The Creve Coeur License Bureau, located in the Olive Arcade Plaza, is not technically a government office. It is independently contracted by the State of Missouri Department of Revenue to issue and renew driver's licenses, titles and registration for motor vehicles, outboard motors and boats. This office is operated by Ryker Enterprises Inc.
Depending on the weather, golfers can take to the 18-hole course that has been serving this community for more than four decades. When the ice and snow begin to hit the ground, the club remains open to host events such as wedding ceremonies, receptions and banquets.
In addition to fire suppression and paramedic services, Metro West Fire Protection District teams also assist with technical rescues and speciality services. Every firefighting team responding in the fire trucks includes a certified paramedic, making the district's service akin to having an ambulance team present.
The district is comprised of five fire stations, with two located in Wildwood. Station 3 in Wildwood serves as the administrative headquarters. The other stations are in Ballwin, Castlewood, and Ellisville. The district focuses on injury prevention through a variety of community education and support programs, and also conducts inspections and issues permits.
Metro West participates in the Greater St. Louis area Councils Exploring Program (Post 9308) teaching 14 to 18 year olds about careers in fire and emergency services.
The district's daily mission is to prevent emergencies. It also makes a special effort to identify any residents who have mobility challenges, and invests its best thinking into strategic emergency management and preparation.
The last daily mail collection for this post office is 4pm Monday through Friday, and 11am on Saturday. The office is closed on Sunday.
A community bulletin board is available in the post office's lobby area.
Operated by the Missouri Department of Conservation, the Jay Henges Shooting Range and Outdoor Education Center has ranges for rifles, pistols and bow and arrow. There also is a shotgun patterning range and a trap shooting range. The facilities are available for individual or group use.
The education center is designed to help the public become better and safer hunters. There are a variety of outdoor skills programs, including courses in master firearms, archery, and map and compass reading.
Most of the city government departments are located in City Hall, which is in the heart of downtown St. Charles. Departments in City Hall include the Community Development Department (room 303, 636-949-3222), which handles code enforcement ranging from overgrown weeds and graffiti to overflowing dumpsters and mosquitos. Residents can find the city clerk there, who can register voters or provide information about filing for office.
The St. Charles City Council holds council meetings the first and third Tuesday of the month at 7pm and for a work session, on the second Tuesday of the month at 7pm. The various appointed boards and commissions also meet at City Hall.
