Liquor Sales Hours Extended During FIFA World Cup Tournament
SYNOPSIS: Discussion on whether to exempt The City of Brentwood, Missouri, from the extension of the hours for the sale of intoxicating liquor during the 2026 FIFA World Cup Tournament. INITIATING DEPARTMENT: Administration SUBJECT: Liquor Sales Hours Extended During FIFA World Cup Tournament PRESENTER: Bola Akande, City Administrator BACKGROUND: HB 1041 was recently signed by Governor Kehoe. Among other provisions this legislation will allow any establishment that is licensed to sell intoxicating liquor by the drink at retail for consumption on the premises in any city, county, district, or other political subdivision to operate twenty-four hours a day and sell, serve, and allow for the consumption of alcoholic beverages between the hours of 6:00 a.m. and 5:00 a.m. of the following day. These temporary extended hours will run from June 11, 2026, through July 19, 2026. Municipalities may opt out of these provisions or may modify by ordinance the hours applicable to such political subdivision for the temporary period allowed by this section. These are the businesses I can think of: - OB Clark - BoneFish - Buffalo Wild Wings - Frank Papa's Ristorante - Mai Lee Restaurant - Tonas Margarita Bar & Mexican Restaurant - Maize & Wheat During the 2026 FIFA World Cup, bars in Kansas City will be allowed to serve alcohol from 6 a.m. to 5 a.m. the following day, accommodating the large influx of visitors expected during the tournament. This temporary extension aims to help bars meet the demand of fans attending games scheduled for late-night times. However, not all bars will participate, and some may choose to stick to their regular hours due to staffing concerns and safety considerations. In St. Louis County, Missouri, the general rule for alcohol service is: - Bars and restaurants must stop serving alcohol by 1:30 a.m. - They must close by 2:00 a.m. unless they have a special late-night permit. 1. City of Washington, MO have allowed 02.05.2026 – All in 2. City of Union, MO still deciding 02.05.2026 3. City of Des Peres - Des Peres intends to decide at some point, preferably closer to the event. 02.05.2026 4. City of Sunset Hills - We have our second reading to opt out on Tuesday. I'm sure it'll pass. 02.05.2026 - 5. City of Wentzville - We have an ordnance prepared to opt out of the extension. 02.05.2026 - Opted Out 6. City of Cottleville - Yes, Cottleville opted out. 02.05.2026 - Opted Out 7. City of St. Charles - St Charles has not brought it forward to the council for consideration, but will be bringing something forward soon to opt out. 02.05.2026 8. City of Hazelwood - We voted to keep normal operating hours and opt out. We did not see the benefit of extending the hours. 02.05.2026 - Opted Out 9. City of Weldon Springs - Weldon Spring has decided to opt out of this. 02.05.2026 - Opted Out 10. City of Creve Coeur - Creve Coeur voted to continue to follow the normal local rules for alcohol sale hours during the World Cup (Ordinance No. 5969). 02.05.2026 - Opted Out 11. City of O'Fallon - O'Fallon has opted out. 02.05.2026 - Opted Out 12. City of Webster Groves - WG is going all in. It's viewed as an opportunity for our businesses. All in 13. City of Fenton - The City of Fenton's Board will be discussing the attached draft Bill to opt out during their Committee Meeting tonight. If they decide to opt out, the Bill will be placed on the February 26th Board Meeting agenda for consideration/approval. 02.05.2026 14. City of Chesterfield - Chesterfield has opted out. We'll direct all the drunk drivers somewhere else. 02.05.2026 - Opted Out 15. City of Richmond Heights - The only restaurant that would likely benefit in RH is Mike Duffy's. We are asking them what they prefer. 16. Olivette polled our applicable liquor license holders during the annual renewal. There was limited interest in the extended hours. The information has been brought to Council and they haven't made a decision either way yet. 17. City of Pacific, Opt out and keep regular business hours. FINANCE/OPERATIONS: Not Applicable RECOMMENDATION: Attached is the proposed ordinance for the City to exempt itself from the state statute allowing for the extended hours for liquor sales. If the City takes no action, then bars can stay open and serve alcohol 23 hours per day during the World Cup. Staff offers no recommendation.

St Louis County Prisoner Housing Contract
SYNOPSIS: On 12/16/2025, the St. Louis County Council issued an order increasing the per diem rate for the housing of inmates at the Buzz Westfall Justice Center. This increase requires an amendment to the existing contract. INITIATING DEPARTMENT: Police SUBJECT: Prisoner Housing PRESENTER: Major Joe Sullivan BACKGROUND/MEETING HISTORY: The City of Brentwood entered into a contract with St. Louis County for the housing of prisoners at the Buzz Westfall Justice center in 1998. FINANCE/OPERATIONS: St. Louis County has increased their per diem rate from $50 to $75 per each 24-hour period in which an inmate is in the custody of the County Department of Justice Services. Last year, we paid St. Louis County $3850 in prisoner fees. This 50% increase is estimated to result in an additional $2,000 this year for prisoner housing in St. Louis County. We did pay Richmond Heights $2,387 for prisoner housing in 2025 for a total of $6,237. For FY 2026, our jail budget is $10,000, so I estimate that we would be able to absorb the proposed price increase from St. Louis County. RECOMMENDATION: The Police Department recommends continuing contracting with St. Louis County for prisoner housing.

Stryker/Physio Controls Contract
SYNOPSIS: Staff is seeking the Committee's consideration and approval to amend Resolution 1464 with Stryker/Physio Control to incorporate all biomedical equipment owned by the city under a single contract document. INITIATING DEPARTMENT: Fire SUBJECT: Stryker/Physio Control Amendment PRESENTER: Ed Beirne, Fire Chief BACKGROUND: In 2023 the fire department entered into the current resolution, in effect until June 2026, that covered a city-wide fleet of seven AED's (automatic external defibrillators), four monitor/defibrillators used on fire department apparatus, one Lucas device, as well as stretchers, autoload devices, and a stair chair. The two Lifepak 35's purchased in 2025 will have the manufacturer's warranty expire this year. In addition, two of the AED's located in the Rec Center are no longer eligible due to parts availability. Updating the current resolution to include all city owned equipment under a single agreement and coverage period effective through February of 2029 will streamline repairs, scheduling, and replacement processes. FINANCE/OPERATIONS: The cost of the updated 2026-2029 contract will be $15,590.70 per year for three years, totaling $46,772.10. The amended agreement will add $5,902.68 over the duration of the three-year contractual period. All equipment covered under this contract and moving to the new contract will be pro-rated at 32-month pricing, as a full year was already paid for by the city. RECOMMENDATION: It is the recommendation of the fire department to amend Resolution 1464 and enter into the contract for service (attached) with Stryker/Physio Control to reflect the updated coverage periods and costs for city-owned biomedical equipment.
