Memorial Walkway Dedication

Memorial Walkway In May 2010, the City of Kirkwood dedicated a Memorial Walkway in memory of the public servants who lost their lives on February 7, 2008. The Walkway is located along the north perimeter of Kirkwood City Hall, adjacent to the train tracks. A plaque for each individual, along with a lighted pole and nearby bench, were dedicated for Mayor Mike Swoboda, Police Officer Thomas Ballman, Police Sergeant William Biggs, Councilmember Connie Karr, Councilmember Michael H.T. Lynch, and Public Works Director Kenneth Yost.

The City of Kirkwood’s Charter places administrative authority with the Chief Administrative Officer and legislative and policy-making authority with the City Council. The City Clerk is appointed by the Mayor and Council and works in several capacities, including Custodian of Records and as the main source of contact for the Council. One of the most important functions of the City Clerk is to serve as a direct contact with residents wishing to express concerns about City services or issues. In this capacity, the City Clerk acts as an impartial conduit in relaying these concerns to the City Council and ultimately to the appropriate staff member for resolution.

The City Clerk accepts and handles Special Use Permits applications, records requests, and special event permit requests. The City Clerk prepares and posts agendas and meeting minutes for Council meetings and maintains records for the Council and the City. The City Clerk also conducts tours of City Hall for area student groups upon request and accepts voter registrations (see FAQs). Agendas for the Council's Work Session and Formal Meetings, along with Formal Meeting Minutes, are available on this web page.
