And it would urge the city to hold a nonbinding referendum on selling the airport and support efforts in St. Charles, Jefferson and St. Louis counties to poll their own voters.

But Trakas put his airport resolution on hold after Adolphus Pruitt, president of the NAACP in St. Louis, told the council that the Airport Advisory Working Group posted all of its records online on its website, fly314.com.

Pruitt noted that Trakas’ resolution said “there’s no documents, meeting minutes, economic impact studies, accounting reports or anything available, but if you go to fly314.com, everything about the airport and the working group is posted online.”

Trakas proposed the resolution as leaders of St. Charles and St. Louis counties said they were supporting a move to explore regional governance of the airport. The St. Louis County Port Authority may vote as early as next month to begin the process of hiring an outside contractor to conduct a study.
