Nope!
The projects are read aloud at the meeting, prior to the commission voting, in batches by program category.
Typically the list of awardees & award amounts is posted on the #AHCstl website following the board meeting.
One can argue that the lack of disclosure violates #MOsunshine

I see @stateofstlouis.bsky.social responded with the agenda posted on SLMPD website.

bsky.app/profile/stat...

There should also have been a physical meeting notice & agenda posted (24 hrs in advance) at Harris Stowe to comply with #MOsunshine law.

FWIW, the BOA & E+A never post physical notices.

Friendly reminder to Custodians of Records:
You cannot alter a record prior to the fulfillment of a #SunshineSTL request.

Redaction in accordance with #MOsunshine statutes is fine.

What does it take for the City of St. Louis to comply with #MOsunshine law?

@stltoday.com reporter @stephkukuljan.bsky.social asks:

"So am I to assume that the city can quickly access records but purposefully delays them? That all it takes to get records is to contact the Atty Gen's Office ASAP?"

The #MHBstl voted unanimously to enter closed session at approx 6:30 p.m., returning to open at 7:13 p.m., whereupon they happily adjourned after violating (IMO) #MOsunshine law.

The MHB is no better than the shenanigans of the airport privatization scam when it comes to violating the Sunshine law.

Update on my 3rd #SunshineSTL request for the slide presentation (image 2) used in the 9.6.23 Sunshine Law Training:

Atty E. Roth’s email (image 1) stating the presentation was a closed record under #MOsunshine law was sent on S. Hamilton’s final day as CC & Mayor Spencer’s first day in office. 👀

The reference to a “Trustee Portal” in the draft March meeting minutes points to a document archive that I suspect includes records that are open, as defined in the #MOsunshine statutes.

Time to #SunshineSTLMHB

Presentation at full board meeting on a new board document management system (Diligent).
Q from GRG board member (I think) about what materials on new platform are subject to #MOsunshine law. Atty David Richardson (Counsel for GRG) will research.👀
GRG needs to archive meeting recordings on Youtube.

Aaron Malin filed a Sunshine Law request in 2015. He’s still waiting for the law to catch up Malin and attorney Dave Roland are trying to have a county prosecutor held in contempt for failing to turn over records.

“It is absolutely clear they have not been complying with the court's order….
Now the question is, will the court actually hold them to account?” - Dave Roland.

I haven't received a response from SLDC to my Public Records Request no. R000132-012025, seeking the application for A-B's tax abatement in #BOAbb161.

The automated email response from SLDC does not meet the requirements of #MOsunshine Rev. Statutes 610.
