 RESOLUTION NUMBER 266
 OPPOSING MISSOURI SENATE BILL 1586 AND SUPPORTING THE CONTINUED LOCAL
 ADMINISTRATION OF SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT DISTRICTS

WHEREAS, the City of St. Louis has long supported policies and programs that reduce landfill waste, promote
recycling, and create sustainable jobs that improve the environmental health and quality of life of its residents;
and

WHEREAS, Missouri currently administers solid waste reduction, recycling, reuse, and composting initiatives
through 20 regional Solid Waste Management Districts that foster collaboration among cities, counties,
nonprofits, and businesses to address waste management challenges at the local level; and

WHEREAS, these districts administer grants that support waste diversion programs, recycling infrastructure,
public education, and community-based environmental initiatives; and

WHEREAS, for example, in fiscal year 2025, Solid Waste Districts put $5,726,359 back into the local
community through grant awards for waste reduction projects; and

WHEREAS, Missouri Senate Bill 1586 proposes to dissolve the State's Solid Waste Management Districts
starting on August 28, 2026 and transfer their responsibilities and resources to the Missouri Department of
Natural Resources; and

WHEREAS, the elimination of local district governance would remove the ability of local communities to
directly participate in decisions regarding recycling and waste reduction programs that affect their
neighborhoods; and

WHEREAS, the current regional district system has been successful in supporting effective waste diversion
and environmental programs, including initiatives led by local nonprofit partners such as Earthday365, which in
2025 alone diverted approximately 13.7 million pounds of waste from landfills, as well as programs led by the
Green Dining Alliance that assist restaurants in reducing food waste; and



Page 4 of 37
WHEREAS, dissolving these districts would pose a risk to the grants and resources that support local
recycling, reuse, repair, and composting initiatives, as well as the local green jobs and community partnerships
that depend on this funding; and

WHEREAS, the landfill “tipping fees” generated by waste disposal in the St. Louis region are intended to
support waste diversion and environmental improvements within the communities that generate those funds,
and centralizing these revenues under state control could divert resources away from the successful local
programs that currently rely on them; and

WHEREAS, effective waste management policies benefit from local knowledge, community engagement, and
regional coordination, and preserving local oversight allows communities to design programs that respond to
their specific environmental challenges and priorities, rather than relying on centralized statewide decision-
making.

NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, by this Honorable Board of Aldermen of the City of St. Louis that
we hereby express our opposition to Missouri Senate Bill 1586 and any legislation that would dissolve
Missouri’s Solid Waste Management Districts or remove local oversight of waste reduction and recycling
programs and that the Board of Aldermen urges the Missouri General Assembly to preserve the existing district-
based framework for waste diversion and recycling and to work collaboratively with local governments,
regional districts, and community organizations to strengthen Missouri’s waste reduction infrastructure, not
dismantle it. We further direct the Clerk of this Board of Aldermen to spread a copy of this Resolution across
the minutes of these proceedings and to prepare a commemorative copy of this resolution to the end that it may
be presented by the Sponsor and transmitted to members of the Missouri Senate Committee on Agriculture,
Food Production and Outdoor Resources and to others as she sees fit.

Introduced this 13th Day of March 2026 by:

WHEREAS, President Megan Green plans to establish Friday, March 13, 2026 as the last day to introduce
Board Bills for the St. Louis Board of Aldermen’s 2025-2026 Legislative Session; and

WHEREAS, President Megan Green sponsored and received unanimous approval on Tuesday, April 15, 2025
for Resolution Number 5 which established Friday, February 13, 2026 as the last day to introduce Board Bills
for the St. Louis Board of Aldermen’s 2025-2026 Legislative Session; and

WHEREAS, in accordance to Board Rule Number 60 the setting of Friday, March 13, 2026 as the last day to

Cosponsored by:

 RESOLUTION NUMBER 266
 OPPOSING MISSOURI SENATE BILL 1586 AND SUPPORTING THE CONTINUED LOCAL
 ADMINISTRATION OF SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT DISTRICTS

WHEREAS, the City of St. Louis has long supported policies and programs that reduce landfill waste, promote
recycling, and create sustainable jobs that improve the environmental health and quality of life of its residents;
and

WHEREAS, Missouri currently administers solid waste reduction, recycling, reuse, and composting initiatives
through 20 regional Solid Waste Management Districts that foster collaboration among cities, counties,
nonprofits, and businesses to address waste management challenges at the local level; and


Page 27 of 37
WHEREAS, these districts administer grants that support waste diversion programs, recycling infrastructure,
public education, and community-based environmental initiatives; and

