Dear Fellow Resident of Ward 7:
I am both honored and humbled to continue representing you on the St. Charles City Council. I am here in this capacity to serve the residents of Ward 7 and the city of St. Charles at large. My priorities continue to focus on public safety, infrastructure (sewers, water, roads) and reducing the local tax burden.
I hope you’ll spend some time perusing our new and improved web site and take advantage of the many options available online to link you with city services and offerings. In addition, I wanted to take a brief moment to highlight a host of exciting plans and activities happening in our city. In fact, there is no shortage of things to do or ways to get involved in the St. Charles community. I encourage you to consider the following opportunities:
Boards and Commissions -- I’m also on the lookout for citizens who are willing to serve on our city's Boards and Commissions. If you are willing to serve your fellow citizens by donating your time to this worthy cause, please contact me and additional details will be provided.
Walking Tour -- And, in the event you're thinking St. Charles is all work and no play, don't forget to take advantage of our new iPod walking tour the next time you're on historic Main Street . Be sure to stop by the Greater St. Charles Convention & Visitors Bureau, 230 S. Main Street , and check out an iPod free of charge. This historical tour is one you won't want to miss, and it's an hour well-spent...I guarantee you'll learn something new about our city! For more information, check out this recent article published in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. »Open article
Census 2010 -- On April 1, 2010 residents of the City of Saint Charles and across America will be participating in the 2010 United States Census. A complete and accurate Census count of St. Charles residents is critical if we are to maintain or improve upon our current level of Federal program funding. It is estimated that Missouri could lose $1 Million in Federal funds for every 100 residents not counted in the Census. An incomplete count could also affect Missouri Congressional Representation and future Federal funds allocated to our local government.
We want the City of Saint Charles to be the leading city in Saint Charles County for their percentage of resident representation in the Census. To learn more about the Census and how it effects you please go to http://2010.census.gov/2010census/ .
As always, I look forward to hearing from you whether it's to express interest in a volunteer opportunity or to raise a question or concern that's on your mind. Please don't hesitate to call or drop me a line anytime.
Best wishes,
Dave Beckering
Council Member, Ward 7
