9:05 – 9:22 (17mins) David Stokes, Director of Municipal Policy at theShow-Me Institute, @DavidCStokes @ShowMeShowMeInstitute.org

to discuss: 

1. 
   David's new report:  A Free-Market Guide for Missouri Municipalities,Part Five: Public Health & Sanitation
   Some key takeaways from the report:

• Health services are generally county responsibilities. However, municipalities may have health code regulations or help enforce state and county health regulations.
• Local regulations can overreach and can be used to restrict consumer choice and impose unnecessary costs on taxpayers.

• Alternative service delivery is an option that municipalities can effectively use to increase efficiency and provide better services in tasks such as trash collection and animal shelter operations.
  
  2) St. Louis County Executive Sam Page is urging the County Council to consider raising the county’s property tax rate before an Oct. 1 deadline, warning that inaction would take         the revenue option off the table for two years and increase the likelihood of cuts to police and other services.
