Lambi's legal fees to date are $6,671.25.
Mayor Paul Lambi has asked that an agenda item be added to tonight's Board of Aldermen meeting concerning his legal fees in a city investigation into a $15,000 check that may have constituted a conflict of interest. Lambi is requesting $6,671.25 in reimbursement. In a March 30 memo to Interim City Administrator Dennis Walsh, Lambi said that the city has already paid $41,448.71 to special council Tom Lorain. "Do you really want to send the message to City Department Heads and employees that they can use the city treasury to neutralize the Mayor if they curry enough favor of the board by simply making allegations," Lambi wrote. On March 16, Wentzville Patch posted a story about Alderman Nick Guccione's allegations that the investigation was …

Nick Guccione defeated Leon Tow by less than 250 votes in Tuesday's election.
Nick Guccione will be the next mayor of Wentzville. Shortly after receiving a concession from mayoral candidate Leon Tow, final results from the St. Charles County Election Authority showed that Guccione had won by 248 votes. The voting went as follows: "He ran a very effective race," Tow told campaign workers at a gathering at Wentzville's UnKorked Wine Bar. Tow said the really good news is that Rick Stokes (Ward 2), Forrest Gossett (Ward 1) and Sonya Shryock (Ward 3) all won their races. Shryock reportedly won her race by six votes over Jeremy Pritchett in Ward 3. Gossett said he had heard he won by 15 votes over Jay Webber for Ward 1. "I'm deeply gratified. My opponent ran an honorable race as did I. It was about the issues. I'm …

Alderman Leon Tow said Wentzville aldermen were obligated to investigate an employee complaint and the investigation turned up information that's not been publicly released.
Ward 3 Alderman Nick Guccione said a group of aldermen are plotting to get Wentzville Mayor Paul Lambi to resign so that Ward 1 Alderman, and mayoral candidate, Leon Tow would assume the role of mayor before the April 3 election. If the mayor resigns, Tow, as president of the city's board of aldermen, would replace him. Tow said the board was obligated to do what it did. “There was a complaint by an employee and there was an investigation into that complaint,” Tow said. “We almost have to investigate an employee complaint. You can’t sweep that under the rug. Any government or any company would have to investigate something like that.” Lambi said the report was from "a disgruntled employee who was upset and made allegations. Basically they …

Approve recommended team after vetting the city's selection process.
After delaying a vote for two weeks in order to get more information on the process used to recommend a design firm, the Wentzville Board of Aldermen approved the selection of Planning Design Studio. Planning Design Studio along with its partners JACOBS and Water's Edge will handle the planning and construction of the city's three new facilities. Board members questioned the methods used by the selection committee to come to their decision. Alderman Leon Tow voiced concern with how the Request for Qualifications was worded.
