Hello Chesterfield,
It’s an honor to write to you for the first time as mayor. I want to begin by thanking you for your trust and support. After serving this community for more than 30 years, including as a councilmember and Council President Pro Tem, I’m proud to continue that service in this new role.
Chesterfield is built on strong neighborhoods, responsive services, and an engaged citizenry. As mayor, I will continue supporting the values that make our City exceptional while embracing the tools that help us improve and grow. That’s why this Citizen issue highlights an exciting theme: A Smarter City – How Technology is Enhancing City Services.
Chesterfield is Getting
Smarter
In this issue, you’ll read about the ways Chesterfield uses technology to strengthen services, improve safety, and better connect with residents.
• Our Police Department drone program supports public safety and crash investigations using FAA-certified pilots and advanced technology like infrared cameras and 3D scene mapping.
• The redesigned City website, built in partnership with CivicPlus, improves access to services, alerts, and registration tools in a mobile-friendly, ADA-accessible format.
• Residents can now use Report A Concern and our alerts system to report issues, stay informed, and get updates from one easy-to-use platform.
These are just a few ways the City is becoming more efficient, connected, and transparent.
What’s Happening This Summer
This edition also features a full lineup of events, programs, and concerts for residents of all ages:
• The Sounds of Summer concert series returns to the Chesterfield Amphitheater with incredible tribute bands all season long.
• The 13th Annual Ed Nestor Memorial Backstoppalooza on August 23 will raise funds to support families of fallen police officers and firefighters.
• From Movies Under the Stars and youth sports to pickleball, aquatics, and archery, there’s no shortage of summer fun throughout our parks and facilities.
You’ll also find information on our July 4th Celebration, older adult programs, and more throughout the newsletter.
I want to take a moment to congratulate our newly elected officials—Councilmembers Barbara McGuinness, Patricia Tocco, Lane Koch, and Gary Budoor—who were sworn in last month. I look forward to working closely with each of them and the entire Council to serve you.
Looking Ahead
Chesterfield’s future is bright. As we invest in smart infrastructure, safer streets, and stronger neighborhoods, we remain committed to our identity as a welcoming and forward-thinking city.
I encourage you to stay engaged, sign up for notifications, explore our new website, and take part in all that Chesterfield has to offer this summer.
Thank you again for the opportunity to serve as your mayor. I look forward to the road ahead, and I hope to see you around town!

Stay Informed: Visit the City of Chesterfield’s New Website
Have you noticed that our website has undergone some changes? We’ve made updates to improve your experience and functionality, and we’re confident these changes will enhance your experience.
The City of Chesterfield has collaborated with CivicPlus, an integrated technology solutions provider for local governments, to launch a new mobile-responsive and functional civic website. We selected CivicPlus due to its expertise in delivering technological solutions that enhance resident engagement and improve access to municipal services. Our website has been designed with the following accessibility guidelines in mind:
• The standard font used throughout the site has been chosen to be easily legible.
• Wherever possible, we use live text instead of graphics to reduce the download time of pages and increase your control.
• No information is exclusively conveyed using color. This doesn’t mean that colors are not used to organize information; instead, it means there are other, non-color-dependent ways of doing this.
• All images and hyperlinks, where appropriate, have an alternative text attribute. This means when an image or hyperlink is conveying important information, its content is described with an alternative text.
• We have complied with Section 508, referring to website accessibility standards.
Did you know that while navigating the City’s website, you can click on the City’s logo to return to the home page?
If you use assistive technology (such as a Braille reader or a screen reader) and the format of any material on this website interferes with your ability to access information, please contact the ADA Coordinator via email at adacoordinator@chesterfield.mo.us and we will work to accommodate your request.

Chesterfield Police Department Hosts 13th Annual Ed Nestor Memorial Backstoppalooza Concert
August 23, 2025
The Ed Nestor Memorial Backstoppalooza event is a fundraising concert that supports BackStoppers, Inc.—an organization that provides immediate financial aid and other support to the families of police officers and firefighters who lose their lives in the line of duty.
The annual Backstoppalooza fundraiser concert is on Saturday, August 23, 2025, at the Chesterfield Amphitheater. Gates will open at 6 p.m., and the concert will begin with our opening artist, Chesterfield Police Officer Tyler Lewis, from 6:30-7:15 p.m., followed by Dancing Queen: A Tribute to ABBA at 7:30 p.m., then Night Fever: A Tribute to the Bee Gees at 8:30 p.m. All proceeds from Backstoppalooza support BackStoppers, Inc., and donations will be encouraged and collected at the event.

