Violet Picked By Mayor to Take Ward 3 Alderman Seat After Elliott Resignation
St. Peters Mayor Len Pagano has called a special meeting at 4:45 p.m. on Thursday, Sept. 27, to appoint Terri Violet to the Board of Aldermen.
St. Peters Mayor Len Pagano is making sure Ward 3 residents won't be without a second alderman too much longer.

A special meeting has been called for 4:45 p.m. on Thursday, Sept. 27, with the sole agenda item being the selection of Elliott's replacement. In the meeting notice, posted on the city of St. Peters' website, a note from Mayor Pagano indicates he has selected and appointed Violet to fill the vacant seat.

By calling the special meeting and appointment the replacement, the city would be able to have a full stable of aldermen before Thursday’s regularly scheduled work session and meeting. A majority of the seven remaining aldermen will have to approve the appointment for Violet to fill Elliott’s seat.
If approved, Violet wouldn’t be filling out Elliott’s term—he resigned 16 months into a 4-year term. Instead she would serve until the municipal election next April.
