Session 1925 <br />June 21,2004 <br /> <br />was a large problem and if it recently started and Ms. Brot asked for additional <br />information about the problem. Ms. Bryant said it was a small problem that could <br />become a large one. <br /> <br />Wayne Munkel, 7543 Gannon Avenue, came to say that more firefighters were needed <br />in University City. Then he referred to a recent issue where a developer advised <br />merchants in the Loop about a proposed project, asking if the developer understood <br />that the project could "not go forward in any way, shape or form" because it would <br />cause ethical problems for the City Council. He referred to a perception in the <br />community that "there is a special interest shadow government" in University City and <br />pointed out that this is not good. He expressed disappointment that the City Council <br />was "giving away its power to another study group", which is the Economic Advisory <br />Council. He said perceptions need to be addressed whether or not they are true, <br />because they can lead to ethics complaints. He said there is a problem that needs to <br />be addressed. <br /> <br />BILLS FOR SECOND AND THIRD READINGS <br /> <br />1.
