The Olive-Graeser Transportation Development District had sought roughly $30,000 over the summer.
Almost three months after city council members rebuffed a request by the Olive-Graeser Transportation Development District (TDD) for money to help pay off outstanding legal and administrative costs, members of the board have formally approved measures which together will cut down on costs. In a meeting held Tuesday afternoon at the Creve Coeur Government Center, members approved the changes, which include extending out the payment period to the Board's legal counsel, naming Creve Coeur Finance Director Dan Smith as the TDD's treasurer, and reducing insurance costs for board members. The board's main responsibility, overseeing a reconstructed intersection at Olive Boulevard and Graeser Rd. with a traffic signal at the site of the new …

The Transportation Development District says some of its bills haven't been paid since August of 2011.
Monday night, city staff will formally discuss Creve Coeur's decision not to grant a one-time payment of some $30,000 to the Olive-Graeser Transportation Development District to help cover administrative costs. The TDD was established to help fund improvements to the intersection at Olive Boulevard and Graeser Road, through additional sales tax revenues. Work to re-align the intersection with a traffic light and a new Walgreens on the site wrapped up early last summer. Even though the construction element is complete, the board must stay in business to manage the collection of sales tax revenues. The TDD agreement included an annual cap on administrative expenses starting at $15,000 with modest increases over time. In July, the TDD asked …

New tenant comes roughly a year after a controversial proposal that would have led to a Chick-fil-A franchise failed.
After sitting vacant for more than a year, the former Walgreens pharmacy, which closed when a new one opened next door last spring, will be getting a new tenant before the end of the year. According to Peter Sheahan with Nai Desco, the commercial realtor for the property, a deal for a Red Racks Thrift Store came together within the last month. Red Racks proceeds benefit Disabled American Veterans. Sheahan said some work needs to be done on the building but that the store could open by the end of 2012. The Creve Coeur location is already being highlighted on Red Racks' website. In St. Louis, Creve Coeur would join a new location in Ballwin on Manchester Road and a store already open in Affton. The property was the subject of residential …

A drug agent had a meth lab blow up in his face and said it can happen to a curious child just as easily. He tells Patch criminals are coming to St. Louis County to buy pseudoephedrine and that means meth is being made here, too.
Sgt. Jason Grellner, of the Franklin County Sheriff's Department, has been busting meth labs since 1997, but all that experience did not prevent a "shake and bake" meth lab from exploding in his face. "I'm missing 27 percent of my lungs," said Grellner, who is also president of the Missouri Narcotics Association. "I lost 27 percent of my lung capacity in 2002. I opened a container sitting in a driveway." If that can happen to an experienced drug agent, it can happen to any curious child who stumbles upon a plastic bottle or an adult who is picking up what is thought to simply be trash, said Grellner, who is the unit commander of the Franklin County Narcotics Unit, which works in conjunction with the St. Louis County Drug Task Force. This …
