Session 1889 June 23, 2003 Mayor Adams commended Ms. Richman for her efforts. Loretta Bryant, 7863 Milan Avenue, suggested that Parkview Gardens apply to other sources for grants and that the City redirect their Community Development Block Grant funding to pay the assessment for the Mendell Sewer repair. Mr. Ollendorff stated that it was too late reallocate funds and explained that some of the area was eligible, where another portion would not be. Mayor Adams attempted to explain how contracts and the CDBG grant process cycle worked to help her understand this issue better. Ms. Welsch requested that Ms. Bryant inform Mr. Ollendorff if the two hundred dollar to three hundred dollar ($200-$300) assessment for storm drain repair posed an undue hardship on any of the residents. She would be interested in knowing of any hardship. Ms. Welsch noted that the City attempted to get this assessment down very Iow in order to acknowledge that other neighbors have had to make payments in the past. Mrs. Elsie Glickert, 6712 Etzel Avenue, wanted to know when University City would actually receive the monies. She reported several fissures in the streets of Sutter Avenue between Bartmer and Olive Street Road. Mr. Ollendorff replied that the monies were released in late December or early January. Ms. Glickert asked if references to Public Service meant police protection. Mr. Ollendorff stated that guidelines prevent usage of the grants for day-to-day policing operations. It can only be used for community policing programs. Ms. Glickert referred to the Northeast Sector Comprehensive Plan and asked for concentration on paving alleys. Ms. Colquitt asked about the status of Rev. Huston's request for funds for a homeless shelter during the previous year. The City Manager responded that funding guidelines required that food programs be associated with a housing component and if he recalls correctly, he believes that Reverend Huston's program did not have this needed component. He offered to check on the matter and get back to her. Ms. Colquitt would very much like to allocate some funds to his organization. Mayor Adams called for the vote and the motion carried unanimously. AGENDA ITEM # 9 - Liquor License - 7930 Olive: Frank Ollendorff recommended the approval of a license to sell alcoholic beverages by the drink for consumption at the former location of Vietnamese Star Restaurant. He advised the Council that it might wish to restrict the initial license to beer and wine to the same as the former business in that building. Typically an operation would be observed for 6 to 12 months before the granting of a full liquor license although exceptions had been made for a business with a high level of successful experience at another location Page 9
