VERSION 1 <br /> <br /> <br />Mr. Paulus encouraged the Council to maintain one of University City's last standing <br />cultural resources. <br /> <br /> <br />COUNCIL COMMENTS <br />Ms. Brot asked to obtain the Council’s approval for asking Ms. Feier to proceed with <br />preparing an ordinance incorporating a lease for the Sutter-Meyer Society. Ms. Brot and <br />Mr. Price directed the City Manager to negotiate a preliminary contract with the Sutter- <br />Meyer Society for a lease. The Council agreed that there was no conflict of interest for Ms. <br />Ricci to participate and vote on any Sutter-Meyer motions. Ms. Ricci expressed her <br />approval to request the City Manager to proceed with drafting a lease for the Sutter-Meyer <br />Society in renting the historic farmhouse. With Ms. Ricci’s approval, a majority agreed to <br />have this process begin. <br /> <br />Mr. Price asked Ms. Rachel Watson, Student Representative, why youths use the City <br />streets as their recreational area or walking on the streets when sidewalks existed. He <br />also inquired about the lack of sport activities for children fourteen and over. Ms. Brot <br />asked Ms. Watson to bring back student comments on activities in which they would like to <br />have available. <br /> <br />Ms. Brot talked about the Arts & Letters photo show’s success and the sculpture series <br />locations around the City. She said the Arts and Letters Commission will not be able to <br />present as many concerts this year due to budget constraints and encouraged any <br />monetary donations. Ms. Brot also encouraged everyone to write Congress on the <br />minimum wage bill and how it negatively affects Cities with police and fire protection. Ms. <br />Brot encouraged Council to present a report on what they learned from their travel to State <br />and Federal Conferences. In this way, the Council can share the highlights of what was <br />learned. Ms. Brot invited all to the Spring Festival on May 6 at the Green Center. <br /> <br />Mr. Glickert asked the Park’s Department to develop more local use of University City’s <br />fields for baseball. <br /> <br />Mr. Sharpe, Jr. asked if the City could assist in helping students find summer jobs. <br /> <br />Meeting was adjourned at 8:05 p.m. <br /> <br />Joyce Pumm, City Clerk <br /> <br /> <br />
