Bryce Steinhoff lost his bid to become a St. Charles City Council member by just four votes. By law, he's allowed to ask for a recount and that's exactly what he's doing.
Bryce Steinhoff is exercising his right to a recount of his four-vote loss to City Councilwoman Bridget Ohmes on April 2, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports. Ohmes reclaimed her seat on the city council with 482 votes, just four more than Ohmes' 478.

Elections Director Rich Chrismer said he expected a judge to schedule the recount for sometime next month, the Post-Dispatch report said. During the April 2 election, council members Jerry Reese (Ward 6) and Rod Herrmann (Ward 8) also won reelection to their respective seats.

Voters passed Proposition R 3,738 (66.22 percent) to 1,873 (33.38 percent) giving the city money to repair the parking garage.
A St. Charles city parking garage located on Second Street under St. Charles City Hall will get some repairs following Tuesday's results in the municipal election. It took a second appearance on the ballot to get the funds, but voters passed Proposition R 3,738 (66.22 percent) to 1,873 (33.38 percent). The yes vote gives the city $3.8 million in general obligation bonds. The debt created by the bonds would be repaid with existing property tax funds and the tax rate would not increase. The facility was built in 1973 and underwent structural repairs in 1995. A 2009 survey of the garage showed major structural problems including missing concrete, exposed rebar and exposed staircases, which has led to rusted handrails and peeling paint. The…
