Some aldermen would like to see a public application process for empty seats that are filled by the mayor's appointment.
It didn't take long for Wentzville's new mayor and board of aldermen to find something to disagree about. Just minutes after newly elected Mayor Nick Guccione and the Wentzville Board of Aldermen were sworn in, the board got quickly down to business at Wednesay night's meeting. Ward 5 Alderman Rick Stokes was unanimously elected board president, the board passed a consent agenda and Guccione made committee appointments.

The seat needs to be filled as soon as possible, Guccione said, and he'd like to talk to the board before presenting …

Mayor Lambi says, "I have nothing to hide, so I'm not hiding."
The Wentzville Board of Aldermen released minutes from three executive session meetings regarding a conflict of interest investigation on Mayor Paul Lambi. City Attorney Paul Rost redacted the minutes, and the released minutes were approved by the aldermen following a late-night executive session Wednesday. But the minutes as redacted by Rost give little information if any, regarding the reason for an investigation into a check from the city to Westplex Local Organizing Committee, or allegations of conflict of interest against Lambi. The mayor was an unpaid board member of Westplex LOC. The redacted minutes accompany this article. The minutes do show that someone, whose name was redacted, submitted a letter with a complaint against Lambi. …

The Board of Aldermen continue to disgrace City Hall with their power struggle. I was hoping the Board would do some changing after our election but the only changes I can see is that we have gone from 4 aldermen bucking the Mayor to 5 aldermen. I am appalled at Aldermen Cheryl Kross with her attempt to chastise our new Mayor over a picture of a monument with the logo of Wentzville. They don't … more ›
