Wrap: St. Charles County Republican Tom Dempsey says the plan's approval requires a Senate confirmation and the police union's OK.

He says the Senate needs to confirm a new member to the St. Louis police board who's supportive of collective bargaining rights.

The board would need to approve those rights and win over the police union that wants them.

Dempsey says he'll start the process Monday.

But local control isn't a done deal.

A Democratic St. Louis area senator who's opposed earlier versions of the plan says the union has to sign off for the deal to get through.

Lawmakers have a week left to get it done.

Wrap: The police union wants collective bargaining rights, but the current police board is opposed.

That would change if the Senate confirms Tom Irwin to the board.

He's Gov. Jay Nixon's appointment as the board's new fifth member.

Mayor Francis Slay's spokesman, Jeff Rainford, spells it out.

Senators say Irwin's confirmation will come up for a vote Monday.

The police board would then hold an emergency meeting on collective bargaining.

The urgency comes because there are only five days left in the legislative session to get a deal in place.

Wrap: Missouri's House has approved the local control bill, sending it back to the Senate.

But the bill won't move forward until the police union gets the collective bargaining rights it wants.

There's a deal in the works to make that happen.

The Senate is scheduled to vote Monday to confirm a new police board member who supports giving the union those rights.

Appointee Tom Irwin would tip the board in favor of a collective bargaining deal.

A St. Louis Democratic senator who's opposed previous versions of the bill says the police union's OK is needed to get the bill through.

All of this has to happen in the next week before the end of the legislative session.
