Cottleville Designated

Purple Heart City!

Nearly two months ago, Rich Francis, Cottleville City Administrator applied to the Purple Heart organization on behalf of the City of Cottleville to be designated a Purple Heart City in honor of all of the men and women who have selflessly served their country and this community in the Armed Forces. Mr. Francis stated he was happy to prepare the proclamation for the May 2022 Board of Aldermen meeting after speaking with Sydney "Sid" Staton, Commander of the Missouri Purple Heart Chapter 125 out of Fenton, MO. Commander Staton also attended the meeting and spoke to those in attendance regarding the Purple Heart Award which is the oldest military decoration in present use. He stated the Purple Heart, was the first American Service award or decoration made available to the common soldier who was wounded or who have paid the ultimate sacrifice while in action.

Mayor Bob Ronkoski, who feels it is really important to remember our veterans,was especially interested in becoming a designated Purple Heart City as his father, James F. Ronkoski, was a Platoon Sergeant E7 with the United States Army and received a Purple Heart on August 11, 1966 for wounds received in action during the Vietnam war. He also received two Bronze Oak Leaf Clusters for meritorious service. You can read more about Sgt. Ronkoski's story of heroism in the pictured general order number 5927 dated October 5, 1966.

In the coming days, signs recognizing Cottleville as a Purple Heart Community will be installed at major entrances to the City of Cottleville. The designation is not only for people who have earned the Purple Heart, but also brings appreciation to all the veterans in our community. We thank you!

*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 bills, utility bills, online purchases, cable bills, gas bills, electric bills, water bills, and other invoices, etc. As a result, you may lose money AND the City of Cottleville may also lose the tax revenue to the wrong City listed on that bill or purchase. Those taxes are used to provide vital services such as parks, police, street repair, street lights, sidewalk repairs and so on.

Mosquitoes and Your Safety

Summertime brings fun in the sun, but it also means pesky critters which can be annoying, and even dangerous. Cottleville contracts with St. Charles County Environmental Service for Mosquito control. If you need to request additional mosquito control in your neighborhood please submit your request using this online form.

Mosquito safety is as easy as A, B, C, D...

Avoid bites---use insect repellent!

Be safe---always follow the repellent label instructions!

Cover up---wear loose, light-colored long sleeves and pants!

Dump---remove standing water around your home to reduce mosquito habitat!

The best way that citizens can help, is to eliminate breeding grounds on their own property. Clogged gutters, potted plant trays, buckets and lids, old tires, garden ponds etc are an oasis of breeding grounds for mosquitos!
