City of Cottleville Selected PGAV Planners for New Comp Plan — Work Continues- Open House Coming Up -Community Engagement has been Key Component!

The City of Cottleville is making steady progress on its new Comprehensive Plan, a guiding document that will help shape the community. In partnership with PGAV Planners, city leaders, staff, and residents are actively engaged in a collaborative planning process that is well underway.

The Planning & Zoning Commission has held several productive work sessions in recent months. Most recently, the Commission participated in a joint work session with the Parks & Recreation Advisory Committee. During this session, participants broke into small groups to work through interactive exercises, review trail connectivity maps, and other maps. These conversations are helping to identify priorities and opportunities that reflect the community’s vision.

The City of Cottleville and the Board of Aldermen selected PGAV Planners to lead the development of the Comprehensive Plan in late 2025. With extensive experience across the Midwest, PGAV brings expertise in land use planning, economic development, community engagement, and urban design. City staff continues to work closely alongside the planning team to ensure the process remains inclusive, data-driven, and community-focused.

The planning effort officially kicked off late last fall and will continue through fall 2026. The process includes a thorough assessment of existing conditions, community needs, and future opportunities. The end result will be a set of goals and strategies designed to guide thoughtful growth, preserve community character, and enhance overall quality of life in Cottleville.

Community engagement has been a key component of the process so far. The City is grateful for the strong participation from residents, with more than 700 responses received through the recent community survey. In addition, the last open house drew a great turnout, providing valuable feedback and ideas.

There are still opportunities to get involved!

*Save the Date: The next open house will be held at Cottleville City Hall on May 28 from 5:30–7:00 PM. Residents are encouraged to attend, share their input, and help shape the future of the community.

*Tentative Save the Date: Another open house will be held at Cottleville City Hall on August 27 from 5:30–7:00 PM. Residents are encouraged to attend, share their input, and help shape the future of the community.

2026 Mission Clean Stream

Thank You Volunteers!

Thank you to everyone who participated in 2026 Mission: Clean Stream during the weekend of April 11th and 12th.

We had 66 volunteers visit 15 different cleanup sites across Cottleville, collecting a total of 200 pounds of trash. Thanks to your hard work, this waste has been successfully removed from our local streams, creeks, lakes, and rivers.

We truly appreciate your dedication to keeping our community clean.

Have You Heard of the Local Litter Buster's Group?

Back in 2022, while Cottleville resident LeaAnn Grimshaw was picking up trash along the roadside, her friend Jan Rovin suggested making it a group effort? What started as a shared passion for keeping the community clean quickly grew into something more—an opportunity to connect, have fun, and make a visible difference together.

Both LeaAnn and Jan were enthusiastic about beautifying the area. They recognized that picking up litter is not only an easy way to improve the community, but also a chance to meet new people, enjoy the outdoors, and stay active.

Jan soon brought in another friend Marilyn Westenberger, a natural connector known for her recruiting and networking skills, to round out the leadership team. Each brought something unique—Jan’s creativity and branding, LeaAnn’s initiative, and Marilyn’s ability to bring people together.

The three met for lunch to share ideas, and by the end of that meeting, Litter Busters was born.

Since then, the group has learned a lot—everything from coordinating safety vests and arranging dumpsters to building a presence on social media. Along the way, they’ve attracted other like-minded individuals who share their passion for community pride.

Today, Litter Busters continues to grow, proving that even a small group of friends with just an hour to spare can make a big impact in beautifying our city.

Named after Revolutionary War veteran Warren G. Cottle, who founded Cottleville in 1798, the school proudly carries forward a legacy of service, strength, and dedication that continues to inspire students and families every day.

The school's milestone celebration was student-led and featured special guest speakers Superintendent Mr. Mark Delaney (Former Cottleville Police Chief), St. Charles County Sheriff Scott A. Lewis, and Cottleville Alderman Michael Guccione — all of whom shared a meaningful connection to Warren Elementary, with children who have attended or are currently attending the school. Their presence is a testament to the lasting impact Warren has on the community.

Adding to the celebration, commemorative stones donated by Buchheit Supply in Cottleville serve as a lasting tribute to 25 years of memories, achievements, and growth.

Here’s to a proud past and a bright future. Happy 25th Birthday, Warren Elementary!

Cottleville Receives TAP Grant



The City of Cottleville has been awarded a federal Transportation Alternatives Program (TAP) grant to support pedestrian and bicycle safety improvements along Highway N, with funding administered through the East-West Gateway Council of Governments and the Missouri Department of Transportation. The grant, funded by the Federal Highway Administration, will advance a key corridor improvement project that enhances safety, connectivity, and accessibility for residents and visitors alike. 