WHEREAS, for example, in fiscal year 2025, Solid Waste Districts put $5,726,359 back into the local
community through grant awards for waste reduction projects; and

WHEREAS, Missouri Senate Bill 1586 proposes to dissolve the State's Solid Waste Management Districts
starting on August 28, 2026 and transfer their responsibilities and resources to the Missouri Department of
Natural Resources; and

WHEREAS, the elimination of local district governance would remove the ability of local communities to
directly participate in decisions regarding recycling and waste reduction programs that affect their
neighborhoods; and

WHEREAS, the current regional district system has been successful in supporting effective waste diversion
and environmental programs, including initiatives led by local nonprofit partners such as Earthday365, which in
2025 alone diverted approximately 13.7 million pounds of waste from landfills, as well as programs led by the
Green Dining Alliance that assist restaurants in reducing food waste; and

WHEREAS, dissolving these districts would pose a risk to the grants and resources that support local
recycling, reuse, repair, and composting initiatives, as well as the local green jobs and community partnerships
that depend on this funding; and

WHEREAS, the landfill “tipping fees” generated by waste disposal in the St. Louis region are intended to
support waste diversion and environmental improvements within the communities that generate those funds,
and centralizing these revenues under state control could divert resources away from the successful local
programs that currently rely on them; and

WHEREAS, effective waste management policies benefit from local knowledge, community engagement, and
regional coordination, and preserving local oversight allows communities to design programs that respond to
their specific environmental challenges and priorities, rather than relying on centralized statewide decision-
making.

NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, by this Honorable Board of Aldermen of the City of St. Louis that
we hereby express our opposition to Missouri Senate Bill 1586 and any legislation that would dissolve
Missouri’s Solid Waste Management Districts or remove local oversight of waste reduction and recycling
programs and that the Board of Aldermen urges the Missouri General Assembly to preserve the existing district-
based framework for waste diversion and recycling and to work collaboratively with local governments,
regional districts, and community organizations to strengthen Missouri’s waste reduction infrastructure, not
dismantle it. We further direct the Clerk of this Board of Aldermen to spread a copy of this Resolution across
the minutes of these proceedings and to prepare a commemorative copy of this resolution to the end that it may
be presented by the Sponsor and transmitted to members of the Missouri Senate Committee on Agriculture,
Food Production and Outdoor Resources and to others as she sees fit.

Introduced this 13th Day of March 2026 by:
The Honorable Anne Schweitzer, Alderwoman of the 1st Ward

The Honorable Megan Green, President of the Board of Aldermen

23. Second Reading of Resolutions, Committee Reports and Adoptions
 President Green directed the Associate Clerk to the Second Reading of Resolutions, Committee Reports
 and Adoptions

 The Associate Clerk Read the following:

 RESOLUTION 258 AS AMENDED
 OPPOSING MISSOURI HOUSE BILL 3066/SENATE BILL 1657AND THE RECENT
 UNACCOUNTABLE ACTIONS OF THE POLICE BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS

WHEREAS, the St. Louis Board of Police Commissioners (“Police Board”), a body where 4 of the 5 members
are appointed by the Governor, has demonstrated a pattern of reckless fiscal behavior that threatens the financial
stability of the City we all want to see thrive; and

WHEREAS, in February 2026, the Police Board submitted a proposed budget for that exceeded the State’s
mandated amount by $72 million; and

WHEREAS, this proposed budget included a near-doubling of officer salary, which accounts for an increase of
more than $30 million, which was submitted to the Mayor's office with less than a day’s notice before the Board
voted to certify it. This denies the Mayor, who is the only member of the Board who represents the voters of the
City, from providing a meaningful opportunity to review, analyze, or respond to its contents; and

WHEREAS, the City of St. Louis strongly supports its police officers and believes they deserve competitive
salaries and the respect and investment that the essential nature of their work demands, which is why the City
has been pouring a significant amount of resources into them; and

WHEREAS, The Police Board's approach does not represent a good-faith effort to lift up officers given that it
more closely represents a power grab that bypasses the elected officials, the taxpayers, and the community
partnerships necessary to make any raise sustainable and lasting; and

WHEREAS, St. Louis will never be made safer by a Police Board that operates as though the rest of City
government does not exist; and

WHEREAS, Public safety is not achieved in isolation, but through streets that are maintained and give the
residents pride in living there, youth who have opportunities to thrive instead of opportunities to get into
trouble, families that are housed in buildings that are dignifying, and communities that are wholly invested in;
and

WHEREAS, as it stands now, every dollar the Board seeks to take beyond what the City has budgeted, and
what the State has mandated, is a dollar taken from the holistic approach to what makes us safe; and