Corporate sponsorship opportunities are still available for this year’s event. To participate, contact Sgt. Robert Powell at BPalooza@chesterfield.mo.us or visit https://www.chesterfield.mo.us/232
National Night Out Returns to
the
City of Chesterfield August 5, 2025
On Tuesday, August 5, 2025, from 6-8 p.m., we will celebrate National Night Out in Chesterfield by joining forces with thousands of communities nationwide for the 42nd Annual National Night Out (NNO) crime and drug prevention event. National Night Out, sponsored by the National Association of Town Watch and the Chesterfield Police Department, will involve over 10,000 communities from all 50 states.
National Night Out is designed to increase crime and drug prevention awareness, generate support for and participation in local anticrime efforts, strengthen neighborhood spirit and policecommunity partnerships, and send a message to criminals that neighborhoods are organized and fighting back.
That night, residents in neighborhoods throughout Chesterfield and across the nation are asked to lock their doors, turn on outside lights, and spend the evening outside with neighbors and police. The Chesterfield Police Department is looking forward to seeing everyone at the
event for a little fun and a lot of community spirit as we all work toward preventing crime and addiction.
During the evening, our Community Affairs and Patrol Units visit registered neighborhood events in Chesterfield and Clarkson Valley. This is a great chance to ask questions and have open dialogue with the officers.
For more information or to register your neighborhood, please contact the Chesterfield Police Department Community Affairs Officer Chad Meyer at 636.537.6769 or cmeyer@chesterfield.mo.us or visit our webpage at https://www.chesterfield.mo.us/729
High-Tech Help: Chesterfield Police Department Uses Drone Program to Enhance Safety Services
The Chesterfield Police Department has a drone program and regularly flies them for both training and to assist with in-progress calls.
The Department has a strict written policy that governs the use of our drones, following FAA regulations and protecting citizens’ rights. Our drone pilots are FAA-certified, and all of our flights are logged. Any video and photo evidence taken by drone is uploaded into the same evidence system that retains our dash camera and body-worn camera videos.
We utilize the drones for various tasks, such as searching for missing persons, fleeing subjects, and mapping sites for critical incident response plans; however, the primary focus of our drone program is improved traffic crash reconstruction of fatal vehicle crashes. The Traffic Unit’s Reconstruction Team uses overhead photos to align our measurements and scale diagrams and uses angled photos to demonstrate a better overall understanding of the scenes in our reports.
The Chesterfield Police Department Drone Program’s fleet consists of two DJI Mavic Enterprise drones and our new addition, a Skydio X10.
The Skydio X10, which is 100% manufactured and programmed in the USA, has some exciting features and capabilities.
• It can fly in the rain.
• Its infrared camera is a big improvement over our previous capabilities, helping us locate missing persons at night.
• Its 2D mapping function allows us to render 3D images of fatal crash scenes.
We are working to be an example for our neighboring municipalities who are looking to start their own drone programs!

Chesterfield and its Pollinator Neighbors: Do you Know Your Pollinator Neighbors?
Pollinators are essential players in maintaining biodiversity and supporting ecosystems, and residents in Chesterfield and the broader St. Louis area are embracing initiatives and practices to protect these vital creatures. From community programs to individual efforts, pollinators like bees, butterflies, and even bats are getting the attention they deserve.
Why do Pollinators Matter?
Pollinators are responsible for the reproduction of over 75% of flowering plants and nearly 35% of the world’s food crops. Without them, our ecosystems would face severe imbalances and food supply chain disruptions. However, pollinator populations are declining due to habitat loss, pesticide use, and climate change. Chesterfield is stepping up to address this challenge.
Monarch Butterflies: A Special Focus
Among pollinators, monarch butterflies hold a unique place due to their iconic migration and reliance on milkweed plants for survival. Monarchs are facing significant challenges, including habitat loss and climate change. Chesterfield has initiatives like the Chesterfield Citizens Environmental Advisory Committee (CCEAC), which has established pollinator gardens and Monarch Waystations. These efforts focus on creating native habitats for pollinators, minimizing pesticide use, and promoting the planting of native species to support biodiversity and help support monarch conservation through initiatives like the National Wildlife Federation’s Monarch Waystation program. Monarch Waystations provide essential resources such as milkweed and nectar plants, crucial for monarchs during their breeding and migration seasons.
Milkweed is the host plant for monarch caterpillars, and without it, they cannot develop into butterflies. Chesterfield residents can contribute by planting native milkweed species, such as swamp milkweed and butterfly milkweed, in their gardens. These plants not only support monarchs but enhance the beauty of local landscapes.
Community Initiatives
One notable effort is Project Pollinator, led by the Butterfly House in Faust Park. This program focuses on educating the community about pollinators and creating pollinator-friendly gardens. They provide workshops, plant sales, and hands-on activities to encourage residents to take actionable steps in their own backyards. Residents can learn how to build environments that attract pollinators and ensure they have access to the resources they need.
Additionally, the University of Missouri–St. Louis is conducting a study to evaluate how urban green spaces, like the Green House Venture’s Embankment Greenway, can help revitalize pollinator populations. These research findings can inform better urban planning and engage local students in real-world conservation projects.
Pollinator-friendly spaces in neighboring areas also contribute to the larger ecosystem, ensuring pollinators have access to food, shelter, and nesting sites. Together, these communities are making a significant impact on pollinator conservation.

Tips for Supporting Pollinators
Spring to Summer
These nocturnal pollinators prefer fragrant, night-blooming flowers.
Beetles are generalists and visit a variety of plants.
Essential for monarch caterpillars; plant multiple species for seasonal blooms.
To foster a healthy environment for pollinators in Chesterfield, consider these steps:
• Plant Native Species: Native plants are best suited to the local climate and provide the necessary resources for local pollinators.
• Create Continuous Blooms: Choose a variety of plants that bloom at different times throughout the year to ensure a consistent food supply.
• Go Organic: Avoid using pesticides and herbicides. If pest control is necessary, opt for natural methods.
• Provide Shelter: Pollinators need more than just food—they also require shelter. Leave areas with undisturbed soil, dead wood, or leaves for bees, beetles, and other insects.
• Educate Others: Encourage your friends, family, and neighbors to join in the effort to create a pollinatorfriendly community.
Making a Difference in Chesterfield
By participating in these initiatives and implementing small changes, Chesterfield residents can make a big impact on pollinator populations. The efforts not only support ecosystems but also contribute to the beauty of the community with thriving gardens and green spaces.
Supporting pollinators is a journey that enriches the environment between people and nature. Let’s make Chesterfield a haven for these incredible creatures!
