<br />L. CITIZENS’ COMMENTS <br />Richard Dockett, 6844 Crest Ave <br />Mr. Dockett asked if there was a plan to hire an economic developer as he felt the <br />Economic Development department was doing a great job. Ms. Watson said there <br />were no current plans and was not in the FY 09 budget. <br /> <br />Anne Marie Kiddon, 7348 Wellington Ave. <br />Ms. Kiddon asked if the minutes from the Council meetings could be available at the <br />Commons. She agreed that the door knob solicitation for encouraging recycling was <br />the best idea. Ms. Kiddon suggested that it could be done quarterly with the door <br />hangers. One side to say what can be recycled as a reminder and the other side <br />stating how much it has been in savings so far to the City. Ms. Kiddon reminded Mr. <br />Price that he represented all the residents in University City. She felt that the <br />concern should be first the fear of losing residents, if the City keeps raising its taxes. <br />Ms. Kiddon said that if the City was strong and balanced, it would attract good <br />people to work here rather than just because of its compensation. She <br />complimented Ms. Ricci on her due diligence, for all the citizens. Ms. Kiddon <br />recommended fellow councilmember apologize for personal accusations toward Ms. <br />Ricci. <br /> <br />Elsie Glickert, 6712 Etzel <br />Ms. Glickert stated that the Charter needs to get into more hands, possibly all <br />members on boards or commissions be given a copy. She thanked Councilmember. <br />Ricci and Councilmember Wagner for all their research. Ms. Glickert expressed her <br />concern of the Fire Chief using City vehicle to travel to and from home. Ms. Glickert <br />said that there is an ordinance stating he is to be a resident of University City for his <br />position. She also requested that the Heman Park Pool would not close early this <br />summer. She stated her dissatisfaction with the female guards’ swimsuits this year. <br /> <br />M. COUNCIL COMMENTS <br />Mr. Sharpe, Jr. thanked Ms. Watson for her diligence on the Council Chamber’s <br />shades and wanted to know how soon. <br /> <br />Mr. Crow said that there have been lengthy conversations on the compensation plan <br />and the message is out for the administration to begin deliberation on a variety of <br />fronts as health insurance and merit raises. He can see a couple more added to it <br />as where the turnovers are occurring and more information concerning the Civil <br />Service Board as Ms. Ricci had addressed. <br /> <br />Mayor Adams stated that the Council will not go into an Executive session as Ms. <br />Ricci was excused early. <br /> <br /> <br />Joyce Pumm, City Clerk <br />
