Session 1934 <br /> <br />MINUTES OF THE UNIVERSITY CITY COUNCIL <br /> <br />September 20, 2004 <br /> <br />At a study session of the City Council of University City held in the second floor <br />conference room, September 20, 2004, Mayor Joseph Adams called the meeting to <br />order at 6:30 P.M. In addition to Mayor Adams, the following members of Council were <br />present: <br /> <br />Ms. Cassandra Colquitt <br />Ms. Francine Brungardt <br />Ms. Stefany Brot <br />Ms. Shelley Welsch <br />Mr. Arthur Sharpe, Jr. <br /> <br />Excused: <br /> <br />Mr. Robert G. Wagner <br /> <br />Also present was the City Manager, Frank Ollendorff. <br /> <br />Property Proposals and Procedures <br /> <br />Councilmember Brot raised the question, what are the property proposals <br />procedures and are the same ones used all the time? The City Manager <br />answered that the procedure depends upon what the proposal is. Nothing, in a <br />formal sense, goes to the Council first; most everything goes to either a Board or <br />Commission or to the staff, for example tax abatement or rezoning. To keep <br />Councilmembers informed, any development project brought to the City <br />Manager's attention is mentioned to the Mayor, to obtain his opinion as to <br />whether it should be part of a regular agenda, an executive session, or whatever. <br />If the City Manager is aware that a Councilmember is interested in a specific <br />project, he goes directly to that person, by-passing the Mayor, for example the <br />Gay Field lights. If there is any doubt, he consults the Mayor and a decision is <br />made. If the City Manager is aware there is interest in a certain matter he <br />advises that person, but he does not always advise every Councilmember per <br />se. Citizens approach the City in three different ways: 1) to Lehman Walker, <br />Director of Planning; 2) to the City Manager, or 3) to the Mayor. Whenever one <br />hears of a project from a developer, the other two are informed and the <br />developer is invited to meet, informally and off-the-record, with City officials. <br />Every question anticipated from the developer is checked with the Council in <br />advance, to determine what the Council policy is, so the City Manager can share <br />it with developers. The offer is made to advise the developer of the Council's <br />reaction to any proposals. This is customary behavior, but not a written rule. <br /> <br />Ms. Brot asked for a definite proposal which involved the whole Council before <br /> <br /> <br />
