The finance committee Monday recommended council approve the proposal.
Officials with Steadfast City of St. Louis, the firm hired to redesign the landmark downtown structure, are proposing a $34.5 million project that includes apartments with offices along with a bowling alley, bar and malt shop in the basement.
The request for proposals will be finalized shortly, said Nikki Posterli, director of community planning and economic development and the mayor’s chief of staff.
Councilwoman Anita Davis, D-6th Ward, asked if an outline of the request would be given to council. Posterli said it will be once it is finished.
The search is supposed to begin April 1 with a developer selected by mid-October, said Doug Rasmussen, Steadfast’s president.

YOUNGSTOWN An East Palestine man is jailed in connection with more than a dozen religious statues vandalized at the Basilica of Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church, in what Diocese of Youngstown Bishop David Bonnar described as a senseless act.
Police on Friday afternoon arrested the 20-year-old in connection with a felony count of vandalism for the early morning incident.
After the damage was reported, two patrol officers recalled dealing Thursday morning with a suspicious man in two car break-ins on East Commerce Street, a short distance from the church, said Capt. Rod Foley, chief of detectives. That man was given two misdemeanor summons for taking items including glasses, face masks, a hat and a phone charger out of parked cars and was arraigned Friday, Foley said.
