Please contact <br />Assistant City Manager Petree Eastman with your feedback at 505-8535. In addition to <br />a law degree from SLU and a Planning Masters from UC Berkeley, Ms. Eastman has <br />over 10 years of experience dealing directly with the St. Louis City and Kansas City <br />school desegregation programs and has extensive knowledge on school matters. <br /> <br />NE <br />The February 12 study session will focus on recommendations in the <br />Neighborhood Plan <br />to encourage redevelopment, modernize housing stock and <br />promote infill. Staff has a recommendation to purchase County owned lots in a test <br />block area and package for resale with design and development criteria. The proposed <br />test block is the 6600 block of Crest and Bartmer just east of Kingsland. There are <br />roughly five undeveloped lots under County control we would propose for purchase and <br />redevelopment. During the session, we will review impacts to the neighborhood, real <br />estate market, costs involved -including review of existing liens, current maintenance <br />and filing fees to purchase and market to a private developer. <br /> <br />parking agreement with WU <br />The revised for the Forsyth lot is attached for your review. <br />Our previous concerns have been addressed. Based on your feedback, I plan to place <br />the agreement on the February 12 consent agenda. <br /> <br />The Public Works Director has been serving on a review committee to select the <br />Delmar Loop Trolley <br />consultant for the project. She has provided a summary update <br />on the consultant selection. There is also an update from Mr. Fred Brot regarding the <br />open house held during the Ice Carnival. In addition, I have attached a copy of the <br />memo from the St. Louis County Circuit Clerk notifying us of the Application for Ballot to <br />establish a Transportation Development District. We will forward the appropriate ballot <br /> <br />
