Regular Meeting <br />March 28, 2005 <br /> <br /> <br />The Bill was given its first reading. <br /> <br />COMMENTS <br /> <br />Ms. Welsch pointed out to her colleagues that Bills these days reflect multi-family <br />dwellings becoming condominiums, which says a lot for the desirability of living in <br />University City and she knows it is a benefit for the City, but she hopes when the <br />Council begins to discuss development, following the report from the Economic <br />Development Board, that the Council discusses ways to encourage this development <br />while still maintaining a good stock of rental housing for residents who cannot afford <br />condominiums. She hopes that the economic diversity of University City can be <br />maintained, while respecting the market forces in that area. <br /> <br />Ms. Brot thanked the City for sending her to a Planning Meeting in Kirkwood and to their <br />tour. She saw apartments, condominiums and town houses at the site formerly <br />occupied by Target in all different levels of pricing, plus three restaurants in the bottom <br />and with a plaza in front. <br /> <br />Additionally, she commented to the City Manager that she served on another board <br />where enough attention was not paid to the auditor’s report and they did not really <br />understand it. She referred to an item in this week’s Councilmember’s packets about <br />auditor’s comments. Since it has come to the attention of the City Council, she asked <br />that the topic be addressed in a Study Session meeting because she wants complete <br />understanding of this issue. <br /> <br />Finally, she mentioned Screenz, a project under development. She hopes the City <br />Council will be able to vote on a conditional use contract in May. This is a reminder and <br />a comment that the Loop needs more than just restaurants. She shared her enthusiasm <br /> <br />for the undertaking. <br /> <br />Request to go into Executive Session <br /> <br /> <br />Mr. Wagner moved and Mr. Sharpe seconded a motion to go into Executive Session <br />immediately following this meeting as provided by Missouri Statute 6.10.021, paragraph <br />1, 2 and 3, which is legal, real estate, and personnel. <br /> <br />The Roll Call vote was as follows: AYEs: Ms. Colquitt, Ms. Brungardt, Mr. Wagner, Ms. <br /> <br />Brot, Ms. Welsch, Mr. Sharpe and Mayor Adams; NAYs, none. <br /> <br />Adjournment <br /> <br />The next regular meeting of the City Council will be held on Monday, April 11, 2005 at <br />6:30 P.M. in the City Council Chambers.
