some of the bills could be forgiven. Ms. Straatman said the City had not addressed it <br />progressively for a long time, so many of the bills just continued to get larger. <br />M. COUNCIL COMMENTS <br />Ms. Brot said she attended a program called “First Suburbs” which offers a low cost loan <br />program for people in the Kansas City area, who have small homes and want to remain <br />in the community with a modernized home. A second meeting was organized by the St. <br />Louis County Economic Council to discuss and analyze how this program would work in <br />helping people modernize their small homes. The group suggested having low-interest <br />loans up to $75,000. If anyone is interested in attending the next meeting, please <br />th <br />contact her. Ms. Brot also stated that anyone wanting to vote in the April 8 election <br />needs to register by March 1. She then reminded Council and residents of the pre-filed <br />bills in Jefferson City and the need to let our representatives know how we feel.
