Introduced by Ms. Ricci to add Bill to agenda 6. BILL 8974 — An ordinance approving a settlement agreement with U.S. Cellular. Mayor Adams asked Ms. Ricci to sit on the St. Louis County Municipal League oversight committee which would be the governing body of the expenditures of the monies assigned by various municipalities. Ms. Ricci said she could not with good conscious serve on this commission, due to the way it received its funding. She stated that she was opposed to having the acceptance of the cellular settlement be combined with an allocation to the St. Louis Municipality League under one ordinance and would have to decline the offer. Ms. Ricci objected to any assignment to St. Louis County Municipal League on Bill 8974, U.S. Cellular settlement agreement with consideration of the financial condition of the City. She felt it inappropriate for the City to give to any not-for-profit or for-profit organization that does not tell Council specifically how the money will be used. Ms. Brot stated that it is more than the City just having enough money. She stated the City needed protection of not having money taken away from the City by the State which would be provided by the St. Louis County Municipal League. Mayor Adams said the City Manager passed out two potential versions of this bill: one with just the acceptance of the settlement from AT&T Cellular and the second proposed bill had the acceptance of the settlement along with a blank amount to be allocated to the St. Louis County Municipal League. Mayor Adams said the question before the Council was which bill would be introduced. Ms. Ricci stated that the only bill before them now is Bill 8974 without any assignment to the St. Louis County Municipal League. She also asked that the records reflect that Mayor Adams is the Vice President of the St. Louis County Municipal League Board. She felt Mayor Adams position on the St. Louis County Municipal League Board should preclude him from voting on this issue.
