Session 1501, Minutes Page 11 August 14, 1989 to take neoessary actions to adopt a mere randum of ~erstanding with Local 2665 International Association of Fire Fighters, representing the City's fire- fighters. Mr. Price moved approval. Mr. Schuman seconded the motion, which carried unanimously. Ms. Genies Jordan, 7035 M~_l~ose, said she was concerned about several new Sec- tion 8 hc~es that were built on vacant lots in her neighborhood. She asked how ma~y Section 8 houses were in the ~77j_v~ Ward cc~pared to the other wards. Mr. Ollendorff said about 85% of the Section 8 homes were in the Second Ward, 10-11% were in the Third Ward, and 4-5% were in the First Ward. He noted that most of the vacant lots in the City are too small to build on. Ms. Jordan wanted to ~ statistics, and Mr. Ollendorff said the Deputy City Manager has a map which designates the blocks (but not exact addresses) on which Section 8 homes are located. He noted that the n~np is updated ead~ fall. MAYORAL AND OOUNCI~ ~ Mayor Majeru~ said she had received no replies fro~ c~uncilmembers regarding a citizen's request to d~ange the animal o .rdJ_nance to all~ more than two pets per household, therefore, she assumed counc~ did not wish to make any change. Oouncilmembers did net contest this assumption. Mayor Majerus noted that Council has been approached by the St. Louis Real Es- tate Board to alter the city's law on' real estate solicitation. She urged the Council to read the info~Tnation recently sent to them, since a Board represen- tative plans to attend the next Council meeting to address this matter. Mr. Ollendorff said the Board would like the City to allow mailings, phone calls, and door-to-door solicitation, all of which are now prohibited. Mayor Najerus asked the Council to send their c~t~_nts on this subject to her. Mr. Price said there has been a great deal of cord?~sion regarding the delivery schedule for trash bags. Mr. Olle_ndorff said Mr. Price's constituents should call the Sanitation Division for information, however, he noted deliveries are scheduled every 13 weeks, or four times a y~ar. Mr. Price c~,m~nted on the very successful "National Night Out" August 8, in which many neighborhoods participated, incb~ng a new Third Ward block unit. Mrs. Schuman noted that a number of First Ward neighborhoods also participated this year in this excellent endeavor. Mayor Majerus adjourned the meeting at 9:04 p.m. Dolores A. Miller, city Clerk
