Exhibit A Nakazono, Katie From: Dave Buck <dave@buckstl.com> Sent: Wednesday, October 19, 2022 10:38 AM To: Laura W. Arnold; Pam Bliss; Alexander, Karen; Richardson, Sarah; Emily Hixson Shepherd; David Franklin; Emerson Smith; Peoples, Marie; Peterson, Eric; Nakazono, Katie; Sarah Riss; Sebastian Bellomo Cc: Perry, Mara; Starkey, Jenny; Conrad, Jennifer; Davis, Scott; Rehg, Todd; Curtis, Dale; Perks, Greg; Ellis, Brett; Gerry Welch; Toni Hunt; Kathy Hart; info@injurylawstl.com; Bill Newhouse; preservewebster@gmail.com; Clark Hotaling; Farrell Carfield; Kathleen Hurley; croftrj@sbcglobal.net; Jeff Smith; bkmacahoon@charter.net; Jamie Hasemeier; Eric Hayes Subject: Dave Buck's Remarks in City Council Meeting, 10/18/22 Caution: This is an External Message - Please be cautious when opening links or attachments I hope you received my email and know that I am proud of you & your great thinking displayed in your strategic planning session this past Saturday. This shares TWO additional perspectives in that regard. FIRST, you voiced the need to think OUTSIDE the Webster Groves box. That's being creative & PROGRESSIVE! But there is also a need to think INSIDE the box. That's being stable & TRADITIONAL! And, in my opinion, while there should be a friendly & healthy push-pull between traditional and progressive, there is plenty of need & opportunity for BOTH! But we must all recognize that since its incorporation 126 years ago in 1896, Webster's historic EQUITIES have defined our box and our unique, well-established CHARACTER & IDENTITY versus other communities. And whenever these equities are violated or threatened, our residents almost immediately react and push back, as they did on Douglass Hill, which was judged to be way out of character for Webster Groves. City Council listened and unanimously agreed to vote against the project. Thus, to me, there is a vital need for Council to strategically define on paper, once and for all, our city's character, identity & our enduring equities to be preserved & protected and provide a shared, consistent view within the community. SECOND, you identified LEADERSHIP as a core value. As you know, there are different kinds of leadership. For example, Fire Chief Brett Ellis has a Doctorate degree in Transformational Leadership. To me, City Council & Staff must strive for SERVANT LEADERSHIP. On the City organizational chart, Council reports to and SERVES the Residents (so you report to me!). You can further strengthen this purpose by continually monitoring & understanding our needs, then crafting a strategic plan that leads the community forward by successfully meeting & serving those needs. This is our city's own circle of life! 1 Thus, as an advocate of market research, it is critically important for you to constantly keep your finger on the pulse of your residents & ideally to gain their input BEFORE you begin serious strategic planning. For example, as a 20+ year resident, my own answers to your various exercises were very different than yours - which is the whole point why your own thinking can be enriched by the upfront thinking of your residents. Thank YOU! 2 Exhibit B Layered Flood Maps FEMA FLOOD MAPS FEMA FLOOD MAPS FEMA FLOOD MAPS FEMA FLOOD MAPS FEMA FLOOD MAPS FEMA FLOOD MAPS FEMA FLOOD MAPS FEMA FLOOD MAPS FEMA FLOOD MAPS

It meant a lot to all of us. It was a true collaborative effort! HERE ARE MY REMARKS I CAME TO THE MEETING INTENDING TO DELIVER I believe that three of the most timeless, universal and needed words in the world today are LOVE THY NEIGHBOR. That's ALL our neighbors! Although City Council members and I are fellow Webster Groves residents, we are not neighbors. NEIGHBORS are a special classification who live in close proximity to one another in a NEIGHBORHOOD that can, over time, create and build a such a strong emotional connection, identity and love between neighbors that it often surpasses that with Webster Groves as a whole. Through Porchfest, I have experienced first-hand three important, unique and special neighborhoods in our city: 1) S. Gore & Gray two years ago, 2) North Webster last year, and 3) Tuxedo Park this past Sunday, which may just be the most extraordinary neighborhood I have ever seen, including the great neighborhood where I grew up in Wichita, KS. In short, these neighborhoods & their people know what it means to love thy neighbor & how to show it, and why I am convinced that our city's true strength & character ultimately lies not within City Hall, our businesses or our schools, but within our enduring neighborhoods above all else. 1 So, consider for a moment three of the election campaign priorities and promises many of you made early this year: 1) responsive government, 2) smart development, and 3) sound budget management. All rational and all important. But, now, wonder if there was a fourth one. An emotional one: LOVE THY NEIGHBOR. What would this look like? What would this feel like? What unique ideas & actions might you take to foster & nurture it across all of our city's different neighborhoods? Who knows? It could just be the most important thing you can do for the love & well-being of our city. After all, as the