Mayor Arnold and some council members did consider putting the matter up for a public vote on a future ballot. Eagles are coming to Enterprise Center with Steely Dan and we’ve got tickets! The potential referendum would ask if city revenue should be designated for flood buyouts. Some Webster Groves locals at the meeting told the city to accept FEMA's offer.

The cause is still under investigation.The two mostly wooden hangars – each is 17 stories tall, 1,000 feet long and 300 feet wide – were quickly built at the base to house 12 blimps to patrol the West Coast against Japanese submarines.