The project includes the construction of a shared-use path, sidewalk improvements, and traffic-calming features along Highway N, extending from Knaust Road/Cottleville Parkway to Gutermuth Road. These improvements aim to provide safer accommodations for pedestrians and cyclists, improve mobility along a heavily traveled corridor, and support the City’s broader goals related to transportation safety and multi-modal connectivity. Under the grant agreement, federal funds will cover up to 80 percent of eligible project costs, with the City responsible for the remaining local share and long-term maintenance of the improvements.

The project will move through design, environmental review, public engagement, and right of way phases before construction, consistent with federal and state requirements. The City appreciates the partnership with East-West Gateway, MoDOT, and federal agencies in securing this important funding investment for the community.

Cottleville Parks & Recreation/Public Works Employees Jump into Spring Duties While Looking to Add Staff!

"Spring has arrived, bringing a renewed sense of energy and purpose for the Cottleville Parks and Recreation Department," says Mike Braun, Parks and Public Works Superintendent, who has been with the City for nearly 9 years. After a long winter, employees and crews are back in full force, working diligently to complete improvement projects, refresh public spaces, and finalize ambitious project lists designed to enhance the community’s outdoor experience.

This season marks one of the busiest times of the year for the veteran department, which has three full-time employees, one seasonal part-time employee, and is seeking to fill two part-time positions. From early morning maintenance work, to large-scale upgrades, employees are focused on making parks cleaner, safer, and more enjoyable for everyone. In addition to routine mowing and maintenance, walking trails are being repaired and resurfaced, improvment projects are being coordinated, playground equipment is being inspected and repaired, drinking fountains are being replaced, stormwater drainage is being improved, sand volleyball court sand has been replenished, playground nets are being replaced, and trees, flowers, and greenery are being replanted and mulched to bring vibrant color back to public spaces. Many of these projects were carefully planned over the winter months, and spring provides the ideal conditions to bring those plans to life. For employment opportunities to join the team, please visit: Employment Opportunities

Behind the scenes, the department has also been hard at work organizing and finalizing project lists that will guide development throughout the year. These lists prioritize community needs, budget considerations, and long-term sustainability goals. By mapping out these initiatives early, the department ensures that resources are used efficiently and that projects stay on schedule.

Community involvement remains a key part of the process. Feedback from residents helps shape which improvements are prioritized, and many local volunteers contribute their time to clean-up days and other projects. This collaboration strengthens the connection between the department and the people it serves. Please report concerns online here: Online Concerns

The Cottleville Public Works/Parks and Recreation employees' dedication is evident in their hard work, which not only improves the appearance of public spaces but also creates a welcoming environment where families, friends, and neighbors can gather, relax, and stay active.



As spring continues, residents can look forward to seeing steady progress across parks and facilities. With a strong plan in place and committed employees behind it, the Parks and Recreation Department is turning seasonal momentum into lasting improvements that will benefit the community throughout the year. We thank them!

City of Cottleville Clarifies Regulations for “Mini Bikes” and Similar Motorized Devices

The City of Cottleville updated safety regulations regarding the operation of "mini-bikes," pocket bikes, and other motorized play vehicles. While these devices are popular, many exceed the 49cc limit set by state law for unregistered road use. We have seen an increase in safety concerns, particularly involving unlicensed minors operating these vehicles on sidewalks, multipurpose trails, and roadways, which creates hazards for pedestrians and motorists.

To address these issues the Board of Aldermen adopted new definitions within the Municipal Traffic Code which establishes the following:

- Operation Restrictions: Mini-bikes, motorized scooters, and similar devices are prohibited on City streets, sidewalks, and within City parks, except during permitted events.

- Parental Responsibility: The ordinance establishes penalties for adults who knowingly allow minors to operate these vehicles unlawfully.

These updates are intended to enhance public safety and ensure our parks and trails remain safe for everyone. For more information please visit:  Cottleville Mini-Bike Ordinance Update

Please contact the Cottleville Police if you have any further questions. 

Reminder: The City of Cottleville Streamlined and Updated Noise Regulations Last October

The City of Cottleville Board of Aldermen recently approved updates to the City’s Noise and Nuisance Ordinance on October 15, 2025, to better balance the needs of residents and businesses within the community’s growing entertainment district. The revised ordinance modernizes terminology, clarifies enforcement procedures, and establishes objective decibel standards measured at the property line—creating a more transparent and consistent process for evaluating potential noise violations.

While the Cottleville Police Department has received only a few noise-related complaints this year, the Board determined it was important to streamline the process for future enforcement and to provide clearer expectations for all property owners. Many local businesses have already taken proactive steps to minimize noise impacts and maintain a positive environment for nearby residents.

Residents are reminded that timely reporting is essential for effective response. To report noise or other ordinance concerns—such as golf cart violations, dogs at large, or fireworks misconduct—please contact the 24-hour non-emergency dispatch line at (636) 939-9966 at the time of occurrence or as soon as safely possible. For emergencies, always call 911.

