ALTON - Alton City Council members denied two requests for additional ARPA funds from the city’s Police and Fire Departments at their meeting on Wednesday, May 24. The Police Department was seeking $27,970.33 to purchase 15 Bola Wrap devices, while the Fire Department was seeking $47,481.87 for two new motors for their rescue boat as well as repairs to Fire Station #2. Both requests failed to receive approval from the Committee of the Whole at their meeting on Monday, May 22 - at that meeting, the Fire Department’s request was unanimously shot down with “no” votes from each council member. The Bola Wraps request never received a motion and failed without a vote. Since both items “failed in committee,” the City Council took no further action on them, effectively denying both requests. A full recording of the May 24 meeting is available at the top of this story or on the Riverbender.com Facebook page .

An ownership dispute that put the future of the Fabulous Fox Theatre in question has been settled. Today, Fox Associates LLC and Foxland Inc. announced that they reached a settlement over the question of which group is the owner and operator of the theatre, a question that has been entangled in a lawsuit since 2021.  Fox Associates, which purchased the theater in 1981 and then renovated it, inherited a lease to the theater's lot that is set to expire in 2025, as the Post-Dispatch reported. Fox Associates, which owns the land, wanted to assume the operations of the theater when that lease expired.

The City of St. Louis wants to hear from the people most affected by the Workhouse as elected leaders try to figure out what to do with the now-shuttered jail and the land it sits on.  While it was open, the conditions at the Medium Security Institution — better known as the Workhouse — were called "hellish" by the activists trying to close it. In 2017, the ArchCity Defenders filed a class action lawsuit on behalf of those who had been detained there, the vast majority of whom were locked up because they lacked the money to post bond.
