The Board of Aldermen, is the municipal legislature of the independent City of St. Louis, Missouri.
Contents |
[edit] Composition
It consists of 28 aldermen from each of the city's wards. The President of the Board is elected separately by a city-wide ballot.
Just like the mayor, the aldermen representing odd-numbered wards are elected in odd numbered years following the United States Presidential Election, while the President of the Board and the aldermen from even-numbered wards are elected in the off-years.
[edit] Powers
By custom and tradition the individual aldermen have a great deal of influence over decisions impacting the ward they represent on matters ranging from zoning changes, to street resurfacing.