Delays in reporting or posting concerns on social media do not result in timely police response or resolution. Dispatchers need real-time information to properly log and route calls for service.



The City appreciates the continued support and cooperation of residents and businesses as we work together to maintain a safe, enjoyable, and vibrant community for all.

Local St. Charles County Historical Society Chapter Kick Off Meeting Well Attended!

The City of Cottleville has taken an important step in preserving local heritage by entering into an agreement to provide annual support to the St. Charles County Historical Society. This partnership highlights a shared commitment to safeguarding the rich history of the region while expanding access to valuable resources for residents.

The Historical Society plays a vital role in the community by maintaining historical documents, artifacts, and records that tell the story of St. Charles County and its surrounding areas. Beyond preservation, the organization also offers a variety of services aimed at educating and engaging the public with local history.

As part of its ongoing efforts to deepen community involvement, the Society is launching a series of local chapters focused on specific areas and family histories. The first of these, the Cottleville–Weldon Spring Chapter, officially kicked off with a meeting held on Wednesday, March 18 at Cottleville City Hall.

The event drew a strong turnout, reflecting clear interest in local history. Scott Lewis, City Historian, expressed enthusiasm about the response and extended his appreciation to the City of Cottleville for hosting the inaugural gathering. He emphasized that the chapter is designed to be accessible and welcoming, with meetings open to the public, informal in nature, and free of any membership requirements or dues.

To accommodate a wide range of participants, the chapter plans to meet quarterly at varying times and locations. The next meeting is scheduled to take place in June at Weldon Spring City Hall, with the exact date and time to be announced.

Residents who were unable to attend the kickoff meeting but are interested in participating are encouraged to reach out to the Historical Society or via email (slewis@sccmo.org) to stay informed about future events.

Gutermuth Road Phase 3 Opens to Two-Way Traffic!

Crews have opened Gutermuth Road to two-way traffic. There may be some delays while they finish the remaining punch list items. Please be patient with crews while they continue to work diligently to complete the project, which is a St. Charles County Road Board project.

*Phase 3 of Gutermuth Road is a St. Charles County road project. The third and final phase of roadway improvements now underway was initially delayed when the construction bids came in over budget; this put the project on hold, but following continued advocacy from City of Cottleville officials, the project design was revised and rebid in an effort to cut costs. These efforts paid off, and the revised project scope received competitive bids. The project was awarded to Gershenson Construction, and Notice to Proceed was issued in August of 2024.



**The Gutermuth Road Phase 3 improvements feature many safety enhancements such as new driving pavement, lane widening, flattening of hills, straightening of curves, curb and gutter stormwater systems, and a new 14-foot wide multi-use path on the south side of the road. For more information about this road improvement project, please visit: Gutermuth Road Phase 3

Cottleville Zip Codes

 All City residents and businesses should use "Cottleville", Mo as their City identification, followed by their current zip code, as their permanent address on utility bills and all other mail.

*Taxes collected and dispersed are often based upon a City zip code. 

For example, if you are a Cottleville resident and are currently using "St. Peters, Mo" or St. Charles, Mo or O'Fallon, Mo as your address, you MAY be paying a higher tax rate on your leased vehicle, purchased vehicles, phone bill, utility bills, online purchases, cable bill, gas bills etc. 

As a result, you may lose money AND the City may also lose the tax revenue to the wrong City list on that bill or purchase. These taxes are used to provide vital services such as parks, police, street repair, street lights, and so on.

It is important to note this advisory by the United States Postal Service: 

To avoid mail delivery delays, you must always use the correct City and zip code on your mail.

Did you know? The City is Required to Have a Development Review Process

The City is required to have a City Development Review Process for

 residents, land owners and developers. Once the City receives a

development proposal/application, the law requires that the City place

 that proposal on a meeting agenda (for consideration by the Planning & Zoning Commission and/or the Board of Aldermen). However, merely being placed on an agenda does not guarantee that the proposal will be approved. Instead, the City reviews the proposal to determine whether it complies with the City Code.

Throughout a development or application review process it is critical

that voting members of the public entity remain impartial and reserve

their final decision until it is time to vote. The primary reason for

this is to ensure each applicant is granted their due process for

consideration by the governing body. It is equally important for any

person from the community who has questions, concerns, or general

opinions about a given proposal that they communicate directly with

the City through the designated communication channels such as phone, email, written correspondence, or in-person statements at a public meeting. Taking to social media to share one's thoughts and opinions may be therapeutic and even garner like minded sentiment, but there is no guarantee that any decision makers from the governing body will become aware of such online statements.

As with any important topic, it is always best to research multiple

sources for information and in the case of city government operations

and activities that would include directing one's questions and

concerns to the City government. Your elected officials can assist

with this process if you ask them to and City staff are another

resource for information and facts on topics and proposals dealing

with local government.

Dogs In Cottleville:
