Lafayette Park ________________ What is the LPIAB? Rules of Procedures Schedule Current Projects Current Board Members		What is the LPIAB? Why it’s the Lafayette Park Implementation Advisory Board, of course. The creation of the Lafayette Park Implementation Advisory Board was mandated as part of the Lafayette Park Master Plan. The nine-member panel consists of neighborhood representatives, representatives of City agencies, a landscape architect, and a planner/architect. The Advisory Board’s role is to do just that—“advise.” Any individuals, private groups, city agencies, etc. that have a project they are interested in doing in the Park come before the Board to receive feedback on their proposal, get guidance on how to work with needed city agencies, etc. The Board does not propose projects nor does it fund projects. It hears projects as they come to the Board. According to the review process developed with the City of St. Louis, the Board reviews any specific project proposal a minimum of three times, providing feedback as needed regarding additional details/public input/changes in plans, etc. At the end of those three reviews, the Board can vote to recommend the project to the City or to not recommend the project to the City. It is important to remember that the Board is an “Advisory Board” only. Since Lafayette Park is a City park, the City has the final “decision-making authority” regarding any project in the Park. The City seeks the Board’s input and feedback to make sure any project they are considering meets the goals of the Lafayette Park Master Plan and enhances the Park for all users. That feedback, combined with other information provided by appropriate city agencies involved in the project (i.e.: Cultural Resources, Board of Public Service, etc.), allows the City to make its final decision on any project. The Board meets quarterly with the ability to call additional meetings as needed. All meetings are open to the public and public notice is provided through the City of St. Louis Parks Department. The Board encourages the public to attend its meetings to learn more about projects currently before the Board and offer their opinions on those projects.

What is the LPIAB?

Why it’s the Lafayette Park Implementation Advisory Board, of course. The creation of the Lafayette Park Implementation Advisory Board was mandated as part

of the Lafayette Park Master Plan. The nine-member panel consists of neighborhood representatives, representatives of City agencies, a landscape architect, and

a planner/architect. The Advisory Board’s role is to do just that—“advise.” Any individuals, private groups, city agencies, etc. that have a project they are interested

in doing in the Park come before the Board to receive feedback on their proposal, get guidance on how to work with needed city agencies, etc. The Board does not

propose projects nor does it fund projects. It hears projects as they come to the Board.

According to the review process developed with the City of St. Louis, the Board reviews any specific project proposal a minimum of three times, providing feedback

as needed regarding additional details/public input/changes in plans, etc. At the end of those three reviews, the Board can vote to recommend the project to the

City or to not recommend the project to the City. It is important to remember that the Board is an “Advisory Board” only. Since Lafayette Park is a City park, the City

has the final “decision-making authority” regarding any project in the Park. The City seeks the Board’s input and feedback to make sure any project they are

The Board meets quarterly with the ability to call additional meetings as needed. All meetings are open to the public and public notice is provided through the City
