St. Louis County Proposition C
Simple majority required.Ballot wording: Shall Sections 2.180(1) and 3.020, 5.050 and 6.060 of the Charter of St. Louis County be amended to bring the section in compliance with the Missouri Constitution Article VII, Section 13 and to correct an error on the date a term in office ends, as set forth in Exhibit A of Ordinance No. 29,591, on file with the St. Louis County Administrative Director and the St. Louis County Board of Election Commissioners?Summary: The measure would amend the county charter to allow the County Council to raise the pay for whoever is elected in November as the next county executive and county assessor. The charter currently prohibits the council from increasing the salaries for those offices in the 10 months before an election. The charter amendment would align the county with the state constitution, which says salaries of elected officials cannot be increased during their term in office but doesn't include a provision barring increases 10 months before their election. The charter amendment also would end a county elected official's term on the first Tuesday in January following a general election rather than the second Tuesday.
