Session 1929 July 12, 2004 Mr. Wagner moved to delay this for two weeks until Ms. Welsch is able to be present to contribute to the discussion and Ms. Brot seconded. Mayor Adams asked what kind of feed-back Mr. Wagner wanted from the City Manager, and Mr. Wagner said he expected answers to a series of question posed by Ms. Welsch and Ms. Brot. Mayor Adams said once the contract is approved with Dr. Jones and the survey instrument is prepared, the City Manager would return with answers to questions. Mr. Wagner asked if the contract could be structured in that way, and Mayor Adams said yes. Mr. Ollendorff said survey questions could be provided for the Council. Ms. Brot expressed concern that the survey tool may not be effective if citizens are not notified in advance, and asked if it could be conducted on the internet. Mayor Adams suggested that it might be better to leave design of the survey tool to the designers. Ms. Brot wondered if a mail or internet survey could be more effective. Mr. Sharpe agreed with the need to publicize the survey in advance. Ms. Colquitt suggested use of the kiosk boards and the CityScape to publicize the survey and Mr. Ollendorff said the survey would occur prior to the next CityScape, but a press release could be introduced once the contract is approved. She was assured that kiosk boards could be used. Richard Dockett, 6844 Crest Avenue, stated that the survey should provide "proportional representation" and "economic integration." The motion to delay passed. (Mayor Adams tried to reach Ms. Welsch again but received a busy signal) Resolution Authorizinq University Park #2 Neiqhborhood Improvement District Mr. Wagner introduced a Resolution authorizing the matter of the neighborhood improvement district in University Park No. 2 Subdivision and Ms. Brungardt seconded the motion. Ms. Colquitt asked for an explanation and Mayor Adams provided that explanation. Ms. Brungardt, as a resident of University Park #2, provided additional information regarding the history of the neighborhood improvement project. Resolution Authorizinq Intent of Councilmembers Appointed as TIF Members Ms. Colquitt introduced a Resolution requesting councilmembers be appointed to the University City TIF Commission and Mr. Wagner seconded the motion. Mayor Adams spoke to amend the Resolution to replace the words "members of each ward" to read "members of the City Council." Ms. Colquitt questioned this, and Mayor Adams responded that Missouri Statute #99.820 states it is the Mayor's prerogative to nominate people to this Commission and he thinks the this Resolution removes his prerogative.
