Issues
Explore the issues that drive our movement.
Issue 1
Possible Undisclosed Financial Interest & Property Ownership
Based on the existence of an outstanding mortgage and a special warranty deed through one of the Mayor’s LLC’s, Galt House, we have reason to believe that Mayor Dan Borgmeyer has financial interest and may possibly benefit from the development of the Katy Trail Place Luxury Townhomes, currently under development by Katy Trail Development & NJL Custom Homes. Mayor Dan did not abstain from voting at a Planning & Zoning Meeting on this project. He has not yet clarified his ownership (or lack thereof) of the townhome lots.
Issue 2
Possible Failure to Follow Charter in Hiring Process
By failing to appoint a city official directly, as shown in the closed session Council meeting minutes from October 1, 2024, the Mayor neither directly hired the Director of IT, nor required the Council to vote to approve the hiring of the Director of IT.
Issue 3
Possible Disclosure of Private City Information and Confirmed Knowledge of Data Center Land Ownership by Relatives
In August of 2019, Mayor Dan was cc’d on emails from a (at the time non-contracted city consultant) private citizen, Adam Glosier. These emails discussed plans of developing the land around 370 (better known for being the proposed Cumulus data center site) and named the Hollrah family in particular (a relative of Mayor Dan’s). These emails represent a breach in privacy and a clear indication that Mayor Dan was, and is, aware of his relation to the land’s owners.
Issue 4
Possible Acceptance of Gifts in Connection with Appointments, Kickbacks and Secret Commissions
On March 6, 2023, Adam Glosier (mentioned above in Issue 3) donated $5,000 to Mayor Dan's 2023 Mayoral Campaign for the City of St. Charles. At this time, Adam Glosier was under (and is still under) a consulting contract with the City of St. Charles through Scout Realty Group.
Issue 5
Possible Conflict of Interest, Engaging in Private Interest, Disclosing Private Interest in City Legislation
Mayor Dan has appointed both the father of Adam Glosier (see Issues 3 and 4) and the uncle of Adam Glosier to the C3 & Comprehensive Plan Citizen's Advisory Task Force and the Parks & Recreation Board, respectively, where both of these individuals currently serve. Adam Glosier remains under active contract with the City of St. Charles through Scout Realty Group, which has an annual consulting contract with the city in the amount of $72,000.
Issue 6
Possible Violation of City Charter, Failure to Reappoint Parks & Recreation Board Members
The terms of the following members of the St. Charles Parks & Recreation Board expired in May of 2025: Mike Ryan, Ann Zerre, and Larry Muench. No alternate members for appointment have yet been before Council for approval by the Mayor. The Charter requires suggested alternates within 30 days of a term's expiration and/or within 60 days of a term's vacancy.