Beatles sang, "All You Need Is Love." NOW, GIVEN THAT I CHANGED GEARS AND SPOKE OFF THE CUFF, HERE ARE MY PARAPHRASED REMARKS AFTER SEEING THE CITY BUDGET NUMBERS SHARED IN THE CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION Part of what Marie shared in the work session about City Council's Strategic Planning included an early survey of Council and separately of Staff on what they felt were the city's top goals. Both listed "Ensure Financial Security" as their #1 goal among 6-7 goals they listed. Just to be clear, "Ensure Financial Security" is not just one of the 7 top goals identified, it was THE indisputable #1 most important goal above all others! Further, the last time Council set formal goals was back 4 years ago in 2018-19. "Ensure Financial Security" was their #1 most important goal. In fact, in the 20+ years I have lived in Webster Groves, "Ensure Financial Security" has ALWAYS been the consistent, #1 most important goal of EVERY City Council as chief stewards of our city's finances and primary caretakers of our city's financial health & well-being. Now, I am a marketer and creator of new ideas. I am no financial genius by any means. I know that. But I have developed and managed plenty of brand budgets and profit & loss statements in my 40-year career. And the numbers Eric shared with Council SCARE THE HELL OUT OF ME as a resident of our city. Unless I am way off base, I do not ever remember the city facing such a budget crisis. Three major observations: 1) the city budget is far from balanced and is now operating in the red, with budget losses currently projected to INCREASE every year for at least the next 4-5 years, roughly estimated to total over $12 million during that time, 2) current expenses are projected to increase three times the rate of revenue, and 3) based on the imperfect, incomplete and perhaps inaccurate information I have read, I am just not aware of any of our neighboring sister cities facing this same budget crisis. My metaphor is that this budget crisis is like Hurricane Ian slamming into City Hall. And what is Florida's immediate & focused response: to keep their citizens safe, restore vital services, clean-up the mess and rebuild to get their cities back to normal again.....BEFORE thinking about the future. In short, first things first and, as such, given Council's #1 goal to "Ensure Financial Security", my own advice would be for Council's immediate priority to be to fully focus on solving our budget crisis before planning our future in strategic planning, even if it was delayed 6 months to a year in order to right the ship once again. 2 As I departed, my good friend, Laura (Mayor Arnold), said my assessment and view of the numbers is likely inaccurate and that they do not yet reflect tangible, meaningful and significant actions to be taken by the Council. I hear that. Great. But it underscores my point. Whatever these actions are, we need them NOW, not later. Time to focus, Carpe Diem and seize the day to get the budget in order before things possibly get much worse. In closing, I am not being critical. But I am very SCARED for our city!!! I have seen brands and businesses totally collapse & close down because budgets could not be controlled. And it can happen faster than you think. 3 Exhibit C STORMWATER SERVICE Q4 2022 Stormwater Service in the St. Louis Area Regulatory (MS4) Funded since 1954 Storm Sewer O&M Funded since 2016 Stormwater Capital for Flooding & Erosion Funding minimal Service Boundaries Current $700 million in Situation problems identified $9.8 million/year in OMCI revenue Selection criteria— water quality, environmental justice, $51 million ARPA level of local match grant request, using $7.4 million local Focus on 4 packages / match 7 projects--$17.3 million grant, $5.9 Proposed ballot million local match election in April 2024 Public Acceptance Research shows people are willing to pay $25/year In 2019, stormwater vote lost— 53% yes to 47% no Proposal–revenue, expenditures, implementation Revenue Property tax of 7 ½ cent ($25/year) for residential properties (affordability) Impervious area rate for non-residential (equity) Together, these will generate $30 million/year Expenditures 60% District-wide capital program 30% Municipal grants 10% Environmental Justice-area capital program Implementation Election in April 2024 Impervious charge— start collecting monthly in January 2025 Existing OMCI tax—turn off after calendar year 2024 New property tax— collect at end of calendar year 2025 Our Focus Area-wide attention to the “Don’t forget the issue and $700 million.” implementation THANK YOU Q4 2022 RESOLUTION #2022-49 AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO ENTER INTO A DESIGN CONTRACT FOR THE CULVERT AT GORE AND KIRKHAM AVENUES WHEREAS, the Public Works staff reviewed the approved consultant pre- qualified list on file for storm water projects through MoDOT for design of the culvert at Gore and Kirkham Avenues; and WHEREAS, the proposal from CDG Engineers, One Campbell Plaza, St. Louis, MO 63139, in the amount not to exceed $140,700.00, was determined to be the most advantageous proposal in accordance with the specifications.
