Session 1717, Minutes 9 <br />March 16, 1998 <br /> <br />CITIZEN COMMENTS: <br /> <br />Ms. Elsie Glickert, 6712 Etzel, is here to speak in favor of placing a half barricade at <br />Sutter and Etzel. This was requested to stop the unwanted and disrupting eighteen <br />wheelers, of which she also came to Council to discuss in December. The barricade <br />was also brought before the Traffic Commission. They circulated a petition in favor of <br />the barricade. Mrs. Glickert submitted the signatures to the City Clerk. Thirty three <br />families would like to see the barricade installed. The City says that the barricade <br />would be financially unfeasible. She wished to request an account of this statement. <br />Mrs. Glickert also stated that there was no sign at the Ferguson Avenue bridge. <br /> <br />Ms. Jackie Grosklos, 700 Yale, represents families with young children in the University <br />Heights subdivision. This group is very concerned with several playgrounds not being <br />safe, especially Lewis Park playground. They understand that this playground is last on <br />the list for improvements. They do not wish for a temporary fix, but for a long term <br />upgrade. They need financial support from the City. <br /> <br />Mr. Schoomer and Mr. Wagner both stated that the Director of Parks had been asked <br />for a budget estimate of improvement expenditures for the necessary upgrade to Lewis <br />Park playground at least a month ago and that it had not been submitted. Mr. Rose <br />was directed to remind the Park Director for this information. Mr. Ware also wanted to <br />know how much money was needed. <br /> <br />PERSONNEL AND POLICE REPORT: <br /> <br />Mayor Adams noted the personnel report for the week ending March 6, 1998, and the <br />police report for March 5, 1998 and ordered both filed. <br /> <br />CITY CLERK'S DOCKET: <br /> <br />BILL FOR SECOND AND THIRD READING: <br /> <br />BILL NO. 8369 - RENEWING AN EXISTING FRANCHISE AND GRANTING FOR A <br />PERIOD OF TEN (10) YEARS TO AMEREN UE COMPANY, A CORPORATION, ITS <br />SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS, THE FRANCHISE, RIGHT, PERMISSION AND <br />AUTHORITY TO CONSTRUCT, RECONSTRUCT, EXCAVATE FOR, PLACE, <br />MAINTAIN, OPERATE, AND USE ITS POLES, TOWERS, WIRES, CONDUITS, <br />CONDUCTORS, MANHOLES, UNDERGROUND VAULTS, AND OTHER <br />EQUIPMENT, AND APPLIANCES IN CONNECTION THEREWITH, IN, ALONG, <br />ACROSS, OVER AND UNDER THE STREETS, ROADS, ALLEYS, SIDEWALKS, <br />SQUARES, BRIDGES, AND OTHER PUBLIC PLACES IN THE CITY OF UNIVERSITY <br />CITY AND AREAS DEDICATED TO THE CITY FOR PUBLIC UTILITY USE, FOR THE <br />PURPOSE OF TRANSMITTING, FURNISHING AND DISTRIBUTING ELECTRICITY <br /> <br /> <br />
