Sidewalks, fire house and other main issues will come up in the August meeting.

Often, the Ladue City Council deals with big picture issues. They may be faced with discussions about new sidewalks; commercial development or even plans to build new fire houses.

The council approved by voice vote 5-0 the installation of a new fire…