WHEREAS, Mayor Cara Spencer has stated that the Police Board's proposed budget would force massive
layoffs across Streets, Refuse, and every other City department. The Police Board's fiscal recklessness threatens
the livelihoods of thousands of City employees and the services that residents depend on; and



Page 29 of 37
WHEREAS, on January 21st, 2026 Missouri State Representative Brad Christ, who does not represent anyone
who lives in the City of St. Louis, filed House Bill 3066 (“HB 3066”), which would remove all ability for the
municipally ran Board of Estimate and Apportionment to deny line-item transfers for the Board, as well as
transfer litigation cost for police misconduct from the State to the City; and

WHEREAS, on February 10, 2026, Missouri State Senator Travis Fitzwater filed Senate Bill 1657 (“SB
1657”), which is identical to HB 3066; and

WHEREAS, HB 3066 and SB 1657 would dramatically accelerate and entrench the City’s problems by
allowing the Police Board to hide tens of millions of dollars from the City’s budget while also stripping the
Board of Estimate and Apportionment of its authority to approve transfers within the police budget, eliminating
a critical check on how public dollars are spent once appropriated; and

WHEREAS, If HB 3066 or SB 1657 becomes law, the liability for police-related lawsuits, settlements, and
judgments would be transferred to the City of St. Louis, meaning St. Louis taxpayers would bear the full
financial risk of police conduct while simultaneously being denied full visibility into the true cost of the
department they are funding; and

WHEREAS, HB 3066 and SB 1657 would grant the Police Board the unilateral authority to move money
between budget classifications without seeking approval from any elected or appointed oversight body, a power
granted to no other City department; and

WHEREAS, the City has been working for several months in good faith with the Missouri Attorney General’s
Office on a Memorandum of Understanding to resolve the important legal issues of representation, liability,
payment, settlement authority, and other key issues, making these pieces of legislation both unnecessary and
potentially counter to this collaborative effort that all parties believe is close to being resolved; and

WHEREAS, the City of St. Louis faces profound and layered public safety challenges that cannot be solved by
budget increases alone, they require violence prevention, behavioral health response, trauma-informed services,
neighborhood investment, and the kind of trust between residents and officers that is built through community
engagement and accountability, not state mandates by an unaccountable Police Board. HB 3066 and SB 1657
make every one of these proven solutions harder by constraining the City's fiscal flexibility and concentrating
decision-making power in a board that answers to Jefferson City rather than to the people of St. Louis.

NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of Aldermen of the City of St. Louis that we pause in
our deliberations to oppose Missouri HB 3066 and SB 1657; and

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that this Board calls on the Police Board of Commissioners to immediately
return to the table in good faith partners in order to develop a police budget that honors our officers, respects
our residents, and reflects the realities of a city that must invest in all of its residents; and

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, The Board of Aldermen urges the City Counselor, on behalf of the City, to
file for a declaratory judgment in a court of competent jurisdiction to obtain judicial clarification regarding the
calculation of the percentage of the City’s General Revenue Fund required to be appropriated to the St. Louis
Metropolitan Police Department pursuant to state law. Such action shall petition the court to determine the
methodology and dollar amount constituting the required appropriation from the City’s General Revenue Fund,
including the statutory requirement that funding shall be no less than twenty-five percent (25%) by Fiscal Year
2028”

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that we further direct the Clerk of this Board of Aldermen to spread a copy of
this Resolution across the minutes of these proceedings and to prepare a commemorative copy of this resolution
to the members of the Missouri House Committee on Crime and Public Safety, the Missouri Senate Committee
on Transportation, Infrastructure and Public Safety, and to others as she sees fit.

 RESOLTUION 261
 HONORING ROBERT ANTHONY DOBYNES

WHEREAS, Robert Anthony Dobynes Sr. "Bobby" was born to the union of Leo and Ella Mae Dobynes on
July 5, 1955 in St. Louis, Missouri. Robert was the seventh of nine children. Growing up in such a large family
taught him FAMILY FIRST and to love and look out for one another; and

WHEREAS, Robert loved learning and was a real mathematician. During Career Day in his sophomore year,
he was introduced to the field of Optical Sciences which sparked a flame inside of him from that day forward.
He graduated from Beaumont High School in 1974. Upon graduating, he took courses at Kennedy King
Community College in Chicago, IL. and later finished his Associate’s Degree in Ophthalmic Dispensing via St.
Louis Community College-Meramec; and

