<br />authorization to forward the letter. Please review the draft letter and let me know if you <br />disagree by August 21. <br /> <br />The Public Service Commission has proposed a new rule requiring extensive tree <br />cutting and record keeping by Ameren. There seems to be an understanding that <br />Ameren did not keep up with a reasonable schedule of tree trimming the last few years. <br />The draft rule appears to call for trimming/removing trees much more aggressively and <br />going on to private property to trim some trees within two years. St. Louis County <br />Municipal League Board President, Mayor of Hazelwood, T. R. Carr, sent a letter to the <br />PSC indicating that he had not had a chance to secure a board position on the matter. <br />He requested, however, that the Commission take a few weeks to explain the <br />implications to the public, allow the public to hear from utilities, and then make a <br />decision. There is widespread support for more tree trimming, under grounding and <br />better redundancy, but the scope and cost may need some review. Ameren also <br />forwarded a letter requesting the City ask the PSC to reconsider the mandate. I agree <br />with the League's assessment, but I will hold off responding until I receive direction from <br />Council. <br /> <br />The Dangerous Animal Citizen group forwarded minutes and their recommendation to <br />mirror the Olivette Ordinance. Both are attached. <br /> <br />*Reminder that the September 10 Council meeting is was moved to Tuesday, <br />September 4. <br /> <br />Upcoming Meetings and Events: <br /> <br />Saturday, August 18: <br />Monday, August 20: <br />Monday, August 20: <br />Friday, August 24: <br />Saturday, August 25: <br />Wed., August 29: <br /> <br />Tuesday, Sept. 4: <br />*Tuesday, Sept. 4: <br />Monday, Sept. 24: <br />Wednesday, Sept. 26: <br /> <br />Monday, Oct. 1: <br />Monday, Oct. 15: <br />Wed., October 24: <br /> <br />Monday, Nov. 5: <br />Tuesday, Nov. 27: <br /> <br />10:00 AM Police Dept Auction (west lot) <br />6:00 PM Special Council meeting <br />6:30 Study Session (Code Enforcement) EOC Room <br />5:30 PM Strategic Planning Session, Brookings Hall <br />8:30 AM to 12:30 PM Strategic Planning Session <br />7:00-9:00 PM Civic 101: Public Presentation on <br />Strategic Planning Initiatives By Julie Feier-EOC Rm. <br />5:30 Study Session (Collections) <br />6:30 Council Meeting <br />6:30 Council Meeting <br />7:00PM to 9:00 PM Civics 101: Public Presentation on <br />Ethics by Speaker Gerry Bruder-EOC Rm. <br />6:30 PM Council Meeting <br />6:30 Council Meeting <br />7:00 PM to 8:30 PM Civics1 01: Public Presentation on Do's <br />and Don'ts of being Public Servant by Attorney and civic <br />leader, Mondi Ghasedi-Council Chambers, 5th floor <br />6:30 PM Council Meeting <br />7:00 PM to 8:30 pm, Civics 101: Public Presentation on <br />Planning and Development by Community Development <br />Department Director Lehman Walker and Planning Staff- <br />EOC Rm. <br />
