Collinsville City Council considers sidewalk dining rules, $2.4M in payments; upcoming meetings on sports complex, beautification

In the past two weeks, the Collinsville City Council met only once, on June 23, but the meeting’s agenda included a proposed ordinance on pedestrian barriers for sidewalk dining and nearly $2.4 million in combined bills and payroll. No minutes have been published yet, so no final votes are known. Next week, both the Parks and Recreation Commission and the Community Appearance Board are scheduled to meet to discuss a sports complex and beautification projects.

Recent meetings

City Council (June 23)

The council considered an ordinance that would amend Title 17 of the city’s zoning code to regulate pedestrian barriers in sidewalk dining areas. A separate ordinance to adopt provisions for Project Labor Agreements in city contracts was also on the agenda, along with a measure that would allow council members to attend meetings electronically.

Financial items included approval of bills totaling $1,373,547.47 and payroll of $1,030,338.71. The council also reviewed a resolution appropriating $23,796.20 from the Motor Fuel Tax fund to install trench grates as part of the Streetscape IV project. Additionally, the council discussed the results of the 2026 National Community Survey and budget amendments. The meeting was scheduled to enter closed session for personnel, real estate, and litigation matters.

Because meeting minutes have not yet been published, it is not known which items were approved, amended, or tabled.

Coming up

Parks and Recreation Commission (July 7)

The commission will meet to discuss development of a sports complex. The only other listed item is approval of minutes from the May 5 meeting.

Community Appearance Board (July 8)

The board will review progress on several 2026 landscaping and maintenance projects, including work at Beltline/Highway 159, West Main/Westmoreland, and St. Louis Road/Caseyville Islands. Maintenance updates for Listemann Park, Uptown Area, and Century Oak are also on the agenda. Members will amend the board’s bylaws and conduct scoring and site visits for the annual Yard of the Month contest. The meeting includes standard procedural items such as approving minutes and hearing public comments.

Both meetings are open to the public. Agendas and minutes are available on the city’s website.
