Board of Aldermen of the City of St. Louis

Board of Aldermen of the City of St. Louis

The Board of Aldermen, is the municipal legislature of the independent City of St. Louis, Missouri.

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.

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.