WHEREAS, at the age of 18, he met the love of his life, Sandra Denise. He said, “I knew he liked her because
of the way she carried her school books in her arms." They were united in holy matrimony on December 3,
1977 at Galilee. Their first "prized package," Robert Anthony Dobynes Jr. "Bobby J" was born December 1978.
Then their first daughter, Camille LaShawn in September 1982 and finally Angie & Brandie in November 1985.
They worked hard to provide a great life for their growing family; and

WHEREAS, Robert was an ambitious man and perfected his skills as an optician and supervisor working at
Cole National Optical Lab in Iowa and Texas. In the midst of it all, that small flame continued to grow. What
started as a dream became a reality and out of necessity and pure hustle, Robert and Sandra moved their family
back to St. Louis and the Eye Fashion Factory was established in 1984. Now forty-two years later, the legacy of
the Eye Fashion Factory continues with the second-generation ownership, Robert Dobynes Jr.; and
WHEREAS, Robert was a faithful member of Galilee Missionary Baptist Church serving as a deacon and
sharing his love of cooking as part of the kitchen ministry. He also enjoyed BBQ cookouts and spending time
with his big Dobynes family! He lived to make others laugh and enjoyed being the life of the party. Robert
enjoyed sharing stories and pouring into his children, grandchildren, nieces, and nephews. He always raved
about his family and was extremely proud to be a husband, father, and grandfather.

NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, by this Honorable Board of Aldermen of the City of St. Louis, that
we pause in our deliberations to recognize and honor the life, legacy, and outstanding accomplishments of
Robert Anthony Dobynes, Sr. and by adoption of this Resolution send our condolences to his family and join in
with those celebrating his life. We further direct the Clerk of this Board to spread a copy of this Resolution
across the minutes of these proceedings and to prepare a commemorative copy to the end that it may be

 RESOLUTION NUMBER 263
 HONORING THE LIFE OF EARL SMITH SR.

WHEREAS, Earl was born in Detroit, Michigan to the union of George Washington Smith and Ora Belle
Smith. He was the fifth of nine children. On March 1, 2026, Earl transitioned peacefully while surrounded by
the love of his family; and

WHEREAS, Earl attended the Detroit Public School System, where he was known as an intelligent and
thoughtful young man. Those early years helped shape the man he would become—someone who valued
family, loyalty, and hard work above all else; and
Page 34 of 37
WHEREAS, In time, Earl met and married the love of his life, Jessica Smith, and together they built a life
centered on love and devotion. From this union, five children were born, and Earl took great pride in being a
father. His family was truly the center of his world. As his family grew, so did his joy. Earl especially loved
spending time with his grandchildren and great-grandchildren, always ready to give them plenty of his famous
“Zoom Zooms, Wham Whams, and his famous gadgets;” and

WHEREAS, he was known to many of his friends as “Bird,” Earl was a private man with a generous spirit.
While he valued his quiet nature, he never hesitated to make himself available when family or friends needed
him. Earl loved music, singing, and dancing, and whenever he had a microphone in his hand, the world became
his stage and everyone around became his background singers; and

WHEREAS, Earl did whatever was necessary to provide for and support his family. He was also a true
gentleman who held his wife in the highest regard and never hesitated to say that he worshipped the ground she
walked on. Jessica, in turn, took great pride in caring for Earl and remained faithfully beside him every step of
the way. Though small in stature, Earl had a mighty presence, and people in both Detroit and St. Louis knew
that he was not someone to be taken lightly; and

WHEREAS, Earl was a man of his word. No matter the circumstance, he showed up. He showed up for his
daughters, he showed up for his sons, he showed up for his siblings, and he showed up for his family and
friends. Most importantly, in 1983 he showed up in St. Louis for Jessica—and that is where their beautiful love
story truly began. They were married in 1984 and never looked back; and

WHEREAS, Earl is the man, the myth, the legend and will truly be missed. He will forever be the hero for his
family. Earl leaves to cherish his memory his wife Jessica, two daughters Carolyn “Candi” Smith (Les) and
Eboni Smith (Terry). Three sons, Earl “Chip” Smith Jr. (LaTasha), Jeremy Smith (Latia), and Jermaine Smith.
Eleven grandchildren Kirk, Jamel (Jennifer), Derron, Briana, Elijah, Alayhna, O’Rian, Ethan, Jermery Jr, Ian,
Trinity and one great-grand daughter Leah. He also leaves behind a host of siblings, nieces, nephews, great
nephews and a host of friends.

NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of Aldermen of the City of St. Louis that we pause in
our deliberations to honor the life of Earl Smith Senior. We further direct the Clerk of this Board of Aldermen
to spread a copy of this Resolution across the minutes of these proceedings and to prepare a commemorative
copy of this resolution to the end that it may be presented to those deemed appropriate by the sponsor.
