost a bid for re-election in June, and Baebler resigned when she moved out of the city in September.
