And she has multiple emails from Mr. Walker; that she will be more than happy to produce, if need be, that specifically say if themajority of Council allows her inquiry, she can have access to the information being requested. There were times when she asked Mr. Walker if the City Attorney could attend or the Fire Chief and the answer was no. However, there is no doubt in her mind that everyone knew what was going on because she constantly complained and was very loud and vociferous about it. But on the other hand, she thinks the Mayor is absolutely right. If a member of Council wants to ask a question, that's okay. But if staffis being asked to prepare or research something, then it surpasses the definition of an inquiry and becomes an order. Councilmember Carr informed Mayor Welsch that if it turns out that any of her statements regarding the newsletter were untrue, she would certainly be willing to apologize for her mistake. We are just reaffirming what we are all subject to. Mayor Welsch stated the point she was trying to make is that the comment regarding the chief elected official had comefrom MSD and not her. CouncilmemberMcMahon read the following excerpt taken from the Mayor's newsletter into the record. "In fact, as chief elected official of University City, I was invited to a meeting on October 15, 2014, along with City Manager, Lehman Walker."He stated there are no quotations or attributions to indicate that this comment was made by Lance LeComb. But, even if Mr. LeComb did make this mistake, that would have been the time to inform him that U City has a Council-Manager form of government; that the Mayor does not run the City; that the Mayor is not the chief elected official, and then suggest that the entire Council be invited to the meeting because collectively they act as a whole. And perhaps, if those actions had been taken, the situation that occurred with MSD on nd May 22could have been avoided. CouncilmemberMcMahon stated all his motion is about, is the need for Council to support and follow the Charter and Council's Rules. CouncilmemberCrow stated while the Mayor certainly is entitled to sayshe's here to protect the rights of Council as often as she'd like, that is simply not the case. And frankly, he doesn't believe it is the role of anyone sitting on this dais. He stated Council's role is to serve the people under a form of government established a long time ago. And the failure to abide by these rules is totally disrespectful to the City Managerand awkward for his managers and directors. So whether each member of Council is in agreement or not, his hope is that everyone will take caution and adhere to the language set forth in the Charter. CouncilmemberJennings stated he merely wished to confirm that Councilmember McMahon's motion represented an affirmation of the rules contained in the Charterand not a change? CouncilmemberMcMahon stated that was correct. Voice vote on Councilmember Carr's amended motion carried unanimously, with the exception of Mayor Welsch who voted in opposition. CITIZEN PARTICIPATION (continued ifneeded) Sonya Pointer, 8039 Canton Avenue, University City, MO Ms. Pointer expressed her opposition to Options 1 and 2 for the proposed sewage tanks in residential neighborhoods. MSD has gone from the tanks cannot be located underground to they can be located slightly underground. Conflicting comments such as these, make it hard to trust anything they say. Page 12 of 16
