Regular meeting <br />June 27, 2005 <br /> <br /> <br />Ms. Welsch moved approval. Ms. Brot seconded the motion. <br /> <br />Mr. Wagner said that he believes that a pizza house should have beer. He would like to <br />suggest a compromise period from six months to three months. Mayor Adams said that <br />the reason why Council has done this is to make sure a restaurant is a restaurant and <br />not anything else. Mr. Wagner said that was fine, but he still wants to amend the <br />motion. <br /> <br />Mr. Wagner amended the motion to approve under a three month waiting period. Mr. <br />Sharpe seconded the motion, which carried unanimously. <br /> <br />The original motion carried unanimously, as amended. <br /> <br />AGENDA #3 - Fire Station Lease <br /> <br />During the time that expansion and rehab of our Fire Station on North and South takes <br />place we need to rent suitable facilities to house the Fire Department personnel and <br />equipment. Mr. Ollendorff recommended approval of a 12-month lease at 8678 Olive for <br />a price of $2,800 per month. The building is sufficient for housing, storage, and office <br />purposes as well as inside storage of two ambulances and the fire pumper assigned to <br />this station. The price is reasonable and the building is the most suitable available in <br />the west half of University City. <br /> <br />Mr. Sharpe moved approval. Ms. Welsch seconded the motion. <br /> <br />Ms. Brot asked if this building will be set up to get trucks in and out real fast. Mr. <br />Ollendorff said that they are in the process of getting a fair price. There are <br />modifications that will need to be made, including raising the ceiling on the door; it <br />needs to be widened and raised. They need to add a shower and a stove. It looks like it <br />will be in the $10,000-$15,000 range. Mr. Ollendorff, responding to Ms. Brot, noted that <br />this need is included in the 05/06 budget, but not at this high of a figure. He is trying to <br />get the prices down. Ms. Brot said that we must have the fire protection and she is sure <br />that Mr. Ollendorff will do his best to bring the price down. <br /> <br />The motion carried unanimously. <br /> <br />AGENDA # 4 - Sculpture Loan Agreements <br /> <br />City staff has developed an excellent working relationship with the Gateway Foundation. <br />The foundation wishes to install Fish on a Bicycle in Lewis Park and Big Horse at <br />Centennial Commons. You will recall that this organization installed two sculptures last <br />year in the Loop and recently rehabbed the Rain Man piece. <br /> <br />Page 8 <br /> <br />
