Session 1550, Minutes July 8, 1991 Page 10 an opportunity to look at am buy whatever they like am can afford. He does not feel that is happening, am the information gathered at UCRS can be used to validate that assumption. Mr. Wagner said many people seem concerned about the prospect of telephone solicitation, am he asked Mr. stradal what he felt the inpact might be on University City. Mr. stradal said other cxmnunities have allowed it without apparent adverse effects, or they would have made it unlawful. He added that the six-month trial period may illustrate if there are problems. Mrs. Schuman asked if the st. Louis Association of Realtors participated in the house tour last August of neighborhoods north of Olive. Mr. Stradal said his group sponsored the tour, am he recently met with Ms. Compton to see if they can assist again this year. Mrs. Schuman said the tour showed that a lot of people were interested in those neighborhoods, however, after the tour that did not seem to continue. Mr. stradal said he could not account for that, but noted that the Board has encouraged the Post-Dispatch to again fea- ture connmmities in the real estate section, which should benefit the entire area. Mr. Schoomer said University City was the first canununity featured. Mr. Adams said he could not emphasize enough about the solicitation, as those were the most corrplaints he gets from constituents.

Bill No. 8020 was given its third reading. Mrs. Schuman said the phrase "following closure on the property" was unaccep- table, because even though presently banned, IISo1d" signs are often left on property for weeks, which is nothing more than crass advertising. If blatant violations continue, she will insist at the erxl of the six month period that no "Sold" signs be allowed at all. Mr. Ollerxlorff said staff will do its best to monitor this situation. Mrs. Schuman moved that Bill No. 8020 be amended by eliminating the phrase IIfollowing closure on the property" am in- serting the word "only" so that it reads "I sold I signs shall be pennitted for mly seven (7) working days, limited to a trial period of six (6) months..."
