Session 1828 <br />December 17, 2001 <br /> <br />plan. <br /> <br />The motion to approve carried unanimously. <br /> <br />CITIZEN COMMENTS: <br /> <br />Jim Reeves, 7107 Cornell, wished to raise an issue of concern in the University Park <br />Subdivision. He is a trustee. The concern is about duplex buildings being built with <br />only one entrance, a front entrance. After some consideration, the trustees decided that <br />this may require some additional investigation. He had a conversation with Fire Chief <br />(assistant) Joe Rice about a month ago. Chief Rice felt that the design was very <br />dangerous. Thero would be no means of escape if there was a fire in the front of the <br />building. It makes rescuing anyone from one of those buildings very difficult. He is <br />referring specifically to the duplex at the 7300 block of Amherst. He understands that <br />there will be a number of buildings that will be built in this fashion in the near future. He <br />also understands that under the BOCA code that it is legal. He would like to put the <br />Mayor and the City Council on notice that the University Park subdivision is against the <br />approval of this kind of building and would urge this Council to pass an ordinance <br />making the BOCA code slightly more strict and require at least two entrances to those <br />apartment buildings. <br /> <br />Mr. Schoomer recommended to Mr. Reeve to amend their subdivision indenture to <br />prohibit those things that they do not like. Mr. Reeve appreciates the suggestion and <br />will certainly take it into consideration. <br /> <br />CITY CLERK'S DOCKET: <br /> <br />BILLS FOR SECOND AND THIRD READING: <br /> <br />BILL 8571 - AMENDING CHAPTER 2.62 OF THE UNIVERSITY CITY <br />MUNICIPAL CODE, RELATING TO THE POLICE AND FIREFIGHTER'S <br />RETIREMENT SYSTEM, BY REPEALING SECTION 2.62.150 THEREOF, <br />RELATING TO RETIREMENT BENEFITS GENERALLY-SCHEDULE, AND <br />ENACTING IN LIEU THEREOF A NEW SECTION TO BE KNOWN AS <br />"SECTION 2.62.150 RETIREMENT BENEFITS GENERALLY-SCHEDULE," <br />THEREBY AMENDING SAID SECTION SO AS TO INCREASE THE <br />MONTHLY BENEFIT TO CERTAIN RETIREES WHO RETIRED PRIOR TO <br />JULY 1,2000, BY TWENTY-FIVE DOLLARS ($25) EFFECTIVE JANUARY 1, <br />2002. <br /> <br />The bill was given its second reading. <br />The bill was given its third reading. <br /> <br /> <br />
