Session 1870 MINUTES OF THE UNIVERSITY CITY COUNCIL March 15, 2003 At a duly posted study session of the City Council of University City held in Room 6, second floor of City Hall, Saturday, March 15, 2003, Mayor Pro Tem Wayne Munkel called the meeting to order at 8:00 a.m. In addition to the Mayor Pro Tem, the following members of Council were present: Mr. Robert Wagner, Mr. Larry Lieberman, Ms. Shelley Welsch, and Mr. Arthur Sharpe, Jr. Mayor Joseph Adams and Councilmember Cassandra Colquitt were excused. Also attending was Mr. Frank Ollendorff. AGENDA #1 - PROP K. The City Manager, Frank Ollendorff, informed Council that the contract with the architect and the County funding agreement for the fitness center baseline expansion were signed. In response to questions about restrictions on the use of the funds, Mr. Ollendorff reiterated the options available to Council when the application was submitted, the mechanics of the County's decision-making process and the subsequent restrictions on the grant monies. Mr. Munkel stated that citizens need to be informed about other grants that may address some of the current complaints about the fitness center. After discussion about the Park Commission's role in the Prop K Committee's activities, Mr. Wagner suggested that the Committee prioritize concepts, the Park Commission endorse the Prop K Committee's work and make changes where needed. Ms. Welsch proposed including the survey in the newsletter and stated that even though she liked the new changes to the website, she would like the survey to have its own button in order for it to remain prominently displayed. She also emphasized her commitment to accessibility of the facilities by all citizens. It was the sense of the Council to wait for more citizen input before making decisions about recommendations.
