New Creve Coeur City Council Sworn Into Office

Scott Saunders and Charlotte D'Alfonso won seats on council earlier this month.

A new-look Creve Coeur City Council was seated Monday night, following elections earlier this month. Ward 3 Councilwoman Charlotte D'Alfonso and Ward 4's Scott Saunders are the new faces to the council.

What You Can Expect From Creve Coeur Patch The Week Of April 11, 2011

Brad Beal, Post-election impact and Passover are all part of what's ahead this week.

There's a lot to look forward to this week at Creve Coeur Patch. Our goal here is to peel back the curtain just a bit and to give you something of a roadmap. With last week's municipal elections now in the rear mirror, we'll be out covering new school boards in the Parkway and Pattonville school districts. The new board for Ladue schools could make a decision Monday about the direction the district will take with the Westminster Christian Academy campus in Creve Coeur.

Creve Coeur City Council Election Preview: Ward Three

Incumbent Robert Haddenhorst faces Charlotte D'Alfonso in the race for a two year term serving Ward Three

Voters in Creve Coeur's Third Ward have two races to consider April 5. Robert Hoffman is running to complete the one year unexpired term following his appointment last fall in the wake of David Kassander's resignation. He is not running for the two year term also on the ballot. In that race, incumbent Robert Haddenhorst, seeking a final term before term limits force him from office, faces Charlotte D'Alsfonso. D'Alfonso had popular support from residents to fill Kassander's seat but was not nominated for the position and therefore was not appointed. Creve Coeur Patch talked to both candidates about what they feel is the biggest issue facing their ward, along with the future of Transportation Development Districts and downtown development. …
