Regular Meeting January 31,2005 one which opens up the pool to any non-residents." She does not understand the discrepancy and asks "how can the discussion of out-sourcing take place when the Council has not made a decision to change the policy?" The City Manager said the pool pass sale policy is not being changed and passes are not sold to non-residents, except those persons approved by the Council: teachers, business people. He suggested further discussion with Councilmember Brot and said he felt she interpreted the situation as opening up sale of pool passes to non-residents, and he said it was not what was to be done. Perhaps it was misleading because a rate for non-resident pool passes was mentioned, but it only applies to non-residents already approved by the City Council: non-resident teachers, non-resident business people, and non-residents connected with Washington University. A rate was needed for these non-resident passes, but these passes will not be sold to anyone outside of these groups. Ms. Brot said she wanted additional information about a tree-cutting incident and Mr. Ollendorff said it would be advisable to discuss it off the record so as not to cast aspersion upon a private company. She also said the commissions communicate how they reach their decisions upon various issues and she would like a report upon 501 North Jackson and would like to receive the information from the Plan Commission on this topic. Mr. Wagner commented upon the ten percent issue relating to Charter Communications, first noted by Ms. Welsch. He said that if Charter is sensitive to the pressures of their all ready high rates, the worst possible way to obtain additional funds is to remove it from CALOP, one of the most productive commissions in the City. Ms. Colquitt asked Mr. Ollendorff for additional information about the property behind the Speedy Quick Print on Olive Boulevard and whether it belongs to the City. Then she asked that the organizers of the Neighborhood Summit be sent a letter expressing her appreciation for the good job done on neighborhood stabilization. Mr. Wagner added that notes made during the meeting would become a report submitted to the City manager. ADJOURNMENT The next regular meeting is Monday, February 14, 2005 at 6:30 P.M.
