Internet Access Project <+> City of Wildwood-Spectrum
UPDATE #5 - Issued on December 8, 2022
As announced in late December 2021, the City has entered into an agreement with Spectrum Mid-America LLC to design, install and operate high-speed broadband internet service for the residents of Wildwood. Completing the number one priority of the City’s five-year Strategic Plan, this partnership with Spectrum will deliver fiber-based, high-speed internet service to the unserved and underserved areas of Wildwood who have been waiting for this service for many years. The City is investing $6.75 million in this project - that come from recent federal stimulus funds - and the project is expected to be completed within twenty-four months.
The FIFTH UPDATE on the high-speed internet access project has just been issued by the City Administrator, Steve Cross, and provides great information on the project's current status.
Dear Wildwood Resident,
The City of Wildwood is pleased to provide this fifth update to the Spectrum internet project. This latest update now includes Maps 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, and 16 depicting the remaining areas where Spectrum has notified the City that construction will begin for Phase 1. This update also includes the map entitled Total Project Area which denotes the entire project area for Phase 1 of the buildout as well as where each of the 16 maps falls within the total project area. Please note that these maps are an approximation of the buildout area and may not exactly depict the boundaries of where construction begins and ends. If you have a question as to whether your street address is included in the buildout area, please send an email to Steve Cross at the email address noted below. The home address is the key determinant as to which area of the Phase 1 buildout your home may be in.
Please also note that this project, to bring high-speed internet to the City of Wildwood, will be accomplished in two phases. Phase 1 encompasses approximately 2,025 homes in the area noted on the map as the Total Project Area. Construction on Phase 1 began in September 2022 and is currently anticipated to be completed by the end of December 2023. Phase 2 is anticipated to begin shortly after the completion of Phase 1. If you are uncertain as to whether your home is included in Phase 1, please notify Steve Cross. If it is determined that your address is not included in Phase 1, your address will be added to the list of addresses that will encompass Phase 2. If your address is not included in Phase 1, please note that you must notify the City of your address no later than May 31, 2023 to ensure that your address is included in Phase 2. Unfortunately, any requests received after May 31, 2023 to include your address will not be included in Phase 2 of the internet buildout.
Current estimates from Spectrum relative to the anticipated date for start of construction as well as anticipated date for internet service from Spectrum are as follows (Note: these dates may differ from those previously provided by Spectrum due to construction delays beyond their control):

As with any project of similar scope, this timeframe is subject to change due to unforeseen construction delays. The City will make every effort to update residents as to any changes in this schedule.
If you have not already done so, please go to the City’s website, www.cityofwildwood.com, and locate the box at the bottom of the first page of our website noted as Internet Access Project Updates. If you click on this box, you will be able to enter your name, street address and email address to receive a direct email of each update when it is distributed. If you do not have access to the City’s website, please feel free to send your information via email to [email protected] and the City will make sure your name gets added to the list. Updates will also be included in the weekly E-Newsletter (e-newsletter signup), as well as being posted on the City’s Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter social media sites, and we will include a link to the Internet Access Project Updates page on the website for you to sign up for the email updates.
Finally, these updates will also be available in print, and they will be posted on the wall in the second-floor vestibule of City Hall, as well as at the City’s Al Foster, Community, Bluff View, Anniversary and Green Pines Parks.
We are very excited that we are now able to move forward with the City’s most important strategic goal for our residents. This project will take up to 24 months to complete, but at the end of this time period, every resident in Wildwood should have access to reliable, high-speed internet for their homes and businesses.
If you have any questions relative to the high-speed internet project, please feel free to reach out to Steve Cross, City Administrator.
Thank you.

City Council Passes New Fence Regulations
Probably, one (1) of the more constructed improvements to lots of all kinds are fences. Recently, the City Council passed new regulations in the City's Zoning Ordinance to address these structures, given the many new types, materials, sizes, and characteristics of them, including locations. The intent of these new regulations are to protect the character of Wildwood that everyone enjoys and appreciates, while not making them a too great of intrusion to our residents. For the report on these regulations, please click on the following link for more information about the regulations, permitting processes, and others - https://www.cityofwildwood.com/AgendaCenter/ViewFile/Item/34120?fileID=41007.

Tree Preservation and Management Practices in Wildwood
With Fall around the corner, many property owners are out in their yards/lots and doing clean-up and new plantings. If you are removing a tree or trees, the City does have regulations to protect "grand" types. These trees are those types that have grown to significant sizes. To ensure that a "Grand" tree is not removed, before inspection, the City asks that the property owner contact the Department of Planning and arrange a same or next-day inspection and authorization. It's easy and quick! You can contact the Department of Planning at (636) 458-0440 to set up that site visit. Thank you for your cooperation!

Watershed Erosion Task Force ... Cont.
Usgs Study Underway
Caulks Creek Watershed
The City of Wildwood's Watershed Erosion Task Force (WETF) has been seeking assistance from any and all sources to help it in understanding the extent of problems that many of the City's nine (9) watersheds are experiencing, with the intent that, once the causes of these problems are known, solutions can be developed for them. To this end, the United States Geological Survey (USGS) began a two (2) year long study of Caulks Creek on February 14, 2022. The study is intended to profile the damage in the creek, understand the unpredictable dynamics of storm events upon the creek, author potential solutions, and report on all of it to the community. Such a study will be a template for the other watersheds that define Wildwood in terms of approaches to preserve them, as well as across the country. More information can be obtained by clicking on this link: USGS Study.
The scientists from this agency have been in Caulks Creek several times, since February, working on the identification of its characteristics and collecting data to better understand flows, volumes, and other characteristics of the runoff that reaches it, after storm events. A summary of the steps completed to date was provided to the Task Force Members at its September 2022 meeting and can be viewed by clicking on this link: USGS Update.

St. Louis county election board
Election Judges Needed for 2023
In the upcoming April 4, 2023, General Municipal Election in St. Louis County, voters will be choosing candidates and deciding on ballot issues for various public entities. Election Judges and Student Election Judges are needed to administer such elections in Missouri.
The St. Louis County Election Board is accepting applications for people who are interested in serving as Election Judges for the April 4, 2023, Election. Additionally, the Election Board has an excellent High School Student Program that gives students an opportunity to work with veteran Election Judges providing hands on experience in learning how elections are conducted.
Election Judges play a pivotal role in making it possible for citizens to rightfully exercise the franchise on Election Day. A typical election may have approximately 65% of voters cast ballots on Election Day at over 200 polling places across St. Louis County. Election Judges set up the voting equipment at the polling location, manage the voting process, and secure the ballots for collection at the Election Board. They are truly the “backbone” of the electoral process.
Election Judges are awarded a financial stipend of $280 for their service. Students may receive a stipend of $170 or earn 16 community service hours.
