Session 1836 <br />April 8, 2002 <br /> <br />EXECUTIVE SESSION: <br /> <br />Mr. Wagner moved to adjourn to executive session, after the study session meeting <br />following the regular session this evening, under RSMo 610.021 (2) to discuss legal and <br />personnel matters. Mr. Sharpe seconded the motion. The meeting will be in Room 6, <br />2® floor of City Hall at 8:00p.m. The roll call vote was as follows: AYES: Ms. Colquitt, <br />Mr. Munkel, Mr. Wagner, Mr. Lieberman, Mr. Schoomer, Mr. Sharpe and Mayor Adams. <br />NAYS: none. <br /> <br />ACKNOWLEDGEMENT: <br /> <br />Mayor Adams noted that the Council had been presented with the City's latest financial <br />audit and that this would be dealt with in due time as well as a study dealing with traffic <br />patterns. <br /> <br />COMMENTS FROM MR. SHARPE REGARDING RECENT ELECTION: <br /> <br />Mr. Sharpe wanted it noted that he was very upset that the Board of Election <br />Commissioners decided to move one of the University City polling places to Pagedale. <br />The University Forest Nursing Home did not deny them permission to use their facilities. <br />The Board of Election Commissioners arbitrarily moved the site, because the nursing <br />home was in receivership. They also said that they could not find any other building in <br />University City for his polling place to vote. He is still very unhappy about this decision. <br />Mayor Adams stated that the Board of Election Commissioners evidently shifted polling <br />places without notification in a number of other cities as well. Mr. Sharpe replied that he <br />is also suggesting that they change the election notification form with the polling place <br />information on it when they change places, because many people take it for granted <br />that they will continue to go to the very same place each year. <br /> <br />COMMENTS FOR EXITING COUNCILMEMBER PAUL SCHOOMER: <br /> <br />Mayor Adams wished to thank Mr. Schoomer for his many years of service to the City, <br />his friendship and love. He has been a valued member of the Council and a valued <br />friend of his for many years. He is his buddy and he wanted to thank him for being his <br />friend. <br /> <br />Mr. Wagner wished to sincerely second the comments by the Mayor. He considered <br />Mr. Schoomer one of the heroes of University City and he has been one of the moving <br />forces in the rebirth of the Loop area. He has risked his capital and spent his life for the <br />City and he is proud to call him a friend. He wished him much luck in his future <br />endeavors. <br /> <br />Mr. Munkel said that he considered Mr. Schoomer, his fellow ward member, his mentor <br />and friend. He appreciates everything that he has done for him and the City over these <br /> <br />7 <br /> <br /> <br />
