Session 1815 <br />June 25, 2001 <br /> <br />Herschel Asner, 630 Trinity, represents the University City Senior Service Board. They <br />are requesting non-essential transportation for the seniors. They currently provide <br />medical transportation from the senior's home to the medical facility. Seniors often ask <br />him why they will not provide transportation to social events. Despite the generous <br />support that they receive from University City, they operate at a small deficit and they <br />just don't have the money to pay the drivers. They are requesting $5,000 to pay the <br />drivers for the extra time taking the seniors to social events. It would allow them to offer <br />these types of services on a regular and ongoing basis. <br /> <br />Mary Hart, 6901 Cornell, stated that she was here as chairperson of the Senior Issues <br />Committee under U. City East. She is here to urge the Council to reconsider allocating <br />$5,000 to the Senior Service Board as just presented by Herschel Asner and also <br />$10,000 to hire a senior planner to determine the needs of seniors in the community. <br />Seniors are a vital resource and deserve and need our support. <br /> <br />Sharon Hales, 8115 Roxbourgh, 63105, stated that she is employed by Oasis. Oasis is <br />a service provider that was asked to be a part of the U. City East's Senior Issues <br />Committee. U. City East is a voluntary committee and a lot of hard work has been done <br />with many tangible results, but there is just so much they can do on a voluntary basis. <br />She stressed that it is very important to hire senior needs assessment planner. They <br />have asked for grant monies from surrounding organizations and businesses. <br />Partnerships are being developed to broaden interests of the seniors. They would like <br />to see a full time senior coordinator hired at one point. Ms. Hart stated that she <br />dropped by a packet that summarized their accomplishments and grant efforts with the <br />City Clerk on Friday that she hoped everyone has an opportunity to go through. <br /> <br />Mayor Adams closed the public hearing at 8:11 p.m. <br /> <br />AGENDA #5 - FINAL SUBDIVISION PLAT - 7836 FORSYTH: <br /> <br />Mr. Ollendorff recommends final approval of a final plat for the Clayton Land Company <br />property adjacent to the Ritz Carleton Hotel lying primarily within the City of Clayton <br />with a small area in University City. Property lines change only within the City of <br />Clayton. Thus, there is no change in that part of the plat lying within University City. <br />This boundary revision results in establishment of one parcel of land available for future <br />development beneficial to both cities. No development is currently proposed. <br /> <br />Mr. Wagner moved approval. Mr. Munkel seconded the motion, which carried <br />unanimously. <br /> <br />9 <br /> <br /> <br />
