Ferguson City Council takes up FY2026–2027 budget; Civilian Review Board election set

Ferguson’s City Council convened June 23 to consider adopting the city’s fiscal year 2026–2027 budget and a five-year capital improvement program. Official minutes are not yet published, leaving the outcomes of those votes unknown. The council’s agenda also included an amendment to the inmate housing contract with the St. Louis County Justice Center, first reading of an ordinance to transfer city properties for development or beautification, and second readings of salary ordinances for part-time parks workers and all city officers.

The same evening, the council entered a closed session under Missouri law to discuss personnel matters. No public votes resulted from that portion of the meeting.

Business district board approves past minutes

In the only meeting with published minutes during the period, the Ferguson Special Business District Advisory Board met July 1. Its sole recorded action was unanimous approval of minutes from its March 25 meeting. Discussion items included the district’s budget, website development, Juneteenth programming, and business engagement, but no substantive decisions were made.

Coming up

The Civilian Review Board will meet July 6. Members plan to elect new FCRB officers and will review police panel attendance and hiring, the status of complaint and use-of-force reviews, and preparations for an August 18 quarterly meeting with Police Chief Doyle.
