ST. LOUIS — St. Louis' legislative leader on Friday asked the public to vote on 20 ideas for spending the city's Rams settlement money.

The office of Aldermanic President Megan Green said that it had worked to narrow down more than 700 ideas submitted by residents since August, when it had a Brussels vendor launch an online engagement platform.

The announcement comes as city leaders have warmed to the idea of a city endowment for the Rams money, originally put forward in various forms by business group Greater St. Louis Inc., which said the city and two other governments could pool their money. A former city development official advocated setting up a loan fund. The city, St. Louis County and the Regional Convention and Sports Complex Authority, the entity that owns the Dome at America's Center, opted to divvy up the money.

You can find the ideas and vote on them here.
